A/N: popped into my head, not sure where it came from. Not sure how many parts it will be or when it will be finished (warning in advance this time) but be sure to drop me a review.

Checking her emails she sighed, all had been delivered apart from one. It had been 10 years with no word, she'd invited her to her wedding and didn't even know if she ever received the invite. Sure, Kenzi understood why Tamsin had taken off after the battle, she even understood why she had cut them all out her life, just because she understood it doesn't mean it didn't hurt.

They had taken out the Ancients, and eventually Hades, but the cost was catastrophic for all of them. Bo and Lauren's relationship was never the same, the human was terrified of what Bo could become. The Succubus had embraced her Dark side to defeat the Ancients, Kenzi had thought for a while they may have lost her forever, but she found her way back. It was never the same though. In a way, after the battle, they had all gone their separate ways, scattering across the globe. Kenzi had returned to Spain, Bo going with her for a while. Everyone was still in contact by phone and email. Everyone but Tamsin. Even Acacia was on Kenzi's contacts list. The little Russian had a gut feeling that the older Valkyrie knew where Tamsin was, but it hadn't mattered how drunk they got she was holding onto that piece of information.

She had once asked Acacia how long it took for a Valkyrie's heart to heal, hoping Tamsin would eventually find her way home to her family. She hadn't liked the answer she got. On a quiet night she could sit looking up at the stars, hoping her little Valkyrie was out there somewhere, even 10 years later the pain of that loss was still with her.

Half way across the world she sat at the same table she always found herself in after closing time. Even the sound of the door opening didn't stop her looking at the now tattered photograph she held in her hands.

"We're closed..." Tamsin said.

"Kenzi's pregnant." Acacia said.

Clenching her jaw Tamsin didn't look up, but she did nod a little. Deep down she knew that she'd never be able to get rid of Acacia, nor would she want to, but sometimes she wished the older Valkyrie wouldn't insist on passing on little bits of news.

"It's been 10 years, Tamsin," Acacia said, "10 years and she still asks about you most days."

"Is she happy?" Tamsin asked.

"Yeah..." the older Valkyrie replied.

"Then that's all I need to know." Tamsin said, finishing the drink that was in front of her.

Acacia shook her head and walked out of the bar again. She knew Tamsin thought she was doing the right thing, but she also knew she was torturing herself. Kenzi reminded her of Bo, Bo brought nothing but pain. But even 10 years down the line she knew that Tamsin couldn't make it through one day without thinking about them both.

The cool sea air making her feel more comfortable after the hot and stuffy day, Kenzi stood looking out at the ocean, the sound of laughter filtering from the house, making her smile at its sound. Resting her hands on her quickly growing stomach, she sighed. It had been 8 months since she had emailed everyone the happy news and her family had gathered together for the first time since her wedding. With one noticeable absence. She was lost in her thoughts and didn't hear the soft sound behind her, but she did hear the voice.

"Standing outside at your own party, that's never a good sign..." Tamsin said.

"Tamsin..." Kenzi said, turning to look in the direction the voice had come from.

She ran over to the blonde, throwing her arms around her, tears burning her eyes as the Valkyrie returned the gesture.

"Hey Kenz..." Tamsin said quietly, tightening her arms around the small Russian.

They stood there like that for a few moments before Kenzi backed away and slapped Tamsin on the arm.

"Where the hell have you been?" Kenzi asked, "do you have any idea how worried I've been, I was actually thinking about chaining Acacia up in the basement and torturing her until she told me where you were."

"She would have enjoyed that." Tamsin replied with a smirk, "I just... I needed time."

Tamsin looked back at the house. It was more like a mansion. The last time Tamsin had stopped by Kenzi's little island off the coast of Spain the house didn't look anything like the one that was standing there now.

"Wow... This is certainly a step up from the crack shack." she said with a laugh.

"It was my wedding present." Kenzi said with a laugh of her own, "guess when you fall for a cupid, forever really means forever."

"A cupid?" Tamsin asked, "they weren't messing around when they decided you deserved happiness... Nicely done meat-bag."

"Less of the meat-bag." Kenzi said, "it doesn't really fit anymore..."

Tamsin looked at her with confusion written all over her face. Kenzi smiled and held out her hand, a fireball forming in her palm.

"Neat trick..." Tamsin said, tilting her head to one side a little, "how?"

"Lauren..." Kenzi said, "6 months after you left she took off, in her lab we found a syringe and a note addressed to me. She had mixed my DNA with Fae DNA, reversing what she had done to Evony, she made me Fae..."

Tamsin didn't know what to say, she had long dreaded the day she would have to say goodbye to Kenzi, human lives being so much shorter than Fae ones. Now, thanks to Lauren, she wouldn't have to do that for a while.

"You know, I may have to thank her for that, is she here?" Tamsin asked.

"No," Kenzi replied with a little smile, "I invited her but she couldn't make it, said she'll come and visit soon... When the house is a little less... Crowded."

Tamsin looked back at the house as she heard more laughter. She saw a guy walking towards them, a guy she didn't know.

"There you are," he said walking over to them, wrapping his arm around Kenzi and softly kissing her head, "we were starting to worry that you'd gone for a late night swim."

Kenzi laughed a little.

"Tamsin, this is Tristan, my husband," Kenzi said, "Tris, this is Tamsin..."

"So, you're the cupid huh?" Tamsin asked.

"And you're the Valkyrie," Tristan replied, "it's nice to finally meet you."

He held his hand out and Tamsin shook it.

"I don't think I have you tell you what happens if you hurt her." Tamsin said, a small smile playing on her lips.

"Couldn't even if I wanted to," he replied, "shall I have a guest room set up for you?"

"How did you get here?" Kenzi asked.

The question caused them all to laugh.

x-x-x

After Tamsin finished explaining to Kenzi about where she had gone when she left, they decided to go inside and grab a drink. Tamsin stopped before she got to the doors. A sound she hadn't heard for 10 years filtering through her in the same way it always did. She heard Bo laugh.

"Should probably have warned you..." Kenzi started to say.

"I knew she'd be here," Tamsin said softly, "thought I was ready for it..."

"I can go get us a drink." Kenzi replied, "you don't have to see her."

Tamsin shook her head a little.

"It's been 10 years, I need to get this over with." she said.

As soon as they walked in all the talk stopped. Bo was sitting with her back to the door, but everyone else could see Tamsin. Dyson nearly jumped up out of his seat, Trick wasn't much better. Mark and Vex were smiling like it was Christmas.

You could cut the tension with a knife, it was like everyone was waiting for Tamsin to say something. But they were surprised by who spoke first.

"You took your time getting here Valkyrie." Bo said, standing up and looking at Tamsin.

"Traffic was a bitch..." Tamsin replied.
