In reply to: Niko 's message, "(He was humming a song that had been on the radio on the way to the hospital even when they had been settled into a consultation room. The nurse had come in and taken Skye's weight, blood preasure, temp and other readings and then left the two of them to wait for the doctor. He had started to get bored and that damn song was stuck in his head, so after a few seconds silence.. he started humming. He looked the picture of calm and cool, in faded jeans and a black wool sweater, his hair a few weeks past due for a trim and a few days worth of growth shadowing his face. He tapped his left hand on his knee as he hummed, getting into the song, his eyes wandering the room and the many instruments and diagrams.)" on Tue, Dec 20 2005, 9:03pm PST

"Last time you asked me to marry you it was a spur of the moment thing, Jag and I eloped, he insisted we get married and we did it the same day...just..just once...I want it to be special." She rested her hand on his chest, her brow furrowed as she thought that over. "It sounds kinda selfish but..I don't know. When I was younger I always dreamed of us having this special night and you asking me to marry you and me doing the whole teary excited yes and then us making love for the rest of the night...pictured a white dress and a church and all that. Now I know I can't get away with a white dress..." She laughed lightly. "...but a ring would be nice." (NT) -- Skye, Wed, Dec 21 2005, 6:52pm PST
