This is the final part of our journey, I hope you like it. Enjoy the chapter!

About a month after Kate's departure, Dr Mayers heard a silent cry on his usual stroll through the camp. He recognised the cry immediately, it was the same cry he was hearing for a month. He approached the figure sitting down on a big rock

''Helena?'' he made his presence known

She quickly wiped away the tears, only for them to be replaced by new ones ''Dr Mayers'' she said turning her head away

''Don't, dear. Don't turn away, it's alright to cry.'' he said as he sat down on a rock opposite to Helena ''You miss her, I know.'' he started gently and asked ''Why did you stay?''

''How do you mean why I stayed? I have responsibility here, I want to help people.'' stated Helena

''She'll help people too.'' he said

''I can't be some politicians wife.'' said Helena ''Besides, Rones was right- I am a threat to her position.''

''What?!'' Mayers exclaimed ''Helena, what did that idiot tell you?''

''The truth, that Caitlin is better off in England without me.'' she sighed ''It would be a mistake to ruin her career and a chance to help others. No one wants her to have a wife, they want the heir of her parents who will eventually create her own little perfect family. That is something to show off at banquets, royal dinners and other gatherings, not a current girlfriend. And certainly not a current girlfriend who is American, who was thrown out her own home after her parents found out she's gay and not to mention who is 11 years older than her.''

''You're not a current girlfriend to her.'' he said ''You are much more. She deserves happiness and her happiness is, obviously, depending on you. Because I haven't seen her smile honestly in years, even before her parents death.''

''How do you mean before?''

''I'm not sure what she'd told you about her parents, but they weren't on best terms when they died.'' he paused ''Her father and her, actually. Her mother had took his side, though. That had hurt Kate quite a bit, she thought Elizabeth would be on her side, but she was wrong. Right before a flight to Saudi Arabia, Kate and Elizabeth had a fight and separated angry at each other. Day later, Kate got a call about their accident.''

''She never told me that, she just mentioned how it was hard to talk about it and I left it that way.'' said Helena

''Everybody in life had hurt her, this way or another.'' said Mayers ''Idina left her when she was a baby, she had never met her real father; she was raised in loving family, but political one. She thought they would choose her over a political stand, but her father never did and when her mother sided with him, it was a new blow to her heart and soul. She decided to be a robot and successfully became one, until you.''

Helena watched in distance for a moment before Mayers said ''Go to her.''

Kristin sat with her grandmother on the porch while Idina was making them cappuccinos.

''How is your project going?'' asked Kristin

''Very good thank you'' smiled Ann ''Actually, I want you both to attend the fund raising dinner. I have invitations with me.'' smiled Ann

''We'll be there.'' smiled Kristin

''We'll be where?'' asked Idina walking towards them with three cups

''At found raising dinner.'' stated Ann ''Project I was working on is finally finished and we are closing with very big fund raising dinner, supported by UK and US government. It'll take place at UK embassy and all important lords, senators and that kind of people will be there.''

''Oooo creme de la creme.'' laughed Kristin ''Will the queen be there as well?'' she mocked

''Yes.'' said Ann

''What?'' Kristin was shocked

''Yes, she'll be there.'' said Ann

''Wow.'' said Idina looking at Kristin ''We need to get new dresses.''

''You bet.'' Ann said

Helena stepped out of the cab with bag in her hand and looked at enormous mansion in front of her. It looked like a castle, Helena mused and then remembered that Mayers said it actually is a castle, just much smaller than those royal family has. Large estate was surrounded with tall fence and security system, so Helena walked towards the bell and after a deep breath, she pressed the button.

After a moment, the screen was on, man on other side ''Yes?'' he eyed her

''Hello, I'm Dr Regals.'' stated Helena ''I'd like to speak with Kate, if she's here.''

''Madame Black doesn't want to be disturbed.'' spoke the man

''I really need to talk with her.''

''I am sorry, she strictly forbidden me to let anyone in.'' he said firmly

''I understand.'' sighed Helena ''Would you just tell her that I was here?'' she said sadly, turning around to leave

''You never said your name, ma'am.'' man stated

''Helena.'' said Helena turning around again and starting walking away from estate deciding she needs to find another way to get to Kate

After five minutes of walking, a car stopped next to her and familiar man walked out of it ''You left before I could respond'' he stated and bowed slightly ''My name is Timothy, I am butler of Black household.''

''Nice to meet you.'' Helena responded

''Now, if you'd be kind enough to allow me to escort you to the mansion.'' he stated opening back door of a Bentley

''Kate wants to see me?'' Helena asked, hope filled her voice

''Madame Black does not know you are here.'' stated Timothy ''She doesn't want to see anyone, however, I am fairly sure she hadn't expect you to be here. You are, after all, the reason she's in this state.''

''What state?'' asked Helena worried

''I am not sure how should I describe it.'' he stated ''I have never seen her this depressed or lifeless.''

