Not too far from Diagon Alley sits a two story house where Cosgrach, Victoria, and her three children live. It's in the perfect spot to be close enough to get to the ministry and hangout with friends, but far enough to enjoy their private time at home. In this house the Culloden's will really find out what it's like to be a blended family.

Characters
Cosgrach Culloden-Starshine
Victoria Culloden, Bart Maroon, Alana Potter -Bazinga
Elisa Potter-Charely Potter

Scene One:

It's mid January and things are starting to get back to normal.. almost. Victoria is back at the ministry after a very nice winter break and honeymoon/first year anniversary trip with Cosgrach. Cosgrach and Bart are back at Hogwarts enjoying term. The twins are back to primary school. The only thing that isn't normal is how Victoria has been feeling and the surprise she has for Cosgrach.

StarShine · 03-08-2015, 09:35 AM

Cosgrach emerged from upstairs. With the help of Maddox, he had been getting better ar charms - and of course, he practised cleaning charms in his spare time to help Victoria. Surprisingly, although he was the potions master, her meals were still better than his, so he let her cook. Cleaning was HIS responsibility, though, and he was finally done with it just in time to hear the girl's question.

"Not for a while," he answered for Bart and smiled at them as he wrapped his hand around Victoria standing at the door. Bart would be a great big brother again, he knew it.

So... was it time to announce the big news or..?

Bazinga · 03-08-2015, 01:55 PM

Victoria felt the arm go around her and she rested her hand on his as it lay on her tiny forming baby bump. Leaning more against him she smiled at her children and then turned her head to look up at him. "This has been such a perfect day. I hate that you two have to go back." She was ready for summer to have her family with her everyday. Leaning up she kissed his cheek, "Thank you for cleaning. " She knew the efforts he made when he was at home and she truly did appreciate them.

Hearing her girls ask the well known Easter question she chuckled. "After dinner. It won't be too much longer." She checked the time. They would eat in about a half hour which gave them a good hour an a half before Charely would come for the girls. She always tired to keep on schedule. Taking his hand she moved towards the couch and sat down. "Hey guys, Cossy and I want to talk to you for a second. We have a little surprise." This was a bit exciting, she had to admit. She just hoped they all would think the news was as good as she did.

Alana laughed at her brother, he was so funny. She loved when he was around and when her bigger brother was around. She'd get to see Wade later though and the baby! YAY! She loved Teddy. Playing with her dolls hair she smiled, "Indy will do my hair like this later." She smiled at Elisa in a bit of a taunting way. Though for no reason at all, but her focus soon went back to Bart as he played with her doll and she moved her own doll closer.

A frown forming on her face when daddy Cos Cossaid they'd be leaving even if it wasn't for awhile. she didn't like that. She didn't want him to leave, but before she could say anything Mommy told them they had something to say. Where they going on a trip? Or maybe daddy cos cos wasn't going to go back this time. Yay! She got up and took off towards the couch climbing up and sitting next to her mommy. "What is it?"

Bart continued to play with Alana and Elisa, moving the doll towards them both. "Oh does she do your hair often?" He figured she did when they were around. He might have to go over later to hang with Luc if he got bored here. Hearing Cossy's voice he put down the doll real quick, not to be busted playing with little girl toys, though he knew he had been caught. Breath a word of this Cossy and their'd be a potion in the next batch of mom's cookies, he thought as he turned back to the girl. "Oh it will be okay, you are headed to your dad's anyway. So you won't miss me at all." Truth be told he didn't like leaving them either, but he had things to talk to Cinna about, so yeah, he was fine going back.

Looking over to his Mom and step dad he didn't rush over like Alana, but turned to focu on them more. A surprise? Maybe a vacation this summer, that would be nice. He hoped it was far, though he had Quidditch, so he wouldn't want to be gone too long.

StarShine · 03-10-2015, 07:58 PM

Cosgrach didn't answer back - he didn't want to think of leaving them yet. Instead, he smiled sweetly at her. "Of course." Of course he would clean. He lived in the house too, and he had to help with the house chores anyway.

