Part 25 FINAL
The lovely Christina was quite tearful as the family made to depart, but was cheered as she was invited to visit the family at their home at a time convenient to her. She rushed out to the car as they were about to leave and handed Helle an exquisite patchwork quilt for the new baby's cot.
Helle hugged her protesting that it was too much, but the dear lady whispered tearfully, "Please take this, it was to be for my daughter, but I only had a son… Oh Helle, but your dear one… he is a beautiful man."
Helle kissed their amazing hostess on the temple. "With you as mother there could be no other way. You are always welcome in our home – and I do expect you at the name day celebrations!"
Christina was quite overcome, but smiled through her tears as she waved them off. An athletic brunette approached her from behind as she watched the car disappear over the hill.
"Hey Mum… Hey??… what's happened??"
She simply pulled him into a tight hug and buried her face around the mid chest of her beloved son, "Oh Jacques!"
He led his mother inside and tried to suspend disbelief as she related the events of the previous few days.
A year later to the day she visited the family and was feted for three days as a favorite Aunt. It became a biennial event.
……………………….
The return to the family home was rather anticlimactic after the dramas of the last few days.
Anton's contacts had rid the family home of any intruders or evidence thereof, and he and Gregor stayed for three days following the return, enough time to find out that the renegade Senior Partner had been 'pulled into line', and that the humans were beholden to look after their own, but that the situation with young demon abductions worldwide had reduced by a factor of ten in recent times.
The ruling couple returned to their other duties the day after their return. The Court was convened for a month hence and the family settled back to normality… as much as normality could be for the ruling Aurelians.
The work worldwide was ongoing, their own business interests needing attention, Spike still wrote fiction and the new vampire Xander had his architecture and of late, recreational drawing, and the full blood Connor and consort Helle were plenty busy with their family – and their new status.
Xander, Spike and Connor took a last embrace before Anton left and all shared blood. The hugs and ambrosial exchange was that of brothers and uncles and fathers and sons… it was family.
They all smiled a little as, after thirty minutes or so of 'quiet family time' Connor was called for to help with his son… Helle apparently too tired to be bothered.
As he left in the helicopter with the intrepid Gregor, Anton kissed his three 'boys', "Be well… there is much still to be done."
All three simply replied, "Thank you Sire, we will do our best."
…
Another arc if you want it…. Otherwise that's all folks…
