~*~*Chapter 1*~*~
Brennan stood at the altar, with his head bowed. This was the big day. Even though there wasn't a whole church full of people watching them, he was still very nervous. Jesse stood beside him as Best Man and Emma stood opposite them in a light purple gown as the Made of honor. Mackenzie sat with Mina in one of the small pews and watched for Shalimar and Adam as soft music started.
Brennan looked up and his breath was completely taken away when he saw Shalimar. There were no words to describe how beautiful she looked. She wore a white spaghetti strap A-line dress with delicately embroidered flowers across the bodice. Her hair was down, falling gracefully over her shoulders and small white flowers were scattered artistically about.
Adam walked her tearfully down the isle. Even though Shalimar wasn't flesh and blood he still though of her as his 'little girl'.
Shalimar herself could barely breathe. She was still having trouble believing any of this was real. It was like a dream.
As they got to the altar Adam turned and kissed Shalimar then shook hands with Brennan. As everyone watched tearfully, Adam placed Shalimar's hand and Brennan's together and smiled at them both before he finally released them and turned to take his seat with Mackenzie and Mina.
One year later, they were as happy as they were that day. Shalimar rolled over and draped her arm over her husband as she rested her head on his shoulder. He smiled as she snuggled into him. Twirling her silky hair around his fingers he waited for her to wake up.
She slowly opened her eyes and then looked up at him. "Morning." She mumbled, eyes still half shut. Brennan smiled and kissed her forehead. "Morning. Happy anniversary."
Shalimar smiled and kissed him, then rested her head on his shoulder again. "Wow, time flies. You ready for today?"
"As, long as I'm with you." Brennan smiled and kissed her head. "I love you Shal."
"I love you too,"
Shalimar and Brennan lay in bed with their eyes closed just relaxing in each others arms when all of a sudden the bed started bouncing. Brennan groaned and Shalimar opened one eye.
Mina smiled, "Wake up!" and dropped to her bottom before crawling up and lying onto her father's chest. Brennan smiled and whispered something into her ear that made the little girl giggle.
Mina knelt beside her mother as Brennan propped himself up on one arm. He slowly put up one finger at a time until he got to three. As soon as Mina saw his third finger she jumped on her mother and started tickling her. To help, Brennan reached over with his free hand and found the sensitive spot on Shalimar's side.
She was already laughing, but when Brennan hit that spot she shrieked and laughed even harder. "Enough...I'm...UP! As soon as Mina and Brennan stopped Shalimar's hands went to Mina's sides and she started tickling her.
She squealed and fell to the side, curling up in a ball. Shalimar stopped and kissed her head. "Morning, Sweetie,"
Mina just smiled as she wrapped her arms around her mother.
"Shalimar, Brennan, I need you two down in the lab for a meeting in ten minutes." Adam's voice came from over their comm. links.
They both sighed. "We're coming," Brennan replied as he lazily got out of bed. After dressing and washing up, they headed down to the lab with Mina.
~*~* In the Lab*~*~
Shalimar and Brennan entered the lab and were met with three big smiles. "Happy Anniversary!" They all said at once.
Shalimar and Brennan smiled and thanked them.
"Brennan, Shalimar, you two, have the day off. Jesse and Emma will take care of any calls that we might get and I'm going to take Mina out." Adam said with a smile.
"This is from all of us." Emma smiled as she handed them a card. Shalimar took it and carefully opened it. Her eyes widened when she saw what was inside and she smiled brightly. "Brennan, look, you and I get to spend the whole day at the Oasis Spa!"
"Excellent choice," Brennan complimented. "Thank you."
"Come on, Mina. Your parents have to get ready to go and so do we." Adam said as he took her hand. Mina smiled and went with Adam to get ready for a day of fun.
"Thank you so much, guys." Shalimar said as she hugged Emma and Jesse.
"You two, better get moving, you're gonna be late." Jesse said.
Brennan and Shalimar both nodded and left to get ready.
"So, Emma, what are you gonna do today?" He asked.
She thought for a minute. "No clue. Maybe read, watch TV."
"How about a movie, later on, after lunch?"
"That sounds good." She smiled and kissed his cheek before heading to her room. Jesse smiled, and then headed for the computers.
