~a few months later at H.Q. ~

"I am so sad" Manfredi said. Heather sighed.

"Okay why are you sad" she asked.

"There's like nothing with caffeine in here and Skipper Private and Kowalski are still in the hospital so we can't leave"

"well at least your love life is fine. I haven't talked to Private in like over a month"

"that's not my fault I told you to tell him" Heather sat down at the table. Manfredi sat next to her.

"Hey it's going to be okay. Johnson is in jail Blowhole and Hans re dead"

"what's your point?"

"Lack of bad guys more time at H.Q. more time at H.Q. you can talk to Private then" Heather got up and walked to Kowalski's lab. When she came out she had a bottle of Pepsi and a bottle of Coke. Heather place them on the table.

"here so you can learn the different" Manfredi smiled.

"caffeine! Skipper's still in the hospital where did you get this?" Manfredi asked.

"I'm human remember and anyways I'm not talking to you until you learn the different"

~animal hospital~

Skipper, Private and Kowalski were all in the same room waiting for the doctor to release them. Until then they had to wait, and wait, and wait and Private was getting sick of it. The only thing that was worse then Heather agreeing to marry another man is being away from her. Actually Private was worried a lot about her. Heather barely talked to him and he was afraid that something worse happening then just Kevin purposing to her. Did Heather love Kevin? Private was so deep in thought he didn't hear Skipper the first time.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" he asked.

"I said as soon as the zoo opens we are getting released" Skipper said

"oh" Private looked at his cast.

"okay, what's wrong"

"I'm just worried that Heather doesn't love me anymore"

"She didn't tell you?" Private looked at him.

"tell me what"

"well, I'm not going to tell you. It's one of those things I can't interfere with" Private stared at him for a moment. Something that Skipper couldn't interfere with? This had to be worse then he thought.

~later at the H.Q.~

Things where quiet. Kowalski felt downgraded. He seriously felt like most of this was his fault. Rico was just quiet. He finally has the ability to talk and he doesn't. Manfredi has a 2 liter bottle of Coke so he wouldn't be talking anytime soon. Heather and Private kept looking at each other silently agree that if and when they were alone she was going to tell him the truth. Then Marlene came in.

"Hey guys, Mort got stuck in the popcorn machine he's going to get buried alive if you don't do something" she said.

"Alright this seems like a four man job so you two stay here" Skipper said pointing to Private and Heather.

"but Skipper-" Heather tried.

"nope. four MAN job"

"well that was the most sexist thing you ever said" Heather mumbled to herself. Skipper smiled and left with the rest of the team leaving Private and Heather alone.

"Heather?" Private asked quietly. She turned to look at him. "what happened?" Heather sighed and sat at the table Private sat across from her. She knew that she should tell him. Private would understand.

"I didn't mean to" she said not even thinking about it.

"you didn't mean to do what" Heather sighed again.

"when I heard that you were…they said you were dead Private. I was so scared I didn't want to live without you" she finally said. That was the only way to describe it. Private was shocked was she saying what he thinks she was saying. He walked over to her and hugged her. Heather cried into his shoulder.

"I'll never love anyone other than you" Heather whispered to him.

"I know" Private said back. He didn't want to let go of her. They must have down something to really terrify Heather. Something was up other then Kevin telling her Private was dead. "did you have that nightmare again" heather nodded slightly. "what is it about?"

Heather looked at him pulling back from there hug. "I…I keep seeing you dead and I love you. I don't want you to leave"

"Heather, I love you and I'll never leave" Private pulled her into another hug. Manfredi then came through the fish bowl entrance.

"Hey I forgot...never mind" he backed out slowly trying not to interrupt their love moment.
