| Keith paused in his cooking as Alayna spoke. He grinned and nodded, "I'd love to travel a bit, I've been lots of places but I feel like I haven't really seen them" He said with a nodded. "If you'd like to go somewhere I'd very much like to accompany you" He finished the food and placed a plate down in front of Alayna. They had moved into the living room to watch the movie and eat. While they had a TV in their bedroom, Keith was very tired of lying in bed and had no desire to be back in the bedroom just yet.
He sipped his juice, having opted out of the tea, not really being much of a tea drinker. "So what's this movie about?" He asked as Alayna hit play.
----
Serena smiled at her parents and waved slightly as they left. "Hm? You didn't freak me out Nick" She said softly turning slightly to look at her twin. "Worried me a bit because I didn't sense you, but you definitely didn't scare me or freak me out. You never could" She added as she snuggled closer to him. Nick never could scare her, she knew he'd never hurt her or vice versa she would never hurt him so nothing he did scared her.
"Sorry I'm runing our vacation though, I know we had plans for today and tonight" She added with a sigh. She hoped she felt a bit better by the time there parents returned maybe then she could at the very least was go lay on the beach, that was still relaxing but at least it was outside.
Alexi hopped into the SUV and grinned slightly at his wife. "You wanna call Sven? See if theres anything we can pick up for her in town, for pain maybe?" He asked. He regretted everything they had done in the last few days. Serena had been doing so well that it had sort of fallen to the back of his mind that she was so ill. Her pain today had kicked him in the ass and he knew the rest of the vacation had to be a lot more relaxed.

| Alayna grinned to herself as Keith agreed to traveling about Europe. Maybe she could pull something together...not too quickly...they had time. Alayna was still smiling as she took her plate of food from her master chef of an angel, chuckling at the thought and leading the way to the living room. She put the movie to play, making sure the stereo wasn't too loud to wake everyone, and then settled down into the sofa with Keith.
She took a bit from her wrap with a moan of delight; Keith's food never failed to impress and damn did she miss it. As Keith questioned her about the movie, Alayna could only chuckle and shrug. She swallowed down her second bite with a swish of her tea. "Just wait and see." Alayna said. "Wouldn't want to spoil it for you, it was a pretty good film." Alayna added as the opening credits ended and the movie began.
----------
Nick laughed but it was dry and tight. "That makes one of us..." he swallowed roughly, pressing his forehead against Serena. How could that not have freaked her out? Nick almost fought against his father...he almost...he'd thought about tearing their mother apart he...
Nick stopped the thoughts roughly, feeling sick to his stomach. How could she still be so calm? Had she not felt it? Maybe not...but Maria had seen it...their Mother had known Nick nearly lost it. She'd yelled for Alexi...she only did that whenever there was something she couldn't handle alone... "You're not ruining the vacation." Nick said strongly. "You're sick Serena it's not your fault. That's why we're here anyway. You were good yesterday and the day before, but Sven said you'd have good days and bad days." Nick murmured. His hands trailed over her arms and his thumb stroked over her palm. "One bad day doesn't ruin a vacation." He added, picking his head up to smile at her.
Maria was watching the villa even as they pulled away in the truck. She rubbed her hands together, and only returned Alexi's smile slightly. Taking Alexi's phone, Maria inhaled deeply as she dialed the number. "That trunk they found yesterday is still back here right? We should send that out to them too while we're in town..." Maria added, glancing over her shoulder into the back seat while she waited for the phone to connect.
Hearing the click of voicemail, Maria frowned. Thinking to herself, Maria blew out a huff; time zones. "Hey Sven, its Maria." She said. "Serena had a lapse today, she was in a lot of pain and the sterile blood only seemed to help a bit. We've got her resting now but...it seemed a lot worse than before...Nick was even affected by it." She added, flecking her fingers against the phone. "Anyway, call us when you get this. Thanks. Ciao." Maria sighed as she hung up and shrugged as she gave Alexi back his phone. "He must have had a long day..." | |

