James could sense the weakness in his wife's spirit. He slipped his arms under her and lifted her as if she were a doll. "We will be back in a moment." He nodded at Houston and Mira who sat on either side of Adana who had slipped into the floor moments earlier. He carried Zoe outside, he knelt down and sat her gently in a chair on the front porch. "Zo, sweetheart, are you ok?" |

"My head is swimming," she said softly. "You think all this talk is confusing to you, try feeling it outright. It's like a ton of bricks have been dropped on my brain. I was definitely not prepared for anything like this." |

James leaned in and kissed her, "I know my sensitivity level isn't as high as yours but since we met mine has grown by the day. Just take some deep breaths remember, some of the faces may be new, but this is family. We've been through a lot with them." He kissed her and grinned, "Honestly, the last time you got this overwhelmed was when you were first pregnant with Adana." |

"You may thank the Betazoid blood for that," she retorted. "This is different than that though. It's really hard to explain, feeling two people when they are the same and different at the same time." |

"Believe me even without the Betazoid blood it was scary. Remember I wound up in Kinseys's nightmare. I saw Keira as a baby. Helped rescue her and nearly killed her father. To see her walk in full grown was beyond what I can explain." James leaned in and kissed her gently, "Do you think you can somewhat tune it out, or down at least?" |

"I think so, now that I know what we're dealing with in full..." she replied. "Just give me a minute." She closed her eyes and slowed her breathing, focusing her will and her thoughts. |

Jack turned to Kinsey and whispered. "I'll bet you a week of doing laundry that Zoe's pregnant." |

James rested a hand on his wife's knee, doing his best to focus and diffuse as much of his own calm and serenity as he could through the bond which unites them so deeply. At Jack's statement Houston's ears perked and turned slightly. The People might not directly understand Two Leg speech, but Houston knew this word meant Two Legs would have young. And he didn't think his Two Leg's mate was with young. But he didn't know. Edited by James Webster, Oct 30 2013, 04:02 PM.

Kinsey considered it a long moment before a grin crept across her features. "You're on," Kinsey replied. "And you say we act like kids," Mac teased. |

After a few minutes of meditation, Zoe opened her eyes. "Let's return, my love. I'm not sure if I am sensing Houston or Mira, but one of the 'cats seems to be confused about something." |

James took her and and helped her up. He put a hand around her waist, despite the seemingly light touch, her steps seemed almost weightless. They stepped back inside to see Houston eyeing Kinsey and Jack curiously. |

"Something has piqued the 'cat's interest," Zoe murmured. |

James led her back to her seat, where Adana promptly ran up to cuddle against her mother's leg. "Mommy, Aunt Kinsey and Uncle Jack were talking about you being pregnant, what's that mean?" James who had just gotten back in his seat and taken a sip of homebrew nearly spat it all over Jason. No wonder Houston looked so intrigued. |

"I will tell you later, sweetie," Zoe said softly to the child. "Now, why don't you and Houston go find Mira for me?" As the girl scampered off with the 'cat, Zoe looked at the gathered crowd. "Care to explain why my daughter would ask me that here?" |

James sat quietly, poking at his food with his head down. His face was scarlet from the effort of containing his laughter. He knew Zoe could sense it, but he wasn't going to make it public. Seeing Jack and Kinsey explaining this one was going to be rather hilarious. He finally looked up and cleared his throat. "I'd be interested in that one myself," he cocked his head slightly awaiting the answer. |
