Voltaire walked in to the Order HQ and spied Dumbledore doing some odds and ends.
"Hello Headmaster, Do you need any help?" he asked as he moved chair into place to walk straight up to Dumbledore.

Vincent walked into the headquarters, leaning heavily on his new cane. He still wasn't completely healed, but he was getting around a lot better than before. He spotted Voltaire and smiled. "Hey," he said. "So what do you think? Does it make me look dapper?"

"Are you kidding? you look Swanky as any Cat." said Voltaire half seriously. He Tipped a hand toward Dumbledore and he walked back toward Vincent. "You're looking good. How's Emily, Isa asked me to ask for her, She isn't feeling to well." he said jamming his hands in his pockets and he began to rub two coins together, nervous habit he had picked up rather than a pack of coffin nails he usually liked.

"Thanks. Emily is doing great," he said. "She's been planning the wedding... I have noidea what she's talking about half the time." He noticed that Voltaire looked a little nervous when he mentioned that Isabella wasn't feeling well. "I'm sorry to hear that. Well, she's what 8 months now? Even someone as strong as Isabella sometimes has trouble when they're that far along. But she's tough, she'll be fine. She probably just needs the rest." He gave Voltaire a reassuring clap on the shoulder, which caused him to wobble slightly on his cane.

Vincent gave Voltaire a clap on the shoulder that jolted to his knees to which he nearly buckled over, in his nervousness, Voltaire was ridged and it came as a surprise to be reassured in that manner, but he regained balance and said "Maybe we shouldn't do that again." he chuckled "I know I shouldn't worry...but, I can't help it. Rori has accused me of being a mother hen, and I am not!" he said knowing full well that he was.

"Sorry about that, mate, I guess I don't know my own strength. All the physical therapy for my legs has really strengthened my upper body!" He laughed and moved to sit down. "Hey, you love her, of course you're going to worry about her. Just as I worry about Emily, even though I watched her slay Delilah Dupree with my own eyes. But you know she'll be fine. Between the two of you, I think your baby's going to be luckiest baby ever!"

"Maybe! but you know, Who knows...It's just sometimes scary. Isa still has bouts of self doubt and she's so strong that it makes me feel like an arrogant git for thinking we'll be just fine...We all have our troubles." he said thinking of his current problem. Voltaire was never a list maker, never did he have to tick off all the events of his day off a check list, now he had a small pad of papers and a dictating quill because he had been forgetting simple things like sending owls or even grading papers, logging in scores and current grades. His own self doubt isn't something he felt he should place of Isa at the moment, but he didn't to divulge this...problem to Vincent.

"Well, I guess that's true of everyone," Vincent said. "But trust me, you two are going to be fine. I can tell. I think Isabella's self-doubts are mostly hormone-related. But as long as she knows you're there for her, she'll be fine. You two just have to lean on each other and draw strength from each other. I learned that the hard way after I tried to push Emily away when I was injured. It was stupid, because I started healing much faster when she was there with me."

"That's very true. You did pick up considerably after Emily was back into your life. Your right, to hell with they! I guess our baby will be fine. Have you and Emily talked about a family? or are you going to do what me and Isa did and worry about when it happens?" he asked grinning.

Emily had gotten a later start from the house than she wanted to have had, but still, she figured she wasn't late to the meeting. When she arrived she only notice three people there so far. Emily saw Vincent and Voltaire talking and walked over and wrapped an arm around Vincent. "Hey," she said standing on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "Hey Voltaire," she said giving him a smile. "Dumbledore," she said giving him a smile as well.

"Well, I won't blame you should you consider changing the subject and never speaking of this again!" said Voltaire to Vincent as Emily walked up and then bid him hello.
"Hello Emily! Glad to see your still doing well!" said Voltaire smiling.

"We'll talk more later," Vincent said, giving Voltaire a wink. He wrapped his free arm around Emily and kissed her on the cheek. "Hi, Em, you look beautiful today," he said. "What do you think of the cane? I can't tell you how good it feels to be walking again..."

Emily smiled, but looked between Vincent and Voltaire. "Thank you," Emily said to both of them. "And, I like the cane, and glad you're walking again!"

"Makes for quite the dashing rogue doesn't he!" Said Voltaire winking at them both. "What's the rest of this little crew up to? I recently risked my neck, want to hear about it?" he asked with a grin.

"Thanks. It feels good to get back on me feet again," Vincent said, putting his free arm around Emily's shoulders. Turning to Voltaire, he said, "Uh, oh... What kind of trouble did you get into? I'm sure Isabella didn't approve..."

Emily leaned against Vincent slightly and smiled at Voltaire. "What excatly did you do Voltaire? I agree with Vincent, I don't think Isabella really approved of this action."

V walked into the Order Headquarters carefully. She knew it was a risk coming here, but she needed to do it. She glanced around and realized that she didn't know anyone there except Dumbledore, so she wandered over to a corner and stood quietly.

Dumbledore smiled at the redhaired woman who had just entered. He had contacted her specifically about this meeting and was glad to see she had come. Glancing around the room, he noted that a few people were still missing. He had heard Voltaire say that Isabella feeling under the weather, so she wouldn't be here, but he was still missing Crystal Jacobs and Tyler Jackson. He also wondered whether Alastor would be able to make it, especially since he had a bit of news that might surprise him...

"Nothing! really...I went to a night club and found a death eater drunk off his nut and then got drunk myself and it turns out the Dumb one has no real plans, that's why one of his underlings goes out every night to get totally pissed, that and he's a pretty good drinking buddy...but as long as he stops slurring about how he loves Isa so much more than i do!" he said grinning at the memory "I also happened upon Isabella's...cousin..."Voltaire shuddered " she's vile! walking filth in a tight black dress!" he said making a face of disgust, sticking out his tongue even.
