I sat on the sofa sluggishly. I had been feeling of for weeks yet I didn't know why. My physical was fine and I was back to work. I had an appointment booked for tomorrow morning.

"Everything okay?" Neal asked sitting down next to me

"Yeah fine. Just off. I know I had a physical but I'm seeing the doctor to get a second opinion. I'm sure it's nothing and I'm just adjusting to being back in the field." I brush it off "So now we have a ceiling. When are you telling Peter?"

"Soon, now that we've narrowed it down. we can do it the right way."

------------

"Hey, Neal are you awake?" that is what woke up. I groaned and rubbed my eyes. What time was it? I don't remember my alarm going off.

"What are you doing here so early?" Neal grumbled talking to his father.

"Guess you didn't get Peter's call." James replied. I huffed and sat my self up

"What time is it? I groaned grabbing my phone seeing I had a missed call and text from Peter.

"Uh, no I was sleeping."

"We were sleeping, it's what people do." I state a little louder then grabbed one of Neal t-shirts and my leggings that I was wearing

"Hello, Kara. I thought you might be here. I brought coffee." I came out

"Yet you walked straight in. Charming. Peter called a meeting an urgent one." I retorted "Who else is coming.

"Greeting fellow conspirators" Mozzie entered

"I should have seen that one coming." i glance at Neal "Now all we need is Peter." seek and ye shall find. He came through.

"Peter, why did you call the party crashers." I grumbled in annoyance getting out of bed and taking the coffee.

"Listen, whatever plan you have to get the evidence box..." Peter started

"We don't have a plan." Neal retorted

"Well you better get one." Peter replied seemingly anxious

"Why?" I question

"Two hours from now an FBI Team will be heading into he Empire estate building and they won't leave until they find that evidence box. We need to find it first." he informed us

"You told Calloway about the box." Neal was annoyed

"That means Pratt knows too." Mozzie added

"Now what matters is that she doesn't know what floor it's on. Now, I'm heading the FBI team. I can control the pace . How long will it take you to get the box?" Peter injured

"No seriously, they don't have a plan. They thought they had time and you were gonna be looped in." I explain

"We don't, Pratt's already in Manhattan by now. He told Calloway a different version of what we're gonna find." Peter carried on. Neal sat down and pulled me on to his lap

"What is he saying?" Neal wondered

"That it will implicate James." Peter answered

"He's a lying son of a bitch. There is nothing in that box that will implicate me." Oh-kay. i turned my head to Mozzie. We both had the same think though protest to much.

"We'll get their first."

"I'll brief my team as soon as I leave."

"What about me?" Neal thought

"You are benched and Kara already booked the morning off so she's all yours." Peter replied

"Okay then let's come up with a plan."

--------

Oh shit, oh shit. Oh fucking shit. That is all I was thinking on the way back to Neal's. how did this happen, well that was a stupid question. Okay focus. The task at hand is getting the evidence box, do that and then freak out. I arrive back.

"Hey. I'm glad you're here. We have a plan. And i'm gonna need you" Neal grinned

"That's great. okay let's go through it."

"Don't tell me everything. Plausible deniability. Just say my part." I stop him and he nods

------------------------

I waited on the observation deck for Neal. It was a bit overwhelming given what I knew and what was going to happen. Sensory and mental overload. But I had been in tougher situations, on the outside I was cool and collected inside I was a bag of nerves.

"It's beautiful up here." i comment seeing Neal arrive.

"Ready to give these people a show?" he wondered smiling and it calmed me

"Yeah." I answered and he looked around nervously "Cold feel Caffrey?" I joked

"No, no you?" he inquired

"Absolutely not." I answered without thinking. He looked around again like he was gathering the courage.

"Alright. Here goes nothing." he freaked taking one knee. I don't know why but actually running with this was soothing. I was weird. I giggled. But he didn't say anything and we were drawing a crowd

"Neal, people are staring. I think you supposed to say something." I encourage him

"Yeah. The first time we met, you helped catch me." I laughed "The first time we spoke, you rolled your eyes and said hell would freeze over."

