What does it mean?

Newt's pov

Y/n is sitting in the middle of all the maps. She looks so comfortable, so at peace. How can she be so active after the amount of food we just ate? I wonder. Minho's sitting on the table because he kept getting in the way and Y/n got frustrated at him. I'm standing near the door, trying to help Y/n, but there's not very much I can do; I don't even know what she's looking for. Every now and then she sighs or writes something down in her notebook. She rubs her eyes and blinks a few times. "Ok, I think that's enough for tonight" I say, noticing how tired she is. She starts to protest, then stops, either too tired or realising that I'm right. Minho is drifting off on the table so I help Y/n stack the maps back into piles and put them in the boxes. I grab her around her waist and hold her close as I slap Minho in the head to get him up. "We're going over to the homestead" I say "You can stay here if you want" I laugh gesturing to the way he's sitting and how he is falling asleep. He just gives me a fake smile and looks at the way I'm holding Y/n. "You guys are so..." He drifts off, seemingly not having found a word. "Cute" He mutters quietly obviously not happy with what he came up with. I roll my eyes and Y/n and I walk away, not caring if he comes or not. We go to Y/n's bed tonight. We get in and she faces me so we can talk, and kiss. When we start to drift off Y/n turns around, and we position ourselves how we have almost every night. I can smell her hair as I fall asleep.

Y/n's pov

Newt wakes me up when he gets up to go see the runners off. I wander out with him and go to the map room. I try to think what to start with, but my brain starts hurting. It's too early I think with a yawn. Instead of starting, I go over to the kitchen to get breakfast. Frypan is still cooking so I have to wait. The food is worth the wait. He made pancakes, and I get the first batch. They're still warm when I eat them. I head out, looking for Newt, he wasn't at breakfast with me, so he must've gotten caught up. I walk over to the gardens and see him pulling out weeds. I sneak up behind him and yell "RAH!" making him jump and scream softly. I start laughing so hard and he just looks at me. "You weren't at breakfast" I say, then realise that breakfast only just started so I add "With me" He nods "I know, I saw you go in, but I don't feel like anything right now, so I just came here" He says. "Ok '' Is all I say "I'm gonna go to the map now, see you later" I say kissing him before I walk off. When I get to the map room, I decide to do the same thing that we did last night; get the last 7 maps from each section and lay them out on the floor. I do this then step back to see all the maps at once. Nothing extraordinary happens so I go to the table and stand on that to get more of a birds eye view. Again nothing jumps out at me so I sit back down and compare the maps in the single section. I put all the maps of section 1 together and notice that one line is in the same spot in every map. I write that down in my notebook. I do the same for section 2 and notice that another line is repeated across every map. That goes in as well. In section 3 another line is repeated in the same way. I go through all the sections and they all have that one repeated line. I write it down in my notebook and try to think what this could mean. Nothing comes to mind so I just start comparing the maps from the same day, instead of the section. I look at yesterday's maps first. I put the 8 lines from that day together and it just makes some weird line thing. I get a little discouraged at this and almost give up. Then I get the section 1 maps from the last 2 weeks out. I find that the line is still being repeated in every map, but it changes every week. I try to think. Why is this line being repeated? Why is there a different line for each section? Why does it change every week? What does it mean? I really don't know how to answer the questions swirling through my head. I just write down my findings and keep looking.

