I wake up to the bright light blinding me. I climb out of bed to the kitchen where Kenric, Amy, Keefe and Calla wait.

"Morning Mommy!" Amy grins.

"Good morning Amy" I smile softly.

"Linh is taking the girls today." Keefe says. 

"Ok." As if on que the door bell rings. Keefe opens it.

"Hi Sophie!" Linh smiles.

"Hi" I wave.

"I hope its ok I'm taking the girls today. Marella is at work and I'm taking Caprice out of school and we are going to go shopping!" 

"It's definitely ok"

"I have to go to school" Kenric says. "Love you all" He leaps away.

"Come on Amy" Linh says taking Calla from Keefe's arms. Then they walk out. 

I walk over to the couch and sit down. Keefe sits down beside me.

"You can take your 'I'm ok' hat off now. It's just me. I'm not leaving."

"I don't understand. Everyone in my dream was talking to your Uncle Berthon.. But you say he's dead. I just don't understand!"

"We could go visit his house and look around if you want" He suggests.

"Sure. But let me change. I'm not breaking and entering in my PJs"

"But that's the best thing to do it in!" 

"Uh-huh sure" I walk to our bedroom and change into a black tunic. 

"Are you ready yet?" Keefe groans.

"You can come in!" I call grabbing a hair brush.

"Alright" He walks in. " Should I brush my hair?"

"Sure. Got to look good committing a crime" I wink.

"But of course" He grabs a comb and combs his hair.

"I'm ready now."

"As am I" He grabs a leaping crystal and we leap to Berthon's house. 

"This is his house?" I ask. It's unlike most Elven houses. It looks like a black villain lair.

"Yeah. He's a little extra" 

"Who goes there?" A deep male voice asks.

"Keefe! Oh and Sophie!"

"Thanks for remembering me" I whisper.

"Shut up" He whispers back.

"Ah so my nephew finally need my help" He says stepping forward his dark batman like cape trailing behind him.

"Yes." I say since Keefe is busy looking at him shocked.

"Time loop?" Berthon asks. I nod. "Come in"

We walk inside his house.

"This is where we die, die, die" Keefe whispers.

"RIP us" I whisper back.

"Stop the whispering!" Berthon yells.

"Sorry!" We walk into his living room. 

"Sit down"

We sit.

"You want to know how I got out of my time loop?" He asks.

We both nod.

"I wad never in one" He smirks.

"What?" Keefe asks. "Father said you were!"

"He lied. I was never in a time loop. I don't know anyone who was."

"Your lying" Keefe says. 

"and how would you know?" 

"I'm currently touching your foot with mine. I'm an Empath I know these things"

"Curse you Empath!" He yells standing up.

"Get out of my house! NOW!"

"Fine" Keefe huffs leaping us away.

"That went well" I say once we get home. "Dex was right he is like a super villain from the human movies.

"Yep. I don't know how to get home now. I'm sorry Sophie" He sighs.

"It's alright Keefe. It's not your fault. At least we are here with each other"

"That was really sappy" Keefe notes.

"Whatever." I role my eyes with a smile. " At least in the future we have the best kids."

"I want another son" Keefe says.

"No way." 

"Yes way!"

"No way!"

"Yes way!"

"I don't want that pain again. Besides we already have one baby we don't need a second! "

"Way to bring the points in and besides I didn't mean now!"

"Oh. But still! four kids? That's a lot of kids."

"We can handle it. We cared for them before."

"We did?"

"Fitz, Biana, Tam, Dex, Linh actually no not Linh but you get the point"

"You make no sense sometimes."

"Of course I don't! I make dollars!"

I facepalm laughing. "I give up."

"So I can have another son?" 

"No" I laugh.

"Dang it."

"It's ok." I smile.
