*two months later*

Will wraps his arm around my waist and leans down to give my kiss a cheek. I explained to him everything that the moon goddess told me about and he is thankfully supportive. Mum and dad have split... Something to do with the fact that he has a whole different life with another family, who have now moved in with us and joined the hunters. It is quite funny cause mum and Alex's mum have become best friends. And as for Poppy my half sister, it took us two weeks to track her down but when we did she put up a fight but eventually agreed to come to the hunters. As for Alex and James, well when Alex moved here, instead of going to his own room he moved straight into James's. I'd hate to think what goes on in there half the time. Then there is Pete and Pat, and well... I don't really want to know what happens with that. I think Matt likes Poppy but she is never here so it is hard to tell. As for Will and I, well we are going strong. Ellen and Millie moved into my old room across the hall and they get on so well. We told Millie the gist of what we do and who she will be, but she took it well. I moved into Will's room again, and despite his snores and nasty habits I love it. My scars may never heal or fade but they are a memory of what I accomplished.

"Hey, you okay?" Pat asks tugging my hand. I look to her and smile,

"Yes... I was just thinking how so much has changed in two months." I reply. She gives me a knowing smile.

"I know... Seemed like only yesterday you moved back in." She replies. I smile. Will excuses himself and walks out. These past few days although have been going well between us he has become more distant. I sigh and but keep the smile on my face.

"Mommy!" Millie screams and comes running up to me. I grab her and lift her up. She wraps her arms around me and I kiss her forehead. "Daddy has a surprise for you." She giggles. Interest sparks in me,

"And what is this surprise?" I ask. She giggles more and someone starts giggling with her at the bottom of my feet. I look down and see Ellen holding onto my leg,

"It is a surprise. We where told not to tell you." She says. I squint my eyes at them,but they don't budge. Millie kisses my cheek and that signals for me to put her down on the floor, which I do. She grabs Ellen's hand and they run off laughing. I look to Pay who is watching them.

"Do you know what this surprise is?" I ask. She grins,

"Even if I did, I would not tell you." Is her reply. I scowl at her back as she walks off. I take a seat on the sofa and just watch the TV.

"Hal? Hally? Wake up." Someone says gently shaking me awake. I groan and open my eyes only to come face to face with Will. He gives me a smile which I return. He then guides me off the sofa. "Come one I got a surprise for you." He tells me. I sigh,

"Is this the surprise Ellen and Millie mentioned earlier?" I ask. His face drops,

"They didn't tell you did they?" He asks nervously. I shake my head and he lets out a sigh of relief. He grabs my hand and pulls me up to the balcony in our house. Out there is a table set with candles and food. He has put fairy lights up on it.

"As much as this is cute and romantic, I didn't really think we where like that." I tell him with a smile on my face for the effort he out in. He returns my smile,

"No if we where the way where back at the beginning, none of this would happen and we would already be on the bed." He tells me. I let out a chuckle to which he joins in with. He smiles at me and I return it. We get through the meal in a comfortable silence, often talking about memories. When we get to dessert he looks at me "Hal... I love you more than anyone and I can't picture a life without you." He tells me. I look at him, wondering if he is about to do what I think he is. He stands up and then gets down on one knee. "Hal, I cannot imagine living my life without you by my side. So will you do the honours of being my wife?" He asks. I feel my eyes water and I nod my head not trusting myself to speak. His whole face lights up like a Christmas tree. He takes the ring out his pocket and gently puts it on my finger. The moment it is on he leans up to my face and kisses me. I reply immediately and well one thing leads to another and we enter our room.

When we both are lying and holding each other panting I look up to him,

"I thought you said that you never wanted to get married?" I asked. He kisses my nose,

"You made me change my mind... Besides I had also said that I never wanted kids but I have two now and I love them just as much as I love you." He tells me. I grin,

"Here I was thinking you where pulling away but you just had a trick up your sleeves. Didn't ya?" I say cheekily. He shakes his head turning very serious,

"I would never leave you... I only distanced myself from you because I didn't want you to find out." He tells me. I lean up and kiss his lips,

"I know." I reply. He crashes his lips onto mine and it turns into a heavy makeout session.

"What time is it?" He asks. I look to the clock by out bedside.

"Midnight." I whisper. He looks at me and grins cheekily.

"Want another round?" He asks. I return his cheeky grin,

"Would could probably fit in two more." I tell him adding a wink at the end. He chuckles at me.
