Pyxis wasn't sure if Rider or Walden had gotten word about what had been happening. But, after three intense discussions with Snape over the last two days, he'd decided it was time to let her go. Go. In the letter that had been delivered to her that morning, it had explained that she would still be living near the facility, in a flat paid for by her own family, but that it was somewhat of an assisted living. Where nurses would come visit her often.

And to top it all off, Rider was going to be living with her. On a monitored basis with a cuff around his ankle. She stared at the letter for a long time, before she'd even decided to go to Rider. They had to take baby classes together and everything.

She stood at his door, terrified, wondering what Walden was going to think. And then knocked on Rider's door.

	Pyxis looked up when Walden came into the room. Immediately, she pulled away from Rider and stood up, looking up at him. All of the fear came rushing back immediately. "Hey.." She gave him a small smile. "What do you want to talk about? I was afraid you'd be really mad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Why would I be mad?" Walden asked. He glanced at Rider and then moved over to Pyxis, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close to his chest. He looked down at her and smiled. "This is great news, Pyxis. You're going to be out of the hospital. I'll be able to take you out and show you off to my friends." He kissed her softly. "You can meet my mother."

Rider rolled his eyes at Pyxis and Walden cuddling each other and leaned back against his pillows. "You're not going to take her to meet our dad? Dunno that I blame you. As far as I know, he's a prick."

	Pyxis closed her eyes and leaned into Walden for a moment. He wasn't angry with her. She kissed him softly, her fingers brushing against her cheek, but then she was laughing at Rider's comment. She glanced at him. "You should meet your father. I'll invite him over for pot roast." Pyxis grinned and then looked up at Walden. "Are you really happy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Of course," Walden said, touching Pyxis's cheek and kissing her again. He wasn't sure how he felt about Rider and his father being in a house with Pyxis, but he'd probably be invited too. "You're getting out of here. Even if you weren't my girlfriend I'd be happy for you, but you are, so I'm thrilled."

Walden smiled down at her. "I should tell you about what your schedule is going to be like outside. You're going to have regular doctor's visits and you and Rider are both going to come here for therapy sessions once or twice a week." He tucked a bit of hair behind her ear. "Your brother arranged the flat for you."

	"My brother must think he's a superhero. Arranging flats for both Pansy and I." Pyxis snorted and leaned into Walden's touch. He was so kind and gentle and she was such a slut. She rested a hand on his cheek. "That sounds easy." Pyxis replied. "Do I have to take a cooking class too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You can take one if you'd like, but you're not recovering from an eating disorder so we're not going to make you take them," Walden said, smiling at Pyxis. "You just need to go to your therapy and keep up with your medication." He kissed her softly, then looked up at Rider.

"Your situation is a bit more complicated," he told him. "Your monitoring anklet will mean you're on a 100 metre leash around the building. It's about building up trust and proving you can live a stable life. Your medication might be increased for the first few weeks, to help you through the transition, and then we'll work on getting you enrolled in classes and transitioned back into ordinary life. You'll be on a curfew as well."

Rider shrugged. "Fine," he said. "I don't really care as long as I get to get out of here for a while."

	"And you said you'd never get out of here." Pyxis stuck out her tongue at Rider and smiled. "You're welcome." She looked back at Walden for a moment, then leaned in and kissed him softly. "I've already packed up my stuff." She informed him. "When do I get to leave?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Walden laughed softly. "You could go today if you don't want to wait for Rider to get set up. The tracking company is coming tomorrow to attach his anklet. Maybe I could help you move in today and then tomorrow you can come back and help Rider?" Walden wanted to get her alone.

Rider knew Walden was jealous of him. It would probably be in his best interests to convince the other man that he should be. "You should go," he told Pyxis. "You can make sure there's real good when I get there tomorrow."

	Pyxis looked at Rider and rolled her eyes. "I'll make sure your bed is feather stuffed with golden goose feathers as well." She told him and then leaned in, kissing his forehead. She took Walden's am and led him into the hallway. "Have you seen my place? Do you have the address?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wallie 2012-11-18 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	"I haven't seen it, but I know the address," Walden told Pyxis. "You're in the same building as Pansy and Draco. If you ever want to visit them. I didn't want to say anything about that to Rider." He walked towards Pyxis's room. "We'll put your things in my car and I'll drive you over. It's not that far from the hospital." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyxis 2012-11-18 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Ooo la la. I get to ride in your car?" Pyxis asked as she led him into her own room and shut the door behind them. She smiled at him and pushed him against the door, kissing him softly. "I suppose this skirt will come in handy today." Pyxis replied as she picked up her bag and smiled at him. "In case you want to get handsy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Walden looked Pyxis over and tried not to push her back and claim her as his own. "I'm going to be jealous of you and Rider," he confessed. "The idea of the two of you living together is... I don't know." He kissed Pyxis again. "I trust you, though. I just want to be honest. Do you want me to carry your bag?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyxis 2012-11-18 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	Pyxis sighed softly and looked at Walden. "I'm having your child. I'm dating you. I'm kissing you and shagging you. You don't have to be jealous." Even if he did need to be a little jealous. She kissed him and then glanced at the door. "I'm ready when you are, Sir." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not something I can help," Walden told Pyxis. He kissed her again and then opened the door. "After you," he said. "I'm really happy for you, Pyzis. Despite the jealousy. This is a big step and you're ready for it." He squeezed her shoulder as he led her down the hall. "I did talk to Snape a few times about how I thought you were ready to get out of here."

	"I'm sure there was nothing selfish about it." Pyxis teased as she walked down the stairs. And then she stopped when she got to the front doors. All she could do was stare at them. It was okay for her to walk outside. And she couldn't figure out how to do it. If she was even ready. She stood there, eyes wide. (Reply to this)(Parent)
