Juliette pulled back Nick's shirt and Rosalee sighed.

'There's nothing more we can do. I'm not even sure if this is going to work. I just don't know what else..' Rosalee said, trailing off. 'I'm sorry-I'm trying not to...'

'Me to.' Juliette replied, clutching Nick's hand tighter.

'I've got to get back to the precinct. Deal with what's happened.' Sean interrupted, looking over to Hank.

'I'm staying here.' Hank stated.

'Yeah, it's probably best that you do.' Sean replied, walking past Nick and out the door of the spice shop.

'If his brother was my brother, well... we probably shouldn't go there.' Monroe said, shaking his head.

'Yeah.' Annabelle agreed quietly; thinking about how they'd throttle Adalind should she ever turn up in Portland again.

'I think you should go there. I'd go there with you.' Hank said.

'Oh! Something's happening!' Juliette cried out. The others' looked down at her hand to see that Nick's hand had begun to move. 'That's a good thing, right?'

'I think so.' Rosalee said. 'I'll go get some water.' Annabelle then also stood up and followed Rosalee back to the front of the shop.

I'm actually beginning to write it besties!!! But, I'm starting it from 3x05 instead - as that means I can introduce my girl (gender neutral) Belle sooner !!
