White Collar owns everyone except Jamie... :(

They had started the movie again around eleven, and sometime between then and the end of the movie, Jamie had fallen asleep in Neal's arms. When the movie was over Neal gently slide out from under Jamie's sleeping form. After turning the TV off and draping a blanket over Jamie, he walked out of the room, ready to sleep.

Neal waved at the light brown haired girl with the green eyes and soft, full lips standing in the doorway of the plane. Waiting for him. Finally, after all the running, all the looking, he could finally be with her. Neal starts walking toward the plane, but stops halfway there, "Peter..." Neal doesn't get the chance to finish, the plane explodes, causing Neal to stumble forwards, and turning he tries to run forward, into the blaze. Neal screams, and the arms holding him back shake him gently saying, "Neal! Neal wake up, its only a drea..."

Neal wakes with a gasp, tears streaming down his face and his body shaking. There is one thing that's different than the previous nights he's woken up from a nightmare. Tonight, he's woken up in the arms of the girl in his nightmare. Neal gasps again and tears fill his eyes again.

"Neal?"

Neal's breathing slowed, "J-Jamie? Its really you, right?"

Jamie smoothed Neal's hair back and nodded, "Its me, Neal you had a bad dream. Your screaming woke me up. Are you okay?"

Neal leaned back against the headboard, was he okay? This was the first time in a very long time that the girl in his dreams hadn't been Kate. What Jamie had said the night before was true, his broken heart had begun to mend, "Yeah, I'm okay now."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Neal started shaking his head, but then stopped and nodded.

Jamie took Neal's hand and waited patiently.

"I-it started out like all my other nightmares, I'm back to the day Kate died. Right before it-it happened, I waved to Kate in the doorway of the plane, b-but this time, I waved to you. You were in the plane, not Kate...Anyway, I waved to you and started walking toward the plane, but when I got halfway there I turned to say something to Peter, a-and then the plane exploded. I screamed and woke up in your arms."

"Oh Neal..."

"Jamie...I don't know why you were in the plane instead of Kate, I can't explain my dream. All I know is you're here, now, and I'm okay with that." Jamie smiled and kissed Neal's forehead, "I'm okay with that, too. Now go back to sleep okay? You have to work in the morning."

Neal smiled and called after Jamie, "You know, the bed is far more comfortable than the couch."

Jamie looked back, "Neal..."

"Please?" He asked, flashing a smile.

Jamie sighed and walked back to the bed. As she crawled in she gave Neal a quick kiss, "Goodnight, Neal."

"Goodnight Jamie."

The next morning...

Jamie gently shut the bedroom door and walking into the living room, stopping when she saw the man sitting on the balcony. "Oh! Agent Burke...hi?"

"Jamie! I..I..uh didn't expect to see you here...Did you and Neal..."

"Oh, no, we didn't...he told me about his nightmares Agent Burke."

"Please call me Peter. I'm surprised he did, it took him months to tell me, by then he was falling asleep at his desk. Did he..."

"Yeah, he had one last night. It was...scary. His screaming woke me up. He seemed so upset, but...it must've been worse right after..."

"I'm sure it was, unfortunately I didn't know then."

"You weren't working with him then?"

"Not exactly, right after Kate died, Neal was arrested again. He had cut his anklet, and was a fugitive for over twenty four hours. The FBI decided that while I was under inspection they would put him back in a cell. I don't think he slept much. Having nightmares in prison doesn't help your position with the other...more permanent inmates."

"Poor Neal..."

"Neal's been through a lot, he doesn't seem to get lucky where it really matters. You...you are a new development."

Jamie blushed, "I care about him. This is pretty new for me, too. I've never cared this much about someone I met a week ago..."

"I felt the same way a week after I met El...You and El would be really good friends, we should double sometime."

Jamie smiled, "I'd love to, anytime."

"El gets back from Boston on Wednesday, so maybe sometime next week we can do it."

"Do what?" Neal asked, walking onto the balcony.

"Neal! Peter and I were just talking about how you and I and Peter and El should double sometime."

Neal wrapped his arms around Jamie, kissing her forehead lightly, "It sounds like a date," he said into her hair.

Peter smiled at his friend, he seemed so much better in such a short period of time. I hope he doesn't mess this up.

"Well, Neal I really should head out." For a split second Peter saw fear flash through Neal's eyes, but he recovered quickly.

Jamie noticed the fear, too, "Neal, I'll see you tonight okay?" She leaned up and kissed him gently, "Have a good day at work." Jamie walked toward the door picking up her bag on her way out. Calling behind her she said, "Peter! Take care of him!"

Peter laughed, shaking his head, "You definitely got a good one this time."

Neal didn't look away from the door, "Yeah, I know," he whispered.
