Kalli was so pleased to see Abe. He had an inner glow about him now, something he hadn't before. Love suited him. A huge smile spread across his face, "I must let the others know you are awake!" and he dashed off.

"I guess your brother doesn't think much to me. I should hate him, he tried to raise an army to kill and enslave the people of this world. But in the Army's chamber, when I came to help, I really felt like he deserved a chance to change, that we deserve a second chance."

Nuala gave a sad smile. She knew it would be difficult for Nuada and Kalli to get to know each other, but truly believed that if there was anyone who could change his opinion of humans then it was her. She decided to take her leave when Liz arrived.

"Hey you, welcome back to the land of the living. There anything you want me to get for you?"

"Yeah, you couldn't help me to my room so I can have a nice hot shower, could you? My hair feels terrible!"

"It looks it!"

"Thanks!"

Liz giggled and updated her on the events of the past five days. Not a lot had happened, but they now trusted Nuada enough to let him roam around the Bureau without supervision. If they did need to know where he was they could just ask Nuala. Other than that Liz had finally told Hellboy he was going to be a dad – and they were going to have twins! So everyone was happy.

Well, almost. Nuada was finding it hard being cooped up with two lovey-dovey couples, but Abe especially was trying to speak to him. They had talked a little, but it was still a work in progress. The same went for Hellboy, who didn't really talk to him all that much but had found a good sparring partner for combat training - no poisoned spear allowed though.

Hellboy had proposed to Liz and she had accepted. She insisted that they get married right away. She had a dress that she had gotten a little while ago in hopes that she would marry someday. She asked Kalli to be her maid of honor. Hellboy asked Abe to be his best man.

Hellboy came to Kalli and asked her to get a ring for Liz. She was able to find the perfect ring. Kalli shopped with Liz for flowers and the dress she would wear for the ceremony. She tailored suits to fit both Abe and Hellboy as she could do it quickly with magic. All was ready within two weeks of their return from Bethmoora.
