~* The Hand of God *~
Brennan and Shalimar sat in the back of the Double Helix taking in everything that had just happened. "Shal," Brennan called. She looked over at him breaking her stare at the floor. "It was his decision. There was nothing we could do."
"He was just trying to find a way to live with his power," she replied in a shaky whisper.
Brennan put his head down. "Yeah, like all of us," he paused and then smiled for a moment before lifting his eyes to meet hers. "You were ready to die for me today."
She forced a smile as she gazed over at him. "We risk our lives for each other all the time."
"No, that was more than risk. You were going to sacrifice yourself for me," Brennan said as he gazed back at her.
"Seemed like a good idea at the time," She tried to smile again but it didn't exactly work. She was glad that Brennan was alright, but she had just done what she told Kristoff she wouldn't do. She asked him to use his powers to save Brennan's life. It cost him his own life and she felt like it was her fault.
"Thanks," he whispered.
Shalimar stood and then slowly knelt down in front of him, taking his hands in hers. "Brennan, I would do anything for you, even if it meant giving my life."
"I know," He bent over a little and wrapped his arms around her bringing her into a tight embrace. "and I would do the same for you," he whispered, placing a tender kiss on the side of her neck.
Shalimar pulled out of the hug and just gazed up at him. Her hand subconsciously went to his chest and her eyes followed as she gently touched the place where his wound was. Tears welled up in her eyes and started to trickle down her cheeks.
Brennan took her hand and brought it to his lips, gently kissing it. His heart broke as he watched her cry. She leaned into his arms again and let her tears out as she wrapped her arms around his waist and clung to him. "God, I almost lost you, today," she sobbed. The realization had finally hit her and it scared her.
Brennan put his hand behind her head and his free arm slid behind her shoulders bringing her closer. "I know how you feel. Truthfully I didn't know if Lexa and I were gonna get to you in time," he paused. "It scared me. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you." As he spoke he realized just how close he had actually come to losing her as well. His attempt to keep his own tears back failed as he tightened his hold on her.
Shalimar felt warm wet drops fall onto her hair and she looked up only to find that he was crying with her. She pulled away and drew in a shaky breath as she reached up and wiped a tear away from his cheek.
Taking his index finger he reached out and brushed a tear off of each cheek before letting his hand rest on the side of her face. Shalimar nuzzled her head into his hand and kissed his palm before sliding her arms around him again.
They stayed in a tight embrace for a moment completely silent until Shalimar spoke. "Brennan?" she called in a whisper.
"Yeah?"
"I... I love you." He didn't answer so she looked up, letting out a relieved breath when she saw the warm smile he was giving her.
He leaned down and covered her lips with his own giving her a soft kiss. "I love you, too," he replied.
Shalimar smiled and stood as Brennan started to move back on the bench like seat. Reaching out he took her hand and pulled her to sit in-between his legs. Shalimar sat down and leaned back resting her head on his shoulder. She smiled as Brennan's arms came around her and she tilted her head up to kiss him.
Jesse and Lexa sat in the front of the Double Helix and watched the scene for a moment before exchanging glances and smiling.
Shalimar closed her eyes as she relaxed in his arms. All her fears vanished as he held her close and kissed her head. The fact that they were ok had set in for both of them and now that they had finally revealed their feelings for each other, they knew everything would be alright.
~*~* Well there is the alternate end scene to that episode. Hope you liked it. I think there will be a few others, but I have to finish them first. Please review!*~*~
