Hey guys, this is my first ever fanfiction so I want to now what you think, so please comment below. Also, just to be clear, I am a huge Waige shipper and I am not really a fan of Drew. I just thought that this would be a good way to get Drew involved because I really want to see how things play out between Paige and Walter when and if he returns. I am English so if you don't understand some of it, I'll try to explain but I have tried my best to change it a little. This story will be mostly based around Paige and Walter's relationship but there will also be hints of Quintis. I am hoping to make this a two or three part story so please tell me if you want me to change anything to make it better. I hope you enjoy it!

Valentine's Disaster

Paige's Point of View

After a hard day's work as usual with working within the Scorpion team, I decided to skip finishing off the paperwork and go and pick Ralph up from his sitter. With having a huge case today, there was not a high probability of having another case tomorrow, so it could wait until then. After all, it would give me a valid reason for me to come to the garage without having Toby analyse me again. Also, I had one big decision to make which has been praying on my mind all day – whose invitation should I accept?

Flashback

Arriving at the garage was always a pleasure in the morning, especially when I get to spend time with my family. Apart from Ralph, I don't see my real family anymore. I haven't heard from any of them since the argument we had when I told them I was pregnant with Ralph. Anyway, being invited into the garage with the smell of cinnamon in the coffee pot was always a pleasant aroma, just like every morning. However, today wasn't just an ordinary day though. Today it was 'Valentine's Day Eve' as I like to call it. Today would determine whether I would have the chance of being with someone or be alone, similar to how I was last year. Just like every morning, I dropped my coat and purse on my desk and went to grab some coffee whilst the other members of the Scorpion family were busy with their usual activities – Sylvester figuring out calculations, Happy making an ear splitting noise with her tools, Toby reading 2 books at once (I still don't understand his logic sometimes), and Walter… Wait. Where was Walter? I checked my phone – no sign of Walter and it was almost 9. That was unusual.

Going to see where he was, I silently tip-toed upstairs not wanting Toby to see where I was heading. Since the accident, he is forever on mine and Walter's case about our affection for each other. Seeing me creeping up the stairs to the loft would only make the whole situation worse.

Once up in the loft, I found Walter sitting on the couch obviously calculating something. However, something was off about him. He had a small note in his hand and was mumbling to himself. For minutes I stood by the wall and observed him as he carried on mumbling to himself in a world of his own. It was so fascinating to watch his mind work. I've known the team for over a year and it is still mind-boggling to watch them work. Even though I couldn't understand most of it, there was still and aspect to his personality that was always missing but I didn't mind. This mysterious personality could be kept under wraps because he doesn't want to show how much he really cares about everyone on the team.

I was swiftly interrupted by a certain shrink shouting up the stairs to inform Walter that Cabe would be arriving within a matter of minutes. He must have seen me sneak up the stairs because what he shouted was something only Toby would say: "Will you two love-birds come down in a minute. You've been up there for what seems like hours. Anyway, Cabe will be here in a minute and he doesn't sound like he wants to be kept waiting!" Hearing him scurrying off and laughing was something only the shrink could do. I saw a shadow run over to Happy's workspace and high fived her as they both burst out laughing. Something was definitely changing between them two, and it was becoming rather cute to see two of my closest friends become even closer.

However, Toby shouting up the stairs was the least of my worries. Walter had obviously heard Toby and was now staring at me but not venomously at all. He was instead staring at me with what seemed like love and compassion.

"Paige? How long have you been standing there?" Walter turned round and asked me whilst still sitting on the couch.

"Only a few minutes. I was wondering why you weren't downstairs and then I saw you sitting there mumbling to yourself again. I did wonder if you had dove into the rabbit hole like you used to but if Toby was able to wake you by shouting up the stairs, I don't think you are. What are you doing anyway?" I replied. I tried to look him straight in the eye but I couldn't. Every time I did, I constantly went weak at the knees. Since the experiment we did after the missile crisis, I couldn't stare at him. I don't know what it was but I just couldn't! It was like I was a teenager again! I just couldn't help feeling like this.

"Well, if Cabe doesn't want to be kept waiting, we better go," was all that Walter replied. He obviously hadn't caught on to my awkwardness.

The plan of taking an old jacket downstairs as a disguise for my ulterior motive didn't really work as Toby straight away ran towards me evidently to interrogate me. At that point was when I noticed a small piece of paper, similar to the one that Walter was holding in his hand a few minutes ago, pinned down by my phone to my desk. Being as curious as I am, I just had to check it out. I quickly managed to dodge the shrink which left me a few seconds on my own.

Once I had lifted my phone up, I nearly as fast as lightning dropped it to the floor. I couldn't believe it. A note that said: 'Be My Valentine,' just lay on my desk. However, I recognised the handwriting instantly. It was Drew's…

"So, What were you and Walt doing up there which took so long for you to come down?" Toby asked as Walter walked past throwing me the eyes he always gives me which unfortunately for us two, was not missed by the shrink. Before I had a chance to open my mouth, the garage door slammed open as it sounded like another hurricane was passing over LA. At the door stood an agent who at this point, didn't look impressed.

"Huddle up, we got a case!" Cabe grumbled through the garage which caught everyone's attention – even Happy's.

-Scorpion-

The case didn't seem to be so complicated until things got a bit out of hand when the robber tried to flee the site. That was when Walter and Happy gave chase whilst Toby, Cabe, Sylvester and I went chasing through the city in the SUV.

Once we eventually caught him, he was sent in the direction of the cops and that was another case ended.

The whole note thing this morning quickly flooded my mind as we headed back to the garage in Cabe's SUV. As usual, Cabe was driving (slowly this time, thankfully), Sylvester half asleep sitting next to him, Happy leaning on Toby's shoulder in the first row and Walter and I on the back row. Everything was peaceful for once. It was actually quite soothing. That was when Walter decided to scoot along the row and seat right beside me. My heart picked up speed and now seemed to be beating faster than a cheetah but I just wanted to enjoy this moment.

"Crazy day, huh?" was all I could say as the speechlessness I experience regularly around him became more and more of a problem.

"Not the craziest but yeah, I know what you mean," he replied as he lowered his hand onto mine. I could feel his gaze on me as I slowly leaned over to rest my head on his shoulder. Over the past few weeks, he had become more comfortable with physical contact, well around me anyway.

"I have, erm, a proposal to make," he continued but more nervous than the first time he spoke. At first I was confused but then my heart began beating even faster.

"What's that, Walter," I reply calmly as I didn't want to make him more nervous than he already evidently is.

"Have dinner with me tomorrow night?" he boldly proposed which seemed to make me convinced that he was being serious.

However, this just left me in more of a muddle. Who should I choose? Drew – the father of my son or Walter – my boss with whom I have strong feelings for and vice versa? It was just so hard to choose? What should I do?...
