"And so smart too!" Estrella beamed at her brother, not getting a chance to return the kiss. She gasped at the masterpiece Christian had made for her. "Why, this is lovely! You know, this is our first family photo. We have to frame it!" The woman had full intentions of doing just that, whether or not Jaken was opposed to portraits of stick people hanging up in the kitchen. Pecking the tiny tot on the cheek, she engulfed him in an affectionate hug.

The arrivals were nearly too much for her head to handle. She wasn't sure how many people were in the room- then again, she hadn't stopped to count. They had better pray to Merlin that the babies didn't wake up. Peeking at Olivia (who was still sleeping soundly) she turned her attention to the rest of the room.

The presence of her father was enough to set her nerves on a crash course; her father-in-law made it all that much worse. The two didn't seem to be pleased at the prospect of being called a grandfather. She smiled at Nicolette. The woman's stomach had swelled massively over the past few months. A little girl who she presumed to be Jaken's sister Kailie was all over the place like popcorn in a movie theatre.

"Make yourselves comfortable," Estrella piped up at no one in particular. She didn't show any signs of abandoning the sofa herself. It wasn't like she was going for a hostess of the year award. Her gaze settling back on Jaken, she shrugged and tickled Christian's sides.

Curiosity was the cat's friend. Although she was a bit overwhelmed by the number of people in the room, Evan's shyness died a very quick death. She approached the very pregnant woman cautiously. Wrapping tiny arms around the pretty lady's leg, she looked up. "Bay-bee," she stated with a smile, staring at the giant belly that she knew held someone like Elijah or Olivia. Maybe this was one of her new brothers or sisters?

Apprentice in Wand-Making Mother to Kalif & Amarantha Styx

Kailie was snuggled into Jaken's large chest, and listening to a steady heartbeat. Upon hearing another boy's voice, Kailie narrowed her blue eyes in a glare. "Fine! He is a troll, stupid." Kailie glanced up at Jaken and her father, both giving her a warning glare to behave. Kailie bounced off of Jaken's lap, and she said to her big brother, "Imma go find the play 'oom!" Kailie was excited and of course her words were a little mispronounced. Then, she tore out of the living room, bounding up the stairs, before anyone could catch her.

There weren't words filthy enough for what Tristan thought of Kalif. The dark haired man had tried, for the sake of a calm evening, to keep the reigns on his temper. Merlin would watch that effort go out the window. Holding Eliza much more tightly than was necessary, he scowled at the blond Death Eater.

He opened his mouth to tell Erik off, but the young girl was able to take care of herself. "A troll? Am I that ugly?" he laughed. It was a bit too loud for Elijah's taste, who squirmed in his sleep. Shit. If Tristan had woken either of the babies he would be in it up to his neck.

Erik blew a raspberry in retort, making a face at the new girl. He was used to having only Eliza to contend with. He jumped off of the davenport, blurting, "Yes," to his father before running out of the room after her. He wouldn't be told no before he could get out. Adults were boring, babies were boring and it just wouldn't be fair if this girl got to play while he didn't. "Hey, wait up!" he yelled after her.

Nicolette had a very time going from face to face and trying to possibly connect who some of these people were and such, so far the only one's she vaguely recognized was Estrella and Jaken, other than that she was a bit stumped with all the other faces. When Estrella smiled at her, she returned it with a bright smile of her own, the poor girl looked exhausted and as if she were about to keel over. As Nicolette was standing there trying to make sense of what was going on she noticed a fairly built man glaring daggers at Kalif for some odd reason, she raised an eyebrow and let a small smirk befall onto her lips, of course she wasn't going to get involved but she was curious about it all the same.

"Oh!" Nicolette jumped slightly in shock when she felt someone or something wrap itself around her legs. She cast her golden eyes down to see a little girl attached to her leg, staring up at her...or was it her stomach. The one word the small child uttered not only brought a pretty smile to Nicolette's lips, but answered her question as well, the small girl was looking at her stomach of course. 'Ahh who am I kidding...I'm so big.' She thought to herself with a small roll of her eyes, she knew it was because she was pregnant but d*mn she felt so big and self-conscious when she was around people when she was this big, at least soon she would be less big. "Hello there!" Nicolette really wished she could bend down to the girls level, but she knew if she did, she might not be able to get back up as easily. With a small sigh she rested her hands on her stomach, wondering why the little girl had such a fascination with her pregnant stomach.

Kalif shook his head when Kailie took off running, and he glanced down at some little kid getting closer to Nicolette, which in turn, was closer to him. Kalif took a side-step to the side to lengthen the distance between Nicolette and himself. Though Tristan's words left Kalif in shock. Kalif had to turn around, his hand to the forehead, and he thought with a gnarl, Why does he have to make things so damned easy? Luckily though, Kalif's tongue was held from saying something smart to the loathed fiend.

