That morning Rory woke to Tali jumping up and down on her
Your back
Your back
Your back! -Tali says excitedly
Hello my littlest Witch -Rory
Tali stops jumping and instead cuddles her mother
I missed you -Tali
I missed you as well honey -Rory says kissing her head
Can we cuddle for a bit -Tali
Of course we can -Rory agrees
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two Months Later
Rory and Tali are in the training room working on Tali's sword fighting
That's it -Rory says as Tali blocks a blow from Rory
I did it -Tali
Rory shoots her a wink
Ok now I want you to strike me and I'll block you ok -Rory
Tali nods in agreement
Tali then does the moves that Rory has taught her or one's she had read
Rory blocks, side steps, and dodges the blows
Good. Again -Rory says as she leans back avoiding a blow to the neck
The two stop when Natasha enters holding Take out bags
You two hungry -Natasha
Rory and Tali share a look
We could use a break -Rory
I am hungry -Tali
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lunch
Rory, Natasha and Tali are sat in the dining room eating the takeout that Natasha has brought them
So how's out little swordswoman coming along -Natasha
Pretty good. She's really improving -Rory
I blocked Mama earlier -Tali
Did you know -Natasha
She did -Rory
Soon enough your be kicking your Mama's ass -Natasha
Tali grins
Rory scrowls a little
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Office
After Lunch Rory set up the TV for Tali then she goes off to the office where she begins writing up the report from her mission
She is nearly done when Natasha walks in with a parcel in hand
Tasha -Rory
Rory. This came for you -Natasha says giving her the parcel
Rory takes the Parcel and reads the lable
It's from Lisa -Rory
I wonder what it's about -Natasha
Before Rory can open the Parcel or respond Tali walks in
Mama am hungry -Tali
Is that so -Rory
Yep. What's for dinner -Tali
Why don't we go have a look -Rory says putting the parcel in a draw in the desk then she goes over to Tali picks her up then they walk off to the kitchen with Natasha following behind them
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dinner
Rory, Natasha and Tali are sat around the table and both are talking an eating dinner
Will I ever be as good as you at fighting Mama -Tali
One day you will be -Rory
Maybe even better -Natasha
Rory playfully glares at Natasha
By the time am done with you honey your be able to kick Aunt Tasha's ass blind folded -Rory
Really -Tali
Natasha sends Rory a look but Rory refuses to look at her and keeps her attention on Tali
Yep but it will take time an effect -Rory
I am working hard -Tali
And you are really improving -Rory
Is there anything that can help me along -Tali
Rory pauses in thought
Well when me and your aunts trained we learned Ballet -Rory
Ballet -Tali says confused
It's a form of dance -Natasha
Can I learn -Tali
Sure you can -Rory
We can teach you -Natasha
Tali lights up at the thought
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Office
After Dinner Natasha takes Tali to begin teaching her Ballet
Rory went to the office to have a look at the Parcel. Rory is sat down on the sofa in the office with the Parcel in hand which she opens
Once it was open Rory pulls out a photo that's in the Parcel
She's confused at first the photo is of a young lady with red curly hair and Dark green eyes
Then it hits her
This is Karli
Her daughter
Her baby
Her first born
Rory tears up and she begins to read through everything else
It had everything
Where Karli went to school
Where she lives and the list goes on
Rory is close to crying when Tali enters the room rubbing her eyes and yawning
Rory puts her feelings to the side for now and decides to go over it all later
Rory picks up Tali
You tired baby -Rory
Yeah. Bed please -Tali
Come on then -Rory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tali's Room
Rory tucks Tali into bed
Runs her fingers through Tali's hair and she softly sings her to sleep though it doesn't make much to get Tali to fall asleep who was very much tired
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later That Night
Rory is sitting in the office drinking Bonbur looking over the photo of Karli with tears in her eyes and she's conflicted if she should go to her
It is all the way in Berlin
Natasha walks in and see's that Rory is upset and she sits down by her
What's wrong... Who's this -Natasha says picking up the photo of Karli
Your niece -Rory
As in -Natasha
Yes -Rory
She looks a lot like you -Natasha
Rory smiles a little on hearing this
I have her address -Rory
So what are you waiting for -Natasha
She lives in Berlin -Rory
What's stopping you -Natasha
What if -Rory
Am gonna stop you right there. You can't think of the what if's ok. This girl is your daughter. Tali's sister. My niece. You need to give yourself a chance. Give her a chance. Give her the chance at having her mother -Natasha
Rory bites her lip
You need to work through this ok... Karli is the last step of you finally moving on from your past... She may not know it yet hell you might not know it yet but you both need each other... Open up your heart and give her a chance -Natasha
Ok -Rory
Ok -Natasha
Now quit hogging the Bonbur -Natasha says swiping the bottle and pouring herself a glass
