waiting for babies

Jack would have said somthing but chose not to he understod he had no choice but to let jessica sort it out on her own "Khaat I was an Auror , and yes i know fear better that any one it eats awy at you , the only way to over come it is to face it, yet with jssica how can she face somthing she dosn't even know" he stood up and walked to the window he was angry but not at Khaat but at him self for babying jessica this long .

"Jack, he's not even here. She's afraid of a memory. Something that can do her no harm. And the more she stays feeling weak and helpless, the more stress she's going to be under, and the more danger these babies will be in. Do you want her to be so fragile forever? If you don't, you have to start getting her to stop living in the fear of her own mind. I can have my father block that for her, but that doesn't really help her. It only will make her wonder what he blocked away and why. She needs to work through this, and you have to stop protecting her so much. You do protect her. but sometimes its too much. Jack, If I truly weren't your friend, I wouldn't be so honest with you. A friend tells you the truth, not just what you want to hear. While she's here, you need to truly put her, totally and completely, into my father's hands and let him do what she truly needs--whatever that is."

Jack could fell it in his heart he had no choice but to do as she said "it means only one thing i have to go, if i am here I will want to protect her and as you said I have to let her do this with your father" he looked at Khaat though his body showed anger his eyes did not "if I need to contact her i will threw you" he said turning to head for the kitchen door with his and on the door handel she spoke again this time he did not face her "remember our wedding is in one week, Take care of her.. " he said as he opened the door and stepped out side. He felt his heart brake at not being able to see her but he knew it was right, he didn't leave right away but headed for their barn.

Once there he startred to hit the hay bails thumping them hard and then harder stil, soon all his ebnergy was gone and he had to admit he felt better as he thought on , he hadn't lost her she was still thr for him to see to touch and feel but he could not take her home, at lest not yet but one day he would. He Aperated back to his home where he was greeted by there house keeper and babysiter along with Andrew, after explaining to both about jessica he lifted Andrew into his arms and headed indoors.

Robert had sensed Jacks' despondency as he left the farm. He felt for the young man, but he also knew that Jack was doing far more harm than good to Jess at this rate. Jack was trying to ease his guilt for a situation that was not his fault by making Jess dependent on him, and Jess was allowing him to do it because she didn't want to face her fears. As Robert was sitting near his now lightly sleeping daughter, he sensed darkness approaching his farm with an intent to harm. He got up from his chair and brushed Khaat's cheek lightly. He wanted her to rest. He didn't want her to have to fight every day of her life.

He took his wand and went out in the yard. He stood still, sensing the energy coming. This was Jess's dark man. Not the huge evil formidible force that Jess had built him up to be in her own mind. Robert's powers were immensely more than this little twerp with a need for power and control. He had obviously just intimidated and frightened the wits out of Jess and then cast some sort of fear spell on her. Robert knew in order for Jess to break the spell and get her confidence back, she needed to stand up to him.

He raised his wand and made a relatively small hole in the defensive shield he had around his farm. It would be just enough for this little prat to penetrate. He would not let Jess come to harm, but neither would he let her know he was right there with her to back her up just in case. He knew Jess enough by now that she was not going to let anything happen to those babies she carried. And he knew any child from Dumbledore's lineage had enough powers to take care of this for herself. He lowered his wand and went inside. He looked at Katherine. "Have your wand at the ready, Kate," He said, "Do not interfere, no matter what you hear, unless I call for you. Protect Khaat and keep her from interfering." Katherine merely looked at him, trusting in his great wisdom, and nodded.

Robert went into Jess's room and positioned himself in the corner of the room, beside the headboard of the bed, between the armoire and the wall. He cast a spell over himself to cause himself to not be seen. It created a shadow around him and hid him. He simply stood, his wand at the ready, and waited.

As jess slept her dream turned into a night mare the children turning into dementors right in front of her, jack laying on a pool of his own blood, she felt panic and fear run threw her whole body then she woke " just a dream " she said softly but yet she could still feel it the fear hanging in the air like the electricity before a thunder storm. She felt the fear all too real build from somewhere deep inside her boiling bubbling ready to boil over at any moment.

Then she heard it a faint voice caught in a breeze "I have returned" it said her body tensed from fright " No, no, not again" She sat motionless on the bed frozen in fear her legs and arms refusing to work as out the shadows stepped the figure of dark clocked man "did you think you would get away from me that easily my Jessica, you shall give me what should have been mine all along" she watched him move or rather float towards her. Suddenly she moved bolting to the door but no sooner she moved it slammed shut locking and she stood her back against it.

"Come now, did you not think I would give you up so easily if I did not want something, the children of the grand daughter of Albus Dumbledore will have unlimited power if channeled right" he spoke softly almost hypnotically to her as he draw closer to her his cold hand reaching out to her.

Jessica felt tremendous pain in her stomach the closer he came she knew the babies even unborn could sense he was evil and were trying to escape but just causing her pain again she bolted for her bed, she heard the roar of the man behind her now growing impatient at her skill to avoid him, and lunged for her and casting Levicorpus but missing her as she dove out of his way.

