What Happened After Season 3 but Before Season 4 (CD-Nate fan fic)

[NancysPartnerInCrime]

*With CD lying helplessly at Liz's apartment, Nate's sitting anxiously at the restaurant awaiting CD's arrival. Everything that moves and catches the corner of his eye makes him turn his head, in hopes that it might be CD. But little does he know right now, CD isn't coming she's clinging to life on the other side of town.*

Waiter: Excuse me Sir., would you like me to refill your water.
(Nate's daydreaming)
Waiter: Sir.? Excuse me.
Nate: Hmm? Oh I'm sorry. Umm no thanks.
Waiter: If you don't mind my saying, I can promise you if she's at all able to get here, she'll be here. So don't worry.
Nate sports a half smile.
Nate: Thanks man. he says surprised the Waiter knew he was thinking about a woman.

***************MEANWHILE***************

*With CD draped over the chair, and a bullet hole in her chest, she slowly wakes up enough to move around and look for her cell phone. She sees it just out of her reach. As she slowly extends her arm she's centimeters away from being able to grab it. After trying for several minutes, she manages to slide it toward her using her index finger. Once she gets it she instictively hits the memory 1 button, which of course is Nate's cell. Nate's phone rings, and he looks at the Caller ID, when he notices it's CD's cell his heart drops. He has a bad feeling and knows it can't be good.*

Nate: Hello! CD!
CD mumbles something that's hard to understand from the bullet hitting her lung, and causing her to gargle.
CD: Nate. I've been shot. She barely gets out.
Nate: CD! Oh my God! Baby, where are you!!
CD: I'm...I'm at......

*That was all she could get out, before passing out from the pain. That was all Nate need to hear. He knew where she was. As he bolted out of the restaurant his heart was going a mile a minute, as he dialed 911 on his cell.*

Nate: This is Nate Basso of the San Francisco Police Department. Officer down! I need an ambulance to 48 Guild St. HURRY! he says as he slams his phone shut.

With Nate speeding off in his car a million things are going through his head.

Nate: It's my fault. I pushed her into a relationship with me. She didn't want to. She was afraid people at work would find out, and now I caused this.

*He knew deep down it wasn't his fault, but his instict reaction, was to blame himself. As he raced to Liz's apartment he only hoped that CD was still alive. He wouldn't be able to live, if she wasn't. She didn't even realize. She was his whole life. The faster he drove, the more his heart raced knowing he'd soon be with CD and he could only hope for the best. When he got to the apartment, he raced up to the front door and as he opened it he could feel his legs start shaking. He ran in to where CD was, and fell to his knees. He put his ear to her chest. Her heart was still beating. Faint, but beating. And while Nate was tending to CD, Liz started to move and look for her gun. She found it over by the couch. Just out of sight of Nate, she crawled up to the gun and attempted to finish off CD. As involved as Nate was dealing with CD, he could hear the click of a gun being cocked, and instictively pulled out his service auto, and emptied it into Liz. Once he had done that, he threw down his gun and put his attention back on CD. He put his right arm under her head, and with the other hand he caressed her face. And he hated that all he could do was hold her until the ambulance got there. And hope she would wake up. He knew with the injury she had suffered and being unconcious, that at anytime her heart could stop beating. So not knowing whether or not it would work, he slowly starting rubbing her chest just below her neck where her heart is. His thinking was because her heart was beating so slow, if he could massage it maybe the beating would pick up. And due to his experience from being a cop, he knew that because the gun shot was below her breasts, that massaging her chest above her breasts, wouldn't injure her more then the gun shot already had. So ever so slowly, the more he massages her, the more her heart starts to slowly beat a little faster. Either due to his massaging, or just the fact that it was Nate doing it, but whatever it was it was enough. Immediately following that, her eyes open up. She doesn't really focus on anything, until she sees Nate kneeling on her left, and his eyes swell with tears.*

