Title: The Proposal

By: Technician Fan (Holly)

A/N: This is a one-shot. I've always liked Jimmy and Lee together and think that they should have actually had a relationship together but they had to go and kill Lee.

Jimmy Palmer glanced down at his left coat pocket. There was a small velvet box inside that pocket. It was meant for a special woman in Palmer's life. A woman who he'd originally never seen as much more than a sex toy until a few months ago when he'd suddenly found himself feeling things for her. They were new and strange feelings to him but they were wonderful feelings and Palmer didn't know what think when he found out that Lee shared these feelings for him.

"Hey, watch it Palmer!" Anthony DiNozzo yelled as his coffee ran down his brand new shirt.

Palmer looked down and gasped. His pocket was drenched in soaking coffee. "No, no, no. This is bad. This is very bad." He snatched the box out of his pocket and began examining it thoroughly. It was safe. Palmer let out a sigh of relief.

Tony's eyes caught sight of the rectangle box and they lit up like a little kid opening his presents on Christmas day. Palmer gulped. It was all over for him now. Tony had seen his secret.

"What's that Palmer?" Tony asked innocently.

"Uh, nothing. I've gotta get down to autopsy." Palmer stuttered and tried to flee from Tony's questioning.

"Not so fast Palmer. Who's the lucky lady?" Tony blocked his path and grabbed the box. A low whistle escaped Tony's lips as he opened the box. "A 2 karat ring, not bad. For an engagement."

"I know." Palmer snatched the ring back from Tony's prying hands.

"Ah, come on; please tell me Palmer!" Tony begged.

"No, you'll tell everyone." Palmer stated.

"I will not." Tony said solemnly raising his right hand, "I swear on McGeek's little boy scout handbook."

"You swear?" Palmer asked cautiously.

"On McGeek's handbook." Tony replied.

"Alright. I'm going to ask Agent Lee to marry me." Palmer gushed.

Tony's face lit up again and said, "I am so glad I've sworn on McGee's handbook!" he then proceeded to get up on his desk and yell, "PALMER MIGHT BE GETTING MARRIED PEOPLE!"

Palmer turned bright red and Michelle Lee dropped her papers and coffee as she stepped off the elevator. She just stood there in shock looking at the two guys. Finally when she gathered together enough of her mind she bent down to get her papers and now empty coffee cup.

Palmer gave Tony a look of death and then walked over to Lee and finished picking up her papers for her.

"Thanks Jimmy. Who's the girl?" Lee asked a bit jealous even if she tried not to let it show.

"Well… um, here's a good a place as any." Palmer muttered to himself and took her papers and flung them on to someone's desk behind him. He hoped it was Tony's.

"Michelle Gina Lee, I know that we haven't known each other for very long but I think that when two people just know that their right for each other time doesn't matter. I feel that way about you Michelle. Will you marry me?"

"Yes!" Michelle squeaked and jumped into he's arms.

Suddenly the elevator doors opened again and Ducky walked out. "Well, it's about time Mr. Palmer. You've had that ring for two weeks!"

Palmer blushed again and smiled. Things were looking good.

A/N: Whatcha think? Like/hate? Tell me !!!
