Visiting::Ria::

[Wyatt Hastings]

((Yeah I didn't make a board for that so... yeah))

Wyatt had a long weekend at work so he was going to take the chance to visit Ria in America. He told the girls that he was going to be busy in his office and to go to Logan if they needed something because he knew that Ria didn't want them to know. He flooed to the house and then apperated to the house in America where Ria was staying while she was under going treatment. he was worried. He hated not being able to see her whenever, to make sure she was okay, to take care of her and hold her when it was hard. He sighed and looked around. "Colby? Ria?" He called. He was glad that Ria at least had Colby, she had a friend here instead of a nurse who didn't know Ria, didn't know that she was so stubborn but you couldn't give in when it was something that was good for her. He walked around a bit, looking for his wife.

[Ria Hastings]

Ria was weak, and that was why she was so happy to have Colby with her. Colby had taken part of her life and put it on hold just for help to Ria. Ria thanked her so much, but she didn't know what else to say anymore. Colby was quiet lately, and Ria was beginning to feel guilty. She'd spent a lot of time on the phone with her husband and the girls. Ria hoped that she was indeed going to not tell anyone. Sure, she'd told her family, but if even one blurted anything out,....then the whole wizarding world would know that Ria was will. Luckily enough, Colby was working with the American Muggles on some store she wanted to open, so it was a good cover.

Ria wasn't well today. She'd had kemo yesterday, and she'd been up all night throwing it up. She was cold today, so she was wrapped into a large blanket and sitting on the couch. Her lips were black from how dry, cracked, and bloodied they had been lately. She shuttered and then turned the page to her book. Colby had been talking about getting another Nurse to stay at home with them just so Ria would have constant care. Ria thought that it was someone applying for the job when the doorbell rang. She stood and spoke, "I got it, Colby." She reached up to scratch her neck and then she moved to the door. She opened it, and she saw her husband. She stood there in shock for a few moments as she looked to him. Then tears came over her face. She wiped at then, and then she covered her face, "Oh, Wyatt... You shouldn't look at me like this. Seeing me will kill any sex drive you have left."

[Wyatt Hastings]

Wyatt's heart broke when he saw her. She seemed so weak and... he remembered back to the time he had saved her brother ex-husband. Even then she had still seemed so strong, like nothing could bring her down. He just wanted to gather her up and hold her. He blinked when she mentioned his sex drive. "Ria honestly, the last thing on my mind is my sex drive." He said. He didn't think about sex constantly and he loved Ria for more than just sex. It kind of hurt that it was the first thing out of her mouth, and that she actually thought that he could ever lose any of his feelings towards her. He loved her and that wasn't going to change, ever. He just wanted her to get better, He hesitated, not sure it was a good idea but he gently reached over and stroked her cheek.

"I wanted to come by and see how you were doing, how you were feeling." He said, looking her over. She was thin, well thinner than usual. Ria had always been thin, even after she had the kids it didn't take her long to lose all the weight but now she was even thinner. He had done a ton of research on cancer and on muggle chemotherapy and he knew that it often made the patients sick. He hoped that Colby was making her eat. he knew that Colby cared about her and wanted her to beat this as much as any of them did and he didn't doubt that she was doing her best but he also knew that he personally wouldn't be able to force Ria to eat if she didn't want to. He looked at her, forcing all fear and sadness from his face, that's not what she needed. "I missed you so much I couldn't wait until break to come see you."

[Ria Hastings]

Ria laughed a bit as she spoke, "Well, maybe it was on mine." She dropped the hands covering her face, and then she gave him a small smile. It was a weak smile, but she gave it to him. Ria stepped back, letting him walk in as he spoke again. Ria grinned brightly as she looked to him and spoke, "I missed you too. How are the kids? What else is new? How is the school? And Logan and Natalia? I know Colby said she was going to go back once she went into labor..." Ria knew she didn't want Wyatt to see her like this, but then he said the rest, and Ria just looked up to him with a tear in her eyes. She came forward to him, and then she leaned her head into his shoulder and spoke, "I missed you too, Wyatt. You can't imagine how hard it has been to sleep alone... When I sleep at all. Don't worry though, I nap during the day.".. She looked aorund at the messy place and then she sighed, "I'd have cleaned if I had known.."