Nate: OMG CD! Hun, I've called the ambulance. It should be here any second.
CD: Nate.....how....how did you......
Nate: Sweetie. Don't talk, please. Just lay there. I'm here now. I knew you were here, because I know you. And I know you wanted to check on Liz. But all that doesn't matter anymore. She's dead. Just rest.
CD: Ohh Nate. Hold me.....pl...please.
Nate: Sweetie, I am.
CD: Tighter. I'm scared, I don't ever want to leave you.
Nate: I can't hold you too much tighter, I don't wanna hurt you.
CD: You won't. Please, Nate. I want to remember this moment, in case it's my last.
Nate: CD! Stop that! You know I hate that talk!
CD: I'm just being realistic.
Nate: No, you're being foolish! Now stop it.
CD: You never know, Nate. I've just been shot. It's a possibility I won't make it.
Nate: What do you like seeing me cry, or what? he says as a tear falls down his left cheek.
CD: Yes I do. It's sexy. with that Nate lets out a half smile right as the EMT's come in.
Nate: See?! They're here. Now stop all this crazy talk.

CD just serenders and stares at Nate. As they load CD into the ambulance, Nate attempts to climb in, one of the EMT's stops him.

EMT: Sorry but there's no room for you.
After hearing that CD picks her head up.
Nate: Come on!
EMT: Sorry only immediate family members or spouses allowed. Are you two married?
While Nate doesn't know what to say, CD instantly spits out yes, he's my husband. And Nate is left with a look of shock and surprise on his face.
EMT: OK, ok. I guess that's fine. Hurry up. Get in.
Without having to be told twice, Nate climbs in and sits by CD's side. As the EMT's are distracted with medical equipment, Nate leans in to CD.
Nate: Husband...huh?
CD: You wanted to get in the ambulance didn't you?
Nate: You could've said I was your brother.
CD: Yeah I could've. But would you rather be my brother...or my husband? she asks seductively.
Nate: Hmm. Good point.
They both laugh a little.
Nate: So how are you feeling?
CD: Like I've been shot. she says with a smirk.
Nate: Mmhmm. Typical CD. Cynical.
CD: It's the only way to be, Nate.

*Nate just nods and takes a big breath, as he's pretty sure now that CD will make it she's starting to talk more and more and he's just glad she's alive and that he's with her. While Nate's thanking his lucky stars for CD being alive, CD stares at him and tries to figure out how to tell him what she needs to tell him. After a few moments, she gives it her best shot.
CD: More then I could put in words. she says to Nate, and Nate is still looking off in to space as he holds her hand.
CD: Nate? Did you hear me?
Nate: Hmm? Oh yeah sure.
CD laughs to herself.
CD: Ok then what did I say?
Nate: What? he asks now with his full attention on her.
CD: I said.....if you heard me......what did I say?
Nate: I'm sorry. I didn't hear you, CD. I was just thinking how lucky I am to be with you right now. What did you say, I'm sorry.
CD: You're so sweet, Nate. And I said, more then I could put into words.
Nate just has a lost look on his face.
CD: Think about it, Nate.
After a few seconds, Nate finally gets it and sports a big grin.
Nate: I love you too, CD. More then I could put into words.
CD cries happy tears when she knows Nate figured out what she was talking about.
CD: So what are you waiting for? Kiss m....

*But before she can get it all out Nate has already done what she has started to ask for, and lays the biggest kiss on her she's ever had in her whole life. First a full on closed-mouthed kiss, and then as CD slowly opens her mouth, Nate sucks on her bottom lip for a second before sucking on her top lip and then he slips his tounge in and licks the roof of her mouth before once again giving her a full pressured closed-mouth kiss....then slight pecks on her lips as CD can feel her heart sinking to the bottom of her feet then flying back up to her chest. She now knows Nate is the one.*

***************BACK AT THE HOSPITAL***************

*CD wakes up in an unfamiliar hospital bed, and looks around for a split second having forgotten why she's in there in the first place. The only thing she thinks to do, is hit the call button repeatedly waiting for someone to come in.*

