Chapter 25: New Beginnings

Clubhouse

With everyone finally rested up, and clean; Lauren called for some takeout, and as he promised; Ethan footed the bill. Which was large, thanks to Shay's demands. Everything she ordered was fried and was so unhealthy.

The conversation was light, until it was completely non-existent. They'd never been left alone this long with it being just the four of them. So Bo thought it would be fun if they played a little drinking game. They were always fun.

It was Lauren's turn to go first, "Never have I ever, done body shots…" she held out her drink, immediately seeing the three of them take a sip of their drinks. "… Wow. I sure feel left out" she laughed sadly.

"There's always time to fix that…" Bo kissed her cheek. Now it was her turn, "Okay! Never have I ever, been to China" she started off with an easy one, not wanting the game to get out of hand like she knew it probably would. She watched Shay and Ethan both take a drink.

She honestly thought Lauren would've taken a drink too, given her colourful background but she didn't. That was a surprise.

Now it was Shay's turn, and she wasn't going to say hers without aiming it at someone. "Never have I ever…" She turned her head to her brother, "… Broken a promise to my sibling" she loved the look on his face right now.

Ethan finished the rest of his cup of beer, "Walked right into that one didn't I?" Since she went there first, he was going to retaliate. This game may've been a bad idea on Bo's part. Because it was about to get real messy. "Never have I ever, almost killed my brother's Girlfriend" he smiled at her.

Shay didn't say anything, he had her there. So she knocked back her cup of beer, grabbing the whiskey bottle to have something a little stronger. "Never have I ever, borrowed my sister's iPod without asking!" She inched closer to him.

He took a drink, "I left you a note! At least I never stole a hundred bucks from your wallet when I had hidden it especially from you! How'd you even know where it was?" He'd always wanted to know that.

"Easy, you told me without evening knowing! I've been manipulating you before I even knew the meaning of the word" Shay laughed at him.

Yeah, Bo was definitely regretting playing this game now.

"Yeah right! I think I'd know if you were manipulating me, I am after all; older and wiser than you" Ethan said.

"Then how do I know that you hide your money under your pillow?" Shay asked him.

Ethan shook his head with a smirk, "It's not under my pillow, it's taped to the back of my toilet tank!" he thought he was getting the upper hand on her when really she'd just done the thing that he was yelling at her for. "Damn it!" He scolded himself.

Shay just laughed, pouring herself another shot. "You are so stupid…" She was almost going to wet herself this was so funny. "… Older and wiser my ass!" She shook her head in disappointment, drinking her shot.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Lauren yelled, clapping her hands. "While this little game was a nice idea that Bo came up with, maybe it wasn't the best tactic. Especially not when you two bicker like a bunch of five year olds. Is this what you're always like?" She had to ask them.

They both nodded, speaking in unison; "Pretty much"

That wasn't good enough, "Well that stops now, be nicer to each other. We've seen you almost die for each other, so this petty squabbling is just ridiculous. And you're gonna stop it right now, understand?" She made it clear.

"Yes Ma'am" Ethan nodded, he knew when he was being told off.

Shay on the other hand, wasn't so easily intimidated. "What's it in for me?" She wasn't in the habit of just giving things over without a price. Not teasing her brother was like asking her not to breathe air, it was a habit.

Bo had to admit that she was terrified of the look on Lauren's face right now, she'd never seen her like this. It was kind of hot.

"Umm, how about I don't make you sit on the bottom step of the stairs for twenty minutes? Or would you like to test me?" Lauren wasn't playing around; she'd accepted the fact that she was a Mother. But she wasn't going to let her kids run rampant either.

Shay never really remembered being told off by Lauren when she was a kid, mostly because she never did anything wrong. But being raised by Jack moulded her into a little bit of a troublemaker, which was why she challenged authority. "The naughty step huh? That'd be new" she chuckled.

"Choice is yours kid" Lauren stared off with her.

Normally, Shay wouldn't care what kind of trouble she got into. But right now, Lauren was peering into her skull and it was scaring the shit out of her. So she was going to bow out of this one. She turned to her brother, extending her hand. "Truce?"

