Some explanations you might need – if not, just go on to the next part
AN: The next part was originally the last part of the story. Since I know you all want not only shippy but extremely shippy stuff, I began writing something of a continuation to it, with very shippy stuff (Boy, I'm not making any sense here). But I was kind of up to my neck in school work this weekend and I rushed it and that's why I'm terribly unhappy with the new ending. Therefore: here comes the original ending. I know everybody (me included – by the way, thanks for the comments) want – well, we all know what we want, now don't we? So I'll start revising the new ending I wrote and I'll post it as soon as the plot makes some sense.
Before we get to part six (cause it's not the last part anymore, evil grin), I'll try to tell you some things about Natalie and hope you won't run away screaming. If you're not interested you can skip this now and go on to part seven –no problem, there will be little or no problems of understanding things.

Once upon a time, there was a TV show called "Forever Knight" – reruns on SciFi. Its hero (was) is Nick Knight, Toronto P.D. homicide detective. He seeks to repay society for his previous sins – in the PD night shift. Dr. Natalie Lambert, department coroner, has the surprise of her life when one night (on her 28th birthday) she gets to do the autopsy on the victim of a pipe bomb (the man had tried to stop it from exploding) and has the body get up from the table and drain all the blood in the morgue stock. Cause yes - and now is the time to run and never read my fics again - Nick is a vampire. Albeit a good one. He feels very guilty (and I mean very angsty stuff) for his past and tries to find redemption. In fact, he wants to become mortal again. Natalie agrees to help him find a cure, since she has reason to think his vampirism is caused by a virus. They become great friends and solve lots of cases together, blah, blah. They even fall in love. But Nick hesitates to act upon that love for fear of destroying that which he finds to be the most precious thing that she possess. Her mortality.
So we have the same angst and dancing around going on as in Dark Angel – Nick=Max and Natalie=Logan. Virus – no love relationship, we're just friends. The similiarities go well beyond that and I won't list them all, just the most important. Nick's vampire "father" is Lacroix, a very evil guy, who hates to see Nick turn to his human side and would do everything to bring him back to the fold. He even tries to kill Natalie. The relationship with Nick is a love-hate one, much like the one Lydecker-Max.
Then there is of course the "Alec figure", Janette, Nick's vampiric sister. They lived together for nearly a century before she decided to move on without him. Now he feels tempted by her but keeps returning to Natalie. The Jam Pony crew corresponds to only one man –Detective Don Schanke – just imagine Cindy and Herbal and Sketchy and Normal all rolled into one and you get the picture.
The show got cancelled after 2 seasons but fans pestering the network made it come back for a third one (hint, hint…). The only problem is its ending: Nick and Nat have had it and decide to make love. I'll tell you what happens next only if you ask specifically.

Sorry for the long explanation thing. But there is a reason to it: I need to know if you guys are totally turned off by the idea of bringing Nick into the story.
I.e: Do I do the revised ending including only Max and Logan and Nat as the doc who helps them get the virus cure or would you like Nat to find out what happened to Nick? Just a happy end or a double happy end or no happy end?
