Santa Baby

Author : Chloë Erwin-Seidel

*Author Note : This is a short fanfiction for Sheridan and Luis. Pretending this shitty, current storyline hadn’t happened. What were the writer’s thinking? That’s right – they weren’t.

Luis lay sweetly on the bed. Sheridan gazed at him warmly and felt herself tingle inside. With every breath he took, more tingles were sent out to flow throughout her blood. It made her feel so warm, so happy, so in love. Her hand flowed casually across his skin – so soft and heated. Watching him lay there made emotions dance within her.
Slowly, his eyes opened. As they adjusted to the lightly lit room, he saw the beautiful face in front of him, and his smile formed then. Sheridan returned the smile as she lowered her head to place a soft kiss on his lips. It was when she pulled back and saw the love in her eyes, she knew that this had been the best Christmas present anyone could give her.
This year was the best Christmas Eve she had ever experienced. Wrapped in Luis’s warm embrace, watching the smile on his face – it made her feel incredible. The love lit air invaded her lungs and the sight of Luis next to her filled her heart with hope and love. With every touch Luis gave her, with every kiss – she felt her soul reach out further to Luis’. She knew they had a connection, but this Christmas Eve – she had felt completely connected to him.
His finger began to lightly trace her soft lips and they smiled. She kissed his finger and whispered, “I love you, y’know that?”
Luis nodded as he replaced his finger with his lips. “I know.” As he found her eyes, he said softly, “I love you too.” The smile on her face grew as he pulled a gift from beneath the bed, “Merry Christmas.”
“Wha-?” She asked as she held it in her hands. A pretty, little wrapped gift. “It’s Christmas Eve…”
“You can wait tomorrow if you want – but you could open it now…too.”
“I’ll open it now.” She said in a high voice, which made her sound like a five-year-old.
“All right.” He paused, “I hope you like it…”
She lightly tugged at the ends of the wrapping paper and it gave in easily. She found a velvet black box and held it in her palm. Luis skillfully assisted her with opening the box. Her eyes grew and Luis grinned. “Like it?”
“It’s gorgeous!” She said happily. She held up a tiny little locket up in the air. It was a classic, heart shaped locket with her and Luis’s initials carved on one side.
“Open it – “ He watched for a reaction.
She nodded as she opened it. On the left side was a picture of their Christmas tree, and on the other was a tiny little picture of the two of them. “I had the picture reduced at the photo place just for it!” the excitement was evident in his voice.
“It’s so sweet – I love it!” She gave him a hug and kissed his neck quickly. “Thank you so much, Luis!”
“That’s good.”
“It’s the best Christmas gift I’ve ever received.” She said sincerely as she held it next to her heart.
“You deserve the best.” He said quietly as he leaned forward to kiss her on the forehead.
“Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve you…”
“Shhh…” He grinned, “Like I said, you deserve the best!”
“You are the best.” She stated, “And just so modest, too.”
“Sarcasm is not a virtue.” He chuckled as he stood up.
“No, it’s not.” She confessed as she stood up along with him.
“What are you doing Sheridan?”
“I was following you.” She said with confusion forming on her face.
“Sit back down – I’ll be right back.” Sheridan sat down and covered herself back up into the blankets. Luis left and she studied the room carefully. Nothing seemed unusual – what was Luis doing?

