Neal's POV
I wake up with Mia in my arms. I wish I could wake up like this everyday of my life but i know that isn't logical. I take in the moment and just enjoy the last time I will hold her in like this. My heart breaks a little. I wish I could tell her everything but I know she would stop me and that is not what is best. I couldn't tell her anything. She starts to wake up. I kiss her check.
"Good Morning Gorgeous."
She smiles at me, "Good Morning," she says in a tired voice.
I go to get up but she pulls me back. "No don't go, stay with me," she says.
I wish I could I think. "I can't this is my last day every and then no more anklet."
"So, It all ends today?" she asks.
"It all ends today," I says sadly. To her it was just the case was closed. For me It all ended to today. I wasn't sure I was ready for that.
"What's wrong Neal you should be happy?"
"I am but, I think I'm going to miss working with the FBI and Peter."
"Well maybe you can make a new deal with out an anklet."
I smile at her and give her a kiss. We both get ready for the day.
"Did I mentioned how good you look in that pilot uniform," she says.
I kiss her. "I even have a picture of me and my girl in the inside pocket." I take out a picture of us to show her. It was taken a while ago. She went undercover with us. Elizabeth took picture so we would remember the night. She also took one of Peter and I in our tuxes.
"Wow, this was like 2 years ago." She gives me a kiss and Peter comes telling Neal it is time to go.
Peter then goes and waits for Neal in the car.
"Good luck," she says.
"Thank you,"I say.
"I'll see you tonight then."
"Sounds like a plan. I got to get going. I love you." I say giving her one last kiss.
"I love you too," she says. I take one last glance at the girl I love right before I go down the stairs then I walk down those stairs for the last time.
Mia POV
Neal leaves. I can't wait for him to get home tonight. It is my turn to plan a surprise for him. I head to the store. I was not as good of a cook as Neal but I think he would still appreciate the gesture. I picked out all the food I would need for dinner. I 'm waiting in the check out line. My phone rings. It's Neal calling me I answer.
"Hello."
"Oh, you answer, I was hoping that you wouldn't so I could leave you a voicemail for you to listen to later."
"Okay I'll hang up and you can call back and I won't answer."
"Sounds good. Love you."
"I love you you too," I tell him.
We hang up. I go back to the apartment. I put my phone on vibrate so i can focus on getting ready for tonight. I get the table all set up for dinner tonight. I set the table and my phone buzzes. I ignore it sure it isn't important or the voicemail Neal said he would leave.
I finish setting up and my phone keeps buzzing repeatedly. i go to answer it. Peter.
Before I could get a hello out.
"Mia, It's Neal you need to get down to the hospital as soon as you can."
"On my way."
Why didn't I answer my phone earlier. I'm try to stay calm but it isn't working. i don't even know what happened.
I rush to Peter once I get there.
"What happened?"
"We got the Panthers, we put Keller and Neal in the same car.. When I went to get them. They were both gone. I went after them Keller. I got him and he said something about getting to Neal in time to say Goodbye. I got to Neal and it not good Mia."
My heart sank. Mozzie was there now. A doctor comes up to us "Are you here for Neal Caffrey?"
We all nod not able to speak. "I'm sorry, There was nothing we could do for him. I'm sorry for your lose."
It felt like all my breathe had been taken from me. I lean into Peter and he just holds me tight. Tears start rolling down my check. This is a dream. Wake up, now, I tell myself. Wake up and you will be safe in Neal's arm.
"Would you like to see him?"
Peter nods and supports me down the hall to the room where Neal is. The doctor opens the door. We stand there. Peter hugs me close as they unzip the bag to reveal Neal. I collapse and I know the only thing holding me up is Peter.
Mozzie goes into shock and says Neal always know how to con his way out, he always had a plan. Peter puts a hand on Mozzie shoulder. Peter pleas with Mozzie to look at him.
"Not this time Mozzie, Neal gone Mozzie, He's gone."
I know it now. I know I wasn't about to wake up, this is real, he's gone. I was not about to wake up in Neal's arms. I was never going to wake up in Neal's arms again.
