Maggie and Melissa said their goodbyes and expressed their love for each other with Jubal saying goodbye to Mel and that he too hopes they would meet in person soon. When Maggie ended the FaceTime she leaned over setting her phone on the coffee table and lay back against Jubal tilting her head to look at him as she reached up caressing his cheek

"I'm sorry you just kind of got ambushed by that phone-call" she leaned up pressing a soft kiss to his lips

Jubal smiled feeling Maggie's lips against his and he ran his hand along her arm to her neck resting his hand there caressing her jawline with his thumb "I should be the one apologising for interrupting your call with your sister.. I had just got dressed when I heard a female scream so I panicked that something had happened you"

"Unfortunately I wasn't lying when I told you that my sister was going to scream a lot and loudly" Maggie chuckled softly as she closed her eyes briefly enjoying Jubal's gentle touch on her neck and jawline

Jubal pressed his lips against Maggie's forehead leaving them there briefly before he held her as close to him as possible, she lay her head on his shoulder her forehead leaning against his cheek "So how are you feeling now that your sister knows about us?" He was running his hand along her back slowly while he was speaking

"It feels so nice to have told her, that's the first time I've actually said out loud that we are dating.. I may have also deserved the squeals that you heard" Maggie chuckled softly when she felt Jubal poke her side gently right where he knew she was ticklish

"What did you do to your poor sister?" He joked kissing Maggie's head running his hands along her back

"I may have dragged out telling her to the point where she was almost whining at me…. I couldn't help it" She chuckled softly kissing Jubal's neck

"Hmm sounds like the squeals should have been allowed then" Jubal couldn't stop smiling, it was like a small barrier had been lifted with Maggie telling her sister about them, she was even more affectionate with him right now and he honestly loved it.

"Hey you are suppose to be on my side mister not her's"

"Oh I am always going to be on your side honey, that won't ever change" Jubal started running his fingers through Maggie's hair slowly as she had taken it out of the ponytail

"Thank you for being here with me for FaceTime with Mel, I seen you freeze on the spot when you heard that I was on the phone to someone and that they had overheard your voice"

"I only froze because I wasn't sure if that person was someone you wanted to hear my voice, but when you held your hand out for me to join I honestly didn't even have to think twice about it Mag's. I know you wanted to tell Mel about us and that it was a big thing for you to be doing that so I wanted to support you with that in any way that I could… I'm sorry if me mentioning that you were obviously with my kids was overstepping though"

Maggie shook her head gently, her forehead still resting lightly against Jubal's cheek "I had already told Mel that you took me to meet the kids yesterday. I will never tell her anything about the kids that I know you or Sam would be uncomfortable with"

"I'm not worried about that Mag's, I trust you completely and I know that you trust Mel with your life so I have no worries at all about that.. I mean I know how much I trust my sister and she kept telling me that if I was a girl we would have been even closer because apparently sisters have the strongest sibling bond" Jubal chuckled softly

"Hmm your sister might be right on that one, sisters are like twins sometimes, we can tell what's going on with each other without having to actually say any words"

"Well speaking of Sister's how would you feel about me setting up plans for you to meet Jennifer, I know you have met the kids and we've told your sister so that's been a lot, if you want to wait a little bit before we meet to tell my sister I totally understand"

Maggie really was falling so in love with this man, he was so considerate about her feelings and about making sure she never felt rushed or pressured in to any steps in their relationship. Honestly him being so considerate and caring was making the big steps a little less scary knowing that he was right by her side. She pulled her head back from his cheek and moved her hand to his cheek to get him to look at her

"Make plans with your sister for whenever suits you and her, I will make sure that I am there. She's family Jubal, so if you want to tell her then I'm ready to be there by your side. I mean running after a suspect may feel a little less daunting right now" Maggie laughed softly "But I promise you that if you want to tell Jennifer then you have my full support honey"

Jubal leaned down kissing Maggie slowly, holding her as close to him as it was humanly possible to hold another person. He was starting to wonder if this woman would ever stop surprising him, he smiled at the thought as he knew that she could spend the rest of their life surprising him and it would just make him fall in love with her even more.

"I'll make plans with her to meet up, I'll tell her I've some news so that she'll know that I want it to be soon" He spoke softly as he was resting his forehead against Maggie's, he really did love their moments like this, they were becoming some of his favourite moments.

"Just maybe tell her that it's good news in case she starts to worry, you know with your history honey" Maggie spoke softly, she knew that when Jubal got help for his drinking that he had been honest with his family, he had to, so she knew that his sister had seen what he went through and she didn't want his sister worrying the whole time until that something was wrong

"See? What would I do without you because I would have just told her we needed to meet and she would just spend her time worrying until we met and then kill me for it being good news and not something bad" Jubal chuckled softly as he slid down against the arm of the couch a little so that he was laying down a little keeping Maggie in his arms, when he slid down she moved to his neck snuggling in pressing light kisses to his neck.

