Hey Everyone! Here's my Hawkes/OC chappy :) I hope you like it!
Here's little background on Addison. She's an ER doc and met Hawkes on a case that landed him in the hospital. They hit it off right away and when Hawkes landed himself in the hospital again he asked her out. They've been dating for six months.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for Addison.
Let It Snow! –Michael Buble
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Addison stomped snow off of her boots as she entered Sheldon's apartment. Pulling off her coat and hat she brushed snow out of her hair before hanging both on the coat rack. "Shel I'm here! Ugh it's freezing out! I can't believe how much snow there is!"
His voice sounded faintly. "Hey Babe! I'm in the kitchen finishing dinner. How was work?"
She groaned audibly at his question and followed his voice. "It was a mad house. We were crazy busy from all the snow we got last night and today. It really caused problems. Several car accidents, couple people slipping on ice and hurting themselves, you know, the usual. At least no one was seriously injured, just making us real busy." Plopping down on a bar stool across the counter from him, she watched as he put the finishing touches on the soup he was making for dinner.
Sheldon grabbed two glasses out of the cabinet and poured them both some eggnog, handing her a glass.
Closing her eyes as she sipped, she groaned in bliss. "Mmm yum, you make the best homemade eggnog Shel." Leaning forward she peeked into the pot he was stirring. " Dinner smells awesome. I'm starving."
He leaned over the counter to give her a quick kiss. "Soup is always good on a cold snowy day like today. It's the perfect day to stay inside and not go anywhere. We can curl up by the fire after we eat and watch Christmas movies on TV."
She grinned at him. "Staying in on a cold snowy day sounds perfect…especially if I'm with you." Grabbing him by the shirtfront she pulled him into a passionate kiss.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Awhile later Addi was curled up with Sheldon on the couch, a big bowl of popcorn on her lap, watching It's a Wonderful Life. Their soup bowls were stacked on the coffee table, empty eggnog glasses beside them. The fire was popping cheerfully in the fireplace, the lights turned down low. Addi could see it was still snowing outside, big fluffy flakes floating past the window, adding quickly to the think blanket already on the ground.
Sighing she sat up. "I should get going Shel. It's really starting to snow and I'll never make it back to my place if I wait much longer." She'd stayed late at his place plenty of times, but hadn't stayed over. They'd been together six months and still hadn't slept together. Addi wasn't the type of woman to start sleeping with a guy until she was sure it was more than just sex. Sheldon was the perfect gentleman through, respecting her wishes and not pressuring to do anything she didn't want to.
Sheldon sat up with her. "Why don't you just stay here with me tonight? We're gonna spend all day together tomorrow anyway. You don't need to drive home in this weather." He tugged on her hand, pulling her down onto his lap. "There's a perfectly good bed in my room for you to sleep in. I'll take the couch."
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
"C'mon Addi, you don't really want to go out there in the cold when it's nice and warm here with me. Do you?" He pulled her hair back and nuzzled her neck playfully.
Addi laughed as his scruff tickled her neck, but her head drop back on his shoulder to give him better access. "That tickles Shel."
He moved up her neck to the line of her jaw, then to her ear. "Stay Addi. Please."
She shifted on his legs until she was facing him, straddling his legs. His hands rested on her thighs, his head falling back against the couch so he could see her better. "Okay. Yes, I'll stay. There's nowhere else I'd rather be on Christmas Eve than here with you."
Slowly she leaned down to kiss him. Their lips met softly at first before quickly deepening. Sheldon slid his tongue out to run it gently across her lips. She gasped at the touch, opening her mouth and letting him tangle their tongues together.
A groan escaped her as warmth spread throughout her body, sending her body heat soaring. One hand slipped up his neck, gripping the back of his head, the other wrapping around his shoulder to dig her nails lightly into his back.
Suddenly Sheldon flipped them over, his warm body hovering over hers, propping himself up on his elbows. He dipped his head down to place gentle kisses along her collarbone. Her back arched as his lips moved across her skin, rolling her body up into his.
"Sheldon…" her voice came out in a breathy whisper. "Please…"
Grabbing the back of his neck she pulled him down to seal their lips in a fiery kiss, tumbling them together, two shadows dancing on the wall in the flickering firelight.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-byeing,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Addi sleepily opened her eyes, her gaze resting on Sheldon's chest. Her hand was resting there, her head on his shoulder, his arm wrapped around her shoulder. She lay cushioned between his body and the back of the couch, a blanket coving them. It was early now, but still dark outside. The fire had died down almost to embers, lighting the room with a soft glow. It sparked and hissed, sending small showers of sparks up every so often.
Resting her head on his chest she glanced up at Sheldon's face, her eyes tracing his features as he slept. Her feelings for him had grown quickly over the course of the time they'd been dating. More quickly than she'd ever expected. He was the most caring, wonderful man she'd ever met, always taking care of her, stopping by the hospital to drop food off for her when he knew she hadn't eaten.
Running her hand gently over his face, she traced his features, moving her fingers down his nose, over his cheekbone, around the shell of his ear. Her heart swelled with love for him as she watched him sleep. It hadn't taken much for her to fall for him. He made it so easy to love him. Stirring slightly at her touch, his eyelids fluttering as he rose slowly out of sleep.
Sheldon opened his eyes to see Addi's head on his chest, her eyes open and staring at him. He smiled sleepily at her, raising a hand to brush her hair behind her ear. "Hey there Beautiful. How are you?" he asked softly.
She smiled sleepily. "I'm good, how about you?"
"I'm laying here, on Christmas after have made love, with the most beautiful woman in the world in my arms. I'm just fine." He grinned at her.
She snuggled down into his arms, sighing in contentment. His hand lazily trailed up and down her back running his fingers through her hair as she stared mesmerized into the fire. The time was right; it was time to tell him, lying in each other's arms, basking in the afterglow of lovemaking. "I love you Sheldon."
His hand stilled on her hair a moment before he shifted, pulling her on top of him so he could look up into her face. Beautiful brown eyes sparkled as he grinned at her. "I love you too Addi. I think I've love you since that first time I woke up in the hospital to you asking me a million questions. I've wanted to tell you, but I was afraid I'd scare you off and I didn't want to push."
"I fell for you so fast Shel. I kept telling myself that it wasn't love, that you can't fall in love this quickly. But I do Sheldon. I love you with all of my heart." She pressed her lips to his softly.
He smiled and kissed her again. "I love you too Addi." She crossed her arms on his chest, resting her head on her arms. Sheldon wrapped his arms around her back, keeping her there on top of him.
Turning his head to the side, Sheldon glanced out the window and could see snow was still falling steadily. He laughed lightly. "Well I guess we won't be going anywhere for awhile. Look at all that snow."
Addi lifted her head to look too. "I don't mind just staying right here with you. Let it snow. We don't have to be anywhere till dinnertime." She yawned sleepily.
With that she settled back down in his arms, both drifting back to sleep in the soft glow of the fire, wrapped together in the warmth of their love. Outside the window, the snow continued to fall in big fluffy flakes, turning the world into a winter wonderland.
