Moments

As you may have noticed I am not capable to update as frequently as some of you guys would want but I am definitely trying although remember that the reviews are an amazing booster and the more I read, the more my fingers just want to type away so keep reviewing! : - )

BTW just so you guys know it is eleven o'clock in the night where I am writing this and I am nearly falling asleep just so you guys can have that long-expected and strongly deserved chapter so consider yourselves lucky!

Disclaimer: I do not own Scorpion or any of its characters. I'm just a massive fan that likes to write!

/MOMENTS

His eyes remained firmly glued to her face. He wanted to see her every expression but most importantly to hear her answer. He notice that her heart monitor detected a miniature rise and spotted a glimmer of happiness and hope in her eyes, one that he hasn't seen for what seemed like decades. His lips curled into a smile and for that split second, he forgot how anxious he was becoming because seeing even a slither of joy in Megan's eyes was enough to turn his world upside down.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the glint in her eyes faded and her heart beat returned to the miserable and still worrying beat as before. He saw her body sink in deeper into the spring mattress and her eyelids to shut. Without a second of thought, he placed the make-do Haribo ring onto the numerously sterilised bed stand and shifted closer to the human that he believed that he was losing. The human calculator grasped her hand and shook her gently yet eagerly for he was scared that once her eyes closed, they would never open again. He breathed a deep sight of relief when he saw her eyes blink hastily and once more produce gallons of tears. Sylvester's mind naturally begun to panic and fear that he had upset her unintentionally.

"Why are you d…doing this Sylvester? Why are you making this harder than it already is?"

Megan's harsh whisper pierced through Sly's throat harder than any time at high school that he was punched or beaten to the floor. This went deeper and deeper as he looked into the woman's eyes.

"What do you mean? Is this not what you want bec-"

"It is what I want. More than anything in the world but you don't understand. You are giving me something that I know I can't have and that is cruel. Soon I won't be here anymore so how am I supposed to enjoy having an unplanned wedding in a stupid hospital and know that it may be the last thing I will ever do. Besides even if I could have been able to push through that, I still can't marry you. I can't drag you down with me. If we get married even in this hospital, right now… It is certain that you'll become a widower in less than a few hours. I don't want to do that to you because I love you Sylvester."

The tears were now uncontrollable even though Megan did her best to try and conceal them. Sylvester begun running calculations and calculating the outcomes of different sentences that he could now say. Whilst doing this he watched the brunet flip her head to the other side of the bed, possibly feeling embarrassed to be crying. When he finally chose his best answer he dragged an orange plastic chair and sat on the side of the bed looking directly at the back of her beautiful yet tired hair.

"I understand Megan. I respect your decision but just hear me out for a second. Please?"

The figure that the sentences were directed to, didn't move which in his mind, granted Sylvester the permission to speak again.

"You always told me to live my life fully and not to regret or waste a single second. You also told me to have faith and hope in my dreams even if they seem impossible. Well that is what I am doing right now. I believe that you will live to see the stars again. I know that you will survive the time that the doctor's gave you and prove them wrong. In the meantime, let's not waste our precious seconds. Let's get married here and now because you can't give up without a fight. If we get married, you will have a purpose to live. Don't let MS stop you from being the Megan O'Brien that I fell in love with and become a pessimistic crying wreck. I will ask you one more time. Will you marry me?"

Sylvester felt more confident than he ever was. He got up from the uncomfortable chair and once more knelt down on one knee. His already immense smile grew when Megan turned her head toward him and nodded in joyful agreement.

Walter was still pacing around the monitors angrier at Drew more than ever before. He always hated that man for how he left Paige all by herself to raise a mentally gifted child all on her own, but to return and use that child as a gateway to a fortune was lower than he ever expected that idiot to go. Toby analysed his friend's fury and placed his hand on 197's shoulder.

"I know that you're mad at the guy and that you would love to get your revenge in many ways preferably through fist-to-face contact but there will be a time for that. Right now Paige needs you. Cabe has already gone to pick Ralph from school before Drew gets the chance to manipulate him some more but Paige is still restless. I tried talking to her but she's not interested in sarcastic comments or psychoanalysing which isn't at all surprising, so why don't you go up there with a cup of that cinnamon rubbish and help her out. We'll be ok here."

The genius appreciated the shrink's advice and not wanting to cause an argument followed the doctor's instructions.

Amanda was still closely observing the way in which Toby comforted his friend and how he was so gentle with him. She begun to remember all of the amazing memorise that she had with him and slowly strutted towards her ex-fiancé. Toby turned around at the exact moment that she was about to begin speaking but just carelessly held up his hands saying…

"Not interested" and walked the opposite way.

He mentally patted himself on the back for resisting the somewhat urging temptation to talk to her (which usually led to getting back together with her and then being rejected through the use of another guy). Toby sat at his desk and started to hack and observe different cameras to determine where Drew and Anthony may be which was their next plan of action. This only lasted about five minutes before he was distracted. By a gorgeous Asian woman energetically pounding a large piece of metal to let out her anger. He shook his head violently when he knew that it was time to get back to doing his job but the image of Happy still stayed firmly engraved in his mind.

The two CIA forensic analysts were about to exit the garage with their bags packed when Eveline went up to Toby to explain the situation.

"We should be leaving now seeing as you won't need us for the further investigations. We sincerely hope that the case goes well" she said with a warm smile on her face before adding in a quitter tone "I know that this isn't any of my business but the way that you look at that mechanic if just magical. I have a brother who studies psychology and from what I learnt from him I can tell that you haven't confessed your feelings to her yet but I think that you should. After all, it would get rid of that clingy blonde and possibly make you happier."

Those were the last words before the two women slammed the garage doors behind them. Toby hated taking advice from others as he always enjoyed butting into others businesses rather than in reverse but this time he understood and appreciated what the woman said. Her words somehow gave him confidence or maybe just a push in the right direction. Whatever it was it steered his legs to stand up and head in the direction of the metal banging woman.

This chapter was dedicated to my good friend, fellow scorpion fan, my fanfic fan and the biggest Quintis shipper that I know, EMMA! I hope all of you enjoyed the chapter and I will try, try and try to post another one tomorrow but I can't make any promises.
