Daphne had finished giving Nigel a bottle before putting him down for a nap, letting Zorbin watch Liam for a bit. The boy was busy drawing a picture for Millicent's birthday, and she hadn't had the heart to tell him quite how sick she was when she'd seen her at the Shack. As Daphne left Nigel's room and closed the door behind her, her house elf appeared with a crack, saying something about how Liam was calling for her.
When she heard the boy crying, she rushed to him, bending down to try and see what was wrong.
"Liam, love, are you okay? Did you fall?" His chair was overturned and he was sitting on the floor, his pictures crumpled up next to him. "What's wrong?" she asked again, trying to pull him into her arms.
