["Bill, there's somethin' you should know.]



Bill walks in through the door to Demeter's house with a black garment bag over his arm. Inside is his dress uniform, and in hand he has his cap and shoes to go with it.

Going back to Wheelsy for it had been hard. Not because the door wasn't cooperating, it opened right up to his bedroom, but there things are set to get back to normal. The few minutes it took him to gather up what he needed put him that much closer to returning to work and the life he's wanted back for so long.

He couldn't stay, though, couldn't leave Kate and Boo or Katherine now. So he left that life on hold again and is now back here, to break more bad news to the woman he loves.

Shutting the door quietly, he heads for the bedroom, still trying to figure out how to tell Kate, and already building himself up to be strong for her.

He needs her, just like this. To have her in his arms, close, proof-positive that she's safe, that they're here, together, even after everything.

It hurts to think about Katherine, alone now that Doc is gone, and he hopes she'll make it through this.

He and Kate will. The warmth of her closeness, and the soft press of her lips make him believe it strongly. They're going to be okay.
