Baggage Claim

Brooke woke up and noticed how dark it had gotten in her room seeing that only light was from the TV and it was rolling the credits of what she assumed was a movie. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and sat up, still feeling crappy but not as bad as she had felt that morning. Noticing that Sidney was no longer in her bed, she decided to head downstairs to grab something to drink and possibly something to eat while searching for him.

Once at the bottom of the stairs she could hear him moving about in the kitchen and stopped at the doorway to look at him standing over the stove. He had taken a shower and was only standing there in some athletic short with his hair still wet. She smiled and walked over to hug him from behind. “What are you making?” Brooke asked as she wrapped her arms around his torso causing him to jump slightly.

“Hey, you’re awake,” Sidney said, turning the burner off and turning around to face her. “How are you feeling?” He said, resting his hands on either side of her face and kissing her forehead. Brooke smiled, and leaned into him.

“I’m feeling a little bit better, just came down stairs to grab something to drink and possibly something to eat,” She said looked back up at him. Sidney smiled and turned back to the stove where he pulled what he had been making off of the pan and put it onto a plate.

“Here,” He said handing it to her. “I made you a grilled cheese. I remember you would always ask for these when you were sick as a kid so I figured it might make you feel a little better. Go sit in the living room and I’ll come join you in a bit.” Brooke felt her heart melt a little and she kissed his cheek. She didn’t deserve him taking care of her and treating her as well as he was after how she had acted with him in the past 24 hours. She walked into the living room and grabbed the remote before plopping down on the middle of the couch and wrapping a blanket around herself. Not really enjoying anything that was on TV, she tried Netflix and put one of the first movies she found. Brooke ate half of her sandwich and set the plate down on the table before she rolled up into a ball and laid back down.

Sidney walked into the living room with a Gatorade and a water in his hand and set them down on the table. “Here, sit up,” Sidney said motioning for her to let him sit down beside her so she could lay down on him. She obliged and waited for him to get comfortable before laying back down on him.

“You’re being very cuddly today,” Brooke pointed out turning so she was looking up at him with her head in his lap.

“Would you rather me sit on the other couch?” Sidney asked rubbing her side. She shook her head.

“No, I like it,” She stated, turning to look back at the TV. “Thank you for the sandwich, it was good.”

“You’re welcome,” Sidney said absently looking at the TV. He was happy she had eaten something, regardless if she hadn’t finished the entire thing, just to get something in her stomach.

As they both sat there watching the movie, Brooke couldn’t help but let her mind wander to yesterday and the whole Kathy situation. She became restless and sat up causing Sidney to face her. “I just want to say something, so please don’t interrupt until I’m done,” Brooke said taking his hand into her lap. Sidney nodded and rested his head on his propped up elbow. “I don’t know what happened last night, or why she was here but when I came upstairs I was jealous and I felt out of place. And then this morning I had been thinking about it and it had made me mad and upset and then I got a call from my mom which made me even more mad and upset, and I just felt terrible and I’m not used to having someone there for me and not doing stuff myself and…” Brooke realized she was rambling and stopped herself when she looked up into Sidney’s eyes. She took a deep breath and allowed herself to get back to what she wanted to say. “What I’m trying to get at was that I was a complete bitch this morning and I shouldn’t have taken everything out on you and that I hope you forgive me and don’t hate me for it,” Brooke finished and buried her head in her hands.

“Hey, come here,” Sidney said pulling her hands away from her face. “I don’t hate you and of course I forgive you, there really isn’t anything to forgive you for. You were upset and not feeling well and I over stepped my boundaries, I get that.” Sidney kissed Brookes head and pulled her in for a hug. “And the Kathy thing, it was just,” he let out a deep breath and shook his head. Brooke pulled away to look up at him. “She showed up at practice yesterday and wanted to see if we could talk after. She was in town meeting with a photographer before she headed out of the country and wanted to say hi. The reason she was upstairs was because she hadn’t seen the bathroom since it had been completely finished and I stupidly took her up there. I’m sorry if it looked like it was anything else but I swear to you it wasn’t.”

“Sid, it’s fine, I get it. She was a huge part of your life at one point.” Brooke said grabbing his face in her hands. They looked at each other. They had both been scared, both about what the other had been thinking and neither knew what was going to happen. Sidney pulled Brooke onto his lap and she straddled his hips, wrapping her arms around his neck and they both held onto each other like they would never let go. “I love you. I love you so much it hurts.”

“I love you too Brooke,” Sidney said kissing the side of her head.
….
“You better have some fantastic story to tell me,” Kayla said as soon as Brooke got in on Monday morning. Brooke laughed and shook her head.

