A/N: DUE TO MANY REQUESTS, I ADDED AND EPILOGUE WITH HENRY TALKING TO MIKE..HOPE YOU ENJOY!!
EPILOGUE
Mike relaxed at home for the evening, tired yet happier than he'd ever been. Just as he pulled his shoes off, there was a tap at his door.
Mike sighed, closed his eyes and said, "One night, just one peaceful night," and went to the door. Upon opening it, his face fell.
"I don't suppose the old I have to invite you in thing works does it," Mike smirked.
"Yes, actually, it does," Mike's face lit up with a smile until Henry added, "but it has nothing to do with being a vampire."
At that moment, Mike wanted to punch the shit eating grin from Henry's face but opted for inviting him into his home instead.
"I'm sorry to come at such a late hour but, I do have that whole sunlight issue," Henry joked.
"Yeah, yeah, I'd offer you a drink but I don't have anything in O positive," Mike said sarcastically.
"Thanks for the offer anyway, how nice."
"What can I do for you Fitzroy?" Mike sat on the edge of his couch, propped a leg up and leaned on it with one elbow resting slightly.
"Strangely, I'm here to do something for you," Henry offered.
Mike put his hands up, "Uh, thanks but no thanks."
"Michael, I have some great news for you," Henry grinned. He was enjoying this a little more than he needed and yet, it didn't seem to bother him.
"What..you're moving? Wait, let me see, you're going to start tanning," Mike cocked his head and smiled facetiously.
Henry laughed, "Nope, I have recently discovered that you have more family in the Toronto area."
Mike looked puzzled, more family?
"Who? Where?" he asked.
Henry took a deep breath and with a dramatic flair of his hands, placed them on his chest and sighed out with a large grin, "Me."
Mike blinked and his mouth fell open, "YOU?! No fucking way…YOU..you?"
"Me," Henry held his arms out, "now, come give your grandpa a hug."
"Get the hell away from me bloodsucker," Mike scrambled backwards and fell over himself onto the couch.
Henry moved toward him, "Now is that any way to treat your grandfather?"
Mike's look of horror became one of disbelief then returned to horror.
He pointed at Henry, "You…you're lying," he whispered hoarsely.
"I am not, ask Vicki. She's the one that found out."
"I..I must be passed out, that's it, I'm having one of those realistic nightmares," Mike stammered and struggled to understand what Henry was saying and tried to process that it might be true.
"What's a nightmare?" Coreen asked as she entered the living room.
"Mike thinks he's dreaming," Henry was still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes twinkled and his cheeks seemed flushed with excitement.
"Mike, you're wide awake," Coreen snorted and shook her head, "What do you think you're having a nightmare about?"
"He says..he is trying to say…he's.." Mike tried to vocalize it but failed. All he could do was point and gape.
"What??" Coreen was clearly aggravated and losing patience.
Henry took Coreen and turned her to face him, "Coreen, I'm your grandfather in law."
"Really? That's so cool!" Coreen giggled and hugged Henry.
Mike threw his hands in the air, "I'm in hell, that's it, I'm in hell."
Coreen went to Mike and wrapped her arms around his waist, "Aw, Mike, it's not so bad is it? Hey, that means you're descended from royalty, do you feel royal?"
"No but he's a royal pain in the.." Coreen put a finger over his mouth, "No," she said, "children."
"They aren't even old enough yet," Mike was exasperated and his voice had a hint of whine in it.
"Now look here you young whipper snapper," Henry teased. Finally, Mike relented and shook his head. He flopped back onto the couch and said, "Well, hell, it could be worse I guess."
"Worse? How so?"
Mike pointed to Coreen, "She could be pregnant again."
The men laughed and agreed but Coreen just smiled and said nothing….
