"How about...the garden," Kat said triumphantly. "Daddy never got to see
that before."
<okay, thanks,> she thought back relieved. "I guess we could go to my room
if you really want to. Daddy can see the garden from the window I guess."

Julia took Kat's hand and closed her eyes, concentrating. It only took a
split second and they were in Kat's room.
For the moment and to conserv energy, Julia dropped the field about her that
would keep her invisible and sat on a chest at the foot of Kat's bed, even
as Patrick started to move to sit on the side of the bed and look around.
"I see the garden all the time, Kat," Patrick smiled gently "Every time you
go there."
He was about to sit down and pat the spot next to him when he heard Rachel's
call -- almost right outside Kat's room.
"Uh oh." he said, looking at Kat with a raised eyebrow, knowing his wife's
tone well enough to know that Rachel was upset about something. He put his
fingers to his lips and stood, going over to the corner of the room and
disappearing from view.
Julia looked at Kat, not wanting her to be upset thinking they were leaving
her "He's still here but the other's can't see them... will you be okay if
I..."
She looked at the doorway, knowing Rachel and Derek were both there and
hesitating herself. She couldn't very well leave Kat and make her think
that she and her dad had run out on her but Julia didn't want to be seen
by....