He laughed at the girls, and followed Victoria to the couch. Good thing the girls were asking HER, because he would certainly eat WITH them and then eat the dinner TOO. He sat down next to her and didn't let go of her hand. He was too excited/nervous for this.

He . . . would tell them. He took a deep breath, looked into all of their eyes and said "You're going to have another sibling!" C-c-could he smile??? Because he WAS. And also he was emotional, excited and happy.

WERE THEY, TOO?

Charely Potter · 03-15-2015, 03:07 PM

Elisa liked what Bart was doing to the doll still. She decided to get one of her stuffed bunny rabbits for him to play as next. Indy will do my hair like this later. She turned her head to her sister, "She'll do mine like that too." Sticking her tongue out for no reason as well. Then Big brother Bart talked about them forgetting about him when their dad's. Elisa shook her head, "No waaay. We want you to come with us." Did she and Alana need to do their trusty sister not-letting-go hugs that Wade taught them? She was all for it too. Getting up on her two feet before Mommy called them over.

"..A surprise?" She blinked a little looking at her and Daddy CoCo. What sort of surprise was it? Wait. What? Another sibling. "Wooow!" She jumped a little. "When can we see them?" Was the owl on their way over to deliver them as they speak? Elisa wanted to know these things. They were going to be big sisters now!

Bazinga · 03-17-2015, 03:38 AM

Why did her sister just stick her tongue out at her? Alana glared and threw her doll at her. "Mommy!!! Elisa stick her tongue out." Though she was distracted by Elisa's next words and the sticking tongue out was forgotten, "Please Bart come to daddy's." He went over there even if daddy wasn't his. He hung with Luc, so it was okay.

Her brown eyes focused on Daddy Cos Cos when he spoke and the words did not register. "What's a sibling?" Had she ever heard that word before? Though Elisa seemed to know what it was. She looked at her. "People coming over?" Like a birthday party? She jumped up and ran to the window, but no one was there. Now she was really confused.

Bart couldn't help but just laugh at the girls. They were so funny at times, "Nah, I can't go over there. Plus Luc has to go back with me. I have to go find Cinna soon." They would have to just deal with him being gone, it wouldn't be much longer before summer.

Staying right at his place on the floor he looked over to Cossy and blinked at his words. "A what?" He knew what it meant, but it wasn't sinking in. "Thought you couldn't have anymore kids." Looking straight at his mother, this was weird. He was going to be 16 and they were expecting a baby. Turning his attention to his sisters he looked at Alana, "A baby, mum's going to have a baby." So the rugrats wouldn't be the rugrats anymore. "So how far along are you?" He knew to ask the question from the last time. He couldn't help but look at his sisters and remember how much he hated the last time and how close he came to not having them at all.

Yeah that was all he needed turning back to face his parents he gave a grin, "Cool, congrats." He wasn't sure he was that cool with it, but he'd let them believe he was.

Victoria might have been holding her breath for her children's reactions. First was Elisa and she smiled then Bart correcting Alana, "Well the baby is in my tummy right now, but we will all get to meet him or her in September. The healer is saying the sixth. Though it could be earlier, you both came very early." Way too early for her liking. Her eyes fell on little Alana and her mind went to the health issues at the beginning, but she was so strong now. It put a smile on her face.

Eyes moving to Bart as he spoke, she couldn't read his tone. Something about him all day seemed off, but she couldn't figure it out. She was always so worried about her oldest. A small smile crossed her lips as he finally spoke, "Thank you, that means a lot to know you are okay with this." She wanted to hug all of them. It could be time for that couldn't it?

StarShine · 04-27-2015, 06:20 PM

Cosgrach flood first to make sure everything was order before Helena (!!!!!!!!) and Victoria came back. He had been generally smiling since the birth, except when he was worried about his fathering skills. Everyone's reassurances aside, he had to live and see that he could handle a new born.

Making sure everything looked in order, he yelled at Bart and girls that they should come and see the babyyyyy!

