The blonde knew she would be telling him soon and she hadn't expected anything less then going to lunch so they could talk. Having had brought it up slightly earlier that day she knew her husband wouldn't be himself until he knew. So lunch together was it. A small smile tugged at her lips as she slipped into the seat that was pulled out for her. "Thank you my softhearted former Slytherin," she teased softly as she waited for him to sit across from her.
The thought of ordering their meal and starting to eat before she told him the news was lost the second Connor sat down. He was wasting no time in getting right to the point. Clearly he had to know. Addi smiled lightly her blue eyes lifting to meet his own as she reached to take hold of his hand. Lacing her fingers between his she felt years younger remembering the first and only time they had this conversation. It seemed so long ago and it was. Ten almost eleven years ago already. "Connor... I'm pregnant. We're going to have a baby." Calm voice. Nothing more then a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
Connor would take this well. Her husband loved kids and they had always wanted more then just one. Now they would. Koen would have a sibling.
Addi's comment to him made him smile, that easy- going grin lighting up his face. It certainly helped to cover any nervousness that may be showing. "You're still and always will be my brave Lion.'' It was true that he had been stonier during Hogwarts. As a matter of fact, he and Addison had disliked each other for a very long time. He had disliked her for being such a brainiac. One could say he had been jealous of her. Did Addison know? Yes, she did.
Connor fidgeted nervously in his chair and waited with bated breath for the news. He couldn't help being anxious. He watched Addison open her mouth to speak. She was going to say this wasn't going to work out and that him being gone for years had destroyed things between the- A BABY????
The man sat there speechless for a second, his mouth hanging open somewhat.
"You're pregnant?" he suddenly burst out and not caring who heard. The man leapt out of his seat to scoop his wife into his arms. As if that wasn't enough, he spun her around in his arms. She had made him so happy!
"I'm so happy about this, Addi,'' he told her as he set her down before kissing her full on the lips.

"I'm so happy about this, Addi,'' he told her as he set her down before kissing her full on the lips.
And he had been such a worrywart.
"Being brave isn't always easy but I did my best," she whispered in reply knowing he would know full well what she was speaking about. Before either could be pulled into a path of sadness she smiled at him adding, "now it doesn't matter what I am since you're exactly where you belong." Right at her side where he had been since they had put aside their dislike of one another many years earlier.
Now it was her turn to waited with baited breath for her husbands reaction. The speechlessness Addi may have expected but what came along with it certainly wasn't and it had her laughing out loud in surprise. She didn't even answer until she was set back down onto her feet.
"I am," the blonde hummed softly against Connors lips when she had been kissed. "Only about five or so weeks but yes, come March or April we'll have a little baby added into our family."

Connor didn't mean to dwell on that part of their lives. He had actually meant that Addi was brave in general. "I am and will always be.'' He meant that seriously and had already told himself that he'd be more careful at work. He hadn't even stopped close to the Death Chamber...
He was on cloud nine. Yes! Connor was! This was the second best thing that had happened to him this year. Releasing her lips, the man smiled. "Now I'll have to take care of you more than usual. This means so extra hours of work, okay? You're going to have to eat right.'' He was going to take care of her just as he had when Addi was pregnant with Koen.
"I can't wait! I hope it's a little girl.'' Either way, he'd love their child. Connor set Addi down then led her back to her seat. "What will you have to eat?''

She knew he hadn't meant to bring that up and she didn't think it would happen. The memories were still very much fresh even if they were locked away in her mind and sometimes had a way of pushing themselves forward on her even if just for a second. Addi let out a slow breath and smiled at her husband. "I know you didn't, it's not your fault." He knew that, didn't he, that she didn't blame him for any of it?
The blonde laughed at the very clearly excited Connor standing before her. "I'm very healthy Con and I always eat right," she smiled lightly poking a finger at his chest. "It's you and our son that need to eat better." Uh-huh that's right she knew about their junk food habit. Hazel eyes were shining as she looked up at him. As for extra hours at work, that was tough. Being the Head of a department meant she had to make sure things got done. "I'll try. I can't just go letting things remain undone at work."
"A girl? Lot's of pink and pretty dresses." That would be a nice change of pace to mud, bugs and running around all the time. Addi settled herself back down into her chair with another smile. "Well I don't know, what am I 'allowed' to eat?" This was meant as a joke since he was the one that said she needed to eat healthy.