“If you call laying in bed all weekend getting over a cold a fantastic story than you’ve got something lacking in your life,” Brooke said winking at her.

“You did sound pretty terrible Wednesday when you called. It was lonely in here without you, I actually had to do work,” Kayla said pouting at her.

“Don’t you just hate it when that happens?”

“So did the naked dinner get played out or were the tissues a mood killer?”

“Uhh his ex-girlfriend was there,” Brooke said before taking a sip from her coffee.

“What?” Kayla yelled. Brooke’s eyes went wide and she looked over the counter to see that there was no one sitting in the waiting area and nodded her head.

“I got home and someone was parked in the garage, and when I went up to drop my stuff of in the room he was in there with her,” Kayla’s mouth dropped open,” No it was nothing like that, they were walking out of the room, he had just been showing her the new bathroom.”

“What the hell though, I would have been fuming,’ Kayla said shaking her head.

“I was but I mean what could I do, we aren’t really telling people and I didn’t really want to jump to conclusions even though about a million were running through my head.”

“Is she pretty?”

“Beautiful, she’s a model and there’s not one thing wrong with her to be honest,” Brooke said sort of zooming out.

“Brooke, you just described yourself, so don’t let it bother you,” Kayla said before turning to her computer. Brooke smiled and felt a little better. Kayla was probably one of the best friends that Brooke had ever had and she was happy that she was able to talk to her about everything.

“Are you going to tell me about Dr. Baby or am I going to have to dig it out of you,” Brooke teased pulling a file out of her bag and smiling at Kayla.

“I was going to give you until lunch and then just blurt it all out but since you asked,” She said before giving Brooke the details.
….

Sidney was driving home from practice when his phone started going off. They had a game that night and he had ducked out of practice early to get extra rest for that night. He pressed the answer button on his steering wheel and answered the call. “Hello?”

“Oh, I was expecting you to still be at practice, I was just going to leave you a message,” his sister’s voice said through the speaker. Sidney smiled.

“Rather talk to my mailbox than me huh Tay, thanks,” he said chuckling.

“Sidney, I’ve had to listen to you for almost 18 years now I think talking to your mailbox is a well needed break,” Taylor quipped back. He shook his head. He missed her a lot, and it sucked not being able to talk to her as much as he wanted to.

“But what’s up?”

“Well Christmas is coming up….” Taylor dragged out.

“And?” Sidney continued.

“And you still haven’t told me what you want. And don’t pull the whole ‘I don’t need anything’ card because you’re getting something, you just need to tell me what,” Taylor said matter of factly. Sidney laughed and shook his head.

“What happened to my sweet little baby sister? She’s been replaced by someone mean.”

“Oh shut it Crosby. Now tell me what you want!” Taylor said laughing.

“Why don’t you let me think about it and I’ll get back to you about it, okay?” Sidney asked, trying to buy himself a little extra time to think about what he wanted.

“You’re difficult,” Taylor said letting out a sigh. “How are things with Brooke? I take it you’re both on complete opposite ends of the house.”

“They’re good,” Sidney said, not really knowing what else to say. He didn’t want them to know anything about the two of them yet, and saying very little about the situation seemed to be the best solution.

“I miss her. I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve seen her. Do you know if she’s coming home for Christmas?” Taylor asked. To be honest, they hadn’t really talked about Christmas plans. He was thinking about flying his parents and Taylor out for Christmas but hadn’t talked to them about it either. Brooke hadn’t brought it up yet but he was sure she would be working and wouldn’t want to go home.

“Uhh to be completely honest I have no clue. When do you get home from school?”

“I’m flying in the 19th, and you have a game,” Taylor pointed out.

“I’m going to talk to mom and dad but I think I’m going to fly you guys out here on the Sunday, and maybe you can just come straight here from school and spend a couple of days with Brooke, I’m sure she’d love to see you.” Sidney suggested, smiling thinking about spending the holidays with them.

“Oh my God Sid, that would be awesome,” Taylor screeched into the phone. Sidney pulled into his driveway at this point and put the truck in park.

“Okay, I’ll talk mom about it and get back to you on everything. I’m going to get ready for the game, so I’ll talk to you later. Miss you.”

“Miss you too, good luck tonight,” Taylor said before hanging up the phone. Sidney sat in his truck look at the front of his house and was thinking about everything that was coming up. He knew what the schedule looked like for the games ahead and knew he had an away game right before Christmas. He wanted to be home, and spend it with Brooke but he knew that that obviously couldn’t happened and that he would just have to make it work with what he had.