He nodded, with a smile. "Truce" he shook her offered hand.

"That, was amazing" Bo was speechless.

"It's all in the voice…" Lauren winked at her, she thought maybe this was a good time to tell them about their news. She and Bo both sat forward on the couch, "… So uh, there's something we need to let you guys know of. Something pretty big" she smiled happily.

Shay and Ethan locked eyes, then turned back to them. They didn't know what this was about but they already didn't like the grin on both their faces. "How big?" He asked.

Bo decided to speak up for a change, "Like, we're getting married; big…" She watched them just stare at her, were they not happy about this? "… Why aren't you guys more excited? The future's finally getting back on track"

Actually, that wasn't necessarily true. "The future won't be back on track until the Jack of this time, is dead…" Ethan said, but this was good news and he was happy for them. "… But you know, this is still good. It's a little sooner that what we were told, but it's not like it matters anymore" he got up, going to hug them.

The only one who needed time to catch up was Shay, but she did eventually. "Yay! Congrats!" She ran over to hug them too. This was a good thing; so then why did it feel weird?

"I know that we have to kill Jack, and we will I promise. But before we do, we were really hoping that you guys would stay for the wedding. It would really mean a lot to us if you did" Bo said, she wanted them here for it.

It wasn't as if they had a time schedule to stick to, but they also didn't want to get comfortable here. Otherwise they would never leave. "We'd love to" Shay smiled, she could give them this.

A little later, and Bo and Lauren were upstairs so that Lauren could dress the rest of Bo's Cobra bites. They were healing fast, but would still be on her body for a couple of days. Shay and Ethan were sitting on the couch, arguing over who got the remote.

"What'd Mom just say to us?!" Ethan pulled it more to his side.

"She said to stop bickering, but that just meant in that moment. I wanna watch Walking Dead!" Shay gritted her teeth, pulling it towards her. Over the time she'd spent here, she'd stumbled on some amazing past tv shows.

Ethan fought her grip, it was strong. "No, we're watching the discovery channel! It's shark week!" He loved learning about animals. And he wasn't losing this fight.

To intensify their strength, they both shifted their eyes to blue. Using their Fae strength, they kept tugging and tugging until finally the remote cracked in half and they both had a piece each. Their eyes reverted back to normal, as they realised what they'd just done.

And it wasn't Bo or Lauren's wrath that they were worried about.

It was Kenzi's.

This tv was her baby, and she coveted it. They were so dead when she got back, the fact that they were her niece and nephew wasn't going to save them. And now they were regretting closing the time portals because now they couldn't escape.

"What's with all the yelling-" Bo and Lauren got to the first floor, seeing the terrible scene. "Oh no! Oh no, no, no!" Bo ran to the couch, taking the broken pieces from their hands. "Ronald" she sighed, closing her eyes. Kenzi had named him Ronald the remote, she was going to lose her shit.

"What did I just say about arguing?!" Lauren couldn't believe this, she literally just told them to stop and they defied her. This is what being raised by a devil had done to them.

Shay pointed at Ethan, "It was all his fault, I just wanted to watch Walking Dead. But he snatched the remote to watch some boring ass show about sharks! Who watches shows about Sharks?!" She scoffed.

"Maybe people who like to learn things" Ethan replied.

"Oh yeah, you wanna learn something? Then read a book on sharks!" Shay shouted.

Lauren was sick of this, and they had bigger issues to deal with right now. "Both of you to the stairs now! You are going to sit there until you learn your lesson! Go, now!" She pointed to the stairs, waiting for them to leave. "How bad do you think Kenzi will react?" She asked Bo.

Bo tried to see if she could glue it back together, but there was no use. Ronald was dead. "On a scale of one to ten? A billion!" She walked over to the kitchen counter, placing the remote down onto the counter. "Can you believe them? I don't even think three year olds argue like they do" she was so disappointed.

"I guess that's what living with Jack did to them, they had authority but not a lot of discipline. Is there any chance we can get a new one before Kenzi gets back?" Lauren wondered.

