"I think I will clean house but not tonight," Fred whispered. She really just wanted to go home and cuddle with Wesley and read to Regan. Fred knew all of this was going to take a lot to get used to, especially since they weren't spending a lot of time together anymore. She missed her husband and daughter a lot.
As Wesley spoke about the charms, Fred listened, trying to see if he mentioned something she might know about. During her years since coming back from Pylea, Fred had picked up a lot from Wesley when it came to magic and demons. A lot of magic was based in science and it had become easy for her to understand what he was talking about. She had even helped with a few spells.
When he mentioned the third charm, she furrowed her brow. Fred was about to point out Fries had a ring he seemed pretty enthralled with but before she could say a word, Wesley had figured it out by himself. She opened her eyes and nodded. "I already formulated an antidote. It was pretty simple. Even though the virus is dangerous and powerful, the base is simple. Anyone could make it with the right components," she told him.
Fred knew she should probably go back to the lab but she liked being in Wesley's arms. She was about to move when the door open and Regan skipped in with Lorne following behind.
"I have a meeting in a few. Can you two handle the little carebear?" he asked.
"She can sit with me in the lab. I won't be up there too long," Fred said before Lorne nodded and walked out. Looking at Regan, Fred smiled. "Ready to spend some time in the lab."
"Yay!" Regan said as she bounced on her heels.
Fred laughed and leaned up to softly kiss Wesley. "The antidote will be ready in three hours. Then we're going home... all of us are going home. I'm tired and want to relax a little," she said. "So you better be out by the elevator, waiting for us."
"Yeah, daddy! Don't make us come and get you," Regan said with a stern look. Fred laughed and shook her head. Regan's stern look looked a lot like Wesley's confused look.
"Come on, little one. Lets go make the antidote," Fred said. She took Regan's hand, and after waving to Wesley, she walked out and toward the lab.
