The Parlor (1)

*smiles at Daniella*
Oh my.
I'm proud of you.
*kisses top of head*
Sure. I'll open them.

*hesitates*

*sighs in defeat*
Scorpius is missing.

He left five or so days ago for a mission, and he hasn't returned.
It's never taken him this long...

He's fine.
and at the moment.
I don't care.
I will not care.
I will not believe he is hurt.
*sighs*
Now.
Daniella. Presents?

*thinks*
Sure.
They just got back.
Go ahead and dampen the mood.


*grabs armful of presents*
*hands to Jumpy*

*Thinks to herself*
he's fine*

Oh I wonder what these are!
*Picks one up*
From Daniella.
Oh . How nice.
Is it safe to open in front of others?

*giggles*
Yours are.
Angelo may want to open his elsewhere..
But I'd find it more amusing if he opened them here.

*smiles and goes to curl up in a chair by the fire*

*silently observes her somewhat put back together family*

*eyes widen*
Should I run while I can?
*raises an eyebrow*

Angelo, do it then.
*smiles*
*Hands gift*
*opens the large box eagerly*
*see's hot pink and black lingerie.*
*Face goes bright pink*
Umm. Thank you.
*opens the much smaller box*
*sighs*
Oh its beautiful!
*smiles*
*shows Angelo a crystal on a sliver change. And then a much smaller one.*
Its one for the mum, and one for the baby.
Its perfect!
*hugs Daniella!*

*opens reluctantly*
*glances at Daniella and back at gift*
*pulls out bottle of pills*
Why would I need VIAGRA?

*laughs*
Aww.
You're welcome, Jumpy!
*sees Angelo's confused and slightly embarrassed expression*
I was hoping you'd open that one first.
I got everyone a completely stupid and impractical gift just to see their reactions.
*snigger*

*laughs so hard she falls out of her chair*
That was great Daniella!

*giggles despite herself*

*thinks* Jumpy's right. He's fine.
I'm just wayyy too worried.
I need to stop that...

Stupid nightmares are making me paranoid..

*yawn*
Sorry guys.
I'm really tired, but I'm glad you're home.
*hugs Jumpy and heads up*

(K: Gots to go! )

 Oh.
*opens the other gift Jumpy handed him*
*eyes widen in surprise*
It's very beautiful.
Thank you.
*shows Jumpy painting of herself, hand on her stomach, a small bump clearly visible*
I want to hang this in our room.
I think I'll stay up there.
It's been a long day.
*to Jumpy*
Follow when you can.
*kisses*

*kisses*
I'll be there soon love.
I want to talk to Rizzo.
Goodnight my Angel.
*watches him leave*
*sighs*

*To Rizzo*
I hurt him so badly.

Yeah, he was pretty worried about you.

He yelled at me... I was actually quite scared.
*sighs*
But I knew it was because of you... He loves you so much.

*sighs*
I only wish I could never hurt him again.
*sighs*
He told me.
I'm sorry about that bit.

*shakes head*
Don't worry about it!

But you really are ok?

I'm not sure Rizzo.
I'm not sure.
*sighs*
I left something in the Belfast Clock tower.
If anything ever happens to me again.
Go get it. Its only a piece of paper.
But its very important.

*is confused but nods*
Alright, I'll remember that.

I'm just glad you're home.
I've missed you.

I was a wreck after you left.
Daniella actually yelled at me... that's how I snapped out of it.

I blame the hormones though... *silently giggles*

*sighs*
I'm going to go up to bed.
Night Jumpy!! *smiles, then goes up the stairs*

*stands up and makes her way to the cupboard to grab a blanket*

*makes her way outside*

*walks into the house carrying Jackie*

Guys!!
I need some help!!!


.. Jackies hurt!!!

*gently lay's jackie onto the couch*

*hears Crash*
*comes downstairs*
Oh, no!!

*goes over*
What happened??
*checks over and sees cut on wrist*

Crash, I need wet washclothes and dry towles, and get a bowl of ice, also!!
Please hurry!!

*runs in*

Here!

*hands Rizzo the bowl of ice*

*runs off, tripping on something but not completely falling*
