"Hoping not to run into you actually." Olivia answered.

"That makes two of us." Emma said grabbing some napkins and drying her hands. "So you're the one that's been keeping Shalimar overnight." she said crossing her arms as well.

"Be careful Em, you're beginning to look a bit green." Olivia said with a small smile.

"I am not jealous."

"Of course you're not. If you were that would imply that you still have feelings for her. But you can't possibly. You are getting married again in a few days."

"Why? Why are you here Liv?" Emma asked already visibly irritated. And although she tried to hide it, Olivia could actually see shivers running up and down Emma's arms.

"I came here to eat. It is a restaurant after all." Olivia said walking towards her. She couldn't help but smile. She knew Emma very well and could tell that she was just about ready to jump out of her skin with how nervous she was.

"Nice to see you've still got that sharp wit."

"One of my most attractive qualities, don't you think?" Emma was squirming now, and Olivia was loving every moment of it. If she played her cards right, it wouldn't take long before Emma broke into a sweat, something that very rarely happened unless she was exercising.

"You are not going to get to me this time." Emma said backing away from her. Before Olivia could take another step someone was knocking at the door.

"Emma, are you okay in there?" It was Brennan. Olivia cursed under her breath while Emma thanked whatever guardian angel was helping her out.

"Yeah, I'm coming." She said sidestepping Olivia and opening the door.

"Ready to go?" Brennan asked.

"Yeah." Not daring to look back Emma rushed out of the bathroom practically dragging Brennan with her. Olivia followed them out and returned to her table where a very confused feral sat watching.

"What did you say to her?" Shalimar asked watching Emma leave.

"What makes you think I said anything at all?" Olivia said taking her seat.

"Answer the question."

"I was just saying hi to an old friend is all."

"Yeah well your greetings seem to make people head for the door." Shalimar said laughing.

"When did you say this wedding was?"

"Four days from now. Why?"

"That should give us just enough time."

"Enough time for what?" Shalimar asked.

"Enough time to break her."

At Sanctuary….

"Well it's about time you guys got here. You don't expect me to do all the work do you? And why is everyone's comm. link turned off?" Jesse asked the couple as they entered their home.

"What is it Jess?" Brennan asked.

"Adam wants us to go one of the safe houses. Apparently one of the mutants we put into the underground has gotten himself in a sticky situation."

"And that requires both of us?"

"You think if it didn't I'd be standing here waiting for you?"

"Good point, I'll go change." He said walking away. Jesse and Emma watched him take few steps, stop in mid stride, turn around and walk back toward them.

"I almost forgot." He said before enveloping Emma in a kiss that even made Jesse blush. When they were done, Brennan ran back towards his room and Emma stood there trying to compose herself.

"Emma, Adam wants you in the lab." Jesse said still red in the face.

"Yeah, okay." She said running her hand through her hair and heading toward the lab. Not knowing what to do with himself, Jesse just stood there with his hands in his pocket waiting for Brennan to come back.
