Chel rolled her eyes, "Kid? What happened to love? Or was that also for spell purposes?" She asked not quite able to stop herself from antagonizing Nero. Nita cleared her throat causing Chel to look over at her with an abashed expression, "Sorry, it's just he kinda asked for it." Chel pointed out as she folded her arms. Nita sighed and shook her head in amusement, watching as Nero summoned some servants to examine the damage. Chel really had done a number on the basement, "I'm sorry I hurt you Aunt Nita, and that I tore your dress." She said apologetically. Though het whole body stiffened as Nero approached them and started scolding her. "You're blaming me? Look, I didn't ask to get brought here. And you obviously didn't do such a good job of keeping me restrained. If those chains were as good as you had said they were, none of this would have happened." Chel pointed out in clear annoyance before she sighed and studied the basement. "I can probably repair the small damage but I still don't have good enough control to begin fixing that dent." She admitted as she moved to study the chains. "Where did you get these anyway? I mean no offense buddy but uh they're kinda antique and you might want to upgrade." Chel said with a frown before she glanced back at Nero with a small smirk.

Nero folded his arms and glared at Chel. He could definitely see his son in her...maybe that's why she was so irritating. When she offered to help clean up, he scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Don't bother. I have a very...particular way things are done down here and you'd just screw it all up." Though when she moved to study the chains, he was behind her in seconds and snatched them from her grasp. "I made them. Now get your grubby little hands off of them, you'll destroy them even more." He huffed in annoyance and set them down on his work table and shooed her away. It was like having a toddler around again..only more grown up and mouthy. When his servants appeared once again, bags heaved over their shoulders, Nero turned to Nita. "Nita, go get yourself cleaned up. I'll be up in a minute to heal you more and check on the children. And take this nusciance child with you." He waved his hand lazily at Chel and turned his attention away.

Chel made a face, "Sheesh touchy much? You should be grateful I'm even offering to help, considering what you were doing earlier." She said watching in clear amusement as Nero pulled the chains out of her hands. "My hands are not grubby! And besides these chains are already broken so what's the big deal anyway?" She demanded as she put her hands on her hips. Nita got off of the table and made her way to Chel, "No worries Nero, I'll handle it." She said before she leaned over and kissed Nero on the cheek, which made Chel groan in disgust. Before Chel could make another comment, Nita led her out of the room. Glancing back at Nero, Chel stuck her tongue out at him before she allowed herself to be led out of the room. "You have got to tell me what the hell is going on here Aunt Nita." Chel added, her voice echoing in the room as Nita escorted her on out.

Nero glanced over at Nita when she planted a kiss on his cheek, the gesture letting him know she wasn't too upset anymore. It was relieving to know that Chel wasn't going to be bothering him while he worked but when he saw her stick her tongue out at him, he growled. "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out kid." When Nita finally got her to leave, Nero smirked and flicked his wrist so Chel tripped on something invisible as she walked out and he chuckled loud enough for her to hear.
Once they were gone, he turned his attention back to his servants and pointed to the bags. The two emptied them out onto the floor, their content scattering across the floor. Inside had been a mixture of stones and bones, yellow flowers and herbs mixed in as well. He bent down and picked up a skull, holding it before him as he looked. It was always a pity when his dealers never fulfilled on their end of the contract. On the other hand though, it made his hounds happy...and they made nice decoration.

Chel flailed as she tripped over something and she had a very good idea of just who was responsible. "Oh I'll hit him in the ass, that little-" She growled as she picked herself up. Nita cleared her throat interrupting Chel's tirade, and Chel's face flushed in embarrassment. "Sorry he really knows how to hit my buttons." She muttered as she followed Nita up the stairs and into what could only be Nita's room. "Ok what's going on? Why are you with your creepy ass grandpa? And while we are on the subject, what happened with dad? I thought you were together, you know like in a relationship." Chel pointed out as she shut the door. Nita bit down on her bottom lip as she pulled out another dress. "Like I said earlier, it's a long story Chel....and I have a feeling you're not going to like hearing it." Nita said quietly. She changed into the new dress before pulling her hair back into a loose braid. While she did this, she explained everything that had happened in the past few months. Chel's face fell as she heard everything, "What I don't understand is how you're developing feelings for the crazy guy. I mean he's a bit of a step down from dad wouldn't you say?" She asked quietly, her eyes landing on Nita's baby bump. Nita sighed and ran a hand through Chel's hair in a comforting gesture. "He's not all bad Chel...and of course I miss Naveen, but as long as I'm pregnant with Nero's children it's better this way. Your father wasn't really pleased when he found out I was pregnant...he said some very hurtful things. I don't blame him, he had every reason to lash out at me." She admitted with a sigh. Chel leaned over and took her hand, "I'm sorry...dad he hasn't talked to me much either. And every time I see him he's always short tempered. I thought I did something wrong, I mean why else would he send me away?" Chel's expression was bitter as she admitted this. Nita's face softened and she pulled Chel in for a hug, "Naveen loves you, he's just in a very dark place right now. I missed you, not a day went by where I didn't think of you." She whispered quietly as she stroked Chel's hair. Chel clung to her as she tried to allow herself time to relax.