Bazinga · 04-28-2015, 03:56 AM

She had only been gone for a few days, but Victoria felt like it was longer. She missed her girls and her own bed. It would be nice to be home with her newest daughter. As she stepped out of the fireplace she heard Cossy calling the children and smiled. It still seemed surreal that her family was so complete. He was so loving to all her children even if they were not his and now they had a child together. It was a perfect moment in the thirty eight year old's eyes.

Looking down at her infant she smiled sweetly, "Welcome home Helena" Making her way to the sofa, she knew the twins would be eager to see their new sister. It was always so hard at the hospital for children to visit, so their visit was very short. This would be better for them. Her brown eyes lifting as she heard them coming down the stairs.

"Yes I'm home." She chuckled at Alana, it was good to be home.

She was playing dolls in her room when she heard him. Cossy was home, did that mean mum was too? She adored her step father, but she missed her mommy. Jumping up "Come on Elisa, mommy's home!" Which if mommy was home meant baby was here. Zipping down the hall and almost colliding into her brother she giggled and kept running. The stairs were nothing to stop her as she jumped a few on her way.

Finally hitting the first floor, she bounced into the living room. "Mommy are you really home?" She wasn't just here to visit was she? She knew Cossy did that when school was in, but mummy never did that. So she'd be home for good now, at least Alana hoped so. Peering over her mom's shoulder she looked at her sleeping sister. "Why is she sleeping? I want to play with her." Remembering mommy said they couldn't play with a newborn she ignored it for now and just kept watching.

HE had been in his room doing stuff when he heard the familiar voice of his step father and professor. Getting up from his bed, he headed out in the hall just to almost run into his twin sisters. "Hey slow down" He didn't need any broken bones and give up the rest of the quidditch season.

Getting down the steps he stopped before getting to the couch. He had seen and held Helena at the hospital, so he'd let his little sisters have their time. "How you feeling?" He knew she seemed to be better then last time, but he still had a concerned look. He was certainly old enough to realize something didn't go right last time, but it all seemed normal for Helena, which was good.

StarShine · 04-30-2015, 08:54 AM

Cosgrach laughed at Alana and stood standing by Vic, a hand on her shoulder and eyes looking at Helena more than anywhere. She was just so small and it felt like the moment he looked away, something bad would happen to her.

"Alana," he said softly, "Helena's too little to play with you now. You've gotta take care of her as a big sis to be big like you!" Then they could play, but by then, he guessed the girls wouldn't really want to play with a baby anymore.

"Hey Bart," he said, and sat down by Victoria and smiled to himself. Life couldn't be any more perfect.

Bazinga · 05-02-2015, 02:26 AM

Taking a seat it was still a bit tiring to be up and about for too long, so she welcomed the comfort of their couch. Seeing the girls come next to her she smiled at them both. Chuckling at Alana's words. "Cossy is right. She's too small to play with right now, but I'll need both your help taking care of her. Do you think you can be mommy's big helpers?" She smiled at her husband next to her, she couldn't be happier at that moment. All four of her children home and healthy, her amazing love by her side. It was more then she could have ever thought possible.

Looking up at Bart she smiled, "I'm tired, but feeling fine sweetie." She could tell he was nervous and he had every right to be. He might have been off at school, but he knew what had happened with the twins. She reassured him as much as she could. Knowing they had just two weeks before her guys were back at school. Taking a breath she didn't want to think about that day yet.

Alana wanted to curl up on her mother's lap, but the baby was there. She didn't know how to feel about this. So instead she climbed up on Cos Cos lap. He's still hold her, right? She glanced over to see the baby, she was so little like one of her dolls. "Can I hold her?" She was four she was a big girl so maybe she could hold Helena. She looked at Cos Cos as he answered her question about playing and then her mother when she said she could help. "I help!" She was a good big helper!
"I missed you mommy." Though she got to be at her dad's while her mom was in the hospital so that was fun too. She loved daddy's house. "I missed you too Cos Cos." She hugged her step dad a bit needy for attention now that she wasn't the baby anymore with her sister.

