The holiday finally arrives, and you make sure to wake up before Blackfire does. You go to your gifts' hiding spot, and bring them out into the open. When you turn back to the bed, you see that Blackfire has done the same.
"Where'd--?"
"Under the bed," she answers quickly. "Now c'mon, let's exchange them before breakfast!"
You get back in bed and hand Blackfire her five presents as she hands you your two.
"Two?" you ask.
"What?" Blackfire asks back, disappointed in you. "Just because they're only two doesn't mean you won't like them as much as I like my five!"
You look at her skeptically, but open your presents anyway.
Blackfire loves hers, and kisses you each time she opens a box or pulls something out of a bag.
Once she folds up her new clothes, she lets you take your turn. The first gift is set of brand new video game remotes.
"To go with your Christmas presents," Blackfire explains. "With our strength, the remotes get banged up and worn out faster than they're suppose to, so I got you plenty of spares."
"So thoughtful," you say as you smooth her cheek. You then open up the second gift, and are truly surprised!
"My stuffed animal...?"
The stuffed doll looks a lot like your old stuffed, one-horned creature, but brand new, and with smaller teeth and a longer horn. The eyes were also different, not as wide.
"This isn't the original, is it? Flashfire still has that one in her room."
"Right," she replies. "I made this one myself, by hand. It took some time, I made practice models."
Blackfire reaches back under the bed and pulls out three others that looked... deformed. You do your best not to bust out laughing.
"This is really sweet, Blackfire," you say. "But I have no use for a toy like this."
"I know," Blackfire says. "Think of it as both a gift for you, and our child."
You look at her with astonishment.
"When we have him," she adds quickly. "Or her. I'm planning ahead."
You're a bit relieved. You want a son or daughter, just not so soon!
"Want breakfast?" Blackfire asks.
You nod, and Blackfire leads you to the kitchen. Together you make pancakes and scrambled eggs, pile them on plates, and hurry back to your room just as Flashfire hurries out.
"Headed to Titans Tower to be with Beastboy, bye!" she says in one breathe. Flashfire flies away, and you two are now alone.
Blackfire grins naughtily, and undresses.
"Now we can have naked breakfast in bed!"
You join Blackfire in her nudity, and the two of you snuggle together as you eat the pancakes and eggs you had made.
