Sorry about the format of the story I just checked it and I'm not sure what it is. Well let's

give this chapter a go. Thanks again for all the reviews.

Chapter 3

(Alaska)

Brennan, and Shalimar landed in some small town in Alaska near the Canadian border. They got out

of the Helix, and were shocked at how beautiful the cottage was.

The cottage was almost like the one Brennan owned. It was hidden by huge snow covered trees. The

driveway was really long, and only somewhat ploughed but the cottage was gorgeous non the less.

There were two Jet Ski's, and Aztec as well as brand new navy blue Durango. Brennan and Shalimar

walked in side, and Brennan sat down their luggage as Shalimar just stopped, and looked around.

"Bren this place is amazing." Shal said as Brennan headed towards the master bedroom at the end

of the hall. "We might actually have a little fun while we're here." she continued as she took of her jacket and hung it up.

"Shal you have to see this." Brennan called from the end of the hall.

Shalimar finished putting her jacket on the coat rack, and walked towards the bedroom. When she

entered the room her jaw just dropped.

"I know, fireplace, and all." Brennan said as picked her up, and spun around.

Shalimar sat on the bed but not for long, as it was so comfortable she ended lying down.

"Bren?"

"Yeah."

"You have to lay down on this bed. I thought your bed at Sanctuary was comfy but this bed puts

yours to shame."

Brennan walked over to the bed after starting up the fireplace. He crawled over her purposely to

make her laugh. Shalimar turned on her side, and watched the fire as Brennan got comfortable

behind her, and wrapped one arm over her waist, in a spoon like position.

"I love you," he said out of the blue.

"I love you to." Shal said as she turned her head and gave him a kiss.

"I don't want to get up but we have to do a lot so let's get a head start so that we have more

time for us later on." Brennan told Shal very professionally. "I'll go send the Helix back before

Adam goes all crazy, while you try and get up." For his smart remark he got a playful smack in

the head as he got out of bed.

While Brennan sent the Helix back to Sanctuary Shalimar unpacked her back in the master bedroom,

and was about to call Adam to check in, and make sure everything was okay when Brennan walked

in shivering, and covered in snow. Shalimar decided to hold off calling Adam, and make Brennan

a cup of hot chocolate instead.

When Shalimar got back into the living room Brennan was on the recliner looking really cold.

"Is it that cold out?" Shal asked handing Brennan the hot chocolate, then turning on the

fireplace.

"What was your first guess." he answered half serious, half jokingly.

"Ha, ha, ha. Looks like someone gets grumpy when he's cold."

"Well then why don't you make me a happy man and come sit with me. This chair is big enough for

the two of us."

"Oh it is now." Shalimar toyed with him as she leaned over about to kiss him but instead she

plopped down beside him in the chair.

"See I told you it was big enough, and that was mean just to let you know."

It was then that phone on the end table next to Brennan rang.

"Must be Adam." Brennan said as he answered the phone. "Hello" he greeted.

"Brennan, how is everything going so far?" Adam asked on the other end of the phone.

"Really well, this place is amazing."

"It is indeed."

Shalimar got up off Brennan, and told him she was going to take a shower, and told him that if

he was still cold he better hurry up. Getting her drift Brennan told Adam that he was tired, and

they would call him back in the morning.

"Well then where's Shalimar?"

"Already sleeping, listen Adam I'm really drained so talk to you tomorrow." Brennan hung up the

phone, and basically ran to the bathroom where Shalimar was waiting for him.

(Cottage - 1 hour later)

Shalimar, and Brennan were out of the shower, and was Shalimar was in the bedroom watching

television when Brennan walked in with two hot chocolates. He gave one to Shal, and put his on

the nightstand on his side of the bed.

"What's this for?"

"Just returning the favour." Brennan answered as he got into bed next to Shal.

Shalimar put down her hot chocolate, and rolled over so she was facing Brennan.

"What?" Brennan asked seeing that look in Shalimar's eyes.

"Put down your hot chocolate," she said.

"Okay"

As soon as he put his cup down Shalimar straddled his hips and started to tickle him. Brennan

couldn't take it anymore, he rolled them both over so he was now on top and pinned Shalimar's

arms above her head. After he gave her a sweet kiss he got up.

"Where the hell are you going now?"

"To my room."

"Nope your room is right here so cut the gentleman crap, and get back over here."

"Shal I shouldn't we both now what happens when we end up in the same bed."

"That's the whole point Bren, and you said you'd keep me warm so get your cute ass back her

cause I'm starting to get cold."

"Fine if you insist, but I did say I would keep you warm didn't I." Brennan was more than happy

to keep Shal warm.

As he got back into bed the phone rang but Brennan told Shalimar to ignore it since she was the

one that wanted to "cuddle".

(Sanctuary)

The phone rang, and Adam picked it up.

"Hello."

"Adam no one answered the phone."

"It's okay we'll put the plan into action tomorrow just be ready to do some comforting huh."

"Sure thing Adam."

"Goodnight Richard, you're going to need as much sleep as you can get."
