Hi everyone, thank you for your sweet reviews! Thank you for encouraging me and telling me to ignore the bullies, don't worry, I got rid of them. Thank you for being such comprehensive readers toward the fact English isn't my native language and thank you for enjoying my stories. I hope that last chapter will be to your liking. Nothing exceptional, just some feels (and the last scene I'm honestly pretty proud of).

See you soon for more Jenry feels :)

Henry scratched the back of his head. Jo scoffed and teased.

- What is it, Doctor Morgan? Did we lose our tongue?

Henry didn't know what to think. He knew Jo was smart and frankly, he never tried to be subtle with her but he wouldn't think that kind of fantasy would have crossed her mind.

Toward his long silence, she felt the need to explain herself. She pulled her lips together.

- For the record, I never witnessed you die or whatsoever.

This still wasn't helping. She took a seat on the couch and motioned him to join her by her side. She inhaled

- I know this sounds strange to you that I figured out your secret while it's so unreal.

- It's an understatement – Henry stated, still in the process of how she could have known

- But as I told you plenty times. I'm a detective and I always figure things out. I had some doubts regarding your real age and how long you've been alive but this was just so crazy I put it aside until I realized I maybe was right and the last bit of talk you just had with Nancy confirmed them.

If there was one person who could still surprise him it was without a doubt, Jo. She's the only one he couldn't read like that, well he could, usually like she was an open book but she was as good as him to hide secrets and he really didn't see that one coming. But again, he never tried to hide the truth from her by dropping clues here and there. Maybe deep down, he hoped she would put the pieces together and obviously she did.

- How?

Jo smiled

- Well, to start with… Let's go back to our first case together. You always repeated me it was the morphine but Henry, I'm not stupid, I know it wasn't. I did see you jump off that building and even if you didn't, you've been shot and fatally shot, I was aware you had slight chances of surviving.

He gulped. He never thought about it that way but he put that on the morphine because Jo never asked for more. She replied to his silent question.

- I figured you weren't ready to share that mysterious part of yours with me yet so I let it go but that's why I once told you that one day you'll let me in when you're ready.

Henry licked his lips. Jo didn't seem to mind or not even surprised.

- And you showed me your scar. You didn't have time to tell me your story but you did tell me you've been shot. I saw where it was located – her eyes drifted toward his chest and she blushed, knowing she had the opportunity to touch it one day before when they were making out shirtless on the carpet – and again, I'm a cop, so I know fatal wounds… And that one should have destroyed your heart… But it did, didn't it?

At that point, Henry knew it was useless to try and look for an excuse so he just nodded.

- And that day you tried to take a bullet for me, when you threw yourself in front of the car and when you told me about your stalker… I saw your face back in the cab, I found your watch and you turned white when I asked you how it ended up there…. Seeing Hanson's face, I covered in front of you, so he wouldn't ask any question but I knew something was off. You told me about living a very long life, you know every language that I even never heard of myself. You own the original copy of Jack the Ripper's case. When I asked you if you felt old, you told me you knew the feeling, so I bet you do. Your watch at every crime scene where an accident happened. And the last one at the subway – she sighed, Henry was completely speechless – I heard gunshots and I knew, I don't know how but I knew it was you who's been shot and by the time I got here your body already disappeared. I found your watch and that picture.

She bit her lips and looked at him straight in the eyes.

- I barely slept the following night because I had no idea if you were alive or not. I tried to put the two and two together with that picture and your watch. And I somehow felt guilty because if you were to die, our… I…

She looked at her hands and tried to gather her thoughts. Henry smiled and softly raised her chin for her to look at him.

- Our last conversation ended in anger… Just like my last conversation with Sean ended and we know what happened the day after. So, you really gave me anxiety that night and in the morning when I walked to the shop and I saw you through the glass, I let out a hold of relief I had no idea I've been holding. And you didn't have the occasion to tell me about it yet but well, as you can see, I knew already.

Henry thought he should be careful in the future but truth to be told, he didn't mind Jo knowing his secret because he literally was dying to try and tell her. One thing was done at least and she wasn't running away so it was a good sign. Well, he hoped she would still be okay once he would tell her his whole story.

- And you know – she added – I noticed the way Lucas was squirming when I was walking in like he has been hiding something. How long did he know?

He heard her accusing tone. He melted a bit on the couch.

- In my defense, I never told him. I mean, not on my own. It was against my will. He witnessed me die.

Jo folded her arms

- What did you do again?

Henry remembered that day like it was yesterday like many of his deaths but this one was probably the cherry on top of the ridiculous one, he wasn't sure Jo wasn't going to burst into laughter. He pursed his lips in a fine line.

- Well… I must say, it is ridiculous. I had stupid deaths before but that one probably beat them all. Remember that sword we found in that man's chest in one of our cases?

Jo nodded

- It appears the sword came back to me for whatever reason, so I was going to put it on top of the cabinet in my office. Because it looked nice and no one needed it as evidence. It was an antique sword, so I figured it would look good as a piece of art in my office.

Jo felt what was coming and started squirming on the couch, biting her lips to refrain the laugh.

- And I was standing on a ladder to do so. I was alone in my office, my morgue was clear except for Lucas who burst the door open and yelled he had something to show me and he scared me. I fell off the ladder, the sword wasn't in the cabinet yet so I got it on the chest and my death was quick and I only heard Lucas mumbling "ohmygodohmygod"

Henry imitated exactly how he pictured Lucas doing so. Jo tried not to laugh, but it started to become harder.

