Filling In The Gaps

[Amorentia]

Blaise POV

Once on the Reservation, we appareted to Peni's. Our Guard split off from us. I saw Sara breath a sigh of relief when they left. Now that we were on the Rez, we weren't going to have constant guard outside. Mimsy took our stuff to get set up in the Guest House. Kelsey took the kids into the Main House, while we went to John's to pick up the kids.  

As I shook John's hand, Marcus's Sister Em walked over, hugging Sara.

"It's cause of my brother-in-law," Em said shaking her head. John reached up putting his arm around her. 

Sara sighed blaming herself, "It's cause of me.  They came to my house Em, not yours, my Dad's bar, not yours."

Em hugged her, "Don't, okay? You either..." Sara sighed. Em answered her, "Exactly." I rubbed her Sara's back thankful to have a bit of insight into her mind so even if I couldn't do anything, at least I could understand.

"Do they know yet?" I asked John who shook his head answering, "Not yet." I nodded in response.

Once we got all of the the kids back, we did our best to start setting all eleven of them up. Thankfully we had the two Nanny's and the two House Elves. Then Reg and Jalil showed up. Jalil walked right in slinging Jaki up on his back, scooping Bliss in one arm as he made his way to the couch. Quickly the twins jumped on Uncle J as I stole a moment away with Reg.

I asked him about Tori, "Is she?"

"Yeah, she's okey." Then he nodded toward where Sara was on the floor with the babies asking, "Is she..."

"Yeah....," I told him as Sara brought Brailee to give to him. Placing a kiss on my jaw, she left to go back to the Guest House without saying anything else. She blamed herself. I had no idea how to approach that without making her feel worse.

Rubbing my head, I asked Reg after she left, "Should I go talk to her?"

"Who else is gonna do it?" Reg asked. I looked at him with my concern as evident as my unsurity.

"You want me to go?" Jalil asked. Promptly I told him, "No."

"Someone needs too...," Reg told me. Holding out his hand he asked, "Rock, paper scissors?"

I ignored him asking, "What should I say?"

"Aren't you supposed to know this stuff by now?" Reg sighed. "Are you okay is a good opener...no, no...Are you okay, jackass."

Shaking my head I stood up, "I'm not calling her jackass."

"Then don't ask me what you should say..."

Leaving them, I went to follow Sara to check on her. She laid in the bed with the light off. I climbed in bed beside her putting my arm over her as I kissed her shoulder. Leaning up I pushed her hair over her shoulder as she put her arm over my waist asking, "You need me to help with the kids?  It looked like you guys had it."

She was acting so strangely it completely threw me off. All I could think to do was ask what Reg suggested, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," Sara said morosely which was a definite no.

Holding her in my arms I kissed her head knowing she didn't want to talk, but not knowing what to do to make her feel better. Sara just watched the wall.

"Sweetheart," I told her - just trying. "Marcus's sister was right. It wasn't your fault." Sara groaned in frustration which was my signal to stop. With another kiss to the head I asked before leaving, "Do you want me to bring you anything?"

She answered my question with a quetsion, "Do you need anything?"

"Just you to be okay." I told her. "I'm concerned about you." To that she groaned again.  

At once I banished myself back into the Main House where Reg was in the room with all the kids so that I could stop doing any further damage.

"It's you're turn." I told Reg. "Just give it like fifiteen minutes so she doesn't think I sent you in."

"Told you to call her jackass." Reg sighed. "Do we have M&M's?  Ice Cream?"

"Why didn't I think of that?" I asked in disbelief I missed such a big thing.

"It's a sign," Jalil teased me.

Reg gave Jalil a slight smile, "I know right...eight heading to a nine." Then he spoke up, "If you want me to try, I will..."

"No," I jumped up. "Let me try again. Thanks, man."

Giving it a second try, I entered the room seeing Sara still staring at the wall. I put A Walk To Remember on the tele. When I went to give her the M&M's and the Ice Cream she smiled whispering, "Thanks. I love you...I'm gonna take a nap, okay?"

Bending down eye level I saw this was more complicated than I thought. Before I got to leave I put a charm on the Ice Cream to keep it from melting as it sat by her bed. "It's here if you want it. I can't take credit, it was Reg's idea. I wouldn't call you jackass, so ....." Sara didn't even smile, but she did accept my kiss.

"I like that you don't call me jackass," Sara's fingers grazed my cheek before she closed her eyes to fall asleep.