Finding a seat on the chair across from the couch, Bart watched his family with his new sister. It wasn't anything new to him, but he was glad she was here. "Okay, just making sure." He did worry about her, but he'd be around to help out for the next two weeks if needed. "How you doing pops?" He knew Cossy was excited, first time dad and all.

StarShine · 05-02-2015, 12:16 PM

Cosgrach opened his arms for Alana to sit better, and then just held her there like he always did. It didn't occur to him yet that she could be jealous, because he THOUGHT little children liked babies. He smiled back at Vic. They were a family - the best one, if you asked him.

"Let's hold her together?" he suggested, glancing at Vic to see if this was a GOOD idea or if he should have directly said "No" to Alana in case she wanted to hold her on her own in the future. But... Vic wouldn't let that. Nuh uh. And anyway - ugh, no, he was overanalysing. Alana would see that she couldn't hold Helena on her own anyway. He had to relax and remind himself he could be a good dad.

Awww!

"I missed you too, babygirl," he said and huuuuugged her back. He couldn't believe HOW or WHEN it happened, but he rarely thought Alana wasn't really his daughter - the twins had just stole his heart like that. And he didn't know HOW, but instead of his love for others' getting weaker, his heart expanded to love Helena just as much.

A parent's heart was weird like that.

He smiled at Bart - a geniune, happy smile. "Great," he said, simply. Everything was perfect.

Bazinga · 05-04-2015, 05:10 PM

She smiled sweetly at Alana as she wanted to hold her sister and nodded as Cossy said about holding her together. "Put out your arms like mommy has hers." She waited for both Cossy and Alana to be ready before turning a bit and placing Helena in their arms. She watched them for a moment with a smile on her face. Her family just felt so complete, how she thought this was crazy to have another baby at her age, but now it all just made sense. "Elisa you can hold her next if you want." She knew both her girls would want their turns.

Looking up at Bart she smiled, "I haven't missed too much in the few days I've been gone?" She knew she hadn't been gone too long, but it seemed it didn't take long for her son to have something fully different going on his life.

Alana was very comfortable in Cos Cos lap and she beamed when her mommy said she could hold her sister. Nodding to her step father as he said they could hold her together. When the baby was placed into their arms she beamed. "Hi baby, I'm your big sissy!" She kept her eyes on the baby, "She's so small" Tryig to be a big girl she looked to Cos Cos, "She wooks like you." Remembering people always said she looked like her daddy or mommy at times, so she thought it might be the right thing to say.

Bart couldn't help but chuckle at his sister. She was just so excited and he thought it cute to see them wanting to hold the baby. Getting up he moved to the mantle and grabbed the camera. Taking some pictures of his sisters with the new baby and his parents.

StarShine · 05-08-2015, 08:46 PM

Okay, Mama had confirmed his idea, so Cosgrach readied his hands to hold Helena with Alana. Was she happy with it? How about Helena? Could she... register it was her sister, or..?

Questions that he could never answer.

Well, Alana introduced herself anyway, so Cosgrach smiled to himself. It was a great thing that twins and Bart had been excited for another sister. He nodded at Alana.

"She needs a looooong time to be big like you," he said - four years weren't long for him, but he bet they felt like ages for children.

...okay, he wasn't expecting THAT and he laughed. "Why, thank you I guess," he said. No, he knew Alana could see that the baby looked like NOTHING at all. Babies didn't even resemble human for the first few months. But Alana was cute, and he made a mental note to kiss him for that later.

Oooooooh, picture time!

"Cheeeeeeeeeese." HEHEHE.

Bazinga · 05-10-2015, 03:54 PM

Bart took a few more pictures of his family as they greeted his new sister. It was kind of fun watching them. He liked seeing his mother so happy, though he worried about her. Since he was eight he worried more and more about her. Standing and putting the camera back on the mantel he walked towards the kitchen. “I’m going to make some food for the girls and myself, do you two want anything?” He couldn’t cook, no he left that to Cinna and his mum, but he could make little things. He knew there was some lunch meat so he could do sandwiches.

