He also needed to find time to spend with his mate and children, too. "And here I thought my job would get easier with time," he muttered.
Grant shrugged. "It still may. With all your family settled down, they should cause less stress."
Placing a hand on Grant's shoulder, he squeezed. "It's nice to have another levelheaded male in the family." Moving his hand, he chucked wee Jamie's chin. "And I suspect you may be one, too, if your father has anything to say about it. Fergus is usually the most logical one." He met Grant's gaze again. "Speaking of which, the frenzy is still on, aye?"
Grant smiled. "Judging by some of the noise complaints, aye, it is and going well."
"Good. Now, let's head back in. It's time for wee Jamie to meet his newest cousins."
Finn turned around, but Dr. Sid's voice filled his ear. "Finn, a word."
He motioned for Grant to go on ahead into Fraser and Holly's room. Once he was alone with the doctor, he quirked his brows in question.
Sid didn't hesitate. "I have the test results back. Freya is indeed allergic to a number of ingredients, but none of them were in the formula she ate."
His heart stopped beating a second. "Then what's going on?"
"I'm not entirely certain, but Gregor just got off the phone with a colleague in one of the Australian clans—Mirrorbluff. Apparently, two of their bairns have also had flashing dragon eyes. And before you ask, no, they're not sure about why it's happening, either. But at least this tells us that it's not just Freya."
"Gregor is reaching out to other clans as well?" Finn asked.
"As we speak. As soon as I find out more, I'll let you know. For now, just try to keep Freya calm and immediately report any changes in her behavior. I can't really try anything else until I have more information."
As Sid turned back the way she came, Finn took a second in the empty hallway to rub his face. He said to his dragon, The doctors on Stonefire have just started producing successful antidotes to the drug that turned dragon-shifters rogue or even took their memory. And just when we're ahead, something else pops up.
It could be connected. But until the doctors find out more, we need to focus on the clan and family. There are many ways to protect them, and we can't neglect any of them.
Aye, aye, I know, dragon. Let's enjoy Fraser and Holly's twins for a bit longer before we tell Ara what Sid disclosed.
Just don't wait too long. Ara deserves to know. With the new knowledge, she may even have a suggestion of why it's happening.
After taking a deep breath, Finn smiled and went back into his cousins' room. The new parents didn't deserve any extra stress, so he'd have to find a way to draw Arabella into a private room without raising suspicion.
His dragon snorted. Good luck. Aunt Lorna sees everything.
Ignoring his beast, he went to Arabella's side and tried to think of how to do it.
Chapter Nine
As soon as Finn returned to her side, Arabella sensed the tension in his body. Something had happened.
So after oohing and aahing for about five minutes, she managed to beg Melanie and Tristan to watch the triplets for a short while and all but forced Finn into a private room. The second the door clicked closed, she stated, "Tell me what's going on."
"No keeping anything from you, is there? You would've made a good interrogator."
"Finn," she growled.
With a sigh, he dropped the facade. "When I was talking with Grant in the hall, Dr. Sid showed up."
"And? What did she say?"
"Freya does have a few allergies, but none of them were in the formula. However, two bairns in Australia have shown similar symptoms as hers, with their dragons showing up extremely early and even taking control for a bit."
"Is there anything either the bairns or parents have in common?"
"I don't know. You'd have to ask Sid and Gregor that."
She raised her chin and took his hand. "Then let's find Sid and ask her while we have the chance."
