Author's Note: This was a request for Parker and Eliot's anniversary from wishyouknew222. I'm sorry that I didn't go overboard on the fluff, but I felt like this event should be more serious for Parker. Either way, I hope you all enjoy!

It's been a month.

One whole month and Parker can't believe it. A month ago, she had been shot and had been rushed to the hospital. She had survived, but the experience had changed Eliot. He became worried easily and insisted on being by her side every second of the day. She hadn't minded, but she was a bit concerned about why he was going out of his way for her. Then, he had said something that had changed her life.

"Parker, I need you," He had told her when they were waiting for a storm to conclude. "I want you to go out with me."

She had been so shocked, but she had said yes and so the two had become an "item" as Sophie liked to say. Strangely, Parker liked being an "item". She liked spending time with Eliot and she liked feeling loved by someone. She liked knowing that there was always someone on her side and someone who would pick her up when she was down.

And now they were celebrating their one month anniversary.

One month, not something most people would celebrate but to them it was huge. Before Nate, they had all worked alone and never stayed in any place for too long. To form personal relationships with anyone was bad and would affect your job performance. So, the fact that she and Eliot have been together for this long was huge.

Sophie had told her anniversaries were a time to celebrate and hope for more of them to come, but to Parker, they were a time to reflect on the progress that had been made—not only as a couple—but as a person. Parker had grown up and matured since she had begun dating Eliot. She had learned that it was ok to love someone and it was alright to be afraid as long as you overcame that fear.

The door opens and Parker smiles.

"You broke in again!" Eliot exclaims with a smirk on his face; Parker smiles. "I gave you a key for a reason."

Some habits die hard.

"Happy anniversary," She mumbles. "Happy one-month anniversary."

He pulls her close to him and kisses her and then slowly pulls back.

"Happy anniversary."

And it was.
