An: Fair warning, this will be a long AN. You can skip if you want; it is mostly about my weekend.

So over the weekend I went to the Dallas Sci-Fi Expo here in Texas (one of three events they do every year) and it was AWESOME! I got an autograph from Karl Urban and while I was at his table I also got a hug, super nice guy, plus I got a photo with him. When I looked at it a little later I realized that the first three buttons of his shirt were undone (neck, top of his chest and just above his belly, yeah his chest showed :D) I found this out after my hug, which was a good thing since I was already melting from his voice. :3 I also got an autograph/ photo from Karen Gillan. She was super sweet, we complimented each other's hair and I got a hug from her as well. I saw Stephen Amell (from a distance) I heard from other people that he was a super nice and loved talking with people. Artie, Claudia and Pete from Warehouse 13 were there as well and played off of each other at the tables. So yeah, my weekend ROCKED!

KikaKatTIOI: *pokes at AN above* Man, Cali is far from me. Why is it that the people I would click with live in like Narnia? Something with Tomar-Re and his family would be nice, but whatever you do I will no doubt love. Tell me when you draw the pictures. Thank you, I'm a supporter of marriage equality so it kind of comes out in writing. I think I may be making Tooey to cute. About the scream…

Little Dark Sapphire: *catches flowers* Thank you!

Shiver-Fire: Thank you. I try.

JEN-M: I'm glad you like them. I'm trying to give him a background. About that…

"Move Mary! See what is wrong!" This snapped Mary out of her daze, her ears ringing . The scream she had heard had changed to crying wail. She jumped of the roof, slowed her decent as she reached the ground, and ran towards the source. She got to where Tooey sat crying while cradling his left arm close to his body.

"What's wrong?," Mary asked shocked as she neared him. She knew that she had to keep calm to keep Tooey calm. If he freaked out he could hurt himself more.

"My arm hur…hur…hurts," he bawled. Mary moved to beside him to get a better look at him. Well she would have if someone hadn't of grabbed her and thrown her away from Tooey.

Mary stumbled back into Tomar-Re. He caught her and prevented her from falling. He moved to stand beside her, not going any farther. Mary looked down at the scene in front of her and realized that Nazli had been the one that had thrown her.

Nazli was currently sitting on the ground cradling a sobbing Tooey in her arms. Her wings were forming a barrier around them. "Shh.. baby it's alright momma's here," She said as she held him gently," I'm going to make it all better. Now tell me what hurts."

"My arm," Tooey said calming down a little. Nazli gently moved him to get a better look at his left arm. She looked it over and turned her head to Tomar-Re. He moved to sit in front of Nazli. He gently took Tooey away from Nazli.

"His arm is broken right here ,"Nazli said pointing to a spot halfway between Tooey's wrist and elbow. "We need to get him to a doctor to get it set," She said not taking her eyes off of Tomar-Re or Tooey.

"Wait I can heal him," Mary said," I have the ability to heal others." The look Nazli gave her was one of questioning and protectiveness. "I've fixed broken arms before. It will only take a few minutes and it will be as good as new.

Nazli fixed her in one last look and moved over. She opened her wings a little to allow Mary to sit in front of Tooey. "Very well," she said with a slight sigh," but please be careful."

Mary nodded and moved to the open spot. She looked a Tooey being held by his father and gave him a reassuring smile. "This will only hurt a little," she said placing her hands above Tooey's arm. They began to glow green. "Tooey you're doing really good and are being very brave."

"Like daddy?," he asked as he scooted closer to his father.

"Yeah," Mary said with a chuckle," Please try not to move." Mary closed her eyes and focused on fixing the bones. As she worked the ringing in her ears lessened, till it stopped completely. "There we go," she said as she looked his arm over," All better. How does that feel?"

"It… it doesn't hurt," Tooey said with a slight sniffle," My arm feels good." He wiggled out of his father's arms to wrap Mary in a hug. This shocked both his parents and Mary. "Thank you Mary," he said happily.

"You're welcome," Mary said returning the hug. Tooey unwrapped his arms from Mary and went around her to his mother.

"I'm all better momma. I'm sorry I scared you and Daddy," he said hugging Nazli.

Nazli returned the hug as she stood up. She turned around and walked back inside the house, leaving Tomar-Re and Mary behind. "He's always bounced back fast but I don't think Nazli will let him up there any time soon," Tomar-Re said as he stood up and dusted himself off.

"Are you sure he is alright?" Mary asked.