Alana was holding her sister and she didn’t care about anything else right now. Though she did smile at the camera when Bart would say cheese. Giving him a big cheesy grin and giggling hearing Cos Cos say cheese. “Cheese” Though she didn’t like the long time talk, “but I want to pway with her now.” Why were babies so little when she wanted to play? She was too busy cooing over her little sister to hear him say anything about I guess. “Elisa look at her hair.” She had dark hair which was funny to Alana, “My babies don’t have hair.” Why didn’t her baby dolls have the hair that Helena had?

Looking up at her brother as he said about food she grinned, “Cheese sanmwich please.” She loved cheese sandwiches. “Helena like a sanmwich too.” Bart would make her one too, wouldn’t he? She had to eat.

Victoria watched as Cossy and Alana held Helena smiling at them. It was all too much and she felt tears of joy hitting her eyes. Emotions were so hard right now, she wanted to control them, but she just couldn’t. Smiling at the camera she chuckled at her son. He was such a great brother and had come so far in her eyes. She couldn’t believe he’d be a sixth year this year. Where did the time go. “I still want you two guys to get the most out of your summer, before you have to go back to school.” She hated that they were going to go, but she didn’t want them, especially Bart, to feel obligated to just sit around the house either. She’d need some help with the older girls while she wasn’t allowed to lift things, but when they were at Charely’s she’d been sleeping to keep up with Helena’s schedule as much as she could.

Looking towards Bart she gave him an appreciative look, “Something to eat would be lovely Bart thank you. I think Grandma and Grandpa will be over later to help with dinner and visit with all of you.” Her parents were always an amazing help and knew they’d be eager to jump in with their newest granddaughter.

StarShine · 05-10-2015, 04:30 PM

Cosgrach was trying to come up with a way to satisfy Alana. How much did she enjoy stories, again? He couldn't remember, but it was worth a shot.

"How about we tell her a story?" he said, "you, I and Elisa can play with your dolls to illustrate the story, and she can listen to it. Bet she'd love that." He was actually a terrible story teller, so he hoped Alana wouldn't want HIM to tell it. He'd just play the role she'd give him. Meanwhile, he completely missed Vic's tears, but looked at her when she spoke.

"I'm sure we're enjoying the summer," he said a grinned. He'd babysit whenever Bart wanted to go out. Actually, he probably should tell that to him directly when they weren't holding Helena...

He didn't say anything about a sandwich for Helena, but rather said "Yeah, whatever you can make would be nice." He wasn't too picky about food, and he wouldn't torture Bart by wanting a complex sandwich.

Oh, they were going to get parent food for dinner? SWEET.

Bazinga · 05-20-2015, 02:45 AM

Alana looked at Cos Cos as he said about a story, “Can I pick the book?” She loved picking the book! Helena could get off her now, she was done holding her sister. Looking at her mother she moved her hands that way, forcing Cos Cos too. “Take Helena Mommy, we tell story” Once Helena was gone she jumped out of his lap and ran to get a book. They were even going to get to play dolls. YAY!! Best day ever! “Here” She handed him the book she had picked and then went to grab a doll.

Victoria watched as her daughter misunderstood her husband, but chuckled at her excitement. Taking Helena back so that the baby wouldn’t be in the way of the four year olds, she watched as Alana ran off. “They just adore you, you know?” She looked at Cosgrach with loving eyes. “You are wonderful to them. I love you so much.” The emotions still overwhelming her, her tears formed again. Holding Helena close she wiped her eyes, before seeing her daughter come back. “I think Helena would love a story from all of you.” It was probably getting close to feeding time, so her youngest daughter would soon be waking up.

She glanced towards the kitchen hoping Bart was doing alright, she had never trusted him in her kitchen. “Bart do you need any help?” She could manage getting up and going to help if he needed it, though she was feeling pretty drained from the day. Not being one to ever enjoy down time, she knew the recovery of delivery was never one she was good at.

