NYPD Blue Fanfiction

PASSIONATE AWAKENINGS 
By Ida

This little effort was created for my VP and Fanfic Secretary. It started out as an attempt to show them that I could swim in the deep end of the gutter too. They liked it, and encouraged me to share it with everybody. So, here it is gang, my latest attempt at this fanfic thing. A special thank you goes out to Maggie for suggesting the title, and to Rennie for some editorial advice. Hope you all enjoy it!

Connie woke up very early one morning and looked over at Andy as he lay beside her, still lost in a deep sleep. She was instantly overcome by a powerful urge to touch him. She reached over and gently stroked his cheek. She loved this man so much. It scared her sometimes when she thought about just how much. 

She and Andy shared so many common bonds; it was just natural that they had connected. They were thrown together as partners on the job when Diane left the squad and Danny disappeared. Connie was thrilled to get a chance to work beside Andy. He was not always an easy man to be around. But he was the best detective in the precinct. Hell, he may just be the best detective in the entire department. Connie was eager to learn all she could from Andy, and she quickly won his respect and admiration. They were a good team, and she was as disappointed as he was when Lt. Rodriguez had split them up.  

They had remained good pals, and each had been there for the other through some tough times. Connie was there for Andy when Danny’s body was found and he came oh so close to taking a drink. Andy in turn was there for Connie when her yearning to be close to the daughter she gave up for adoption got the better of her and she made a mess of the situation.  

She loved being around Andy and his son Theo. Andy became a different person when he was with his son and she loved seeing that side of him. She adored Theo, he reminded her so much of a miniature Andy. She loved babysitting Theo, and she looked forward to the time she got to spend with the Sipowicz boys.  

Neither Andy nor Connie was prepared for what came next. That night after the movie, she had enjoyed herself so much. Being with Andy and Theo was the only place she wanted to be anymore. She never saw it coming, it happened so naturally it just seemed right. Connie had turned Andy’s innocent goodnight peck on the cheek into a full-blown kiss on the lips. It was a soft and gentle kiss, but it turned both their worlds upside down. 

The next few months were both confusing and frustrating as each of them wrestled with their feelings for the other. It didn’t matter to her that Andy was so much older than she was. She tried to be patient with him as he struggled with his feelings. She realized that Andy had issues that went way beyond the age difference. He was nursing the worst kind of broken heart. His beloved wife had been taken from him in the blink of an eye. Sylvia’s death had devastated Andy, and if it had not been for Theo, it surely would have destroyed him.

Connie understood Andy’s pain, and did her best to be patient as he took one step forward and then 3 steps back in their budding relationship. She knew he had strong feelings for her, and she was determined to make him realize that it was okay for him to let go and give into them. At times it seemed to her that he was just as determined to fight them.  

Then came that awful day when Andy was taken hostage by a suspect. She had come so close to losing him, and could not have borne it if she had. But, as awful as that day was, it did have a bright side. It served to make Andy move forward with things. He re-invited her to Disneyland with him and Theo. She had wanted to go all along. But Andy had been so secretive about it; she got tired of all the back and forth and cancelled her plans to go along. She was glad she changed her mind again and went. She smiled as she remembered the way Andy had stood up and announced to the squad that they would be going away together. 

Now, here they were a year later, living together as a family with her baby niece Michelle. Things had gotten off to a rocky start. But eventually they adjusted and were now as happy as either of them ever knew they could be. Connie had fallen hard for this man, she couldn’t explain how or why. But being with him made her feel safer and more secure than she had ever felt in her life. He made her laugh, and he made her feel loved. She was lucky to have found him. When he made love to her, he made her feel that she was the only woman on earth.  

Andy Sipowicz was her man, and she loved him. There was no doubt about that. Now, lying here beside him, she wanted him. She wanted to feel his touch, to taste his lips. She loved the way his touch made her feel. She wanted him, and she wanted him now. 

Did she dare wake him? It would be hours before the kids would wake up. It was Saturday; they didn’t have to go to work. He could sleep in and she could nap with the baby while Andy and Theo went out for the afternoon. She decided to go for it, she had to have him, and she couldn’t wait any longer. 

She reached over and began to gently stroke his cheek. Then took her finger and gently traced the outline of his face. She then hovered over him and kissed his neck. Andy began to stir then, and she continued to kiss his neck and then nibble on his ear. She trailed light sensual kisses across his face and Andy groaned and opened his eyes.  

