#let's adress the elephant in the room aka what this poor man balls suffered during Casino Royal

Set after No Time To Die.

After all is said and down James sit down Madeleine and says she isn't my daughter, no prelude, no how are you and i missed you or maybe we should talk. Four words and a dead stone look right back at the woman in front of him and she can't be mine but I appreciate what you tried to do while I was out there. All Madeleine can do is watch him watching her, sit on a plane while Mathilde is four feet from them playing with Q and Nomi. Of course she is yours! she says trying to whisper because of all the moments he could have choose to have this conversation now is the least appropriate one.

'Leine and it should sound sweet like he did when he was showing her all the beauty the world has to offer but it comes out tired and so incredibile done with everything and everybody, she can't be mine because I'm sterile. And oh, now Q and Nomi are watching them, and Mathilde is looking around confused because no one is playing with her anymore and she can't find her little bunny. It's impossible, you were the only on-, she tries to say but he's looking at her with in the knowing way she had grow to found irritable. If I was she wouldn't be here, they confirmed it in Medical, every mission after Venice, and it's been fifteen years love. He stops for a second, watching where Q is showing Mathild and Nomi a video about killer whales I could still be her dad, if you want, we could come out with something so I could spend time with her while you're at work when I'm home or whatever you prefer. I'm not alone anymore, like I was after Matera, and I'm sure she could grown to like having others to call family. Or not. It's your choice, whatever you decide will be okay for me. He's smiling at her now, blood on his cheek, too many stitches on his chest again and his leg is probably hurting like hell but he is still standing.

I-I'm going to have to think about it she replies, tentatively smiling back, thank you for offering to watch after her.

It's no problem. he says kissing her forhead, now, if you'll excuse me I have to save myself form an agent, a Quartemastes and a baby because i'm afraid they're going to ask me to adopt a bloody killer whale if they spend one more minute watching that video.

Madeliene watches him walk away from her again but this time isn't like Matera or like when he was on the island and she was sure he was going to die, he walks away and she's happy to know he will come back. Things will be different, they already are and she will have to consider things under another prospect now, but it's good. They all are alive, travelling back to London and Safin is dead, SPECTRE is really gone and she can fall asleep to the sound of her daughter's laugh feeling a little more relieved.
