Escape to Brian Quinn's

"You'll find them. She can probably tell you right where she was hurt at, actually," Khaat said. Just at that moment, Abbey started to kick and cry. Khaat sighed. Much as she loved Abbey, this was going to get on her nerves tonight. She wasn't sure why. It made her feel like a bad mother already. It frustrated her. She felt like instant patience should have somehow been hormonally triggered when she delivered Abbey, but it seemed it had not happened.

steven moved to Abby "ok little miss time to change you" he said and looked at Kate "Unless you want to?" he asked as he looked down at abby, picking he up as if she was John he carried her threw to the next room and chaged her as if he adh ben doing it all his life as he chaged her he found himself making slilly noises and faces witch she seem to like and giggled at each time he did one partcular one. Now clean he did up her onese and crried her bck int Khaat "ok all changed but one job i think should be left for the mother" , he accioed a bottle and placed her down in to Khaats arms and placed the bottle in her hand "think shes read for her next feed."

Khaat fed her easily. She didn't mind feeding her. It gave them bonding time. She felt like her life was in such an uproar. It was, truly, what was making her edgy. She didn't know now what she really did want, long term, for her life or Abbey's. Only that she wanted her daughter safe and happy. She had wonderful friends and family. But was working at St. Mungos what she wanted? Was the Wizengamot what she wanted?

"Brian, did you ever get those horses?" she asked suddenly.

"Horses?" he frowned. "Where did that come from? And when would anybody have time to tend horses here in a house that's so rarely used?"

"No horses, then."

"No. And you're not medically able to ride anyway, and you know it. Focus, Khaat. What's the real issue? Rob, still?"

"No, not really. Just a bit confused I suppose. I did not think this is how life would be for either Abbey or me. Neither of us. Its a bit like being in command of a ship and not having a compass." She sighed. "I have no direction for either her or myself."

stevcen looked at Brain s he spoke than to Khaat " but isn't that the beauty of it , thr freedom to do what you want , to make you charts to follow , both for you and Abby " he said sighing "kinda what Im doing with john at the moment" he looked at her then smiled " Forget the past adn mve forward , thats why a ship always travels forward with teh tide , that ahd it dosn't have reverse , but you get wat I mean" he sid hoping she did.

"I suppose you're right," she smiled. "When I can get up again, let's all go to spakrs and get out for the evening. Lizzie would be delighted to cook for us, and it would help me think again. Either that or find some nice little muggle bistro that we can all get away from the wizarding world for just a bit in. Maybe a place that serves really good burgers and fries or something. I don't know. I think getting away would be a good idea. "

Then she looked at both Brian and Steven. "You know I will want to see Rob in Azkaban when I know he's finally there. I have a thing or two to say to him before I will feel like I can go forward much. And, then, as far as I'm concerned, we should cook some steaks or something outside and find a way to look forward on this. Or do you all think I'm crazy?"

steven chuckled at her saying she wanted to find a place that serves really good burgers and fries "I might know a place " he said but his face became seriose when she said she wanted to visit Rob when he was in askban "not with out us Khaat we cn't take the risk he hasn't got some one gunning for you " he said and looked at Brian knowing he had just said what he thought too, because of the reporter that was still sniffing around.

"Rob has no reason to kill me," Khaat said. "My father, maybe. But not me. But if you want to come, that's fine by me. He's going to be more angry at my father than anyone else. My father blew the whistle on him and changed his life as well as mine and Abbey's. So, he has more motive to be angry with him. But I do see your point."

"Ah, but the press is a bigger threat right at the moment. They could well make your life miserable, and we don't want that," Brian said. "That's what we're avoiding as well. I have no issue with you going out when you're well, and perhaps a muggle neighborhood might be a bit safer. That's not a bad thought. But for tonight, lets put that on hold. Myself, I think we've kept you long enough. Its getting late, and you need your rest. I think we all need to let you and Abbey have some quiet time before you sleep." He motioned everyone out.

Katherine kissed Khaat and Abbey and said, "He's right, Dear. And I'm sure your father will stop by whenever he finishes. You should rest until them. I'll stop back. I promise."

Katherine left the room, heading for the kitchen for a warmup on her tea.

steven moved out the room and down to the living room , he moved out onto the porch it was a warm night now slightly cooled by a gentel brezze threw the trees and around the house. He smiled rembering how he ahd jant use to sit on there porch on nights like this and watched how the candel light danced with the fire flies.

Sitting down steven warmed his tea and sipped it absent minded ly as he thought more about the good times he and janet hd had.

Everyone left Khaat alone, and she spent some time with Abbey before settling her into the bassinet beside her bed. Khaat began to relax and soon fell asleep. She began to dream about Rob. About her anger with him now and how he had ruined her life, broken her heart, left her abandoned, left lists of unfilled empty promises...

Brian felt a surge of energy coming from Khaat's room. He left the living room and went right back upstairs to her room. There was a whale of a weatherstorm brewing again in her room. He picked up Abbey and moved her out into the nursery to get her out of the weather.

When he came back, he found Robert standing in the room, looking around at the wind that was blowing things around inside the room, and watching ice form on the inside of the windows and everything else. He hadn't made a move yet to stop it yet. He just stood, analyzing, listening, and watching.

steven fewlkt a burst ar cold run threw him and headed up stairs back to Khaats room "nightmares again?" he asked softly as he moved to stand with Brain "Robert should be able to calm her down" he said folding his arms over his chest as he felt goose bumps form as he felt the air in the room chill . he watched Khaat and frowned , if this was going to hapend everytime she fell asleep Brian would need tw people to stay just incase "I'd sugest two people stay all the time so one can look after Khaat, I know emmys here for abby but shes not going to be able to calm her down all the time, I know you could, but then whos going to watch for reporters" he said softly as he watched Robert.
