“No, I’m not.” Lysander chuckled. ”I can't make clothes or a castle out of this.”
Laura-Beth almost started to pout at her daddy's answer.
”But I can do this.” he smiled as he manipulated the flame to form a silhouette of Betty.
she smiled and sneezed.
”Bless you.” Laura-Beth said to her mom while still watching her daddy's fire.
" she got up but sw flashes of Alec in her mind and dropped to her knees
”Betty? What's wrong?” Lysander asked, quickly kneeling beside her.
”Mama!” Laura-Beth cried.
She was breathing heavily clenching her eyes shut
Lysander kept the fireball in one hand and placed his free hand between her shoulders, rubbing gently. ”It’s all right, love. We're right here.” he said calmly.
The lights flicked she had been controlling them she had made them go out
”Come on, my light. It's ok.” he soothed. ”Just calm down.”
She shook her head ¨Make it stop¨ she cried.
Lysander sighed and held her against him as best he could. ”I wish I could, love. I wish I could.”
She opened her eyes and they were yellow and the lights came back on except the things that required to manually be turned on like the tv and the microwave
He kissed her forehead and looked at her. ”Feeling better, my angel?” he asked softly, letting his fire go out.
She nodded " you can feed her I'll get started cooking" she said standing up
”Betty, please.” he said gently, getting to his feet. ”Did you see something?”
" No just my mind playing tricks on me" she said said and walked over to Laurabeth she threw her up and caught her
Laura-Beth squealed as she was tossed in the air, laughing happily when her mama caught her.
Lysander sighed a little and stood next to Betty. ”Angel, don't forget you have a heartbeat again. I just want to make sure you're ok.”
She nodded and playfully nibbled on her nose
Laura-Beth laughed again at the playful gesture. ”Mama ok?”
She nodded at her daughter " ready to go back to daddy?" She asked
Laura-Beth nodded and wrapped her little arms around her mom's neck in a hug.
She wrapped her arm around her daughter's torso
”Love you, mama.” Laura-Beth smiled.
" love you too Laurabeth" she said kissinng her head
Laura-Beth smiled at the kiss.
Lysander chuckled and reached for their daughter. ”Alright, sweetie. Let's get you some dinner and let mom get ready for our guests to come over.”
