All the feedback is great but this especially so as it is wrapped up with memories of the joint equal most fantastic concert i've been to.

To you, kchardbody, I have done really fine if you can visualise the concert and get the feel of the celebration.

To you, Axiegirl21, it was a happy accident that I featured 'Desperado' which isn't dependent on the one or two CDs and helps the reader. You have very astutely got the point that rather than let the ultimate hate figure still haunt the ladies, they reached out for this event to put fenner behind them.

There is only one more scene in this fic but you do pose the interesting task of composing a letter as Tori Amos might write. Hmmn, got to think on this. :D

I thought I'd post this final scene which carries the long journey through this fic to the end of a long journey and I'm incredibly grateful to those who have come along with this journey. Enjoy.


........................................................................................................................

Scene Forty-Five

“We’re home again, sweetheart,” sang out Helen to Nikki as they walked up the steps to the flat’s front door and Helen turned her key in the lock. It was something that both of them had said many times before. They felt gloriously shattered and mentally spaced out. They strewed their clothes on the bedroom floor and flopped into bed. They lay there silently as the dim light played on their features. The morning was such a long time ago and their minds were still running full blast. Both of them knew that it would be a long time before they would sleep.

”That was an absolutely fantastic concert.”

“I couldn’t even begin to express it,” sighed Nikki. “It’s almost too intense for words.”

“Better think about finding them though. George is totally serious about her idea. She won’t let you forget,” grinned Helen.

“I know…….I’ll get it together……”

Nikki fell silent, as the music had stirred up such a flood of feelings and memories through her overactive mind, flitting from one topic to another.

“…….I was thinking to myself…..can you remember that time we kissed and held hands in the arts room at Larkhall?” Nikki asked in tentative tones later on as her head lay on the pillow and her hand lay on Helen’s breasts.

“Do I not?” exclaimed Helen in resounding terms with a broad smile on her face.

“I remember every word of that conversation. Picturing you in that black top and remembering the way we kissed kept me warm inside on far too many cold lonely nights in that cell of mine. I remember telling you that one before,” Nikki said dreamily.

”A hundred times I’m sure,” Helen answered while Nikki smiled that satisfied smile of security in the arms of her true love.

“Can you remember me saying that I wanted kids some day,” murmured Helen.
‘Yeah. We’ve talked about it from time to time only we keep on being distracted.”

“And how do you mean, distracted.”

“We have a nice calm mellow time of it, only something happens and we end up rescuing a damsel in distress.”

“Karen a damsel?” laughed Helen, looking very attractive to Nikki. ”She’d be insulted. She’s as tough as old boots and a not so closet feminist as well.”

“I suppose you’re right but to get back to your question, there’s one problem,” Nikki continued thoughtfully with a straight face.

“And what’s that?” Helen asked with a sharp look on her face.

“I can’t make you pregnant or is there something I’m missing,” Nikki grinned cheekily. “I might have asked this question before.”

Helen exploded in laughter and looked in vain for a spare pillow to swat Nikki in the face with for mischievously winding her up. Instead she thought she would counter with sweet reason and feminine wiles.

“You get on very well with your parents these days and it’s possible they’d support us,” Helen pursued. Nikki sighed as her tired mind struggled to give the idea a fair hearing. There was a whole déjà vu feeling about this conversation.

“Yeah, my dad. My very unpredictable, conservative father who you never know when he’ll come up with some marvellous flight of insight and understanding just to say ‘aha, fooled you. I’m ahead of you,’” Nikki replied in affectionately ironic tones. ”Yeah, he might just like the idea. Perhaps, we should be open to new ideas.”
Nikki ran her fingers lovingly down Helen’s smooth curving flanks. She knew every inch of her shapely curves just as Helen’s fingers could trace the same for her. Equally important for them, their shared intimacy of thought made them psychically inextricable.

“There’s only one problem about having a child, mystically significant though it is,” Nikki said softly into Helen’s ear while she planted kisses on the smaller woman’s cheeks,”………and that is what about our sex life?”
“Aha,” Helen grinned as her fingers slowly caressed Nikki’s left nipple,” I wonder when you would get onto that subject.”

