Skay,
this is chapter two of Forever And Always. I might continue,
but
if you review then tell me if it should be more angst or my
happy
ending twist (because any fic without them together in the end
makes
me cry). I'll put it on as soon as I can get my
computer
to open windows from links (its being stupid). Enjoy!

Eames contemplates movement.

NO (for once)

I forgot what else goes here, but fill in the blanks.
He
wasn't moving. His giant body that was constantly in
motion-
touching,
sniffing-was completely still. His long, strong fingers
finally
at rest, and his eyes finally not watching. He had always
liked
to watch.
She
was there with him. Her scent found its way into his brain and
forced
his eyes open. Alex…One hand strayed up to her face and
gently
stroked her cheek with an unbelieving and hesitant air around
it.
Bobby found her hands tangled in his shirt and gazed down at
them.
Her ring.
His
brilliant mind no longer working in its mysterious ways. No more
revelations,
or three AM calls about answers he pulled out of no
where.
No more dark eyes starring at her, then darting away in the
embarrassment
of being caught. No more Bobby.
The
unwanted movement elicited a small groan from Alex, and Bobby
feared
her awakening. Her honey brown eyes that would say everything
she
felt. But before he could one strong arm curled around his neck
as
she yawned into his shoulder. Her eyes opened, and she breathed
again.
No
more Bobby to protect her, and to remind her that she wasn't
alone.
No more Bobby to make her smile with another quirk that had
grown
on her over their years together. No more Bobby and no one
left
to hold her.
"Boobbbyyy…"
She somehow managed to draw his name out as she nuzzled
against
his chest, and settled back into his arms. Then she spoke.
How
damning would her words be? As damning as that invitation had
been?
Her voice was little more than a whisper. "Can we make waffles
for
breakfast?"
Bobby
never hurt her; he just loved her. But now, now she could feel
the
pain mingling with her blood and settling into her bones. Bobby
wouldn't
have hurt her like Arthur. He would have loved her-He had
loved
her, but now she'd never know his love.
God,
waffles.' He reached up and stroked her hair. "Of course,
Alex."
She smiled up at him and he smiled back. He had Alex. She was
his,
and no one could take her away from him now.
But
now there was no Bobby. No Bobby, and that thought made the very
marrow
of her bones burn. She fingered the ring on her finger and
gently
caressed the three diamonds inlaid in the gold. She stroked
his
hair softly and whispered, "I'm sorry Bobby. You were so much
better
than Arthur. You would've only loved me. I'm sorry Bobby."
One
tear traced a salty line down her cheek. "Forever and always
will
I love you."
