Khaat Lupin's Country Home

Robert laughed, a little embarressed at the name he'd given the regal creature. "I've been calling him Jett. I like muggle things, and I really like their jet planes. It is a unique idea for a muggle problem. At any rate, Jett flies almost as fast as a muggle jet--or at least if feels like it when I ride him. And he has a certain boy-ishness about him. He is a rather young hippogryff and he likes speed and fun. The two of you ought to get on quite well, I would think. I think he's ready to go. Do you know how to mount one? Or how to ride?"

Garulia nodded. He knew a lot about them and swung atop the creature and urging it on. Jett was as eager as he was and they were soon flying through the sky...
After about twenty minutes they came back in and Gar jumped off.
"That was AMAZING!" he said excitedly.

Robert smiled at him, "I'm glad you enjoyed it. We've always kept a number of magical creatures here. He showed Gar they also had a beautiful pair of unicorns, a whole batch of brightly colored pygmy puffs, a cage of pixies, all sorts of owls, and a number of other creatures--even a baby dragon, newly hatched. "That one is going off to Romania soon to join its own kind," Robert told him. "We hatch a lot of dragon eggs, but we always send them off to ROmania before they can burn down the barn." Then he showed him they had a number or ordinary farm animals--cows, chickens, pigs, geese, ducks and horses, along with a good many muggle cats and dogs. It was all kept going by the orchards, and the crops they grew in the fields in good weather. Most of the work was done by magic, but it was a far bigger farm than it looked. One whole field was devoted just to the herbs Robert used in his many potions. "Are there any other of these creatures you'd like to meet, Gar?"

Jack moved nto the kitchen supriseed to see no Jessica , becoming concerned he held Andrew in his arms as the boy dozed he saw Robert out side with Garulia nd headed over to then "hey you seen Jessica she's not in the kitchen nor the tv room?" he asked softly so not to disterb Andrew from his nap, he looked to his shoulder as the boy turned his head to suggle ingo his neck "ran himself ragged chahing chickens" he said chuckling "I ment to ask those pains she's been geting are they normal, just, she never had them with Andrew?" he asked the concern in his voice plane to hear as he stood rocking Andrew.

"She's just letting her stress get to her,"Robert said calmly, "That and she has to make room for two babies instead of one. She could very well have more pain than with one child. Ihad her go rest in her room just as a precaution. She needs to stop allowing herself to get so worked up if she does not want problems." Robert told him. "If I thought she was in any danger, I'd have told you both."

Jack looked back to the house "I though she got over that last night she seemed so relaxed this morning" he said "I guess it will take a litle longer, anything i can do "he said feeling Andrew shift on his shoulder as he slept "I forgot just how heavy he was till now" he said chuckling as he shifted him over to his other shoulder "ow he scraped his knees when he fell running after the chicken"he said sightly turning Andrew so Robert could see.

Robert laid his hands on the little boy's knees, healing them for him. "That will feel better, "Robert said. "Part of the problem, Jack, is that Jess believes she is fragile. She just isn't bearing up and tolerating stress like she should. Every day stressors get to her right now. She's probably going to have to get someone to cover her classes soon and you'll have to, basically, isolate her from a lot of stressors. She won't like it, but she's too far along to do much else. I would suggest you leave her here where we can make sure she and the babies are safe. But that means notifying Hogwarts if you choose to do that. "

Jack thought for a moment at his words "I 'll do that I'll send an owl tonight , she is not going back to school a sub can take her classes till she is well enouph" he said "tough if she dosen't like it , i'd rather have a stress less wife than one whose stresssed to the max and risking her health" he smiled seing Andrew looking down at him "bo bo gone" he said smiling.

Jack turned him so he could see Robert "yeah this kind man did it, he taking care of mum, mum, too and your new brothers and sisters" he looked at Robert " she and this one and those babies are my life , you know that" he said looking deathly seriouse.

"I know that," Robert said, "Just like Khaat and her mother are mine. That night we almost lost Khaat just a short while back because of Mr. Majere, well, I just don't want to repeat it. Her fiance is a good man. She's very lucky to have him. He's going to be a good father when the time comes."

Jack looked puzzeled at him for the moment "when the time comes , Khaat?" then his face grew into a smile as things slipped into place. "well i'll be" he said and laughed "your going to be a granddad" he said placing his hand on his shoulder "congrates" he said still grinning. "seems theres a lot of babies around" implying Khaat and Jessica "sure you didn't put something in the water here?" he chuckled
