Disclaimer: I still don't own anything except the plots.
This will be the last story/update I'll be posting for the next 40 days. See y'all then!
1)Enchantment – Corinne Bailey Rae
She wonders what kind of spell he has over. Every time they fight, something draws her back to him. More than likely it's that damnable smirk on his face when she arrives at his office, to apologize for going over the line. They been friends for years, and it's only now that she realizes that not only is Leonard H. McCoy the most impressive doctor she's met, he also happens to be a magician of sorts. Like how he always knows how to make her shiver with the simplest words. Or when he takes her by surprise and wraps his arms around her from behind when no one is looking. Or maybe it's because when he tells her he loves her, she believes him.
2)Best for Last – Adele
Christine Chapel has known Leonard McCoy long before he met his now ex-wife. Sure they were just friends. The kind of friends that hooked up occasionally when there's been too much of that poison McCoy likes to call whiskey. Christine won't admit that it broke her heart a little bit each and every time he would get up from one of those nights, and they would share a knowing look, that said we're just friends let's forget it. Except she couldn't, she made some bull story about not being able to attend his wedding, but she does agree to be his head nurse when he starts his attending position. And when life finally comes together, and he's left his battle axe of an ex-wife and Christine has left the asshole Dr. Korby, they move in together as friends, and register for Starfleet together, and somewhere along the trip they find each other. And they figure out that the cliché save the best for last is a cliché for a reason.
3)Swept Away – Mandy Moore
They both miraculously have shore leave, and here they are on earth, sitting in his family's ranch house. The house they lived in together as they licked their proverbial wounds from hellish relationships. Leonard pulls Christine with him to the stables to go for a quick ride, and she rides just slow of him so that she can watch what a beautiful specimen this man is. They have a quick picnic together underneath what Leonard blushingly calls the sweetheart's tree. There are hearts with initials carved all over the trunk and the branches. Christine asks where his initials are, and he replies that he never did get to carve his name there. She smiles and takes the steak knife, and asks if she may add something to the tree, he gives her a small wave and she begins to carve their initials into the tree surrounded by a heart. He comes up behind her and plants small kisses along her neck and shoulders. Later they spend the rest of their day lying in their bed as the dying daylight fades to softer moonlight. He pulls her close as he whispers, happy anniversary.
4)All I Want – Toad the Wet Sprocket
He knows he's said the wrong thing as soon as they leave his mouth. And now he's practically chasing her around the ship trying to apologize. He finally rounds up to her door and he's pounding on her door until he thinks his knuckles will bleed, and he's sobbing like he never had before. He hears her sobs on the other side of the door too.
"Please Christine, Please. Darling, I'm so sorry I was out of line."
"What do you want Leonard? What?"
"You, just you. All I want is you, it's all I've ever wanted. Baby I'm so sorry, I was an ass. Christine, please let me in, baby please… I love you."
"Are you just saying that so I'll let you in?"
"Christine Chapel, I love you."
He thought he'd lost her, he hunched his shoulders and was about ready to take off for sickbay, when Christine's door slid open, and there she was eyes puffy, and sniffling, she threw herself into his arms sobbing. He held her like he thought she'd evaporate if he let go.
"I love you too, you big jerk."
5)Get to Me – Train
Christine Chapel never thought she'd be barefoot and pregnant, on a starship nonetheless. This was their second child now, and they also had Jo now. As she went through Michael's baby things and looked around their now extended quarters, she would never have thought she'd have all this. Pictures littered the walls so holos, some pictures Jo had drawn as a little girl, some of Michael's 2 year old "drawings." As she let herself become immersed in memories of their family, her illustrious husband came in hauling a giggling young boy on his shoulders. It was possibly one of the most gorgeous things she'd ever seen in her life. Not a few seconds later her step-daughter stepped through and wrapped her arms around Christine before cooing to the baby. She had everything.
6)Everything I Can't Have – Robin Thicke
He was full of surprises, on their third date Leonard McCoy took her dancing. And he could dance, he was surprisingly light on his feet. He twirled her around the dance floor, looking at her with eyes that made her weak in the knees. He was just so damn seductive, by the end of the night, when they found themselves tangled in his sheets, she realized that the beat they had been dancing too was similar to when they… you know. Damn, guess what they say is true, a man who can dance is also amazing in bed. And Christine could tell you first hand, that he was pretty damn any good.
7)Nine in the Afternoon – Panic at the Disco
They sat together on his desk, just talking at first. Then his arm slid around her waist and her head rested on his shoulder. Why they hadn't thought about this before completely escaped Bones. He could sit here all day just holding her, and hearing her voice. He needed this, needed her. She kept him sane, and understood him and accepted him. This was the same position they'd been in when he moved her into his family's ranch house and they sat on the back porch that night, swearing to be there for each other, holding each other, just talking.
8)One Step at a Time – Jordin Sparks
Joanna flew into the room, spotted her dad and stepmom and ran straight into Christine's arms, not bothering to answer her dad's belligerent questions. Christine ushered her stepdaughter into their living room. She asked her what was wrong and it was just a case of teenager-itis. Boys, hormones, not being at a normal school, she needed a mom. Bones looked on with a deep tenderness in his eyes watching his girls together like this. Joanna had her arms tightly wound around her step mom, not call her Christine, but calling her mom. She held her and told her daughter, that life would be real hard during this time in her life, but if she took things one step at time she'd get through it, and that she'd always be there for her. Jo smiled through her tears hugged her mom and told her she loved her, then kissed her daddy on the cheek and told him the same as she when to her room to study some.
"One step at a time huh?"
"Yup, and that's what I'm gonna tell the next baby girl"
"Next?"
"You betcha in about 8 months."
9)Rainbow – Colbie Caillet
She sat leaned against her husband, and they watched their children playing with their cousins from the ship. She couldn't believe that they could be so blessed to have this family. They looked to their friends and smiled that they'd grown up together, and their kids could do the same.
10)Falling for the First Time – Barenaked Ladies
Leonard H. McCoy, the CMO of the Enterprise, felt like a teenager. He was getting ready for his first real legitimate date with Christine Chapel. He held on to the flowers in his hand tightly, sweating profusely, and debating on whether or not to palm the doorbell. Before he could there she was, out of regulation clothing in a summer dress, she looked like a vision. His voice cracked, and he thrust the flowers at her like a moron, she was one of his best friends and he was nervous like an adolescent boy. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek, and took his arm. When he didn't move, she lifted her brow at him and he snapped out of his reverie and lead her to the restaurant.