‘Well, you know how much it means to us,” Nikki said in coaxing terms while she pressed herself against Helen. “One of the delightful thought on my mind when I finish work is that we can make love whenever and wherever we want to.”

“We don’t have sex every night, babes. Enough of your euphemisms,” Helen retorted pertly, as her fingers slowly travelled inch by inch down Nikki’s stomach.

“Well, yes, if you want to put it that way,” admitted Nikki as she started to tingle inside and sensual desire started to rise up within her.” I know what point you’re making right now.”

“I don’t beat about the bush. You know that by now,” Helen said sensually as her fingers reached down to the center of her desires.

“Oh yes, yes, yes. Keep trying to convince me,” gasped Nikki as she felt Helen’s expert pressure on her.

“I’ll make you sign a binding agreement if you put it that way,” Helen said in her best sultry tones as she pressed herself up against Nikki and leaned over, her full breasts in view.

“You’re so unfair,” complained Nikki as delicious shivers rose in her.” You’ve got me at a hopeless disadvantage. I can’t argue with you………..I mean what would we do if we were like this and our baby started crying out for, I don’t know, because something upset her? Are we capable of being that unselfish to break off from our climaxes? You have to think of things like that.”

“Very good, Ms Wade.” Helen smiled, admiring the way her lover swung her own form of persuasion back onto herself.” I really don’t know the answer. I mean how do straight couples manage?”

“I suspect very badly.”

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

“I tell you what. I have the answer,” Nikki gabbled at rapid pace as Helen expertly brought her up to a climax.” Let’s check out at Chix if there are any mothers who go there. They can’t all be either singles or couples. We research this properly and take it a stage at a time and work out what we’d be letting ourselves in for. There are all sorts of possibilities…..”

Nikki’s voice rose in pitch and intensity until her voice finally rose to a heartfelt wail. Her body felt as if it were uncontrollable, like a train at express speed threatening to hurtle off the track as she approached orgasm.

“…..Meanwhile, please... stop tormenting me with this discussion. I can’t stand it.”

A smile of pleasure spread across Helen’s face as she considered Nikki’s inspiration. She leaned over her lover and she kissed Nikki’s cheek and sought out her mouth, which opened wide for her tongue to reach deep inside her. Her fingers bore down on the taller woman whose cries of ecstasy and the rapid movements of her body told Helen that she was right on the mark in both senses.

“You are the biggest tease in the world, babes,” Nikki said hoarsely as her lungs were heaving to gulp in much needed oxygen.” It’s my turn to pleasure you. Never mind the time of night as I’m in the mood.”
She looked up at the strong jaw line, the full lips, the straight determined nose of her lover, and her incredible jewel like grey green eyes all framed by her somehow perfect bob of mid brown hair. The roundness of her body as it hung protectively over her was like bliss. She loved the feel of her lover’s body resting against hers. She smiled to herself as she figured out that the very forceful yet loving Ms Stewart relished nothing else than a challenge and knew for certain that she was with her every inch of the way and always would be. She waited eagerly for her lover to move so that she could taste of her sweetness. Whatever pleasures she wanted with Helen would assuredly come and, yes, she started to think that any offspring of their love would be pretty amazing. It was all part of their future and their wide assortment of dear friends would be queuing up to be godparents.

She smiled to herself as she figured out that Helen relished nothing else than a challenge and knew for certain that she was with her every inch of the way and always would be.

