I do not own moonlight, it's characters and anything associated with it. I just happened to love the show, want to play with the characters, and have a fanfiction for that! Hehehehe

I love Moonlight and it's so sad it was cut short. There were too many stories they left hanging. Anyway, this is how I would have pictured what may have happened after that last episode…

Please Read and Review!

Thank you very much!

Hope you'll like it.

Turning Beth

Chapter 1

Anniversary

A year has passed, and Beth has turned a year older, and is celebrating her first year anniversary with boyfriend Mick. Mick, on the other hand, remains as young or old as he is—years may add up, but he'll always look the same, of course, that is until the day he dies or turns human again. It was a good year for their relationship, and they are closer than ever. Cases were never absent in their conversations, but, at least they already had more than ten real dates without interruptions.

"Congrats, Mick. A year, and you haven't even fed on her, again—I mean" Josef patted Mick's back, "I'm proud of you," he jeered.

"Right, Josef," Mick said, and added sarcastically, "I've always wanted to feed on her."

"What are you planning on your big night?" Josef said, handing a glass of drink to Mick.

"Just dinner and wine, under the moonlight," he paused, "I wouldn't want to rush things."

"Well, in case you didn't notice, Beth is getting older by the day. She's unlike us."

"Meaning?" Mick replied, brows raised and wide eyed.

"You mean you haven't thought of turning her?" Josef said on his way to sit at his desk.

"If that is what you want to talk about, then I'm leaving," Mick put the glass down on the table, and waited for an answer. They were not really arguing, they knew each other too well for that.

"I just hope you won't regret that, when the time comes that…" he broke off, and turned to face Mick.

"I know, Josef." He thought to himself for a few seconds and continued, "You know how much I feel that this existence is a curse, I wouldn't want to give her that torment." He turned to leave.

"Good luck, man." It was all he could say. He has experienced too much of the loss and pain of seeing those you've come to love leave you, yet he still loves his immortality.

Meanwhile…

Beth was excited. A year ago, she was uncertain of how she and Mick stood, but now, after more time together, she was certain. She wanted to select something lovely to wear, and she decided to make it a little fun. She saw the black (seductive) dress she wore when she got high upon "testing" the drug that contained vampire blood.

That night was a blurry memory for Beth. All she could remember was she felt like the most in everything—most beautiful, most sexy, and the most important person in the world. She smiled at the thought. That night was the night she gained more respect for Mick. He didn't even take advantage of her, and that proved for gentle of a man he really is.

When her birthday came, she was happy and a little sad at the same time. Mick's birthday passed and added another year in his life, but he will never truly age. But her, her time was limited compared to his immortality. Because of that, she's been thinking of being turned, perhaps when she turns 32 or at that age, but not to become older than Mick in appearances—maybe she just read the Twilight series too quickly and became obsessed to be at least as young as her boyfriend. She brushed off the idea.

Her cell phone rang, it was Ben. She's been an investigator for a year and a few weeks now, it must be a case. She debated whether to answer it or not, and decided to do the former.

"Beth Turner," she said.

"Hey, Beth, can you come to the office, I need you to look at some of the evidence we found on this new case—" Ben said, but Beth interrupted him.

"I'm sorry, I can't. I took a leave for today and tomorrow remember?"

"Oh, I forgot. I'm sorry. It's just were a little short-handed, and I thought you might have been interested to work on a new case."

Beth has learned to decline some of her workload since she almost ruined a relationship for working on anniversary night. She thought about Josh. But he has passed, and she was sure he wanted her to be happy, so she shook off the guilt.

"It's my anniversary with Mick, we've already made plans. I'll start immediately and work overtime the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, Beth. Congratulations on your anniversary and have a pleasant night. Sorry for bothering you."

"It's nothing, and thank you," and she pushed the end button on her cell.

Though she has learned to decline a job, it was still somehow difficult for her. It was tempting to solve another crime, but this night was just about her and Mick.

A few hours later, she was ready in the black dress, stiletto shoes, and an elaborate red blazer to add some color to her outfit. She kept her makeup simple, and was just waiting for Mick to go and pick her up. In truth, she really had no idea of the "plans" she said they have, because Mick insisted he will take care of it, and wanted to surprise her. She was checking her whole get up for the night when there was a knock on her door. Must be Mick.

As she opened the door, it was Josef. He looked distressed, immediately Beth let him in and asked, "Josef? What are you doing here? Where's Mick?" The worry in her voice was prevalent.

"Mick! Oh no, I left Mick!" his hands were trembling. He was in a state Beth has never seen before. He was panicked.

"What happened?" Beth could feel her eyes starting to warm and well-up. Something must have happened. Josef didn't answer. Beth shook him and said directly at him, her hands on his arms, trying to shake the answer off of him., "Where's Mick?!"

Josef looked at her then smiled—in his signature smirk—and answered "He is at the door, waiting for you." Beth crooked her eyebrows in a face of confusion.

"Surprise!" Josef said.

Beth pressed her lips into a thin line and squinted her eyes, "Not very funny." She stood to go to the door and there Mick was. Looking like he always did.

"Don't tell me you thought of that?" she asked him, eyes studying him closely.

"I did not think of that." He said, and removed his sunglasses and looked directly at her. He leaned in closer to give her a kiss, she leaned back, hand raised in a gesture to stop him. "What's wrong?"

"Did you know how I got worried? I almost ruined my makeup for nothing!" she said, jokingly, lightly hitting his arms.

"You just gave me the best gift a boyfriend can have."

"And what might that be?" she asked him, no longer able to keep herself from smiling.

"Knowing that his girlfriend is afraid of losing him." Josef answered for Mick. "Look, before you guys become too mushy for me, I just want to say congratulations to the two of you. And Mick, you owe me big time for my performance."

"I guess living hundreds of years, you really can do everything. You may just have an Oscar waiting for you," Beth said to Josef.

"Nah, too public for me. Won't be able to hide if that happens. Enjoy the night. Bye." And Josef went out the door.

"That was really…different." Beth said. "I never expected that. Truly a surprise." And she kissed Mick lightly on his lips.

"Thank you!" he said, and bowed his head in a gesture of "humility." "By the way, very beautiful outfit."

"Thank you very much. I wore it just for you." She joked.

"Yeah, so shall we?" he held out his hand and she gave hers.

"So, Mr. Mick St. John, what plans do we have for this evening?" she asked as they were walking out the door.

"It's a surprise, remember?" he said, and they walked outside, and got in Mick's car.
