After the story was finished
Lily clapped and giggled at the end of the story. "I'm glad that the dragon ate the stinky prince!" She laughed happily. Jemma smiled. All of a sudden, the girl looked serious and asked, "Aren't you my aunt Jemma?" She nodded. Lily still looked puzzled. "Why don't you recognize me?" Jemma had absolutely no idea how she would explain this.
Suddenly, Fitz burst into the room. Lily burst into giggles. "Uncle Fizz!" Fitz just stood there, looking confused, while Jemma was trying, and not succeeding, very hard not to laugh. "Yes." She said between giggles. "This is your Uncle Fizz and he's going to tell you how you got here and why we don't recognize you." Fitz, very flustered, told Jemma, "Err, um, May wants to see you in the lab." Jemma went, leaving Fitz alone with a very inquisitive seven year old.
"Err," Fitz began. "What exactly do you want to know?" Lily peppered him with questions. "Why don't Aunt Jemma, you, or Granny Melinda know me?" "Well," He started awkwardly. "You know how your mum has powers?" She nodded. "Well, you have powers too." "I know," Lily told him nonchalantly. "I don't know what they are yet, but Mommy and Daddy say I have powers." The scientist's eyebrows went up.
"So, what were you doing when you came here?" He asked. She replied. "Mommy just finished reading me a story cause I'm sick." For a moment, Fitz had forgotten that this lively little girl was sick. "Yeah, and are you feeling?" She coughed. "My throat feels scratchy, but I feel better today." He smiled. "That's good."
Lily didn't feel like telling Fitz anything else, so he told her a story about a girl that's half dragon and half human. After a little while, she fell asleep and he quietly left.
