Christina's spirit looked angelic but Vicki's thought process did not register she would be an angel, far from it.

"Shouldn't you be in a little warmer climate?" Vicki asked suspiciously. Vicki knew all too well that demons could be evil tricksters and this might be no different.

"I was a Christian, before I was turned. I gave my life to Him so yes, I am an angel, if you will. The Christina you see lying there, the Christina you knew, she was pure evil and I don't blame you for hating her. You have every right to."

"Gee, thanks for letting me," Vicki snorted. Henry was suddenly standing in the doorway thinking his eyes were betraying him. In a flash, he was in front of Vicki vamped out and growling although his senses told him this was not Christina the vampire. She smiled that smile that Henry had fallen in love with so long ago.

"Henry, thank you," she said as her hand reached out to touch his face. Instinctively, he jerked away as if being burned but he felt nothing at all, just cool air.

"For what?" he growled as he kept his stance between the spectral Christina and Vicki.

"For letting me go, for freeing me. That Christina had no humanity in her, it was gone a long time ago. I hated what I had become and looked for anything to fill the void in my soul. I'm free now and I'll harm no one else but I've come to tell you, you two have something very special and your baby is a blessing."

"How do you know about that?" Vicki's heart sped up with fear as she realized that this whatever knew she was pregnant.

"In Heaven, all is known. I have to go now but please, burn the body, make sure no one ever gets it," she said as she faded.

Henry watched as the last wisp of her left the storage unit and turned back to face Vicki. His eyes travelled behind her to the body in the coffin.

"I said don't open it, didn't I." Henry stated.

"I don't listen well. It seems I have trouble following directions," she answered honestly smiling at Henry wickedly.

"I hadn't noticed." Henry kissed her forehead then jerked back as he heard a commotion outside near the car. He had rejoined Vicki when Mike said help was coming. He thought Mike had things under control but apparently he didn't, something had gone wrong.

"Mike, how is she?" Henry asked as he leaned over Kate. He didn't really need to ask, he could hear her heart fading away.

"It's bad, Henry, real bad isn't it?" Mike was frantic with worry. He continued to put pressure on the wound never once letting up. Henry could hear the pounding of Mike's heart as it beat erratically in his chest. He felt sorry for the detective but was unsure as to what he should do. He knew what he could do but was that the right thing? Mike seemed to read his mind and spoke exactly what Henry had been thinking.

"Turn her Henry, please, save her," Mike pleaded. Although Mike's logical brain knew that's not what he really wanted, the part of his heart that was growing to love Kate didn't want to lose her.

"What?" came in the form of three voices, Henry, Coreen and Vicki.

"Save her, please, she doesn't deserve to die." Mike was nearly in tears. His hand was pressing as firmly as possible against her neck as he tried to stave off the bleeding but the pool of red underneath her was indicative of the battle being lost.

"Mike, I would have to parent her for a year. I don't want to do that, Vicki is my mate," Vicki's eyebrow rose.

"Mate? What the fuck does that mean?" Vicki asked as a look of indignation spread throughout her face followed by a look horror at the realization she'd just been called a 'mate' as if she were some kind of animal.

"Sorry, my love, Vicki is my life-partner," Henry waited for Vicki's response. She shrugged and nodded in agreement as if to say 'that's better'.

"Henry, couldn't you sire her without having sex with her?" Coreen suggested then giggled slightly, that sounded strange out loud. All three turned to look at her.

"Sorry.." Coreen said as she tried to regain her composure but the conversation was just so bizarre and intriguing.

"Yes, that's not a problem but is Mike going to be okay with me teaching her to hung and feed properly, spending time with her?" Henry waited for Mike's answer.

Mike was sweating profusely and Henry could hear his heart thumping out of his chest. He was nervous, scared and unsure of himself. What would Kate want? She did say she liked all of this freaky shit but would she want to be in the midst of the freaky shit?

"What about Vicki?" Mike put it back to her, he didn't want to make the decision but time was running out, something would need to be decided quickly. Kate's heartbeat was beginning to fade.

"What about me? Hell, I don't care. I know where I stand," Vicki said with an assurredness that was shaky at best but she sure as hell didn't want Kate's blood on her hands. No, she was not comfortable with it but what was she to say..so sad, too bad, he's mine?

"Alright, do it," Mike finally said as he drew a ragged breath and using a blood hand, wiped his brow. Kate's blood mingled with Mike's sweat as it rolled down his temple, followed a pattern on his cheek and dripped onto his collar.

"Are you sure?" Henry asked once more.

"Yes, dammit! She's dying, there's no alternative!"

And that's how Kate Lam, one of Toronto's best detectives, became a vampire.

"How the hell am I gonna explain this to Crowley?" Mike muttered as he watched Henry work.

Vicki laughed and said, "Sucks to be you.."

The group was out of there before anyone else arrived and they quickly agreed to meet up at Henry's. Kate was going to flip out when she came to the next night at sunset and Henry wanted to make sure she was safe throughout the day by staying in a protected environment.

"Why don't you two go home, rest. I'll stay here," Vicki ordered Mike and Coreen.

"No, I won't leave Kate," Mike said firmly.

"You want to stay here, during the day with two," Vicki hesitated, "dead bodies in the next room. You're comfortable with that Mike?"

Mike hadn't looked at it that way and decided Vicki was more equipped than he was. He agreed to take Coreen home on the way although she didn't want to leave either. She had whined but Vicki and Henry stood their ground. With a pouty lip, she went with Mike after first remembering to thank the whole team. Vicki flopped on the couch and Henry sat gently beside her.

"So you are really okay with me having to train Kate?" Henry asked as he brushed a stray strand of hair from Vicki's face.

"Sure, why not? Hell, what other freaky shit could happen..wait..did I just say that out loud?" Vicki said with mock surprise.

"And Henry," Vicki offered," I have a feeling that Kate is a little more strong-willed than you think. I'm not too sure it will take that long." Henry agreed with Vicki's observation.

"What about us?" Henry asked finally.

"What about us? What's there to say?" Avoiding questions, that's what Vicki was good at.

Henry frowned as he moved to his big plate glass window and looked out at the city below. Vicki followed him over, slunk her arms around his waist and felt him relax as she leaned into his back with her warm cheeked pressed against him.

"Henry, actions speak louder than words you know.." she teased. Henry turned swiftly and began to kiss her, touch her and grind into her to let him know it had been far too long for them both.

"Wait..what about Kate?" Vicki suddenly remembered.

Henry smiled.."She's dead to the world right now.."