Sheridan’s eyes widened as she saw Luis standing there – dressed like Santa. “Oh my God…” Sheridan loss all her words as she watched Luis dressed like Santa make his way over to her. he sat next to her on the bed.
“What on – what are you doing?” Her puzzled expression turned into a smile now.
“Sit in my lap.” Luis said in a Santa like voice.
“Okay…” She followed her directions and studied Luis carefully.
“What would you like for Christmas?” He asked as he put his big brown bag next to him.
“I have everything I could possibly want – right here.” She grinned as she put an arm around Luis’s neck.
“Well – I brought you something else.”
“Luis…” She giggled as she looked at his beard, “You gave me a gift already!”
“I’m not Luis – I’m Santa Claus – you may call me Kris.”
“Luis – Kris…I don’t need anything else.”
“Sure you do – and I have it right here in this bag.”
“You’re crazy…” She shook her head as Luis began to fumble around in his bag.
“Luis – what are you doing…” That’s when she saw it. First came a little tail – then a back paw – then…then the most adorable puppy she had ever seen. Luis placed the yellow little dawg in her arms.
“Oh, Luis…” Her face was wrinkled in an “Oh too cute” face. “It –“ She lifted the puppy up a little and looked beneath it, “He’s so cute!”
“Merry Christmas!” He ho-ho-hoed and stood up. “Like him?”
“he’s so cute…what’s his name?”
“Up to you.” He paused, “I got him because – well for a few reasons, actually. One being that when he grows up, he’ll be able to protect you when and if I’m not home.”
“Thank you Luis!”
“I was walking down my street…and my neighbor, Mr. Evans had this sign up. ‘Puppies’. I went there – saw him, loved him…he’s a pure breed. He has a good hip history and his mother and father are very good looking.” He smiled as he finished, “But not half as good looking as his new mommy.”
“Thanks.” She nuzzled the pup close to her and laughed, “I don’t know what to name him!”
“Well…he needs a name.” Luis pushed.
“Santa?” She shook her head in rejection of the name. Her face lit up – she knew what to name the pup. “Let’s name him…Amour.”
“What?”
“My French is getting weak – Amour.”
“My French sucks – that means love, right?”
“yes. So…Amour – he’s our love.”
“What a perfect little name.”
She nodded in agreement and looked down at the puppy that was now sleeping in her arms. She lay him next to her on the bed and pet his head softly. She thought as she glanced out of the window. He’d been sweet tonight – should she? She had an idea – but could she truly go through with it? She’d feel so silly – but…she owed him some form of entertainment! She was going to do it. When Luis got back – he’d have to wait…because she was going to do something completely into the Christmas Spirit – as Luis had.

Luis walked in and saw Sheridan watching Amour sleep. He came to her and kissed her tenderly on the lips. “Luis…” She whispered against his pursed lips, “I have something for you too.”
“Really?”
“well not your gift – you have to wait for the morning for that. I have a surprise…”
“oh?” he asked as his eyebrows perked. His forehead wrinkled as he studied her.
“Stay here – I’ll be right back.” Luis did as he was told as he quietly pet the puppy next to him. “I wonder what she’s doing!?”

Five minutes had passed. As he glanced at the clock – that’s when he heard it. Bump-ba-bump-ba-bump-ba da da da…and that’s when he saw it – her, rather. She was wearing a very sexy red dress and a Santa hat on her head as she entered. He chuckled in amusement as he sat back and watched.
She had a mic in her right hand and she began to sing into it. [it was connected to the stereo that suddenly appeared there, okay?]

Santa baby
Just slip a sable under the tree, for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Her voice was low and sexy as she sang it. He felt himself start to get warm and extremely turned on.

Santa baby
A 54 convertible too, light blue
Been an angel all year
Santa Baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

The little dance she did with it was enough to drive any man wild. Wow – was this a Christmas he was never going to forget!

Think of all the fun I’ve missed
Think of all the fellows that I haven’t kissed
Next year, could be just as good
If you check off my Christmas list…

She slowly made her way over to him and winked his way.

Santa honey
One little thing I really do need
The deed, to a platinum mine
Santa honey, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Luis was amazed. He knew Sheridan was the sexiest woman he’d ever met – but this – this made her even sexier.

Santa baby
forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don’t mean on the phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

He applauded as he watched her shut off the stereo and put down the mic. “Very nice Sheridan.”
”Like it?” She asked as she sat on his lap, “Santa?”
“Oh yeah…” She kissed him deeply and lovingly. “Oh, I like this too…”
“Uh huh…” She continued to kiss him more intensely, “Well – you’re going to like this more…” She lightly pushed him down on the bed.
“this is what I call a merry Christmas!” They laughed as they celebrated the festive season – their way.

C’est tout!
