Epilogue
As it turned out, Abu had not been killed in the Kenyan airstrike and had returned to the UK to plan a terrorist attack, in Manchester no less. Georgie's intel from her time in captivity was invaluable to counter terrorism command and she returned to Manchester with Elvis quite quickly, as his team were asked to work on the case, due to their prior experience with Abu. When Georgie had found out Abu was still alive she had made contact with his ex-girlfriend, Saira, to see if she could shed any light on his whereabouts. It was a stroke of luck that this led to Abu's demise when he tried to detonate a suicide bomb at Saira's university graduation ceremony. Georgie had worked out, at the last minute, what he was planning and raced to the scene with Elvis who, yet again, risked his life to protect his beloved Georgie.
Elvis had been shot that day, saving Georgie from Abu, who had held a gun to her head. Georgie had been distraught, thinking that she'd lose him but Elvis had no intention of leaving her so soon and made a full recovery. There was one difficult moment though when Elvis was rushed into the ER at the hospital in Manchester, with a worried Georgie by his side, to be confronted by one of the duty doctors who was none other than Jamie! When Elvis came round and saw who it was he whispered to Georgie "Oh for fucks sake! Just kill me now, he's going to anyway and he'll make it bloody hurt!" Georgie, full of pent up adrenalin and fear for Elvis, got some very strange looks when she laughed to the point of hysteria, whilst Elvis was still receiving his life saving treatment. But to Elvis, hearing Georgie's laugh, was the best medicine he could imagine.
Once Elvis was discharged, they had settled in London and continued their respective careers for the next year, although they both found it less and less appealing having to be apart so much. Elvis was undercover in India and Pakistan for a while, then finished off his tour in Afghanistan, tracking down a Taliban war lord, whilst Georgie went on a humanitarian mission to Nepal. She was glad of the distraction of her posting, helping to keep her mind off of Elvis' very dangerous deployments. Luckily, both their tours were successful but uneventful and they returned home within weeks of each other, relieved to be back in each other's company again.
Georgie was finally learning to manage her PTSD with Elvis' help. He was amazing, spending hours talking to her about her fears and comforting her through her nightmares. He was so patient with her and tried everything he could think of to relieve her anxieties, but it was in his arms that she felt safer than anywhere else.
Eventually they had agreed that they would like to start a family and so Georgie retired from active duty and transferred to a post training new recruits at Pirbright. Elvis was given a permanent posting to counter terrorism command based in Whitehall with only the occasional overseas deployment, to train and brief overseas operatives. They had sold the flat in London and had bought a large run down house, to do up, on the outskirts of south west London, within easy reach of both their workplaces.
Georgie's parents had come round quickly to the idea that Georgie and Elvis were back together. They realised with the couple living down in London, if they did not give him another chance, they were not going to be seeing much of their daughter. She was far too precious to them for that to be allowed to happen. Georgie had eventually told her parents the full story about her and Elvis' break up which made them see a different side to the whole situation. Elvis taking a bullet for Georgie during the Abu siege had also gone a long way to endearing their son-in-law to them. It was clear that he loved her and was willing to lay down his life for her, he had proven that on more than one occasion.
Consequently, it was Grace who was on hand to help out when Elvis and Georgie's son was born, exactly 2 years to the day that Elvis had found Georgie again in Kenya. Luca Harte was followed 18 months later by his baby sister, Elise.
Elvis had Luca sitting on his shoulders as he entered the maternity unit to collect Georgie and Elise. "Us boys are here to take our two best girls home." He said dropping Luca onto the bed next to Georgie. "Mummy and baby home." Luca repeated launching himself into Georgie's arms. "Are you ready to go then Mrs Harte?" Elvis asked scooping baby Elise into his arms and leaning down to plant a kiss on Georgie's lips.
"I couldn't be more ready." She replied with a dazzling smile.
Later that evening they were all four cuddled up on the sofa at home. Georgie looked up to see Elvis staring down at her with such a strange expression on his face. "What is it Elvis?" She asked, concerned.
"I was just thinking how bloody lucky I am to have you and the kids and our life together and how it nearly didn't happen."
She reached up and stroked his face tenderly. "Well thankfully it did, my love." she assured him.
"I know." He smiled. "You're here though aren't ya Mrs Harte, all is well in the world…"
I've so enjoyed writing this and sharing it with you all. I will really miss this incarnation of Elvis and Georgie. Thank you so much for your lovely reviews.
I already have a new story on the go, which also involves a marriage for Elvis and Georgie set around S3, so watch this space.
As you can tell, I'm hardly bitter at all that they never got to marry in the show. ;-) x