| Keith chuckled and settled down next to Alayna. He wasn't sure he'd understand the movie but he was sure enjoying his time with her. Sipping his drink he settled back on the couch before he began to nibble on his own food. "So much better then rations" He murmured, yes angels lived forever, they basically just sprung into existence and stayed around until they were killed by demons or other evils, but they still ate and still enjoyed food. However war rations were awful and that was what Keith had been surviving on for the last few years.
As the movie credits began to roll Keith rubbed a hand over his face. "What the hell just happened?" He asked, the movie had been good Alayna hadn't been joking but he was overly confused.
----
Serena could tell Nick was still filled with doubt over what had happened, but she was telling the truth. She knew he had almost fought Alexi, almost attacked their mother but she still wasn't scared of Nick.
"I hate being sick" She muttered, dropping the previous topic. She would bring it up another time when she could whack Nick over the head or something. Shaking her head she let herself rest tiredly against her twin. Her eyes glazed slightly and her breathing hitched as pain flared in her stomach again before once again subsiding slightly. Balling her hands into fists for a moment she forced herself to relax and focus on the movie Maria had set up for them.
Alexi glanced at the trunk and nodded, "We'll ship it once we get to town" Like Maria he was surprised when Sven didn't answer the phone. "He'll get back to us as soon as her can. I'd like to know if there's anything besides the blood that we can give Serena though, if the pain continues" He sighed as he pulled into the parking lot of a quaint looking post office.
"I'll deal with this, there's a market just over there if you want to poke around. Maybe Sven'll call back" He said as he hauled the trunk out of the back seat. | |

| "I bet." Alayna chuckled as Keith also enjoyed his food. She didn't press him about the war though; honestly, she didn't really want to know any of the details. She was more than happy with the results; the earth was still here, Keith was back home. That was enough for her. She finished eating and settled against Keith comfortably. She let her head rest against his shoudler as the movie played on, and as the credits began, Alayna glanced up at Keith, gauging his reaction.
She laughed. "That's for you to decide." Alayna reasoned, taking their plates into the kitchen to rinse them off, purposelly letting Keith with his thoughts. After she had watched Inception the first time, Alayna had thought about it for a while, she'd even watched it a second time before coming to an idea of what the ending could possibly mean. That was probably the reason she loved the movie so much; the ending could be whatever you believed in.
----------------
"Drink up.." Nick sighed as Serena complained about being sick. He held the cup for her so that she could finish off the glass of blood that Maria had poured her. "You know it'll help..." Nick added.
As Serena grew tense in his arms, Nick continued to rub his hand over her arm soothingly. "Shh, relax...they always say that tensing up will make the pain worse..." He added when her hand balled into a fist.
"Yea..." Maria sighed gently as she stepped out of the trunk. She kept Alexi's phone, just in case the good doctor did call back. As Alexi walked into the post office to mail out that massive trunk of a treasure, Maria wandered off towards the market. She wasn't exactly sure what else they needed, so for a while, Maria simply wandered from store to store. She bought a few trinkets, suveniors mostly for Zach and Maddie.
Bag in hand, Maria left one store, holding her hand up against the sun as she walked back onto the street. Damn the sun was boiling today without a cloud in sight. Maria tried not to wince at the heat against her skin, and she quickly found a small cafe to sit at under the shade of an awning. The last time Maria could remember being this hot was that summer just before she was turned. It had been an intensely warm summer...
"Cafe Senora?" Maria turned with a soft gasp, frowning at the man who'd managed to sneak up on her. "Si, gracias." Maria responded, watching the man walk off. Maria could have sworn....her fingers pressed against her bracelet and she sighed silently. No, it was just her mind playing tricks on her again. | |

