Who: Shiloh, Peter, Alistair, Nick, Carole...
Where: The Winters house.


Shiloh was Not Pleased. Her sister had been supposed to meet her where they always met in order to go home together on the Metro. Bea was generally good about meeting her there and going home before going out again. She knew that she and Nick had arranged for a movie date that evening but that had been after dinner tonight. Muttering to herself, she called Nick. Something was not right.

Nick was puttering around the house, whistling happily to himself as he got ready for his date. He picked up the phone and answered chirpily. The happy smile on his face rapidly dropped as he listened to his girlfriend's sister.

"No she's not here. I haven't heard from her all day." He told Shiloh. "Look I'm coming over. We'll talk then."

This was not good. He grabbed his backpack and scribbled a note for his mother before he ran out there.

Danu ran to let Nick in the door when he arrived. She was even more convinced now that something was wrong, because Bea had disappeared and Ceara couldn't be reached. And as she was the last person to have seen her twin, that did not bespeak itself a good omen.

"I'm trying to reach Ceara, her instructor, but she's not picking up at all. Something's wrong." Shiloh said worriedly.

Nick nodded, "Is there anywhere else she might have gone? Someone else that she might have stopped to see?" He was trying to think of solutions to this, thinking up solutions kept him from freaking out.

Barely.

Shiloh stopped for a minute. Possibly She thought, picking up the phone and rapidly dialing the number for the Universal Life Church, "Hi, I need to speak to Father Bob. It's really really urgent."

Bob sat up. "Shiloh? What's wrong?" He'd recognize his sister's voice anywhere and this was not Macha. This was Danu, the Mother Goddess. The nervous Mother Goddess. This did not bode well.

"Is Bea there with you?" Shiloh asked, hoping that she was and that she could yell at her for it later on.

"No. Shouldn't she be home from Ceara's lessons by now?" Of course Bob didn't stalk his sisters. That would be creepy. He looked out for them and happened to learn their schedules.

"She should be, but she isn't. And I can't get ahold of Ceara either and..." Shiloh took a deep breath. " I can't help but have a bad feeling about all of this."

"I'm coming over." Bob announced into the phone. "If that's alright with you." He added perfunctorily. He was coming over whether Danu said it was ok or not.

The cops had finally left, and Shiloh was curled up next to Peter, finally asleep after watching TV to numb her brain. His phone buzzed - luckily it was on the side Shiloh wasn't trying to occupy.

"Yes?" He smiled a little. "How is- oh." Oh. He looked down at the girl using him as a pillow. "I won't." His voice was tight with worry. "She's sleeping on the couch. Don't worry. We'll make plans tomorrow. I might be late." And he hung up, fingers brushing absently through Shiloh's hair.

"Carole?" he called softly, trying not to wake either of the children. "Carole, I need you." In Welsh this time, trying to put some of his old power back into his voice. Sweet and soft and pleading and irresistible - and carrying, despite him not knowing where she was.

Carole came in through the slider in the kitchen and quietly walked to the TV room. She leaned against the wall and looked questioningly at Peter.

He held up the phone a little. "Sorry to disturb you from the garden," and his tone said he knew it was her kind of therapy, "but Dagda called. The Morrigan had a thought... that maybe they mistook Bea for Shiloh." His tone was mild, but his eyes said if that were true, they would pay even more than he'd planned. "We are not to let her out of our sight; however, I do have a phone call I need to make that is not in the company of children. And it needs to happen tonight. Could you come keep watch in another hour or so?"

Or, you know. After Carole grilled him about what this phone call entailed.

"I can do that." Carole said. "I don't remember if Shiloh ever told me what you do for a living." It was amazing how quickly her ability to talk around corners ahd returned.

He smiled. It wasn't a very nice smile, but it also wasn't directed at her.

"I'm an analyst for the CIA." Which was not what the phone call was about, but she didn't have to know that.

"Out of curiosity..." there was no good way to ask this, "what did it sound like when I called for you to come in?" A weird question, probably. He expected she could keep up with his line of thought, though.

Shiloh shifted slightly, letting out a small yawn that sounded like a dog yipping. One hand came up to draw patterns on one of Peter's knees absently. "Is there any news?" She asked sleepily.

