Cirque des Merveilles
Brennan took Shalimar's hand and stopped her from entering the kitchen. "Shal, wait, I've got something I want to show you before we eat."
She turned, wondering what he was talking about. When she met his eyes she could tell he was up to something. "Brennan?" she questioned.
"Yes?" He looked at her innocently.
"What's going on?" she asked stepping into his arms with a slight smile.
He grinned and leaned his forehead against hers as he wrapped his arms around her. "It's a surprise."
She giggled. "What is it?"
"If I told you it wouldn't be much of a surprise, now would it?" he replied as he started pulling her toward the training room.
Before they entered Brennan took her arms and stopped her. "Close your eyes."
"Ohhh, Brennan," she whined playfully.
"Come on, Shal, please," He gave her a pout.
Shalimar sighed, "Fine," and shut her eyes.
Brennan took her hands and walked her into the training room. His heart jumped with excitement. He couldn't wait for her to see it. "Stop," he said releasing her hands.
"Can I open my eyes yet?" she asked impatiently.
"Not yet,"
"Oh, Brennan, hurry,"
He smiled as she bounced on her heels.
Suddenly Shalimar felt a pair of strong hands on her hips lifting her up. Instinctively she reached for the arms and held tightly.
Brennan chuckled. "Relax, Shal,"
She felt her legs bump something and then Brennan sat her down. He took her ankles and slipped her shoes off, before putting them on the floor.
"Brenn?"
"Alright, open your eyes."
She did and she gasped as she noticed that she was sitting on a trampoline.
Brennan smiled as her eyes lit up. "Do you like it?"
She squealed and got up to jump. "Brennan, it's wonderful!"
He watched as she flipped forward and backward. "I was going to get a trapeze, too, but there was nowhere for it."
She smiled and stopped jumping. "Come on."
Brennan looked at her outstretched hand and shook his head. "No,"
"Oh, come on, you chicken," she teased.
"Chicken, huh?" He raised an eyebrow and watched as she nodded. "I'll show you chicken,"
Shalimar smiled as he took his shoes off and climbed up. She giggled as he wobbled for a moment and then caught his balance. They gradually started bouncing together and then full out jumping as time went on.
Brennan jumped toward her making her bounce even higher as they both landed. He laughed as she let out a shriek. Stepping under her he waited for her to come down within reach of his hands.
"Move!" She yelled not wanting to land on him. She felt his hands slip up the top part of her thighs to her hips as he tried to catch her.
He succeeded in doing so, but he leaned back too far and ended up falling to his back, bringing Shalimar down with him.
She laughed at him as he groaned and then rolled to put her head on his shoulder. "Hey, Brenn,"
"Yeah?"
"How did you know?"
"How did I know what?"
"That I wanted one?" Her heart jumped as he pulled her closer and placed a kiss on her head.
"I saw your eyes light up when you were looking at them in the circus. I haven't seen you that way for a while...so happy or excited about something. It makes me smile when I see you like that."
Shalimar looked up and gazed at him for a moment before leaning over to place gentile kiss on his lips. "Thank you,"
He smiled and pulled her down for another kiss. "I love you,"
She blushed and looked away for a second before returning her gaze to him. "I love you, too."
I hear that they are debating on wither or not to run season 4...If they decide to run it I'll try to do another story like this.(If you guys want.) Since I'm not sure if we'll get the end of the big cliffhanger that is supposed to be in the final episode of Season 3 I will try to do something for it...but it could take a while. Hope you liked this and thank you so much for the reviews!
