Thomas wasn't sure how to feel. A side of him rejoiced, his daughters were fully grown, and happy. Surely a father couldn't ask for more, but he did. He wished he could go back, he wished he could relive the time when they thought he was a hero, the days when their childish innocence had lifted his spirits. Kate was living with a man for God's sake! Sara was becoming an auror, some sort of wizarding agent. From what he understood; it was dangerous. His daughters had been through so much; Kate had been ill, she'd been caught in that earthquake. Sara.. He didn't know about Sara, not anymore. The little girl whose mind he'd been able to read was gone, and he'd seen her collapse into her own despair during her teens, without being able to help. She seemed okay now, they both did, but he still worried. He always would.
This was his chance though, to do something for them, to let them know how much he loved them; this party was his last hurrah as their father. Star and Ryan had a few more years to go, but the first two were officially grown now. He watched as the last of the preparations were completed. He'd rented this apartment for the night, seeing as the girls' lives were in New Zealand now. They were so far away. He sighed, leaning back against the wall as the catering staff finished up. It would be a fun night, and no doubt the twins would enjoy it. That was another thing though; they had different groups of friends now, and seperate lives. He could recall a time when they'd spent all their time together. Though, they were very different people, and he could understand the distance. Sara was unpredictable, with a fiery temper and she was quick to judge. She saw the world as rather black and white, with very little wiggle-room. Kate was different; more calm, and trusting. If you'd asked him when they were twelve what they'd be like now, he'd probably have been able to say. He'd never tell Sara, but he wasn't at all surprised that Kate was in such a serious relationship, while her twin still flitted around. Sara got too easily bored, while Kate was better at seeing what she wanted, and needed, and going for it. He liked her boyfriend; Stefan. It worried him a little that she'd only ever had one boyfriend, but Kate wasn't the type of girl who'd run men through her hands. She picked a person, and stuck with them.
The girls would arrive soon; he'd given them an earlier time than everyone else. He'd immediately dismissed the idea of a surprise party. One, they'd have figured it out immediately; they were too smart for that. Also, he wouldn't put it past his eldest daughter to whip out her wand and injure someone. The auror training made her edgy at best. He smiled at the thought, and stood up straight, waiting for them to arrive. He hoped he'd reached all of their friends, he didn't want to miss any of them, or for them to be offended. It was more of a job than he'd thought to set up a twenty-first birthday party. The place looked great, though his wife had picked most of the decoration. That wasn't Thomas' forté. He was more practical, and so, it was the organising that had fallen to him. He'd tried helping put up decorations, but had been ordered away after failing to hang a streamer correctly; he didn't even know there was an incorrect way to hang a streamer.
