"I'm going to need a divorce- I'm pregnant"
Happy didn't look towards Toby as she spoke to Walter, she was uncomfortable with emotions as it was- and could imagine how many were across his face right now. She expected Walter to say no- or look angry. But instead he looked resigned. "OK" he said simply and started to organise the mess from where Toby had dived at him.
"What are we going to do about immigration?" Sly whispered to Toby who was now distracted by Paige furious typing away at her laptop. "I dont knooow. Paige are you alright?" Toby asked looking at Paige. Instead of answering him Paige picked up her mobile to leave a voicemail "Tim call me back when you've got a chance we need to talk".
It was then that Toby clicked to what she was doing. "I think our Genius Whisperer had a plan!" he announced loudly. This got everyone's attention, the team all gathered around her.
"Right" she spoke looking down at the ground. I've figured out a way of keeping Walter here but it's basically a reset" Walter raised his eyebrow "so we renew our vows? That doesn't help Happy" he frowned. Toby smirked knowing where this was really going "No I mean you get married again. You both go for a quickie divorce and on your divorce papers inconsolable differences. Before that is finalised create a social media profile- announce that you're engaged and start working towards actually appearing like you are in love in public instead whatever this is" she grimaced while looking at Walter and Happy's honeymoon photos. "You'll need to put extreme effort in as they'll make sure to send a proper ICE employee this time who isn't just looking forward to retirement."
If anything Walter appeared more confused. "and who am I supposed to marry to achieve all that then?" he asked as Toby started to squeal like a teenager damn near jumping up and down "isn't it obvious what she's saying 197?" Toby replied grinning "She's means-" "Me" Paige finished.
Walters head was swimming. She wanted to marry him to save Scorpion yes, but to have them act like husband and wife? to announce to the world that she was his? To be able to hold her and kiss her? His mind started to drift into forbidden territory. To other things he wanted to do with her- to her. Unconsciously he licked his lips as his eyes glazed over.
Fortunately Paige didn't notice as she was back to her laptop writing up her plan to save Walter from loosing his green card status.
"We need to put some money in a joint account, and buy coupley things with it, keeping the receipts of course- tickets for days out, meals, hotel bookings, pregnancy tests, condoms that sort of thing" she said. The last three things got through to Walter who now looked like he was going to have a heart attack. He had to sit down where he was struggling to breathe. "you'll have to move in of course. Start packing up your stuff tonight. We are going to have to share a bed but I'm OK with that if you are" she continued, unaware that Walter was damn near hyperventilating "and you are going to have to get comfortable with touching and kissing me in public. Do you think you can handle that?" She looked over to him "Walter.. are you listening?" Walter nodded and he got up and ran to the loft "Toby! Get me some boxes!" he yelled.
"I think he's ok with that" Toby smirked. Paige nodded "I'm going to head home and start making some room, tell him to meet me there"
As she left Happy looked towards the others concerned. "It's not going to be like me. He's going to have trouble separating fiction from reality" Toby shook his head "I don't think it matters too much. Because so will she. If I were still a betting man I'd bet $1000 that she uses one of those tests within the first couple of months of buying them" he grinned.
