When Henry and I walked into the lounge, Abe turned around and smiled

"Jo it's good to see you. I'm guessing you are joining us for dinner?" he asked and I nodded

"Only if that's alright with you Abe" I said and he nodded

"Of course it is Jo. Besides I have a feeling that you will be spending a lot more time in our company" he said and I blushed

"Abraham" Henry scolded and Abe just shrugged nonchalantly.

"Would you like to accompany me to the roof?" Henry asked holding out his hand and I nodded

"Sure" I said taking his offered hand in my own. Making my way up to the roof with him for the first time since entering this relationship felt different not a bad kind of different just well different. When Henry and I were seated looking out over the city, looking at the lights I thought about how far we had come. We'd gone from acquaintances to colleagues and friends to this and if I was completely honest with myself I wanted so much more, more of Henry and more of us. It was when I felt Henry's squeeze to the hand that I looked at him, feeling the blush on my face for having been caught.

"What were you thinking about Jo?" he asked and I felt my cheeks burn even more

"I know that we've already told each other we love one another and that we've just started in our relationship but Henry I can't wait until I get to have all of you. Know every bit there is to know about you, explore everything with you, get lost with you, make love with you and I don't know maybe I can see myself marrying you" I watched Henry as I said all of this and saw the small smile turn into a full blown grin and saw the look in his eyes, that same look that I had seen before but had denied. I watched as Henry moved my arm up to his mouth so that he could kiss the palm of my hand, a somewhat old fashioned gesture but one that made me feel incredibly special.

"I can't wait to do the same either Jo. Everything that you just said sounds absolutely divine" he said and I smiled scooting over so I was closer to him and leaning my head against his shoulder. I felt him unravel my hand before he reached behind my back and grabbed my other hand, as we continued to look out over the city.

We'd been sitting like that for a good ten minutes when I felt like getting to know Henry more, since finding out his secret he was more willing to open up to me about the truth and what he had seen and been through, though of course if we were at work or with a suspect or witness and he said something then I would have to remember to ask him about it later, I had also started paying more attention to what he was saying when he was giving his autopsy results, he was a man full of interesting facts, especially since it was parts of his life that he was retelling.

"Henry random question" I said pulling back slightly so I could see his face, he had a grin on his face before he answered

"Go on" I smiled and asked

"How many languages do you actually know? I mean I know that you know English obviously, and Welsh, Russian, Latin, Greek, Urkesh and a little bit of German but what others do you know?" I asked and he smiled

"You're right that is a random question" he said pausing to count "Alright I think right now I've got it to about 45 that I know fluently but others are either harder to pick up or they know and understand a little of something else. I don't know Japanese I know a little Chinese and mandarin. Uh I know French and Spanish, a little bit of Arabic and Dutch just to name a few" he said and I nodded, it was a lot of languages to know.

"Have you visited all those places?" I asked and he nodded

"Yeah, each of them has their own beauty and delight. I promise to take you there someday" he said and I smiled, squeezing his hand I replied

"I would like that a lot". I was about to ask another question when Abe called

"Dinner's ready", smiling at Henry we made our way back into the lounge

"Mm, Abe that smells delicious" I said and he smiled

"My special, spaghetti and meatballs" he said proudly and I smiled as Henry helped me into my seat.

As Henry, Abe and I sat at the table I knew that this was where I wanted to be. Knowing Henry's secret and the fact that he loved me only made it more special for me, being so welcomed into a family from the very beginning like I had been with Abe and Henry was something that I will never forget and always be grateful for. I would forever love these two men, who had made me live again and showed me that no matter what I was loved and there was always a home I was welcome to. I shook my head and looked at the men around me, both looking at me questioningly

"I'm sorry what was that?" I asked not entirely sure who had spoken or what the question was.

"I asked how the case went. I mean you were called in on your day off both of you, obviously it was an emergency" he stated and I smiled

"Yes right. Uh it was an open and shut case really but I guess it was an emergency for the business and for the family of the victim" I said and he nodded, returning to his meal. I looked at Henry and noted that he had a raised eyebrow and I smiled a little sheepishly before mouthing "later" to him. I mean I wasn't ashamed of Abe knowing that Henry and I were together I mean he could probably tell but for now I guess it was just nice being the only ones who knew.

Later that evening after Abe had excused himself and gone to bed Henry and I were back up on the rooftop. This time Henry had his arms wrapped around me and I was leaning against him as we looked out at the city.

"What were you thinking about before?" he asked after a long silence.

"I was just thinking about how you and Abe had welcomed me into your family. I wasn't even welcomed this lovingly into Sean's family, I mean over time they let me in but it wasn't like this from the beginning and I feel like you and Abe went out of your way to welcome me" I said and he kissed the top of my head

"You have been a part of this family from the beginning Jo" he said and I sat up looking at him, searching his eyes.

"What do you mean?" I asked and he smiled

"I mean that from the beginning Abe and I welcomed you in because somehow it just felt right, and now I know why it feels this way, because you came into my life for a reason and that reason was so that you could make me see the world again" he said and I blushed, it was such a cheesy line

"My own little cheesy man" I giggled and he beamed proudly

"Nothing wrong with being cheesy when you love someone as deeply as I love you" he said leaning down and placing a tender sweet kiss on my lips. Pulling back I stared at Henry and knew that he was my forever.

"Jo we have four days before we have to be back at work, would you like to come with me for the weekend?" he asked shyly and I raised an eyebrow

"Where would we be going?" I asked and he smiled

"I have a holiday house in the Hamptons that I haven't really used in a long time. Would you like to come with me?" he asked and I nodded

"I think that would be a neat idea. When do we leave?" I asked giddly and he smiled

"As soon as you like" he said and I sat up

"Well I need to go home and pack and you need to pack as well. Could we meet up in an hour?" I asked and he nodded

"Sure" he answered and I smiled, standing and running to the door to head back down to my car, before running back to Henry and placing a kiss on his lips.
