"Does this place ever not have people buying guns?" Nicole groaned setting her binoculars down in frustration.

"That's Purgatory for you Haught." Wynonna chuckled lowering her pair as well.

Both women were sprawled out on the top of a hill almost half a kilometre from O'Grady's hunting outpost. Since realising it was him they were after the group had taken to surveilling the area almost constantly; trying to gain insight on how to effectively stage an attack. Wynonna herself had been there at for at least 12 hours each of the last three days. She had pushed for this under the insistence that should anything go awry and they be discovered at least she'd get a chance to shoot him, even if it wasn't according to plan.

"I still think we should do it at night." Wynonna groaned, rolling from her stomach to lay flat on her back, staring up at the cloudy sky. "Then we wouldn't need to worry about anyone needing to buy a gun and stumbling in on us, or getting caught in the cross fire."

Nicole rubbed her temples, even though she no longer had a heart beat, somehow she'd developed a pulsing headache in the last hour. "We've been over this Wynonna." She said, picking up her binoculars again. "You've seen this property. It's almost completely surrounded by trees. If he manages to get into them and it's dark out we'd lose him, then where would we be?"

Wynonna huffed but didn't retort.

"I think we should do it tomorrow." Nicole said after a few minutes of silence. This caught the heir's attention. So much so that she sat up so abruptly that the taller woman had to yank her back down to prevent her being seen.

"What do you mean tomorrow?" Wynonna said in a terrible attempt at a whisper.

"The longer we surveil this place the higher likelihood that he'll figure out he's the last Revenant and book it out of there."

"Sure." Wynonna nodded sarcastically. "But that doesn't solve this whole problem of this town is obsessed with buying guns and a civilian could get caught in the crossfire.

Nicole chewed on her lip for a moment. "We should do it just after closing." She said after a moment. "Like 5 minutes after. That way we know he's still in there but there's barely a risk to anyone showing up."

If Wynonna wasn't so nervous about the premonition of killing the final Revenant the next day she might have asked Nicole why they'd spent the last three day surveilling if Nicole had already come to this conclusion. However, deep inside the Earp knew why. The redhead was stalling. As much as Nicole was passionately involved in the planning of the attack; Wynonna could tell her sister's fiancé was exhibiting some forms restraint and doubt in creating ease to the process. Who could blame her, she was after all planning her own demise as much as she was O'Grady's.

Wynonna felt her own heart clench at the thought of shooting Nicole.

"You doing okay Haught?" She said, trying to muster any compassion she could while still keeping up her emotional wall.

The officer was quiet for a moment. "I'll be okay Wynonna." She said through tight lips. Then to the heir's surprise a smile broke out on the taller woman's face.

"Though, how funny would it be if I decided that I didn't want to die? Then I turned into this wild evil mastermind of a Revenant and you'd have to spend the next few years chasing me down."

The two women allowed themselves a moment of quiet laughter. Beyond them the small gun outpost's lights went out to signal closing time. They waited another 15 minutes or so for O'Grady to come out of the shop and load up his truck. From there they knew he would drive down an old dirt road for an hour until he got to a cabin in the middle of the woods. As soon as they realised where O'Grady lived the group had vetoed attacking him there. Not only would they be trying to ambush him in the dark but they would also risk losing him into the trees, or worse, losing one another. The gun outpost was their only option to corner him.

"We should get going." Nicole said as they watched O'Grady drive off. "If we want to do this tomorrow we've got a long night ahead of us.

Wynonna nodded and started packing up her array of snack wrappers and other debris from the last several hours of being on their small hill.

The two drove back to Nicole's house in silence. Anything and everything they could have possibly been said to one another had been said over the last 12 hours while watching the outpost. Nicole had given the Wynonna explicit instructions on how to look after Waverly once she was gone. How to help keep the younger woman calm, her favourite guilty pleasures, and even made the brunette promise to allow Waverly to not be herself for a while after, to let her grieve, but not for too long. While Wnyonna had found the information helpful, it still stung for her to think of a world without Nicole in it.

As she drove the heir side glanced over at the redhead. Nicole was looking out the truck's window so intently you'd have thought she was trying to memorise every detail of it. However, she must have felt Wynonna's eyes on her so she redirected her gaze to the heir.

"How do you think you and Alice will get along?" The redhead asked.

Taken a back Wynonna thought for a moment. The thoughts of Alice coming home had of course crept into her mind the last few days, especially when she was trying to let sleep take her. But out of respect for Nicole she hadn't mentioned her complicated excitement to anyone. She felt as though expressing excitement would be insensitive to Nicole.

"Please Wynonna." The taller woman said after a moment. "I know all of this is really complicated." She paused, reeling in her own emotions that were threatening to spill out of her in the form of tears or shouting. "But." Nicole composed herself. "I think you will be a great mom, and I want to hear how you think you will handle the whole thing."

Wynonna chewed on her lip for a moment, eyes fixated on the road.

"I'm a bit scared honestly." She said finally. "I didn't exactly have the most typical up bringing and I don't want that for Alice."

Nicole nodded in understanding. She too had that thought of her complicated childhood and had once dreamed of how she and Waverly could do better than either sets of their parents had. Ignoring the painful jolt that hit her body at the realisation that she and Waverly would never raise a family Nicole placed a hand on Wynonna's shoulder.

"You will be a great mom." She smiled. "I've seen how you look after people Earp. You literally put so many people's well being above your own. Being a mom and looking after someone completely will come easy to you. You'll do great."

"I want to learn how to bake." The words tumbled out of Wynonna's mouth so quickly she didn't even have time to feel embarrassed about them. "Alice should learn how to bake, and… and have memories of making cookies with her mom."

Nicole laughed. "Not exactly, what I thought would be at the top of your worry list, I might have thought, which room will be hers, will I put her in day care, how will I handle a teenager but baking is a valid one." The redhead squeezed her friend's shoulder. "Don't worry too much about the baking. Waverly will have that one covered I'm sure."

Wynonna smiled.

"You won't be alone in this Wynonna." Nicole said retracting her hand, leaving Wynonna's shoulder feeling oddly cold. "You've got a lot of people in your life who are rooting for you Wynonna. Alice is going to be one happy kid."

The heir smiled for a moment at the thought. "I wish you could be there for it." She said after a moment. "To watch her grow up, have a future. To be a kickass gay aunt."

Nicole nodded, eyes looking ahead at the road. "Me too Wynonna." She sniffed, willing the tears just behind her eyes to stay there. "But the important thing." She said turning to look back at the brunette. "Is that she will get to grow up and have a future with you, her mom."

The two remained in silence for the rest of the drive until Wynonna pulled into Nicole's driveway.

"Are you sure you want to do this tomorrow?" She asked the redhead as she turned off the engine. "We can wait another day. Give you more time."

Nicole unbuckled her seatbelt and sat still for moment. "Honestly Wynonna." She said truthfully. "I can't have one more day, because if I do, I'm sure I'll ask for another, and then another after that. It's best for us to just get this over with."

Wynonna nodded in understanding. Through the lit windows of the house both women saw Waverly peak through the curtains, making sure it was them and that they were coming in.

"Besides Earp." Nicole said mustering her courage and opening the car door. "You've got a future to get on with too and I'm sure it's going to be one hell of a time."