Nero hadn't spent long overseeing as his servants worked before he finally made his way out of the basement. The moment he got upstairs, he heard his hounds making a fuss, no doubt from the new person in the house and he huffed. "Shut it, she's not staying." He ran his hand through their thick, black fur when they responded to his words. They may be hellhounds but they were particularly picky on who they let around the mansion, much like Nero was. He made his way up to his own room, his hounds trailing behind him. The little minx had ruined his clothes, though he didn't really mind. He stripped out of blood stained clothes until he was bare and took a quick bath to wash off his skin. The water turned a deep red, causing him to look down at it in distaste. It was helpful having a healer around though...made the work much easier on him. Nero slid on his usual jeans and a tight fitting black shirt before he made his way over to Nita's room. He could hear the women talking inside and he couldn't help but groan. A part of him almost forgot that Chel was still here...
He let his hounds push open the door before he entered the room, a smug look on his face as they growled low in their throats at her though he cleared his throat and they stopped. "Damn, you're still here kid..I thought you would have run off by now? Need a grown up to take you home?"

Chel tensed as the door opened a few hellhounds wandered in, clearly they didn't like her. She made a face down at them, well she didn't like them either. Chel snorted at Nero's words, "No, but I'm not going to leave my aunt's side. She needs me so whether you like it or not I'm staying." She said flatly with a smug smirk on her face. A little laugh escaped Nita, "It might be kind of nice to have Chel around, especially once it gets closer to the due date." She said winking over at Chel. Chel grinned triumphantly, "See, and before you start demanding I pull my own weight, I can do quite a bit. Don't worry gramps I'm good at a lot of things. You'll just have to learn how to keep up with me." She said with a wide grin.

At her words, the hounds growled and looked up at Nero, their red eyes sizzling. Nero even felt his eyes widen when Nita agreed so easily and he groaned in annoyance before his gaze moved to Nita. He thought of protesting but he knew Nita was lonely with just him around. "....Fine, whatever you say love. Now lay down, let's get you fixed up." Nero said a short command and his hounds left the room, their gaze never leaving Chel until he closed the door. He shoved past Chel so he could kneel down beside the bed and check on Nita. His hands lifted up the skirt of her dress, carefully laying it so it wouldn't wrinkle and let his hand rest against her skin. A warmth spread from his fingertips and over her skin as the scratches on her stomach faded, the skin just as perfect as it had been before. "There, feel better?" Next, he waved his hand over her stomach, a warm light illuminating her womb just as it had the other times he'd check on the children. In the soft light, it was easy to see two dark forms swirling inside. A smirk came to his face as he looked up at Nita, giving her a small nod to say that everything was okay.

Chel's smile widened as Nero finally caved, though it immediately wrinkled at Nero as he shoved past her to help lay Nita down. "You're so mature." She muttered under her breath before she moved to Nita's side. Chel reached forward and took Nita's hand while Nero worked on healing Nita. "That feels much better." Nita said once all the scratches were completely healed. She watched with concern as Nero lit up her stomach to check on the twins, when he gave her the nod she relaxed. "I'm just glad the twins are all right." She said quietly. Chel raised an eyebrow, "So you already know you're having twins? Huh...that's weird." She said with a frown.

Nero shot a glance at Chel before he pulled back and crossed his arms. "Do you have a comment about everything?" He gave her an annoyed glare and leaned back against the wall, his muscles tense. "So if you're going to stay, where should I keep you? The attic? Or better yet, outside? But I suppose I could be nice and give you you're own room. But only if you ask me nicely." A grin crept onto his at his own words. If he had to tolerate this little girl, he'd make it fun. Nita could scold him all she wanted but he had to entertain himself if he was going to be able to stand it. Nero snapped his fingers and a female servant appeared by his side. Her eyes were pitch black and knelt before him, Nero merely waving his hand for her to drop the formalities. "She will take you to your room. It's just across the hall from Nita's so you should feel..safe. I'll do my best to leave you alone."

Chel gave Nero a fake smile, "Oh you're hilarious, but I think I'd do better with my own room thanks. And since you want me to ask nicely, please let me stay in your creepy old mansion gramps I mean grandpa. Should I call you grandpa? I mean I prefer gramps, but uh-" She broke off when Nita nudged her and cleared her throat. Thankfully she was saved from having to try and continue when the maid appeared. "Just try not to spy on me when I'm undressing, I'd hate to break that nose of yours." Chel said with a wide smile over at Nero before she followed the maid on out. Nita gave Nero an apologetic smile, "You'll get used to it....I'd forgotten how blunt she could be." She admitted with a little laugh.

Nero rolled his eyes at her sarcasm and when she called him grandpa and gramps, he cringed. "Nero is fine. Don't call me those names." He never expected to see the day he'd have someone call him those names and just hearing them made him want to be sick. Being immortal made it easy to lose track of how old he was but until know, he never cared. Her words brought him out of his thoughts but before he could respond, she had left with his servant. He sighed and uncrossed his arms, a sudden relief washing over him when Chel finally left. At Nita's comment, he scoffed and sat on the bed next to her. "Is she always this exhausting? It's like having a teenage Naveen around again, I hate it." Chel was just a bundle of pure energy and she clearly spoke anything that was on her mind, even if she didn't think about it first. He ran his hands over his face before he looked over at her, a smirk coming to the corner of his mouth. "You owe me big time for this."
