Pulling back slightly to catch our breaths Henry, leaned his forehead against mine, his hands wrapped in my hair, thumbs gently rubbing along my jaw line. I felt my heart swoon and knew that this was real, this was going to be the start of something beautiful and real. When we had caught our breaths a little more Henry smiled before whispering

"I love you too Jo. So very much" he said and again his lips crashed against mine, and we were lost. Nothing was going to break this moment.

We remained up on the deck for a couple more minutes, taking in the lights and view. Henry had wrapped his arms around my waist and turned us so that we could look out at the view. Just as a light wind blew Henry said

"Beautiful" and I looked down at what I was wearing, the track pants I'd put on and the baggy t-shirt and three sized too big jumper. How on earth did he find this look to be beautiful? I turned slightly a confused look on my face, pressing a kiss to my forehead he pulled back and smiled

"I don't know how I managed to get so lucky. I have a beautiful woman by myside and hopefully she wants to be my girlfriend?" he asked nervously, but still managing to be the proper gentleman he was while asking. This time I turned around so that I could wrap my arms around his neck and pressed a soft kiss to his lips, when I pulled back I said

"I would love to be your girlfriend Henry" I said and he smiled the happiest smile I had ever seen gracing his lips before he captured our lips in another heated kiss. When we pulled away this time it was because we could hear voices making their way up to the deck where we were, we pulled apart but Henry kept my hand in his grip and I smiled a little. I didn't regret moving on from Sean, not the way I thought I would've, there wasn't this deep guilt, just a comfort in knowing that he would've wanted me to be happy and if that meant being with an immortal man who had proven time and time again how much he cared about me then there really wasn't anything bad in what we had. And I knew that when this became more than just dating that Henry was going to remain the same in appearance and I was going to age but somehow I didn't care. I was in love with this man and that was all that mattered, I had him now exactly where I wanted him.

"How are you feeling Henry?" Mike asked making his way out of the building and onto the deck, Abe, Lieutenant Reece and Lucas following close behind him. I looked over at them and saw that Lucas and Abe were carrying bottles of beer with them.

"I've been better, but honestly I'm glad it's over and I have the people I care about here with me" he said looking toward everyone and then turning back to me smiling softly and I smiled back. That was when Lucas and Abe handed out the beers and we all relaxed a little more when we took a mouthful of the amber liquid.

"You'll be glad to know that the officers, unis and morgue techs will be done and out of your hair before the hour is up" Lieutenant Reece said a smile on her face and Henry nodded

"Thank you Lieutenant" he said. We all fell into a comfortable silence, each turning to the view from where we were standing.

"I hope you will be returning to work now Detective, with this case solved I think we can have all hands on deck again. Monday morning 8am sharp" Lieutenant Reece said a small smile on her face and I nodded.

"Of course Lieu" I said. Thanking the lucky stars that I still had 5 days before I headed into work again, smiling both internally and externally I was extremely excited about what that could mean for Henry and me.

When our glasses were empty and the others had said farewell Abe escorted them down to the front door of the shop and then retreated to his bedroom. I turned toward Henry and smiled

"I should probably go to" I said and he frowned

"Why? There is a bed that you can sleep in Jo" he protested and I smiled

"I thank you for that offer Henry, but with what we just started tonight, with us becoming a couple, I don't think I could trust myself not to do something were both not ready for yet" I told him and he nodded pulling me in for a kiss

"But you don't regret us right?" he asked, I searched his eyes and saw that he was worried that I might just up and leave him, so trying to give him my best reassuring smile I said

"Of course not Henry. I never thought I could love anyone again after Sean's death but to love you, to have these feelings the way I do and for you to know how I feel for you, I don't think I could ever go back to feeling that way again" I said and he gave me a knowing look.

"Alright at least allow me to escort you down to your car?" he said and I nodded, a smile on my face as he took my hand in his again.

We made it down to my car and before we left he pulled me in with one arm, keeping that arm wrapped around my waist before brushing a couple of lose strands of hair from my face.

"I love you Jo Martinez" he said and I smiled

"I love you also Henry Morgan", leaning in he placed a rather heated kiss to my mouth and pulled back leaving me breathless, before he opened my door

"I'll let you go Detective, see you tomorrow" he said and I smiled getting into my car

"See you tomorrow Henry" I said waving to him. He made his way back across the street to stand on the side of the road to watch me go. Smiling the whole time I felt something that had been weighing heavily inside me finally lift. I was free now, free to love again and man had I picked one man who had years of love to give.
