Summary- The Cold Case unit gets together for thanksgiving weekend, what can go wrong? Will Scotty break up Lilly's relationship with Saccardo in order to have her heart? Will Kat and Vera finally admit that they have feelings for each other. Most importantly can the squad survive, thanksgiving together or not?
Everyone was surprised when Stillman had announced that he wanted everyone in his squad over for thanksgiving. No one had any idea that it was by the Jersey Shore, that wasn't the worst. In addition, he asked Lilly to host the thanksgiving dinner. She groaned but yet it couldn't hurt to spend a holiday with her squad, could it?
Though she got the easiest job, everyone else had to bring something. Upon arriving at the house, Lilly went inside to see just how dark it was; before Stillman popped his head out," Sorry to spook you Lil, I haven't been here for awhile now."
"This is your house?" she asked.
Stillman chuckled a bit," I own it, used to come out here often. I now never get the chance. Oh I picked up the turkey, so everything's waiting in the kitchen."
Upon walking into the kitchen, Lilly could see that there was indeed enough space to cook, "Just one problem boss, I don't know how to cook."
He nodded, before taking out everything. She laughed softly, while shaking her head, "Never saw you cook before."
As Stillman was showing her how to make the stuffing, a camera clicked on, while watching both Lilly and John cooking together. When Lilly looked up, she saw Scotty standing there with a camera, "Turn the damn thing off Scotty!"
However Scotty didn't," Detective Lilly Rush is getting her first cooking lesson on Thanksgiving Day," zooming up to her face," That don't look that appetizing to me Lil."
"Turn it off; before I shove this in your face, "she teased.
Once that the camera was off, Scotty chuckled in amusement, "You sure that's the best thing for Lil to be doing?"
"Everyone has to teach sometime Scotty, why don't you join us," but before Scotty could say anything, Lilly took a hold of his hand. Actually it wasn't that bad, besides he could use a few pointers here and there regarding how to cook. His mother had been pressuring him for years, on wanting him to learn.
After the stuffing was made, John wanted to do this part himself; leaving both Lilly and Scotty amused. Clicking on the camera, Scotty slowly taped him," 11am, Lt. John Stillman is dressing the turkey," turning to see Lilly kissing Saccardo, " While Detective Lilly Rush is busying making love to a cheap Narcotics cop."
Saccardo looked up," A cheap Cop, I think that relates to you," looking now straight into Lilly's eyes, " This is the most Gorgeous cop in all of Philly, but has a jack-ass for a partner."
Turning off the camera, the two shook hands, "Don't tell me that you're joining homicide."
"I wouldn't be able to get any work done, Rush would be distracting me."
"She's got a habit of that," Scotty said, looking over at his beautiful partner, "Got those blue eyes to boot."
Lilly now shot him a look before seeing Vera, Jefferies and Kat standing there. Right away, John came out and handed the two men some beers, while the girls went into the kitchen. Kat couldn't believe that their boss has this home by the water," Nice place."
"Yeah tell me about it, boss already put the turkey in. I made something I don't how edible it is," showing her a dish with sweet potatoes' with Marshmallows on top."
Kat was pretty impressed, "Not bad Lil, my mom makes something similar."
Putting the dish inside of the fridge, Lilly then proceeded to take out the milk, while noticing that there wasn't any peelers around, coming out of the kitchen; the men were already seated in front of the tube. "Any of you guys know where the peelers are?"
Vera grunted, while Eddie now got up. He then went into the kitchen and pulled out a peeler," I forgot your boss asked me to bring one."
"Liar," Lilly said, "You stole it from my house, last week."
"You want to arrest me detective?"
Kat now shoved him away, "Get out Saccardo, we've got work to do."
Once he was gone, Kat then closed the door," How the hell do you even put up with him, he's so annoying?"
Nonethless Lilly continued to peeling the potatoes, as Kat turned on the radio. It had turned out that the two actually had similar music tastes, "Now we're talking."
" Better than hearing them outside arguing, seriously I am going to kill Vera one day," Kat said," I don't know how you put up with Scotty for seven years. The man clearly has some serious issues."
Putting down the peeler, Lilly turned," Scotty's not so bad, he's annoying at times; arrogant and sometimes a big pain the ass; but he did save my life. I can't hate him for that, he always watches my back."
Kat rolled her eyes, "So why date that jack-ass out there?"
"He's not a jack-ass Kat, Eddie has another side to him," seeing how already sickened Kat was," He's also incredible in bed."
Kat just about wanted to throw up," That's even worse that the time you discovered Vera shaving inside the women's bathroom," but as the two continued talking about the men in their squad, John walked in as his eyebrow went up, upon hearing the rock music blasting, " You two talking or cooking?"
Lilly laughed softly, "Is Vera about to lose yet another bet today?"
" I have no idea, I'm staying out of it?" seeing that his two best detectives already read clearly into this thoughts," Alright I bet him 20, you might want to start to boil them Lil; once that you washed them over. Vera could probably devour the whole bowl."
After John had left, Scotty now entered the kitchen; as he opened the fridge; but was clearly checking Lilly out. He knew that was with someone, yet was determined to break up this relationship for good. Though she'd probably kill him, for doing that," Hey Lil, we have any beer left?"
" I wasn't the one who brought the beer," noticing that Scotty was clearly checking her out," If you stopped checking out my ass, you'd see that it was right in front of your face."
Now utterly embarrassed, Scotty grabbed the beers and left; leaving Kat grinned at Lilly whom ignored her. While now taking a phone call from ADA Bell, Lilly then started boiling the potatoes while searching for several cans of gravy.
Knowing that Vera had a hearty appetite, she used practically all the cans up. In the meantime, Scotty came in for another bottle of beer," It smells good in here, so you're an expert cook now?"
"Not really, Saccardo's going to make the rest. This is more his thing," as Scotty now helped her open several of the cans, "Where's Miller?"
"Still on the phone with Bell, seems like he really is into her, "seeing Kat storming back into the kitchen "Or not, he just broke up with me."
Scotty smiled, "So what now your free?" seeing Kat glaring at him, "You better stop now."
" Just kidding with you Miller," he said following her out.
Lilly groaned, knowing that this would be one very long thanksgiving weekend.
