By the time Peter, Tasha and Anna approached the house at 137 Prince Albert Road, it was already quite full. Flynn was sitting on Quinn's lap, Stuart and Abby were in the kitchen arguing over silly things and swatting each other with ladles. Jax was visiting too, and Thomas was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aloud to Mara as she snuggled up against Spectre on the sofa.

Mara looked alarmed though, when she felt the presence of angels approaching. "Someone's coming!" She said quickly, obviously frightened.

"It's alright." Thomas said, marking his spot in the book. He kissed her head and he went to the door. "I'll make sure it's alright." Thomas opened the door to a rather shocked looking Peter who was poised to know. "Peter!" Thomas grinned and he kissed his best friend on the forehead. Then he hugged Anna and Tasha and led them into the house. "Mara, this is Peter, Anna and Tasha."

Mara looked terribly shy, but she waved at them anyway. She was scared of Peter because he felt like an angel, and she didn't want anyone to make her see things again. She hid behind Spectre's arm a little until Anna bounced right over to her. "Hi, Mara!" Anna said happily. "I'm Anna. Do you like playing tea party?"

Mara looked slightly interested then. "I...I don't know how to play." And by that she sort of meant in general...

Anna had been expecting that from what her daddy had told her. "That's okay, I can teach you. Abby, do you have tea party things?!"

Abby looked absolutely charmed. "I have a wonderful surprise for you both. I'll show you something very special, come on." She held out her hands for both girls and Anna bounded over to her to take one. Mara sort of scrambled behind them, steering clear of Peter as she did so.

Once they were gone, Thomas turned to Spectre. "If Abby breaks out her precious tea set, I'll give her a gold medal. She used to try to bite my hand off if I touched it. Though...to be fair, I was trying to fill the cups with mud..."

Tasha laughed softly. "Hope cures everything, I'll have you know," she said. "Especially the Hope I can cuddle up to." She sighed happily. "You make everything better too, you know. I can talk to you, and the world just seems... so much brighter. All the good things stand out, and the bad things kind of fade away. Maybe that is hope."

Spectre stroked his fingers gently through Mara's hair. "Sweetie? Would you like to say hello to our friend Kait? I'm sure she'd like to get to know you." He also wanted to go check on Abby, as he was quite sure he knew what prompted her leaving. But he wasn't going to leave Mara without making sure things were okay in here.
