Rob + Khaat=Abbey

Brian reached for her. He wanted Khaat to see her before her fragile energies made her fade either into sleep or unconsciousness. He took the baby from Phae and laid her gently in Khaat's arms. He laid his hand on her forehead again and boosted her energies again, enough to see her. Khaat looked at her, stunned. "Brian? Is she alright?" she asked softly. "She's fine, Khaat. Really fine," Brian said.

He noticed Katherine and Robert looking over the birth certificate. They wanted the statistics. "She's huge for her age," Robert said. "She won't be in the NICU long. That's for sure. " He and Katherine cleaned Khaat up and got rid of any trace of any mess or difficulty. Made her look a bit more refreshed, and managed to do it without moving Abbey out of her arms.

Robert checked Khaat well. She was going to be weak for quite awhile. She had given almost more than she had. Brian's help had been priceless. His energy spells kept her going when Robert could not give them to her fast enough. Robert removed the numbing spells and replaced them with a light sleep spell, one he knew would allow her to appear more aware to Rob, and would help mask how close they had come to losing her.

Robert went out into the hall, found Rob and touched him, waking him. He didn't know whether he had been sleeping or whether Jen had tortured him into unconciousness. "Come see your wife and your daughter," he told Rob softly. "They're both fine. And Abbey is gorgeous. Come see them before Khaat goes to sleep."

Rob looked blearily up at Robert and blinked a few times letting the words process. They’d survived. They’d both survived. Shit. Rob straightened and ran a hand through his hair. He couldn’t have just accidently fathered a child because of a one night stand. He had to get married and reproduce. There was something seriously wrong with him. He’d have to have that pretty little Healer check him out just to check he wasn’t dying or coming down with some sort of illness or something. Why didn’t he run? He could run now. Yes, run.

Rob turned around and saw Jen stood in the hall way, her hand on her gun as if she knew what he was going to do. Rob opened his mouth to speak but she cut him off. “F*ck off Rob. You meant every word.” She bit out, causing him to wince. He turned back to Robert and felt his mother’s hand on his forearm. He looked down at her and she smiled a little, encouragingly. He was taking a huge step here. He was possibly also changing the history books as far as the Whitlock’s were concerned. Charlotte was eager to see and eager to learn. Rob just wanted to scarper like every other man in his family before him. But he figured Jen would probably string him up by his balls if he did and then beat him to death or something equally horrible. She’d then get put in Azkaban and come out fifteen years later insane like Bellatrix Lestrange and try to kill everyone in sight.

“Rob, your sister is no relation of the Lestrange’s. Perhaps way, way, way, way, way, way....well you know what I mean but the point is she’s not going to go to Azkaban because I’ll bail her out.” Charlotte winked and Rob blanched a little. He really did want to curl up and die. Miami and Amika wandered over and Amika looked pointedly at Rob. He rolled his eyes and patted her head.
“Fine, you get the middle name.” He managed. Amika’s face lit up and Miami began to pull herself up Rob’s trouser leg. He picked her up and handed her to her mother before making his way into the room Khaat was being kept in.

He smiled at the pretty healer who returned it with a blush and he smirked a little before wandering over to where Khaat was. He could feel his feet, their desperate attempt to move him as far away from the hospital as possible. He didn’t want to go though, not really. Rob bit his lip. Charlotte pressed her lips together beside him and Miami poked Rob in the arm. He looked at her and she smiled a toothless smile. “Pretty.” She said, pointing to the baby. Rob smiled weakly and gently tugged one of her ringlets. Miami scowled at him and pinched the skin on his hand. Rob pulled his hand away like he’d been burned and frowned at the baby who looked at him innocently.

"Rob," Khaat said softly, trying to make her voice have some strength and trying to make her mind have some sense, "Come hold your daughter. She won't break. Please. Come meet Abbey. You know how long she's waited to meet you. Pick her up."

Robert picked up the baby from Khaat and put her gently in Rob's arms, making sure Abbey was going to be positioned right. "She's truly a beautiful child, Rob. Truly," Robert said softly. "She's going to be a gorgeous little girl."