Sid hopped out of the truck and headed inside to get ready for his nap. He was wondering if Brooke had made any plans to go home, or if she was going to stay in Pittsburgh like he assumed. As he made his way up the stairs he pulled out his phone and sent her a text.

Sidney: Hope you’re having a good day back at work. Wanted to run something by you tonight after the game so stay awake it you can. Love you.

Sidney sent the message and headed into his room. As he crawled into bed he was thinking about what it would be like to spend holidays with Brooke in the future, with her being here when he got home, possibly a little kid running around. He smiled knowing that he wanted a future with her, one that he could actually see himself in.
….
Brooke had gotten home from the hospital a little later than she had wanted to and decided that she would just curl up on the couch and watch the game, rather than head to the arena. She had gotten Sidney’s text earlier that day and was excited, yet nervous to know what he wanted to talk about. As she sat down for the third period, the score was tied 1-1 and the game had been rather back and forth. Brooke had been texting Vero through out the game who had aslo opted to stay home tonight. They had made plans to have dinner while the guys were New York to just have a nice girls night and catch up.

Brooke laid down with one of her patients files that she had been going over that day, looking at his scans and jotting down notes to bring up tomorrow with Dr. Leviey. Brooke started to feel her eyes get heavy and decided to close them for a few minutes. She was still feeling the lasting effects from the cold and her long day had worn down on her. When she opened her eyes, she looked at the TV and noticed that Sports Center was playing and that the game had ended. She sat up and rubbed her eyes before looking at her phone and realizing that she had been asleep for about two hours. She heard the garage door in the kitchen open and the thump of a bag on the floor. “Brooke” Sidney called out as she made her way into the kitchen.

“Right here,” Brooke said as she walked into the kitchen seeing him taking his coat off. Sidney though she looked adorable. She had her glassed on and her hair up in a messy bun that she had obviously been sleeping with. She was wearing one of his old hockey long sleeve shirts from high school and her sleeping shorts. He smiled and her and got a smile in return.

“Did you fall asleep on the couch?” Sidney asked walking over and placing a kiss on her lips. She nodded her head yes and went up on her tippy toes to steal another kiss.

“How was the game?” Brooke asked before walking to the fridge to pull out two water bottles.

“It was good, we won, I don’t know what you saw, but I scored,” Sidney said taking the bottle from here. Brooke smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Awe babe, congrats,” She said before kissing him again. Sidney set his bottle on the counter and wrapped his arms around her waist. Brooke melted into him and ran her tongue around his lower lip. Sidney opened his, mouth allowing for Brooke to gain entrance to his mouth and their tongues to meet. Brooke ran a hand through the back of his head and pulled on the ends of his hair slightly. He growled into her mouth slightly and moved his hands down to cup her butt before lifting her up so he could set her on the counter. He moved his mouth to her neck and kissed her just below her ear where he knew he would get a response from her. She hummed quietly and ran her hands down to his tie trying to loosen it. “Hmm, what did you want to talk to me about?” Brooke asked, letting the tie fall to the ground and started working on the buttons to his shirt. Sidney moved to her jaw, leaving kisses and sucking as he went.

“Christmas, but I think we can talk about that after,” Sidney said moving to the other side of her neck. Brooke giggled and finished unbuttoning his shirt, pushing it off his shoulders and letting it fall to the ground with his tie.

“Mr. Crosby, you’re not one to put things on off so spill what you want to talk about or you’re going to find out what I’m wearing under these shorts,” Brooke whisper in his ear before laying a kiss on the side of his head. Sidney growled and rested his forehead on her shoulder letting out a deep breath.

“You’re not playing fair,” Sidney said before lifting up his head and leaving a kiss on her lips.

“Sometime you need to play a little dirty to win,” Brooke said winking at him, running her hands over his stomach. Sidney picked her up off of the counter and carried her towards the stairs. Brooke wrapped her arms around his neck again to hold on and laughed at how impatient he was being.

“Were you planning on staying her or going home for Christmas?” Sidney asked kissed her neck and carried her up the stairs.

“Uhmm I was planning on staying here, I already told my mom I wasn’t coming home, why?’ Brooke asked and she leaned her head back, giving his more access to her neck. He had made it to the bedroom and went and laid Brooke down on the bed before going to turn the lights on. Brooke laid there and watched him walk back over to her, admiring just how amazing his body looked. Sidney laid down on top of Brooke, kneeling in between her legs.