Connor knew they didn't blame him yet it never hurt to hear Addi and Koen reassure him. He loved his family even more for being this understanding. "I know you don't. I'm lucky to have such an understanding wife.'' That and one who understood how dangerous it was to work in the chambers of the Department of Mysteries.
Connor laughed. "That's right. You do.'' Him and Koen did have a lot of junk at times. "I'll limit your cravings then. I still remember you wanted lots of ice cream when you were pregnant with Koen.'' Addi sent him out in the middle of the night to get a tub of that once when they were all out at home. "I know. Tell you what. I'll do my best to help you so the work load isn't too much.'' He'd help in whatever he could since he knew he might not be able to do a lot since he was not Head of Department.
"Lots of those. She'll love all the girly things, pink...'' A little princess! Their family would be complete as they already had a prince. "Anything that's healthy. I'll let you have anything you want for dessert though.'' Connor was teasing back. He knew Addi would made the right choices without him.

It was the same for her even if she wouldn't voice it out loud. Knowing that Connor hadn't done anything on purpose and would never leave them of his own free well was very reassuring especially now after all these years. It was nice to know he still loved his family the way that he did. "I'm not always that way Con, you of all people know that but I'm trying my best." Blame it on the Gryffindor inside her.
Laughing. She was laughing. "That wasn't my fault. Ice cream was a big thing yes but remember all the nights I wanted chicken and steak with potatoes?" Like all the time. Several times a week. It must have drove him insane! Aaww he was the sweetest, how he was ever a Slytherin she wasn't sure anymore. "I know you will but I'll handle it, don't you worry about a thing. Plus I'm only a few weeks along." No need for him to act all crazy just yet. The blonde intended on working for as long as she was able to do so.
A sweet little princess would be wonderful but another tiny prince would be perfect as well. "Most definitely. I just hope Koen takes the news alright." He was ten already and going off to Hogwarts next year she was sure but in her eyes he was just a little boy still. One that she wanted to be just as happy about this news as they were. "Is that so? Is a nice chicken salad healthy enough?" she teased lightly eyeing him. It was salad yes? So what if there was chicken in it. As for dessert Addi gave her husband a bright smile. The man knew her all to well.

"I understand that you always try your best, Addi.'' Emphasis on the always. There was that laugh he loved! It had Connor laughing too. At her mentioned of steak and potatoes, he groaned. "Do I? I was the one who had to make it for you every time!'' He was not complaining though as he would instantly give into giving Addison whatever she craved. "You're the boss, Addi.'' Connor knew better than to argue with the wife when she had her mind made up. He loved her determination.
"I hadn't thought of that. You don't think he'll be jealous, do you?'' It was impossible to predict the behaviour of kids sometimes. Though Koen was not exactly a kid anymore. "Hmmm.'' Connor pretended to ponder the question. "That sounds perfect actually. Is that all?'' He'd place their order when she was ready.

She knew he knew. What's more though is she liked knowing that he knew and him telling her so. It meant that they were on the same page and he not only saw all that she did but he understood it, was thankful for it. It was exactly how she felt about him as well. There was no mistaking the smile on her face however. "It's not my fault that's what our son wanted," Addison laughed. So far cravings weren't to crazy just yet, minus the need for ice cream not to long ago but that had been handled. Speaking of ice cream she wanted to see Gabby again and let the women know that she had been right.
"I really hope not. He's always wanted siblings but that was years ago when he was just a small child." Their son was ten years old now. Children changed their minds about things daily. Hopefully their boy wouldn't be upset by this and he'd take it like a champ. "I think we should tell him after I meet with the Healer, make sure everything is alright and how it should be first." No sense in getting the boy all excited before they knew everything was well and good. "That's all. Just the salad and some tea would be nice." Addi smiled reaching for Connor's hand and gently squeezing his fingers. They were ready for this and she was sure Koen would be thrilled.

