DISCLAIMER: Sanctuary (or any of its characters) DOES NOT belong to me. As much as I wish it did...

As usual, on the off-chance someone wants to use this, all that you need to do is ask :D

Reviews are genuinely appreciated, good or bad... :D

Meanwhile, Kate paced her room, glaring hatefully at the huge pile of clothing strewn around her room in her mad rush to find something to wear. She was supposed to meet Henry in 10 minutes, and, Kate grimaced at her reflection, she wasn't even close to ready.

Finally settling on a pair of black skinny jeans, some knee-high leather boots and a thin light-blue top, she grabbed her usually unused handbag from its spot inside her cupboard, and headed to her private bathroom.

Frantically brushing her messy hair, Kate reflected just how unusually she was acting- It was downright embarrassing. She was behaving like a teenager, and that was not something she was sure she could live down.

Quickly glancing at the mirror one last time, she headed out of her room.

And almost crashed into Will, who was heading down the corridor in the opposite direction.

'Going somewhere, Kate?' Will asked, taking in Kate's appearance. He, of all people, knew that Kate was not a girly girl, and the fact that she was carrying a handbag kind of gave her away.

'Hummm?', Kate murmured, waking as if from a daydream 'Oh, yeah...Why?'

'Just wondering...' Will sidestepped Kate and continued on walking, a knowing smile on his face as he connected the dots

'Tell Henry I wish you luck' Will whispered, just loud enough that he was sure Kate would hear.

Watching him walk off, Kate shook her head, and sighed- Were they really that obvious?

What the heck, Kate thought, They were going to find out sooner or later when they realised that the two of them had left, anyway. So there really wasn't any point in trying to deny it. And besides, she now wasn't the time- She would confront Will later.

Carefully locking the door to her room, she quickly ran off to the elevator at the end of the next hall- She didn't plan on being late, not today.

Level 3, 2, 1...Finally!, Kate thought, impatiently rushing out of the elevator door on Ground Level, and running at a dead sprint down the hall.

Turning the corner, she slowed enough to recognised the figure in the middle of the hall

'Hank- Think quick' she yelled, speeding towards him.

'Damn', she whispered as his super fast reflexes allowed his arms to move quickly enough to catch her around the waist and slow her speed.

'Caught you Katie- you'll have to try harder next time' he teased, pushing a stray strand of her hair from her eyes

'What makes you think that his wasn't my plan all along, huh?' Kate whispered, smiling

'Was it?' Henry countered, lightly punching Kate in the shoulder.

'Actually, yes, yes it was' Kate whispered, looking appropriately abashed.

'Kate Freelander, you don't know how long I've waited for you to say that...'

'As long as I have?' Kate smiled sadly, then cursed when she felt her eyes brimming over and hot tears flowing down her cheek.

'Don't cry- Its OK' Henry said, lifting her chin, and wiping off the tears and hugging her, comforting her.

Kate finally managed to bring the tears under control and stop crying long enough to hear Henry whisper 'I love you, Kate- Why do you think I sent you the roses, or the note?. I mean it, Kay?'

Slowly, Kate got to her feet and leant against Henry's shoulder.

'Sorry, Hank' she whispered..'You shouldn't have had to see that'

'Yeah, I did- Or at least, I'm glad I did, anyway.' Henry said, once more wrapping his arms around her waist, holding her close.

'If you feel up to it, I was planning to take you to the movies...' Henry said 'but if you want, we could stay here' He trailed off, his voice fading out to a whisper.

'Nah, I'm OK... Movies sounds good' Kate sighed 'I still can't believe I made a fool of myself just then'

'You didn't, Kay...' he reassured her, 'I'm just sorry I didn't do this before' he laughed, and was rewarded when the hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Kate's mouth.

Reaching for her hand, Henry silently swore he'd never make Kate cry again, no matter what it cost him.

Hehehehe, I KNOW, its really predictable, but oh well... Next chapter will hopefully be up soon!
