*She sighed and nodded.*
It's not myself that I'm worried about.
"Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

*Bruce had one arm around Jess, and he was throwing curious glances at Snape* "I think...you might have to explain him to me sometime." He said, sounding more fascinated than anything else. Jess sighed, completely relieved, although she still hadn't seen James yet. She knew he was all right, he could take care of himself.

*And then, a masked woman in a tattered black dress staggered up, half-carrying, half-dragging along an unconscious Christian* "Erika...does not...like weddings..." The woman ground out, before collapsing onto the lawn with her burden. She was still muttering, though her eyes were closed. "Help him...smoke inhalation..." *Micaela noted in the back of her mind that dawn was breaking in the west, barely distinguishable from the blaze itself. She'd stood, because sitting she felt even more useless than she was, waking Liam. She laid the shawl she'd come out in (the night was warm enough) on the ground so that he could lie down on that instead of her and kept Ellie in her arms, holding the baby close.* *Upon seeing Erika drag Christian out, gasping about smoke inhalation, she gasped and took a step towards the two, before realizing she wasn't going to be able to do anything.* "Oh God..." *She choked.*

*Maxim gave her shoulder a squeeze and strode gestured over to the fire truck, ((which totally existed in the 30's. I looked it up.)) where two men had already hurried over to tend to Christian and his rescuer.*
"He'll be fine. Let me take Ellen- you go and tend to him," *he said gently.*

*She carefully placed the baby in his arms and reminded him to watch Liam, looking up at him gratefully. Though she couldn't really do anything, it made her feel better to boss the firemen around, so she padded over there to attend to things.*
*Liam slept on, despite the chaos, in that way only small children could, but Ellie squirmed, screwed up her face, and then woke up and blinked at Maxim.*
"Dada?"

*He smiled softly at Ellie and rocked her gently.*
"Ssh, go back to sleep."

*She continued to squirm, looking nervous. Though of course she didn't know what was going on, she could sense something was wrong.*
*She whimpered, her face forming into a tell-tale frown.*

*He frowned- crying babies were not exactly his area of expertice.*
"Come on now, none of that."

*She began inhaling and whimpering alternately, obviously preparing to wail.*

*Christian let out a gasp, and for a brief moment flailed before he realized where he was. He blinked, and when he sat up he starting violently coughing.
Eventually, the spasm passed, his look of relief turning to one of horror when he caught sight of the Phantomess lying prone on the grass*
"Do-do something for her!" He croaked. "She jumped out of the second-story window! I...I heard bones break..."

Jess sighed, completely relieved, although she still hadn't seen James yet. She knew he was all right, he could take care of himself. I wonder what other interesting relatives Jess has...

*Micaela fluttered around worriedly and nearly collapsed of relief when he sat up and sputtered. She kneeled down on the grass next to him, offering her hand.*
*The medics looked a little helpless, but turned her over and checked her over. It was concluded silently between them that her chances were immensely slim and one of them looked up to Micaela and Christian.*
"Sometimes the shock is just too much for a body to go through..."

*She began inhaling and whimpering alternately, obviously preparing to wail.* *He shushed her ineffectively, rocking the baby and muttering reassurances into the baby's ear.*

*Ellie, already tired and cranky because of it, was eventually distracted by her own flailing hands, which she promptly began sucking on. Soon she was yawning and resting her head on her father's shoulder, babbling sleepily in babyspeak.*
