How Keanu had managed to open the front door when he was so little, was somewhat a mystery to Alex, but not particularly important right at this moment in time. What was important was the fact that there was a woman standing in the pub. Alex snatched up his cricket bat. "Go to your room, Keanu...

"Daddy!" Keanu squeeled from the other room. It was half past six in the morning and little Keanu was already up and roaming the house above the pub. Alex and Liberty were trying to make the most of the remaining hours of sleep they could have before getting up. It was a tuesday, and Keanu would...

Should he just sit back and take these insults to his wife? No. But, as someone remotely intelligent, it would not be wise to physically attack a heavily pregnant woman, especially when her husband was in the room. Still, verbal attacks worked just as well. "Far from a pure bride, after what I...

"Please," Alex started, noticing Larissa entering the room, "let's not start this again. Libby sends her love, though Merlin forbid, I don't know why.." Andrew didn't seem to notice Alex's comment, and so he continued, "she apologises for not having written in a good few months, but she's been a...

Alex's eyebrows shot up. "'Return the favour'?! She ruined our big day!" But he could already see that all argument was futile, and he began to quieten down. Keanu began nattering away to himself. Alex kissed the top of his son's head. "I suppose we ought to find a table to sit at," he said to...

It was with great annoyance that Alex found himself at the wedding of the impolite, and flirty part-veela girl that Liberty would sometimes refer to as a friend. He hugged Keanu to his chest upon arrival, attempting to take hold of his wife's hand. "Let's just go," he said quietly to Libby, "the...

Alex had been thinking of Keanu's future for the past few months. Well, he had little else to do in the evenings other than read muggle books in an attempt to understand how exactly muggles survived without the use of magic. He had, on one of those evenings, reached the conclusion that sending...

Alex fixed a small smile onto his face. It was partially false. "No," he replied, "there's nobody I would rather spend Christmas with than you." He did love his wife, and he did mean that he wanted to spend Christmas with her and Keanu, but he would have liked there to have been someone else he...

"I've been alright," Alex replied honestly. Dorian had been good entertainment and comfort through the time Alex had been alone. "There's been a lot to get on with- to keep me busy. Keanu's been busy, too; lot of growing for a young lad to do." Alex withdrew from his family, momentarily, to...

Alex slid the cleaning cloth around one of the many glasses the pub possessed, listening to the squeak that confirmed it was clean. He had learnt to function quite well as a somewhat single dad to Keanu. No matter how much Alex had not wanted children for many years, he had found it difficult...

Alex gave his wife a serious look; he no more wanted to wrangle an intruder than he wanted to stick his head in a bucket of icy water, though he knew that he would have to do something for the sake of his family. "Stay here," Alex signaled to his wife. "I'll yell if I'm in trouble." Alex nodded...

Alex mumbled as he woke up. ".. Seeker can't catch for.. Oh." As he gained further consciousness, he began to realise where he was, though the darkness flooded his eyes. Liberty was disappearing through the door. Alex sat up in bed. What on earth had motivated Liberty to wake him from a content...

I wondered where that had come from :P Thanks. And, okay x Hope you don't mind the scene change.[hr]The morning broke with the sound of a wailing baby. Alex had been straight out of bed and to the cot, lifting the small newborn into his arms and cuddling him close for a moment or two. It...

"Hey," Alex said, shaking his head, "it's alright.. I've never really bothered celebrating my birthday. It was only my mates who would make a fuss and insist they treat me to a drink out, or something." He honestly didn't mind, although he was, deep down, beginning to wonder how many of his...

Alex felt so guilty, wishing he had said nothing. "Oh, Libs.." He sighed, rushing to wipe her tears away. He was beginning to realise just how much he loved this perfect stranger. Her suggestion rumbled around his brain. A part of him had hoped that his son would take his name as his second one...

Sorry it has taken me so long to post - lots of real life complications. Alex nearly jumped out of his skin as he witnessed the first customer of the day. Immediately, he was alert and ready to serve. "The food is fine," Alex said, not really sure how others felt about his cooking, "it's the...

Alex was glad that Liberty had just dropped the subject of his mum. He wasn't ready yet to tell her that she was a squib- especially not when they had just been blessed with a son whose wizarding powers would go untested for many years. In all honesty, Alex had no idea where his brother-in-law...

Alex was shocked at the realisation that he and his wife, though having known each other for many months, they had never really known one another. "My mum was a.." Alex tried to shrug off the words he had been about to say. He didn't enjoy talking about his mother and her condition. Besides...

"Do.. Do you really think so?" Alex replied, turning to look his wife in the eyes. He could pick out the odd feature that was alike to his, though he could definitely see some of Liberty's beauty portrayed upon their son. He became a lot more serious, "I think we need to seriously discuss...

They arrived back at the pub in good time. It was strange for Alex to see the doors closed and the windows, dark, when it was this time of day, but nevertheless, he stepped out of the cab, walked to front door, unlocked it and returned to the taxi to help his wife and son inside: The pub was...
