The wonderful shows Moonlight and Veronica Mars are owned by companies and people other than me. They are just places I go to play.

This is a Moonlight / Veronica Mars crossover. It follows Possession, which followed Who Are You?

This takes place a couple of years after Possession.

Grant frowns into the phone. "Josef? Is everything all right? Sarah isn't having trouble is she?"

"No. She's right here next to me. She's doing fine. I'm calling because we are wondering how we will know if she can taste vampire blood and not have a bad reaction."

Grant is quiet for a moment. "Josef, I think she's probably fine now, but I can't promise you anything without testing her blood. I would hate to have her go through that experience all over again. Are you coming back to L.A.? If not, maybe there is someone that can test her blood in New York if I tell them what to look for."

"We actually are planning on flying back on Sunday. Could you do it when we get back? I don't want to take any chances with her health." Josef realizes this is a very odd conversation to be having about a vampire. "Since you're the one that found a way to cure her, I want you to be the one to test her."

Grant smiles. "Josef, I'd be more than happy to test her blood for you. I don't work on weekends anymore so it will be Monday before I'm back in the lab. I took your advice and I'm spending more time with Sydney."

Josef looks at his expectant lover and smiles. "Ah, maybe we'll fly in on Friday. Are you working then?"

"Yes. I'll be here most of the night."

"Thanks Grant. I appreciate it. We'll see you on Friday."

Sarah starts to ask a question and Josef smiles but shakes his head. He dials Mick's number next.

"Josef?"

"Mick, there might be a change in plans. How far along is Logan to moving in with Veronica?"

"We moved the last of his stuff this morning. He didn't really have much at the house except all the clothes your sisters bought for him when they went shopping on the net. He wasn't there long enough to have much more. He's all moved in across the hall."

"In that case Sarah and I will be home on Friday. She's doing very well and wants to see L.A. We are going to stop at Grant's lab on the way home so he can test her blood and make sure the taste of vampire blood isn't going to send her into shock again."

Mick smiles and then laughs

Josef smiles at Mick's amusement. "I just wanted to make sure Logan wasn't still at the house. How did he take the move? How did he seem to you?"

"Fine. You know he always wanted to be back living with Veronica. This just makes it happen faster. I've got Ben and Holden in the rooms on either side of them. I somehow talked Logan into staying in the building for two weeks. He wasn't happy about it but by that time we should have a good idea if there are any rumblings in the community about coming after him. I just don't think it's going to be a problem."

Josef hopes Mick is right. "We'll talk about that again at the end of the month then. I just wanted to tell you the change of plans. I'll talk to you later." Josef hangs up and smiles at Sarah. "We go home Friday night and go see Grant. We'll stop on the way home so he can test your blood. We just need to make sure there are no more anomalies in your blood that would send you into shock if you bite me. How does that sound?"

"Fine. At least we have a plan. I still want you. You're sure we can't…that I won't be able to…without biting?"

Josef hugs her close. "We're not taking any chances. It's taken us this long, we can wait another couple of days."

Beth comes in the bedroom from Shannon's' room when she hears Mick laughing. She watches him close his phone. "Who was that?"

"Josef. He and Sarah are coming back to L.A. earlier than expected. They were going to wait till after the weekend but they are coming in on Friday instead. He just wanted to make sure Logan and Veronica are already settled in across the hall."

Beth can see the smile twitching at the corners of Mick's mouth. "All right then what's so funny about that?"

Josef wants to have Grant take a look at Sarah's blood and make sure the anomalies are still gone and that she's not still allergic to the taste of vampire blood."

Beth thinks about it for a minute and then she gives Mick a knowing smile.

Mick smiles broadly at her "Josef has a fledgling he's in love with but he can't make love to until they get her blood tested. For a vampire Josef has the oddest problem."

Beth looks at Mick quizzically. "Can't they make love without her biting him?" Beth clicks her teeth at him. "You didn't always bite me in the beginning."

