Epilogue

Ruth came home.

"Harry, I've resigned."

"What?"

"You heard me."

"Actually I didn't," he said as he came downstairs, Benjamin in his arms.

"I've resigned."

"What?"

"I've been decommissioned."

"Why?"

"I missed you."

"So you resigned?"

"Yes."

"Was that a wise idea?"

"I think so."

"Just because you missed me?"

"No, I missed you both," she kissed Benjamin who was sound asleep in Harry's arms.

"But, Ruth.."

"But, what? I thought you'd be happy."

"But who's going to keep us in nappies?"

"Oh don't worry, Harry, we'll just have to ask uncle Dimitri."

She laughed.

He laughed.

Benjamin woke up and gurgled.

Finally the end. Hope you enjoyed even though it was somewhat longer than expected. Note to self - beware apparently short fics set in the snow - they may go on and on!