Nurse: Mrs. Basso, you're awake! What's wrong? Are you ok? CD says silently to herself in a questioning tone. Mrs. Basso? OMG Mrs. Basso! then everything that's happened comes flooding back.
Nurse: Excuse me?
CD: Oh nothing. Umm do you know where my partne....umm I mean my husband Nate Basso is?
Nurse: Yes, actually. he just went to get a coffee. He asked me to page him as soon as you woke up.
CD: Would you mind? I would just love to see my...husband. it still sounded funny to her but a good funny.
Nurse: No problem I'll be right back. as the nurse leaves to page Nate, she leaves CD's door open, and CD can see out into the hospital corridor.
Nurse: (on the intercom) Nate Basso to the Nurse's desk please. Nate Basso to the Nurse's desk.

*No sooner she says that, CD can see Nate running as if his life depended on it up to the nurse's station. CD can't help but laugh when she sees Nate has the lid half on and half off his coffee, and he's spilling drops everywhere, as he runs up to the Nurse's station.*

Nurse: Mr. Basso, Mr. Basso. Calm down! Your wife is awake. She's waiting for you right in there. she says as she points to CD's room. Nate rushes in with the coffee.

CD: (laughing) Nate sweetie, put the coffee down and relax. I'm fine!
Nate does as he's told, and takes a seat by CD.
CD: Here. Wipe that coffee off your hands, silly.
Nate laughs and cleans up.
CD: So, do I still have a bullet in me?
Nate: Nope. No, uhh (he tries to form words as he now realizes how hot the coffee was) no you had a collapsed lung they took the bullet out, and you need to stay in the hospital for a few days. But you will be fine.
CD: Ok. What about Liz?
Nate: I killed her.
CD: What?!
Nate: Yup. After you went there, shot her, and called me, I got there and as I was keeping an eye on you she picked up her gun and was going to shoot you till I emptied my clip in her.
CD: OMG Nate. You crazy fool! She could have killed you!
Nate: No, she was just aiming for you and I wasn't about to let her finish you off. And what were you doing there in the first place?!
CD: Nate you know me, and you know I'm not gonna let Liz get off scott free.....
Nate: CD, that's a horrible excuse. You know Kate wouldn't have let that happen. You just wanted to risk your life, and make me a nervous basket case!
CD: No actually. I was just doing my job. Being a cop.
Nate: Well next time, would you mind doing it a little bit safer. You can never do that to me again. I was terrified that I'd never see you again.
CD: Well you got me now.
Nate: I know, and I want to keep it that way.
CD thinks for a second, then asks Nate a favor.
CD: Nate, umm would you mind shutting the door for me.
Nate: Why?
CD: Can you just do it? she asks.
Nate: Ok sure. he says suspiciously.
CD: And lock it.
Nate: CD? What are you up to?
CD: You trust me right?
Nate: Of course. *sighs* Alright.
Nate shuts the door and locks it. Luckily the nurses are watching late night TV, and don't have a clue as to what Nate's done.
Nate: Ok. Now what?
CD pauses then tells him what to do next.
CD: Now close the blinds. she says while licking her top lip.
Nate: CD....come on now what's all this about?
CD: Nate. Do it.
Nate: Ok then. he shuts the blinds then goes back and sits by CD taking a sip of coffee and waits for an explination.
CD: How strong are you?
Nate: Pretty strong, I think. he says taking another big sip of coffee trying to figure all this out.
CD: I agree. Are you strong enough to hold yourself on top of me without putting any pressure on my chest?
Nate sends the coffee he had been drinking, flying out through his nose, and CD laughs uncontrollably at him trying not to attract nurses' attention.
Nate: CD, ARE YOU CRAZY?! he yells trying to gather himself.
CD: Shhhhhh. You don't what us to get caught do you?! And yes I'm crazy. Wild and crazy just for you. But I'm serious Nate. Could you stay on top of me without putting any pressure on my chest.
Nate: Yes. Please tell me you don't want me to...
CD: Mmhmm. I do.
Nate: CD?! Now? he asks excitied and confused at the same time.
CD: Nate, I'm strung out on the strongest drugs in this building I don't feel a thing. And I want you, Nate. I want you now. Besides, I like the risk factor.
Nate: Ya know, I've never seen this side of you as a partner, and honestly I like it. But I don't think I can do what you ask. I couldn't live with the thought of hurting you.
CD: Nate, my love, you won't. I'm telling you I don't feel any pain. And as long as there's not alot of pressure on my chest, I don't think I'll feel the pain when the drugs wear off either.
Nate: CD, if you're sure.
CD: Nate, I've never been so sure of anything in my life. I'm fine. Now please come make love to me.
Nate: Ok. he says.