Mick shakes his head. "Not with a fledgling. No way that's a chance Josef is going to take after finally getting Sarah cured. Fledglings don't have the control to not bite. Plus I'm sure Josef wants her to enjoy everything to the fullest and the biting is pretty much a requirement."

Beth can see Mick's mood shift. "Is Shannon sleeping?" He says smiling at her.

Beth grins back at him. "Yea. Out like a light."

Mick stands up and tosses his phone on the dresser and turns to Beth. He takes her in his arms and holds her tight. "I'm so glad to be home again. Let's hope things stay quiet for a good long time."

Mick can feel Beth nod against him. She looks up at him with all the love she has for him shining in her eyes. Mick gently cups her face and looks deep into her eyes. "Beth no matter what happens, no matter what life hands us, I will always love you. Nothing will ever change that."

Beth smiles softly at him. "Together forever."

Mick nods. "Together forever."

He takes her in his arms and kisses her softly at first but quickly they both lose themselves in their desire for one another as the kiss deepens and Beth welcomes Mick home.

Josef pulls the Jag into the parking garage of his office building. He smiles at Sarah. "I'm not even going to my office we'll go straight to Grant's lab." He gets out and moves around to Sarah's door and opens it for her. He helps her out of the car and they enter the building arm in arm. Josef sees Sydney sitting in the outside office of the lab reading a book. She looks up as they come through the door. Sydney looks at Josef shyly. "Hi."

Josef takes a deep breath and reminds himself that despite the damage Sydney did to Logan's life she made it possible for Sarah to be standing at his side. "Sydney."

Sydney smiles somewhat hesitantly at the pair. "Mr. Kostan, I just wanted to apologize again for what I did to mess up your son's life. I'm really sorry about all that. When dad told me you were coming by tonight I wanted to come in so I could talk to you. I really am sorry. If there is anything I can do to help Logan or his girlfriend, please tell me."

Josef sighs. "Sydney I think for a while your best course is to stay very far away from Veronica. She's not likely to forgive you any time soon."

Sydney nods solemnly thinking of the fearless little blond. "Yea, I'm not so she what she would have tried to do to me if Mr. St. John hadn't stopped her."

Josef snorts. "Just stay away from her. She is very adept at staking vampires."

Sarah watches the woman and nudges Josef. Josef smiles at her. "Sydney I want you to meet Sarah." The two women smile at each other Sarah looks at Josef. "Is she the one?"

Josef nods and before Sydney realizes what's happening, Sarah hugs her tight.

Sydney backs up and looks at Josef and Sarah questioningly.

Sarah smiles at Sydney gratefully. "If not for you I would still be trapped in that bed. I know what you did was wrong and what happened with Logan and Veronica but for myself, I just want to say thank you."

Sydney nods. "You're the lady they went to New York to help. I'm glad something good came out of my stupidity." Sydney turns to Josef. "You'll be glad to know that I'm thinking things through before I do them these days and if I'm still not sure I'm talking them over with my dad."

Josef nods. "That's good to hear. Sydney, just remember that as a member on the community you have an impact that can be felt by all of us. It's important that you use your head."

Sydney nods. "I will. Mr. Kostan, dad is in the lab. Now that I've talked to you, I'm going home. It was nice meeting you Sarah, and I'm glad you're not sick anymore."

Sarah waves as Sydney leaves. "It was nice meeting you too Sydney."

They enter Grant's lab and he's sitting at his desk writing up lab results. He sensed they were in the outer office talking to Sydney and he is ready for them. He stands and motions to Sarah. "So, how are you feeling?"

She smiles broadly at him. "Great."

Josef nods. "And I want her to stay that way so we need you to test her blood."

Grant nods and motions Sarah over to one of his tables. "See this glass slide?"

"Yes."

Grant has a sharp probe in his hand. "I'm going to need a couple of drops of blood. I'm going to pierce your finger and we'll take a look and see if you're developing the anomalies again. How does that sound?"

