"Is that supposed to comfort me" Adam grumbled kissing the top of Dia's head.
Emily opened the door with Miriam in her arms. The little girl was starting to fall asleep but perked up the moment she heard the door open. She smiled at Dia and stuck her thumb back in her mouth. "You're here" Emily said "And you brought Adam. Yay" she added with fake excitement. "Come in. Something has happened to Andre"

"I wanted him to meet the family." Dia answered as she picked up Miriam and entered the house getting into the mindset of a leader. "Bring me up to speed. I want to know how, when, what and why. Adam follow me and Emily don't hold back anything tell me everything."

Adam withheld the temptation to snap at Dia. He sometimes wanted to fight with her about who had control in this relationship but it was obvious that Dia wore the pants. He wanted to keep her so he kept his mouth shut. He followed her into the living room. "Where is everyone? Where's Ben and Evie?" he asked sitting down on the couch and smiling at Miri as the little girl rested her head on Dia's shoulder.
Emily sighed "Mum and dad are a bit upset at the moment. Mum's locked herself in her bedroom and dad is around here somewhere" she mumbled "They were attacked tonight at the park by a group of muggle SWAT team members. Marius Cromwell sent them. Andre was shot by a tranquilizer dart. It was filled with Etorphine. It's a very deadly tranquilizer agent. Andre is in a coma and I honestly don't know if he'll wake up. There's-there's nothing more that I-I can do" she whispered looking down at her lap "If he does wake up I'm not sure if he'll have any brain damage or if he'll even remember who he is" she explained

Dia stopped Emily and placed her hand on her sister's shoulder, "Hey, you did your best now lets get everything else moving." She said comforting as she saw her father sitting in the sun room, she saw that he was deep in thought and wanted to say hello to him. But she had to get things moving. "I want you to get a hold of Amelia Pond, Uncle Jeremy and The Crowne Boys, tell them to start looking for anything that can be traced back to Cromwell. Alert the others and tell them to be on high alert and then check on Mum, she may want to rip someone's head off. If any word comes up, let me know straightaway. Emily, we're going to get the people who did this and Andre is going to be fine."
Ben heard the voice of Dia and saw that she had just arrived with the boy that she had been seeing for sometime now. He walked over to them covering up his feelings with a smile as he approached the three of them.
Dia hugged her father with Miri still in her arms immediately knowing he was hurting deeply also letting him know that they were there for him and Evie in this time of need. "Dad," She said nervously looking at Adam to Ben. "This is Adam Holton, Adam this is my father Benjamius Harper."
Ben extended his hand to the young man and saw that he was a werewolf as well which pleased him greatly. "Nice to meet you, Adam, I knew your Dad he was a good man."

Emily nodded and got to her feet. "I'm on it" she said hurrying upstairs to make the phone calls.
Adam tried to hide his nervousness. He had heard about some of the things the past werewolf lord had done and he didn't want to be on the receiving end of his wrath. He shook Ben's hand firmly "My dad was a good man. I'm sorry about your son sir" he told him wrapping and arm around Dia's waist.

"I remember your Dad and I went drinking in this little pub in Mumbai and he actually drank me under the table." Ben said remembering the man he knew as Holton. "Da, why don't you and Adam have a drink in the living room while I talk to Mum?" Dia asked seeing this could be the start of male bonding as she started bouncing Miri up and down seeing the little girl giggle was nice. She quickly found Evie and saw that she was hurting. "Hey, you alright?" She asked.
Ben looked as Dia walked away and smiled as he was very proud of her. "She's been like that since she was a kid." Ben commented to Adam as he began to walk towards the living room to make a drink. "She gets it from her mother."

Evie was sitting on the floor of her bedroom in front of the mirror. She looked up quickly when Dia entered the room. She wiped the tears from her eyes and got to her feet "I'm fine" she replied walking over to the bed and fixing the covers to keep herself busy.
Adam followed Ben "I've never met Dia's real mother. It's nice that the two made up though. I know Dia really wants to please her mom Hikari though" he said sitting down on the couch

"I agree." Ben said making himself a gin and tonic, he looked over and asked what type of drink would he like. "Amandia has always wanted Hikari's approval and while I am glad that they have patched things up. I don't think that it'll last."
Dia walked into the bedroom and laid Miri on the bed and placed her hands on Evie's hands before hugging her. "Its alright, we're going to do everything in our power to find out why this happened." Dia promised.

"I'll have the same" Adam said with a nod "I think it will last. Dia is much happier to be in her mother's good graces" he told Ben. He wondered if Ben knew what he had been doing with Dia before they arrived here. He prayed that he didn't.
Evie shook her head "I tried to protect my son. But I couldn't. I failed him" she mumbled "I've gone over it a thousand times in my head. I'd see it all again ... do something different. Faster or more clever, you know? If I had protected him then none of this would have happened"

Ben made the drink and handed it to the young man he knew what they were doing before they arrived. He shook his head and remembered that Dia is a grown woman and rip his head off if he made fun of her boyfriend.
"Its not your fault, you caught by surprise. Just be thankful that it didn't get worse, Andre's a fighter he'll pull through." Dia comforted as she held her stepmother close.

The silence made Adam uncomfortable. "So how's your wife?" he asked taking a sip of his drink. "You two just had Charlie a few months ago? She really got back into shape pretty fast" he said with a nod
"I shouldn't have insisted that we take the kids to the park. I should have known better" Evie argued "What if he doesn't wake up?"

"Yeah, she started jogging a week after Charlie was born." Ben said chuckling as he sat down then started sipping on his tonic. "How long have you and Dia been dating? She was keeping your relationship pretty close to the chest and made Emily promise not to say anything to me."
"You couldn't have known what was going on." Dia reminded as she laid her head on Evie's shoulder. "He'll pull through, he's strong like Dad."

"Dia and I actually had a first date at your wedding Mr. Harper. Emily invited me and kind of pushed me and Dia together. She gave us both the push we needed" Adam told Ben "Things are going really well between us"
"Do you remember how long it took your father to wake up from his coma? I-I waited. I wanted to be there when he woke up but I figured the first thing he would have wanted to see was Kari not the chick he accidentally knocked up" Evie said

"Oh, I remember that and I remember seeing your hands especially." Ben said with a chuckle as he shook his head when he asks Dia about it, she would change the subject. "What are your intentions?"
"Dad was in a coma for 4 weeks, he should've been there longer but Grandpa James told me that after You and Mum visited him. He started moving first by closing his fist. Andre'll wake up soon." Dia said.

"My-my intentions? Well ya know. Same as your intentions at my age" Adam muttered "I like Dia. She likes me. We're together and we'll stay that way until she dumps me for a better dude" he said with a shrug.
"I visited him once. I told him I was pregnant with Andre and left town. Didn't really matter. He asked for Kari when he woke up anyways" Evie said getting to her feet. "Andre was always a strong baby. He kicked all the time..."
