"GAGE!!!"

"Syd read my words"

"GIVE ME THE PEN!!"

"read them"

Syd looked down irritated.

'I Love You'those were his words she couldn't believe it and dropped the notebook.

Gage looked at Syd who stood with her head down looking at the floor.

Syd kept her head down and walked over to his couch where she sat down looking at her lap.

"Syd???"Gage stood behind her a while then walked around the couch.

By now she had her head in her hands and was sobbing out of control.

"Syd please don't cry....I'm sorry"He got on his knees infront of her.

The closer he got the more she seemed to cry.

"Syd...."

"Gage...please just give me a minute??"She said still crying.

"ok"

After a few minutes he started talking again.

"I'm sorry Syd I didn't want to make you cry"He said softly running his hands in her hair.

"Please Syd it's ok I'm sorry I take it back"

After some time Syd looked up she was still crying but she was smiling.

Not really knowing what else to do she reached for him and he picked her up in a hug.

"I love you too"She whispered softly once he picked her up.

Smililng he set her back down on the couch and sat next to her.

He put his right hand on her face and wiped away her tears.

"I love you so much Syd"

she started to cry again.

Gage woke up when he rolled off the couch onto the floor.

He sat up and saw Syd sleeping peacefully on the couch.

Remembering what had happenned before they fell asleep he smiled and brushed her hair from her eyes.

He loved her so much she was the best thing that ever happened to him.

Careful not to wake her up he lifted her off the couch.

*** There is something that I see in the way you look at me there's a smile there's a truth in your eyes what an unexpected way on this unexpected could it be this is where I belong it is you I have loved all along***

*

Syd was sitting at her desk doing her paper work.

Glancing over to Gage's desk now and then she would try not to cry as she put her head back down.

Everybody knew about their 'confession' and everybody knew that they were pretending not to be in love with each other and it was all a load of crap.

Tirvette and Walker exchanged glances when Syd finally put her head on her deak to depressed to hold it up anymore.

*

*** There's no more mystery it is finally clear to me you're the home my heart's searched for so long it is you I have loved all along***

*

Gage stepped into HQ and saw her sitting at her desk head in her hands.

Syd looked up and saw him.

Walker and Trivette both noticed her weak smile when he stepped into the room.

Gage walked over to her desk aware of all the eyes on him.

*

*** There were times I ran to hide afraid to show the other side alone in the night without you but now I know just who you are and I know you hold my heart finally this is where I belong it is you I have loved all along***

*

Syd saw him come toward her and started pretending to look at a paper.

Everybody watched as they waited to see what would happen next.

Gage slowly walked to her desk.

*

*** there's no more mystery it's finally clear you're the home my heart searched for so long it is you i have loved all along***

*

He reached her desk and walked to stand in front of her he pulled her chair around so she was looking at him.

"Syd......I love you I truly do"

"Really??"

"really"

"I love you too"

"do me a favour??"

"yeah"

"stand up and take my hand"

"OK"she did as he told her clueless as to what he was doing.

"Ok.."After taking her hand he pulled out a small black box and got on one knee.

*

*** Over and over I'm filled with emotion your love it rushes through my viens and I'm filled with the sweetest devotion as i look into your perfect face***

*

"Gage...no...don't do this hear in front of everyone"Syd said looking around.

"Syd will you marry me and make me the happiest man alive?"He asked ignoring her plea.

"......yes..."She managed to say before bursting into tears.

Gage smiled and stood up slipping the ring on her finger.

Being sweet he reached out to wipe away her tears.

Syd leaned over and kissed him for their first REAL kiss.

Gage ran his hands into her hair and she left hers on his chest.

The entire ranger headquarters all began to clap.

*

*** There's no more mystery it is finally clear to me you're the home my heart's searched for so long and it is you i have loved it is you I have loved it is you I have loved all along***
