Shawn's POV: (a/n honestly this POV is so fun WOWOWO and this request was from Febuary112003 )
"The heat went out," In the midst of staring out our home's window, watching the snow blanket the street and yard, I feel Gabby's warm arms wrap around my waist, and her head press into my back, her voice sending vibrations,causing me to sigh with content, "I don't want us driving in this so I cancelled our reservations, and our thickest blanket is in the wash."
I let out a laugh, finding it amusing that a night can be planned so carefully but something as gentle as snow can backfire everything completely.
"Coldest day of the year too? Damn what a romantic evening," with a grin I unwrap her arms and turn around, interlocking her fingers with mine as we stand pressed together, seeking out warmth in the house that is slowly losing heat.
"Babe if it makes you feel any better you look amazing," looking up she released her hand from mine and starts to play with my tie, "there wouldn't be a person in that restaurant that wouldn't think that you were the most handsome man."
My grin growing into a smile, and heat rushing to my cheeks I look at her lovingly, feeling disappointed she couldn't wear the outfit that makes her look so good out to dinner.
"Thank you darling, you look stunning as well," and with that I kiss her forehead, and begin to head to the basement knowing that the heat can't stay off for long before we both start freezing.
"This is insane," Gabby says, following me down the stairs to find the heater, "only a couple days until Christmas and we might not have heat for everyone coming over."
The thought of everyone with shivering blue lips opening presents on Christmas Day makes me let out a giggle, me already knowing I wouldn't let that happen.
"I'll have you stay at a hotel if we don't get this fixed by tomorrow, you're not going to freeze." Finally arriving at the problem the realization that I'm not a handy man finally kicks in and I'm stuck with what to do.
Sighing I run my hand through my hair, the air in the basement slowly turning to the temperature it is outside.
"Shawn, how bout I set up the mini heater in our room, I'll collet all the blankets, and we can watch frosty the snow man while we cuddle yeah?" I feel her hands rest lovingly on my shoulders, and with a squeeze she kisses my cheek and starts heading upstairs.
"But no showers!" I call after her with an admiring smile, wondering how she can turn something so disastrous into something sweet, "or I'll wake up to an icicle tomorrow."
So that night, with the street lights out our bedroom window illuminating the falling snow, and frosty the snowman playing softly in the back, with cups of hot cocoa resting on our night stand, I held her a little closer than I do on most nights, and I whispered sweet nothings that her tired state might not have let her hear, and I fell deeper in love with the woman I cherish.
