Escape to Brian Quinn's

jessica's sile grew "ow sounds wonderful " she said glancing at Catlin as she sneezed " I can tell you now we'll be taking it " she grinned and sat back " he'll be more relaxed too, jack i mean, hes been tense these last few days then...." she paused looking at Khaat and sighed "ok they were taken from us , kidnappend but brian and Jack got them back, I don't want to know how but im just glad there home again."

Jessica looked out side and watched as Andrew played using an old stick as a sword and talking like a pirate. Smiling she turned back to Khaat "He's not bothered by it and thats a good thing, I hope, Its good to have some one to talk to again , strange we're both mothers to young ones at the same time."

"You'll find out sooner or later. Daddy runs an international organization that is dedicated to rescuing wizarding children. That's where Andrew is getting this new pirate phase he's in. It's run a lot like a pirate ship. Daddy is, of course, the captain, and Brian is the first mate. He's been Daddy's right hand man for years. He's a very skilled auror and a healer. There is a huge industry in wizarding children being kidnapped and then sold to wealthy muggles. The kids are only taught enough magic to make their 'owners' more powerful and more wealthy. Daddy's organization rescues the kids and reunites them with their parents. They rescue well over a hundred kids worldwide every year. Brian got your kids back, with Jack's help, because he's very good at what he does. He knew who took them by the clues in your house and knew exactly where they had taken the kids. It's why Brian has never married. Rescuing children and getting them home to his family is everything to him. He never had much of a family life, except for the relationships he has with my parents and me. So he wants to be certain that every kid has a chance to have what he didn't--as best he can.

"I met Brian when we were just kids and we just sort of clicked. He and I have a sibling relationship, and he's Daddy's best friend. They just took him in like he was another kid. I don't know if you know, but Brian was there for me, in the delivery room,, as my birthing coach when Rob refused to have any part of it. And now, he's in charge of my security. But I'm really glad Jack and Steven are here too. It does help to have so many people who care being so close."

Jessica listened to Khaat explain about her fathers organization she smiled to her and took out the pendant Brian had give both her and jack when he joined and smiled. " I'm glad Brian went now , I guess its like having your big brother around, he is a good man and a good influence on the children " she sighed and looked at Khaat "I know how he feels , remember when we first met I told you I didn't have any family except jack and Andrew , well now I guess I do in you Robert and I hope Brain , Steven I reserve judgment yet, I know he’s a family man too but going threw losing some one " she sighed "I am just glad he’s threw the other side and is all right now , yes Jack told me when he asked if he could stay that night they all got drunk" she could not help but chuckle "you should have seen Jack he fell a sleep on the couch and that morning had a hangover you would not believe and let him suffer "she smiled at her

"That was pretty funny," Khaat laughed. "It really was Jack and Brian's plan to get Steven a bit tipsy in order to help wake him up a bit. I don't know what happened, but I do know it worked. That's all I really care about. And I'm glad you're okay with Jack being part of the organization. As far as family goes, you've all been part of our family for a long time.

"You know what's funny, Rob and Jen just really don't get it. They see my relationships with my parents and my friends as being dependency. They think its all about my not being able to stand on my own two feet. Idiots. I'm not 16 anymore. That's just such an immature perspective. Yeah, when I was about that age I felt that way too about my parents. But, generally, in a functional family, we get over that adolescent 'I-want-to-do-it-all-myself'' crap. We get smarter and realize that love is far more important than anything else. Even the best wizards know that love is the oldest and most powerful magic of all. So, yeah, I just chalk it up to Charlotte Dent not knowing much about love or teaching it. One or the other. Somehow her kids just never became adults.

"I would much rather spend one hour with someone who loves me than years with someone who doesn't. So, yeah, I'm pretty happy right where I am. I would like Brian to put in an inground pool, though. I like to swim. Might have to have him conjure one out back off the paito. The ground really is flat enough for it, and then you and I can leave the kids with the men and go for a swim. What do you think?"