[Wyatt Hastings]

He smiled as she relaxed. She was still beautiful to him. He laughed a bit when she asked him all the questions. "The kids are Fine. Naomi and Camilla are doing great in school and mum says the boys are as rambunctious as ever and she's slowly but surely fattening them up." He smiled, that really was something his mother would do too. They'd go home to two three hundred pound five year olds. "The school is fine. Teaching them stuff, trying to get them to stay awake in class. The usual battles." He nodded. Of course this year he had a bit less patience but He honestly didn't care. "Natalia is fine, Logan is about to jump out of his skin. He has first time dad syndrome, only made worse by the fact that he's so far from them." He shrugged. He was doing his best to keep Logan from freaking out but he knew what it was like, that fear of not being there in time, of not being there if something were to happen and the biggest fear of them all, the fear of possibly not being a good enough father to that baby. He wrapped his arms around her. "You shouldn't be cleaning. You should be resting."He said.

[Ria Hastings]

Ria ran a hand over her head, and she sighed a bit. She missed her hair. Her hair was one of her favorite things about her appearance. It had been hard to cut it, but it had been harder to know she'd loose it in clumps. She'd worn a wig when she was at home so the kids wouldn't know. Here though, she knew she didn't have reason to. Ria felt reassured when he talked about the kids and his mother. SHe grinned a bit as she spoke, "I talked to your mom. I told her that she better keep them playing and running around outside so I didn't have to run them to death If I come home." She looked down and shuttered at the fact. She closed her eyes, and then she sat onto the couch bringing Wyatt with her and she curled into his arms. She grinned a bit as he spoke about Natalia and Logan. She grinned as he spoke, "He will be such a good daddy when she comes. You were a worried daddy too. At least I was there though. I mean...I was right there teaching with you." She leaned on him and curled close to him and then spoke, "I can clean on good days. We just have to use those Clorox products with no scents. They make me sick." She curled closer to her husband and then smiled, "Colby wants to hire a live-in healt care assistant...."

[Wyatt Hastings]

He sat with her and kept his arms around her. Honestly he was worried that when it came time to leave he wouldn't want to let go. This whole thing had been so hard. He usually wouldn't see Ria for long periods of time, just because of his work, but he could see her at almost any time without worrying that she'd be sick, or sleeping. He didn't like coming over unannounced because he felt like he was interrupting her healing process. "Mom says she feeds them then sends them out to play but I don't know." He shrugged. He had never been forced to play, he liked to read more than go out and play games. But that was him, the boys were more energetic. "Of course I was worried, you had a gang of ex-death eaters messing with you." He reminded her. "I'm going to be amazed if Logan can make it without having a panic attack before that kid is born." He shook his head. he hoped he hadn't been quite as intense as Logan was being. "I don't want you to over work yourself." he said honestly. He didn't know how much work she could handle but he was worried that she didn't know how much either. "If you think it would be for the best." he nodded. anything if it was going to help Ria get better faster.

[Ria Hastings]

Ria felt more comfort in his arms then she had felt in a long time. She curled closer to him, and then she spoke, "The boys probably go out to play without her asking. Next time we see her she will be run ragged and thinner from chasing them." She laughed a bit at the idea, and then she shook her head as he spoke about the past. She shuttered a bit as he spoke and she grinned, "You fell head over heels for me form first transfiguration mishap." She laughed a bit at the memory of their first official meeting. She then grinned a bit as she spoke, 'He will be okay once the baby comes. I think it's jsut those first few months that men worry. Worry they will miss it or can't do it right." He grinned a bit as she looked to him and spoke, "I won't over work myself. Trust me, I know immediately when I have." He spoke about the rest, and she nodded as she spoke, "We do since when the grandbaby comes Colby will want to leave for a week or so." She leaned in and then spoke, "Maybe we should go to my room and lay down. Maybe I can actually get some sleep." She looked over to him and then smiled a bit more as she spoke, "Colby said not to worry about the price either...."

[Wyatt Hastings]

"Well she's always saying that she wants to lose weight, maybe it'll just taken them to get that to happen." He shrugged. His mom loved taking care of the twins. She owl'd him everyday talking about how much she was enjoying being around them. It made her feel young. He laughed a bit. "yeah, who knows where we would be if you could make a tea pot." He smiled He nodded when she suggested laying down. He had no problem laying there was watching her sleep. It sounded creepy but honestly he just wanted her to rest and get better and get home because he missed her and he knew the boys missed her. He stood up and slipped his arm around her waist. "Then yes, you should get one. I don't want you alone for a week or two. Someone good, who you like so you should start looking right away so you'll know if they're right by the time Colby has to leave." He said.