Connor laughed. "That's true. It would explain why he likes ice cream so much. And meat and potatoes. His mother made him addicted.'' This was something he could get used to troubling Addi about this. He had better make sure he stocked up on all the stuff Addison craved for when said cravings actually began.
The man wasn't too worried about Koen being jealous. It was possible this was why he had not thought of the situation sooner. Connor nodded to Addi's suggestion. "That's a good suggestion. When are you going to see the Healer?'' Connor wanted to go with her. He squeezed his wife's fingers gently back. Her hands were always so soft and welcoming. "I think I'll hold your hand a little longer.'' Meaning food would have to wait for now.

"I made him?" she fake gasped looking at him in shock. Shaking her head she went on to playfully add, "Oh no, no no, my dear. You're the one always giving the boy much more ice cream then is needed." Addi then went on to give him a playful wink before laughing. Gosh she was so childish sometimes. What was with her lately?!
Talking to their son was something they would be doing together. Another day. Right now this was their time to talk and go over everything that they might have needed to. "I made the appointment this morning. I'll be going early next week. Don't worry I selected a time that was good for the both of us." That was good about being the head of her department, being able to work around things for herself at times. Addi knew there was noway that Connor wouldn't want to be involved in everything with this baby just as he had been with their first. Aaww. She smiled keeping hold of his hand. "For as long as you like."

Must be the hormones, Connor decided. The hormones that were making Addi extra playful right now. Thankfully they weren't the ones that would make her moody. He'd accept Addi at her best and worst but he preferred her happy and laughing. "Me? I'm just making sure he grows up to be strong like his dad.'' Nice move there, Connor. Selling yourself out like that.
She was so thoughtful. Connor smiled broadly. "I look forward to that trip. We'll work things out with Koen too if he doesn't do well with the news.'' He and Addi always did whatever they could to ensure their family was happy. Connor traced little hearts over Addi's hand with his index finger. "At that rate we wouldn't eat at all.''

It could very well have been the hormones changes making her extra silly right now. Not that she minded in the least. Addison would much rather be laughing and joking around with her husband then shouting at the man or demanding things. Sure being a Gryffindor back in the day had meant she was typically stubborn, hotheaded and a brat but when she had gotten to know Connor that had mostly changed. "Strong? Mhhmm. He's going to grow up with a strong hungry for junk food," she laughed.
There. She knew that he would. "Hopefully he won't be upset about it. I just don't want him feeling as if we're replacing him or anything..." If she was guessing things correctly the new baby would be born sometime between March and April of the following year. Only a few months later Koen would be going to Hogwarts. She was trying not to think that way though, hazel eyes falling onto their hands where hearts were being made with Connor's finger. "We'll have to eat sooner or later or we'll end up with a grumpy baby." She smiled.

Addi wasn't giving up on this. It only made Connor want to keep up the teasing even more. "You may have started that when he was in your womb. You and all those ice cream cravings.'' The man laughed. "You'd be right though. We both do eat a lot of junk.'' That didn't mean that Connor was out of shape, however. "I think he and I will try cutting back on that.''
"We'll just have to show him that we don't intend to replace him or treat him any differently.'' It was easier said than done, he knew but they would have to try their best. Somehow Connor knew that him and Addi will get through to their son if necessary. Addi's statement made him laugh. "Very well. Let me go place our orders.'' He squeezed her hand before going to do so.

