By December21st
Fandom: Haven
Rating: PG
Pairing: Audrey/Nathan
Warnings: One swear word; spoilers through "Last Goodbyes"; may not feel complete.
Summary: She's been gone for forty-one weeks, and Nathan still misses her.
Nathan glances at the date on today's Herald as he eats breakfast. Forty-one weeks, he calculates automatically. Forty-one weeks since he started to feel again; since Audrey disappeared with that damn barn. Since they'd shared one last night of passionate goodbyes.
He should move on, he knows, start living a normal, untroubled life. But he doesn't want to, not without Audrey.
A knock at his front door interrupts Nathan's reverie; against all expectations, it's Agent Howard.
"You'd better come with me." Howard informs him without preamble.
"Why?" Nathan demands, a thousand questions compressed into a single word.
"Audrey's in labor."