Jessica chuckled "yeah it is look at me and jack we've been together nearly a year and a half and still going strong , even with his little things " she smiled at jack now out side playing with Andrew seeing him smile back at her and blow her a kiss before Andrew smacked him on his butt and he laughed running after him like a tickle monster "yeap love is a most powerful magic , it got me threw my dark days , helped Jack find me again and help create these two. " she smiled down at two sleeping babies then to Khaat s she spoke about a pool.

She chuckled at the mention of getting Brian to put the pool backing off the patio, "and Jacuzzi, got to have one of those, all those bubbles, I’m just relaxing thinking of it” she grinned at her

"I'll talk to Brian. He said he'd do anything we needed or wanted. I'm sure, with the way he likes to exercise, he'd enjoy a pool and a jacuzzi. He is just really an exercise junkie. That's his biggest hobby. He'll do it. "

"He'll do what?" Brian asked, coming back through the living room, just making a security check. "Who's going to do what?'

"Well," Khaat said," We were talking about how wonderful it would be if we had an inground pool here, and maybe a Jacuzzi. I like to swim..."

"I know you do," he smiled, "I remember. And I think its a wonderful idea. It would be good exercise for you while you are still weak. And you know I love to swim. I guess I just havent been here enough to think about that. I'll do that tonight. I can conjure those up tonight without a whole lot of problems. We may not have time tomorrow if we go see Rob and Jen. And when Abbey is old enough to crawl, I'll put a fence around it. In fact,..." he drew his wand and went outside.

Khaat smiled at Jess. "Looks like we might even get a midnight swim tonight. The boys might have to babysit afterall."

jessica smiled and nodded "that would be good, we could get our prebaby figures back " she said chuckaling to herself " house work only dose so much " she said patting her tummy and chukaling " midnight swim sounds good " she thought for a moment "do you think your brian would mind looking after these two for us as well as abby , its been a while since me and Jack had some together time " she smiled looking down at the twins " the last time was before these were born" she bent down and again brushed catlins cheek " its nice when there young". She looked up and saw Jack arying Andrew on his back like a hourse and laughed motioning to Khat to look.

"I would love to get back in shape," Khaat smiled. "Daddy says it is going to take awhile. Most women want to lose weight, but Daddy wants me to gain weight. I can understand that. I really can. I don't like the way I look in the mirror either. And you know, I think that there are enough guys here between Daddy, Brian, Jack, and Steven that the kids will be well taken care of. And besides Emmy is here too. There are are lot of people here besides just us. The kids will be alright. I'm anxious to see what kind of a pool he comes up with. He enver does anything second best. This ought to be fun."

Jessica looked at them "yeah I know but after what happened I guess i fell a bit... insecure , does that seem bad?" she asked " after all that has happened I just want to keep them close to me " she said with a sigh , turning to face her she sighed "I thought I had lost them Khaat , I truly thought our house would be empty, and when jack told me that jack knew where they had been and helped get them back " she paused and looked at her "I owe him big time , these are my life, as I guess you know with having Abby now" she gave a smile to her "ok nuff of the sad stuff , I’d like to see those men builds the perfect swimming pool, knowing them it would have a TV at one end and a Jacuzzi at the other with a foot ball net in between " she said chuckling at the thought.

"Maybe for most men, but not Brian. He'd be more of your in-the-water-dueling-arena sort of guy," Khaat laughed. She looked out the patio doors and windows and watched Brian's wand sparks flying. It made her laugh. "That man is seriously conjuring something," she said. "Looks like we'll be in that pool in no time."

She did understand how Jess was feeling about her kids. She did understand the insecurity. And she knew every adult in the house understood that. They were all parents. Well, except Brian, but he took the protection of kids as his life mission.

"What in the world is he doing?" Robert frowned, coming into the room and seeing Khaat's gaze following Brian outside.

"He's making a pool," Khaat replied, still watching the wand sparks outside.

"Sounds like fun," Robert laughed, drawing his wand and going outside with Brian.

"Oh, no. I've createed a monster," Khaat laughed. "Its always dangerous to get those two together using their wands. Always."