Addison laughed at her husband. If he wasn't giving up on this then neither would she. "Maybe I did but you my dear, are the one that continued to foster our sons love of sweets." So ha! There was nothing wrong with eating sweets if you also ate right which she knew her family did. "We'll all eat better together." Keep each other from caving in all the time.
"How do you suppose we do that?" If he had some ideas she'd gladly listen to them all right now. Koen was a smart boy but he was also very stubborn at times. Hopefully he would take the new without a problem. "Good idea. I'll be right here when you return." Addi smiled at him watching him as he left their table to order their food.

Addison Anders! How dare you make Connor crack up so much? On top of that, he was still overjoyed about their son-to-be newest addition to their family so that was definitely contributing to his happiness even more. "Me? I did no such thing.'' He grinned. Frequent trips to ice cream parlours sure were something to fuel Koen's obsession but to be honest, the man loved the frozen treats just as much. "Koen and I will just follow your example.'' Because Addi already ate so well.
"For one, we could still spend lots of time with him. We can also ask him to help our with the baby.'' Connor was thinking activities that would let them all spend time together. A few moments later, he came back with their food and drinks. "Here you are, sweetheart.'' Connor sat Addi's order before her then pulled his seat close to her. Who wanted to sit far apart, anyway?

"For one, we could still spend lots of time with him. We can also ask him to help our with the baby.'' Connor was thinking activities that would let them all spend time together. A few moments later, he came back with their food and drinks. "Here you are, sweetheart.'' Connor sat Addi's order before her then pulled his seat close to her. Who wanted to sit far apart, anyway?
Connor's laughter only served in making the blonde smile at him. It was one of her favorite things about him, his laughter. The sound of it had been the first thing Addi had noticed when they were in school, it was just sad that for many years before that she had disliked him. Him playing innocent was always cute. "Mhmm, sure you didn't." She laughed softly nodding her head. "We'll do our best. Our son was born healthy and this baby will be as well."
"Those are both good ideas. We can also let him help with naming the baby." Provided he didn't pick something incredibly out there. Addison smiled when he returned with their meal. "Thank you love," she replied instantly resting a hand on his leg when he moved closer to her. That's why he had moved closer wasn't it? Mmm the food looked tasty. Wasting no more time she picked up her fork and ate a mouthful of her chicken salad humming in approval. Perfect.

His wife just knew him too well. To think that he hadn't liked her at all during most of their Hogwarts time. How he wished sometimes that he had asked her out earlier but he always reminded himself it was better late than never. "Yes, we will. You and I make a great team.'' It wasn't boasting, it was the truth.
Didn't Connor ever say that his wife was brilliant? That would explain why she was a Head of Department at the Ministry. "That's the best suggestion yet,'' the man said, his head nodding in agreement. "That would certainly help with the baby's and Koen's bonding.'' He smiled, one hand slipping over Addi's, the other propped by the elbow on the table and under his jaw so that his chin rested on it. Why? Because he was admiring his woman. Wasn't she perfection?

"We do, don't we?" she laughed nodding her head. It might have taken them years to figure it out but when they had the two of them were perfect together. Even at work which was probably why they still worked in the same department together.
Addison smiled brightly very much happy that Connor agreed with her. "Maybe if Koen felt like he was truly helping with the baby it would help him to be happy about it." See. The two of them were always on the same page about everything. Lifting her eyes to meet her husbands she smiled feeling his hand cover her own. He wasn't eating though and this made her laugh once again. "Con, eat. You can stare at me all you like later." Teasing of course. If he wanted to sit there and watch her eat he could.

"The very best," Connor agreed. Since before they were married him and Addi had already been working as a team to build their lives. Look how well that had turned out. He squeezed her hand lightly. "You come up with the best ideas. That's a great way to start his involvement. Besides, he's my son. He doesn't do jealousy.'' Alright, so maybe Connor would get jealous if the situation arose but his feelings wouldn't be overwhelming. He always managed to control them.
"I can do both, I think.'' With a smile, he picked up his fork and began to eat with his eyes fixed on Addi. The man carefully chewed a mouthful then swallowed. "See? Multitasking at its best.'' He then continued to eat because soon they'd have to get back to work.

