A/N: Thanks for all of you that stuck by this story, that left a review, followed or favourited this story. It was a joy and a challenge to write, and I felt that this was probably the best way I could end this particular story of Harry and Nikki.
Epilogue
There was an announcement.
Murmurs of "finally".
Money changing hands.
The idea of a big wedding was quickly thrown out.
The idea of a quickie at the registry was also quickly thrown out.
They settled on an intimate ceremony in Leo's back garden in the late afternoon on the eve of Harry's fortieth.
Their honeymoon was two weeks away from death and murder and annoying DI's.
When they returned to their real lives and work death, Nikki suspected she was on bump-watch.
A few months later
Harry had been offered a professorship in New York.
And they both knew that this offer wasn't going to come back for a third time, so they uprooted across the pond.
While Nikki had been concerned about finding a job, Harry had been in the position to welcome her into the faculty, a condition that he had negotiated when he accepted the professorship.
And so it seemed that everything was as it should be.
In due time, there were children, and the desire of returning home to England.
And just at that time, Leo told them of a posting in Cambridge, and they did return home.
And the lives of Harry and Nikki continued just as they had always hoped.
fin.
