know what you think

Upon returning to sanctuary Brennan and Shalimar gave Adam the disks to analyze, which he was currently studying in the lab. Brennan wanted to talk about what was said at Lithe's office but Shalimar said she wanted to be alone and walked off.
[Shalimar's room]
Shalimar sat on her bed staring at the first ultrasounds of her and Brennan's child. Running her finger along the edge of the photo, she replayed Lithe's words over and over in her head. "Once the child was delivered, if the procedure was successful, then you be allowed to live so the procedure could be repeated" Placing the picture on her nightstand she laid back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
Brennan had been standing outside her door for the past 15 minutes, contemplating on whether or not to knock on the door or walk away. After thinking it over for another five minutes he lifted his hand and knocked on her door. He heard a muffled 'come in' and opened the door and moved into the room.
"Hey" softly he said
"Hey" she replied
"Look I know that you are upset.." he started
"You're right I am but not with you" she replied rising from the bed and moving to him "I'm sorry if I made you think that I was angry with you"
"It's ok I can only imagine what your feeling" he paused placing a hand on her cheek "but I'm here for you and I love you"
Touching his hand on her cheek she smiled "I know and I love you too"
"What do you say we get out of here? I know this great little restaurant because it has just occurred to me that we haven't celebrated yet"
She gave him a huge smile "how romantic" she replied wrapping her arms around his neck
He laughed "Good put on something nice and meet me in the garage" he kissed her quickly on the lips before leaving the room
After he left the room Shalimar took one last look at the ultrasound picture on the nightstand and moved to closet to get ready
[Restaurant]
During dinner they compared stories of their childhood, discussed baby names and even their fears about being parents.
Brennan felt in his pocket for the umpteenth time that night. He wanted everything to be perfect, from the words he would say to the tone in his voice he wanted to make sure it was special.
As the waitress placed their desserts on the table, Brennan decided it was time "Shal wait" he said stopping her from putting the spoon full of cake in her mouth. She looked at the cake to make sure there was nothing crawling on it when continued "there is nothing wrong with the cake, I need to ask you something"
Putting down the fork she looked at him and playfully smiled "this sounds serious"
"It is" he replied standing up and moving to the other side of the table. Reaching into his pocket he got down on one knee and looked up at her
Shocked Shalimar was speechless as she looked around the restaurant noticing all eyes were now on them
"Shalimar Fox" he started taking her hand and pulling the ring out of his pocket "I love you so much, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
Shalimar's bottom lip began to quiver and a lone tear rolled down her cheek as she watched him waiting for her answer. Smiling hugely she replied "yes"
Smiling he placed the ring on her finger and kissed her passionately. The entire restaurant applauded as they hugged and kissed again. "Do you like it?" he asked when he saw her looking at the ring
"It's beautiful, when and where did you get it?"
"It was my mother's. She gave it to me before she died and told me it was her gift to the woman I would one day marry"
"That's so sweet" she replied kissing him again "I love you" she said after breaking the kiss
"I love you too"

The End.. Again let me know if I should write a sequel. Thank you all for reviewing and I hoped you enjoyed the story as much as I enjoyed writing it.
