A/N: So the prompts I randomly choose from the ipod app 100 cameras (5 in each chapter.) Each one is just Nate and Sophie romance and on a very rare occasion does the team show up. This chapter is centered around Sophie :) Oh, and they are also to end without not really wrapping up the story/ending with the introduction of the problem or whatever. So please don't be all like 'it ended too quickly!' It's supposed to do that because they're supposed to be short. Anyway I don't own Leverage but I'd love some reviews.

It's almost a timeline

1)The comforting smell of too-hot tea

It was Christmas Eve and the team was actually spending it like a normal family for once. They were all gathered around the Christmas tree that was glittering in the dark. Sophie and Parker had decorated it together with some arguing over which stolen artifacts to put on the tree. Hardison sat on Parker's left and Eliot sat on her right. Nate had his arm around Sophie as they sat on separate couch. It was a true family moment.

The tea kettle on the stove slowly started to whistle and Sophie slipped out from Nates grasp to go get it. "Does anyone want tea?"

"I'll take some!" Eliot called into the kitchen

"Can I have hot chocolate?" Parker asked

"Okay" Sophie called back into the living room/main room.

She got the tea prepared for Eliot and herself and the hot chocolate for Parker. Parker came bounding into the room and grabbed her mug.

"Thanks Mom!"

Sophie smiled to herself at the younger girls words. "You're welcome"

When she walked back in she handed Eliot his cup of tea and then went to go sit down with Nate. She held her cup of tea close to her face, inhaling the smell. Her whole world was at peace and she had no worries anymore.

"I love the comforting smell of too-hot tea" Sophie murmured

2)The future of us

Sophie knew they needed to have that talk now. Nate had big plans and she was positive there was more to it then just moving to a new city. It was the last day in Boston before they would head off to Portland.

"Nate, I think it's time we have that talk" Sophie said as she sat down on the ground for there was no where to sit anymore.

"That talk as in the our future talk?" Nate seemed slightly hesitant

"Sit down so I don't feel like I'm talking to a giant" Sophie gently instructed." And yes, that talk"

Nate sat down across from her and looked at her. Sophie melted at the sight of his young blue eyes that looked so innocent. "What's the future of us?"

"I love you Sophie" Nate said bluntly, an adorable smile on his face

Sophie was caught off guard by the suddenness. "I love you too Nate!"

He then leaned over to kiss her gently and then slipped something into her hand. "How's that for the future of us?"

Sophie opened her hand and looked down at the object.

"Will you marry me?"

The ring glistened in the light streaming through window. Sophie started crying at the whole situation. "Yes! Of course I'll marry you!"

Nate wiped the tears from her face and kissed her. It wasn't fierce or fast, but one filled with love and compassion

3)I remember the clouds from that day

Sophie remembered the feel of the soft grass under her feet and the smell of the lilacs in her hair. The soft warm breeze of the spring and the way the people grinned. How the rays of sun cast a glow upon the guests seats. The crisp white of her weeding dress and the mat black of his tux. She remebered the way his lips twitched up into a smile and the feel of his mouth against hers. Finally they were husband and wife. She had changed into her light blue reception dress that didn't stay light blue for long. Somehow they had ended up getting in a mud fight and her dress was ruined. She remembered laying in the grass hand in hand with Nate as they stared up at the clouds.

"And that one looks like an alligator" Sophie said as she pointed at the clouds

Nate chuckled and wiped some mud off her nose. "I think that one looks like a bunny"

"That one looks a bit like a man screaming"

"And what about that one-" Nate pointed to another cloud "-that one looks like a heart"

That was the past and this is the present: 5 years later.

Nate and Sophie were lying on their backs as they stared up at the clouds. She spotted one that caught her interest and brought back a whirlwind on memories.

Sophie smiled and turned over to look at Nate. "I think that one looks like a heart"

Nate smiled back at her. "I'll always remember the clouds from that day"

4)We should have never done these things

Sophie knew that stealing a country wasn't easy and that they shouldn't have taken the job from the Italian. They shouldn't have done this and they shouldn't have done that. It was all regret, guilt, and lies. Somehow the friendly drink and the friendly dinner mattered more to her now. She knew she shouldn't have done it. Her nerves were caught in her throat and her arms were wrapped around her mid-section. Nate eyed her curiosly as she curled up into a ball next to him.

"I'm sorry" She cried

Nate immediately changed gears and he got down to look at her. "Sophie, whats wrong?"

"I'm sorry!" She repeated, the tears streaming down her face

"Sophie, please, what's wrong?" Nate was scared now. She had never done this before.

"Y-you're gonna hate me"

"I promise I won't hate you Soph"

"Yes you will" Sophie said as she hid her face behind her knees

"Please, just help me understand!" Nate was almost on the verge of crying

Sophie cried for a little more until finally looking up at Nate, her eyes red-rimmed from crying. "I-I-I'm pregnant," Sophie took in a deep breath, "we should have never done these things"

5)The light fell between the trees

Sophie ran from the team and ran from her life. She told no one in hopes of peace and solitude. No she hadn't run because of Nate. No she hadn't run because of anyone. And no it wasn't a vengeful mark trying to kill her. She was running because of herself. It may seem stupid or odd to anyone who asked by it made perfect sense to her. She erased everything and anything they could use to track her.

"Sophie?"

Yet they would always find her.

"Nate, go away!" Sophie said in as calm voice as she could manage, her back to him.

"Sophie, why did you run away?" Nate demanded in a hopeless tone

Sophie took a deep breath as she tried to think of a response.

"You're in the middle of the woods! What the hell are you thinking?"

"Please get away from me!" Sophie said a little harsher, her head tilting to the side slightly. Out of the corner of her eye she watched as the light fell between the trees.

The cloudy skies of Portland had always kept her secret safe but now the sun was coming.

"Sophie" Nates voice was closer.

She took a step away from the light and she heard Nate follow. "P-please just leave me alone!"

Nate suddenly ran in front of her, grabbing her arms. She stumbled backwards and into the sun.

His eyes went impossibly wide.

Sophie's skin was a sickly pale and her eyes were red. She screamed as the sun burned her skin and she pushed Nate back with extreme force. He fell to the ground with a thud and Sophie ran from the light.

Nate scrambled to his feet and saw Sophie standing far away. He ran over to her and saw her skin was sun burnt and tears streaming down her face.

"What the hell?" Nate breathed heavily

"I'm running from myself, Nate. I'm a monster."

"So-so are you...a vampire?" Nate knew it was a stupid question

"Yes Nate, I am a vampire"
