Little Devils

[Donavon Howard]

Donavon had never imagine having kids. A month ago, he discovered having twins that were already four years old. And what surprised him was the mother of the kids was Annabelle Starr, the girl who he had loved for years but he never had the chance to meet her. She disappeared on one summer and he never seen her until one day she was assigned on a mission to work with him. His emotion was mixed up, he didn't know if he should be happy or not. What would his siblings say to him about these kids?

Looking down to see the two little brown eyed Howards, Donavon smiled. They were so small, they both have dark brown hair. "Nicolene, Nicolet" He called as he held their hands before apparating to the Howard manor. He was sure that no one would be there except for Dakota who he had not seen for a while. As usual, the manor was very unfriendly and very empty since his siblings weren't there. He took off his coat and the kids too as he gave it to the house elf. He began walking toward the fireplace and looked back to the house elf, ordering them to make two cup of warm chocolate for the twins. They've been staying with him for a month now and sometimes Anna would come and visit them. "Is that you Dakota?" He asked as he listened to the sound of shoes tapping on the floor.

Dakota stay at the manor increased by the months, the girl shelter herself away from the world of her big mistake. She had announce to Malachi she would be going away, but it was all a lie. She had said anything for him to believe, in order for him to leave her alone. What she didn't want to admit was Malachi's left his mark by Dakota deciding to keep the baby inside of her for now. But after, well after wasn't soon enough. Her decision to keep it afterwards was intensely slim, Dakota hadn't in herself to raise a child alone. A true fawk up, she would find away to give the child to someone else.

As she stayed lingering the corridors, in though, her shoes echo throughout the house, making those aware that she was still here and lingering about. Passing the family room, she was greeted with the sight of her older brother and two children sitting on mother's couch. Any time she would have ran to Don and embrace him tightly. Instead, she stood there, leaning against the doorway boarder, stone eyed and still. Her appearance much resemble a ghost, because she had happen to appeared nine months pregnant though it didn't show too much. Her bump was small, still you could see it, like a distraction to the world around them, the belly stood out besides her ghostly pale skin. Dakota smile, "I've missed you Don, where have you been?" and to make it more obvious, she laid a hand next to her moving tummy.​

 

[Donavon Howard]

Donavon tilted his head to the side ordering the children to stand up and greet his sister Dakota and both bowed immediately. He faced Dakota and smiled a little, he first didn't realize that she was pregnant but as soon as she placed her hand on her tummy his smile faded. "These are my kids, Colene and Colet" He said walking toward her and stood closely in front of her, making her uncomfortable, or was she used to it? "Are you well?" He asked, Donavon cared about Dakota, she was the only one who he could talk to when he needed a friend to talk.

Slowly Donavon placed a hand on her tummy and a smile appear on his face without him realizing. As soon as he realized that what he was doing was awkward, he quickly took a step backward and cleared his throat as the smile disappear from his face. Again, the blue eyes of Donavon's were locked on Dakota's "Is he a pureblood?" He glared at her, Donavon had no idea who the father of the baby was, he even don't know if she was married or engaged with him or not. "Who is he?" He asked still glaring sharply at her.

 

[Dakota Howard]

Dakota appeared eye wide, being introduce to niece and nephew came out as a shock to the blonde. "When did this happen, oh wow. I wasn't aware you were having relations at a young age Don" she soon felt disconnected from her brother. Guess she wasn't the only one with secrets. Don move along to her and felt her stomach. The small child inside felt the pressure of a hand laying across his mom's tummy. Naturally it move to the hand touching it, Dakota just stared. "What does it matter if he's a pure blood or not? Stop acting like a poppet and cut your strings" she replied coolly. She wasn't about to admit she had slept with a muggel and was carrying a child of half blood. "I'm exhausted I think I will go take a nap" she pulled away from him, disappointment of his was sinking.​

 

[Donavon Howard]

Donavon looked back at the twins and told them to come forward so that Dakota could get a better view of them. "I didn't know that I have kids, Annabelle told me about them last month." He said flatly, he wanted to lessen the burden of Anna's. After listening to what Dakota had to say, Donavon glared at her sharply and coldly. "Answer me" He said grabbing her arm of hers, gripping on it tightly as he pulled her closer to him. "Is the baby a pureblood or not" He locked his eyes on hers, tightening the grip of his. Donavon was pretty sure that the baby wasn't a pureblood since Dakota denied to answer. "Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how much trouble you're into?" He moved closer to her and whispered "What if the baby ends up being killed by our own family?" Donavon wasn't sure if Dakota was aware of it or not.