| Keith chuckled and went about tidying up the kitchen while he mulled over the movie. Once he finished he headed back into Alayna and his bedroom, it was late (or early) depending on how you looked at it. "I may have to watch that movie again" He told Alayna as he flopped onto the bed, on his stomach of course. He was tempted to try and pull his wings in to see how it felt but he was still a bit unsure if that was a good idea.
Mentally steeling himself Keith began the ardous process of pulling his wings in. It didn't look ardous just one quick motion and suddenly the wings were gone, but for Keith it was a total pain in the ass. Sucking in a breath he waited for the anticipated pain. His back twinged slightly but overall it didn't hurt as much as he had expected.
----
Serena let Nick fuss over her for a moment as the pain eased. "Gah" She grumbled though she forced herself to relax. Shaking her head she sat up a bit and rubbed a tired hand over her face. "Shouldn't you be meeting with girls on the beach or something?" She asked her twin curiously. She knew Nick was becoming fairly popular at the resort just up the path and she definitely did not want to cramp her twin's style. She also knew she would be fine if Nick didn't want to spend the entire day babysitting her. She could just curl up in bed and hopefully sleep the painful day away, thankfully she could still sleep, unlike her parents.
Alexi bounced out of the post office and located Maria sitting in a small cafe not far away. "Hey" He greeted as he fell into the chair opposite her. "You okay?' He asked his grin fading slightly as he saw her expression. Just as he was about to press her for more information his cell phone rang rather obnoxiously and he dug it hastly from his pocket. "Sven" He greeted before falling into Russian to fill his brother in on what had happened. | |

| "Oh I've seen it four or five times now and it still amazes me," Alayna chuckled at the thought, helping Keith with tidying up the kitchen and their plates. Once the kitchen was squared away, Alayna yawned, stretching as she walked back into the room. She slipped out of her skirt, leaving only her tank top on as she climbed onto the bed and slipped under the covers.
She sighed in content as Keith fell onto the bed beside her, and she turned over to duck under his wings. Her fingers brushed through them softly and the next thing she knew they were gone. Gasping softly, Alayna sat up against the pillows. "You can pull them back?" There was concern on her face although she was smiling lightly. "They've healed enough that it doesn't hurt?"
--------------------
Nick couldn't help but laugh at his sister. "No," He said with a shake of his head. "Sandra mentioned getting dinner later tonight if she was feeling better, but I didn't make any other plans." He explained. And honestly at the moment, he knew even if he tried to go out, he wouldn't have that great of a time; he'd be worried about Serena. And after the pain he had felt this morning when walking the human girl back to her villa....Nick swallowed and shook his head gently. "Besides, it's supposed to rain today." Nick said with a shrug.
Maria was still spinning the bracelet on her wrist when Alexi found her. She knew she was staring off into space and when she blinked back to reality, her smile was brittle. "I'm fine." Maria answered tightly. When Alexi's phone rang, Maria sighed in relief and settled back into her chair. The barrister came over with her coffee, and Maria tried not to frown; this lady wasn't her original server....Maria had hoped he would come back just so she could get a better view of his face, just to bury the hope bubbling in her chest.
"Anything else I can get you?" The lady asked in thick English. Maria sighed gently, glancing over her shoulder into the cafe. She couldn't see any other servers, let alone the man... "No, thank you." Maria said, spinning the spoon in her coffee as Alexi continued to talk into the phone. | |

| Keith glanced at Alayna and grinned, "It seems I can" He said with a grin. "It twinges a bit but no where near as bad as before. I can put them away for a bit each day which will be nice" He added with a sigh as he rolled over onto his back and stretched. It felt pretty good to have his wings out of the way, even if it was just for a moment and he luxeriated in the feeling. Normally, back in heaven, he walked around with his wings out, all angels did but having been on earth for so long Keith had become used to having them hidden.
----
"If you guys want to go on a date go ahead" Serena teased playfully. "You two seemed to get a long pretty well last night at least from what I saw" She added waggling her eyebrow with a grin though she still felt awful. She highly doubted Nick would go anywhere but she could try, besides she liked giving him a hard time. Shifting slightly she ran her fingers through her hair, grimacing as she felt salt in it from the night before. "I need a shower" She grumbled though she knew there was no way in hell she was making it up the stairs to shower, at least not right at that moment.
Alexi sighed as he hung up the phone and glanced at his wife. "You sure everything is okay?" He asked curiously, his wife still seemed out of sorts though he had no idea why. "Sven said we can try to keep Serena on the clean blood, really strictly and maybe see if we can find some human medication for stomach ulcers and give her that with some blood. She needs at least two glasses of blood a day though" Alexi said with a sigh. "As long as she sticks to the clean blood and maybe the meds she should be okay. He says if the pain lasts more then a day then to call him and he'll fly out with Chris" He added as he slid his phone back into his pocket. | |

