"Are you quite sure about this?" Nora Montgomery bit her lower lip, a frown overtaking her features. She held onto one of her baby's outfits tightly in her hands, wringing it slightly in her state of anxiety.

"Yes." Billie Dean replied softly, laying her hand over the socialite's. "Did you get what I asked you to get?"

The ghost nodded. "It was his favorite. Or, at least, I liked it on him." She held out one of Thaddeus's old gowns. The accompanying bonnet lay in her lap. She frowned. "And this will, this will bring him back to me?"

"This will, yes. He'll be yours again, Nora." Billie nodded. "And you'll be able to walk out of this house with him, he'll be able to grow up."

"That's all I ever wanted." Nora admitted, biting her bottom lip in worry. "Getting out of here is an added bonus." She looked up into Billie's dark eyes. "You're an added bonus." She leaned forward to kiss the medium sweetly on the lips.

While time meant nothing to Nora anymore, it felt like her and Billie had been together for all eternity, when in reality it'd been a slow burn spanning a handful of months. With the medium, she finally felt alive, more so than when her heart had beaten oh so long ago.

"If this doesn't work-" Billie began.

Nora shushed her. "If this doesn't work, then it doesn't work. I love you, Billie Dean Howard."

The medium nodded.

And it did work. Billie had researched the topic for so long, losing countless hours of sleep over Nora's happiness and Thaddeus's revival, it had all paid off. What she thought would take unusually long only took a few precious minutes. One minute the monster that Thaddeus had become thrashed around the basement, fighting them, the next he was calm and young again. His eyes were a bright blue and his hair a light blonde. He was so small and fragile, sitting there on the cold cement floor.

"Is-Is-?"

Billie walked past Nora and picked up the young child, who smiled at her before blowing bubbles out of his nose. The medium laughed, and looked back at Nora. "Do you have any tissues?" The taller woman was on them both in a heartbeat, hugging the boy to her chest and kissing him endlessly on the top of his little head.

Billie took a step back and smiled softly, hugging herself.

"Thaddeus." Nora whispered, and looked up into Billie's eyes. "This is Billie Dean." The baby grinned at the medium toothily. "And she's been able to get us out of here, we're walking away together, yeah?"

The ghost took Billie's hand in hers and led the three of them up the stairs and onto the house's lawn. She squared her jaw at the property's gate, reaffirmed her hold on her child, and walked to the sidewalk, Billie watching with baited breath. She made it through, like the medium had promised she would.

Nora called her over excitedly, Thaddeus joining in with happy squeals. She bounced him up and down as she danced to the music in her head, and Billie couldn't help the silly grin on her face. The taller blonde suddenly sobered.

"I have something to ask you." She said quietly, looking into Billie's dark eyes. Her fingers played with Thaddeus's hair.

"Yeah?"

"Will you help me raise him?" Nora bit her lip. "I mean, he's only a toddler and I have yet to find a job. And-" She looked stricken. "I hadn't even thought of a place to live, oh god what have I done."

Billie shook her head. "Nora, there's no one way I'm letting you, or him, out of my sight. You're my family. You can stay with me, and don't worry about a job, like you said, he's a toddler, he'll need his mommy."

"You're too kind to me, Billie Dean Howard." Nora flushed, ducking her head down. Billie pushed a strand of blonde hair aside and took her chin in her hand, making the socialite look down at the medium.

"On one condition."

"Anything." Nora breathed.

"Become Mrs Howard."

"Done."
