Escape to Brian Quinn's

"Well, at least you did some basic field repairs on it, Sit, and I'll fix it," he said. "And I'm not unhappy that you changed them into animals. They deserve a taste of their own medicine. And as far as being out of practice goes, dont' worry about that. It will come. It won't take long to get back into shape when you hang around the Lupins enough. They're always into something."

steven limped to a chair and sat down "your right those 6 months out of it sure takes it tol" he said as he once more pulled up his trouser leg "ow they had a male wolf who said the female who was hurt was his mate ,hes gone to her at my farm " he thought for a moment "wonder what he ment when he said not till she was with cub " he said wondering he winced as he managed to pull off his shoes and socks, the sock now distroyed by having three holes in it " my favorate pair of socks too" he sighed and repairoed them but hs shie was stained with his blood "I'll fix that when i get home ttomorrow , just beacuse one set of pochers was delt with doesn't men there won't be a second lot" he said .

"True, but probably not tonight," Brian said. "That would be unlikely. They normally only run in small batches. I've never seen them around here in bunches of more than 3 or 4. No, I think we've seen the last of it for tonight. " He healed Steven's wound. "Well, if you're alright, I think I might go and try to get a couple hours of sleep. I'm starting to feel a lot like Robert."

steven nodded "go I'll keep watch for tonight " he said moving back to the porch now feeling his ankle beter " "ow thanks for the repair" he said and moved back to his chir as he listened to she sounds of the night around him, he retsed his ankle up on teh rail his eyes looking out around the grounds.

Brian went upstairs to his room, unable to stop himself from looking in on Khaat and Abbey. They were sleeping peacefully--both of them. Robert's potion had seemed to ease Khaat's mind enough that she could rest, and he was grateful for that. He was still reluctant to go to sleep, but he knew that was excessive fatigue talking now. He forced himself to go to his room and to go to bed. It didn't take more than a moment to go to sleep, despite his anxiety.

Steve had been awake all night apart from as spat between to moles nothing eventfull had happend he walked back in and downed his tenth coffee, but what he looked forard to was his bed , he knew once the sun was up Brian would be awake freeing him to return home to sleep. he could not help but give a yawn it ahd been moths since he had donre any all night recons and now it hit him so much he strugled to stay awake.

Standing in teh kitchen he looked around wondering what he ahd come in for , then he saw the empty cup in his hand and he headed for the coffee maker, but as he stood he for a moment stopped "god I feel bushed " he said rubbing his eyes as he filied his cup only to get half acup as he had emptied he beacker.

Brian got up, refreshed himself and found fresh clothes. He checked on Abbey who was just waking up. He changed her and picked her up. He looked in on Khaat and found her still asleep. It was just sunrise. He came downstairs and set a spell in motion to have a bottle fix itself.

"Go home, Steven," Brian said. "You're dead on your feet. I'll handle things from here. Thanks. I really needed a good nights sleep. It had been awhile." He picked up the prepared bottle and began to feed Abbey. "She's an early riser. Khaat will eventually have to get adjusted to that. I think she will when she's more rested. But for now, Abbey and I have a bit of time to greet the sun, usually by ourselves."

steven found himself jumoing at teh sound of Brians voice , it was so unlike him. "Huh yeah I feel it " he said and placed the half full cup in the sink, leaning on it he walked to the porch smiling at abby as he passed them. "you know where i'll be if you need me" he said looking at Brian "And you little one don't give him too much trouble " he said tickling her tummy to make her laugh. With a grow he moved out teh door and onto the lawn where he aperated home.

Aricing in the porch of his own home he pushed open the door, he glanced to his left and smiled to see the female and male now together sat on a cushion that had fallen off his swing seat. with a nodd he headed inside and to his bed room. Taking off his clothes he let then lay where they felll and slipped under the covers of his bed where he fell into a deep sleep dreaming of all teh animals he had helped and of janet and how she would see him, he saw her standing smiling aprovingly at him. He gave a deep sigh and was soon asleep.

Brian had just put Abbey on his shoulder when he heard a loud sound from Khaat's room. He apparated upstairs and found her on the floor.

"Khaat! What did you do?" he flew to put Abbey in her bassinet and then raced back to Khaat.

"I need to be able to be up," she said quietly, trying to hide her frustration.

"Babe," he knelt beside her on the floor," You're not ready. It's better. Its a lot better, but you're just not ready. Its going to take time. Khaat, you've been so ill--you really to have to be patient. Well, come on. You can't stay on the floor." He picked her up easily and put her back into bed. She groaned, frustrated. "Look. We'll get you up later after breakfast. I promise.' She laid back, disappointed. "Khaat," he said, "Look at me. I promise."

And he did. He got her up several times for short intervals and helped her to a chair. She was gaining strength slowly--just not as quickly as she wanted.

He made sure that Sparks sent breakfast and lunch for both of them, and Khaat ate fairly well. He was pleased. She was making progress. When she was awake she spent her time with Abbey. Mid afternoon, he managed to help her the short distance across the hall to the doorway of Abbey's nursery. It was perfect. He's remembered exactly where she had had everything and how she had arranged it. It was wonderful. Even if she did have to hang on to him to stand. The short distance had exhausted her. He took her back to her room and back to bed, just as Abbey let out an angry squall. "Mine," Brian laughed. "You rest, Khaat. I've got it."

Emmanuelle heard a noise from Khaat's room and snapped out of whatever she was having and apperated beside Brian in Khaat's room. Checking to see if she was ok she seen that she was and sighed in relief.

Emmanuelle stood beside Brian as he put her back into bed. "Is there anything you want me to do Brian?"Emmanuelle asked him quietly. "I'm sorry that I haven't been helping out, for some weird reason I been out of it lately."said Emmanuelle honestly. "I don't know if it's because I just gotten my memory back yesterday and I'm still adjusting or what it is."said Emmanuelle softly. "But whatever you want me to do I will do it, it's the lease I can do."said Emmanuelle softly.

((Sorry, I been kind of busy with exams and studying!))
