Summary: Will Brennan be able to get the girl of his dreams, before it is too late and she decides to marry someone else. S/B! Maybe J/L. Please Read & Review!

A/N: Hey guys! This is my First ever fic! So please Read & Review! Let me know what you think. This fic is set a few years after season 3. Mutant X are no longer a team and have all moved on with their lives, except Brennan. Sorry for any mistakes throughout this fic!

Jesse stopped the car and look over his shoulder to see Brennan, who had been sulking in the back seat ever since they had left the bar. But, Jesse realized that Brennan didn't even realize the car had stopped moving. Jesse decided it was time to snap him out of it.

"Brennan, come on snap out if it. We're here."

"Mmmmm... Sorry Jess. Did you say something?" asked Brennan.

"Yeah, i did. I said were here."

"Ok. So... Where is here again?" asked a rather confused Brennan. He didn't understand why they had brought him here. All he wanted to know was why was Shal in danger. But, he knew Jesse must have a good reason for not telling him, so he was going to have to trust him and hope that he would sooner or later. He was personally hoping for sooner. But, his gut feeling was telling him that it was going to be the later part.

"Well, Brennan... If you look outside you will see we are at a church" Lexa said in a teasing manner.

"Wow! Really? Because i thought we were at the beauty salon" Brennan teased back.

Lexa just looked at Brennan smiled and then just laughed. Brennan looked at Lexa and allowed a look of shock to pass across his face.

"Jesse... Oh My God! Did you see that! She is actually smiled. I think this is the first time i have ever seen her show any type of facial expression. The botox injections must have finally wore off."

Lexa had stopped laughing by now and and looked shocked at first. But, that look quickly changed and if looks could kill, Brennan would be a dead man.

"Brennan, dude. I suggest you apologize to her now! Or if your not careful she will be burying you in the church!" Jesse said in a very serious tone.

Brennan seeing the look on Lexa face decided to take Jesse's advice. "Yeah lex, I'm really sorry. I really didn't mean it, Honest. It's just nice to see you relaxed enough around us to actually joke or even smile." Brennan rushed out all at once.

Just as lexa was about to give one of her usual come back lines Jesse jumped in before things got out of hand. "Right then... Brennan, the reason we brought you here was because... Shalimar is in there right now. We need you to talk to her and see try and let her stay with her and Jacob for a few days."

Brennan was about to interrupt but Jesse just gave him the look and he shut up and let him continue. "We have recently received some information that Jacob is working for one of our enemies and is just using Shal to try and get information about Mutant X. You know the usual stuff locations, codes and informant names. We need you to find out what you can about him from Shal and see what she knows."

Brennan couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You want me to just show up after all of this time and start lying to her! Jesse i won't do that to her. And you should know that i can't lie to her. Man... she can read me like an open book!" ranted Brennan. "Can't you just talk to her and explain this information to her?"

"I wish we could. But, she won't have anything to do with us." Explained Jesse.

"What? Why?" Brennan was getting confused and fast. He could not believe Shal would not talk to them. Lexa he could understand but, Jesse? He was like her baby brother.

"There was an incident with Jacob a few months ago with Lexa. He kept trying to come onto her and wouldn't take no for an answer. So... We told Shalimar about it. When she confronted him about it he twisted things and said Lexa came onto him and Shal believed him. I tried to tell Shalimar that lexa would not do that but, You know how she gets. She accused us of trying to stop her from being happy. After that she told us to leave and not to come back, because if we did it would be the biggest mistake of our lives."

Brennan could not believe this! This did not sound anything like the loving Feral he was used to. "I can't believe this! What else don't i know? Wait why didn't you call me? You had my number you could have got in contact with me at any time! If i had known about this sooner i could have tried to calm her down and convince her Jacob was a lying little scum bag!"

"We knew you need time to sort things out. That's why we left it as long as we did. Know why don't you go in there and talk to her. You don't have to use our idea tell her we sent you, it's up to you. Just find out all that you can. Shalimar will talk to you she always has, You can get her to open up about things even when she doesn't want to." lexa spoke gently.

"ok, i will talk to her but... i cant guarantee anything but i will try." With that Brennan got out the car and started to walk to the church entrance. He stopped when he heared his name being called.

"Brennan!" he turned and looked at Jesse. "Call me or Lex when you wan a ride back. If you don't stay with Shal you can stay with us." With that jesse drove off.

Brennan just smiled and walked to the church doors, he then suddenly stopped. He was about to see Shal after all this time. He was excited and nervous at the same time. What if she didn't want to see him? But, he was just gonna have to find out. So with that thought he opened the doors and made his way inside.

Inside the church...

Shalimar was inside just putting the last of the stuff away when she heard the main church doors open. Jacob was meant to be meeting her in an hour. She just thought he surprising her by showing up early. "You know Jacob if you want to surprise me you shouldn't use the door. I can hear them being opened remember" She called over her shoulder.

"Hey, Shal. Long time no see." Brennan replied in a gentle voice.

Shalimar could not believe this. Brennan was hear, right now! Not believing her hearing she sniffed slightly. Catching a whiff of his sent. "Please still be there when i turn around".

Shalimar slowly turned and couldn't believe her eyes he was here. "Brennan" Shalimar said slowly. Her eyes started to fill with tears. "Please tell me your real."

"It's me Shal." Brennan could see the tears in her eyes. "So... Do i get a hug or are we just gonna stand here all day?" Brennan Joked walking slowly towards her. Shalimar slowly started to walk towards as well. But, after a few steps she started moving quicker. Shalimar threw her self into Brennan's open arms.

"Hey Shal" Brennan said to her.

"Hey." Shalimar replied, he voice was thick with emotion. Shalimar pulled back for a second and looked at him. Putting her hand on his cheek. "God, i have missed you so much!" Shalimar replied with a slight sob.

"I missed you too Shal." Brennan said with a smile. Pulling her back into a his strong arms.

Mean while in a secret hide out...

"Well... Mr Callaghan. Have you made any progress since our last meeting?" Replied the dark figure.

"Yes, sir. I believe i have. Shalimar is starting to talk to me about Mutant X and it's old mission. I believe that in a few more weeks after we are married. She will want to be more open with her new husband." Jacob replied with a cruel smile.

"Very well, see that she does. We are getting extremely tired of your lack of progress" The dark figure replied in a threatening manner.

"I won't let you down, sir." Jacob replied.

"See that you don't and we will make sure you will get a seat on our table as we promised."

"Thank you, sir. I will not let you down. Most importantly i will not let the Dominion down!"
