[Sanctuary-two days later]
Brennan sat at the edge of the meditation pond thinking about everything that had happened in the past three days. He and Shalimar had finally gotten together only to later find out it wasn't real. The whole situation made him question whether or not what happened between them in that other reality actually happened.
To be honest he hadn't talked to Shalimar since Adam released him from the lab. Granted she was unconscious most of that time but it shouldn't have made a difference. He was sure the only reason he wasn't talking to her was because he was afraid. Afraid that what he felt for her had almost caused him to lose her and afraid of what the strong feelings he had for her would make him confront
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that Emma had no trouble sneaking up on him. She knew he was confused and hurt. She now understood why those two people didn't want to leave the reality they had created; they were happy. Brennan had finally gotten what he had always wanted and then there was everyone else ready to rip it away from him.
"Adam released Shal from the lab" he said she sat down next to him
"Yeah I know" he replied never taking his gaze off the calm water
"It was real Brennan. As real as the two of you wanted it to be that's how real it was"
"Please don't read me"
"I'm not. When I linked with the two of you that last time I was exposed to everything you experienced"
"What do I do?"
"This may sound like a corny line from a movie but do whatever your heart tells you to"
He laughed for the first time in days "you're right that does sound corny"
"Yeah well what can I say? I'm a romantic at heart. She's in her room, go talk to her" she said before getting up and leaving him alone

[Shalimar's Room]
Shalimar was so grateful when Adam told her she could leave the lab. She needed time to think and that was the last place one could do such a thing. So here she was sitting on her bed actually unable to think about what she had wanted to think about the entire time she was cooped up in the lab. "The irony of it all" she thought to herself
Laying down on her bed she began to finally think about what happened between her and Brennan while in the other reality or what ever it was called. A small smile crept to her face when she thought about the wonderful moments she spent in his arms. How his laugh made her happy and how his moans made her aroused.
The smile slowly faded when she thought about how distraught he was when he she asked him to let her go. The lack of communication between them in the last three days made her wonder if he resented her for making him do it or if he thought she was questioning how deep his feelings for him ran. She was brought out of her reverie by a soft knock at her door. "It's probably Emma checking up on me again" she thought as she rolled over and faced the door
"Come in"
She was however pleasantly surprised when Brennan's head appeared around the door and not Emma's "Hey" she said quickly rising up off the bed
"Hey, I'm not disturbing you am I?"
"No not at all, come in"
"Good I wanted to talk you about.you know" he said as he entered the room and closed the door behind him. The last thing he needed right now was for the others to hear their conversation
"Ok"
"I'm sorry for how I acted it was.."
"Hey you don't have to apologize. Brennan what you were willing to do for me was the single most wonderful thing that anyone has ever done or been willing to do for me in my life"
"It's just.. I have never cared about anyone like this before and I really want to give us a chance. That is if you are willing?"
A huge smile crossed her face "I would love to give us a chance" she replied walking over to him "but I thought that what happened back there would have proven that" she said before kissing him on the lips.
"Yeah well sometimes I can be a little slow" he joked after breaking the kiss. He felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders that this woman could ever love him as much as he loved her
"Hmm I know"
"About what happened"
"It was real to me and it always will be" she replied wrapping her arms around his neck "but if you want convincing then I would be happy to convince you" when she was finished she kissed him hard and passionate. After breaking the kiss she led him to her bed and showed him just how real she thought their first time together was, over and over again.
The End....Hope you guys liked the story and thanks again for all the reviews.
