I want to write my fanfic set in the time when Abby and Luka exchanged gifts at christmas and my version of how it could have happened.........
"A compass"? Abby looked at Luka puzzled at the meaning behind his gift.
He bit his lip instictively as he was a little nervous that she didn't like his gift.
"I know it's corny but we always seem to find each other".
Abby smiled "It's beautiful ".
Luka leaned over and kissed her on the lips and whispered "Merry Christmas" and sat back on his stool and waited for a reply.
Abby fidgeted and felt herself blushing as she looked into Luka's eyes looking for a sign of what he was thinking.
"Luka" she began then hesitated.
"Abby I want to say something first, sorry, I mean can I say something"?
Luka reached for her hand and placed it in his and kissed it gently as he took a deep breath.
"Abby that night you came to my apartment,the night Sydney died you were so angry and upset with me and I thought you were going to read me the riot act and leave, and In a way I kind of probably deserved it ".
Abby listened intently and wondered where is he going with this conversation.
"Suddenly you were upset and crying and you were so emotional and I hated seeing you like that and I was somehow drawn to you for the first time in a long time and I really felt the need to comfort you and when I kissed you it was like something deep inside of me was awakened"
Luka's eyes glistened and he seemed to be overcome with emotion as he squeezed Abby's hand.
The silence was deafening and Abby leaned in a bit further and waited for him to continue.
"When we made love it was like we connected again and it was beautiful but I felt we crossed a line and I wasn't sure whether you were feeling the same things as me."
Abby smiled and brushed her hair behind her ear and finally looked at Luka and he smiled back.
"Yeah I was angry with you when I got to your apartment that night but then I realised that maybe you were upset as well and you were just dealing with it in your own way and that was to kind of shut down and not talk about it."
Luka nodded and Abby continued.
" Maybe I felt for the first time a little bit of all your pain that you suffered when you own children died - I know that my sadness over Sydney dying can't compare but I felt the need for comfort that night and something drew me to you".
Abby rested her chin on her hand and waited for Luka to say something but all he did was open his mouth and then close it again. They were finally talking and she couldn't let things stop now.
" It was a beautiful night and I really think we did reconnect on some level that night, but then the next day with the plane crash and going back to work and ....." her voice wavered.
"It got weird" Luka interrupted.
" We agreed to stay friends and then I couldn't stop thinking about you ....."
This time Abby interrupted
"You couldn't stop thinking about me?" Abby's eyes flashed as she sat up straight.
"Yeah and then I was made Chief and thought I shouldn't be thinking about you now that I am your boss and then Neela's wedding ..... well you know the rest."
"Yes and now here we are on Christmas Eve and we are together and we are happy arn't we"?
Luka stands up and walks over to Abby and puts his arms around her waist and nuzzles her neck.
"These past few weeks have been great Abby and I want you to know that I want us to work this time and whatever happened in the past doesn't matter now- we have a second chance and I don't want to waste it."
Abby turned her face to meet with Luka's and he kissed her again and she felt her heart thumping as he took her hand and lead her on to the dancefloor. If everyone hadn't guessed they were together already they would certainly know now.
Luka and Abby danced cheek to cheek for a while and tried to ignore the whispers that were circulating around the room.
"Merry Christmas Abby"
"Merry Christmas Luka"
The sounds of Haleh and Morris singing Christmas Carols
in the background made the night perfect and Abby relaxed as Luka pulled her in tighter and she realised that tonight was not the time to tell him what she had to tell him, it could wait til tomorrow or the next day............. to be con'td