Hiya Richard:Did you think I forgot about you? LOL...Not a chance!!
Well,we've come to the end of another miraculous and turbulent journey!For me,in the final analysis,this wasn't about the intrigue of a criminal trial, or the political "pay offs" behind the scenes,but about two women...Helen Stewart and Nikki Wade, and how they unwittingly changed not only their own lives,but those of several others.
I would have to say it was Karen who has surprised me most.What is it about standing on the Court House steps that opens a person up to telling the harsh truths and becoming the person they were always meant to be?Not to mention a trip to Chix, which seems to have some magical powers of persuasion itself! And thank god for Beth and her powers of persuasion, as well!!
John Deed has been through quite a mental process throughout this jaunt , and has come out understanding more about himself and women ,than he ever thought possible, or thought was needed,all due to Helen and Nikki. I would be remiss if I didn't give George and Alice some credit for this,but they too had N and H lurking in the backround.If it hadn't been for their nudging of SallyAnne and Trisha too seek justice,who knows what the out outcome for John,George,and Alice would have been? Would there even be an Alice in Georges life?
Tony has a girlfriend!!!! How crazy is that?! Plus a new group of close knit friends,which I'm sure is a first for our once, introverted ,lone wolf. Need I say more? Nikki and Helen!!!
Even our girls who are still locked up in Larkhall have Helen and Nikki to thank , and cause for celebation.For finally....Fenner has fallen!!
Richard,what I love about your writing,is that whether it is a major character or a minor one,all are equally as important.I hope to see more of Shirley,Roz ,and Jenny!
You summed up everyones feelings and thoughts(including my own),brilliantly with the concert.I was there.
I think I've said enough.
Your fan forever,Emtsue.

I can't believe this is over :cry2 It's been a wild ride on an emotinal roller coaster, with twist and turns around every corner bringing us to a wonderful conclusion where all our favourite ladies are happy and content with their lives and the villians are getting their just desserts. Still it looks like Helen and Nikki are going to be starting out on yet another adventure, namely parenthood which I'm sure will lead them on another emotional journey, one I'm sure that the gang will all be joining them on. :hug2 Thank you for yet another great story Richard, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next time. :clap
The past is history.
The future a mystery.
And now is a gift thats why we call the present.

I’ve needed to take time and reflect on how I’ve been so incredibly supported and sustained by you throughout this fic and just to reassure you all, this isn’t the end of the story.

To Kchardbody, thanks for your valuable feedback and likewise, Bettela for being there from the start.

To you, Emtsue, I love the way you’ve picked out themes running through this fic My central idea is that people can change and I like the idea that, consciously or unconsciously, Nikki and Helen have initiated this process pretty far and wide. I like the way you phrase the way that Karen, Sally-Anne and Nikki (and Monica Lindsay before them) had those moments of blinding self revelation when the court has validated their lives and they have the one chance in the world to go public. What’s interesting is how much John has learned more about himself than he thought possible. I’m similarly gratified that you’ve equally appreciated the characters that I’ve created (as much as the ones I’ve borrowed) as it is slightly scary that they have no existence until I conjured them out of nowhere and become gratifyingly real to readers.

To you, Axiegirl, you have got the feel of all the twists and turns of this fic and the way that I’ve left this fic at this point.

Hey Richard, as Emtsue has been keeping me filled in, I am now going to attempt to catch up. I understand that you are writing a sequel to a portrait of a lady...I am glad to hear. I may have to read the finished products from here on out as I am afraid I am about to start some real life projects that will leave me little free time...but never fear, I will not be far. I just wanted to let you know I hadn't forgotten about you or the stories...so I will stop now and begin to catch up...thanks again for sharing your talent, and I am sorry I had to abandon you in the middle of this one.

Just caught up with this one. Unfortunately, real life kicked in for a while. What a great ending, but an epilogue with a little Nicola or Nicholas in would be good :D

As real life is keeping me very busy, I hope to be a bit more settled in a few months. Thanks for all the lovely feedback, it is an honor as a reader to be responded to. Thank you again for a wonderful story and I hope to see something more in the future!

Richard,

I read this entire fic in one sitting the other evening and thoroughly enjoyed it again. It’s such a wonderful drama and you weave the different storylines together to create a very nice crossover story. Your characterizations and dialogue are excellent, and your narrative voice has a soothing quality that takes the reader into the scene with the characters.

I love your take on Nikki and Helen’s post Larkhall relationship. Their calm and supportive interactions with each other are such a lovely change from their tension-fraught communications as prisoner and jailor.

This is a masterful piece of work, Richard. I admire your dedication and contributions to the Nikki and Helen community and eagerly look forward to your next story.
