The best thing about bed rest, Alanna quickly decides, is that the bedroom has become her own personal domain ( Read more... )

They'd agreed to let Adam get a little stressed with a bed bound Alanna before springing flying on him...

They'd probably agreed on a week...

But Rachel was never good with time, so the "week" part was a bit iffy by the time there was a cheerful tap at the window. What flying adventure. probably unapproved by Adam, shouldn't start by unconventional entrances?

Certainly not this one.

Alanna slowly opens her eyes and looks at the window without moving her head. She smiles. A moment later, the window opens in a wave of purple light.

"That's the first time someone has used the window as a door. I don't disapprove."

"We'll have to get you more window walkers then" Rachel admitted cheerfully, if quietly as she ducked in and wandered over to sit gently on the bed.

"How you holding up?" she asked, reaching out a single finger to poke the woman's nose gently.

The nose wrinkles as Alanna makes a face, playfully batting at Rachel's finger.

"Bored, but better than expected. Everyone has been lovely. I think I've consumed enough chocolate to treat a small country."

"I didn't bring chocolate" she admitted, ducking her head in mock-shame. "I failed you lady! The shame..."

"...but I'll get over it. Good to hear you're only bored and not yet scaring the hell out of people for fun..." she teased. "Did you tell Adam?"

"You bring fresh air, and that will always be better than chocolate."

Guiltily, Alanna examines the ceiling like she's looking for the answer there.

"I tell Adam everything... except when I can't figure out how."

"Oh, okay" she blinked for a moment, trying to figure out how to tell Adam...then she shrugged and grinned "Got some paper laying around?"

Rachel? Was going to get herself in trouble.

"Plenty," says Alanna, pulling several sheets from the middle of a leather bound book. "And there should be a pen on the bedside table."

She bites her lip.

"Who knows? We might even be back before he returns. If so, what he doesn't know won't hurt him."

Rachel took a sheet and found the pen after a moment of looking...and quite simply wrote out:

Adam,

I've taken your red head flying, trust me, she'll be fine. Back soon!

She never signed her name, just burned her symbol into the bottom edge and laid it on the foot of the bed. "If he gets upset he can yell at me, I'm good at getting yelled at" she chuckled, then offered her hand.

"His redhead," Alanna reads with a smile. "I like that."

It's possible she has been a touch sappy as of late. Swallowing, she takes Rachel's hand and very slowly starts to sit up.

"How does this work, exactly?"

"You've claimed him, and he you, it's a good term" she agreed. Rachel wasn't sappy...she thought oddly.

Well, for starters, there was almost none of the unwieldy, weighty feeling of pregnancy, even when they weren't flying yet. "I'm letting you borrow some of my ability, the teke...you think and it shall happen as it's tied to you" not even actual thought, but subconscious!

Alanna takes a deep breath, and lets it out slowly.

She smiles.

"I don't feel so bulky," she says in a peaceful tone of voice.

"Just something else taking the burden for awhile" she chuckled softly. "Anything else you need to know?"

She certainly wasn't going to take her friend out the window until she was ready!

"I trust you," Alanna tells her. Then, "It won't hurt them, will it? I'm not supposed to move much."

"No, it won't hurt them...you know how you can move, even subconsciously...and you would never hurt them" she noted gently.

"We'll just save the back flip loop de loops until later..."

With one arm wrapped protectively around her stomach, Alanna nods. There's a quick smile, then a solemn look settles on her features.

"Right. Then I am ready."

She squeezes Rachel's hand.
