Song: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Mariah Carey's Version (My absolute favorite Christmas song!)

* Merry Christmas! I hope everyone has a wonderful day! I can't believe I'm almost done with my everyday postings! That's crazy to me! Anyways, Merry Christmas!


Oh, oh

Yeah, yeah oh oh

Ooh yeah

the snow's comin' down

(Christmas) I'm watchin' it fall

(Christmas) lots of people around

(Christmas) baby, please come home

the church bells in town

(Christmas) are ringing in song

(Christmas) full of happy sounds

(Christmas) baby, please come home

Brett smiled as she felt her bed dip down and her husband wrap his cold hands around her waist.

"Merry Christmas," Whispered Casey before he leaned down to kiss Brett's neck.

Brett sleepily smiled back at him, "Merry Christmas to you too!"

Both were so happy to be spending their first married Christmas together.

"What time is it?" Asked Brett as she opened her eyes and let out a kitten-sized yawn.

"It's about half-past six."

"You woke me up this early in the morning after the crazy shift we worked yesterday?"

"I thought you loved getting up early on Christmas."

Brett smiled before she leaned over and pecked his lips, "I do, but I just been really tired lately."

Casey looked at Brett with worried eyes, "You think you still have the flu?"

"Maybe. Foster said she thinks she's starting to come down with something too."

They're singing Deck The Halls

But it's not like Christmas at all

'Cause I remember when you were here

And all the fun we had last year

pretty lights on the tree

(Christmas) I'm watching them shine

(Christmas) you should be here with me

(Christmas) baby, please come home

They're singing Deck The Halls

But it's not like Christmas at all

'Cause I remember when you were here

And all the fun we had last year

Brett and Casey finally got out of bed after another hour of just cuddling and talking.

"Hey, did you call your parents yet?" Asked Casey as he brought the two cups of coffee he made over to the couch where Brett was sitting with a blanket wrapped around her.

"Not yet. They should have landed about an hour ago, so I'll call them in a little while and give them time to settle in with my aunt and uncle."

"Did Kelly tell you what he got Kidd for Christmas?"

Casey looked up at Brett and smiled before he responded to her question, "Umm...yeah, he said he got her a puppy."

Brett looked at Casey like he was crazy, "He actually got her a puppy?"

"Yeah." Laughed Casey as he thought about him and Severide going to pick out the puppy from the shelter.

"I thought he said no to any animals in his loft the last time she asked him"

"Well, I guess he finally decided to give in to her."

"Wow," Laughed Brett as she thought about Kelly Severide trying to wrangle a puppy in his high-kept living space.

"Hey, what do you say to opening a few of our gifts under the tree?"

"Okay," Whispered Brett as she felt nervousness start to creep up.

"Here, I'll grab them." Called Casey as he got up, walked over to the tree, and grabbed a few of the boxes laying under it.

"Why do I have to go first?" Playfully asked Brett as Casey set a beautifully wrapped rectangle box in front of her.

"Well, you open that one and then I'll open one of mine."

Brett smiled and nodded before she carefully started to pull the purple wrapping paper off of the box.

"Do you like it?" Asked Casey as he watched Brett stare at the diamond bracelet laying on its cushion in the baby blue Tiffany box.

"Oh my God, Casey its…"

"If you don't like it we can return it and get something else, but I just thought of you and how good it would look on you when I saw it."

"Casey, I love it! It's so beautiful. Thank you!" Smiled Brett before she threw her arms around his neck and kissed the life out of him

"I'm glad you like it."

Brett quickly pulled herself away from Casey and handed him the box she wanted him to open, "Okay, now it's your turn."

Casey laughed at his wife's urgency in him opening his present before he took it from her hands and tore into it like a kid on Christmas morning.

"Ughh...babe I think you forget something." Commented Casey as he stared at the empty picture frame in his box.

Brett laughed before she picked the picture frame up and handed it to him, "Well, I was actually thinking that you could feel it with pictures of the baby and put it on your desk."

Casey nodded, "Yeah, I can fill it with pictures...WAIT the baby? What baby? Are you pregnant?"

Brett didn't say anything she just looked at her husband and nodded as tears started to fill her eyes.

"Oh my God, Brett you're really pregnant?"

"Yes, I'm really pregnant." Laughed Brett as she got off the couch and walked to her purse where she had hidden the plastic bag with the seven pregnancy tests she took with Kidd and Foster.

Casey didn't say anything when she handed him the bag he just jumped off the couch, grabbed his wife, and twirled her around.

"I love you! Thank you for the best Christmas gift ever!"

"I love you too!"

if there was a way

(Christmas) I'd hold back this tear

(Christmas) but it's Christmas day

(Please) please

(Please) please

(Please) please (please)

Baby please come home (please)

(Christmas) baby please come home

(Christmas) baby please come home

(Christmas) baby please come home (Christmas)