*Being ever so careful, he goes to the foot of her bed and climbs on top of her. Her eyes are so seducing it's hard for him to control himself, but he knows how sore she is, so he behaves. He sits on top of her, with one leg on either side of her hips, and he leans over her and kisses her neck and nibbles her earlobe which sends goosebumps right through her, from her head to her toes. She arches her back at finally having the chance to do this with the man of her dreams. *

CD: (whispering) Nate...
Nate: Yes. he says as he continues kissing and nibbling.
CD: I can feel you. I can feel your hard dick on my soft leg.
Nate: OMG CD, you talk dirty. Girls usually don't do that. It's hot. Your hot. he says as he french kisses her.
CD: So are you. Strip for me. Stand up and strip for me. I wanna see how hard you are.
Nate: Whatever you want baby. he gets off CD, and starts to strip naked in the middle of her hospital room. She stares at him as he does it, and she gets more and more turned on. Once he's naked, she calls him over.
CD: Now climb on me, baby. Make love to me.

*As Nate does so, he pulls down the blanket over CD's legs and strips off her pants. So now she's nude from the waist down, and Nate is totally naked. And both of them are as turned on as they've ever been. So with Nate on top of her in everyway it counts, he lowers the most important part of him into her and she jolts from side to side at the pure pleasure of having him in her. The moment she never thought she'd see, has come. And she's never been happier. Nate leans over and has his turn of whispering something in her ear.*


Nate: CD, I love you. he says crying tears of joy that fall on her cheek.
CD: I love you too baby, so much. and with him stil inside of her he asks her the question he's wanted to since the second he first met her.
Nate: CD. CD I love you. Will you please marry me??? CD looks him in the eyes and they both cry while making love to each other as she utters Yes I will marry you, as they both climax at the same time. Then there's a knock at the door.

Nurse: Excuse me. I hate to bother you guys, but it's time for Mrs. Basso's dinner. May I come in.
Nate: Uhh sure sure. Just one second. He manages to say as he pulls out of her, and slides CD's pants up. Luckily they had just enough time to reach there peak before they were disturbed. He jumps off the bed and gets dressed. Then opens the door.
Nate: I'm sorry nurse. We just had to umm...wel..
CD: I was taking a nap, and he didn't want anything to disturbed my sleep. So he shut and locked the door, and shut the drapes. Then he just kept me company.
Nate: Right right that's what happened. Nate says acting sure of himself.
Nurse: I see well, Mrs. Basso really looks "sleepy", but just so you know there's no "sleeping" recommeded until the first few weeks after surgery.
The way the nurse said it, CD knew that she knew exactly what her and Nate had been doing.
CD: Well thank you for that. But I was very carefull when I was "sleeping." she says while making a funny face.
Nurse: Well then, I wish you two the best. Oh and Mr. Basso...your ties crooked. she says as she turns around to get CD's dinner.
Nate: CD, we got lucky. Let's wait till you get out of the hospital to do that again.
CD: Ok no problem. That was a close call. I just needed you so bad, and now that I've had you it was ten times better then I thought it would be.
Nate: Thanks alot!
CD: No that's a compliment, trust me.
Nate: Well in that case. Thanks, and I love you.
CD: I love you too.

