You did what now?!

[Lyra Potter]

Lyra Potter touched her lower abdomen as she felt a sharp bump from inside. The brunette smiled softly as she rubbed her hand on her belly. She was in her second trimester with their fourth child, and she still thought marrying Ezra Cade was the best decision she ever made. She loved him and the life they had built together despite it being the opposite of what she had imagined she would have ten years ago. It was funny how things worked out sometimes.

Lyra was in the kitchen cutting crusts off of three peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the twins and their three year old brother. She hummed a tune under her breath as she put the sandwiches on plates for the kids. Lately, Lyra had been considering becoming reacclimatized with the wizarding world. She knew the kids would be starting school in just a few years, so she couldn’t tune it out forever. She’d talked to Ezra about it, and he’d been supportive. He’s never left magic behind in the same way Lyra had. A change might not be so bad.

 

[Ezra Cade]

Life had been quite strange for Ezra since he had rekindled things with Lyra. In some ways, he led two different lives, one as a shady business owner in the magical world and the other as a normal husband and father in the muggle world. It had felt like those worlds would never collide for a long time, but that all changed when Lyra expressed an interest in dipping her toe back into the magical world. He was happy that Lyra felt comfortable enough in their life to return to a world she had been so hellbent on getting away from just a few years previous.

With the prospect of his family becoming more involved in the magical world, Ezra had made a big decision regarding his business and now had to tell his wife. He made his way into their home and met Lyra in the kitchen where she was preparing food for the children. "Hey Ly," Ezra planted a soft kiss on her cheek and leaned against the counter behind her. "I have some news,"