Julie was so tired that as soon as she sat down with Elijah, she crashed out. The chair was super comfortable and the ottoman was just what she needed at the moment. Snuggled up with her youngest, and hopefully last, child, she was the picture of a tired mom. Before too long, Elijah began to squirm as Tristan laughed. Opening her eyes to glare at her husband, she couldn't help but smile. She had heard something about a troll, and noticed Erik running off after a girl about his age. Eliza was still sulking on Tristan's lap. At least she is not mouthing off. There is a first for today.

Looking around the room, Julie noticed some other arrivals. She recognized the blonde man from the dinner when they found out they were going to be grandparents, but the pregnant woman, well, she was new. Evan quickly noticed the baby bump, and Julie couldn't help but giggle at her daughter. "Evan, come by Mommy and let that nice woman alone. Come see your baby brother." She motioned to the little girl, hoping to distract her from one baby with another baby.

Josh stepped from the floo and into a room that was filled with people. A very familiar voice was laughing about being called a troll, and he noticed a hated blonde shaking his head about it. He walked in, then opened his mouth. "Well, whomever said you were a troll got it right on the money." Crossing to the sofa, he gave his Goddaughter a quick hug, then moved to greet Jaken. Finding himself a seat, he jumped right into the conversation. "So, I see the entire family minus two is here. Nice job, Tristan. Amazing actually considering the size of your brood." The fact that his friend had issues keeping from procreating had always been a point of teasing between the pair, and it was not about to stop now.

Christian felt instantly shy as more adults appeared, he stayed as long as he possibly could snuggled close to his sister but knew that adult talk did not include children. Even at such a tender age this had been instilled into him. Giving her a quick peck on her face he pulled back the blanket and slid down, then tried to tuck her in once more before walking over to his father he looked at Julie. She was a lovely lady, no matter what he overheard his mother say about her and he certainly wouldn't go repeating any of it either. Reaching up he placed his little hand in Tristans.
"Should you get Julie a blanket too daddy?" he asked him, slightly jealous of how everyone was seemed so close and friendly to one another here. He knew he was always welcome in his fathers house and in Estrella's but could never understand why everyone behaved so differently at their homes compared to his own. There was laughter here, something that was rare at his home.

Kailie arrived in a rather interesting playroom. However, she heard feet following her, and Kailie snorted. How dare this boy just follow her as if she wanted to play with him! Kailie found a coloring book and some crayons, before she climbed on the couch and started to color. The adults were boring her and not paying any attention to her, so why should she stick around? Things seemed much warmer here, and it sent Kailie's mind in a whirlwind. Why didn't her father ever take her to Jaken's house anymore?

"Says the goblin." Tristan was relieved that there was now another adult in the room whom he didn't detest. "You bring any wine, shorty?" The dark haired man was absolutely dreading having Kalif for company. Sure, they were both grandfathers now, but that really didn't change things between them in Tristan's opinion. Styx was one of the last men in the world he wanted to be related to.

Christian's tiny hand came to rest in his father's outstretched palm. Being raised by a Dolohov, the boy was surprisingly kind. "How thoughtful of you, Christian," his father stated proudly, tousling his son's hair. Conjuring a blanket for Julie, Tristan watched as it floated to the cushion next to her. He leaned in and smiled at the tot. "Want to tuck Julie in, too? She's got her hands full with your baby brother."

Tristan watched Evan toddle away from the unnamed woman she had been harassing to her mother, blue eyes rivaling saucers. His attention turned back to his best friend. "Two? Either your counting skills have committed suicide or there's another one I don't know about." Sad thing was, the latter was very possible.

"Who you calling shorty, ya Troll?" Josh replied as he settled in the chair next to his best friend. He looked at Kalif and the pregnant woman in the room before returning his gaze to Tristan. "There is nothing wrong with my counting skills. I assume the others are at school still. I still wonder why they did it or if there is yet another grandchild on the way for you." Josh assumed that Tristan was aware of the wedding that had taken place, but now was starting to wonder if he was revealing something that wasn't public knowledge just yet.

Now thoroughly confused, Tristan wondered at Josh's words. Others at school? Did what? Grandchild? Huh? Bringing fingers to temples, he asked, "What in the name of Merlin's saggy left-" he glanced at the children, "what in the world are you prattling on about?" The only grandchild he had was Olivia, and he hoped it stayed that way for a long time. It was going to be hard enough being referred to as a grandparent by one child. "Sumner's the only one in school."

Josh looked at Tristan's shocked face, then realized he was right. "Aw, he--, um, heck," he started. "You really don't know, do you?" He leaned his head back and closed his eyes for a second. Well, there was no going back now. He was the one to open his big mouth and now he had to finish off what he started. "Sumner got married a few weeks ago to Lily Potter, Blake's ex-girlfriend."