"A new what?"

They both turned around to see both Kenzi and Tamsin walking in with their suitcases. Oh, this was not good. Not good at all. Bo stepped in front of the table, hiding the mess. "Bottle of vodka…" She answered with a worried smile. "… We kinda drank what was left of yours, sorry Kenz"

Kenzi waved a hand, "That's no prob Bodacious! I brought a whole lot of booze back with me from my trip. I hit a concession cart on the way out of our room and stocked up. There's enough of these bottles to last us for months!" She held up a bag of small alcohol bottles.

"So, anything exciting happen while we were gone?" Tamsin asked, then stopped when she saw Shay and that tall guy sitting on the stairs. She always forgot his name. "What's with those two?" She pointed to them.

"They're on a time out" Lauren answered.

Shay heard that and she was sick of sitting here, "Yeah about that? We're really sorry that we broke the remote. Can we get back up now, my butt hurts!" That stairs was practically made of stone.

Bo closed her eyes when Shay uttered the words, she was really hoping to hide it from Kenzi until she ran out to get a new one. But the jig was up, because now Kenzi's eyes were firmly on her and they were angry. "Kenz, calm down. I was just on my way out to get a new one"

Kenzi ran to the kitchen table, she could see Bo was hiding something. Then she saw it, "Oh, Renaldo…" She picked up the pieces. "… What did they do to you?" She was weeping.

Lauren knew that Kenzi was a special little human, but even this was a little ridiculous. "We're sorry Kenzi, and so are they. I'm not done punishing them yet, either. Don't worry, Bo will run out to get a new one and then everything will be back to normal" she smiled.

"And what if I want to watch Tv now? Did you ever think about that smarty pants?!" Kenzi was in a very volition state right now.

"Umm, I'm sure there's buttons on the side of the tv. Why don't you just use those until Bo gets back?" Lauren thought that was a good idea.

But that just caused Kenzi to step closer to her with a frown, "Why don't I just use those?!" She repeated her words. "Am I an animal? No! I should've just stayed in New York. Everything was so much simpler there!" She didn't know why she left.

Shay and Ethan were sick of this, so they got up from the stairs and joined the fun. "Jeez, it's just a remote. What's the big deal?" Shay didn't get it.

"Okay, I know you're the daughter of my bestie and I probably will end up loving you one day down the line. But right now, you're just the girl that broke my remote! So I'm gonna head to the Dal, and mourn. Come on Tamsin!" Kenzi went to the door, waiting for Tamsin to follow.

Only Tamsin was staring at Ethan, and she was making him very uncomfortable. "Hey" she winked at him.

That was when Bo stepped in between them, "No way! Take your eyes off of him before I take them from you!" She warned her, this was her son for god's sake.

"What's your problem? You've already got a blonde, why can't I have him?" Tamsin went to move closer to Ethan but he just blushed, standing next to Bo.

"Because I'm her son…" He said. "… And I'm spoken for, sorry. I'm flattered though, so thanks" he was flattered, she was a good looking lady. But she had a kid of her own to have, and if that never happened then Shay would literally rip his heart off.

Tamsin widened her eyes, "Another one?!" She looked at him, and then back to Bo. "Well, you guys are just shooting them out aren't you? I hope you don't take after your devil of a sister here…" She locked eyes with Shay, remembering what she did. "… We still have to settle up for that"

Shay folded her arms with a smile, "I'm free when you are" she was held back by Ethan who was probably not finding this that funny, even though he was laughing.

"No, she's not free. Look, Shay's sorry for what she did to you. She wasn't in her right mind back then, say you're sorry Shay" he poked her in her back, making her jerk.

That had to have been a joke, because she wasn't going to be sorry for something that she had no control over. It was Jack who had to apologise, not her. "For what? I didn't do anything" she kept her arms folded.

Ethan smiled at Tamsin, this was maddening. "Say it!" His sister continued to refuse. "Say it!" She shook her head again. "If you don't say it, I'll power down your sword and you'll never be able to use it again" he threatened her.