Jubal had his eyes closed enjoy Maggie's lips on his neck, running his fingers through her hair slowly, he was never one for just laying about like this but with Maggie he wasn't sure he wanted to move and he found himself looking forward to these moments more and more "You know you had a slight slip up today at Kristen's?"

Maggie wasn't sure she could remember the last time she felt this relaxed, her hand was resting on Jubal's chest so she could feel his heart beating under her touch and the way that she was laying on him she could feel his body rise and fall with his breathing and that was so relaxing to her. She was only stopped from falling asleep when she heard him speak

"Wait I did?" Maggie pulled her head from his neck to rest on his shoulder so that she could see Jubal's face

When he felt her move her head to his shoulder he turned his head to the side to look at her and he smiled at the brown eyes staring back at him "hmm mmm. When we were talking about Tyler and Abby I asked why you and Kris thought that Tyler was a heartbreaker…. your answer was that he looked like me" Jubal couldn't stop the smile on his face as he thought back to it

Maggie had no idea when she had slipped up, but the minute Jubal mentioned talking about Tyler being a heartbreaker she realised what she had said, and the surprise was clear on her face "Oh my god I didn't even realise that I said that, it was just instant reaction, because it is the truth"

"So that means that you have to think I'm good looking if you think that I would have been such a heartbreaker, or are you talking about a younger version of me only being the heartbreaker?" Jubal had a small smirk on his face, there was no way he was going to forget Maggie's response to him at Kristen's because her instinct reaction was that Tyler had to be a heart breaker if he looked like him

"Jubal if I didn't think that you were handsome then we wouldn't be laying here right now" She smirked playfully as she kissed him softly before pulling back to watch the Hazel eyes that were staring back at her "But I am talking about a younger version of you….and the current version being a heart breaker, I'm just hoping that the current version isn't interested in anyone else but the woman he has in his arms right now"

"So the grey in my hair and goatee don't bother you at all?" Jubal wasn't fishing for compliments from Maggie and it may have started out as him joking lightly but he was curious to find out because in his eyes Maggie could have any man that she wanted "Trust me Mag's I only have eyes for one woman and she happens to be a really beautiful, smart and remarkable woman"

Hearing him mention his hair and goatee had Maggie moving her hand to his chin where most of the grey in his goatee was "You happen to really suit the grey in both your goatee and your temples so don't even think about dying either because it just adds to your appeal" Maggie had a small smirk on her lips but in her eyes Jubal could see that she was being completely serious. His words about her being beautiful, smart and remarkable had her feeling like she wasn't sure she could breath, she seen the intense look in his eyes and she knew that he really meant them

"Yeah? So you like the grey then?" Jubal wasn't sure he would get used to the fact that Maggie was choosing to be with him but when he looked in to her eyes he seen that she really did mean her words "Well it turns out that two females have decided to steal my heart" he brushed Maggie's hair from her face tucking it behind her ear

"I like the grey, it's a part of you and it just shows you have lived a life" Maggie couldn't draw her eyes away from Jubal and she knew that a lot of women would have freaked out when he said that two females had stole his heart, and she seen the realisation set in with Jubal that he hadn't made himself clear, but before he could explain Maggie shook her head gently "I am more than okay with sharing your heart with Abigail… Like you said yesterday we're your girls"

Jubal really needed to work on explaining himself when he said things, he was just so lucky that Maggie knew him so well that she knew he meant her and Abigail, his eyebrows raised in surprise when he heard Maggie's comment about yesterday "Ah so you did hear me saying that then?" He seemed a little shy almost embarrassed that he had been caught out by her

"I did… It may have gone over a six year old's head but it didn't go over mine…I just didn't have a chance to bring it up until now"

"It slipped out honey, I was just so happy to be spending time with you and the...kids" He came so close to saying the people that he loved, he wasn't sure about how Maggie had felt about his slip up, this was the one possible downside to dating an agent they were good at showing no emotion at times if they needed to and right now Maggie was making sure her face gave nothing away

"I happen to love the way that it sounded when you said it" Maggie was whispering softly as she was closing the gap between them until her lips were pressing against Jubal's. She had felt him tense up a little when she mentioned about hearing him say 'my girls' but now she could feel him completely relax into the couch.

