A/N: I do not think I've ever updated this much in one day. Honestly. I've posted/updated three things. I wrote a lot today. Heck, I had a lot of time. Nothing important's going on right now. It's winter break. :D Anyway, I really was excited when Wayne and Grace got together. I mean, really. I was like, YESH! So, this chapter is basically them, doing basically nothing in preperation for something going on tomorrow. :) Enjoy some VanRigsby/Rigspelt/Wayce/Grayne/Joe. Ha, jkay on the last one.
Chapter: December 22nd
Grace sat on her couch, a book in her lap and a blanket across her. She was so ready for Christmas. Her walls were covered in decorations, and she was pretty sure that her electricity bill was going to be high due to all of the lights. She heard a crash in the kitchen, and waited.
"Grace!" Rigsby yelled, and she rolled her eyes. She got up, putting her book down and walking into the kitchen. She started to laugh at the sight, and Wayne glared at her.
"Not funny. Help." He said, and she walked over to him. How he managed to get a large clump of cookie dough in his hair was beyond her.
"Why are you baking cookies?"
"It's almost Christmas. Plus, everyone is going over to Cho's tomorrow for a pre-Christmas celebration and gift exchange." He said, and she nodded. She smiled at him, kissing his cheek when she finished pulling the cookie dough out of his hair.
"I feel sorry for Cho. He doesn't have anyone to share Christmas day with." Grace said, and Rigsby shrugged.
"I think he goes to his parent's house. From what I can tell, they are close."
Grace nodded, sitting on the table.
"I'd hope so. I mean, I'd usually go to my parents house, but this year I'm staying here with you, and I'm pretty sure Lisbon and Jane are spending Christmas together." Wayne laughed.
"Cho told me yesterday that Jane called him the other night, and he could hear Lisbon in the background."
Grace shook her head as Wayne laughed some more. She reached up and touched his shoulder.
"Well, they are both alone here. I bet they enjoy each other's friendly company. And no in the way you are thinking." Grace said, catching Wayne giggling like a girl. She hit his shoulder lightly, and he laughed harder.
"Okay. I know. Just…" He kept laughing, and Grace rolled her eyes.
"Plus, I like it. They deserve to have someone to be with." Grace said more seriously, and Wayne stopped placing drops of dough on the cookie sheet. He turned around, wiping his hands off, and carefully wrapped his girlfriend up in his arms.
"I think Jane would laugh if he realized how much you think about him and Lisbon." He said, and she laughed shortly.
"Is it wrong to want your friends to be happy?" She said, looking him in the eyes. He shook his head.
"Nope." He whispered, kissing her softly. He went back to making cookies, and when he had a moment he looked at Grace. She looked perplexed.
"Something wrong?" He asked, and she shook her head. She got off the table, placing her head against his shoulder and wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Nope. I'm just fine." She whispered, and Wayne smiled. He went back to putting cookies on sheet, and every once in a while, he would pat her hands.
"Remember when we found Lisbon on the couch in an elf costume?"
"And Jane was sitting there, smiling like the Cheshire cat? Oh, yes I do." Wayne said, and Grace laughed.
"I wonder how he got her to put that on."
Wayne stopped moving, looking up. He hadn't thought much of it after his initial reaction, and now thinking about it, it kind of made sense. Smirking, he turned to look at Grace.
"Jane's really good at blackmail." He turned back to his work.
It took a while, but Grace finally got it.
A/N: I have a question for you all. I know this say's until Christmas, but I just kind of got the idea for something about New Years. Should I extend this to encompass New Years, or do another little oneshot about New Years and New Years Eve? Idk, I'm confused. I have so much time, I could type it now and post it like exactly at midnight.... wait. No, I'll be at a party. Well, whatever!
Don't forget to review!