Bart was already in the kitchen when he heard Cossy say anything would be fine. Checking the fridge he found some Ham and lettuce, so he began making the sandwiches. Adding some mayo, cheese, and pickles he thought it was perfect for all of them. Grabbing a plate, he piled them on and headed back to the living room. “Alana what are you all excited about?” He saw her with a book and then her doll. She would never be this happy for a nap, so he was a bit confused as to what was going on. “Ham sandwiches for everyone.” If they wanted anything else, he figured they’d say.

StarShine · 05-21-2015, 11:02 AM

Cosgrach opened his mouth answer Alana, but she was gone to pick the book anyway. He chuckled at her enthusiasm. So, they also handled Helena over to Vic. Okay.

He looked at Vic, and felt like his heart could explode. They just adore you, you know? "I hope... I will be more than just a step dad when they grow up and look back," he said as he moved to kiss her cheek. The girls meant the world to him, even though they weren't biologically his. He knew the tears were of happiness, so he didn't try to wipe them. She wiped them anyway before Alana came, and he smiled at her.

"Let's see which book you have," he said as he opened the book she picked, but was distracted by Bart.

"Thank you, son," he said, put the book aside to eat and grabbed a sandwich. He'd tell a story to Helena with girls and dolls right after this sandwich. His family... he'd never felt so happy and complete in his life.

Bazinga · 05-22-2015, 01:40 PM

After Victoria finished eating a small cry made her aware it was someone else's turn to eat. So leaving the kitchen she went to feed Helena. In the quiet living room she sat in the rocker and looked down at her new baby daughter smiling. It was just surreal that she was back at this stage again. She didn't think she'd be having another baby, "You are certainly our little miracle child." She leaned down kissing the infants head.

Looking up she saw the twins come running into the living room and then off to their bedrooms, the book forgotten for now. With the newness of the baby a bit older now, she figured they'd go off and play on their own. Her eyes lifting just as Helena had finished eating she saw her son coming into the room. "Thank you so much for making us some lunch." She watched as he headed for the fireplace, "Have fun and don't be gone too late." She knew he was sixteen and didn't want to hang around the house, but she had just gotten home, so she'd like them to all be together a for a little bit.

Though some quiet time with just Helena and her husband might be nice as well. Brown eyes went back to Helena as she started to cry. "What's wrong little one?" She just ate so she couldn't be hungry.

StarShine · 05-29-2015, 06:01 AM

Now that everyone was a bit calmer, Cosgrach just leeeeaned back on the couch until it was only Vic, him and... a crying Helena.

Okay no panic no panic no panic -

"Whatisit?" Was she HURT? WHY DIDN'T VIC KNOW?

Bazinga · 05-31-2015, 01:38 AM

She looked down at her fussy little baby and thought about a few things that could be going on. Her attention moved to her husband as he asked her what was going on. She smiled knowing he was a bit jumpy with a newborn, [b] "It's alright, I think you could just be a little gassy."[b]

Vic laid Helena down on the couch and took her feet into her hands. Gently she moved the baby's legs close to her tummy and back out straight again. Repeating this a few times she smiled as the baby's cries grew quieter. "There we go, are we better now?" Lifting the newborn up and kissing her face, she held her close.

The day was beginning to wear on the new mom as she leaned against her husband and let a yawn escape her lips. "I might need to lay down soon and try to nap a little." Leaning she kissed Cossy's cheek. He wouldn't mind if she slept, would he? She had just gotten home from having their daughter and all. "I think she needs a diaper change before nap time though, would you want to do it?" She didn't mind doing it, but she figured she'd ask him first.

StarShine · 05-31-2015, 04:56 AM

Oh, gassy. Hmm. How did one get the gas - oh, holding her tiny cute feet, and... Cosgrach watched intently as if his life depended on it. Yeah, they were definitely better now and Cosgrach smiled a little. He felt a little sleepy too, so he nodded at her. Would Helena sleep? That was the question, because last time he checked, babies cried 24/7, though his babygirl had been good about that so far

Wait, diaper?

He blinked as if that was a word he was hearing for the first time. "I - yeah," he stammered, "but you've gotta show me."

Diaper... what? Wasn't ther a magic for it?