“Because Taylor called me today and was saying how much she missed you,” Sidney said before bending down and lifting up her shirt, placing kisses on her stomach. Brooke squirmed below him and was excited having him so close to her. Sidney lifted her shirt higher and pulled it over her head exposing her naked breasts. He kissed his way further up her stomach until he reached her right breast and stopped. Brooke looked down at him and pleaded with her eyes for him to keep going. He let out deep breath and looked up at her. “I’m going to ask my parents to come down here for Christmas but I want you to be here too,” Sidney said crawling up so he was eye level with her.

“But,” Brooke said wanting him to finish his sentence.

“But they don’t know,” Sidney said.

“And we want to keep it that way,” Brooke finished his sentence, binging her hands up to either side of his face. “Sid, I’m not ready to share you with the rest of the world. It’s just you and me and I like that. I like that we have something that no one else knows about except for the select few. So we’ll get through Christmas, as friends and go back to normal once they leave. Okay? We’ll tell them when we’re ready.” Brooke said searching his eyes to see if he was feeling the same way. He nodded his head slightly and bent down to lay a kiss on her lips. Brooke wrapped her arms around him, trying to have him as close to her as possible with out having him crush her. He lowered his hand down to her hip and ran it up her side. His hand rested on her breast where he felt her nipple hardening beneath in and her back arch to expose herself more to him.

Sidney broke their kiss and lowered his mouth to her other nipple where he ran his tongue over it slowly causing Brooke to moan. He moved over the other nipple and began the same slow torture, which had her wiggling beneath him. His kissed down her stomach again resting on her hip bone where he bit lightly and then ran his tongue over it right away. He pulled her shorts down revealing and very small black lace thong that covered very little and resulted in a low growl in Sidney’s throat. Brooke looked down at him as he pulled her shorts the rest of the way down her legs. She knew where he was going but was more interested in having him inside her. Sidney looked up at her as he laid another kiss just above the fabric of her panties and caused the breath in Brookes throat to halt. Sidney made his way back up to her mouth which Brooke gladly allowed him access too. Pushed at him to lay down on the bed which he obliged and she crawls on top of him straddling his hips.

Brooke could feel his erection pushing against is dress pants and she wanted to rid him from his pants as fast as she could. She undid his belt and the button of his pants and moved off of him so she could slide his pants along with his underwear off of him in one swift motion. Sidney erection sprung up as soon as she move down his underwear and she smiled see how excited he had been to see her. “Come here,” Sidney said as soon as his pants were on the ground. Brooke straddled him once more and attacked his mouth. Sidney moved his hand down in between her legs and felt how wet she was through her thong. She moaned at the friction of his hand and the fabric and moaned even loader as he moved the fabric aside and inserted a finger inside of her. Sidney knew this would take long and inserted a second finger right away.

“Ohhhhh,” Brooke yelled out, breaking from their kiss and resting her head on the side of his. Sidney removed his fingers from her rolled them so he was once on top of her again. He ripped her underwear off and threw them to the side. He would make sure buy her a new pair because they were one of his favourite things he had ever seen her wear. She giggled at him ripping them off of her and Sidney captured her mouth again. He moved in between her legs which caused her widen hear legs farther apart. Sidney lowered himself into her slowly causing for her to moan out in pleasure. She was so wet and Sidney was already having trouble holding on. He move in and out of her, only picking up his pace slightly, wanting to feel ever movement and reaction he was getting from her.

“Faster,” Brooke said pulling on his back trying to get him to pick up his pace.

“Just hold on Brooke,” Sidney said laying a kiss on her neck just below her ear. She dug her nails into his back and kissed her again. She moaned out again as he picked up his pace, pumping in and out her faster and faster.

“Fuck Sidney, oh my god,” She said, lifting her hip up to meet his. He could feel her tightening around him and knew she was so close.

“Come for me Brooke,” He said in her ear before taking over her mouth his. That tipped her over the edge and she gripped his back and snaked her hand in his hair pulling it as she rode her orgasm out. Sidney let go inside of her and slowed his thrusts as they both came down form their high. Sidney rested his forehead on hers, trying to slow his breathing and pulled out causing for Brooke to whimper. He laid down beside her and pulled her into him before kissing the top of her head. She kissed along his collarbone and up his neck ending at his mouth.

“That was amazing Sid,” Brooke said, giving him another kiss, letting this one last a little longer.

“You’re amazing,” Sidney said, pulling her in closer and inhaling her scent. She smelt like vanilla and spices, which he had found to be his new favourite smell. Brooke sat up and climbed on top of him, resting kissing along his chest and rubbed her hands own his torso until she wrapped her hands around his dick. “Again?” He asked smiling up at her.

“Again,” She said before laying another kiss on his mouth before moving her way down his body trailing kisses as she went.
