Disclaimer: Hey, all, I've got a new idea! You all can sue me, but you have to take my brother, too! Lol, ok, I still own nothing, but would love to own Speed! Anyway, the song is 'All I Want for Christmas' by Mariah Carey.

Rating: NC-17! NC-17! Okay, not really, it's like, probably G, PG at the most. Wow.

Pairing: Horatio/Calleigh and Speed/Alexx. Yeah, right! S/C all the way!

Author's Note: Ok, I know it's like, the middle of summer, but I love this song, so work with it. Think of it as Christmas in July like they used to do on all those mattress commercials! Only, you don't get a free pillow, sorry! Lol, Luv ya all 2 bits!

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There's just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true...

All I want for Christmas

Is you...

~*~

Calleigh put the last ornament on the tree and stepped back to look at it. It looked a little better, but it was still weak and meager. But really, what did she expect to get when she went out at 7 pm on Christmas Eve, in Miami no less, to get a Christmas tree? The rest of her decorations had been put up only a few hours earlier. She wouldn't have put decorations up at all if not for a phone call she had received that afternoon.

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you...

You baby

~*~

Her mom had called, letting her daughter know that they wanted to come over for Christmas dinner, which was a big surprise to Calleigh, who knew her parents hardly wanted to do anything together. This obviously meant her father wasn't drinking, for the moment at least, and her mother must be in a good mood because Christmas was her favorite holiday, which was exactly the reason for Calleigh's last minutes decorating. She didn't feel like listening to her mom's bitching on Christmas.

~*~

I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow

I'm just gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do

Baby all I want for Christmas is you,

You...

She studied the pathetic tree and realized that there were no presents under it. Not that it mattered, the only thing her dad would appreciate would be a bottle of Vodka, and her mom wouldn't be satisfied with anything. She didn't have anyone she could call a real friend anymore, just close co-workers, and all they exchanged were a few 'Have a good Christmas' and 'Happy Holidays' in the hallway. Besides, there was only one thing she wanted for Christmas, and that was a 'someone,' not a 'something.' She didn't even know when she started having feelings for him. Sometime after Janet's death, she supposed, but she did know that her and Tim would never be together.

~*~

All the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's

Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa won't you bring me the one I really need -

won't you please bring my baby to me...

~*~

She sighed and went into the kitchen to see what she could find to cook tomorrow. Her mother had volunteered to bring a salad.

'Gee, thanks, Mom,' she thought sarcastically. 'That's gonna save me a ton of work.'

She looked up as the doorbell rang.

"Who could be here at this time on Christmas Eve?" she wondered out loud. "Probably carolers or something."

She was shocked when she opened the door to reveal Tim, not a group of singing people.

~*~

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just want to see my baby

Standing right outside my door

Oh I just want him for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby all I want for Christmas is

You...

~*~

"Hey, Calleigh."

"Tim. What are you doing here?" she asked casually.

"I just stopped by to see how your Christmas Eve was going."

"Oh," she replied, not mentioning that he could have just as easily called, but it wasn't like she minded.

"So?"

"So what?"

"How is it going?"

"Fine," she replied, still wondering why he had really stopped by.

"That's good."

"Yeah," she said, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.

This small talk was getting them nowhere. She was about to invite him in when he took her by surprise once again and leaned in to kiss her. She, of course, kissed him back, only pulling away when her lungs screamed for oxygen.

"What was that for?" she asked breathlessly, her heart pounding in her chest.

He smiled slyly and pointed to the top of the door frame. Mistletoe. She had forgotten she had put it there, continuing a tradition her mom did every year.

"Oh, of course," she said, forcing a smile and trying to hide her disappointment.

"And because I wanted to," he added, lifting her chin so she had to look into his eyes.

He leaned in for another kiss, and she responded even more than the first time, if that was possible.

They finally pulled apart, and he rested his forehead on hers.

"Merry Christmas, Calleigh," he whispered.

All I want for Christmas is you, Baby...
