Not beta-ed. So don't bite me. Unless you're a werewolf, Garrett, Jasper, then bite all you want...

Correction, Vampire: Garrett

"Please don't cry." He didn't know what to say, and apparently this was not it.

"I'm not crying!" She yelled, he took a cautious step back, anger radiated off her.

"If you could, you would be." He tried to defend himself, it didn't work so well. He tried to put an arm around her but found himself, like so many times before, flat on his back.

"Katie..."

"Garrett, I swear to god, call me that again..." her wracked voice trailed off leaving the threat hanging in the air.

"She wouldn't have wanted you to react like this. She knew it was coming. Please, don't--"

"Don't what? Don't be sorry!? She was my sister, we shared blood, thoughts at times, she's gone. Forever. She's not coming back, I wish I had her back."

"You can't." He whispered softly into her ear, her form began to shake again, if vampires could cry, she would be. He could only hold her, glad she wasn't shocking him now.

"I miss her..." Kate's voice cracked as she whispered.

"I know baby, I know." Garrett had never done this before, never had to comfort a woman quite so frustratingly beautiful, even when she was a mess, he couldn't help but look at her eyes, get lost in them.

"Katie..." She didn't look at him. That wouldn't deter him, he said that if they survived the battle he'd follow her to the end of the Earth, and they had survived, he would never leave her. Not that he thought he ever could. It was disconcerting settling down after being a nomad all his life, but she needed him, and he needed her.

"Katie, gods above woman, I love you."

She looked at him now, expression partly bemused; "do you now?" He was glad to hear sarcasm in her voice once again.

He smirked at her, and took her in a passionate kiss. She kissed him back ardently, but then he found himself flat on his back yet again.

"What the hell--"

"Don't think you're getting lucky tonight nomad, I'm still grieving." She stood up and left, but there was a certain sway to her hips now.

He grinned to himself, maybe not tonight, but one night.

And if that happened, he'd be the luckiest man on Earth.

Correction, vampire.
