"More than one person with the ability to rewind time, damn, never would have thought of that." Warren mused as the comment earned a smile from Max who could be found sitting in a chair right next to his hospital bed, she had rushed over to the hospital after her meeting with Keith, and had played the secret recording for him to listen to, and it had kept his undivided attention.
"That was my reaction, I thought I was the only one with this ability, but to find out there is at least two more with my exact powers." Max said, and that earned a head nod from Warren.
"'At least two more with my powers,' what the hell does that mean?" Warren asked, even though he was pretty sure he knew the answer to that question.
"I'm saying, there might be more than just the three of us, but there is no way to know for certain." Max said.
"Maybe it's better if we don't know," Warren began, and he had his girlfriends attention, "something's are not for us to know." Warren said wisely, and needless to say, Max agreed with her boyfriend.
"To change the subject, how's your wound feeling?" Max asked in a concerned tone.
"It burns and stings, but the pain medicine in my IV makes me able to ignore it," Warren said with a small laugh, which earned a smile from Max, "I'm sorry I forgot to duck." Warren said with a sad smile.
"Don't blame yourself, if anyone is to blame for you getting shot, it's me, after all I'm the one who told you to guard the front door, so I put you in the line of fire." Max said with a sad tone as she took her boyfriends hand into her own.
"I'll never blame you for anything Max, it's honestly my fault, I heard the first shot, and like an idiot I froze, even though I was trained to never freeze." Warren said with a grimace as he tried to think about the possible things he could have done differently had he not froze.
"It's natural to freeze and get afraid, especially when bullets start flying, I'll let you in on a secret, my first gunfight with a drug dealer about five years ago, I hesitated and-." she never got to finish due to Warren speaking up.
"I remember that case, I processed the evidence for it after all," Warren began as he reached unto his night stand and grabbed a small glass of water and took a sip, "Captain Burns nearly ripped you a new one for not taking the shot when you had the chance." Warren remembered.
"That's putting it lightly, she was pissed to say the least," Max began as she remembered the outcome of that case, "the guy had a gun and I froze the moment he turned it on us, I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for another officer, you remember officer Sanders?" Max asked Warren.
"Yea I remember him, he left shortly after that case didn't he?" Warren asked.
"Yea, he got accepted as a police captain in Ohio of all places, I remember his going away party, I remember how drunk you got." Max said in an amused tone as she couldn't help but smile as she remembered how wasted Warren had got at the party.
"I don't remember that part." Warren said in an embarrassed tone.
"I'm sure you don't with how drunk you where." Max teased, which earned an embarrassed smile from Warren.
"Hey, you got drunk as well if I remember correctly, you where busting out the vodka." Warren said with an amused look of his own, which earned an embarrassed look from Max, but she quickly composed herself.
"That's part of the reason I don't drink much anymore, but after dealing with this killer, I'll probably be driven to drink, that is if I catch the son of a bitch." Max said with a serious expression on her face.
"We'll catch him Max, I believe it, we've come close multiple times, luck can run out very quickly, and I believe that this killers luck is about to run out." Warren said with a positive tone, and that earned a small smile from Max.
"I love you so much Warren." Max said as she leaned down and placed a kiss on her boyfriends lips.
"I love you Max," Warren said once the kiss had ended, "Max I know this is not the time to bring this up, but I've been wondering, do you think we will be together, as in married?" he asked Max in a nervous tone, which earned a shocked expression from Max, for she had not been expecting this.
"I've wondered about that as well, Warren," Max said as she paused to take a long breath, "I'll make a deal with you," Max said as she took Warrens hand into hers and squeezed lightly, "we catch this son of a bitch, and then you ask me." Max said with a warm smile.
"There's another option," Warren said as he stood up from his hospital bed and reached into the night stand and pulled out a small brown box and got down on one knee, "I wanted to do this weeks ago, but with this whole serial killer, I never got the chance, but now I'll say it," Warren said as he opened the box and revealed an engagement ring, "Max Caulfield, will you marry me?" Warren asked a stunned Max, who proceeded to hug him.
"Yes." Max said simply as she kept hugging her boyfriend as she finally broke off the hug and Warren took her hand and slipped the engagement ring unto her left ring finger, and Gave Max big kiss, which she didn't try and stop, right now time itself seemed to stop, this moment could last forever and Max would not care one bit, right now there was no killer, there was just the two of them, and that was all they needed.
So Warren has proposed to Max, and she said yes, well I figured ya'll deserved a happy moment of peace, and trust me, there as a few more happy moments planned.
