Time-Out

[a_time_slip]

Janie's boat was parked at sea, on a little island in the middle of an ocean.

She wanted to be alone.  Alone was easy and safe and it would allow her to heal.  Not sure how much time had passed, the time traveler didn't really care.  She could explain it to her friends when she was ready.  Whenever that would be. 

The island was rocky and not really capable of supporting much life.  Janie still sat on the beach, mostly out of habit.  It didn't feel right anymore, not after what happened with Robert.  She sighed, and tossed a rock at the sea.

Janie has kept up with the kids as much as possible, usually cheating and skipping around in time and space to check in on them. She spoils all of them rotten, especially Malik.

"I do too, Phoenix. But I'm not sure they'll manage it. Neither of the women can have children, and Lynn hasn't been able to make cloning work. They want a little privacy while they figure it out. I'm sure they'll come up with something."

"I hope so. I never knew I'd be given Sam. Alec and I adopted mortal kids over the centuries, but, well, you probably know how much that hurts."

Having Lynn as a child had been a little scary at first, until Phoenix had realised she was immortal. "I was so happy when Lynn turned out to be mine."

"I'd always been told that I would never have kids." Janie said "And one day, with no notice, I had Lynn. I was just a kid myself, really. But I needed her. I've had other families, other children that I adopted, but it's not the same. And it does hurt to lose them."

Janie hadn't know that she was immortal until she was around a hundred. Then she realized something.

"I'm glad you're her father. I think. You're going to be a fantastic Grandparent."

"You think?" He gives her the Kaelen eyebrow, but his eyes are twinkling.

"It's gonna be fun. I hope they can find a workaround."

"She has linked me to your lot. Forever." But Janie was laughing. She loved Keldra. It was home.

"Me too, but I wonder... What that child would be like. Lynn is both of our races."

[ashes_ascended]

"Gods help you both," he grins. Phoenix always loves it when she laughs.

He wonders if they're both skirting around the issue of the Beast a bit, but surely it's a being so unique, it won't repeat? Unless it wants baby beasts. The angel shudders. "It was like that for Spectra and Stefano. Wraith and vampires hadn't bred much when they got together, Stefano didn't want Therese to be born vampire. Lucky she takes after her mother."

"Will Danae give her a child?" Janie wondered, out loud "That's how I got Lynn, isn't it? "You lot have the birth spheres. I don't think- well. Maybe it will be something new. A stork."

[ashes_ascended]

"Maybe she will. I mean she must see Lynn as one of her own... but it might be a long time coming." As Sam had been.

He laughs at the stork. "There must be a universe where that's possible."
