Between keeping Jon and his plants alive Hael was up to her eyeballs in extra work. After finding him passed out in the lab after another accidental dose of fear toxin she'd all but chained him to the bed in order to rest. Of course, she had more experience with this situation than she had the last time it happened but that didn't mean she enjoyed it. It had been a lot of fielding business-related calls when she wasn't in the lab or bedroom dealing with the man or his babies.
Hael could hear him shuffling around in his study when there was a hard knock a the door. She was in the lab adjusting the timer on the sprinklers since they seemed to be going off too frequently or not at all. Everything in the lab was fine-tuned to be used by its master and only by its master. As she was drying her hands and entering the main building of the house she heard the sound of feet and laughter.
Confused entered the living room to find Jon hunting a little girl and a woman who looked a bit like him standing by the couch.
"What's this? She asked even as her brain made the connection that this was probably his family. A family that she didn't know existed and he did not talk about. Hael only just managed to hide the hurt in her voice and school her features before speaking again. "Well everyone should come inside and close the door. No need to stand in the doorway."
