Moments
Ok I know that I said that I would write soon but it has just been so busy that I have simply not had the time. I am also currently writing a Scorpion one-shot so keep a look out for it when I will finally have the chance to post it! : - )
P.S. Thanks once again to all for reading, reviewing, following and favouring this story. I really appreciate it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Scorpion or any of its characters. I'm just a massive fan that likes to write!
/MOMENTS
Sylvester felt his world collapse. He knew that this day would come but he never expected it to come this soon. Megan forced a smile to greet her face to reassure Sylvester that she didn't mind this turn of events. She stretched her tube infested arm and knitted her fingers through Sly's. She noticed the brewing of tears as she stared deeply into his eyes that always seemed to be shyly shielding themselves from reality behind his glasses. Megan tried to shift and position herself so that she was close enough to reach the human calculator's forehead and sneak in a timid kiss but the dreadful MS had made her practically useless. She let out a half whispered frustrated groan at her inability to perform such an easy task which awoke Sylvester's mind and forced it to return back to the hospital surroundings. His hands automatically begun to fuss over her, propping her pillow and checking the countless machines to make sure that the groan was not caused by any serious pain. Megan demanded him to stop hassle around her and settle down by her side. She knew why Sylvester was agitated and couldn't stop moving around. It was what Walter always did when he was in an emotional position. He would always need to start and do something and get his head out of whatever uncomfortable situation he was in. Sylvester did the same. It was awful for her to watch the man that she loved distance himself from her now that she knew that she didn't have a lot of time left.
"Sylvester. Can you please leave everything alone and come here, you look like you are going to have a heart attack" she stated adding one of the phrases that she said to him during the day that they met, knowing that this would grab his attention.
His worried face turned to look at her and automatically smiled, finding the reference in her sentence straight away thanks to his genius mind. His hands froze as commanded by Megan as the human calculator sat down by the closest chair to the hospital bed.
"I…I know you are hurting" she said and paused due to a small headache that was becoming a more frequent visitor since much harder medication was introduced to her "daily meds" diet. "But you have to understand. This day was going to happen someday."
The young genius shifted closer to the only woman that he has ever loved and using a fresh tissue, dabbed at her eyelids as he noticed the water droplets.
"Can you do me one favour?" questioned Walter's sister.
"Sure anything" said Sylvester pushing himself foreword to be able to hear her small whispers.
"Stay with me"

Once everyone was safely back in the garage, Cabe rushed to a quiet corner whilst already dialling numbers on his phone. Happy went around inspecting the garage thoroughly and locking every door and window that could possibly lead to the outside but also making slight, hidden holes so that they don't die from lack of oxygen. Toby was observing her every move and once she moved away to a corner that his eyes could no longer reach her, he glanced around the room and noticed Paige staring at him and once having caught his attention, smiled. Toby read her facial expressions instantly. She always smiled when he and Happy were together in some sense and always gave him or Happy a thumbs up expression. He knew why she did it. She wanted them to get closer to each other because she knew that for her to have that happiness and attention from someone she had feelings for, would take her a long while. That was why Toby stepped in to help. He used to think that Paige was unnecessary for the team but since he got to know her better, he had become a friend to him and so he promised himself to help her. That was why he wrote the information on the white board and pushed Walter into telling Paige about his feelings. All of them were little pushes but seemed to work well. At least that is what he hoped for.
Toby stopped analysing the teams "supernany" and headed for the kitchen to get a bottle of water from the fridge. He nearly slid on the puddle formed by the leaking celling the Ray supposedly fixed when he saw what was in front of him. It was the teams own handyman mingling with the betraying girlfriend. The sound of Toby's now wet snickers made the two turn around to face him but Toby tried to ignore their stares and pulled open the fridge door and grabbed a bottle of cold beverage. Ray left Amanda's side and shuffled over to the shrink and hit the man's shoulder as a greeting.
"Hey man! Mind if we talk for a momento"
He didn't really. That man still creeped Toby out slightly. He seemed stupider than a brick and yet he was the hardest one to read out of all of them. As Toby once learned, he shouldn't judge a book by its cover, by the still believed that it would take a long time for him to adjust to the new garage resident. Nether the less Toby still had to admit that the new guy was a little helpful at times for instance when he saved Sylvester's life by having a friend in jail and when he became Scorpion's very own Polish translator. Without realising it, Toby shook his head at Ray's proposal and was dragged to his desk which was a few meters away from Amanda.
"She's hot isn't she" examined Ray as he smiled widely and looked over to the bored blond staring at her fingernails and puffing in frustration.
"Have her" stated Toby emotionlessly.
Ray's eyes lit up and after winking at the behaviourist, strutted embarrassingly towards the client. Toby simply turned away not wanting to watch the encounter and carefully unscrewed the bottle in his palm.

The team was doing all kinds of research and jobs. Happy was already hard at work installing cameras all around the garage for extra security in case of another attack from Anthony Stringer, Toby and Walter were observing the six monitors and analysing any possible accomplish of Anthony and Paige was occupied with Ray and was trying to calm down the sobbing woman that cried out phrases such as "I am not safe anywhere any more" and so forth. Cabe finally retrieved from the dark corner an loud enough for everyone to here stated
"I have called the CIA for them to send forth a team of forensic analysts that could help us with the case"
As these words escaped the agent's mouth, the team's leader begun to object.
"Why do we need CIA's help? Can't we simply do it on our own and just build anything necessary to run the testes and just make Homeland pay for it later?"
"It's not that easy son. Amanda's case was a private job which we took without the consent of Director Molina or Deputy Director Cooper. Homeland won't help us unless the job was assigned by them. The CIA doesn't even know what we are doing, they think that we just need team for Homeland observation to improve our technology and the CIA would do anything for us now after that time that we helped out during that Leonard and Fatima case."
The mention of that mission caused both Walter and Paige to slightly blush at the thought of what needed to be done by Walter to buy the team more time. No other genius intervened anymore even though they hated the fact that outsiders were coming to help them in something that wouldn't even pose as such a hard task if only they had the money or time.

Exactly 45 minutes and 23 seconds passed since the end on Cabe's explanation that a loud knock was heard on the main large, metal door in the garage. Each genius halted, darkly staring at the door and wondering who stud behind it. Cabe jumped up from his seat and paced to the garage entrance. Quite mumblings were heard and where followed by numerous footsteps strolling towards the team.
Hope you guys liked that longer chapter! I hope that it wasn't too long and I aim to post the next chapter sometime this weekend but only time can tell. Let me know your views or any requests as to what you would like to see further on in the story (yes I do realise that this chapter was more Melvester and Quintis than Waige but come on, those guys need love too) : - )
