Visitors for Khaat and Abbey

"See what I mean? Nasty. I"m not eating that. I really will have to readdress the food program here or get Daddy to raise some cain about it. I think I'll let it sit here until he finds the foul stuff for himself. Then he'll take over on his own. I won't have to do a thing. If I get hungry, I'll have Mom bring me something or I'll get Lizzie to send me something from Sparks. I know there's not a single chance there will be even a single cookie left. Are you kidding me? Two small boys being left to their own devices with my mother's sugar cookies? Nobody will get any but them. But if they get all the cookies they want, you'll end up getting all the fish you want. It might work out. Who knows? And they'll learn a valuable lesson about eating dozens of cookies nonstop. Might do them a bit of good to get that little life lesson right out of the way now while they're young."

Steven laughed " yeah I'll be back here with the boys cox they'll have tummy ache" he said chuckaling still at the thought of two boys one under each arm groaning because they ate too may suger cookies. "I'll make a note to stop by sparks and let her know to bring something for you later, you can't not eat you need to build up your strength " he turned to face out the window again watching as the first drops of rain started to fall against it he trully hoped Khaat would now strt taking care of her self and become the woman he remembered from when he first woke, the woman who had fire in her eyes and spirit.

Brian wasn't comfortable being away from Khaat any longer, even if Steven was there. It wasn't that he didn't trust Steven. He did. He didn't trust the other nuts in the world. He'd become pessimistic about a lot of things a long time ago. And he knew Khaat's condition was not as good as he wanted it to be for a new mother. She was entirely too thin and weak. That was obviously why Robert had not even given her a choice about some of the ways Abbey was to be cared for. He had just made decisions for her based on Khaat's very fragile health.

Brian had seen Khaat thin before, but never, ever like this. Not even when Remus died. It made him want to send her ignorant husband through a wall to wake him up a little. As he came back into St. Mungos, showered and refreshed, he could smell the food cart bringing lunch around, and it smelled so foul to him, even with his strong stomach he knew Khaat wouldn't eat a bite of it. He slipped back out, and brought her a bowl of chicken soup from Sparks with a cup of their french roast, and a couple of croissants.

He went back up to her room and went in and shut the door, shutting out the foul food odors. "You might have to talk to the Director about that sort of smell up and down the halls," He laughed at her. "Hi, Steven. I'm glad she was in good hands while I was gone. Khaat, I couldn't stand that smell, so I popped down to Sparks and brought you a bowl of soup and a cup of coffee. By the way, Lizzie says hi and says she can't wait to see Abbey."

Steven turned from the window to see Brian walk in in his hand was food , he turned way knowing that was one more thing Brian had out done on him and he folded his arms , maybe he thought they were too a like so much so they could not be in the same room "yeah, i was going to bring her something later " he said "but I see you brought her something now, let me guess, sparks? " he finished moving to the foot of the bed so brian could move to beside the bed where he once stood. Steven rubbed his temples as he could feel a head ache starting.

"I don't know what they think they're serving, but it surely isn't going to make anybody well, now is it?" he frowned. "And yes, its just a bowl of Lizzie's chicken soup. I told her I wanted something for Khaat, and Lizzie said Khaat's appetite was never good and said she knew just the thing. She packaged up some soup, threw in a couple of croissants and a cup of coffee. " Brian had picked up on Steven's headache right away. He sensed it, felt it. "Where is your headache coming from? Maybe a lack of sleep?" he asked Steven.

Steven shook his head " it comes and goes" he said softly "at the moment its come, with a vengance" he said rubbing at his temples again "can't excatly to be laid up in a coma for 6 months with out some form of side affect " he said looking at Brian before with a deep sigh he took himself to the medicine tent to feel it slowly dispear. Opening his eyes again he looked at Khaat "I must rember to call in Sparks to check it out myself " he said glancing for only a moment at Brian

"That will ease in time," Khaat reassured Steven. "Head injuries can take up to about a year to fully heal. If it continues to give you problems, let Daddy or me know. We'll look into it. I'm glad you can use relaxation techniques, and I"m glad they help. But honestly, I want more than that for you. I want you to be healthy. I want you to be able to really enjoy your life with your sons while they're young and while you're young. Those things are important to me. You do know, dont you, that either Brian or I would be more than happy to relieve that for you with just a touch--right?" She wanted to frown at Steven and give him one of those "stop that" looks that told him to stop whatever inner conflict he had with Brian. It was important to her that her friends got along. And she loved both Steven and Brian. They were both important to her.

he looked at Khaat "I know you could but at this moment in time is the least of my worries " he said "Like I said it comes and goes " he saw her look and gave her his best "yes mommy" looks and smirked to show he was ok "the soup will do you good , biuld your strength back up again Khaat" he said folding his arms cross his chest "yes brian it could be I was woke by two boys play if outside my window , they played pirates rather loudly" he said with a grin

"My favorite game," Brian laughed loudly, truly amused. The irony was not missed on him. He caught Khaat's maternal glare at Steven and laughed again. "You don't happen to see any of Robert in her, just by chance, do you, Steven?" he laughed. "She used to be like Remus, but I swear, she's getting more and more like Robert every day. When she gets older, she's going to be one very powerful wizard, I think. I think she's going to follow right in her father's footsteps. Then we'll all have to look out."

steven chuckled " ow yeah, I did " he said grinning as he stood with his arms folded across his chest "well thats something we both agree on" he said now smiling to Brian " and yeap we will have to keep a close eye on her" he could not help feel some what relaxed around Brian now but that headache he could till feel in the back of his mind thumping away. He knew he'd have to find a more permanant solution to his problem.
