Chapter 1 -(Richard)
It had been six months since they lost everything, and things were looking well considering. They had all found apartments around the city. Jesse was the first to get a place. A small apartment uptown, about fifteen minutes away from the apartment that Shalimar and Lexa shared together. Brennan on the other hand had already had a place. He just didn't want to bring the others to it until he was sure that it was safe since he had gotten the place before he joined Mutant X.
(Brennan's Apartment)
They were all coming over for the first time, and for some reason he was nervous. He loved this place and he wanted them to love it too. Hearing a knock at the door he knew who it was.
"Come on in." He opened the door to his three best friend, one of which was his girlfriend.
"Hey man." Jesse was the first to walk in. "I can not believe you have been hiding this place from us."
"Jesse move so Shal and I can come in and make that call for ourselves." Lexa pushed past Jesse. "Wow Brennan you actually do have a little bit of taste."
"Go on look around, I know you both want too." So Lexa and Jesse did just that.
"Would you like to come?"
"It would be my pleasure." Shalimar walked into Brennan's apartment as he closed the door.
"So what you think?"
"This place is gorgeous, it's huge, and almost a nice and me and Lexa's."
"I'm glad you like it. So you want the tour?"
"Of course." Brennan took Shalimar's jacket and hung it up.
"So what do you want to see first? Kitchen, bedrooms, living room?"
"Let's start from the back and work our way forward."
"Okay. Down here are the bedrooms, and my office, which is really my workout room." Shalimar laughed knowing that Brennan was not the office type.
Brennan showed Shalimar the spare bedroom, and then opened the door to his room which was at the end of the hall. "This would be my room." Shalimar walked in and flopped down on the bed.
"Could this bed be any bigger?"
"Are you complaining?"
"Not at all, I am so sleeping here."
"Ha ha you're funny. So you want to see the rest of the place?"
"If I must." Shalimar giggled and got up. A few minutes later the two walked into the living room only two find Lexa and Jesse making out on the couch.
"Can you two please get a room, and stop making out on my couch." Brennan and Shalimar laughed as Jesse, and Lexa broke apart shyly.
"We were just wasting some time." Lexa piped up.
(3 hours later)
Lexa and Jesse had decided to go home as it was starting to snow heavily, leaving Shalimar and Brennan alone for the first time in what seemed like forever.
"So what would you like to do Miss Fox." Brennan said sitting down next to Shalimar on the couch.
"Well I have something in mind but I don't know if you'll like it."
"As long as I'm with you I'll love it." Brennan went to kiss Shalimar but she leaned forward and grabbed the buttons to the television.
"My favourite movie is on tonight and I wanted the two of us to cuddle up on the couch and enjoy it together."
"Sounds good to me, what movie?"
"Serendipity."
"What, isn't that your favourite ice cream parlour?" Brennan had never heard of the movie in his life and knew that it had to be a chick flick.
"Yeah why do you think I love it so much.
"Who's in it?"
"Um, John Cusack, and Kate Beckinsale. Oh quiet it's starting."
So Brennan and Shalimar cuddled up on the couch. Brennan had an arm around Shalimar as she used him as a pillow.
Two hours later Brennan and Shalimar decided to go to bed. "I'll carry you into the spare room."
"Why I'm sleeping in your room." Shalimar stated simply.
"Are you, cause last time I checked that was my room." "Well in that case I suppose I'll share with you." Shalimar giggled and Brennan picked her up and carried her into his room over his shoulder.
Once in his room he set her down on the bed. She pulled him down with her, as they both started laughing.
Fifteen minutes later, they were wrapped up in the warm blanket as the snow fell outside casting a pleasant glow on the streets of New York City.
"Shal do you think fate brought us together or will their always be the one that got away?"
Shalimar turned around to face Brennan. "For some reason I think you're asking me about Richard, and in that case I used to wonder what if."
"But now?"
"I realise that it was never meant to be or it would have been. Don't get me wrong I loved him but not in the same way I love you. With him it was more of a feral thing, and that's what made the love so strong. With you though, you're obviously not a feral and I love you more than I ever loved him. If he were to come back from the grave and show up at my door, I'd tell he was wasting his time because I found what I always wanted."
"You mean that?"
"Yeah I do with all my heart. Fate brought us together Brennan after everything we've been through our whole lives. We just had to realise it, and we did. Why do you think I love that movie so much?"
"It was good?"
"Well yes and it reminds me of us. We waited so long before we ever acted just like the characters in the movie. Brennan you are the only one for me. Richard is just an ex that I used to love but don't anymore. I don't even miss him, I have you and that's all I need."
"That means a lot to me. I love you."
"I love you too." Shalimar put her head down on Brennan shoulder and they both fell asleep happy.
