Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private)

Dark Lord Posts : 2912 Join date : 2010-09-22

"NOOO DADDY NOOO" Dreama cried as she squirmed around and tired to get away. Cyprus came to be the hero but was quickly squirming with her, crying out in his gaspy way. He clawed at the blankets and tried to get away but Cerberus got int he way, only making him laugh more. When they were finally free both children rolled onto their backs and giggled uncontrolibly for a little bit.

"Food Food!" Dreama said as she flailed her arms about. Cyprus nodded in agreement and both laughed at the puppy who agreed. "We should get mommy food too!" Dreama went to get off the bed and run to Praxis, wanting to ask what she wanted to eat.

The sound of laughter in the other room helped Praxis fall into a deeper sleep, getting the rest she needed just by knowing her family was at least together and happy, even if the circumstances weren't the best.

Andrew had to move quickly, Merlin being a vampire was useful, to grab hold of Dreama, who giggled more as he lifted her. "I know what mommy likes. We'll bring something back for mommy, alright" When she agreed Andrew turned to his son. "Well come on then you two," he said, since Cerberus had taken a liking to him. Cerberus followed Cyprus, playing with his heels as they walked. Andrew, as he walked by Praxis, whispered into her ear, hoping to reach her in her mind. "We're going to eat breakfast. There's a house elf waiting for you to wake. Send for me if you wake before we return," he whispered, kissing her cheek as he finished. He then left the room with the children, and the dog, leaving Pyaimia to sit with Praxis. She quickly settled in her hair and leaned over to slurp blood out of a glass Andrew left for her.

The children each took one of his hands and either walked with him or flew but stayed connected. Cyprus played with Cerberus, smiling at the puppy and petting it whenever he got a chance. They all walked past a hallway that seemed to be filled with smoke and the two gave Andrew questioning glances before they were taken a different way to the kitchen

When they got there the two started flying around, entertained by the odd elves and entertaining them in tern. They were given anything and everything to try and test and each had a different opinion of it. Dreama ended up with a meat pie and Cyprus sipped on a milkshake as they sat at a table in the corner.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Wed Dec 22, 2010 12:22 am

Andrew sat down and ate a few peaches, not taking any blood for now. He made a plate of fruits and a plate of vegges, and set the m on the table "You can each bring her a plate when we go back to mommy, okay?" he said gently. Cerberus finally settled at Andrew's feet, but the vampire leaned down and lifted the large puppy into his lap. "You're perfect," he told the pup. And he would be. When he grew, he'd be extremely large, and yet Dreama and Cyprus would still be able to play with him. Andrew sat there, admiring his family and petting his dog in his lap, for a while, before he finally felt it was time to head back. "Everyone done?" he asked, giving her plate a quick check and his milkshake one too. He ate much slower than she did, but that was alright. "Okay, you can bring that," he said lightly, standing up from the table. "Grab a plate, guys," he said. once they each had one he led them back to the bedroom, letting Cerberus bound all the way back.

The two nodded and instead of taking his milkshake with him Cyprus gave it to a house elf. He wanted to carry something for Praxis, not his milkshake. They all walked through the halls and Dreama asked about why the way was different this time. She was confused. He looked around, noticing once and a while the smoke they had seen before. When they got close to the room Cerberus was off, bolting for the door. he got inside before Andrew could get him and jumped up onto the bed, attacking Praxis with kisses.

Praxis was pulled from her sleep by a face full of slobber. He had her laughing and squirming under his tongue i no time as she tried to escape. "No Cerberus down, down boy down!" she cried between laughing but the dog kept liking her as if to say up up don't you remember what food is? up! She laughed an finally groaned. "I"m up I'm up." she said as her eyes fluttered open and she wrapped her arms around him and force him to lay down beside her, his paws and head basically laying on ber chest.

Andrew walked beside the kids. "It'll always be different, honey," he said gently. He was used to this. He just hoped in the back of his head that Desdemona would not send them somewhere unknown to them. Cerberus ran off and Andrew moved quicker than normal, the children not far behind. As Praxis fought with the pup Andrew stood watching and chuckling. He loved seeing her smile and laugh, and if he couldn't get her too, kudos for his pup. Pyaimia flapped angrily, but settled son after Cerberus did. Andrew chuckled more, came around the bed and said "Good dog," patting his head. "Darling, they've each brought you something," he told her, nodding in the direction of the door as they came in with their plates. "They figured you'd be hungry too," he told her lovingly, laying beside her and cuddling his pup, who rolled onto his back and brandished his belly. Andrew pet and scratched his stomach, the dog panting happily.

Once the dog calmed she couldn't help but chuckle softly and wipe her face off on her sleeve. "Yuck." She said jokingly when she saw the children creeping closer. Smiling she looked over at them. "Really? What do you have there?" She said teasingly as they came over. Dreama put the plate on the bed and hopped up, taking Cerberus's spot on her lap and cuddling. Her body curled so her hand and head were on her stomach.

"Mommy is it going to move like Lady Penelope's does?" Praxis laughed gently and helped Cyprus get up as she put the food on the bedstead. "Yes lovely, but not for a while yet. The baby is too small." Though she wondered that truthfully. It seemed large enough to hurt her but then again... she wondered if that was because it had already gotten her race's mental abilities. If it did then it would easily be able to use that against her already. Either way she loved her baby. The children moved to pet the dog and Cyprus moved to sit on Andrew's lap, his wings tucked back. He was smiling too and that alone got Praxis grinning again. She didn't look any better but she seemed in quite higher spirits.

