Five

A/N: this will be more of a Christmas chapter since tomorrow is Christmas!!! Just letting you know!!! And some of the activities mentioned will be things that could only happen in movies!!!

Callie had been on bed rest for months now and was sick of it. Sure, she enjoyed Gibbs taking care of her and not having to do anything strenuous, but now she was getting restless. Especially since the next day was Christmas. And because she was only a dog, Callie couldn't buy her loved ones a gift. Gibbs especially. He had done so much for Callie and cared for her like family, but she had no way to show her appreciation. Until an idea hit her. Callie spent the whole day of Christmas Eve planning. Gibbs, who had been working on the couch, could see she had been, just by looking at her eyes. She had sparkle of excitement and it was like lightbulbs were going off in her little dog head.

************************************

Once Gibbs had gone to bed, Callie waited an extra hour or two, just to make sure he had fallen asleep before she grabbed a wad of money and left to a hardware store that was opened 24 hours and bought this:

Of course, Callie got weird looks, but that doesn't matter. Next, she traveled to another store and bought these:

Once Callie had her gifts, she went back home and stuck them under the tree in a spot Gibbs would notice immediately and then went to upstairs and climbed into Gibbs bed where she snuggled into his side. Ever since Callie had gotten hurt, Gibbs didn't want her out of his sight, so he allowed her a spot in his bed. Although Callie didn't hurt anymore, he let her stay, not wanting to lose her company. He slept better with her furry body curled at his feet.

************************************

The next morning was certainly a surprise for Jethro Gibbs. When he and Callie woke up and went downstairs, he didn't expect to see gifts he and the team didn't buy. Gibbs turned at looked at Callie. "You do this?" He asked and Callie gave her signature proud bark before grabbing the gifts and bringing them to him. The last two, he could see what she was trying to say. That's how Gibbs and Callie worked. It was as if they could read each other's minds. "I appreciate you too, Callie. Your family." He said and gave his rare genuine smile and pet her head just as the doorbell rang. That morning was spent with the rest of the team sharing gifts and talking and laughing. What was even more unexpected was when Dean and Hotch showed up. Dean had gotten Callie this:

Callie had gotten this for Dean two days before:

"Thank you, Dean." Callie said and kissed his cheek. "Oh. Well. Heh." Dean stuttered out making Callie smirk. And with that, they laid down side by side on Callie's bed in the living room and played with their toys, unbeknownst to them that their owners were talking about them.

"Dean and Callie would make very intelligent puppies with a lot of talent." Hotch said to Gibbs. "Yeah, they would. But I want it to be on both Callie and Dean's terms. Let nature do the work." Gibbs replied and Hotch had to agree. Dean was a free spirit and didn't really like to follow people's expectations, neither did Callie. If they forced it upon the two, they'd retaliate. It also didn't help that both Dean and Callie were very stubborn.

"Callie." Dean said after a while. "Yes, Dean?" Callie asked. "I like you. A lot. And that day you got hurt, I've never been as scared for someone as I was. I just wanted to tell let you know, if we become mates, I'll always be by your side, I'll help protect you, and I'll love you forever and tell you every." Dean said and Callie could see the honesty in his eyes and words. "I feel the same way too. I didn't get hurt just taking down an unsub. I was also trying to make sure you didn't get hurt. I wouldn't be able to handle you getting hurt or worse." Callie told Dean. "Will you, Agent Callie, be my mate for life?" Dean asked after a minute. "I'd be honored." Callie replied and they kissed. Or well, licked each other. But you know what I, the author, mean. And that is the start of Callie and Dean's love story.
