Warren was up, doing some accounting work making sure that all of the house's finances were in order.  While he wished that it was otherwise, this house needed legitimate money flowing through it to keep everything going.  Some of the puppies would have to be shipped out in a few days and if the futures market held steady, that would be more money in the bank.  Money they needed now that he had an extra guest in the house.  A guest who had been more sensitive than he had supposed.  After the first operation she had fallen into a deep sleep.  While he had been checking up on her daily, she slumbered away.<br/><br/>Warren had to assure Maria, Ali was going to awaken and then yes he would allow her time to play with Ali.  But that was three days ago, Maria constantly checked in on Ali, that he did know.  Well, he would have to go down and check on Ali and make sure the IVs were doing their job.  Warren got up and put away the books.  After that?  He would have Maria tend to his needs.  He was out in the hallway when he ran into Maria who looked excited.  'What's the matter Maria?'
