"Hey you two where are you going?" Brennan asked with an smile as he saw Jesse and Hannah by the garage door.
"Out on the town." Jesse said with his left hand on the door knob.
"Cool let's go." Brennan said inviting himself along with his friends. "Let's see if Shamliar, Emma and Diana want to go also."
"Not this time Bren. Jesse and I are going out on the town this time." Hannah said with an smile at her friend.
Brennan had an look on his face as he finally got an clue. "Oh ok. Have fun you two." He waved and walked on down the hall.
"That was an close one." Jesse said softly as he opened the garage door. He allowed Hannah to go ahead of him. "Let's take the green Audi that your father just brought."
Hannah nodded and walked over to the passenger door and waited until Jesse unlocked it. She climbed in to the young man and buckled her seat belt.
"Ready to roll friend?" Jesse grinned as he buckled his own belt.
Hannah nodded.
Jesse turned the engine on and opened the garage door and zoomed out of the garage and jerked the wheel to the right so that they zoomed out onto the road without having to stop. He zoomed away from the Sanctuary in ten seconds flat.

"So Adam looks like your daughter and Jesse want some time alone today." Emma said with an small laugh as she walked into the lab.
"Oh and why do you say that?" Adam smiled up at the young woman who had stolen his heart. *I love you Emma.*
"Oh just the way Jesse zoomed out of the garage and down the street is all." Emma read his thoughts and an blush worked it's way up to her checks. "I love you also Adam." She walked over to where Adam was sitting and put her arms around his back. She bent her head so that she could kiss his forehead.
Adam loved the feel of Emma so close to him. They had just admitted their love for each other two months ago while they were alone in the lab late one nite. *The nite we got back from 1978.* He brought his hands up so that he could run them up and down her arms.
Emma moaned gently her pleasure at having Adam's hands on her skin. She was happy she decided to roll up the sleeves of her baby blue long sleeved sweater. *The one Adam loves me in.* She moved her head to the right side so that she could began to kiss the nap of his neck.
Adam closed his eyes at the pleasure of Emma's lips on his skin. He couldn't take it anymore so letting go of her arms he brought his hands down to her waist and pulled her around his chair so that she fell into his lap. He brought his hands up to her neck and began to move it so that it would meet his lips. He brought his lips to hers and they share an passionate longing kiss.
*********************
"So Hannah what do you think of your father and Emma?" Jesse asked looking sideways at the young woman.
"I love it. I'm so happy that daddy is so happy again. He has an light in his eyes that I have never seen before in my life. Mason once told me that the last time daddy had the light in his eyes was when my mother was still alive." Hannah said with an slight sigh.
"When did you and Eckhart talk?" Jesse demanded suddenly in an hard voice.
"Before Daddy and I left Germonax." Hannah said softly. She placed an gentle hand on Jesse's shoulder. "Don't worry Jesse. Mason can't hurt us anymore. Gabriel put him in the pod remember."
"Yes I remember. But that fucking bastard is still alive and much more dangerous than Mason Eckhart ever was." Jesse said brining his eyes back to the road.
Hannah sighed softly as she brought her hand back to her lap and turned her eyes back to the road ahead of her.
**********************
"Brennan you sly dog you." Shamliar laughed when Brennan fistened telling her about his mistake with Jesse and Hannah. "I'm sure BOTH of them were ready to kill you when you tried to tag along. And to bring the rest of us in is too much."
Brennan shrugged his shoulders and gave an lop sided grin. "Of course Emma would have backed out anyway. She and Adam don't want to be apart anymore than necessitously these days."
"Yea good for them hooking up finally. I was waiting for the day for them to confess their love for one another." Shamliar sat down on the kicten stool.
*Wonder if I should tell her how I feel about her.* Brennan wondered to himself as he looked at the young woman sitting before him.
"Have an seat will ya." Shamliar pointed to the stool next to hers. *When is the fool going to make the first move?* She was old fashioned enough to want to wait for the love of her life to say that he loved her first.
Brennan sat down and began. "Shamliar I ..... I will dammit I love you girl." He held his breath as he waited.
"About time boy. I love you too Brennan." Shamliar said softly as she leaned forward.
Brennan leaned forward and placed his lips onto hers gently.
Shamliar moved her body forward so that they had to deepen their kiss more.
Brennan brought his hands to cover her shoulders than pushed her to him knocking over her stool in the process.

"Sorry about being such an jerk about this issue Hannah." Jesse said softly as he pulled the car to the side of the road and turned the engine off.
"It's all right Jesse. I feel the same way you do. We all do." Hannah said as she unbuckled her seat belt. She opened her door and got out and shut the door. She walked over to the elbow of the road so that no passing cars would hit her.
Jesse sighed deep as he unbuckled his seat belt and put his hand on the door. "I wanted us to talk inside the car." He said softly to himself as he opened his door. He stepped out and looked to the right and saw Hannah looking westward. *But of course being outside talking is an much better idea.* He smiled inwardly and shut the door behind him. He walked over to Hannah and held out his right hand for her to take.
Hannah felt his movement and she turned her face to look at him. She smiled and took his hand in her left and together they made their way further into the openness that they found themselves in.