Dakota blankly gaze into her brother's cold eyes. "What you did is your business and I don't care" she yank out her arms again. Truthfully she did cared, she was terrified of her family but her twisted ways decline to show in front of anyone. anyone except Malachi, he made her weak and humble. She sometimes hated herself for letting him. "What happens to me is none of your business you fawking tawt!" she pushed her brother out of the way. Her strength to do that had send a bolting sensation to her pelvic ares. She felt, something wet and cold drip down on her. Afraid to look and see what started to expel, "For Marlin sakes, you d!ck, you made my water break!" she shouted at the top of her lungs, baby Jude was coming soon.

 

[Donavon Howard]

Donavon couldn't believe what he just heard, who brainwashed her? "ANSWER ME!" He gripped her arm once more this time holding it so much tighter than before not caring if he hurt her or not. The father of two children took out his wand and pointed it at his sister, Dakota. "Don't you dare" He glared at Dakota, right before he cast a spell to hurt her, the water break. Donavon let go of her hand and pushed her away from him as he walked toward his children, commanding them to hold on him as he walk back toward Dakota, slipping an arm on hers and apparate to St Mungos. "I've warned you, the life of the baby's in danger and it's all because of you" He whispered before letting her go, calling one of the healers and commanded them to take care of Dakota. "Not even Dancel should know this. If our family finds out about the baby, then I wont be there to protect the child, I'll see you soon" He whispered flatly before walking back toward his children, escorting them to an empty seat. Dakota was strong, she should be able to take care of herself or at least that was what Donavon thought.


sorry for the gm

 

[Dakota Howard]

Dakota was on the right path to exploding, but the pain she was enduring by the minute took over her lanky body. She shivered by her brothers strong hold over her and shook when he apparated in the middle of a moving facility. She hadn't time to response to him, instead time moved fast all around the woman in pain. She shriek as a contraction hit her and was whisk away from her brother's sight. It took five minutes to get her into a room, two minutes to give her a dose of potion and three minutes later she was pushing with the mighty strength she had left. No more than two hours of the agony baby Jude Wilson was born, she heard him cried, yet did not respond like a mother should. Instead she ask the healer to put him away, in the nursery room. "I'll get back to him later" she was going to tell her brother that he was born dead and that there was no child. "Keep him away till I'm ready" she lied to the healer, she laid still, with the blanket drape over her pale skin, she waited for her brother to come in and see her.

Out of Character:

"It's okay sorry it's not all great, but I don't want him knowing about Jude

 

[Donavon Howard]

Donavon stayed in the waiting room with the two children of his. He crossed his arms on his chest as he began to think about his family and shut his eyes until a healer called him. The man stood up, ordering the twins to stay there. He followed the healer who escorted him to Dakota's room. He saw his sister and walk toward her, leaning down and kissed her forehead. "Where's the child?" He looked around seeing no baby in the room. "Remember what I said, if anyone of us finds out that he's not a pureblood then you're on your own" He looked at her eyes, not giving her a chance to answer the first question of his.

 

[Dakota Howard]

Dakota turn her eyes away, no healer where in the room when she said this to him. "There's no child Don, he was a still born" she lied through her teeth, she says anything to keep Jude alive. If anyone was to die right now it should be her not him. After all she brought him into this world, he didn't ask to be born. "I want to go home...now Don" she spoke close to a whisper. She played ill and broken hearted to the tee, now if he believed then Jude will be okay for now.

 

[Donavon Howard]

Even though Donavon wasn't quite sure if Dakota was telling the truth or not, Donavon decided to trust her. He called his children and brought Dakota home. "Dakota, take care of yourself" He looked at her and took a few steps back, holding Colene and Colton's arms. "I still have some work to do. I'll be back later" He said and apparate away.