Sarah nods and holds her hand out. Grant quickly pierces her finger and squeezes some blood on to the slide on the desk. He starts to hand Sarah a tissue but before he can Josef is gently kissing her finger and smiling into her eyes as he licks the small droplets of blood away. Sarah is watching Josef with desire clearly in her eyes.

Grant smiles as he takes the slide and moves to the microscope to see the condition of her blood. He hopes for both their sakes that her blood is still free of the anomalies. Grant focuses in on the slide and smiles as he sees her blood is just as it was a week ago in New York after the last transfusions. He looks at Josef. "Have fun."

Josef smiles. "It's good?"

"Yes and I'm sure if she was going to develop the anomalies again it would have begun to happen by now. I don't think she's ever going to have that problem again."

Josef smiles at Grant. "Thank you for everything."

Grant smiles. "It's fine. Go. Get out of here."

Josef turns to Sarah. "Let's go home."

Sarah can hear the deep desire in his voice. She feels her control slipping. She nods as Josef steers her out the door waving to Grant as they leave.

The ride home is agonizingly long. At one point Sarah reaches for Josef's shirt and starts to slowly unbutton it. He takes her wrists and holds them in one hand while he drives. "Kitten if you start that now I'm going to pull over and take you right here by the side of the road and having a cop pull up while we are exchanging all kinds of bodily fluids might be just a tad hard to explain."

Sarah nods but it's almost impossible for her to stop watching at Josef's every move.

Josef smiles. She may not be as far behind as most fledglings but being in the bed didn't change one thing. The coming months are going to be an awful lot of fun. Josef pulls up to the front door and gets out. He goes to Sarah's side of the car and she's waiting for him.

Robert hears the car and moves to the door. He begins to open it but he sense's Sarah and Josef's mood. He laughs and goes back to the kitchen.

Josef opens the door and he quickly guides Sarah up the stairs to his room. Josef shuts the bedroom door and turns to Sarah. Before he can move he feels her hands pulling his shirt out of his pants and her hands are running up under it. He hears her let out a small gasp of delight. Quickly Josef takes off his suit jacket and pulls his tie free. Sarah is running her hands over Josef's skin everywhere she can. He lets out a moan and lets her explore his body. He feels her begin to nip and lick his skin. He knows that these first few times might seem frantic and frenzied until she gets a handle on her emotions. Josef gently begins to undress her. He smiles, as she doesn't even seem to notice him removing her clothing, so intent is she on getting him out of his.

Josef takes her hand and pulls her to the bed. He lays down next to her and she begins her exploration anew. He relishes the feeling of her body next to his. He's wanted her for so long. He lets his lover; his fledgling takes the lead. He feels her fangs running a long his collarbone. "Josef I need to taste you. Please?" He hears the desperation and desire in her voice.

"Baby, yes."

He steadies himself for a bite that he's sure will not have too much finesse in her rush and inexperience. To his surprise she slows and gently sinks her fangs into his neck.

Sarah begins to drink in Josef's blood and the feelings of love and desire she can taste hit her full on. She begins to moan as all his emotions and her own swirl around her. She releases him and stares at him in wonderment. She tries to speak but no words convey the feelings she has in that moment. To know how much, he loves her almost threaten to swallow her. She looks into his eyes and she's sees the love that is there for her and everything falls into place in that one second like it never has before.

Josef gently pulls her into his arms. "My turn." He tips her head exposing her neck and gently sinks his fangs into the delicate skin of her neck. Josef tastes and feels the same love and desire returned to him. He listens to the moans of ecstasy as he drinks from her. He smiles and wonders how long it will be before they leave their bedroom.

I know this isn't where this ended originally but this is one of those things that always bugged me. From here the second part of this story will be the same but under a different title. As with what I've done so far little will change and probably nothing that anyone will notice but me. The next one is now called Baby will you wait for me. So anyway, Family is complete.
