"I was thinking about Mary riding
on her lowly donkey into Bethlehem and Joseph finding no room at the inn," she said softly. Her eyes turned misty as she looked up at him. "I'll bet she wasn't thinking about who her child was going to grow up to be when she went into labor in that smelly old stable. I'll bet she was lonely and frightened without family or friends around her to see her through."
Lizzie stood on her toes to kiss Marshall's cheek, but he turned his head to her and caught her lips. She took his hand and placed it on her flat belly.
"It makes me grateful to know that our baby will be born into the Rabbit Creek pack with so many wolvers who care about the Lindys and Travises of our world. Maggie's right." She mimicked the older woman's mountain tinted voice. "It ain't perfect, but it's as close to heaven as you're gonna find here on earth."
"That's what we're trying to preserve, you and I." He rubbed the spot where she'd placed his hand. "For us and for our pack."
"Merry Christmas, Marshall."
"Merry Christmas, Lizzie," Marshall said before he kissed her again.
