And really she wanted someone to talk to about everything and gossip with and Isobel was her go to person for that.
Could she get Wesley to collect the twins? He probably could. He did actually get along with Louisa, so it did help. If it had been her mother she would've said no straight away. Not that she would trust her mother with the boys anyway. But would she want to leave him alone with them? Sure she trusted her husband, but their twins were a handful, and after today she didn't need him becoming stressed. "Maybe not tonight..." She mused, thinking about it. They'd both be tired, today was a big day. "He'll be tired, and you know how the twins are." They were little rascals. "Maybe at the weekend Tash." She didn't have any plans, so that could work.

And of course she was looking forward to meet him. Who wouldn't be?
"Babies?" He nodded slowly. "Yeah, I have some idea..." And by some he meant very limited. Children on a whole just weren't his thing so outside of his nieces who were thankfully older than babies, he didn't come into contact with many. "Boys or girls?" See? He could pretend to be interested. "And congratulations!" Most people had one kid but nooo, she went and had a whole two to add to the surplus population. Sigh. Women.
"Yup." Isobel nodded with a smile on her lips. Her boys might have been troublesome but she did love them unconditionally. "I just had them last month." She explained with a nod. It probably explained why she was concerned with leaving them on their home. She'd probably pop out to check on them during the day to just make sure that they were okay. "Boys." She was blessed with having a houseful of boys. Isobel had a feeling that would be interesting when the boys were older. "Thank you." She smiled. Well wasn't this man polite. "So are you looking forward to starting in the department?"

Wondering slightly how Wes was taking to being a father of twins, as well as if natash ahad mentioned meeting him in Scribbulus' during the break. At least they were boys, as he imagined it would have been even more amusing if the children had been girls. It wasn't his business, however, and especially not as Natasha had responded to his continued teasing. "Perhaps a bodyguard is necessary, or a shield charm," he replied with another nod. Still acting serious, even as he doubted anyone would truly have to be concerned with attacks by stationery. If they were, it only meant more work for himself in the long run, or MMAO. "Unfortunately, I can't say that I had. It's difficult truly taking a break from work, it seems," he continued, as she'd asked about the remainder of his holiday. Besides the amusing discussion with her in Diagon Alley.
Oh? He'd heard? But then Dorian did work on the same level of her husband so she figured news probably travelled fast. The whole ministry would probably know at some point or other. "Thank you." She'd have to remember to bring the twins up to level two at some point. Maybe when things weren't so busy and had settled down. She'd write herself a reminder when she got to her office. Ahh. Isobel grinned a little. "Not when you work in law enforcement." She mused with a shrug. She'd worked within the department enough to realize how much you couldn't switch off from the job. It was a nice change working in the mysteries. There was new demands, but not as much stresses. As much as she did miss getting the bad guys, she did have a soft spot for her department.
