~Sunday, March 22, 1936~


BM: ::the doctor insisted that she stay there overnight, which she didn't really like, but she slept through the night anyway, most likely still exhausted from the spell cast on her. She wakes early in the morning though, and instantly looks around for Ben and Toby::

TY:  ::had fallen asleep in a chair he dragged over to Becky's bedside::

:  ::Ben is swaddled in a small elevated hospital crib, near Becky's bedside; the boy cried almost half the night::

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::tries to get out of bed quietly, so she doesn't wake Toby::

Julie 

TY:  ::is so tired from trying to comfort Ben half the night, he stays asleep::

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::stands by the crib, looking down at Ben; not saying anything in case he wakes up; is still feeling rather awed by the fact that they're both alive and healthy::

Julie 

BN:  ::stirs just slightly, as if he's having a bad dream::

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::reaches down to touch his cheek::

Julie 

BN:  :opens his eyes, almost starting a cry, but he relaxes when he seems to recognize his mother; Becky can already might make out a tiny fleck of red in his deep blue eyes::

Quantum Catz 

BM: :icks him up; softly:: Huh, Dominick and I are hardly related now except for our powers and you still get his eyes

Julie 

:  ::the baby just looks up at Becky mutely::

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::looks around the room, rather wishing that she could leave, but instead sits back down on the bed with Ben::

Julie 

TY:  ::finally wakes, yawning::  Hey...

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::smiles:: Hey

Julie 

TY:  ::yawns again; quietly::  What do you say I see if I can take you home?

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::looks grateful:: Anywhere but here would be great

Julie 

TY:  ::nods, quickly walking off to do so, and after a few minutes of cajoling, Becky and Toby are on their way home with their new bundle of...well, fussiness::

Quantum Catz 

BM: We should go see Maeve and Isaac

Julie 

TY:  ::nods, frowning::  Can't imagine they'll be too pleased to see me.

Quantum Catz 

BM: I'm sure they'll be fine once you apologize

Julie 

TY:  Hope so...you didn't want to stop at home first?

Quantum Catz 

BM: I'm sure Maeve's seen me looking worse and Isaac expected to see me dead, so I can get cleaned up later. Besides, Peanut's being reasonably well behaved just now

Julie 

TY:  ::laughs softly::  I wouldn't count on that to last.

:  ::but he heads over to Maeve and Isaac's house anyway::

Quantum Catz 

BM: You'll behave for a wee while, won't you, Peanut? ::taps his nose lightly with her finger::

Julie 

BN:  ::goes cross-eyed trying to look at Becky's finger, then his nose::

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::chuckles::

Julie 

TY:  ::smiles a little, but he's more nervous than anything; knocks on Isaac's door::

Quantum Catz 

EK: ::answers the door and mutters, on seeing Toby:: You've got nerve

TY:  ::narrows his eyes at Eli::  I'm here to apologize.

Quantum Catz 

EK: Doubt an apology would work if Isaac had done the same to Becky, not that he would

Julie 

TY:  ::frowns::  Someday you'll have a kid, you know.

Quantum Catz 

EK: ::snarls:: Anything could've happened to Maeve out there

Julie 

TY:  And she has fire!  Becky couldn't even teleport herself!

MV: ::she is in the living room, resting in what is becoming "her chair". She frowns at the noise and tries to lean over as far as she can to see what's going on; tiredly:: Eli? Whose there?

Quantum Catz 

EK: ::took a step towards Toby, looking more annoyed,but stops and turns away, leaving the door open for them:: It's the guy who abandoned you in the forest

Julie 

TY:  ::cringes::  Maeve...

Maeve 

MV: ::she almost laughs at Eli's comment; worriedly:: Is Becky okay?

Julie 

TY:  ::manages a tiny smile::  Ask her yourself.  :puts his hand on Becky's back and heads towards the living room::

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::smiles at Maeve:: Hey

Maeve 

MV: ::her eyes widen, and she starts to struggle to get up:: Oh, hello. You brought the baby by? ::she takes a deep breath, urging her tired body to get up. She holds on to the chair a moment before she slowly approaches them:: Awe, he's adorable Becky. ::she smiles::

Julie 

TY:  ::almost reaches out to help Maeve, but realizes it may not be welcome; quietly::  Thanks to you and Isaac.  Well, not the adorable part...just the healthy part.

