A/N: Another short, drabble-style one.


6. Angel

Becker was a religious man.

He'd grown up in a Christian family, and had taken that with him everywhere he went. He prayed three times a day - once when he woke up, the second at dinner, and again when he went to bed at night. He even went to church on Sunday mornings, when he wasn't called in on an emergency.

He'd always believed in angels, and the Christmas miracle.

But he'd never quite pictured them in short skirts and high heels.

She was. Jessica Parker was his guardian angel in high heels and a short skirt. She saved him on a near-daily basis, from any predators, or dangerous antics. She cheered him up when his thoughts would linger in places where they shouldn't. She made him enjoy himself - enjoy life, at a time when he thought he'd never do so again.

Becker didn't think he'd ever fall in love with an angel.

But in the end, it was hard not to.