Bazinga · 05-31-2015, 05:57 PM

He was quiet, she looked at him a little concerned. Maybe he was just as tired as she was. It had been a long few days. The birth wasn't long, but him going back and forth from home to the hospital probably had been. She was so lucky to have him be so good to her and her children.

Looking down at her infant she smiled as she noticed Helena was already close to sleep. "Alana and Elisa aren't going to like the first few months. This is all she really will be doing." It was funny how they slept so much, but could wake up with a start if something was wrong or hunger kicked in. She thought about her other three children with this.

"Oh I bet you would do fine, but sure I can show you." The hospital stay was a bit of a blur, so she felt a little bad that she hadn't shown him there. She grabbed the diaper back and pulled out the wipes and diaper. Setting Helena in between them and smiling, "It's very easy really. All you do is take the old one off." Showing him how as she went. "Take a wipe and clean her up and then put the fresh one on." As she attached the little Velcro side and snapped her baby's sleeper back up she looked to Cossy, "Easy enough, right?" The man was a brilliant potions professor she just knew he'd be fine at diapers.

StarShine · 06-08-2015, 03:51 PM

Wait, so the rumours that the babies didn't let the parents sleep were... rumours? That Helena would usually sleep? Well... Cosgrach didn't hide his grin, because he did want to sleep, thank you very much. And a few months later, Helena would understand a simple 'sleep' command a few months later, yes? SWEET.

"Raising a kid sounds easy, actually," he even said, but got serious when it was time for some business. He got up and stood beside her to see better.

...

"It looks simple, yes," he said after a moment. "I could... try next time." Maybe. He didn't really want to deal with it, but...

"Now that Helena -" yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn, "- Helena's sleeping too, shall we sleep?" Hmm?

Bazinga · 06-10-2015, 08:25 PM

She couldn't help but eye him a little at his comment about easy. "Define your term of easy Mr. Culloden." She gave him a little joking smile, "New born babies are very easy, unless they form colic. They sleep most of the time, but are up every two hours wanting to eat. So they will let you sleep, but only on their schedule and with you going back to school and me having two other children here, that won't be much."

Next time?

More eyeing, was it the hormones or was he being really a man right now? She had just had the baby, but sure she'd get up to change her and all.

Pulling off the diaper she had just been talking him through, Victoria cleaned up her daughter and put a fresh diaper on. "Once she is a little older she will hopefully sleep more, but it all depends. She'll be more awake around three months and watching everything, Merlin help me when she gets to the crawling stage with the other girls. She'll want to be doing anything they are, but still be too little." It will be cute to watch for the most part though she knew that.

Getting up she looked around the empty house she made sure things were in order and then turned her eyes back to her husband. "Yes that's probably a good idea. The bassinet is by the bed so we can put her in there with us."

It was late, really late and Victoria was up. She yawned as she bounced Helena trying to get her to calm. The eight month old had been fussing off and on all day and she didn't seem to want to sleep at all. What was going on with her Victoria wasn't fully sure, but she assumed she was teething. "Are those awful teeth bothering you sweaty? " She hated her being so upset, but she tried to comfort the best way she could.

Taking the teething ring she flicked her wand to refreeze it and handed it back to the infant. "Mommy need to work tomorrow, you have to sleep soon baby girl." She moved towards her planner and opened it to see if she might be able to take half a day just in case this was going to be never ending.

Alana was happily sleeping in her nice big comfy bed. She was so cozy and smiling as she dreamed about candy and horses, but that was until she was forced awake by that noise. She hated that noise even if it came from her little sister. It was always keeping her awake.

Getting out of bed she headed down the stairs, "Mommy tell her to stop. I can't sweep." She frowned and rubbed her eyes.

Cosgrach emerged from the room in a zombie-like state. He wasn't the guy you'd wake up. He never got angry at Helena, Vic and the twins (although he would be very furious at others) for it, but he clearly wasn't happy either. Eyes barely open, his voice croaked: "You sleep, I'll take care of her." He didn't have any morning classes, thankfully, and Alana was here to help him too.