He reached up and took her face in his hand. – Andy: What are you doing? Is everything okay?  

Connie: SHHH, Andy, everything is just fine. I just wanted to kiss you. 

Andy: Oh, okay, couldn’t you wait until a more decent hour?  

Connie: (Smiling playfully andnuzzling his neck) I could have, but it wouldn’t have been as much fun.  

Andy: Oh well, since you put it that way. (He sits up and takes Connie’s chin in his hand and lifts her face to his and gives her a long, passionate kiss). How was that? 

Connie: Very nice, just what I was looking for.  

Andy: Good, now maybe I can get some sleep. (He turns over on his side facing away from Connie). 

Connie: Hey, (she grabs his shoulder and turns him over on his back) you can’t kiss me like you just did and expect me to just roll over and go to sleep.  

Andy: (reaching up and stroking her cheek), I can’t huh? Well, just what did you want to be doing at this hour?  

Connie: (Smiling coyly): Here, let me show you. (She starts trailing slow, sensual kisses over Andy’s face and then works her way down his neck and over his body. Eventually working her way back up to his mouth. She then gives him a long, slow passionate kiss on the lips).  

Andy: (His passion building now), Mmmm, I like this. (He kisses her urgently and flips her over on her back). Now that you got me up, let me show you what I can do

He then sets to trailing light sensual kisses down Connie’s face and neck. Connie moans softly and digs her nails into Andy’s back as he continues to kiss and touch her, as only he knew how. Andy’s touch always set her skin on fire, and her head was spinning as her passion grew and grew. Andy slowly worked his way back up to Connie’s face and gives her a long passionate kiss on the mouth.  

Andy: Damn woman, you drive me crazy. (He gives her a soft kiss on the tip of her nose). 

Connie: You’re not doing such a bad job yourself Mr.  

Andy: (Chuckling softly): I love you Connie. 

Connie: I love you too Andy. 

Andy kisses her again and Connie returns his kiss urgently and wantonly. Connie surrenders herself to her man and their passion explodes as they become one. Connie has accomplished her mission, and together she and Andy have created their own little version of heaven. 

Afterward, they lie together in the afterglow of their incredible lovemaking. Andy is feeling content and happy. He feels as though he’s holding the entire world in his arms. His world, and it was a great place to be right now. This incredible, beautiful woman loved him. She loved him for who he was, loved him in spite of the fact that he was less than perfect. Andy couldn’t help but wonder what he had done to deserve her love. But, he decided, at that moment, to stop asking and to count his blessings. He had known so much grief over these past few years, so much pain. Maybe, the time had come for him to have true happiness. He couldn’t imagine himself being any happier than he was right now. He had his son, the one thing in his life that had made sense through all the loss. The only real reason that he had been able to go on after his beloved Sylvia had been taken from him. He had this beautiful woman in his arms, and he had a new baby girl that he just adored.  

Andy chuckled to himself when he thought about Michelle. He hadn’t planned on becoming a father again at his age. Hell, he hadn’t planned on anything but raising his son. But, he had to admit; he liked having this little family. He liked this feeling of contentment, and he loved Connie McDowell with all his heart.  

Connie was tingling from head to toe as she lies in Andy arms. God, she loved this man so much. She loved how it felt to have him hold her. She had never felt so safe and so protected. Connie sighed a contented sigh and reached up and kissed Andy on his neck.  

Connie: You know, you never cease to amaze me. 

Andy: (Laughing softly), Yeah well, what can I say, you bring out the best in me. 

Connie: (Sitting up and looking in his eyes), You are the best Andy. I love you so much. 

Andy: (Pulling Connie back to his chest and kissing her on the top of her head). I love you too. (Playfully) I love you even though you saw fit to ruin a good night’s sleep for me. 

Connie: You complaining? 

Andy: Oh, no way. This beats an alarm clock any day.  

Connie: It sure does, I like being in your arms like this. 

Andy: I like having you here. (He kisses her softly on the forehead). 

Connie: (Nuzzling Andy’s neck and nibbling on his ear). You wanna go back to sleep now?  

Andy: Yeah, right, like I can sleep with you kissing me like that. 

Connie: (Continues to nuzzle his neck) You want me to stop? 

Andy: Not really. (Rises up and hovers over Connie) I was thinking maybe I would try to amaze you some more. (He kisses her passionately and begins to kiss and caress her body, re-igniting her passion). 

Connie: Oh Andy…….
