"Raina don't run in the house! I apologize, I wasn't expecting company. "
"Its just for a little while. She's one of my patients and it was easier to treat her here. We're short on beds at the hospital. "
Tae nodded in understanding at the woman, the smile remaining and stretching the cut on her cheek a little. "I'm sorry to impose, miss..."

"I'm sorry to impose miss.."
"Oh where are my manners? Its Nina." she held a hand out to her. "Its nice to meet you. I do hope you are comfortable here. The children can be a handful." she glared at Charlie a minute but she gave a smile. "Charles, i wasn't expecting you home tonight, so the children and I thought we would go out."
Charles exhaled before he nodded, a hand rubbing his face. "Just be careful Nina." He watched as Raina came back in the room. Hearing Nina pick up Geoffry and carry him outside, he turned to Raina. "Take care of her for me Angel."
"Right!" she ran after her mother, the door slamming a little.

"Oh where are my manners? Its Nina. Its nice to meet you. I do hope you are comfortable here. The children can be a handful."
Tae stepped forward finally, taking her hand. "Tae," she said after deciding which name to use, stepping away a little.
"Charles, i wasn't expecting you home tonight, so the children and I thought we would go out."
"Just be careful Nina. Take care of her for me Angel."
"Right!"
Tae watched them, pursing her lips as something flickered across her gaze, though she tried to keep a friendly smile and air about her. When the door closes, she let out a breath she didn't realize she held, leaning against the wall. A hand pressed against her forehead. What was she doing?

Charlie stood there frozen a moment, eyes distant. After a moment though, he turned to her with a bright smile. "Sorry about that. Things get hectic around here as you can see. Anyways, I can show you where you will be staying. That is if you still want to stay" he adds with a soft voice.

"Of course," she murmured, pushing off the wall and forcing a smile. "I'm sorry for all of this. I probably should've left on my own instead of endangering you and your family."

"You have no need to be sorry, it was my decision. Although I am sorry for her rudeness. I-" he stepped forward but swayed a moment before straightening. Shaking his head to clear it, he spoke again. "Follow me." Quietly he led her to a small bedroom second door on the right. It wasn't much, only had a dresser and a queen sized bed. Other than that, there was nothing else to decorate the walls.

"You have no need to be sorry, it was my decision. Although I am sorry for her rudeness. I-"
Her hand reached out to help him, worry flickering across her gaze but she let it fade as she took a step back.
"Follow me."
Tae nodded and followed behind him, and once at the room, she looked around and sat the pack by the bed.

Charlie leaned against the door frame. "I realize it's bare but I don't have very many things to decorate the house with. " he grew silent a moment. "Do you want anything to drink?"

"I realize it's bare but I don't have very many things to decorate the house with. "
"No, it's fine," she replied, giving a grateful smile. "Really."
"Do you want anything to drink?"
Tae hesitated a moment, gauging. Then, she replied, "Yes, please."

Charlie smiled lightly before he walked out the door to the kitchen. "I have water or some juice I think... "

"I have water or some juice I think... "
She followed and studied her surroundings. "Water is fine," she responded. "Save the juice." Her gaze traveled over everything, though her thoughts went back to his kids, which ultimately led her back down the path she had to quickly steer herself away from.

Charlie nodded and got two glasses down. He poured hers and handed it to her, back facing her. He then went to start on his, hearing the door open. After a few seconds though he dropped his glass.
"Charlie?!" Garcia walked into the kitchen hearing the noise.
Charlie turned to face her, the color drained from his face apart from his cheeks. "Garcie."he smiles at her humbly before he crumpled.

She took the glass with a nod, taking a drink. When she saw the glass drop she sat hers down quickly. "Are you all right?"
"Charlie?!"
"Garcie."
Tae's gaze snapped towards the voice, but found it's way back to him as he crumpled. Quickly she moved forward and wrapped an arm around his waist to keep him from falling. "What's wrong?" She asked him quietly, eyes searching his face, frowning at the discoloration.

"What's wrong? "
Charlie turned to look at her. "What do you mean?" Reaching up he felt his head slowly. "A fever, just what I needed. " after a minute he blinked. "Sorry, I'm not a very good host."
Garcia went to support his other side. "Let's get him to his room." Gently she started towards the end of the hall to the last room.

"Let's get him to his room."
Tae frowned then nodded, helping Garcia move him towards his bedroom without a word, though her mind was moving quick. Sick? Sickness nowadays nearly always meant trouble.
