So this little fic is for Squabble for being just truly amazing and leaving so many kind reviews on this story. So Squabble, I hope you like it.
Abby passes champagne round to the team as the telly warns there is less than a minute left until the New Year. A few minutes earlier she had Connor set the camera to go off at exactly midnight to capture the celebration of the first moment of 2011.
"Alright everyone gather round. Together quickly!" Abby calls as the countdown reaches forty-five seconds.
They all rush over, quickly but carefully enough as to not spill any of the champagne. Connor wrapped his arms around her waist and from the corn of her eye she sees Becker pulling Sarah closer to him. Jess giggles as Matt steals a quick kiss before the ball dropping.
"Don't forget to smile!" Abby laughs and they all began to count down
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Two."
"ONE!"
She means to turn her attention over to Becker and Sarah because she knows that Becker is planning on finally pushing his relationship with Sarah past hand-holding and dinner as if they were in school, but Connor presses his lips to hers and she only hopes that the series of shots the camera takes will capture the kiss between Becker and Sarah.
The entire party was Becker's idea. He asked Abby for help. He wanted to do something with Sarah because she's big on the whole whatever you do at midnight you will do for the rest of the year bit. He had asked Abby a few days before get the party together. She was actually a bit excited. As much as she would have loved to enjoyed a nice night in with Connor, she had a never actually been to a New Year's party before. She generally just stayed up with Jack and watched the ball drop.
As soon as Connor pulls away, the others are clinking their glasses to her and a collective toast to the New Year is being made with plenty of laughs. Sarah pulls her into a hug, and kisses her check. Becker hugs her as well, whispering a 'thank you' in her ear before Connor grabs her hand and pulls her in for a another kiss.
It's hours before she finally gets to look at the photos and she is pleased to see the progression of Becker not only pulling Sarah into a surprise kiss but him then picking her up and spinning her around before placing her back on the ground and pulling her into a hug.
Abby grins and reminds herself that she will have to email a copy of it to both Becker and Sarah when Connor comes over to her and asks if she is ready for bed. She nods, scoops Rex off the couch, and raises on her tiptoes to place a soft kiss on her fiancé's cheek. "Happy New Year, Conn."
"Happy New Year, Abs," he grins back, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and leading her up to their room.
So there you have it Squabble. You said that you liked both Connor/Abby and Becker/Sarah so I tried to add a bit for both of them. I'm not sure how you feel about Jess and Matt or if you have even seen enough to form an opinion of them, but seeing as tonight was their sort of premier, I figured I'd add them in there. Anyway, I hope you like. Also, I hope all you other readers like it as well. Let me know what you think. And still Beta-searching!
Until next time, all my love,
Spike.