"Well you did make eyes at every woman you walked past." i retort

"The first time we had dinner, we connected more than I thought possible and the first time we kissed i never wanted that connection to end. And now I'm asking if you'll go on another adventure with me. Kara James, will you marry me?" okay I was crying.

"Yeah, Yeah I will." He slipped a ring on my finger to applause. The stood and we kissed then hugged.

"That was a little to real, Caffrey. But boy was it good." we pulled away slightly

"Make it look good. That's my job." when he said that he looked like he just lost a big score or something.

"Mr Halden?" we turned our attention to the manager and i wiped away the stray tears "Congratulations to you and your lovely fiancee, Kara. We're excited to have you share this special occasion with us. As you requested, May I guide you to the 103rd floor?"

"We're going higher?" I let out a light laugh

"To the very top."

"And the champagne?" Neal asked

"Setting it up as we speak. Would you like to follow me?" we did so and once we reached the 103rd floor we were left alone.

"I told you it gets better." Neal joked

"Not to mention a lot scarier. Would this be like the mile high club?" I laugh holding onto his shoulders

"Third of a mile maybe." he replied

"Why do people want to come up here? It baffles me." I comment

"Because it's forbidden." he answered

"makes sense. So what do we do now?" I wondered pressing my back to the wall.

"Now we have a drink." I panicked

"Won't that mess up your plan?" I ask and he pulled out a flask offering it to me "No thank you." I decline

"Kara you're not on duty."

"It's not that. I just can't." I move away scratching my neck

"Kara, you've been off all morning, I know something's wrong. What happened to truth?" he cornered me which wasn't hard

"Because I'm still trying to understand it and you can't be distracted right now, okay." he turned me around.

"Tell me." he insisted and i sighed

"I'm pregnant. The doctor confirmed it this morning." I admitted and he stepped back as I folded my arms

"But...We were careful and you would have noticed."

"You don't think I don't know that? I'm months along and I hadn't noticed not even the first doctor noticed doing my physical which is actually a little disturbing. Look can we not do this right now? Can we just do this and talk about it later? Please Neal." he nodded slowly and now it was awkward. "Is it time for your next phase?"

"Yeah." he pulled apart the champagne and the stand to create a ballon. He then went back inside and came back with the evidence before loading it on and sending it off.

"You getting a signal?" I wonder

"Putting in the coordinates right now." he answered and I watched it fly away.

"Impressive."

"Kara." I turn my head towards him "I'm shocked, there is no doubt about it. But when I proposed. I meant what I said. I was going to say something different but it didn't feel right."

"You're not gonna propose again are you because today's already got my head in a spin?"

"Would you say no?" he inquired

"Neal, you just half fake proposed and then I tell you I'm pregnant and you want to propose for real? Neither of us are thinking clearly."

"That's not an answer." he whispered

"I don't know, okay. I love you, but I'm terrified because we're already on thin ice, dating. A agent and a C.I? You add marriage and and a kid. Not to mention the fact we get ourselves into all kinds of trouble all the time, we'd be worried about..." he kissed me cutting me off

"Marry Me." he mumbled after parting away.

"What?"

"Marry me. Kara."

------------

I waited outside the empire estate building. For prat to come out in handcuffs. I wanted to stay and watch while Neal went home and make sure the evidence got there safely. My phone started ringing.

"Diana, when are you bringing..."

"Kara, Peter's been arrested." she cut me off, a lot of people were doing that today.

"What? Why?!" I yelled

"James killed Senator Pratt and then ran leaving Peter over the body with gunshot residue. They're about to bring him out." she told me and I covered my mouth. "I've already called Caffrey hopefully this can all be cleared up. Kara? Kara?"

"I'm still here. I...I see him." I watched as Peter was led out by Agent bitch face. I hung up. Then grabbed at taxi back to Neal.

"Neal! Neal!" I thrust open the door and he's stood there alone "Where is he? Where's James."

"He's gone. He ran instead of confessing. He conned me."
