Well she did ask her after all, and Egypt never grew tired talking about her children, and now she had two more to gush about to anyone who wanted to know. Reagan was more beautiful when she smiled. She knew she had very little to smile about with the Minister and his wife recking havoc in her life, but she needed to smile a little more. "Me and my husband are expecting another set of twins." She beamed. She was positively happy about it, even if Nathan still looked shell shocked about it.
Egypt watched as Reagan seemed to deflate when she mentioned the recent ministry events. "I am always at your disposal." She told her honestly. It was impossible not to feel a bit happier around this woman, who so clearly was filled with joy. It made Reagan's heart a bit lighter and her burden a bit less. Upon hearing the news, Reagan grinned and responded genuinely, "Oh that is amazing news! Congratulations! When are you due? Oh wow, it is so good to hear about new life being brought into this world, especially when others have left it so recently." Reagan thought of the French Minister and how senselessly his life had ended. She tried not to let the anger and sadness overpower the happiness she felt for Egypt.
She smiled once more, "Such is the circle of life! And did you say another set of twins? You already have one pair?" Reagan hadn't known the woman was a mother at all, let alone a mother of twins! Reagan stared in awe at this woman who managed to balance her home life and work life so well. She was capable of gaining success and didn't have to sacrifice having a family. I suppose I chose a different path, but I must admit, what I wouldn't give... Reagan sighed softly.
Trying to ignore her longing, Reagan used her reason for being in Egypt's office as a distraction, "Thank you for agreeing to assist me. With the recent..." Reagan swallowed, "events, I'd like to reinforce and possibly increase the security measures surrounding the Minister's Office. While that woman has been captured, it won't be long before the rumours spread and the Daily Prophet reports on our Ministry's blunder. People will assume our security is weak here, and those who want Cooper out of power, well, I'm afriad they may plot to reach him... and hurt him. Maybe even kill him. We obviously cannot allow that to happen. So, the long and short of it is, I was hoping you could increase the protections surrounding the Minister's Office, as soon as possible."