She squinted her eyes in an angry stare, that was her kryptonite. Her sword was the only thing she loved, besides Sasha. And she wouldn't defy Ethan over that, because if he did that then she wouldn't be able to reverse it. "Fine…" She turned to Tamsin. "… I'm sorry for knocking you out cold, happy?"

"Not really. It's a start though…" Tamsin nodded, "… But I've got my eye on you" she pointed at her, then left like Kenzi said.

"Doesn't everyone?" Shay was a little full of herself, but she soon snapped out of it when Ethan hit the back of her head. "Are you looking to start a fight?!" She spun around to look at him, "If I have to apologise then now so does he! Make him!" She told Bo and Lauren.

They just looked at him, the three of them were laughing. They didn't have to tell Ethan to do anything, he was the good one out of the two. "I'm sorry…" He told her. "… See how simple those two words are to say? You should practice" he ruffled her hair, earning a glare.

Shay mimicked his words childishly, "Bite me"

"No one's biting anyone. What's gonna happen right now, is that I'm gonna run out to the store and get a new remote. Which you guys are paying for, so hand me your stash…" Bo held out her hands, both of them handing her what they had on them. It was enough for a new tv too. "… Then I'm gonna head to the Dal, and let everyone else know about our nuptials" she kissed Lauren's cheek.

"You mind if I tag along?" Ethan asked. "Unless I'm still on punishment?" He looked to Lauren, he didn't really want to be sat in this house with Shay. They'd end up killing each other before long.

Lauren smiled, shaking her head. "No, you can go"

That was when Shay got a little mad, "Really? He, gets leave and I have to stay? You know, I'm starting to think that you guys are picking favourites. Which is so mean, and wrong; since we don't exist yet!" Everyone always loved Ethan.

"No one's taking favourites. God, you're so paranoid, and dramatic. You're staying here, because there's nothing for you to do out there. Besides, I want to have a talk" Lauren told her, she wanted to check on Shay and see how she was coping without Sasha.

Ethan whispered in Shay's ear, "You're in trouble" he moved away before she could grab any part of him. With that, he and Bo left the house.

Lauren heard what he said, and that wasn't the case. "You're not in trouble, I promise…" She placed her hands around her daughter's shoulders, walking her over to the couch. "… I just wanna know how you're doing" she sat down with her.

"Oh!" Shay started laughing, she understood what this was now. "You think now that Sasha's gone, that I'm gonna go off the deep end and crack. Am I about right?"

"Well, it wouldn't be the first time that you've let your temper and emotions get the better of you. Would it? I just need to know that you're okay" Lauren was just checking. The last thing they needed was another rampage.

"I'm fine" Shay said.

But Lauren had a hard time believing that. "You don't have to pretend with me…" she told her. "… What happened to the sweet little girl who was terrible at playing hide and seek?" she asked with a laugh.

Shay smiled, remembering the memory she showed her. "She grew up…" she knew what Lauren was doing. "… Look, I get what you're trying to do. And I love that you care, it's been a while since anyone has taken the time to. But I'm not that little girl anymore, she's long gone"

"I don't believe that…" Lauren replied. "… I think she's buried deep, but she's still in there. And the only the thing that's stopping you from finding her again, is your overbearing fear. You're scared, Shay" she said.

"I'm not scared of anything" Shay kept her gaze.

This was her problem, and Lauren kept seeing it over and over again. "You continue to lie to yourself, and it's not healthy. You're scared of letting go of your old life, the one you've lived for so long. You're scared that if we fix the future, that deep down a part of you will miss it" she said.

"Why would I miss it?" Shay frowned, that didn't make sense.

Lauren had an answer for that too, "Because it's all you know…" She was pretty good at this whole Mother thing, to be honest she had her doubts. "… And it's hard to give up something and change your whole life. And we don't know if you'll remember anything when you go back"

"I hope I don't…" Shay muttered, "… I mean, just the stuff with Jack. Everything else was okay, I guess. I'm just ready for a new start. Oh and can I ask you a favour?" This was important.

