Mary Kendall, A Ghost Story
Promises
Jamie wakes, changes and plays with Rani who was sitting up in her cat bed, meowing and looking around in confusion. He reminds her they are staying at his place for a little while. Rani purrs as if she understands and rubs her head along his hands. Bekka stirs and gets up."Good morning Jamie, I love you."
Jamie instantly puts Rani down and enjoys kissing his Bekka good morning. “I love you Bekka! I would love to go back to bed with you, but I need to check on Damien."
Delighted, Bekka giggles. "Promise for later!" and winks at him. “I'm taking Rani downstairs, so she can get used to the house. I will find some breakfast and afterwards, I'll be in that empty room Mary wants to be a nursery someday.”
Jamie kisses her again. "I absolutely promise! I will see you in a little while."

Damien still sleeps, but he is restless and should awaken soon. Lia bounds off the bed and twines around Jamie's feet. He brushes Lia while waiting for Damien to wake.

Lia runs down to the cat tower and finds a strange kitten scratching on her tower. She thinks, what kind of treachery brought a strange kitten in the house. The kitten tries to chat with Lia but Lia hisses. The kitten hisses back. Such a feisty little thing, Lia thinks.

Sari arrives and promptly gets between Rani and Lia. They sniff each other and back away. Sari introduces herself and Rani to Lia. She explains why they are in the house. Once it is explained, Lia is ok with them staying as she quite likes Bekka who knows exactly how to scratch the itchy spot on her neck.

Bekka sits down with Layla and Lee and eats her breakfast. She feels like she interrupted something as they are both so quiet.
“I’m sorry I wasn’t up earlier. I hope you both found everything you needed ok?”
“Yes, thank you. There is plenty of food in the refrigerator, and my breakfast was quite delicious.” Lee remarks.
Layla nods, “Yes, plenty of leftovers for now. Please don’t feel you need to wait on us. I know you have a lot to do with the renovation here as well as your other jobs you probably have scheduled.
“I’m good here for a couple of days before the deliveries will be made on one of my other projects.”
Lee turns to Bekka and adds, “I’m very impressed with what I’ve seen so far. I was looking at the pictures from before you started. It will be fascinating to watch the work progress.
“Thank you, Lee. A few rooms will wait until Mary returns. She wants to be involved in those. I can still get a lot done and launch my other projects while waiting for Mary.” Bekka smiles at Lee. “I’m so glad you were able to help, and your confidence is exactly what we all needed.”
“It is my pleasure to help Mary and by extension the rest of you. I’m going to meditate. Will I be in the way in the living room?”
“No, you will be fine. I’m setting up an area upstairs for my temporary studio. I will work in Damien's office after that.”
Lee looks over at Layla. “Will you join me in meditation? We can go on that tour after.”
“Yes, that sounds like a great plan.”

Damien wakes, and sits up in the bed. He starts to stand and Jamie hurries over to help him.

Damien feels a little unsteady and groggy. Looking over at Jamie, he asks, "Did you do one of your mind wipes on me?"
"Nope, I just built a wall around your emotions since you were unable to respond when I asked if you wanted one."
Jamie senses Damien's emotions are back to normal this morning. “I think it is safe to remove the wall.”
“Yes, please."
Touching Damien's shoulder, Jamie slowly takes the wall down layer by layer to be sure there is not a rush of emotion. It seems Damien’s own psyche released all that emotion while he slept.
“All gone. How do you feel?"
Damien rubs his hands through his hair. “I feel rested, less anxious, yet not myself. Part of me is missing with Mary gone. That will take some getting used to. Our soulmate bond is vital and when she disappeared my soul wanted to go too. I'm honestly not quite sure what kept me here. My bond with you perhaps? Maybe your wall helped, so thank you. I still feel off, but not like when Mary disappeared."
"Hmm," Jamie puzzles, "Lee strengthened your bond with Mary to protect her soul. I wonder if he knew how it would affect you. We will need to mention that to him. Promise me if you start feeling a need to disappear you will find me and let me put the wall back up."
"I promise. I don't want to be gone when Mary gets back! I will be ok now. I believe it was the suddenness of her disappearance that affected me. I knew she would disappear but she was there and then gone." Damien shakes his head as if clearing the memory.
"I’m taking the day to clean up around Mary’s memorial. Mary told me her parents came the winter after her death and placed it in the yard. They visited many times over the years until they were too elderly to undertake the trip. No one has taken care of it since then. I know you guys would help, but I need to do this myself.”
"I understand. Just know we are here if you need or want help. Go take a shower and I’ll clean up and feed Sherlock and then we can have some breakfast. I’m starving."
“You are always starving!” Damien smirks at him. “Thank you!”

Damien undresses and looks wistfully out the window before getting in the shower. The snow has melted and revealed all the dead brush and weeds surrounding the memorial. He wants to get rid of all that. He knows it will be much easier now the snow has melted. He gazes at the crocuses and smiles sadly remembering Mary's comments about finally getting to see them.

Jamie makes the bed, feeds Sherlock and cleans the feathers off the floor. He carefully puts the fire out and will clean the smoldering ashes later. Damien comes in and notices all he has completed. "You are going to make Bekka a great husband."
Jamie grins. "She hasn't popped the question yet."
He smacks Damien on the arm, glad to see his friend's humor back. "C'mon lets go eat."

They go downstairs passing Lee and Layla who are meditating in the living room. Damien has a mushroom omelet, and Jamie discovers a fried peanut butter sandwich that Bekka must have made for him. He happily digs in his yummy breakfast while he and Damien chat.

Jamie hurries off to find his Bekka as Damien heads outside to start his project. She is upstairs looking around one of the empty rooms. “I think this room will work to set up my temporary studio." Jamie agrees since it is so close to his room and hurries downstairs to bring her things up that he left in the truck. Bekka giggles as she watches him go. He completely forgot she can maneuver them up here with her powers but she loves he wants to help her. They work together organizing the room.
The room is quickly set up, and Bekka is pleased with the natural light coming in the windows.
"Thank you so much for helping," she tells Jamie. She moves over closer to him and flutters her lashes. "You made me a promise earlier today, did you not?"
"That I did," replies Jamie as he drowns in her beautiful eyes.
Bekka reaches out and embraces Jamie, kissing him boldly. Jamie takes her by the hand and leads her to his room.