| Alayna nodded slowly as she watched Keith move about on the bed. "Good, don't strain yourself though," Alayna encouraged. "And you'll have to pull them out again in the morning for the balm." she reminded him. She rolled onto her side, letting her hands trail over his skin softly. She smiled lightly at Keith as her fingers traced from his arms to his chest slowly. "I missed you..." the words fell out of Alayna's mouth before she could stop them. But they were nothing more than a whisper, and there was a untold weight in her voice. Her fingers stopped and Alayna let her hand spread across his chest, resting over the steady heart beat. Alayna tried to smile as she looked up at the Angel.
-------------
Nick rolled his eyes gently at his sister. "Please don't try to play match-maker again Sis..." Nick murmured. "She was sweet but..." Nick trailed off, shaking his head at the same time. He honestly didn't think he could focus on a date right now. Not when he knew that Serena was having a rough day with her sickness, and after the pain he had felt earlier....Nick swallowed roughly as his arms tighened a hair around Serena. "I don't think I'd be a very charming date today." Nick answered. He gave Serena a reassuring smile. At the mention of a shower, Nick tried not to grimace. "Can't really help you with that one....unless you wanna take a bath." Nick murmured. He could carry Serena up to their bathroom, but if she couldn't stand much on her own....
Maria stirred her coffee, pretending to take a sip from the mug as Alexi continued to talk with his brother. She smiled at Alexi, giving him only a stiff nod as an answer to his question. "I would be weary of getting any medication from here...." Maria murmured. "If anything we can see if the resort has a hospital they use in case of emergencies and tell them we need to fill a prescription or something." She added. As she spoke she fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist and let her coffee grow cold. "Was there anything else we needed to take care of while we're in town?" Maria wondered, pulling a few dollars from her pocket to pay for her untouched coffee. "You were able to send off that package without any trouble?" | |

| Keith nodded in understanding. "I know, its just nice not having them out to sleep, they tend to get in the way" He said stretching slowly, but damn did it feel good to be able to lay on his back. He stiffened slightly as Alayna spoke to him, he had missed her as well, or he had once he returned and realized that he had forgotten his friends, his family. It was weird though, he felt so different from them now, different from Alayna. He had been gone for so long, seen so much and he wasn't sure how he was supposed to just fit himself back in with everything. With being in a relationship, being around the kids, the others. He sighed and closed his eyes not sure how to respond to her. He knew he cared greatly for Alayna but he also worried about how it was going to end. She was aging, two years away had shown him that and him, he was still the same. Rubbing a hand over his tired face he tried to let himself fall asleep, to forget his problems, if just for a moment.
----
"You're never charming" Serena teased her twin lightly, trying to lessen the dark mood. She sighed and touched her hair again before nudging her stomach with her hand. "I can probably shower" She muttered to herself before slowly, with exaggerated care, rose. Taking a deep breath, she smiled as nothing twinged more so then normal. "Should be fine if I move slow" She said to Nick placatingly. "I'll be back, eventually" She added before beginning the daunting task of trekking up the stairs. She felt the occasional twinge but as long as she didn't jerk or move harshly she seemed to be okay.
Alexi nodded, "Had to pay a boatload to ship it, and to stop the woman asking questions, but its off" He said with a sigh. "You're right, getting medicine from a local source probably isn't such a good idea" He said standing up. "I'm good, do you need anything else from town?" He asked her curiously. They hadn't gotten any frantic phone calls so he was assuming everything was okay at the house. He just hoped that Nick had calmed down slightly. "Maybe I'll take Nick hunting, that might help him" He mused. He wasn't surprised at his son's behaviour, he was an alpha vampire and it made sense that his son was as well. Nick and Serena were essentially adults now their inner demon was asserting itself, Nick's behaviour was something he had anticipated and was fine with dealing with. It was scary to have to face off against his son but he doubted that they would ever come to blows unless something drastic happened. | |