"Sure" Lauren nodded.

"When I'm a kid, in the 'new world'…" Shay made quotation signs with her hands, "… Promise me that you won't make me take up Piano" even though Sasha gave her a little pep talk on the subject, she honestly didn't want to learn it.

Lauren frowned, she didn't even know that she played Piano. "You can play piano?" she saw her nod. "Why wouldn't you want to learn something like that? It's a beautiful art form, some of the most sophisticated people in the world played piano" she didn't understand.

But Shay could sum up her question in three words. "Jack taught me"

"Oh…" Lauren caught on. "… Yeah, okay. No piano for you. Ever, I promise. We're gonna make sure that you and Ethan have a better life Shay, you don't have to worry about reliving that nightmare. It's okay to let your fear go" she scooted forward, hugging her.

Shay held on, any hug from Lauren was welcomed. "I'll try, for you" she smiled, hugging her tighter.

The Dal - Five Days Later

Since Shay and Ethan didn't want to stay here longer than they had to, not because they didn't want to but because the longer they stayed the more they would get attached to this way of living. It wasn't all bad though, Bo and Lauren thought it was the best excuse to bring their wedding forward.

They'd planned a cute little ceremony in the Dal, once it had been pimped out to their liking. Everything was taken care of, the flowers, the dresses, everything. Shay moaned when she had to wear one, but that was because she was always used to battle attire.

Ethan on the other hand was loving his fitted tux, he felt like a spy. He was just checking on Lauren as she was getting ready in one of the bedrooms under the bar. And when he saw the sight of his mother in her dress, he was in awe. "Wow"

Lauren turned around with a smile, "Wow what?"

"Nothing, just…" he was speechless. "… Wow. You look beautiful, Mom" he'd gotten used to calling them that.

"Thank you…" Lauren always loved complements. "… And may I say, that you are looking very handsome yourself. You just have a little problem here…" she walked up to him, fixing the angle of his tie. "… There, perfect" she smiled at him.

There was another reason why Ethan wanted to come and see how she was getting along, "So uh, since Mom has Trick giving her away; I was wondering if you'd let me walk you down the aisle? It'd be an honour" he really wanted to do this.

"I'd love that…" Lauren was distracted from this tender moment, but the fact that she had only now realised something about Ethan's face. "… Did you shave?" she touched his chin, seeing no stubble whatsoever.

Ethan nodded, touching his cheek. "Yeah, Shay made me. She said I looked like a homeless man in a tux, so. It was either do it myself, or let her do it. And I'd rather not arm her with a blade of any kind" he chuckled.

Lauren could understand that, "You look good. Actually, you remind me of my brother a little bit" she couldn't help but notice it.

"You have a brother?" Ethan never knew this.

"Yeah, or had. I haven't seen him in over a decade. I don't even know if he's still alive. But you remind me of him, it's your eyes, and your hair, and your features" She kept going on.

He was going to stop her there, "So basically everything?" he smiled, hearing the sound of the violins starting in the distance. "I think that's our cue…" he nodded to the door. "… Ready?" he held out his arm to her.

Lauren took a deep breath; she was actually getting married right now. This was huge. "I don't think I'll ever be ready for something this life changing, but I know that I have a lot to look forward to" she smiled at him.

"I'll say" He waited for her to grab his arm. When she did, he took her out of the room.

Main Bar

Shay stood opposite to Kenzi, wearing a dress of all things. She'd never been in a situation where she had to wear one, and she didn't like it. But this was her Parents' day, she could take one for the team and not complain for once.

She noticed that Dyson and Tamsin were sitting next to each other, they were laughing up a storm so she thought that was a good thing. Maybe tonight was the start of their future. Not have Sasha in her life would destroy her.

The music began to play, and Bo was the first to walk out with Trick at her side. Wearing a gorgeous slim fitting white satin dress. She got to the wedding arch they'd set up and looked at Shay who was pulling at the back of her dress. "Would you stop that?"

"I can't help it…" Shay groaned, "… Having no pants on is weird! I feel naked" she hated this, jeans were safe zone.

