A day passes, and Nyx and Erebus are back in their universe, and Zain is with me. For once. We're sitting and watching The Nun. Honestly, I'd rather watch the Conjuring universe with Zain and Zain only. Yeah, I may have our adopted kid, Dan. But he ain't Zain. He'll never be Zain. Zain is just amazing. Handsome. Muscular. Cute. Pretty. He's my non-fiction hubby. He's my soulmate. Meri jaan.

"Zain?" I say to him.

"Yes, baby?"

"I love you." I tell him.

"Babe, you're the only one who has ever taught me to love again. You've always been there when I needed someone." He says. I swear he's about to cry. "Nikki, you're honestly the only one who has ever loved me even when I was at a low point in life. You stayed by my side when I thought you were gonna leave."

Zain's crying. He cried only a handful of times in front of me. In a way, I think I've been the only one who he has cried in front of. Zain is broken. Ever since he lost his family all them years ago, he thought he wouldn't find someone to have a family with. Until he had assassinated Aiden. Dan, me, Jess, Kai, and Amber. Even though they all are adopted, I still wouldn't change them.

"Dan, because Zain is back, he'll look out for us." I say to him. "He will always look out for us."

"I know, Dad will."

9 months later:

"FUCK!" I scream. "GET THIS FUCKER OUTTA ME!"

"Breath. Breath." Zain says calmly.

"FUCK YOUR BREATHING!"

"Doctor, got anything to kill this motherfucker with?!" I say through gritted teeth.

"No, I'm sorry, Ma'am." He says.

Zain just smiles and holds my hand. "Baby, you can do it. You're strong."

Something sparked in me like this will last forever. Even into our next lives. The atmosphere changes to a dark and intimidating. Which, I knew, due to the doctor feeling scared. A black portal appeared, and Erebus and there was a woman. She had hazeled coloured eyes and hair. Her jawline was squared. She's wearing a classic gown but not the type of one you would wear to a ball. She is also about 5 foot 8 inches.

"Has she had the Kid?" She asked with her soft and mysterious voice.

"Hecates, what are you doing here?" Asked Zain with defence.

"Diavolo has moved."

"What Dante has moved?" I ask about to sit up. "Where is he going?"

She seems to hesitate. "Here."