''Please take me to her.'' Helena pleaded

''That is what I am trying.'' he said nodding towards the door he held open

Helena got in and after a moment, Timothy was behind the wheel and car was back towards the mansion.

Kate sat in her study in front of fireplace, her drunken grip on glass filled with whiskey, her gaze firmly focused on the fire. She heard opening of the doors and steps in her direction.

''Tim, I said I'd like to be alone.'' she said trying to be angry,but not really succeeding.

''It's not Tim.'' said voice to her left and Kate looked at Helena standing

''It's you again.'' Kate stated ''I didn't realise I drank enough to have hallucinations again. I must be getting soft.''

''I'm not a halucination'' stated Helena moving into kneeling positions in front of Kate, taking a glass from her hand ''I'm here, Kate.''

''This is interesting'' Kate stated still thinking Helena is hallucination ''I remember you in this position.'' she grinned

''Kate look at me'' Helena putting both her hands on Kate's cheeks ''I am here and I'm not leaving.''

''You are lying'' stated Kate, tears falling down her cheeks ''Everybody always leave and you aren't exception, you are in Africa and I'm here stuck in pain and hallucinations.''

''I love you'' said Helena kissing her ''I will never leave. I am yours forever.''

Kate realised Helena was indeed in front of her ''You promise?''

''Yes.'' Helena kissed her gently

Kate and Helena were sitting in the kitchen with Kate's cook, James.

''Darling, she's a gem.'' he stated pointing at Helena ''I understand why you were so heartbroken over her. She's a keeper.''

''I know'' Kate smiled ''I intend to keep her forever.''

''You better'' Helena joked

''Madame Black'' Timothy stated standing at entrance of kitchen ''You have a guest.''

''Who is it?'' Kate asked turning around

''Just me.'' stated Elizabeth

''Kate, the queen.'' Helena jumped from her seat

''Relax dear'' chuckled the queen ''It's not a formal dinner, I won't bite. Caitlin, my dear, how are you feeling?''

''I'm good.'' smiled Kate and went to hug Elizabeth leaving speechless Helena who was surprised that queen would allow it

''You must be Dr Helena Regals.'' stated Elizabeth offering her hand

''Your Majesty'' Helena responded bowing slightly as she took Elizabeth's hand

''James, I hope you still remember how I like my breakfast.'' said Elizabeth smiling

''Of course I know, your Majesty'' he smiled

''Excellent, I want to have a word with both of you.'' said Elizabeth looking at Caitlin and Helena

Idina and Kristin sat at their table, large ballroom filled with important people and their thick wallets. Idina and Kristin were sipping their drinks with Ann when they heard the conversation between three women sitting at the table next to them

''Did you hear about Lady Black?'' asked thin one

''No, what did she do this time?'' asked short, fat lady with large golden chain around her neck ''Elizabeth and George must be turning over in their graves.''

''I don't know what you expected, she's not royal, they adopted her- probable took her off dying arms of some addict prostitute.'' said third one

Kristin gripped Idina's hand making sure she wouldn't say something

''I think she knows her mother, she's some sort of performer.'' said short, fat lady

''Doesn't matter, what I wanted to say is that she brought that woman of hers.''

''No!'' third responded ''I can't believe she's bringing some bed warmer with her.''

''I heard they're getting married, she serious about it.'' thin one snickered

''Dear god, that will be sight to see.''

Idina was boiling inside and was ready to take their heads, but Kristin and Ann held her back

''Don't do this please.'' Ann pleaded and before Idina responded, voice filled the room

''Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce the arrival of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II accompanied by Lady Black and her fiancee Dr Helena Regals.'' and so entire room watched as three women walked in the ballroom and went to their places at tables.

''They're beautiful.'' stated Kristin looking at Kate and Helena

''Yes, they really are.'' Idina said looking at them, giving her best not to jump and run to her daughter.

After dinner, they were led to a different room: classical music filled their ears along with chatter of people. Kristin, Idina and Ann went to find Kate.

Kate and Helena were standing and talking to some man when they approached them

''Excuse us'' Kate said to the man and moved to three women standing feet away

''Hey'' she smiled and was pulled into bone shattering hug by Kristin

''Don't you ever do that again.'' commanded Kristin ''I was so worried, we both were.''

''I'm sure you were, I needed a time to get myself together.'' responded Kate

''I missed you'' said Idina as she too pulled her in hug

''I missed you too.''

Kate took a step back and smiled to Helena ''Everyone, this is Helena Regals, my fiancee.''

''Pleasure to meet you.''Helena smiled

''Honey, this is Idina, my biological mother, her wife Kristin and Kristin's grandmother Ann.''

All three women smiled and shook hands with Helena.

''Where were you? Almost two years Kate!'' said Kristin ''Where the hell were you?''

''It's a long story'' said Kate taking Helena's hand ''Let's get a drink and I will tell you all about it.'' Kate smiled brightly
