"Where are we going?" Anna asked as Gabriel helped her onto the horse.

"Camp. Then Vatican City, Rome." He replied getting on behind her and grabbing the reins.

"Vatican City, Rome?"

"You will see, Love. It's where I've been working from." He said as he started towards his camp.

"Working?"

"Yes. And it's more important now than ever as we're a family now."

"Gabriel, money isn't a problem. I have all that."

"It's not the money. It's the dangerous creatures that crawl around the continent."

"She's a Valerious Van Helsing. No matter how many creatures we capture and or kill, she'll always be in danger. If we wait to have more children, fine. But I don't wanna wait until I'm too old to have any. Neither should you. No matter how many creatures die, even in the future, our family will always be hunted. We're cursed. It'll never end. No matter how hard we try to end it. We can only fight and run. But we can't hide. It's the curse of our family. Even so, I want nothing more than to be your wife and have a family with you. It's all that matters to me."

Gabriel stopped the horse and got off. He took Laura then helped Anna off before giving her Laura back. And ignoring her rant, he showed her to the tent. "We sleep in here overnight. We leave as soon as the sun rises." He said with an edge to his voice.

It didn't go unnoticed by Anna. "Gabriel."

He turned to face her. "What?"

"Did I say something wrong?" She asked starting to tear up.

Gabriel noticed the tears and sat in front of her on his knees. His facial expression softened. "I'm sorry, Anna. No. You didn't say anything wrong. It's been a rough six months. I guess I just took it out on you. I'm sorry. You didn't deserve that." He said as he cupped her cheek.

She let one tear fall and he wiped it away. Looking back at him, she sniffled. "It's been even tougher for me. I know it's been really tough on you, but even tougher on me. These last six months, have been horrifying trying to find you. Then I find out four months later I'm thirteen and pregnant with YOUR child. I've been so scared, but I was determined to find you and I wasn't gonna stop until I did. Even if that meant raising this baby on my own until then. But now we're together again. I'm relieved and at least somewhat happy. But I'm not so sure YOU'RE happy. That you even love me anymore."

"No, Anna. You're all wrong. Sweetheart, of COURSE I still love you. I never stopped. But after six months, I thought it'd be best if I just let you go. But then you show up during the end of my mission to kill the giant mockingbird and with a newborn baby no less. OUR baby. I was so stunned, but then all I could think is that since you wouldn't go home, I had to do everything in my power to protect you. BOTH of you. Just looking at this little girl we created together, I feel nothing, but love for her. And I will do EVERYTHING in my power to make sure she is safe." He said then kissed Laura's forehead. Laura whimpered. "Shhhh. It's ok, Princess. Mama and Papa are here to protect you." He whispered in her ear.

Laura calmed. Gabriel pecked Anna's lips and quickly went out to put the fire out. He came back in and saw his soon to be wife and daughter both fast asleep. Smiling, he layed down next to them and curled Anna against him, securing both her and Laura in his arms. He kissed Anna's temple and fell asleep.