[Ria Hastings]

Ria laughed a bit as she spoke, "I've never been good at Transfiguration. You have always been there whenever I need that kind of thing." She smiled a bit as she looked to him, and then grinned brightly as she pulled herself off of the couch. She smiled a bit as she held out her hand. Once he grabbed her hand and got up she spoke, "You haven't seen it since I redecorated." Ria got a large smile on her face. Once they were at her door she opened it. She grinned brightly as she spoke, "Like it?" The walls were covered in pictures, an array of them from every moment of their lives. It was like one large collage of pictures everywhere form floor to ceiling. She then looked to him and spoke, "Colby and I wrote an ad. They should be showing up anytime now."

[Wyatt Hastings]

Wyatt smiled. "It's what I'm good at." he quirked an eyebrow when she said she had redecorated. He wasn't sure what do expect when she pushed the door open. What he got wasn't anything he would ever imagine, the walls were covered with pictures of them, of the kids, of their lives. "Oh wow... where did you get all the pictures." he looked around, his eyes wide as he took it all in, remembering a lot of the moments, wondering how much he drank in others because he couldn't remember it being taken. he smiled at the picture of them together after Naomi's birth. "Wow this is... I could sit in here for hours and just remember." he grinned, looking at another picture of the two of them, sitting in someones living room at Christmas.

[Ria Hastings]

Ria laughed a bit as he looked to her and spoke, "I know that is what you are good at. That's one of the many reasons I love you." She laughed a bit as she saw his reaction and moved into the room. Ria walked behind him, shutting her door incase Colby came home, and then spoke, "I had your mom sneak into the house and send me some, then I had Naomi look for a few and others Colby had." She smiled even more as she heard him and spoke, "That's why I did it. When I don't have anything else to do. I lay here, and I listen and look and remember. The pictures about every hour scramble themselves magically." She grinned brighter as she thought about it and then she moved to the bed. She pulled back the covers, and then she slipped into them. She pulled the covers back up, feeling a bit chilled, and rested, "Come to bed."

[Wyatt Hastings]

Wyatt smiled. "Yeah but you're apparently great with Charms." He said, walking over to the wall and looking at the pictures. He remembered most of them. He remembered the one taken on their honeymoon, he remembered that day with the twins. of course that was just two years ago, they had all gone to a muggle baseball game. He caught the ball and had to turn the one ball into two to keep the boys from fighting over it. He looked over at her. "This is amazing." he walked back over to her, taking off his shoes and his jacket before slipping into the bed, waiting for her to get in.

[Ria Hastings]

Ria nodded, and then spoke, "Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts... About the only skills I ever really had." She smiled a bit as she crawled into the bed. She then held her arms open. Once he got in she snuggled up to him, and looked to the ceiling. She pointed with a grin as she spoke, "Our wedding....even with my over sized belly." She laughed a bit, then she coughed. She curled closer to Wyatt, and after a few minutes she drifted off to sleep. She hadn't felt that comfortable or safe in months. She needed him to sleep well. She knew it sounded silly, but she did.

Ria woke later to find herself still wrapped tightly in Wyatt's arms. She'd felt guilty for falling asleep at first till she heard him snoring lightly. She laughed a bit and pulled him closer before whispering, "I love you." She began to try and slip from the bed to prepare them some sort of meal for dinner.

[Wyatt Hastings]

Wyatt smiled a bit. "I can think of a few things that you're really good at other than those." He said, and held her close. he hadn't been sleeping well either but it wasn't because he didn't have Ria there, no he'd gotten use to sleeping alone over the years while he was teaching and she wasn't, it was just because he spent so much time worrying about her and how she was doing. He got daily owls from Colby because he had begged for them. He realized that she was doing them a huge favor and it took time for her to sit down and write out how Ria was. He also got a lot of owls from Ria but he knew that she wouldn't tell him exactly how she was feeling because she wouldn't want to worry him, meanwhile he knew that Colby would have no trouble telling him the absolute truth. It was what she did best after all. After an hour of just watching Ria sleep he closed his eyes.