"Ceara will be ok." Carole told Shiloh. She gave Peter a long look. "If I'd known it was you I could have ignored it. It sounded like my son or my husband wanted my help. And if you ever do it to simply play games with me you will have the world's worst case of laryngitis." It was an effort to not add "do you udnerstand me, young man?" on the end of that sentence.

He nodded slowly. "I've never done it before, but I did need you in here. And it could be useful if we have to go get Macha ourselves," he added, quietly. "Powers like that, that aren't directly harmful, we should probably test in situations like this rather than when we're in danger." A flicker of a smile. "And laryngitis would at least get me out of giving briefings to people who don't listen." Not that he was bitter. Of course not. Nor was he inviting her to try... yet.

Alistair was in the car with Marie. He knew he was in a slightly off mood, but he couldn't, he couldn't tell her just yet.

He needed to find and touch Danu to make sure she was still okay. Then he'd let himself dwell on...things.

"Am I dropping you off or are you coming with me?" He asked quietly.

She arched an eyebrow at him. "I was going to ask if I got a say in this whole fiancee thing, but somehow I get the impression that now is not the time."

Which totally didn't answer the question. Oops?

Alistair swallowed hard, and blinked past the tears welling in his eyes. "I'm sorry...it was the only thing I could think of that would let us all stay." He drew in a shuddery breath, eyes fixated straight in front of him on the road. "And yes, you do get a say, I'm not such a cad that you wouldn't get a say in it. It's hard to have an equal giving partnership that's one-sided." He took an other breath and switched lanes.

"I dearly want to have this conversation with you, preferably with candles, dessert, and that wine we liked so much, but I...can't right now. I love you, and I know I'm acting off and I promise to tell you just as soon as I've hugged Danu." He finished, some small part of him feeling proud that he managed to say most of that with his voice quavering. "Cause if I tell you now, we'll never get there."

She smiled a little. "I was teasing, love." Mostly. She reached over and squeezed his hand, in lieu of the hug she'd preferred. "We can talk later. Right now you can focus on driving us back to the Winters'."

Yes. Us. Winters. Not dropping her off to get her car. She hoped that was clear enough.

Alistair nodded, still not looking at her. "Okay. Thank you He spoke.

He quickly switched lanes again. Soon they were there.

He bounded inside to hug Shiloh, who was sleepily finishing her homework. "Hey, you two." She said, nudging Nick with her foot and telling him he could grab blankets and sleep on her bed if he wanted.

She hugged Alistair back tightly. "Are you gonna tell me what's wrong," she asked him in a muffled tone as she was speaking into his shoulder. "Later, little mother," he spoke, "You need some sleep. Even Mighty goddesses require sleep." There was a muffled snickering coming from the corner when Nick had settled for the night, preferring the family room floor over the beds that smelled like her. Alistair ignored him and Shiloh's grumbling as he over saw the making of the fold out couch bed.

He kicked off his shoes and settled in the middle of the bed, Danu tucked in on one side. "Care to snuggle in on the other side?" he asked Marie, trying to recapture his normal lightness. His eyes pleading with her to accept.

Okay I'll be back in a bit - g2g take the computer to some place else Dang it - the man is chatty today

She didn't let him lose physical contact with her except for while he clung to Shiloh, which was a little awkward... but. It was Danu, and this was obviously something she'd have to accept sooner or later.

A slight smile. "Of course," already slipping out of her shoes and blazer. This had an eerie feeling to it that she couldn't quite pin down. Past life? Or just three fertility deities curling up together? "And he's right, Shiloh. We all need sleep after today. We'll face our problems tomorrow."

Ok. Yes, he is, probably because he's trying not to say what's actually going on. Oh, Ali. *pets him*

Shiloh grumpily conceded, "Whatever you say," she snuggled into his side and promptly fell asleep. Alistair sighed, "So yeah," he swallowed again, "um about earlier...the stuff in the hospital reminded me of the last time I was in a hospital." He shuddered slightly.

"I was married before. Her name was Cordelia." He finally got out past the lump in his throat.

She settled into his other side, listening quietly.

"Oh, Ali..." One of her hands found his, the other resting between his neck and shoulder. She didn't quite dare say more, not wanting to interrupt.
