Was he forgetting that he was on the ministry too? He was crazy too, sometimes. Beezus snorted at the thought then smiled at her friend at his question. "Are you kidding? Of course I want to have my own kids. It's just that...I can't." Yeah, yeah. It meant exactly as it sounded.

"Fraternl twins, huh?" Beezus made kissy faces at Noah because he was trying to grab all over her face. "You're lucky, Dred." Not only because he had twins but also because he looked truly happy. She could see the evidence of years passed on his face but they seemed like great, happy years and for that she was glad.

After helping his father a bit with his socks, the brunette went back to playing with Noah and was still getting him to say her nickname when he heard Mordred mention his wife's name. Beezus spared him a glance with a, "Hmm?" Was Sophie there? She hasn't seen that girl in such the longest time and she sure was getting excited over the knowledge that she might see the other twin earlier than she expected. "Is Soph-" Beezus started to say but was cut off when a woman with a baby in tow came flying, almost literally, towards her friend and began screaming his head off.

Sophie?

Whoaaaa...this was...unexpected. Somewhat a toss between awkward and hilarious that she couldn't help burying her face on Noah's neck as she laughed soundlessly, not noticing that the Daycare lady was watching the three, or five of them. "Oh my Godric." Poor baby sounded like he was getting started at this outburst from his mommy but was still reaching out for her nevertheless. Should she help Mordred? Nah, he seemed to have it all under control so Beezus lifted her head, swallowed most of her chuckles and cleared her throat. N'aww there was Catherine. Hold on, baby girl. Aunt Beezus will be with you in a while. Beaming and waiting for Sophie to turn around, she greeted her other friend and the mother of these wonderful children,"Hey, Soph."
"Exactly the reason why you need me to help you out. Sniff out the crazy ones, because one crazy person in a relationship is enough." Yes, he's actually calling Sophie- his wife- crazy. The beautiful crazy kind that makes him laugh, frustrated, but feel loved above all. He would love Beezus to end up with such a man, you know. A part of him knew that Bee didn't go through an easy time growing up after Hogwarts as well. But...what about her not having kids? "...oh." Mordred hung his head and didn't think that infertility can be one of the reasons. Wait, is that even her case? "Have you been to the Healers? Maybe they can help you out." There must be an innovative potion out there for women and men who can't produce because of physical limitation...right?

Mordred tilted his head in thought, and nodded in agreement. "I am lucky...and for that, I am grateful." Life wasn't easy for him even if he didn't need to lift a finger to earn a living. He'd gone through a lot which he didn't want to go through again, but at that point, he was thankful for the life lessons that came his way. It made him appreciate his blessings, and even found a new purpose in life. It made fatherhood more exciting for him.

She started speaking fast again, going on about her son being missing when her husband turned her around. She trailled off when she saw Noah himself making grabby hands at her. Sophie had never sighed with so much relief. "Oh, thank Merlin you're safe!" HE WAS SAFE! She could breathe again.

It was only after she had him in her arms and snuggled him as tightly yet gently as she could that she took a better look at who had been holding him. Just in time for the other woman to greet her as well. The stranger knew her name...

And... the stranger looked - and sounded - familiar. REALLY familiar.

Sophie's eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hand as she GASPED. "BEE!?" WHAT? HOW? WHEN? WHAT? The brunette would've flailed hadn't she been holding her son. That didn't stop her from shouting pretty much into the child's year. Sorry, baby. "AAAHHHHH, BEEZUS, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" And with that, the Charms Developer quickly shifted Noah to her side and gave her school friend the tightest of hugs with her now free arm.

Panic, what panic? Sophie was DELIGHTED to see Beezus!! And baby boy was clearly used to mama's crazy outbursts of happiness because no crying came from him this time despite the shouting. He had watched her interact with Ella way too many times.
As much as he hate to admit it, Sophie did make his heart race for a moment. Anything that has to do with her...or with their children being in danger would drive him to panic mode too. Only, he has mastered to mask the emotion to prevent other people from taking advantage of it. See, if he made his emotions known, it would’ve sent a wrong signal to on-lookers such as the daycare lady behind the counter.

Mordred grinned as Noah snuggled his mummy back and began eating her hair as Sophie started talking to Beezus. With the deranged mother now calm and being herself again, Mordred went back to comforting Catherine. The dragonologist can imagine his daughter’s distress after side-apparating and be bounced around going to the Ministry. He’d have to talk to Sophie about it soon...

“Alright then...you two talk for a while...”
he said above Catherine’s wails. “I have to get this baby calm first...” Mordred excused himself from the two and brought his daughter with him as he approached where Athena was standing. “Catherine look, there’s another baby over there...” the dragonologist gently coaxed his daughter to see Athena’s charge...who was also crying. Catherine turned with tear-stained cheeks and pretty much ignored the other baby.

At least she wasn’t crying anymore.
