Phoenix blinked for a moment as she looked at Delfina then to Shayla. "Alright, you can give it a shot."

"I hope that this'll help," Delfina stood up from sitting on the steps, brushing the dust off of her clothes, then waited for Shayla.

"You and me both," Phoenix mumbled as she braced her tires, she was getting to the point where was getting frustrated and was willing to go for anything.

Shayla had been going into herself, taking deep, even breaths. She had plenty of energy to spare this morning. She opened her inner vision and looked at Phoenix's magic-presence as an arrangement of energy centres, roughly analogous to chakras in the human tradition. After studying the base center for a bit, it became apparent to Shayla that something was not quite right there. Phoenix's magical tradition didn't cover this, so it was possible that it could have been placed there without her having a clue at all. Finally, she opened her eyes.
"Phoenix, it looks like your granddad was dabbling in some Tantric stuff at some point, so unless you were looking for THAT kind of signature, you would miss it. But he wasn't proficient enough to cover ALL of his tracks."
Kendall moved in a little closer, letting Ebony know that it didn't matter to him what her biology was doing.

"What's Tantric?" asked Delfina as she had watched Shayla do the search, "Is it anything like Bruja?"
She had been learning Bruja magic from Veronica from time to time whenever Team Flo 'n' Go came for a visit.

Ebony opened her eyes a bit and looked over at Kendall, noting how close he was to her. She didn't say anything but moved a little off her cushions and pressed herself against his side.

"He might of had a book about it," Phoenix said with a shiver, she had most of those books locked away when Gryffin started moving around, she couldn't have him happen upon something he shouldn't. "Its some secret following of some kind out of India I think..."

"Then that's probably where we can find it," said Delfina, "and find a solution to solve this infertility problem of yours."
*****
At Ebony's home, the Viper was resting quietly on the couch cushions, having cried herself out. Now she was breathing softly and getting herself together. It was then that the phone rang, but Ebony did not get up to answer, letting the answering machine get it.
"Hello, you've reached the Sanders-Massey residence," said her recorded voice on the machine, "We're not here right now, so if you'll leave your name and number, we'll be sure to get back to you. Thanks."
But after the beep, she heard a strangely familiar and dreaded voice that she thought that she would never hear again. "Hello, Sweetheart," it said, "Didn't know that you were married now. It would've been better to hear your real voice instead of the one recorded on this machine."
Like a flash, Ebony was off the cushions and sweeping up the phone reciever in her antenna. "You're not allowed to call here, Dad," she growled, hormones rising again, "I have that restraining order against you."
George Sanders chuckled, "That only works when I'm within the stated number of physical miles away from you. There's nothing preventing me from calling my daughter to see how she is doing."
"You son of a -- " Ebony caught herself before she got the b-word out in front of the three boys, not wanting them to hear her curse, "I can get my lawyer to look into that."
"Go ahead," George replied cooly, "but all I want is to see my little girl."
"Leave me alone!" snapped Ebony.
"Alright, have it your way," said the Eclipse, "but, I'll be seeing you very soon."
There was a click and Ebony stared at the phone as the dial tone went on for a minute before she hung it up. She felt numb inside, as if somebody had ripped the road right out from under her tires. Ebony came slowly back into the living room and curled up on the couch cushions beside the twins and Gryffin, staring off into space.
H-how could he have found out my phone number? she thought, I had changed it again and it's unlisted. Nobody knows about it except my close friends...
This turn of events really bothered her right now. Her father, even though she didn't want him to, had come back into her life to give her trouble. And to make matters worse, she was now in term. What could this do to the baby if she got too stressed out because of her father coming?

"I had everything of his books locked up in the Firebird's basement in Vegas when he first died," Phoenix said.

"But we can still get to them, right?" asked Delfina.

"Of course," Phoenix said. "I just have them locked up tighter than Fort Knox."

"I wouldn't mind taking a trip to Vegas right about now," said Delfina, "as much as I enjoy being a mother, I need a break from time to time."

"And Gryff is with Ebony right now," Phoenix said. "And Rico is going to be busy in the shop. We probably wouldn't be able to get back until tomorrow if we drove."

"And Aron can take care of Stephanie for me as well as take care of the house while I'm gone," nodded Delfina, "I can shapeshift real quickly to my car form if we're driving."
