****************************************************************** ******

Utena had just walked out of the doctor's office. A smile was still present on her features. The news that she had just received, while unexpected this early was wonderful all the same. "I didn't expect to be telling Touga this kind of news so soon. (She smiled wider) Wouldn't this be a prefect Christmas surprise? It's only a week away. I have to figure out how I'm going to tell him." She thought.

She wanted to tell him of the gift they made on their honeymoon in a different way than normal and she wanted it to be special. She then hit upon an idea. Utena walked into Tiffany's. "Can I help you?" The salesperson asked.

"Yes, I would like a sliver rattle." Utena answered. The salesperson brought it out and wrapped it up for her. Utena paid for her purchase and then went home.

Once she was home, Utena hid the gift in the place where she had all of Touga's gifts from her. After she had made sure that it was concealed from any snooping, she had waited for Touga to come home.

"Darling, I'm home." Touga said to Utena when he came through the door and greeted her with a kiss. "I got the tree today. A couple of servants are bringing it in. I thought that after dinner, we could decortate our first Christmas tree together." Touga said to her afterwards.

After dinner they began to decorate the tree. Touga put up the crystal star and lights. Utena put on the garlands. Once they were up, Touga got out the ornaments. Their collection was varied, from treasured heirloom ones from their families, gifts from their friends and some they bought themselves. Together they placed the ornaments on all sides of the tree, until it was an accumulation of love, laughter and good memories.

Touga turned on the lights and then stood next to Utena. "Our first tree is so beautiful." Utena said as she admired the tree with Touga.

He looked into her eyes and replied "It seems that everything we make turns out to be beautiful. Now my love lets get the rest of the living room ready for our first Christmas. "

Within an hour they had the living room decorated. Touga went behind Utena and kissed her on the lips. "You were under the mistletoe." He said to her afterwards with a sly smile.

Utena looked up and saw Touga holding some mistletoe above her. "Hmm. I wonder how that got there." She replied. Utena took the mistletoe from Touga's fingers and dropped it on the floor.

With a seductive grin she said "We don't need mistletoe to spread Christmas cheer among ourselves." Touga then picked Utena up and carried her to their bedroom.

He placed her on the bed and they shared a passionate kiss. When they broke for air, they couldn't get out of their clothes fast enough. They slid under the sheets.

Touga kissed Utena's hands and each of her fingers. He then looked into her crystal blue eyes and said to her softly "I love you Utena."

"I love you too Touga." She replied in a soft voice with her own emotions. Utena asked mischievously "Are you going to stare at me all night or make love to me?"

"Aw, can't I do both?" Touga joked before lowering his mouth for another fervent kiss between the two.

Touga's tongue traveled from Utena's mouth to her breast. She let out a soft moan when his tongue lightly touched her nipple. He sucked them ardently, with kind of a mad zeal. After giving his full attention to her breasts, Touga planted small kisses leading down from her stomach to the top of her womanhood.

Utena let out a loud moan when a couple of Touga's fingers entered her opening. He stroked her softly till she climaxed onto his waiting fingers.

He took his fingers out of her and licked them clean. With a naughty smile gracing his features, Touga brought himself up for another kiss. Utena wrapped her legs around his hips as he entered her. They rode each other out until they found themselves climaxing together. Utena and Touga fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning Utena woke up, feeling nauseous and ran to the bathroom. Touga woke up to discover his wife getting sick. She came back to the bedroom. With a concerned look on his face, he reached out and touched her face. He cupped her cheek gently and asked "Are you feeling ok?"

She waved his hand off. "I'm ok. Just have an upset stomach. There's nothing for you to worry about." She replied. Utena hated to lie to her husband but she didn't count on her morning sickness to start so soon.

Touga insisted that Utena stay home and rest. He called her aunt, whom she was working for and told her that Utena wasn't coming in today. Before he left for his job, he kissed Utena goodbye and told her that he would come home early to check on her.

Christmas Eve

Utena and Touga were placing the gifts under the tree for tomorrow. They had insisted that everyone come to their home to celebrate Christmas. Their family and friends would arrive tomorrow.

After she placed the last gift under the tree's long branches, Utena took a small gift out and guided Touga to the sofa. When they were seated, Utena said "I was going to give you this tomorrow but since you've been good, I think you're entitled to open it now."

Touga took the gift from Utena and with a curious look on his face, opened it. He was confused when he saw what was inside. "A baby rattle? Utena is this your way of telling me to grow up?" Touga asked when he first saw the silver rattle.

Utena giggled at Touga's response. She replied "No silly; it's not for you. It's for your baby."

"My baby? I don't have a baby. Unless your preg..." He cut off, a shocked look replacing his earlier confusion.

Utena smiled sweetly. "Pregnant. Yes Touga, you and I are going to have a baby." She stated.

Touga was overjoyed. "So my love, when's our daughter due?" He asked when he could formulate thoughts above his happiness.

"The baby is due in July. How do you know it's going to be a girl?" She retorted.

With his trademark smile he told her "I'm highly confident that we are going to have a girl. Call it paternal instinct. Now who are we going to tell first?"

Utena looked him in the eye and knowing what he was up to replied "Everyone is going to find out at the same time tomorrow at dinner. Don't even think about making any calls before hand or else you're going to find yourself sleeping on the sofa tonight!" She threatened.

Knowing that Utena meant what she said he wisely stayed silent. He pulled her towards him for a congratulatory kiss. After they broke from that kiss for air, Touga carried Utena to their bedroom for a Christmas celebration of their own.

Few years later

Touga was putting the ornaments on the tree. Their eldest daughter Suki was helping him while Utena was busy putting their 2-month-old daughter to bed.

Suki was handing her father the ornaments. When she was getting another ornament, she noticed a sliver rattle lying among the tissue paper. Curious to know why it was there she asked "Daddy, why is there a baby rattle in with the ornaments?"

Touga smiled at his daughter and replied "That was a Christmas gift from your mother. It was her way of telling me that you were coming." He then took the rattle from her and put it on the tree. When it was safely nestled on the evergreen branches, he told her an edited version of the story behind the rattle.

**************************************************************** ********

Sorry for this story being really short. This fic is actually a wedding gift to my friend Guardian Moon. No he's not marrying me. He loves Christmas fics and I had promised that I'd write him one.

This was also my first Christmas fic. I wanted to do an Utena/Touga one because no one had the balls to write one.

I have to thank Tenjou Utena who helped me come up with idea and make this fic just right. I also have to thank Suppis Tenshi for encouraging finishing this and being my beta. She and Tenjou Utena write really good Utena/Touga fics and I encourage you to read them.