Of course it was. It was her idea, therefore it was indeed the very best one. Kidding. Still though it was a wonderful idea. Addison smiled squeezing his fingers in return. "I certainly try. This time it wasn't all to tough to come up with. Ko is our family and we've always done things as a family." Which meant that their son should be involved. "Oh, so he's your son now?" she teased laughing and shaking her head. "And here I always thought that he was our son."
Silly. Silly and sometimes childish. That's what Connor was. Somehow though he was so much more and the man sat beside her never let her down. "Just so you don't end up wearing more then you eat." Addi smiled at her husband as she ate a few more bites of her salad. Really she did know what he meant. If she could just sit there all day long and stare at him she would too.

Connor nodded. He certainly agreed with Addi on this one. "We'll keep doing what's right for family.'' It's what made them so tight knit. It didn't hurt that they were since Koen was going to be a teenager soon. Teenager angst... Connor wasn't sure he was ready to deal with that since he himself was somewhat of a difficult teen. Connor grinned. "Yes, my son.'' He laughed. "Our son.''
"I think I can manage to stomach most of it.'' To prove this, Connor focus for a bit on his food. Sometimes he would sneak a glance at his wife in the process. "See? I'm all done now.'' He checked his watch. "As much I'd like to look at you all day, we have to get back to work.'' Just because he was the husband of the HoD meant he could be a slacker.

"We always do what's best for everyone." That's the way they ran their family. Making sure everyone got what they needed but also that they were as happy as possible as often as possible. Addison still couldn't believe that their only son was already ten and in less then one years time he would be going away to Hogwarts. Somedays it was so hard to picture it but it was happening and much sooner then they would all know. "Our son. Our children." She laughed correcting them both now. Now they weren't just going to have a son but either another little boy or a little girl to add to their family.
Manage huh? Addi laughed shaking her head at him. "Oh I'm sure you can." Her family loved to eat. By the time Connor had finished his meal she herself was just about done as well. Another bite chewed and swallowed along with a few sips of her drink. "Now I am as well." Work. Sigh. She nodded and rose to her feet. "Come on then, lets get back to the department." They both had work to do.

Victoria had not forgotten her lunch date with her husband. She had actually thought about it all day. She didn't know why but she just wanted to spend time with him today. She was feeling like the needy wife. Even her meeting with the very nice looking Balzar didn't get her distracted. Since she had gotten out of her meeting early she decided to head to the restaurant and find them a nice seat by the window. She always enjoyed looking out while she waited for her food.
Finding her seat she waited for her husband and allowed her thoughts to go to her children, who were happily at school at the moment. Charely being there made her all the more comfortable, but it was time to really face facts and make decisions with Alana. She knew her and Charely were going to have to talk, but she wanted to talk to Cossy first about a few things.
Speaking of her husband she looked at the door expecting him at any moment.

Cosgrach had had a quiet morning as he'd predicted, and now it was lunch time with his wife. After making sure his cauldrons weren't going to explode while he was gone, he just changed quickly into his muggle clothes and got out of the ministry. He arrived at the restaurant and quickly spotted her. He smiled widely, and leaned in to kiss her cheek before sitting across.
"Hey, love," he greeted, "I hope I'm not too late?"

She ordered drinks and an appetizer to hold her over until her husband had gotten there. Just as the waiter left the table she noticed him walking through the door. Giving him a kiss back she smiled at his words. "You aren't late at all. My meeting ended early so I came early to get us a table and some drinks. I also got an appetizer, I hope you don't mind." She assumed he didn't.
"I'm going to probably leave work early today so don't wait on me to go home together. Charely owled and Helena isn't feeling well." It was good to have the Head of the school be your ex and baby daddy to your twins. "I need to have a discussion about Alana with him anyway so this works out to go over and pick her up." She pulled at the bread on the table and took a bite.
"What do you think about putting her in a muggle school?"
