Disclaimer: I own nothing!!A/N: I know this is short and In my opinion it's not so good but I just have to finish the story. Please let my know what you think by reviewing.

Dom and Kel walked over to the group of people watching them. Apprehensively Kel looked up to her former Knight Master and Dom's commander.

'I'd be lying if I said this is wholly unexpected – I've seen the way you two are around each other,' Raoul said, his face emotionless, 'but you know there will be problems, don't you?'

'Yes,' Kel said, 'We do.'

'If I may speak my Lord,' Neal interrupted, 'I believe that the happy couple are fully aware that there will be problems but they are willing to face and overcome these – does that not show resolute. And I for one think that they deserve the chance to be together.'

'Neal!!' Kel exclaimed, embarrassed that he had interrupted Raoul.

'Me too,' added Merric, 'If anyone can be both personal and professional it's Kel,' he said with a smile.

'Yea, Kel's the most multitalented person I know,' said Owen, 'I also think she deserves this chance.'

'And me,' added Yuki.

'Calm down, all of you,' Raoul laughed, 'I hadn't said anything yet. Seeing as everyone else has said something, what about you Alanna? It's not like you not to voice your opinions. What do you think?'

Alanna looked at Dom and Kel before answering. 'I think they both deserve a chance at happiness. When people are warriors or soldiers it's so easy for others not to realise that their humans too – with emotions and feelings. I'm living proof that you can be happy in love and be a warrior too. Why shouldn't these two have the chance that I have?'

'Thank You,' Kel whispered to her idol.

'Well then,' Raoul said. 'I'm happy for you – you've been eyeing each other since Kel was a squire, it's about time you admitted how you felt to each other and finally got together. My only worry is your reputation Kel. With Dom not being able to marry because he's in the Own there may be rumours. I'd ask the King to change the law but he's already had to change one for you already Kel!!' he said sarcastiacally.

'Very funny my lord,' Kel replied. 'I think my reputation will remain unchanged, my lord – or even improve when I'm in a relationship – after all everybody already calls me a whore and a wench – things actually can't be much worse than that.'

'Very true Kel,' Raoul grimaced. 'Well, in that case I'll wish you all the best of luck together,' and with that he pulled them both into a hug. He then addressed Dom, 'But my Mithros Sergeant. If you hurt her you'll have me to answer to!'

I won't hurt her, my Lord.' Dom replied. 'I couldn't – she means too much to me.'

'Good. Now let's go and celebrate.'

'You lot go,' said Alanna with a thoughtful look on her face, 'there's somebody I need to talk to about something,' and with that she headed to her rooms.

'Come on, my love,' Dom grinned at Kel.' Let's go and get something to eat.'

Everything was going well at Steadfast. Love was in the air – Raoul and Buri were preparing for their wedding as were Neal and Yuki and Dom and Kel were never seen apart. Everyone was happy for Kel and Dom – especially the men of the own and they received all of their support.

Time went on and Kel and Dom remained very happy together. Kel was still stationed at New Hope and the Lord Wyldon decided that a squad of the King's Own should be posted there to support the town. Surprisingly enough Raoul decided to send Dom's squad to help Kel there.

About two years after Kel and Dom had first got together they were in Steadfast again for their monthly reports when a courier arrived from the capital, with a letter marked with the royal seal for Raoul. Nobody really thought anything of it until Kel and Dom were called into Raoul's office.

Alanna was there looking very happy with herself when the couple arrived and Raoul smiled when they walked into the room. 'Sit down, both of you,' Raoul said to them when they arrived. 'There's something that you should know. You probably know that I got a letter this morning from the King. Well, it appears that there's a certain law that he's been planning to change for a while now.' Kel and Dom looked confused and Alanna sighed in expiration.

'What Raoul is trying and failing to say,' she started,' Is that it appears that someone has managed to convince the king to allow men of the own to marry on the condition that it doesn't affect their work.' Kel and Dom looked at each other in amazement.

'Who exactly convinced him?' Kel asked.

'Well,' said Alanna turning red, 'I think it was a combination of people.'

'Yeah, right,' said Raoul looking up from another letter he was reading that had also come from the King this morning. 'A combination of two people – Thayet and Alanna.'

'What makes you think that?' Alanna asked innocently – turning a deeper shade of crimson.

'Oh, I don't know,' the Knight Commander said looking directly at the Lioness, 'Maybe it's the King asking me to tell you to leave him alone now and to stop giving his wife crazy ideas!!'

'Oh,' Alanna said meekly.

'Thank you,' Kel said. 'Thank you so much.'

'You're welcome Lady Knight,' Alanna replied, smiling. 'Now Dom do you have something you want to ask Kel?' she said, suggestively.

Kel turned to face her friend and lover. 'Kel,' Dom said, 'I love you with all my heart. I have done for a while now and I always will. I want to spend the rest of my life with you so... Kel, will you marry me?'

'Yes,' Kel replied, without any hesitation. 'Yes, I will marry you. I love you Dom, and I would love to be your wife.'

The couple just stood there for moments – staring into each others' eyes before Raoul interrupted the silence. 'Just kiss her Sergeant and be done with it.'

Dom laughed, 'Yes Sir.' And with that he took Kel in his arm and kissed her tight whilst spinning her round.

'Oh this is so perfect,' exclaimed Alanna, 'Now go and tell everyone you're engaged.' And she bustled them all out of the room and over to Neal, Yuki, Buri, Dom's squad and all of their friends who were waiting nearby.

'What is going on?' Neal asked, aiming the question at his former Knight mistress. 'You asked us all to come here and then just keep us waiting for what?'

'Neal, hold you're tongue,' Alanna said – too happy to get mad at her former squire. 'I believe Kel and Dom have something they want to share with us all.'

'Kel?' Neal asked, 'What is she going on about?'

'Well, Sir Meathead,' Dom began, 'The king wrote to Raoul this morning to tell him of a change in the law. Basically the men of the King's own are now allowed to marry, and so I asked Kel to marry me.'

'And...' Yuki asked – barely managing to contain her glee.

'And I said yes.' Kel finished, 'Dom and I are now engaged.'

'And I hope I'm right in saying,' Dom continued, 'That's we're going to live happily forever.'

THE END

A/N: I know, I know. It's basically a happy ever after story but I couldn't leave it how it was before. I don't really like this chapter but like I said – the story went unresolved and now I feel I can finally lay it to rest. Anyway I'd be very happy to hear what everyone has to say about it so please review.