"I've seen your work before. I think he is just fine. Nazli will probably look him over before she thanks you. Thank you for fixing his arm."

"You're welcome. It was my fault any way. He jumped up because I said something that got him excited."

Tomar-Re chuckled. "With that boy you could say the word rock and he'd get all hyper," he said as they began to walk inside the house. Nazli met them in the living room; Tooey was nowhere to be scene. "Where's Tomar-Tu?"

"He's getting cleaned up," Nazli said as she hugged her elbows," You should go and tell him bye before you go. I'm not going to make you wait. You have a job to do and I shouldn't stop you." Tomar-Re looked shocked but smiled and left the room. Nazli walked over to the fireplace, Mary followed.

Mary looked at some of the pictures, most where of Tomar-Re's family. He was in several of them but not all. "You probably think I'm a royal bitch don't you?" Nazli asked.

Mary's head snapped to her right to look at Nazli. "Uh," she said.

"I'm sorry for swearing but it was the only word that would fit," Nazli said with a small laugh," Galia says I act like that every time my husband leaves."

"You know Galia?"

"Yeah, she and I both work in the horticulture department at the Center. …. Thank you for healing Tooey. I'm sorry about grabbing you like I did."

"It's alright. Maternal instincts must have kicked in."

"That is probably right."

Mary looked back at the pictures. "There are quite a few pictures up here," she stated.

"I like to take pictures so Reylie knows what has happened while he was gone," Nazli said.

"Reylie?" Mary asked.

Nazli facepalmed and chuckled "That's my pet name for him. Please don't tell him I told you, he hates it. I gave it to him when we were kids so it sort of stuck."

"I won't tell him," Mary chuckled," Wait you've know each other since you were kids?"

"Yeah we met back when we were six years old and that was thirty years ago."

"You've know each other for thirty years! How old were you when you got married?"

"We were both twenty-one. He was my best friend before he was my boyfriend," Nazli said as she reached up on the mantel and pulled a picture out of the back. "When we were younger there wasn't a day we didn't see each other. Actually my brother, his sister and Tomar-Re's best friend used to hang out together all the time." Nazli turned the picture she was holding to show Mary.

The picture showed five young Xudarians all on a rock. Tomar-Re and Nazli where easy to spot first, they were on the left side of the rock. Tomar-Re was wearing the same thing he is now but without the sash and Nazli had on navy pants and a red tank top. It looked as if she had just slid in and put her arm around Tomar-Re's neck. To the right were two other Xudarians, one male and one female. The male was sitting had the same skin color as Betah but with brown eyes, he was wearing the same thing as Tomar-Re. The female was sitting in the male's lap, her skin was the same a Tomar-Re's and she had green eyes, she was wearing a green dress. Crouched behind the others was another male Xudarian, his skin was the same as Nazli. He was wearing all black clothing that matched his black eyes.

"Is that all of you?" Mary asked.

"Yes. That is me and Reylie," she said point at the picture," The other two together are Celerina," she pointed at the female," she is Tomar-Re's sister. That," she pointed to the male whose lap Celerina was sitting in," is Singh-Li, he was Tomar-Re's best friend. They are… were Betah's parents. They died when she was two, ten years ago."

"Oh. What happened?" Mary asked.

"There was this sickness that struck our planet. It was fatal to anyone who caught it. The cure took too long to find," Nazli said sadly," They were only two years older than us."

Mary nodded. "Who's that in the back?" she asked.

"That is my older brother Romat-Ru," She said placing the picture back," That was taken a long time ago I was only ten."

"It is kind of hard to believe that you have known Tomar-Re for that long."

"I think that attributes to the way I act when he has to leave. I worry about him when he is gone and never want him to leave when he is home. He is half of me, and I feel like a part of me is missing when he is gone."

Mary smiled. "Well with knowing him that long you have the right to hate when he leaves."

"Momma! Momma! Did you really say that Daddy could leave before dinner," Tooey said suddenly behind them. They turned around to see Tooey riding on his father's back as they came into the living room.

"Yes I did sweetie. I think this conversation is best continued outside," Nazli said. Everyone nodded and they went outside.

AN: Long author's note gets a long chapter. I like that I gave Nazli's reasons for being the way she is. The pet name for Tomar-Re is supposed to be pronounced like Ray Li, which is what I was going for. Oh KikaKat, I would love to have the picture that Nazli showed Mary as art, please, or is that too much to ask? I kind of hate to say it but two more chapters and this story will be done. :( I've enjoyed writing this for people to read. Anyway review and tell me what you think.
