(63) Challenge: Day 24 - 12/24/19
Song: Christmas Eve by Kelly Clarkson (Another Christmas favorite of mine!)
I'm hearing sleigh bells
I'm seeing snow
I've waited all year, baby, just to see those reindeer
Watch them as they go
Home by the fireside
Twinkling lights
I've waited all year, baby, just to see that sleigh flying to the night
"Man, it sucks to have to work Christmas Eve." Whined Foster for what seemed like the hundredth time.
Brett laughed from the passenger side of the ambulance, "Oh, stop your whining, we get to go home early tomorrow morning."
"Whatever. Tell me what you got Casey for your all's first Christmas together to cheer me up."
"That will cheer you up?" Asked Brett as she continued to laugh at her over-exaggerated partner.
"Yeah, come on."
"Okay," Started Brett, "Well, I got him tickets to the next Cubs' game."
Foster thought about it for a second, "That's it?"
"Yeah, why? Do you think that's an okay gift." Asked Brett as she immediately started to worry about her gift-giving abilities.
Foster laughed, "Girl, chill. What you got him seems fine, I just thought you go the more personal route for your all's first Christmas together."
Brett looked at her friends with wide eyes, "Oh my God, what did I do? You're completely right. I should have got him something else. I mean this is our first Christmas together?"
"What have I done?" Whispered Foster as she pulled back into the firehouse.
All the lights, all of the fun, all of us here, all of us one
Only a gift, only a toy, only for a good girl and boy
The greatest party you ever did see
I'm hearing sleigh bells (hear those sleigh bells ring)
I'm seeing snow (I see those snowy scenes)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see those reindeer
Watch them as they go
Home by the fireside (home by the fireside)
Twinkling lights (all of those pretty lights)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see that sleigh flying to the night
Brett and Foster were immediately greeted by Kidd when they exited the ambulance.
"Hey, how was your last call?"
Foster looked at Kidd with wide eyes trying to tell her that right now was not the right time to approach Brett with anything else than what was on her mind.
"Kidd, I have a question for you."
"Okay," Responded Kidd as she looked from Brett to Foster and tried to figure out what was wrong.
"What did you get Kelly for your all's first Christmas together?"
"What?" Asked Kidd as she saw Foster grimace.
"I really need to know. I think I screwed up with Matt's gift."
Kidd thought about it for a second before she responded, "Well, I think I got him a picture of the two of us that I had framed for him to set on his desk or in his loft."
Brett sighed before she covered her face with both of her hands.
"Brett, it will be fine. Casey's not gonna care about that." Yelled Foster as she watched Brett pull out her phone and got to her Amazon app.
All of the laughs, all of the dreams, all of the songs, all of us sing
Only a wish, only a star, only a leap from where you are
For those who believe on Christmas Eve
I'm hearing sleigh bells (hear those sleigh bells ring)
I'm seeing snow (I see those snowy scenes)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see those reindeer
Watch them as they go
Home by the fireside (home by the fireside)
Twinkling lights (all of those pretty lights)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see that sleigh flying to the night
A couple of hours later Brett was finally ready to face Casey.
"Hey, you busy?" Asked Brett as she knocked on his office door.
Casey looked up from his stack of papers and smiled at the beautiful woman in front of him, "I'm never too busy for you. What's up?"
Brett slowly stepped into his office and closed the door, "Well, I actually wanted to talk to you about something."
Casey turned his chair so he was facing Brett, who was now set on his bunk, "Okay, is something wrong? Or did something happen when you and Foster went out on that last call?"
Brett smiled at his cute overprotective traits, "No, no nothing too serious. I just wanted to talk to you about Christmas."
"Christmas?"
Brett smiled as she watched the confused look come across Casey's face, "Yes, Christmas."
"Okay, what about it?"
"Well, I was thinking maybe this year we should...skip getting each other gifts."
"Why?" Asked Casey as she tried to think of any woman he knew who didn't like to receive a gift on Christmas day.
"Well...I just think that it puts too much pressure on new couples, you know then they worry about if the other person will like the gift or not and if they know the other person well enough."
Casey sat thinking for a minute before he asked, "Brett, what's this really about?"
Brett sighed as she realized that she can never really pull anything over on him, "Foster said something to me and now I'm worried that I didn't pick out a good gift to give you for our first Christmas together."
"Brett, come here." Said Casey as he motioned for Brett to come over and sit on his lap.
"Brett, I don't care about any gift you give me as long as I have you. You are one of the greatest gifts I will ever have in my life."
Brett smiled as she leaned over and kissed his lips, "I love you."
"I love you too. Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas!"
A party for you, and for me
A party for a magical scene
Ain't no party like Christmas Eve
I'm hearing sleigh bells (hear those sleigh bells ring)
I'm seeing snow (I see those snowy scenes)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see those reindeer
Watch them as they go
Home by the fireside (home by the fireside)
Twinkling lights (all those pretty lights)
I've waited all year, baby, just to see that sleigh flying to the night
