A/N: I couldn't leave you hanging there so I decided to update this small chapter sooner as planned.

As Booth waited for her answer, a big wave crashed over him and instead of fighting it, he went under, trusting the woman he'd only loved for a few days, but felt as if he'd known her his entire life.
Struggling for air, fighting the current as he desperately tried to find his way back to the surface, he suddenly grabbed onto something. Or someone.

He clung to his savior and when he felt soft lips brushing over his, her sweet breath filling his lungs, he crushed her to him, stealing her oxygen.

He was expecting her to drag him back to the surface, so when she pulled him down further, he struggled for a moment, but gave in rather quickly.
She wouldn't hurt him. She wouldn't. He trusted her.

As his struggles died down she slowly pulled him deeper underwater, wanting to show him the sea-life.

She released him and he panicked for a moment.

When he realized he was still breathing - which should've been impossible, considering they were submerged into the water - he calmed down again.
He followed her hesitantly, but more determinedly when she pointed out the small, curious fish swirling around them.

Swimming further she noticed a few seahorses and motioned him to come further along.
As soon as he did she was startled by a school of discus fish that raced past them, quickly followed by a red lionfish.

Noticing her fish-like variant, her otherwise floaty fins on her hips shot up, revealing the poisonous spikes and making sure she was marking her territory.

Booth was startled when the small, colorful fish raced past them.
He squinted as a slightly bigger fish followed and he took in the similarities between the fish and his Brennan.

His heart skipped a beat as - her fins, he supposed - unfurled and he was caught by her true, natural beauty, witnessing it for the first time.

Soon the fish swam off leaving them in the warm ocean water she turned back to him, her eyes widening slightly as a huge manta ray appeared behind him.

Booth, still entranced by her beauty slowly approached her, taking in her beauty.

When their surroundings darkened slowly but surely, Booth turned back and found himself frozen in place as a huge monster approached them at a steady speed.
Swimming up to the manta ray she slowly petted it, hoping to show him the fish wasn't dangerous like he thought.
When she touched the giant thing, he smiled. Maybe it wasn't a monster, maybe it was just some kind of fish.

When another creature approached them, he reached out to touch it. To his surprise, the fish blew up like a balloon and he recoiled quickly.

He turned around and joined Brenn again as the giant fishlike creature swam away.

He held her close as she showed him around.

Somehow, her kiss had given him breath that filled his lungs and continued to fill it no matter how much he exhaled underneath the water.

She showed him spectacular riffs, beautiful under water life and the most magnificent creatures.

He felt her body relax against his own and held her a little closer, feeling the love flow from him to her.

Taking a hold on his hand she pulled him along, towards what had been her most favorite place of the entire ocean.

Careful to avoid any sharp edges she lead him into an underwater cave where beams of light shone down on the surface but more importantly, it had a clear view of the shore and land.
She showed him the cave and they emerged from the ocean, so that just their heads were sticking out of the water.

He could see by the smile on her face that she loved this place. And when he took a look around he smiled too.
"The best of both worlds," he smiled as he turned to her. "Thank you for showing me this. I wish I could stay here with you," he told her truthfully.

"I'm afraid that's not a possibility." She replied, the joy disappearing from her face and seriousness took place.

"Why not? You gave me your breath, I could've stayed under water for a couple of hours more. At the least."

He noticed how serious she was and turned to her as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Why not? You can tell me," he encouraged.
"I'm- I'm dying, and I'm sure that before the sun comes up again, I'll cease to exist."

A/N2: So sorry for the evil cliffhanger but I promise you'll get more soon! Anyway leave a review, that makes us happy :D
