Unhappily Ever After
A/N: While writing An Internal Affair, I wanted to write the story of Chita and how exactly their relationship unfolded to bring Chad and Andrea together to create the Chadrea we all know and love... this is fundamentally Chita with a side of pre-Chadrea, but our girl Andy will have a few cameo appearances. As always, I'd appreciate any feedback you choose to give.
_____________________________________
After watching the city lights dwindle below them, Chad turned away from the window of the airplane and stretched his long legs out as far as he could – flying was always a nuisance because he always had to make sure he was in an exit row – he’d spent a few miserable hours jammed into a normal seat once and had never forgotten how horrible the experience had been. Glancing over at Romero, Chad saw that the other lieutenant was busily explaining to Jameson exactly why it was a bad idea to harass the female flight attendants, particularly on trans-Atlantic flights. A First Team officer was sitting next to him, but even if he felt like talking to anyone, she seemed too scared of him to even say a word.
He sighed to himself and tried to get comfortable since he was in no mood for anything but going to sleep. The officer next to him bolted as soon as the seatbelt sign was turned off, but he didn’t mind – he wouldn’t want to sit next to himself, either. Chad sighed again as he thought of the argument he’d had with Andrea the night before; he wasn’t even sure how it had started, but one thing led to another and he had said quite a few things he hadn’t meant, including comparing her to Rita. That had certainly gone over like a lead balloon, but he’d been ashamed of himself and too full of pride to apologize – when she’d turned on her side away from him, Chad had stared at her back and wondered how he’d messed up so badly. They hardly ever fought on this kind of scale, but when they did, it was almost always his fault.
There was nothing worse than when Andrea was mad at him, and knowing that he was leaving for SWAT training in Germany in the morning only made it worse. Instead of getting to hold and make love to her for the last time when they’d be apart for an entire month, he just stared up at the ceiling and wondered how he could make things right. In the morning, she’d hurried through her breakfast without looking at him and had left when he had gone to walk Meredith.
Why the hell couldn’t he learn to watch his mouth? Chad rested his forehead against the glass– it would be a roughly eight hour flight and he couldn’t even call Andrea for six more after that. It was crazy to think of how different she was from Rita, and despite himself he had to smile at that thought; the two women were like night and day. Settling back in his seat, he closed his eyes and thought of all that had happened to bring him to his present life with Andrea.

A/N the Second: Some of you might be wondering, "Huh? Germany? Why are they going there?" Here's the deal - every so often, the LAPD will send a few SWAT units to train with foreign military to hone their skills at hostage retrieval. They've trained with the French, British, and German special forces thus far, so it makes sense that the captain would send The Chad and Co. overseas to learn a few new tricks.
