I do not own Scorpion.

Toby paced the floor of the garage anxiously. He texted Happy 15 minutes ago and she still hadn't responded. Walter watched amused. He assumed the psychiatrist didn't realize it was 2am for the mechanical prodigy. She was invited by the CEOs of the leading Japanese car companies to help them improve their plans for the new models. She had been in Tokyo for three days and had another four left. Paige walked into the garage.

"Happy hasn't responded?" she guessed.

"Nope." Toby responded.

"How many texts did you send?"

"Um…"

"Toby. More or less than ten?"

"More."

"Twenty?"

"More."

"Toby!" she reprimanded.

"I miss her!"

"It's two in the morning in Tokyo and she's been really busy with the car schematics. She should be asle…" Paige was cut off by Toby's ringtone. Come and Get Your Love by Redbone blasted through the garage. Toby sprinted to his desk to answer.

"Hello my turtle dove."

"Toby. It's two in the morning here. Why did you leave me 62 texts?" She asked, half asleep.

"It was 62 really? I lost track." Paige's jaw dropped.

"You left her sixty two texts?!" Toby waved his hand at her to shush her as Walter walked Paige into the kitchen for coffee.

"I just miss you." Toby told his girlfriend quietly. She exhaled.

"I miss you too. More than I thought I would."

"Can you come home soon?"

"Four more days babe. I'm doing really good work here. Some of these CEOs love my work."

"I knew they would." He smiled, proud beyond words of his girlfriend.

"Are you better now? Because I'm sorry I love you but I really need to sleep." He smiled.

"I'm good now. I just needed to hear your voice." he admitted. She laughed quietly.

"Okay."

"I love you." He said, his heart in his throat.

"I love you too Toby." He smiled.

"Sleep well sunshine."

"Okay."

"Okay." Neither of them hung up.

"You hang up." She said.

"No you!" He teased.

"Can you just go through the phone and hold me until I fall asleep? I hate sleeping alone." even over the phone she seemed smaller with that admission of vulnerability.

"You know I would if I could bunny."

"Okay. I'm gonna hang up now before I get too sad."

"Okay. I love you Happy." He told her, knowing if he insisted she stay on the line it wouldn't help either of them.

"I love you too." She hung up. Toby put the phone down and exhaled, mentally calculating the seconds until she would be back in his arms.

Xxx

Toby tapped his foot against the side of his desk, counting the seconds unil he could leave to pick Happy up from the airport. He got the okay from Cabe to take Happy home after she got back unless they got a case.

Once the clock hit noon, Toby bolted from his chair and flung himself into his truck, tearing down the street towards LAX. After a 15 minute drive, he parked the car and walked into the arrival terminal. Happy's flight would arrive in five minutes, which would mean it wouldn't be another twenty minutes before she could make it to him. The seconds passed by slowly, teasing Toby that his girlfriend was in the country and within a mile of him after being so far away for a week.

Finally, after eons, he saw the top of a head of midnight black curls bobbing barely visible over the other travelers' shoulders. Their eyes locked and it only took about thirty seconds for her to get down the escalator. She threw herself into his arms, burying her face in his neck. He held her tightly to him, finally breathing in her smell again. She smelled like home, and the remaining scent of her on the pillows at home was nothing compared to the actual smell of her. He pulled her out of the way of everyone getting off the escalator and kissed her forehead.

"That's it? I've been gone for a week and all I get is a kiss on the forehead?" she teased.

"PDA…"

"Oh screw the PDA." She drew him down to her and planted her lips firmly on his. "Please don't let me leave again." She demanded once they broke apart.

"Not without me." She smiled brightly.

"Good. Can we go get my bags and go home? I want to sleep for a month." He kissed the side of her head after tucking her under his arm and walking with her towards the baggage carousel. Once home, Happy changed into and oversized shirt of Toby's while he stripped down to his boxers. He pulled her into their bed, pulling the fluffy white down comforter around them to seal off the rest of the world. She snuggled into his chest and wrapped her legs around his, getting as close to him as she could. He wrapped his arms around her and leaned his head against the top of hers.

"I missed you Hap. A lot." He murmured.

"I missed you too." She replied sleepily. The jet lag was taking its toll on her.

"I love you sunshine."

"I love you Toby." He smiled, hugging her tighter and drifting off into the best sleep he'd had in a week.
