Austiin frowned as Cameron showed his domineering, cranky-pants personality. He always went like this when he was in 'The Chair', it could be quite annoying, but even though Austiin loved Cameron and hated when he was upset, that didn't mean he wouldn't tease him, just a little bit. He turned to Speed and Stephanie. "Watch it you two, Cammy is wearing his cranky-pants." He said, just loud enough for Cameron to hear him and giving a quick wink. He was sure it would annoy the pants off Cameron, and he knew that his lover would not hesitate to yell at him, not that Austiin cared too much, Cam was adorable when angry. His eyes would go all watery and his face would start to turn a light pink, not quite red, but a nice shade of rose, it was simply adorable. Then he would stomp his feet and his voice would raise several octaves, he never realised just how cute he was when he was yelling at people, but Austiin did, Cameron yelled at him quite a bit. He laughed at the threat and shook his head, Cameron would probably do it, or atlteast try. But Speed would probably have a break down, and Stephanie? Austiin shuddered, she'd probably die too, they were both pampered kids and wouldn't be able to survive Africa.
Everyone quietened down, even Tommy, though he didn't speak much during the family meetings anyway, he mainly only spoke to Austiin, everyone else was just there in the young nine year olds eyes. Austiin sighed slightly at the mention of Kylie, everyone had been a little sceptically at the adoption, even Austiin himself, though he didn't show it. He wasn't sure if he wanted another kid, Tommy was enough, he had one son and was happy with that, but whenhe realised that if he did not adopt his beautiful niece, she would end up going to her parents, who turned out to be alive and still living in America, not that Austiin cared, he never spoke to them or acknowledged their existence. So when he came to this realisation, he decided that he would adopt her, using all means nessesary. He was surprised that his being an animagus helped the application, they wanted a 'strong magical influence' to take the child and since Austiin lived with all magical people, and was skilled enough to be an animagus and use a little bit of wandless and some wordless magic, he passed, which was great, he had something to rub in his parents face and a huge confidence boast. Seeing his parents always drained his confidence, which was why he never spoke to them or about them, it was easier. Abby's hand rose, he smiled at his dear sister, she shared his feelings, if their parents took the girl, she'd be horrible, and they didn't want that for their niece. Speed and Stephanie, after some thought, raised their hands, and, much to the relief of Austiin, Cameron's beautiful hand rose in greement. Everyone already knew Austiin's feelings on the subject, he had spent hours arguing with his parents and the judge about it, there was no way in hell that he was going to say no now. When Tommy's hand stand by his side, Austiin shrugged, he expected as much. The nine year old was convinced that he was being replaced, no matter what Austiin said. "So it's settled, Kylie is one of the family?" He asked, placing his blue-green eyes on his lover, a small smile on his face.
