Ebony nodded sslwoly. She hugged him properly. "You'll be his father Cain, just like I am his mother." She knew Newt wouldn't treat him like he was just a father figure. To Newt cain would be his father. "I missed you." she told him gently. "And I'm so glad you're back."

Cain smiled at her, "I am glad to be back." he said, "I just wish that I had never left." he said to her, "And I wish I knew who did this to us." he said to her as he felt a spike of anger well up then extinguish. "Because I don't know why they would use me." he said.

Ebony knew he'd felt some anger. She knew him like the back of her hand even if he had been gone for years. "I know. It stumped me when I found out what it was. I couldn't place my finger on why, because you were neverinvolved in anything too heavy that would lead to something like that."

Cain nodded as he looked at her, "I don't remember doing anything on the side." he said to her, "But that is the biggest vague spot of all, the six months around my 'death' " he said to her as he looked at her. "I just keep having this image of a rat pop into my mind when I think about it."

"There was a lot going on at that time. We barely spoke to be honest." Ebony told him. She and Cain had been snowed under with different sections of work so they had not had time to be as close as before.

Cain nodded as he looked at her. "Even so, I would expect someone at the ministry would remember some of what I was working on around that time. or there would at least be records." he said to her.

"The records should be able to explain. I'd have to ask Lily for them though." Ebony told him. Pip came running into the room cover in a red sticky substance. For a moment Ebony paniced thinking it was blood...but then laughed. Newt son followed in with a tablespoon and a jam jar.

Cain looked at Pips and then at Newt as he walked in. "Did you fall in the jar pip?" he asked the house elf with a smile. "Or did you both have trouble opening the jar?" he asked.

"It was kind of both, Master Rivers." Pip squeaked. Ebony shook her head s Newt grinned innocently. "I'll search the archive and stuff when Newt's at school. As you can see, he can't be left alone, because he makes the messiest of messes.. Pip could you two get cleaned up please." Pip nodded and ushered Newt out to get cleaned.

Cain smiled at the pair of them going to clean up, "Eh, he will grow out of it." he said, "Of course, I never did so that might be a problem." he said to her smiling as he looked at her, "And thanks." he said to her. "Have you heard from Zara lately?" he asked her.

"Something tell me he won't." Ebony said. She then laughed. "Oh now that makes me feel a whole lot more calm about thing. You haven't grown out of it, and you'll be his father....It's not problem Cain." Ebony paled a little, "Yes, I have...unfortunately." As much as she loved her cousin, the family was in utter wreck at the moment."

"Unfortunately?" he asked her "What do you mean?" he asked her confused the last he had heard Zara and the twins were doing fine, he was a little sore that Matt had vanished at least according to what he had heard.

"You should see the mess that there is." Ebony said. She left with the twins as you know. But she's back. And the twins found out about Matt and....well it's kicking off really. Rhys doesn't want to know. Adolphe's torn between wanting his father and his brother. And Zara doesn't think she can cope being in the same room with Matt as he's just not the same."

Cains jaw dropped, "Matt is back in the equation?" he said to her, "How has he changed?" he asked her as he looked at her, "I mean is it really bad?" he asked her as he thought about it, "I mean Matt should be thrilled to be back with her." he said.

"yeah, he's been back. Working with the Ministry. took his skills and talent for weaponary and makes them for our department." she explained to Cain. "Well I've only seen him haven't really spoken but from what I hear he's just utterly detatched and Zara's worried about his mental state." Ebony shook her head, "They aren't back together though. The marriage, like our, was void after so many years. And Zara doesn't like the way he is...on top of that...if the twins can't accept him she could never take him back. thpse boys are his life after all."