Maeve 

MV: ::smirks:: I didn't do anything but get lost in the woods. Save your thanks for Isaac.

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::Smiles:: I brought Toby by to make amends, i hear he wasn't exactly the nicest guy while i was unconscious

Julie 

TY:  ::looks down::  You came with me at a moment's notice, Maeve...you risked everything for Becky and Ben...and I just left you.  Didn't even tell Isaac.  And I'm sorry.  ::glances up at Maeve guiltily::  You deserved better.

Maeve 

MV: ::she looks up, a little surprised.:: It's fine Toby. ::she looks away and starts to make her way back over to the chair; quietly:: Sorry guys, I have to sit down again. ::she makes a face, hating how tired she is::

Quantum Catz 

BM: Hey, it'll be over soon. Then you'll just have to put up with the crying - won't she Ben?

Julie 

BN:  ::is still behaving well, half-asleep::

Maeve 

MV: ::she smirks:: You need to work on you "encouragement" skills.

Julie 

TY:  ::laughs softly::  Well, we'll be around to babysit.

Maeve 

MV: Careful, I might take advantage of that offer

Julie 

TY:  ::smirks::  Or you can just pawn the kid off on Eli.

Quantum Catz 

IS: ::comes down the stairs just then, grinning when he sees Becky:: You look a lot better than the last time i saw you awake

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::smiles:: All healthy now as far as i can tell

Julie 

TY:  ::bows his head deeply::  Isaac, I'm sorry.  I owe you more than I can repay, just for what you did for Becky...and I only repayed you with evil.

Maeve 

MV: ::is still getting a kick out of pawning the kid off on Eli but she sobers up when Toby apologizes for the second time. She glances up at Isaac and then back at Toby.::

Quantum Catz 

IS: You were worried, I can understand that. I was worried about her too

Julie 

TY:  ::quietly::  Still...if there's anything I can do for you or Maeve...

Quantum Catz 

EK: ::mutters:: Not dragging Maeve out into the forest and leaving her there again would be a start

Maeve 

MV: ::she closes her eyes; tiredly:: It's all right Toby. We know you're a little single minded when it comes to Becky anyway. And I'm alive. It's fine. ::she yawns::

Julie 

TY:  ::cringes at Eli's words, but doesn't answer, glancing at Isaac::

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::sighs, to Isaac:: I shouldn't have made you keep everything secret. It seemed like the right thing to do. ::smiles a bit:: But we're naming him Ben

IS: ::hesitates for a moment and then smiles:: You don't have to do that

Julie 

TY:  It's a nice name, though.  ::smiles::

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::smirks:: And you're too late anyway, cos we've already told him that's what he's called. Wouldn't want to confuse the poor kid

Maeve 

MV: ::she smiles:: I think it's sweet.

Julie 

BN:  :opens his eyes and lets out a little cry::

Quantum Catz 

IS: ::laughs:: I guess he knows we're talking about him

Julie 

TY:  ::smiles proudly::  I hope he doesn't give his parents as much trouble as his daddy did.

Maeve 

MV: ::she starts to laugh but stops, suddenly looking very pale.::

Julie 

TY:  ::frowns, glancing over at Maeve::

Quantum Catz 

IS: ::moves towards Maeve:: Are you okay?

Maeve 

MV: ::she nods; absently:: I just feel a little... faint. It'll pass.

Quantum Catz 

IS: Want some water? Food?

Julie 

TY:  Hot water bottle?  ::almost instantly makes one::

Maeve 

MV: ::starts to slowly shake her head no but stops when the room continues to spin. She looks up at Toby, frowning:: Hot water?

Julie 

TY:  Or an ice pack; neither's very hard.

Maeve 

MV: ::smiles weakly:: My head hasn't been bashed in...

Julie 

TY:  Well, if you need smelling salts, Josh is better at that than I am.  ::smiles slightly::

Maeve 

MV: ::she leans back, and tries closing her eyes. She winces:: I think they only use smelling salts if you're completely out.