Swallowing, Rob pulled away a bit from Robert so he could get himself together a bit. He could hold a baby, he wasn’t that stupid but she wasn’t as big as the ones he’d held before so he had to adjust her a bit before he was comfortable and vice versa. He looked down at Abbey and the sides of his lips twitched a little. He’d probably still curse Robert but he’d definitely done a good job. Rob reached down and squeezed Khaat’s hand. He smiled wearily at her and released her hand. He looked down at Abbey and his eyes widened to the size of saucers. Her ears were moving up to the top of her head and were sprouting gold hair. He blinked a few times and her little eyes opened. Her lips curled into a small smile before they closed again and she fully began to change. Soon enough a puppy was wrapped up in the blanket. A beautiful golden Labrador retriever. Rob blinked and Charlotte looked over his arm at the child. She blanched and her eyes narrowed at Khaat accusingly. Rob walked over to the young healer calmly and placed the puppy in her arms before everything went black.

Phaedra was busy clearing up the scales and such. She packed it away and looked over to see her new friend’s eyes widen to the size of teacup rims. She raised an eyebrow and watched as he calmly walked over to her. He placed the baby in her arms and promptly fell backwards to the floor. Phaedra’s eyebrows shot to her hairline and she blinked a few times before looking down at the baby who was actually a puppy. That was definitely a new one as far as accidental magic was concerned. Phaedra began to gently rock the child and shook her head. “Abbey you have a very strange Daddy.” She smiled and the little gi- dog yipped quietly before snuggling close to Phae. Phaedra knelt down next to Rob and shook his shoulder a little. She looked down at Abbey who had her eyes open and smiled weakly. Phae took her wand out of her pocket and tapped Rob’s chest. “C’mon Daddy you’re embarrassing.” She murmured to him. Abbey made a noise which sounded like comprehension and Phaedra smirked.

'Accidental baby magic," Brian said softly into Khaat's ear to reassure her. "Rob must be an animagus, right?" Khaat noded and then somewhat stunned by Robert's sedative asked, "Why?" She had seen Rob fall, and was completely used to seeing new fathers faint, but didn't know why Rob had. "Your daughter just changed briefly to a beautiful little lab puppy." "A..puppy?" Khaat asked, "Are you sure?" "Saw it myself," he laughed. She hid in Brian's chest. "Thank God," she whispered, trying to hide new tears, "Thank God. I didn't give it to her. She's an animagus. She's just an animagus." "Oh, honey," he curled his arms around her. "It would have been okay either way. She's beautiful. "

"Khaat," Robert said, "I want you to rest soon. That is more than enough work for one night. You need to get your strength back. I will not release you until you do. Or at least more than you have now. I'd only be taking care of you at home if I did." He didn't see that Rob was in any shape to take care of himself, let alone Abbey or Khaat at this point. He had seen this before, from tougher men, but he was hoping Rob's shock wore off soon. He noticed Khaat's grip on Brian and said, 'He can stay if you rest, Khaat."

Phaedra flicked her wand at Abbey and directed the little girl to the incubator. She seemed happy inside there and Phaedra focused on getting her father awake. She shook him a few times, getting no response. She frowned and mumbled ‘Rennervate’. He slowly began to come to and Phaedra levitated him out of the room. She walked down the corridor with him towards one of the wards. She headed towards the Paediatrics because she figured he’d want to see his daughter when he woke up. She walked into the ward and heard Abbey fuss a little from her incubator. Phaedra dropped Rob on one of the beds and moved the incubator onto one of the stands. She put her hand inside and held her finger out for the baby to take. Abbey gripped it and Phaedra smiled.

She looked up at the sound of footsteps on the tiling and saw the woman who had been cursing Rob standing awkwardly in the room. Phaedra retracted her hand from the incubator and smiled at the woman. She gestured to the incubator and moved towards the bed she dropped Rob on, leaving the woman with the child. Phaedra nudged Rob and his eyes slowly flicked open. She smiled down at him and began to take his vitals just to make sure he was okay. He probably had a concussion. He hit the floor pretty hard but other than that he seemed alright. “Welcome back, Daddy.” She smiled, putting a cool hand on his forehead. He closed his eyes and made a ‘Mmhmm’ sound. She smirked and retracted her hand. “You’re okay. You should think yourself lucky. If it wasn’t for the, uh, fall then you could have overdosed on stress relieving potions. How long have you been taking them?” she asked, sorting through some of the potions in the cupboard by the bed.

