Maggie's POV: Isobel had stayed in the room for another hour before heading back to 26 Fed. Scola and Tiffany had only a few minutes to stay since they had paperwork. I had some as well. But right now, I wanted to stay with OA. "So, Mags. There's uhm, been something I've been meaning to tell you," he said to me. This was the moment. "I've been meaning to tell you something as well," I say.
"Who wants to go first?" he smirks. "I-i. What if we have the same thing to tell?" I stammer. So he went first. He admitted it, his feelings for me. "I-, I feel the same way, but I've been stupid and never told you," I admit. I couldn't continue. The next thing I knew, OA's lips were connecting with mine. "I have loved you since we first met Maggie Bell," he whispered against my lips. I smiled against his lips and kissed him softly. He cupped my face into his hands and brushed a piece of my hair away.
"How are we going to tell Isobel and the others?" he asks me. "Isobel kind of already knows because I left 26 Fed about 45 minutes after finding out you were abducted. I was selfish about that and left without nobody knowing," I said. "No one else knows?" he asks me again. "No, Isobel has a hint at that. I'm going to talk to her tomorrow," I say. "But the others," he started. But I stopped him. "They'll figure it out eventually. We'll keep it between us for now. And Isobel," I chuckled.
"That's fine with me," he told me, kissing me gently on the lips again. "So, we're making this official then?" I chuckle against his lips. He parted away from me and looked into my eyes. "We are," he whispers, brushing hair out of my face. He scooted over some in his bed so he could make room for me. I carefully climbed in with him. He wrapped his arm around me and I rested my head against his chest. I felt his lips brush against my hair. I smiled to myself.
OA and I were officially together. His breathing blew my hair softly. I could feel it. I somehow fell asleep in his arms. Scola and Tiff had never come back to the hospital. Neither did Isobel or Jubal. I woke up an hour later, to still being in his arms. And he was fast asleep as well. I eased myself out of his arms and grabbed my jacket. I leaned down and kissed his head. "I love you," I whispered. I could tell that he smiled a little, but I didn't know if it was a dream or not.
I pulled his phone out of his belongings bag that Jubal had sneaked in there. I spotted it when I first walked into the room. I sat it on the table that sat above his hospital bed. I grabbed a piece of paper from my pocket and wrote a little note. "Call me when you wake up," is what I wrote. I left and closed his door softly so I would disturb him. I walked into my apartment and took a deep breath.
I slipped off my shoes yet again and hung my coat up. I never made it to 26 Fed, it was already dark by the time I got home. I spent all my time at the hospital with OA. We both admitted our feelings and I was happy. Happier with him. He was the only one that comforted me when I needed him the most. I missed Jason, but I became happy with OA. He was the only thing that kept me sane.
I was even thinking about kids with OA someday, but we would get there eventually. But with him in the hospital, I didn't want to discuss it right now. I wanted to wait until he was either here at my place, or his. We wouldn't even discuss who was moving in with who until we got further down the road. I was in my happy place, with him; and the FBI. I smiled to myself as I slipped on another one of OA's army shirts that had made its way to my apartment when either he was staying here or I was over there.
I even wanted to marry this man one day, but we would discuss that later down the road. The timing wasn't perfect, since we only became official about a couple of hours ago. There were a lot of things that we had to discuss. But the time wasn't right. And after all, we would get there when we did. We were still navigating. Navigating us and our relationship and a way to manage it when he was back to work at 26 Fed. I was hoping when I talked with Isobel tomorrow morning that she would let us stay partners. Because if she didn't let us, I didn't know what I would do if I was partnered with Scola or Tiff.