Quantum Catz 

BM: How bout chocolate to cheer you up? Not that i'd recommend letting Toby make that for you

Julie 

TY:  ::laughs::  No, but I'd be happy to go buy some.

Maeve 

MV: ::she opens one eye to look at him; quietly:: Don't tempt me.

Julie 

TY:  ::grins::  I'll leave...::glances at Isaac::  Unless it doesn't agree with her anymore.

Quantum Catz 

IS: Even if it didn't she'd still try to eat it, i'm sure

Maeve 

MV: ::she relaxes against the chair again; softly:: Chocolate is always good.

Julie 

TY:  ::smiles::  Well, then.  ::looks at Becky::  You want anything?

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::shakes her head, going to sit down:: I'm good

Julie 

TY:  Be back in a few then.  ::smiles and heads out::

Maeve 

MV: ::she weakly lifts a hand up to her pounding head, murmuring something, and then just seems to go to sleep::

Julie 

BN:  :opens his eyes and starts crying, this time in earnest::

Quantum Catz 

BM: Hey, shhh. Didn't we talk about being quiet for a while?

Julie 

BN:  ::still wails::

Maeve 

MV: ::doesn't even flinch::

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::looks at Isaac:: Sorry, I'll take him out of here for a bit so he doesn't wake Maeve

IS: Thanks, she could probably do with the sleep while she gets it

Maeve 

MV: ::she still looks pale, but continues to sleep right through the noise which is rather unusual for Maeve to begin with::

Quantum Catz 

IS: ::leans down to stroke back Maeve's hair as Becky goes to settle the baby::

Julie 

BN:  ::keeps crying and protesting until Becky gets the idea to feed him::

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::figures Ben's probably hungry, so feeds him once she's got him away from Maeve::

Julie 

BN:  ::instantly calms down::

Maeve 

MV: ::she feels a little cold and doesn't stir right away. When she does, she groans slightly, grimacing::

Quantum Catz 

IS: ::softly:: Maeve, you sure you're okay?

Maeve 

MV: ::murmurs:: I just feel... so awful... ::she blinks rapidly, trying to get rid of the fuzzy feeling in her head::

Quantum Catz 

IS: You feel a bit cold ::tries his powers on her, in case she's caught something::

Maeve 

MV: ::she doesn't look as pale anymore but she still looks awfully tired; quietly:: Thanks, my head at least cleared up.

Quantum Catz 

IS: ::smiles:: Always glad to help

Maeve 

MV: ::notices that the others are gone, frowns:: Where'd everyone go?

Quantum Catz 

IS: The baby...Ben...was crying pretty loudly, Becky went to quiet him down so he didn't wake you

Maeve 

MV: ::she frowns:: I was asleep?

Quantum Catz 

IS: Yeah, not for long though

Maeve 

MV: ::she smiles slightly at him, and then yawns again::

Quantum Catz 

BM: ::comes back in with Ben:: He certainly likes people to know when he isn't happy. He didn't wake you, did he?

Julie 

BN:  ::is fast asleep again::

Maeve 

MV: ::she shakes her head, slowly:: No. I didn't even hear him.

Quantum Catz 

BM: Must have been a deep sleep then

Maeve 

MV: ::frowns:: I guess so....»

TY:  ::comes back in the front door without knocking, carrying a rather tall chocolate cake::

Quantum Catz 

BM: Can't offer much advice with that part, i slept through the whole thing

MV: ::smiles weakly at Becky but she comes a little more alert when she spots Toby:: Wow, while I appreciate it,  you didn't need to get a whole cake.

Julie 

TY:  ::laughs::  Well, I wanted some, and I didn't know about Becky.

Maeve 

MV: :pouts; teasingly:: You mean I have to share?

Julie 

TY:  ::grins::  Well, if you want it all, it's yours.

Maeve 

MV: ::smiles slightly:: That's okay. I'd likely make myself sick.

Quantum Catz 

IS: ::laughs:: You can always have the biggest piece though

Maeve 

MV: I'll settle for that.
