"That's mostly up to your Auntie Meg, as it is her house. What would you want to do? Not what you think would work best or something like that, but what would you want to happen?"

  Isolde said "Well, I would like them to be able to live close enough I can still talk to them, and where they can let me know if they want to put their furskins or whatever on, but in a place where nobody will freak at them WHILE they are wearing their furskins if they are still acting smart."

Aaron nodded at his daughter. "Maybe we can find a place where its just them. Somewhere they can be self sufficient."

  Isolde nodded, and said "Daddy, you know the meat eaters and the grazers all know each other now, and they need both salt water and fresh, right?"

Aaron nodded. "Right but if they're being people somewhere they can take care of themselves, or maybe some will be people and take care of the animal ones. They just need a place they won't be bothered."

  Isolde nodded, and said "Yeah, but if the sharks want to walk on their legs, they need land, and if they want to swim, they need saltwater.  And they all need fresh water to live on when they're on two legs.  So the where is a bit hard."

"Well we'll keep thinking about it. Maybe Auntie Meg's or her mommy knows a place." He reached over and squeezed Bella's hand. "You got anything to add love?"

  Bella said thoughtfully "I think they need a decent sized island of their own.  I just don't know of any uninhabited ones."

Aaron nodded. "Yeaht that might be difficult to work out." He looked down as his phone beeped and pulled it out. When hhe opened the message his eyes widened. He passed the phone over to Bella face down so she could look at it, on the phone was an automated text with news headlinnes with the report of the latest jailbreak.

  Her eyebrows shot up, and she said "Looks like we'll want to be on the alert.  Someone is not fond of me."  She offered his phone back, even as she took his hand in hers.

"I don't think either of them are very fond of you to be honest. We need to be super carefull as I have no idea what they'd be up to, we might want to head home."

  Bella nodded, and picked up Isolde with a grin as she said "You ready to go, Munchkin?  Looks like there's heroing work for everyone to be doing."

Aaron stood up as Bella grabbed Isolde clearing away their food from the picnic table. "Sorry we have to cut this short sweetie, but somethings come up that needs to be taken care of. I'll make it up to you, I promise."

  Isolde tugged him over for a kiss on the cheek, and said softly "Daddy, you don't have to apologize.  It makes me really proud knowing you're a hero."

Aaron smiled at his daughter. "I'm glad, you've got Bella to thank for that one, you wouldn't have been proud of who I was before we met."

  Isolde met his eyes, and said softly "Oh, I don't know, Daddy, I think I might have been.  After all, you would have been proud of me, wouldn't you?"

Aaron kissed his daughters cheek. "Always sweetie, but you'll just have to trust me when I say I wasn't Daddy material before. Your Daddy hurt a lot of people when he was lost in the dark, before he found his guiding light." He smiled at Bella squeezing her hand. "And one of them was your mama."

  Isolde smiled as they walked along, and asked him softly "Am I the best accident you ever had too?"

"Of course you are." He said with a smile as they headed out to the parking lot. "Now Daddy and Bella have work to do when we get back, but we'll make sure there's someone to watch you before we leave, okay?"

  Isolde grinned, and said "There is alwas Nana."

"That there is." He got into the drivers seat and started the car. "Now when we leave we need you to stay in the house, you can go in the indoor pool if you want to swim, or watch a movie or whatever, but you've GOT to stay inside till we get back, okay?"

  Isolde smiled, and said "I think I will swim for a while, in the inside pool, and then take a nap with Nana.  Will that be Okay, Daddy?"

Aaron smiled as he pulled out of the parking lot and headed home. "Thats fine sweetie, long as you don't go wandering around outside you'll be fine."

  Isolde said "I promise I will stay in the house, Daddy.  Unless I am accompanied by a responsible adult, like Auntie Lin."

He smiled at her as he drove. "Good girl."