“Sorry?” Rob asked, cracking an eye open at her. “Stress relievers? I....none. I haven’t.” He stuttered, not really sure what to say. “Why would I need them?” he chuckled but winced after a second. Phaedra looked at him and smiled knowingly. He opened his eyes again and looked at her. “It’s not going to kill me you know. They were just a good escape.”
“They will eventually, you know.” Phaedra said, giving him a pain relieving jab through his wrist straight into the vain. He hissed in pain and she stroked the skin gently with her fingers. “Stress relieving potions make the addict even more agitated when they were off. It’s common medical knowledge Mr. Dent.” She gave him another jab and he winced. She stroked the skin there and smiled softly, murmuring “Sorry.”
“S’okay. It just smarts a bit. I’m no healer you know, miss. What happened to Rob anyway? What’s your name?” he asked, wincing again as she began to bandage his wrist to prevent any infection.
“Phaedra.” She said, cutting a bit more bandage off of the reel. “I figured seeing as you’re now my patient I better be professional.”
“Professional my arse.” He snorted before groaning. “You don’t have any oral pain relievers do you?” She nodded but didn’t say any more. “Overdose?” he asked. She nodded and smiled slyly. He chuckled and relaxed a little. He didn’t like healers but this one wasn’t so bad.

Jen had seen Rob get levitated out of Khaat’s room by a healer and there was this little alien mother ship thing floating beside him. Jen wanted to know what it was so she threw her cards in, letting Amika win 20,000 galleons and got up. She walked along the corridor and walked into the children’s ward behind the healer and her brother. She saw the alien mother ship get put onto a stand and the healer put her arm inside. Jen’s eyebrows rose to her hairline and she walked closer. The healer turned and smiled at her before gesturing to the ship. She walked off and Jen saw her disappear behind a curtain. No doubt Rob was behind it just coming to. Jen walked over to the mother ship and her eyes softened at the sight of her niece. She truly was beautiful and all Rob it seemed. He’d done well. Jen put her hand inside and tickled the little girl’s nose. Her eyes opened for a few moments before closing again. The sides of Jen’s lips quirked upwards into a smile and she sat down on the bed beside the incubator. “Welcome to insanity, Abbey Dent. Let’s hope you can survive it.”

Brian had stayed faithfully beside Khaat because it seemed to him that her husband was useless. Brian and Khaat had no romantic feelings, but he was a trifle put out by Rob's inability to get past his own ego to be of some little worth to his wife and daughter who had nearly died tonight. Brian had also seen the clear signs of far too much potion in his system, but he knew Khaat had been oblivious to it because of all the potions it had taken to keep her alive. Personally, he wanted to see Rob try to survive his bootcamp for just one day, let alone the whole camp. Boy, she sure couldn't pick 'em. She'd picked a weenie and he hadn't been here for her. That, in Brian's book was inexcusable. But he judged that men like Rob Dent either made a lot of enemies, or just made people think he was boyishly innocent. And he didn't think much of either. So Brian took charge, waiting for new instructions from Robert. He sat in the chair by the bed, watching Khaat sleep, keeping a close eye on her vital signs, and stood guard, wanting no one to disturb her.

As far as Brian was concerned, Robert had done exceptionally well in a near impossible situation. He was now documenting his notes, and setting new orders for both mother and baby. Katherine had gone to get a bit of air. She was just about as angry with Rob as she could get. Rob had been either drunk or stoned, and she wasn't a healer, but that much was plain. Robert hadn't had the patience to even be bothered with his son in law, nor the time. As far as Robert was concerned, he was leaving Rob to self destruct on his own so he himself and Kate could get on wth the business of helping Khaat raise her daughter.

OoC:So what's happening? Khaat, how should I post? What should I do in my post? xD
