Frustratingly though, it had happened anyway and had put a strain on his relationship with Rhea, but things had been looking better of late. Even moreso now that Ben was coming home.
Hands deep his pockets, he spotted the boy before he saw Sophia. “There's the little fella.” He said brightly to his fiancée. He sauntered over, scooping Ben up in his arms and kissing his cheek. “Hey, mate!” He grinned. Merlin, it was good to see him. His gazed shifted to Sophia... who looked terrible. Old terrible. Age was not being kind on the woman.. but Dylan chose to be kind in not mentioning it. Was she stressed? “Sophia.” He nodded at the woman.
Bentley giggled as his father scooped him up and planted a kiss on his cheek. He wiped the kiss off but hugged his dad back around the neck anyways. "I missed you daddy." He said brightly while holding on perhaps a little too tightly to his dad's neck and his mummy. He started reaching for her. He'd missed her too.
Rhea beamed brightly as her eyes landed on her first born. Was it just her or had he grown a little bit in the few months that they had been a part. Must be something in the Hogwarts food. She smiled as she watched him reunite with his father and her eyes fell on to her mother, who really did look dreadful. She couldn't understand why she looked that way considering her uncle was older than her mother and he didn't look a day over thirty. She took Bentley as he reached for her and snuggled him. "Mummy?...Your hair..." She was grey...
Sophia frowned as Bentley was so rudely snatched up by Dylan. Muggle-borns. Ugh...she scoffed and turned up her nose. He didn't even give her time to properly say good bye to the little tot.
"Dylan.." She said returning his greeting coldly. And Rhea, she was growing even more beautiful the older she got but she was still a fool and a huge disappointment to her. "My hair is fine, just trying a new look and you can call me Mrs.Bellaire now, thank you." Now that she was going to give up the name and for what? To take on the surname of a muggleborn. So disappointing.
"Come kiss grandma goodbye Ben Ben." She opened her arms for the little boy.