Now she sat in a corner her mind now reaching back into its self deep in it recesses something small yet bright seems to glow slowly it begins to brighten a voice fills her mind it says only one thing “"We must try not to sink beneath our anguish, Jessica, but battle on.” She stood up feeling a surge of something from deep with in her something she had long forgotten.

“I am Jessica dark angel, grand daughter of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, and you shall not have my children “she said feeling once more the surge now focused into her hands as she stood to face him her fear as if never was her mind clear once more as if waking from a living night mare, rising her hands she focused the light threw her and out as the light enveloped the dark man she called out “avada kedavra.” And he writhed and squirmed as the light and spell took hold.

“You will never harm any one ever again, my children and their children’s children will life with out the fear of you” she brightened the light around him and in an instant he was gone the white light moved enveloping Jessica as she slowly rose from the ground only an inch, then seeming to slip back inside her letting her gently rest on the floor on her knees.

Robert removed the spell from himself and called to her softly and moved forward to her. He knelt beside her. "Well done, my dear," he soothed her, brushing her hair softly. "Well done, indeed. That is any offspring of Albus would do. He would be proud of you. You faced your greatest fear head on--and you defeated it. You won. Superb job. Now come. On your feet. Khaat would never forgive me if I left you sitting here on the floor. " He stood and helped her up slowly and gently.

His healing skills told him that her strength was fast returning to her and at levels she had not felt for months. He was glad to see it. It would, no doubt, leave her a bit disoriented and confused as she began to try to figure out why she had been so numb and frightened, almost like waking finally from a bad dream left to its own devices too long. He replaced her back in bed, covered her, and sat with her. "Your energies are returning. Just let it happen naturally. You may find that within an hour or so, you will feel like a whole new person--or at least a person you haven't been in a very long time. That may, actually, help you to be able to handle your pregnancy a lot better, maybe even attend your own wedding, a lot of things you have wanted to do. And, no doubt, you will be safer in delivering your children.

" I am sorry I allowed him through to you, but it was the only way I could help you to end this nightmare for yourself and your children and your husband before it put your and your babies very lives at risk. Forgive me, my dear. Just so you know, you were never alone. I was here, and I would not have let him harm a hair on your head if it had come to that. But I knew you--I knew that Dumbledore strength you had would come forth and you would prevail. So you know--you were never, ever at risk here and neither were your children. I am so sorry I let him frighten you, though." He kissed her forehead softly. "You were brilliant."

jessica sudenly felt two strong arms around her she redied her self for a fight but the voice that came was kind and she relsxed letting him help her to her feet the babys inside her now calm only bubbling feelings came from them and she smiled as she felt her strength return , be it slowly but she did and she breathed a sigh of relife.

"why do I feel like i've been dreaming?" she asked as he led her back to the bed , sitting she listened to his words "you did what had to be done , I am thank full you did, now I can move on and actualy be free now" her voice sounding confident as she lay on the bed her eyes drooping as she looked at him "thank you Robert, I don't think i could have broken free from his dark spell on my own but..." she gave a yawn feeling sudenly very tired a glow seeming to suround her as she lay asleep on the bed.

Robert recognized her need to sleep after being released from the spell that had held her for so long. But he also knew she would wake from it feeling better than she had for a long, long time. He decided to let her rest. He covered her gently and then he went outside, taking his wand. He sealed the breech in his protections again, making the farm again a safe place to be.

He went back inside and checked on Khaat who was just waking. "You didn't sleep long, my dear," he said to her, sitting with her. "No, but it helped," khaat admitted. "I want you to get on a better schedule," he told her. "I know you're right," she said. She stopped and frowned. Something felt different in the house. "It's alright, Khaat," he reassured her. "I left Jessica's dark man in the house. He was a little twerp of a man but he surely had her caught in a fear spell. She stood up to him, and he is no more. The spell is broken, and the farm is safe again. What you feel is the leftover of his energy spell and the return of her energies. ALl is as it finally should be." "Thank you, Daddy," Khaat said. She sait up and her head spun. "Daddy," she called. He came over and touched her forehead. "You're exhausted, Khaat. A power nap isn't going to do it. You need a couple days of rest." "I have to get home to my kids, Daddy." "You need some help for awhile." "They'll help. They're good kids." "Well, you at least need to stay until you feel a bit better. Lay back down and get some more rest." She sighed and gave in. He kissed her forehead. "I'll take care of it, Khaat. Get some rest."

Jack sat in their bed room he looked around and saw her hair brush still sat on the bedside table "great how could I have forgot that" he said to himself , picking it up he held it in his hand ass he moved down stairs , after checking Andrew and the baby sitter were ok, Andrew was face painting her as a cat his favorate animal.

Jack moved out side and aperated to the farm , his sences tingled from something that hung in the air.he could not help sense something bad may have happend his muscles flexed , but yet all loooked fine as it ws when he left. Gripping the brush he moved to the door and knocked knowing after he left he should not enter with out knowing it was safe to do so.

Robert answered the door, and seeing Jack, he smiled and said, "I wondered when you'd come back. Come in. She's resting. She's feeling better. and in a few hours, she'll feel better still. So what brings you back, Jack?" he asked.
