Epilogue

"Little angel," Nuada whispered as he lay next to Brynn on the hood of her car. Her eyes fluttered open and turned to him in question. "Is it true that you are with child again?"

Brynn's lips curved up at the corners and her eyes sparkled with life. "Do you doubt the word of your first born?" she asked, sitting up. "She seemed quite upset with us for not being wed before having another child." She touched the necklace around her neck that he'd given her as a sign of his love. Forget-me-nots and rosemary flowers for remembrance and love; it was more symbolic of their love than a common ring. "We've fixed that problem, yet…"

Nuada sat up as well and looked at her. "What are you thinking, little angel?" he asked as he was unable to read her thoughts.

Brynn smiled at him mischievously and threw her keys into the car, closing the door. "Well, we haven't…"

"If you continue to act like a child and not finish your sentences, perhaps I will not be a gentle as you have tried to make me," Nuada said, pinning her to the side of her car with his hands. Brynn squirmed against him. "Now, what have we not done?"

The angel Halfling let the walls around her mind fall for just a brief moment. The Elven prince looked at her with his dark eyes and Brynn blushed under the heat of his stare, her body squirming against his. His hands tightened on her wrists for a split second before he leaned his head against hers and looked her closely in the eye.

"First you must agree to my demands," Nuada stated with a soft smirk.

"What demands?" Brynn's eyes narrowed in suspicion, though her body burned with heat against his.

Nuada's smirk turned darker…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Charlie, Caroline," Brynn said with a sigh as she leaned her hips against the counter. "I have to quit."

"Quit? Quit smoking?" Caroline asked with a frown. "I didn't even know that you smoked those cancer sticks…Aren't angels supposed to be pure?"

"No Caroline…I have to quit working with you and Charles here at the diner." Brynn muttered, feeling eyes on her back. "I don't smoke and I'm only half angel so I don't have to be pure."

Caroline's mouth dropped open for a moment and her eyes misted. Charlie frowned and walked out of the kitchen, wiping his hands on a dish towel. The regular customers fell quiet as they listened in on the conversation. Brynn clasped her hand over the necklace that Nuada had given her.

"Is the – is the Bureau transferring you to another better paying place?" Caroline asked. "Because Charlie can pay you more if it's a matter of more pay…"

"No…It's not that. I love it here and wouldn't let the Bureau place me somewhere else." Brynn gave a wan smile. "I am no longer part of the Bureau or under their complete protection," she continued. "HB left with Liz and the twins, Abe left with Nuala…The Bureau doesn't know what to do, but that's fine with me because I'm not going back…None of us are."

"Where will you go?" Charlie asked, pulling out the diner's checkbook and dashing off her final paycheck.

"To Ireland with plenty of land for the kids to play on…No Bureau watching us twenty-four seven… An open, clear blue sky to fly in…" She smiled at the images Nuada was projecting in her head. "Besides, the husband wants to be close to the magical epicenter of the world."

"Uh-huh," Caroline said, putting her hands on wide hips. "I bet the husband also wants to rule the Unseen Kingdom as king too, doesn't he?"

Brynn sighed and took her check from Charlie. "I'll miss you guys…" she said with a voice full of sincerity. "You've been the best coworker and boss I've ever worked for…"

Charlie smiled and gave her a hug. "Take care of yourself and your little ones, Brynn and come back anytime you want some good soul food, 'cause you know no one cooks like old Charlie now."

Caroline pouted and tapped her fingers against her hip. "So you're leaving me to train another newbie by myself, are you?" She rolled her eyes and wrapped her arms around Brynn, hugging her tightly. "I'm going to miss you, Bee."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Brynn stood there on the edge of a cliff in the Emerald Isle with her daughter, looking out at the blue ocean below them. She glanced to her left and saw Nuada standing on a boulder in a very "kingly" pose. Her senses were picking up on the magical land around them and Brynn felt at peace as she rested her head on her rounded stomach.

"This is home," she whispered…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A/N: Told you it was short and that was completely by accident, though no matter how hard I tried to make it longer, it seemed forced when I made it more than two pages, so please bear with me. It is time to put this story among my completed stories and never look back upon it until I am done with all the other stories I have milling about in my head, to redo it if necessary…

Thank you again for your support and patience. Keep smiling. ~ Scarlet