- So, I came back like one hour later and he was still standing in my office, I don't know how he managed not to move by the time I was gone and I walked to him and told him I didn't know how to explain that. You know what he said?

Jo laughed

- Let me guess, knowing Lucas, he probably told you something like it was awesome and you should do it again?

Henry nodded

- Pretty much!

Jo couldn't control herself and laugh way louder than she should have. Henry let her do. When he thought about it, he knew that death was stupid and Abe never missed the occasion to tease him about it.

- So, I had no other option but to tell him the truth. But there are still some things he doesn't know yet… Things that I'm going to share with you if you're ready to hear my story now that you know the truth.

She looked at him straight in the eye and smiled, squeezing his hands

- So, it's all true? Are you really immortal?

- I am… I wish I wasn't but…

She popped her elbow on his chest

- If you weren't, I would never have the chance to meet you and… And fall in love again, something I thought would never ever be possible after Sean.

A smile crossed Henry's lips, and he devoured her with eyes full of love. He moved closer to her face and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

- I'm glad you are a part of my everlasting life, Jo. I, also never thought I would fall in love again but here I am… I love you, Jo, I loved you since day one and I'm sorry I haven't told you earlier, it was just…

- Complicated? – she finished

He nodded

- It was for me too – she replied with a smile – but it doesn't matter now. I love you too, I did from day one too.

Henry leaned his forehead against hers, and they could read their mutual feelings in each other's eyes.

They spoke for about two hours. Henry shared with her his whole story. His real birth date, his father, the Empress of Africa, his first death, Nora, Abigail and Abe, everything. He didn't miss out any detail.

Once his story done, he felt like a burden just lifted off his shoulders. He was finally free, he wasn't hiding anything from her anymore and they were in love. A bright new future was expecting him and he knew he would enjoy every bit of them.

- You're the only one that ever made me feel so alive for the past 30 years. And thank you for that. I hope our relationship will last as long as it can.

Jo climbed on his lap and whispered on his lips

- I'm sure it will! You and I are meant to be and I'm not immortal but I promise you forever and I'll try to hold on to it.

They looked at each other and they knew nothing could stop them anymore. They would come back to Manhattan, oh yes, they would but only after consuming that love they have been waiting for.

Jo slowly crashed her lips on Henry's and they slowly removed each other's clothes, just like the way they did the night before.

Once they found themselves shirtless, Jo stood up and held up a hand for him.

- Let's take it upstairs.

Once near the bed, Henry stood behind Jo, staring at her reflection in the mirror in front of her as he gently kissed at her neck and gently undid the strap of her bra revealing what he has seen the night before, her beautiful and firm breast and they both could see in the reflection, a taste of what was to come.

His eyes were all over her exposed skin looking at her up and down; wanting her with a desire, she had not yet seen from him.

He turned her toward him and gave her a slow sweet kiss on the lips while his hands traveled down from her shoulders to her breast, to finally rest on her panties. He licked his lips and slowly removed them from her legs as she felt herself trembling, and got a hold of his hair to steady her balance.

Their eyes never left the other. She enjoyed watching his expression. On his face she saw disbelief, inquisitiveness, excitement, and lust; his eyes were asking what his lips were afraid to say. She saw this but said nothing. She was trembling with nervous sexual energy.

His eyes involuntarily darted toward every contour and curve of her exposed body. She stood still, watching him watch her…feeling herself liquefying with each silent passing of his gaze.

Jo wrapped her arms around his neck and Henry lifted her up and slowly put her down on the bed.

She helped him out by removing the rest of his undies and his warm body met her and she gasped at the feeling inside of her. She closed her eyes and they shared intense and hot kisses, along with the sweet moans they both made.

Waves of intense pleasure flowed through Jo's body from between her legs invading her soul. Lying there, head deep in the pillow her body aching for more. Jo dug her nails into his back as his tongue met hers. With each long scratch, he moaned and met her with each thrust as her body moved upward and backward with each movement.

After a while, their bodies shook, tensed and relaxed as the electrifying thrill of them approaching climax ran through their entire beings.

Jo grasped the sheet into a thin ball and they both felt the contractions of their orgasm squeezing them and holding within their depths. Henry finally let go with a loud and sweet moan and they held on to each other sweaty bodies.

Jo kissed him deeply on the lips as the last waves of pleasure slowly left and caught both their breath.

Henry moved his head to her breast, still unable to catch a normal breath. Jo slowly stroke his brown curls and kissed his forehead.

- Are you okay, Henry?

He raised his eyes to meet hers and smiled widely

- I have never been better! It was marvelous.

She was glad to hear, especially as a 200-year-old man, she could say he really had some tricks.

They remained entangled in their embrace. And that's how it would be, this was it, this was their relationship. The one and only, that was meant to last… Forever.

Author's note: Lucas finding out like that has been inspired by one comic on Tumblr. I found this hilarious so I've decided to use it for that story and this will probably remain my headcanon from now.

I always thought Jo suspected Henry's secret, I mean she's not dumb and he's really not subtle with her. It's maybe a crazy idea but pretty sure she does suspect it, everything is right in front of her, but she's way too polite to say something and rather let Henry talks to her out of it.

And sorry I didn't want to repeat Henry's whole story, we all know about it lol.