Jubal had relaxed the minute Maggie said that she loved how it sounded, but hearing the L word had his mind thinking about everything and about how he felt about the woman laying in his arms right now. He had known it before they had even started dating that he was in trouble because he knew he was falling in love with Maggie if he would just allow himself to and when she gave him a chance he allowed himself to fall. Watching Kristen and Stuart at the hospital and again today had Jubal not wanting to have any regrets. He pulled his head back a little so that he could look at Maggie, he caressed her cheek and he took a slow steadying breath as he had no idea how this was going to go

"I love you Maggie….I'm in love with you and have been for a while"

Maggie had no idea what Jubal was going to say to her but she could tell that something was on his mind and feeling and hearing him taking the slow steadying breath had her nervous about what it was that he was going to say because it was clearly something really important to him. She was not expecting those words to come out of his mouth and she seen the doubt in his eyes and the fear and panic when her response was to tense up a little. Jubal watched Maggie and his heart was beating so fast, when he felt her tense up he was convinced that he had just screwed up the best thing to happen to him since his kids were born. He was pulling away to move off the couch as he needed to get out of there.

Him trying to move jolted Maggie's brain awake as she realised she had just been staring at Jubal and not saying anything, she put her hand on his chest to stop him from moving, she took her own slow breath to steady her nerves as she looked at the man laying under her, the man that she was in love with

"I love you too Jubal"

Jubal was convinced his heart was going to beat out of his chest "Mag's you know you don't have to say it just because I did, I understand if you aren't…."

Maggie put her fingers against Jubal's lips to stop him from talking as she needed to say this to him before she lost her nerve

"I used to wake up every morning and the first thing that I would think of is Jason, I would briefly forget that he wasn't here anymore. Then you and I started dating and things changed because now I wake up every morning and the first thing that I think about is you, even when you aren't beside me. So I'm not saying it just because you said it, I'm saying it because it's the truth, I'm in love with you Jubal Valentine"

Jubal was one to hide his feelings, everyone that he ever worked with would confirm that but when it came to his personal life he was more open especially with people he really trusted, but hearing Maggie's words had tears in his eyes, he honestly didn't think anyone had ever said anything more loving to him than what Maggie had just said to him. He had no idea how he had been the one lucky enough to have her fall in love with him but he was so thankful that he was the one she was declaring her love for.

Jubal couldn't find the right words to say right now, he didn't trust his voice but he also couldn't think of anything that would express enough how much her words meant to him. Instead of speaking he leaned closer to Maggie, the tears still in his eyes as he looked in to her eyes and that's when he realised what the look was that he seen in her eyes earlier, it was love.

"I love you so much Maggie Bell"

Jubal whispered before he closed the tiny remaining gap between them and he kissed Maggie with all the love that he had been holding back because he didn't want to scare her but now he didn't have to hold back anymore. Maggie let out a soft sigh of contentment in the kiss, they both knew that this kiss was different, it even felt different, who knew declaring your love for someone could make kissing them feel so different and so perfect at the same time. Maggie only broke the kiss when they had to for air, both were breathing a little heavier after such an intense passionate kiss

"You know I could get used to being kissed like that by you" She whispered smirking lightly against his lips, her phone choose that moment to alert her to a message and Jubal reached over lifting it for her as he was closest to the coffee table, he knew that it might have been Kristen saying she needed something. Maggie took the phone and she opened the message and let out a soft chuckle but had a large smile on her face

"It seems my sister took a screenshot on our FaceTime call"

Maggie turned the phone to show Jubal the picture that Mel had sent of Jubal kissing Maggie's cheek and the large smile on Maggie's face with her eyes closed as she felt his lips against her cheek.

"You'll have to send me that picture…I love it…" Jubal couldn't help but smile seeing the picture, he made a mental note to thank Melissa for taking that picture because it was such a natural moment between them, that's what made him love it so much

"You might also want to read what she wrote in the text along with the picture"

Maggie tapped her screen so that the text would appear and she held it so that Jubal could read it 'Thought this was a photo that you both would like to have, and for god sake Maggie please tell that man that you are in love with him because he's clearly in love with you too'

"She could tell from just watching us on FaceTime?" Jubal honestly couldn't believe that she was able to tell

"Mel knows me, I don't put a guard up around her, I am laying in your hoodie and was laying against you with your arms around me while talking to her, that's not something I just do with anyone. And you didn't have a guard up either when you kissed my cheek and sat with me the way that we were"

"I didn't want to hide from your sister how I felt about you, I wanted her to know that I would look out for you and that you were with someone that cared about you a lot"

"And someone that loves me" Maggie had a large smile on her face as she said that

"I guess then that I did show your sister that you are with someone who loves you" He chuckled softly as he stole a quick kiss from her "You can tell her that we have already told each other how we feel"

"And let her think that it was because of her? Nope she can wait a day or two before I tell her that" Maggie laughed softly

"Okay see this is why she squeals so much at you when you FaceTime" Jubal shook his head laughing, he couldn't shake the smile off his face and he honestly didn't see that smile leaving anytime soon now that he knew that Maggie Bell was in love with him.
