Next chapter! :) Sorry it's taking so long, school and all.

Kate walked into the restraunt, not surprised that her father had found the most expensive place in town for a quiet lunch. She spotted him, and her mother, in no time, sitting at one of the finely decored tables, off to the side. The rose to greet her.
"Hello sweetheart! How are you feeling? Everything still alright?"
Kate laughed. "Yes, Mom, I'm fine. The doctors said everything cleared and the antibiotics worked against whatever it was I broke out it. They are having me go back in a few days to run some test, but other than that..." she shrugged.
"Well we're glad your feeling better." He father smiled, hugging her before offering her a chair.
As they all settled, the waiter came for their drinks.
"So other than this little scare, how has the year been going?" Mrs. Tuney asked.
"Not bad actually. I mean, school is still school, but over all, the classes have been managalbe, my grades are good, and my friends are awesome."
"Didn't you tell us something about a new roomate?" Her father inquired.
"Ah, yeah, Sarah. She's really great. We've actually become really good friends, plus she's dating Caleb now, so that worked out great!"
"Caleb?" her mother thought, "Isn't that Pogue's friend, the one you said was really sweet?"
"No, that one's Tyler. Well, Caleb's sweet too, but he doesn't really interact much with others. He's the one that lives at home, taking care of his mother."
"Oh, yes, I do remember you mentioning him. Well I suppose that is convienient Sarah took interest in him."
"I'll say, now at least when Pogue has "guy time" someone will be there for me to complain with!"
Her mother laughed at that.
"So where is Pogue? Strange that we still haven't met the boy you've been with for, what is it, almost three years now?" Mr. Tuney asked.
Kate sighed. "I know, I know. I want you guys to meet him, but usually I go home on the holidays and this is only the second time you two have been up here, so things haven't really worked out yet."
"Well you should have invited him to lunch!" Her mother insisted. "You know we wouldn't have minded."
Kate shook her head. "Little problem there. Pogue is sort of immoble at the moment."
That gained some questioning looks from the two adults. "Well, you know how he has that Ducati he's always working on? As far as I've heard, when he found out I was in the hospital he tried driving up there, not exacting going the speed he should have been. Anyway, it had been raining, and I guess the tire slipped or something, and he wrecked."
"Oh dear, is alright?" Her mother asked, with a look of true concern.
"Definately," Kate laughed, "He's still in the hospital, but he really only got a little banged up. I went up there last night and stayed with him, and he's pretty much back to normal. They should release him any day now."
"Oh well, as soon as he's feeling up to it, we all need to get together." Her father mused. "We'll be in town until Wednesday, so anytime before then."
"And we'd love to meet Sarah too!" Her mother insisted.
"I'm sure we can work out something," Kate smiled. She really had missed her parents. She loved her life at Spencer, but everyone was due to get a little homesick. Besides, it was hard to visit with all their different schedules.
They continued to talk and eat for the next hour, and was almost getting ready to leave when Kate's phone buzzed with a text.
"Well, Pogue's getting out tomorrow. Apparently he's healing a lot faster than they thought! So where are you guys staying?"
"That's great dear. We will be in that cute little Hampton Hotel, on the outskirts of the town, stop by whenever!" Her parents hugged her again.
"Okay, I will. See you later!"
Perhaps Pogue would feel like meeting them sometime this week. She was heading back toward the hospital anyway, so she thought she'd run it by him.

"How you feeling man?" Caleb asked, as the three boys entered Pogue's room.
"Like I got ran over by a bike, then thrown around by a long-line decended warlock. But you know, the typical pains."
"Well glad to see you back to normal." Caleb laughed, shaking his head.
"Yeah, I've been trying to heal, but the damn nurses barely leave me alone for five minutes."
"Well perhaps that's a good thing. They might get suspicious if you're suddenly all perfect again."
"Oh come on Caleb," Pogue insisted. "I'm not an idiot. I've been healing slowly. A pain in the ass, but a lot better than waiting it out to heal normally."
"No kidding."
Getting serious, Pogue looked at the others. "So what exactly happened? Last I remember, Chase was tossing me around like a rag doll. I've never heard of a Son having power like that. It's not even in the book is it?"
"No," Caleb answered. "That's because he tracked down his real father, who unfortunately, had ran his body down and was more than willing to will his share to him."
"So..." Pogue encouraged.
"So he knew I was ascending. He used Kate to bait you in, then used you to bait in me. He wanted me to will him my share, he knew he was addicted, and knew his body would start wearing down. I guess he thought more power would prevent that."
"Idiot." Reid commented.
"So," Caleb continued, "I agreed to meet him, well he kidnapped Sarah, then I agreed to meet him. We cat fought some until I ascended, hurt like a bitch, I'll tell you, then we really started going at it. Turns out my mother got my father to will me his powers, so I was evenly matched to Chase, and in the end, I won. We think. His body wasn't found, but even if he did somehow survive, he wont be on his feet again for a while."
Pogue sank back into the blanket, adjusting to it all. They had given him a brief summary when he'd awoke, but that was a lot more than what had been explained in whispers as the doctors came in and out.
"Damn. I miss all the action." He pretended to complain.
"Well you're ascending next month, so I'm sure you'll get plenty."
"So what does Kate think about everything?" Tyler asked.
Pogue sighed at that. "She doesn't know anything, as far as I can tell. She thinks the antibiotics got rid of her breakout, and I don't even think she know's about Chase yet.
"What about Chase?" Came a voice from the doorway.
The others spun around, and Pogue could see Kate standing there.
"Shit," Reid muttered.