*After CD ate her dinner, she wanted Nate to climb on the bed next to her. She likes to cuddle after they make love, but they almost got caught and didn't have the chance before. And so now they lay there side by side never having been happier.*

***************3 Months Later at Nate's Apartment***************

*The engaged couple are at Nate's house relaxing and happy to be getting married, but for the past week or so CD had been acting wierd, and Nate didn't know why. With CD now sitting on the couch staring out the window, Nate wouldn't be able to live without figuring out what was on CD's mind.*

Nate: CD, you've been like this for awhile now. I thought being with me makes you happy? he asks sitting right beside her.
CD: Nate, it does so much. You'd never know how happy it makes me. But I've got to tell you something. And I'm glad you came to me because I never would have known how to come to you and word it to you. I have to tell you this. Nothing lasts forever. And we can never be happy together. I don't know how else to tell you this, except to just tell you. It will never work. Sure we'll get married, and be happy and that's awesome. But what I mean by we can never be happy together, is that you're a cop. And I'm a cop. And two cops together, or even one cop and one who isn't, it won't work. It won't work because one of us is gonna end up getting hurt. Seriously hurt. And it's only a matter of time before it's fatal. And I don't think either one of us wants to put the other through that pain.
Nate: CD, hun, stop. Of course not. But just because we can get hurt alot from our jobs doesn't mean we're gonna die from it! Not everyone dies from being a cop! You can't go by that. It's part of our job. We were fine as partners, and we'll be fine as lovers.
CD: No Nate you don't understand. My getting shot, I saw how it hurt you. I can't do that to you again.
Nate: No, you're not doing this! You're not leaving me! Things like that bring us closer together, not further apart.
CD: No, Nate, no. I'll never stop loving you. Ever. I'll never stop needing you and I'll never get over you. I love you. But us is over. she says as she heads for the door.
Nate: Damn it CD, wait!! You can't leave like this. Not with us feeling this strongly to each other. I've never seen a love like ours ever before. I LOVE YOU, AND YOU LOVE ME HOW CAN YOU DO THIS?! he asks.
CD: Nate, you know I'm right. Even if you can't admit it. Even if you're bitter about it. she says turning towards Nate and away from the door.
Nate: I'll never agree with you no matter what you think. But PROMISE me.... you'll never forget me.
CD: NEVER. But you need to promise me you'll love again.
Nate: I will love again. he says with his fingers crossed behind his back.
CD: And uncross your fingers. she says and that just makes him laugh, that she knew him that well.
CD: You don't think so now but you will love again trust me.
Nate: Well this is one time I can't trust you. But can I give you a good bye kiss.
CD: Yes. But it's a kiss. I never say goodbye.

*No sooner she says that, Nate attacks her with a fury of kisses with his hands running through her hair. It goes on for about 10 minutes straight with no break. When they do break, you can see tears running down both Nate's cheeks, and it just tears CD up from the inside out. She couldn't take it. But she had to. So she turns to leave.*

CD: Nate. I love you. I'm mailing Captain my letter of Resignation tommoroww. I can't carry on this relationship with you, and I can't keep working there. It just scared me too much. I'm sorry, I love you, and I'll miss you. She says giving him one long final kiss, then leaves his apartment, and goes to hers. And Nate is just left there crying like a baby on the couch in his apartment.



THE END And you all know what happens after that. CRAPPY SEASON 4. So whatcha think?

[Jo_Luvs_Ketchup]

OMG Angie!!! That was sooo good but soooooooo sad! I of course know how it continues but you know, reading this and then knowing how season 4 goes, this makes total sense!! And it kind of doesn't make CD look like a bitch like Lifetime made her out to be! I'm so glad you wrote this!

[Swimgirl587]

wow...that was so good...and yes, I do know how it continues, and I didn't like it. CD was my favorite character ...but oh well, you have to roll with the punches sometimes...well all in all, it was awesome...great work