"Well you're just gonna have to feel naked for a little while longer. Look, just get through the ceremony and once we start the reception you can go and change. Deal?" Bo didn't want to hear her fidgeting when they were saying their vows.

Shay smiled, "Deal…" she already brought jeans with her anyway. She sensed her brother from the left, when she turned her head she couldn't believe the sight. "… Whoa" her Mother looked smoking.

Bo followed her gaze, seeing Lauren in her amazing gown. "Whoa is right" she agreed with Shay's statement.

Ethan walked Lauren to the arch, then kissed her on the cheek and also Bo before standing next to his sister. The Ceremony went off without a hitch, which was a good thing. Over the last couple of days, Ethan had sensed someone watching them.

It could've been a straggler Assassin left lurking since they closed the portals. He figured that most of them would just use their time wisely here, maybe try and make some easy money with the knowledge that they had. But he was being extra vigilant today.

Thanks to their deal, Shay has changed into a casual but nice shirt and pants after the ceremony. She couldn't take that frilly dress any longer. She walked back out to the bar, seeing her brother pouring a glass of bourbon for himself, and one for her when he noticed she was approaching. "What's up with you?" she asked, taking it.

"Nothing" Ethan shook his head.

Shay looked at him dumb, "It's me you're talking to…" she said. "… You were all happy earlier, now your face is almost touching the ground. What's the matter?" she asked again.

He swirled his drink with his hand, "It's just, hard to imagine living a life like this…" he sighed, looking over to his newlywed Parents who were getting very cosy over in the booth they were sitting in. "… Everyone's so happy, it's weird"

"I think when you've lived a life as depressing as ours, it's gonna feel like that at first. But when we go back we won't remember any of this anyway, so what's the big deal?" Shay sipped her drink.

"And what if we do?" he asked her, "What if we do remember everything?"

She tapped his shoulder, "Then it won't matter, because we'll have the better life anyway. The one we've lived here; we'll forget about it in time. Everything will turn out fine" she nodded.

Ethan frowned with a smile, "Since when're you so optimistic?" he'd never seen this side of his sister before, and it was very strange.

"Since now…" Shay smiled back, "… Come on, look at them!" she pointed to their Parents, seeing them very loved up and laughing. "How can that, not give you hope that we'll make it? Lighten up brother, our nightmare is soon to end" she winked at him, refilling his glass and making a toast with him.

As they were laughing and drinking, Ethan had that cold shiver again and looking at his sister's face he could see that she felt it too. "You sense that?" he watched her nod. "Back entrance, let's go" he and Shay quietly slipped out of the party.

Back Entrance

As they walked outside, they noticed the feel in the air. It was filled with fear, and anger. Shay focused on the person's energy, it was familiar. She knew who it was. "Scott!" she yelled, "We know you're there, show yourself"

Suddenly, a young man appeared in between them. "I forget that you're not a fan of my tricks" he chuckled.

"You say it like you have more than one trick…" Shay said, "… Invisibility is all you've got in your bag. What're you doing here Scott?" she asked him.

"Our world was fine before you and your Brother were created…" Scott said. "… I've come here to finish the job that no one else could" he didn't like being stuck here, and he wanted to go home. In order to do that, he needed to kill the people who created them in the first place.

Ethan laughed, standing with his hands inside his pockets. "Do you honestly believe that I would allow you harm my Parents on the day of their wedding?" He frowned at him, "What did you think was gonna happen here? There's one of you…" He pointed at him. "… There's two of us…" He nodded to his sister. "… Did you really think you'd have a chance?"

That was when Shay sensed something else, Scott wasn't hear to hurt anyone. "I don't think he did…" She said, stepping forward. "… He's not here to kill us. No, he wants us to kill him. Don't you Scott?" she could tell.

Scott took a breath, bowing his head. "I don't know this world…" He said. "… The sounds, the smells, everything's different. I don't like it. I just want to go back home. I knew if I came after your precious Parents, that one of you would give me what I wanted. Care to do a buddy a favour?"

