It's been six months since Van Helsing and Carl have returned to Vatican City, Rome from the Dracula mission in Transylvania. Gabriel Van Helsing has been getting a bit sloppy with his missions and doesn't seem to really care if he lives or dies. Missing Anna has taken a huge toll on him. Now he's sitting in the church praying.

"Please, God. I can't take this anymore. I've worked for you all these years and six months ago I lost the one thing I never thought I could have. PLEASE. I will continue to do as you ask. All I want is her back. She didn't deserve to die." He prayed as he cried.

A light shines through one of the close by stained glass windows and a small slender figure walks out of it in the flesh. It was a woman with brown eyes and chocolate brown curly hair. She layed her left hand on Gabriel's shoulder. "It's ok, Van Helsing. I am here."

Gabriel Van Helsing stopped crying and looked up over his shoulder. "What? Anna?"

Anna Valerious smiled and pulled him up to stand with her. "God heard your prayer and brought me back. He thought you deserved a reward and I guess I'm that reward."

"You're really here? To stay?"

Anna nodded. "Where are we though?" She asked curious.

"The Vatican. In the church. This is where I come from. Come. I will show you around." He said turning to lead her out the door and around the city.

"Wait." She said grabbing his hand.

Gabriel turned around. "Yes?"

"There's something I've wanted to do for the longest time."

"What's that?"

Anna just smiled and walked closer to him. "This." She breathed and kissed him softly wrapping her arms around his neck.

Gabriel stiffened at the sudden kiss, but then wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her flush against him deepening the kiss. They kissed and didn't pull away until they needed air. When they did pull away, he leaned his forehead on hers just holding her and smiled. "You have no idea how long I've waited for that." He said.

"'Tis as long as I have wanted to do it. I love you, Van Helsing." She replied and pecked his lips hugging him to her. Holding onto him for dear life like he might disappear.

"Gabriel." He corrected.

"What?"

"Gabriel. It's my first name. Gabriel Van Helsing."

Anna looked at him and smiled. "Gabriel. I like it. It suits you."

"You really think so?"

"I do. And now you're mine, Gabriel Van Helsing. Lets go home."

"Home?"

"Transylvania. It is where I belong, Gabriel. I am the Princess. I must get back."

"I'm sure the town of Vaseria is fine, Love. You've been dead for six months. I think they can handle themselves a little while longer. There is no danger of vampires anymore now that Dracula is dead."

"I know, but I have to get back as soon as possible. They need a leader."

"Come on, Anna. They'll be fine. For a few more days, they will be fine. Come. Let me show you around. I'm sure Carl will be happy to see you. He's probably in his lab."

"Alright." She said taking his hand. He lead her into the confessional and opened the secret passage. He lead her down through the stairs and to Carl's lab. "Ok. That's not something you see everyday." She commented.

"CARL!" Gabriel yelled at the little man dragging Anna with him.

Carl looked up from his work. "Oh. Van Helsing. You seem very happy. What's happened?"

"GABRIEL!" Anna yelled when she ran into him at his sudden stop.

Gabriel turned around. "Sorry, Hunny." He apologized and kissed her temple.

Carl looked at Anna and when he recognized her, he squeaked in shock. "Anna?!"

Anna looked at him. "Hi, Carl." She said and scooted closer to Gabriel who put his arm around her waist in reassurance.

"H...h...how?"

"Long story short, I'm Gabriel's reward for his constant work. I'm back. For good."

"Oh. Cardinal Jinette's not gonna believe this."

"NO, Carl." Gabriel said sternly. "He must not know of this."

"It's ok, Gabriel. Carl's right. We must tell him. It'll be ok, Love. I promise. Besides, it's the only way you two get to come with me and stay for good." Anna said.

"We?" Carl asked stunned.

Anna looked at him. "Yes. We will need your weapons for Gabriel's assignments and if he moves to Transylvania with me, you must move with him. It's the only way. Besides, I thought you enjoyed your stay."

"Yes, but... Oh, alright. Very well. I'll start packing. Van Helsing can take you to see The Cardinal. He's in his office."

"Ok. Come on, Gabriel." Anna said tugging his arm.