I finish lunch, but I'm not concentrating. Y/n isn't here yet. Lunch is almost over and I haven't seen her since yesterday morning. I told her to stop working last night, but she didn't, saying she might've found something. I grab a plate of food and walk over to the map room. I can barely walk in the door. I open it and step in, only to find the floor littered with maps. "Y/n" I say picking up a few of the maps. "Stop!" She yells as she looks up. "They're all in certain spots" I put the maps back and hold my hands up in a conciliatory gesture. I look at her and notice how much she's been working. Her hair is out of place and her eyes look slightly bloodshot from little sleep. I sigh. "You've been working for too long" I say "I don't care if you might've found something. You need to look after yourself" She looks up at me with a look that says 'really?'. She gets up and does a weird hopping dance to get across all the maps on the floor. She gives me a kiss on the cheek and takes the plate from my hand. She does her dance to get over to the table and sits down to eat. I make my way through the maze on the floor and sit next to her. "Forget the maze out there" I say laughing faintly "You've made your own in here" She laughs through a mouthful of food. "So" I say, trying to get a conversation started "What have you found?" She finishes eating so she can explain. "I've found lines that repeat, but they only go for a week, and then another line gets repeated for the next week. It keeps going like that for 2 months then it starts again." She says "I need to figure out what these lines mean... I just know they'll help if I can work it out" She continues, sighing at how little she's done "Hey, that's good. You've found something and you know what it could mean and lead to. You've extended on what Minho and the runners found" I say softly, trying to cheer her up. It works a little. "I need help Newt" She says and I look at her questioningly. She must see the look on my face so she adds "Like someone to help me do this. I can't do it on my own" I exhale. Ok, I can do that I think "Who?" I ask "Who do you want?" She thinks about it for a minute before coming to her conclusion "Chuck. I want Chuck" She says and nods, as if confirming what she just said. I saw that coming. She loves him like a little brother. She finds him so cute even though he's probably only 3 or 4 years younger than her. "Ok, we'll ask Alby" I say "Come on, we'll go now" I finish, standing up. She stares at me, as if contemplating if she should go or not, then stands up. We make our way out of the room and over to the hall. We find Alby sitting there looking at something in the distance. I clear my throat and he looks at us, startled. "What?" He asks. He sounds tired. "Geez mate, have you slept much?" I ask, completely forgetting the reason we're here "It doesn't matter" he says. I roll my eyes. He sees this and keeps talking "Now, I don't think you guys came in here to ask me about my health and klunk? What do you want? A separate room in the homestead?" He says, sniggering at the last part. Ugh, I'm so sick of them making stupid comments like that I think rolling my eyes. "Yes, we would" Y/n says and he looks at her in shock "That would be awesome, can you do that? Thanks" She adds, smiling sarcastically. Alby seems to catch on that she's being sarcastic and looks at me for answers "Y/n wants Chuck to work with her" I say. Plain and simple. He starts to reject, but I talk over him. "She can't do all this work on her own Alby!" I say "If you want me to actually get anything done, I need Chuck with me" She adds. He looks at each of us in turn, thinking over his response. He sighs. "Yeah, ok, whatever. I'll talk to Dan about it later. For now you can just do it on your own, but I'll see if he can start tomorrow." He says. Y/n jumps up and gives him a hug. He looks so shocked and awkward I start laughing. "Thank you" She says coming over to me "It's-It's ok" He stammers. This just makes both of us laugh.

We go back to the map room, Newt abandoning his work in the gardens. Until Chuck helps me tomorrow, Newt's going to help. That'll only be for the rest of the day. We go back and I explain where all the maps go and the pattern I've made with them. We spend the rest of the day looking at maps and theorising the meaning of the pattern. By the time we get to dinner, my eyelids are drooping from lack of sleep. I completely forget about asking Alby about Chuck until he walks over to tell us that Dan agreed to our plan. Dinner goes past in a haze and before I know it I'm back in Newt's bed, snuggled up against him. I feel him breathing on the back of my neck and smile to myself. This couldn't be more perfect I think as I drift off.

I wake up to Newt shaking me gently. Chuck is by his side, smiling way too brightly for this time in the morning. I roll over, mumbling about 5 more minutes, when Newt scoops me up, carrying me out. I laugh, suddenly more awake. He carries me to the door of the homestead and puts me down on the steps just outside. "No more sleep for you" He says laughing. I laugh too, then look around, noticing everyone already at work. "What time is it?" I ask no one in particular "Almost lunch time" Chuck replies. My head snaps around to face him. "What!?!" I say "Why was I still asleep?" Newt's just starting to stop laughing and pulls himself together to answer me "I decided to let you sleep, after all the work you did the last few days, you deserved it" He says. I just smile at him, grateful for the amount of rest he let me have. "Thanks, I guess" I say, standing on my toes to kiss his forehead. "Should we go to the map room before lunch?" Chuck asks, obviously excited to start. I shake my head and his smile drops off his face. "Oh don't worry ''I say "We'll have plenty of time to pour over the interesting lines of a map" I finish, sarcastically. My stomach rumbles loudly enough for both of them to hear and we all start laughing. "Why don't we go get some food" Newt says "Seems like Y/n is bloody starving" He adds with a laugh.