"We're not buddies" Shay said.

"Fine, enemies! Just kill me! Both of you have grown up doing it your whole life, so just do it one more time and help me. I can't be here anymore!" Scott yelled. He just wanted to go back to where he belonged.

Ethan stepped forward, shaking his head at his sister. "Whatever you think you know about us, that's not who we are anymore. Killing you because you've asked us, would be murder. We won't be part of your little scheme. If you want to die, you could do it yourself. Jump of a bridge, step in front of a bus. Don't ask us" he went to move passed him, when Scott tried to attack him.

But Shay was quick in disarming him and holding him from behind, "Forgot how much of a sneaky little bastard you are…" she exhaled, that was a close one. "… Do you know how long it took to find a tux to fit him?! And you were gonna ruin it! Can we kill him for that?" She asked her brother.

Walking back, Ethan reached into the inside pocket of his jacket. He had his sword just in case, never knowing what might come up. He held the rod, setting it to the mode of a short dagger. "I don't want to do this, but you're not making it easy for my Scotty" he didn't want to kill him for no reason.

He knew that Scott attacked him so that they'd kill him anyway. But that would just make them murderers all over again, and they weren't supposed to be doing that anymore.

"Please Ethan…" Scott begged, "… You're a man of your word. I'm begging you, just free me from this hell of a world. Don't think of it as killing me, think of it as sending me back. I don't care about your Family, I just want to go home" he breathed.

Shay looked at her brother from over Scott's shoulder, "E? It's what he wants" she was trying to think of this as what Scott said, freeing him. Not murdering him. Once dead, his body would disappear, it wouldn't stay here. Maybe it was a way of sending him home.

Ethan powered up his dagger, he didn't want to do this, but it was what Scott wanted. He kept looking down at his feet, twirling the blade in his hands. "Tell me, that this is what you really want" he stood close to him, making sure.

"It is" Scott closed his eyes, preparing himself.

With his consent, Ethan drove his dagger quickly into Scott's chest and into his heart. "You're free now Scott, you can go home" he waited for him to die, watching his body vanish and all that was left was Ethan's dagger, coated in blood.

Shay still always found it weird, how she could be holding someone and then they would just vanish in her arms. She walked up to her brother, touching his shoulder. "You did the right thing, it's what he wanted"

"I just killed a man, and somehow you think it's a good thing" Ethan didn't like what just happened.

"No I don't, but you can't think of it as an actual murder. It was a mercy killing, he wanted it, he asked for it" She said, suddenly she sensed someone coming. So she snatched her brother weapon from him, holding it behind her back and powering it down.

It was Bo.

"Hey, we were wondering where you guys got to. What're you doing out here? It's freezing!" Bo had no idea why they were just standing in the middle of the alleyway.

Shay smiled, "Yeah, sorry; we just stepped out for some air. Is everything okay?"

"It's amazing…" Bo blushed, she loved being married. It had only been an hour, but it was heaven. And she could only imagine how many more blissful years there were to come after this. "… But Kenzi is insisting that we cut the cake. And she's getting restless, so are you guys done out here?"

Ethan nodded, "We'll be right in…" he waited for Bo to go back inside, before he took his sword back from his sister and placed it back inside his pocket. "… I'm sorry, I just thought we were done with the whole killing thing. That's all"

"We are done with it. So can you put a smile back on that face of yours, because if you're not smiling when there's cake being handed out then there's definitely something wrong with you…" Shay laughed, "… We good?" She held out her hand to him.

"We're always good little sister…" He slapped her hand away and hooked his arm around her neck, "… Come on, let's get some cake!" They both laughed on their way back inside.

Things were changing for the better now, and hopefully that was the last kill he would ever have to make.

A/N: So, this Chapter was kind of a glimpse into what life would be like for Bo and Lauren with their kids. With the arguing, and the disciplining. And I had to put the wedding into this one, because I'm pretty sure that the next chapter will be the last in these series. With an Epilogue, maybe. I might need some time to clean things up.

But anyway, let me know what you guys think. Much love xoxo.
