It has been two weeks... I think. At least two weeks to my memory. Garrett had a good idea to wait to call NNY and Belle... I looked like hell and he knew a couple weeks I would look better. He had no idea how and he never asked. He just knew I was a fast healer, it was known among normal people. To heal was simply a good sign of health.
He needed to see that, I needed him to stop seeing his brother when he looked at my skin. Not that he didn't see ME, he saw me, he watched me closely. And if I asked him he would say that he only saw me but it was only human nature to see the wounds, the brusises, to see what I survived.
So I was finally healed and finally going back to my apartment. Sin has been in LA and Cell only stopped by when Garrett needed something.
Bishop had a show off, given everything that happened... maybe even two. We didn't really talk about Static, but we agreed I would watch and attend eventually. Once I was 'ready'.. such a pointless word...
"NNY and Belle are meeting us there?" I'm not going to lie, I was excited to see NNY, but I missed my dogs. That was the highlight of the day, Snow and Shade. I grabbed my bag and my cell phone, seeing the picture of us on it... I had to smile. It was a good picture and it made me look up at him as he grabbed my second bag.
I was also excited to get out of this safe house.

"Indeed. You know...I almost pity NNY for what he has to deal with from Belle on the trip."
Bishop jokes. He notices the smile on her face, though he doesn't say anything. He doesn't need to, for the smile is felt in him as well.
"So...I feel we need to address something."

The smile quickly disappeared as they walked to his Bently. "... What's that?"

Bishop turns around from walking in front of Nero, and stops her in her tracks with a kiss on the lips. Letting her bag drop the short distance to the ground, Bishop wraps his arms around Nero before allowing their heads to separate only enough for words to pass from his lips.
"Happy Birthday Artemis."

"Thank you Garrett." A smile, almost a blush even before she kissed him again. Mimicking him with the bags to wrap her arms around him.
The time they have spent together has felt endless. Never too far but never in the way... she felt as if she had been touching him in some way the entire time.
It was a relief to return to her 'normal' life... but that meant he also had to return to his.
Her embrace tightened as she rested her head on his shoulder.

He rocked back and forth slightly as her head lay on his shoulder.
"It feels...as though we should be worrying about something. Is it so very bad that I feel as though I am missing something to worry about?"

"It happens with this kind of life. Especially when something so traumatic happens.. you eventually learn to enjoy the peaceful moments. Because something will always show up to cause worry..."
I'm an idiot...
"I think there is something else that needs to be addressed..."

"That sounds as ominous as my own comment."
Bishop chuckled in line with the lighthearted situation.
"Should I be frightened?"

"I love you Garrett."
And the words were so simple to say, for the first time. Something that was truly terrifying to think about before... now found its way out so easily.
"That is how I survived... I had to, because I never had the courage before."

Bishop sighed out of as much shock as happiness.
"Congratulations, you translated it. Ek is lief vir jou"
Bishop brought Nero in as tight as he could as their feelings coursed through them.

"Sneaky." Holding as tightly as she possibly could, this was the best birthday she could ask for.
"As much as I would love to stand here... they will be back soon..."

Bishop added a final squeeze before letting go and opening the door on Nero's side of the car.
"True, we should head over."
He motions his hand for Nero to enter the door he opened for her.

She shook her head as she climbed into the car, she even let him shut the door for her. Putting her seat belt on she watched Bishop walk around the front of the car and climb into the drivers seat.
"I'm excited to see my dogs.."

"Do you think the time away from Snow will have reset his attitude for me? I felt I was making...some...progress."
Bishop begins driving towards Nero's apartment, knowing the way by heart.

"I'm not sure how Snow is going to react... It's hard to say. He may not even notice you at first to be honest." She moved her hand over, resting it on his knee as he drove.
