Gregory entered the RCS building, carrying Karalin in his arms. He'd passed Gage, who was asleep against the front door, Rin's harp tucked firmly underneath his arm. He knew, after spending months in the forest, that Gage wasn't really sleeping. Still, he tried not to disturb him.
He could've misted them to his room, but he wanted to take the extra time, listening to Kara's laughter. "Kara," he said, "what about Alana?"

Kara smiled and laughed, forgetting how it felt to be carried like she was right now. She noticed the 'pretending to be asleep' Gage and quieted down just a little.
She looked at Greg and thought about the name for a moment before she looked at her stomach and nodded. "I like that name, its a very pretty name."
She smiled and there was a lot of kicking from the baby. For a while it was alright, but then it started to really hurt and Kara groaned. "I don't think she likes being squished for so long."

Gregory laughed, setting Karalin down. "Sorry, Alana." Removing his cloak, he draped it around her shoulders. His eyes alternated back and forth between Kara and the steps.
"Think you'll make it?" he asked skeptically.

"Nope but I can try." She chuckled and started to carefully go up the stairs. "Once again, I'm tougher then you think." She continued to chuckle while going up the stairs.

Gregory followed behind Kara tentatively, prepared to swoop in and rescue her if she suddenly lost her footing. "Careful."
Once they reached the second level, Gregory took Kara's hand and led her to his room. It was across from Phantom's. Lifting Karalin into his arms yet again, he carried her over the threshold and laid her delicately against the bed. Climbing over her, he pulled her against his chest and cuddled her close.
"I've said this a million times, I know, but I missed you."

Kara yawned and settled in Greg's hold as she closed her eyes. "And I know I've told you this a million times, but I missed you too." She smiled kissed him softly, slowly drifting to sleep. The stairs almost killed her and her back and maybe even more of her, but she didn't want to show Greg that is how she felt about some things that she should have gotten used to while he was gone.

Quin watched them go, his expression making it clear he would talk to them later. turning back to Phantom he watched her go.. saying softly. " Avarice cant have my child, you know i would never allow it. And Phantom, if i hadnt met you i would still be slitting throats.. or dead from some fools revenge plot. Never regret being here for us all, because i never will." folding his arms across his chest he went out to the front door.. pulling up Gage and leading him to the room next to Phantom's Wordlessly. " Ill tell you both when she gets back." returning down stairs he set about cleaning his gun, sitting indian style on the floor as he kept watch.

Gage leaned against Phantom's door, guarding it. Perhaps he'd be more helpful inside, protecting Phantom from herself. Pulling Rin's harp from his jacket, he picked at the strings playfully. Then, a soothing melodic tune followed. "For you, Phantom." he said quietly.
Distantly he wondered how Mim and Mina were doing. Originally it had been he and Mina waiting outside, but she'd left to follow Mim. Perhaps the music was to ease both their worries? Closing his eyes, he focused on each note, willing the music to reach even Quin's ears. "You too, Quin."

Phantom made it to her room and closed the door before sliding down and propping herself against it while she hugged her knees. "I don't regret my life, I just regret making it harder for the rest of them." She said softly to herself and closed her eyes, listening to Rin's harp. "I'm sorry I let our dream fade Vaidin, I guess being a mother and a caring friend got the better of me. I'm sorry that I let you down." She sighed and went back to listening to the harp, the music filling her mind and washing away her worries for the time being. When Mim returns with an answer, that will be when everything falls into place.

Phantom had fallen asleep against the door and almost screamed when she awoke. She stood up quickly and opened the door. She raced down the stairs and whistled as she went.
"Mim!" She screamed. She dreamed her friend's death, could hear her voice in her head... 'Phantom' she heard over and over again in her head.
She busted through the front doors, passing Quin and jumping on the now large Hera. "I'm going to find Mim, I'll be back. Don't come after me, and listen to your head." Hera lifted off the ground and took off in a flash... going to where Mim sat still bleeding.

"Quin, I-I've gotta find my mother." Gage said, "I-I need to know that she's okay." Upstairs, a string had snapped. That harp was practically indestructable. Then, the sudden feeling of dread he felt when he'd heard Phantom scream for her...
"I-I need to know that she's alright." Without waiting for Quin to follow, Gage quickly exited The RCS building, his jacket still hanging on the coat rack, forgotten.
Upstairs, Gregory had awoken, but he remained unaware of Gage and Phantom's terror. Although his subconscious must've known, which is why he felt suddenly restless. Rolling onto his side, Gregory studied the still sleeping Karalin and smiled. 'My beautiful wife,' he thought lovingly. Leaning forward, he placed a gentle kiss against her stomach, then her cheek.

Kara started to feel restless in her sleep and after the kiss on her head she curled up close to Gregory. "I love you." She whispered as she slowly started to wake up, smiling softly.
Inside the building, about 5 rooms away from Karalin and Gregory, there was a small flash of light and a young woman appeared in the middle of the room.
This woman was about 5' 5" and had long brown hair in a bun on her head with a few strands framing her face. She was in a strange cloth but it looked a lot like cotton, but ten times stronger. It clung to her top form tightly, it fanning out into a dress if steal. It was the color of blood and she had hair pins to match it. Her eyes were a piercing ice blue, making her skin seem darker on her small frame.
This woman left the room and started to look around, not bothering to knock on any of the doors and she made it to Kara and Greg's room. She opened the door and she looked at the two, then at Greg with great pain in her eyes. "It's you."

Now, anybody entering an occupied room without expressed invitation wasn't exactly on Gregory's radar as being one with innocent intentions. However, when the woman looked at him with...pain, he arched a silver eyebrow in curiosity.
"Yeah," Gregory said cautiously, "I'm me. Been that way for awhile... do I know you?" He rose slowly, bringing his legs over the side of the bed. His hand, instinctively, rested on Karalin's stomach. If she intended harm, he'd protect his family.

The woman quickly removed her weapons that were big and slowly went up to Gregory and fell to her knees in front of him. "You know me, but not in this time."
She looked up at him with her piercing ice blue eyes and a tear running down her face. "My name is Alana Toulon."
She looked at Karalin and smiled a little.
Kara was shocked to see this woman here, but she knew she was family. "Alana."

Gregory blinked. Once. Twice. Alana Toulon? Suddenly, it all registered within his mind. She had Karalin's hair, his eyes. The fact that his unborn daughter stood before him, a woman, meant that his abilities over time had been carried over.
"Alana," he whispered, "what a beautiful woman you grow into."
A beauty that could rival Karalin, although he wouldn't admit that to his wife. Grinning like an idiot, he pulled Alana into a hug, tucking her against his shoulder.
"Welcome. I'm Gregory Toulon, your father."
