Title: TBA

Author: fbi-woman

Rating: K for now, but will definitely end up being M

Type: Tobin/Silvia, post-movie, sequel to "The Long Way Home"

Spoilers: the movie, duh lol, and of course my other fic, "The Long Way Home"

Disclaimer: I own nothing, and I'm not claiming to own anything. This is just my own idea of what could have happened after the movie.

Summary: This is a much shorter continuation of my other fic. Instead of the way home, this is the first night home, if you catch my drift lol. Don't like the idea of them together romantically? Tough lol, perhaps this fic is not for you. All readers are welcome of course, but no flaming though please; it's just dumb lol.

A/N: Hey everyone! Well, I said I was going to write an epilogue of sorts, but I thought it might be a bit long to write the whole thing at once (I write best late at night lol), so it's going to be a mini-fic sequel lol. I don't think it will be longer than two or three chapter though, probably two. There haven't been many comments on the end of The Long Way Home, so make sure you have read the last chapter of that before you read this. I mean, this technically should make sense even if you haven't read it, but since it's a continuation, it would probably be best if you completed the first fic first. Thanks everyone, I hope you like it. I know sometimes I update slowly and some of you don't like that, but I do the best I can. I am a university student and a seriously competitive horseback rider, so I don't always get as much time to write as I'd like, but I don't have too much school work over the holidays so I'm going to do my best to get this done or at least write as much as possible. Thanks to everyone who has given me support throughout the writing of The Long Way Home. Enjoy!

Hand in hand, Tobin and Silvia followed their security escort out of the airport and to Tobin's car in the parking lot and were on their way home to Tobin's apartment. Fingers entwined, neither one moved their hand during the entire drive. The first portion of the drive was filled with sideways glances and flirtatious smiles as the pair enjoyed being in each other's company. Before long, however, the jet lag kicked in and Silvia drifted off to sleep with her head against the window. Tobin couldn't help but glance over at her at every stop light; she looked so sweet and peaceful. Eventually, despite the New York evening traffic, they made it to his building and he brought the car to a halt. He reluctantly removed his hand from Silvia's grasp and shook her gently.

"Silvia," he called softly, "Silvia we're here."

She moaned sleepily as her eyes fluttered open. She sat up, alert upon noticing her new surroundings, and smiled up at him. Removing his hand from her arm, he got out of the car and walked around to open to door for her. She stepped out and wrapped her arms around him, holding him close as she kissed him softly. He smiled and kissed her forehead, taking her hand as he continued around the car to the trunk to get her luggage. He of course insisted on taking the biggest suitcase and her carry-on bag, only allowing her to take the small suitcase because he needed a hand to get his keys.

"This is it," he said insecurely, "I know it's kind of small, but I've already started looking for something a bigger."

"No, it's perfect," she replied with a smile, "I love it."

"Well, let me show you around."

As in most standard apartments, there wasn't a whole lot to show, so the tour didn't last very long and was poorly planned, Tobin realized, when they ended in the bedroom containing only one bed. In truth, he hadn't really given much thought to the sleeping arrangement, and now he wasn't quiet sure what to say about it. He didn't want to push her, but at the same time, if she was comfortable with sharing a bed, he didn't want to hurt her by offering to stay on the couch until they could find a bigger apartment. As the awkward silence descended, he knew he had to say something.

"Um… there's only one bedroom but the couch pulls out, so I don't mind sleeping there."

She took both of his hands and looked into his eyes, her face only inches away from his.

"You don't have to do that if you don't want to."

"Okay" he responded with a smile, not exactly sure whether he was relieved or more nervous.

He brushed his lips across hers ever so lightly and dropped one of her hands so he could lead her back to the living room.

"So what do you want to do for dinner?" he asked, deftly changing the subject. "Did you want to stay in, go out, order in? What would you like?"

She smiled shyly.

"This is probably going to sound strange, but could we have pizza? I haven't had it since I left, it's not quite as common in Africa" she said with a laugh.

"Sure, whatever you want. One pizza coming right up! What do you like on it?"

"Whatever you like is fine" she smiled.

He called in their order and brought two beers out into the living room. They toasted to her return, and time flew by as they caught up on everything that happened between letters. Tobin told her all about the hearing and apologized profusely for waiting so long to tell her. She completely understood why he had waited, and she explained that she hadn't really been as upset as she had seemed: she was just caught off guard by what she had overheard at work. Before either realized it, they had talked well into the night. The pizza box and bottles were long empty, and the sun had disappeared behind the mountain of skyscrapers. They had also managed to gradually shift positions on the couch so that they were as close together as possible. Somehow he had ended up with one arm on the back of the couch behind her and one hand on her knee, and she had placed a hand on top of his. Their eyes met, and conversation immediately ceased as they both saw the love and desire reflected in pools of blue.

Ohhh I'm evil, aren't I? lol. Sorry it's so short, but the next part really needs to be written all at once, and it's almost 1am, so I think I should wait until my next writing session to finish this up. I don't want the good part to be crappy cuz I'm tired lol. I promise I'll make it worth the wait though, and I'll try to get the next part up in a day or two, but it all depends on how much interest is generated lol. I want to make sure people are actually reading before I change the rating and it disappears from the default page. Hope you're all as excited as I am for the rest! Make sure you let me know if you are ;).