Finally she looked at the fruit. "Ooo thank you." She kissed Dreama's cheek and Cyprus' head but as she went to kiss him Cerberus jumped up and licked her cheek again. "Yes yes, thank you for the wake up call too." she laughed and wiped her face off again before she took some of the fruit and veggies to eat. She looked over at Andrew and smiled lovingly at him when she caught his gaze.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Wed Dec 22, 2010 2:42 pm

Andrew smiled back, unable to hold it back at all. He watched her and the children and the dog and Pyaimia all together for a bit before he finally spoke. "Enjoy your food, I'm sending an elf to get Ash," and just as he said that a house elf, who was in the corner of the room, perked his ears up. "Yeah, you heard me. Go get Ash, he's in Praxis' room. I'm sorry, love, but you need him. We need him," he corrected himself, grinning a little at her. He was amazed with himself right now, the way he was accepting Ash and they way he slid so easily in and out of 'father' mode. His features went back to being emotionless, but he played with the children and Cerberus a little. "Love, how are we going to handle another one?" he asked jokingly as Dreama and Cyprus ganged up on him.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Wed Dec 22, 2010 8:05 pm

Praxis ate but she pouted all the same. She didn't want the mutt ruining her time with her loves. When he explained she sighed slightly and nodded before she ate a peach with a smile. She gave the children some too, which they ate happily. When the children both tackled Andrew she couldn't help but laugh again and nod. "Serves you right, Andrew Higgins! Stop hiding your emotions around your family." She laughed again and started to tickle the children. They rolled away until they were at her feat and hid from her hands. Taking the opotunity golden, she moved and gave Andrew a quick kiss. "Please, at least don't hide things when its just us." She smiled, knowing him well enough to see when his face grew emotionless. She hated not being able to read him. Praxis gave him another quick kiss. "And it's to late to wonder how! We'll figure it out, and it'll be wonderful." The smile that took her lips then was so powerful it made her nearly seem to glow again.

The house elf came back into the room with it's head bowed. "Sorries young masters...milady saids no need." Desdemona walked in a moment later and grinned down at them, her hands on her hips. "Hello darlings, how are things? If you need Ash well, tell me what's up and lets see what I can do." She walked over and saw the children playing with Cerberus on the side of the bed. Smiling slightly, she snapped her fingers and another door appeared to the far right of the room. It swung open, reveling what seemed like the meadow near Andrew and Praxis' house. "It's magically enclosed in the Labyrinth, but the children should have time to play outside." Cerberus took that as a reason to run out and so he did, he ran right into the flowing grass as a gentle breeze came from the room. The children looked at Andrew pleadingly, waiting for his okay. When he finally gave in Desdemona made a Frisbee appear and the showed them how to throw it so they could play with Cerberus. "Now that that's taken care of, what's wrong with our residential Princess?"

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Wed Dec 22, 2010 8:57 pm

Andrew sat there, and couldn't help but smile. "Alright," he said, kissing her back. "But only when it's just us... And our Lady," he said quickly. He didn't hide a thing from Desdemona, never had, and wasn't about to start. At first he started to get angry at the elf's words, but then he saw Desdemona walk in with her, ahem, pet... and everything was instantly alright. Her looked at the meadow with narrow eyes at first. When she explained he simply nodded. He went to pet his pup but he had bounded off the bed already, his tongue flopping out the side of his mouth as he ran out and rolled in the grass. He couldn't help but laugh a little. At the looks of Cyprus and Dreama he chuckled again. "Alright, alright! Go, play, have fun." He kissed each of their heads and off they went o play with Cerberus, who was all to happy to fetch. He watched them for just a moment before he turned his attention to his mistress. "Look at her," he said, moving to Praxis again. "She's lacking of color... and heat." Truthfully he was a little scared for his love. She was always, always hot. Not even warm, but hot... and now she felt... human. He looked up at Desdemona, waiting to see what she had to say or do.

Viktor followed, a calm smile on his lips as he watched. While Desdemona tended to them Viktor slipped out the door and stretched his wings for the first time other than his and Desdemona's wild nights. He hovered a bit and went to play with the children and the puppy as well, entertaining them in a way Andrew could not, flying about with them and letting his tail flop about.

Andrew felt a twinge of jealousy for the man. He could never fly like that with him... unless he agreed to change. But he had a feeling Praxis didn't want him to, so as far as he knew he may never be able to fly like that with them. But after a moment a soft smile came across his lips, they had a friend now that they could play with and Andrew couldn't be too upset about that.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Wed Dec 22, 2010 9:14 pm

"Lacking heat?! Now that is something to be worried about." She slipped over and sat on the bed beside Praxis with an emotionless face, but her eyes showed her worry. She couldn't help it, these two were her favorites, she worried for them. If something happened to one of them, her entertainment would be gone. Also she'd have to deal with the wallower. She had already experimented with this, she didn't need to deal with it again. Nooo way. These two weren't going to leave her to sew the peices back together, though the last time it was her fault. That was beside the point though.

Desdemona traced her hands over Praxis, touching her forehead, neck, her sides beside her breasts but not on them, over her heart, her wrists, and finally her stomach. Each time she nodded a bit to herself until she finally just flattened her hand over her stomach. Her flesh glowed green and she moved it around, staring at something the others couldn't see. Finally she started to chuckle. "Praxis, sugar, lay down for me." When the girl complied she moved to pull her dress up. The door to the meadow closed enough that no one could look in but they could look out. She took the dress and threw it in the corner as she started to massage around Praxis' stomach, her fingers glowing green still. Eventually she nodded to herself, covered Praxis, and got up.

"Ash, sweetheart as he's been, forgot something about that baby. It's a vampire child, well at least slightly. It's going through heat waves. Mingle that with his medicines and you have Praxis going through heat flashes a little too early but it's alright for now. She's lukewarm, at best, right now which i will agree is dangerously low for her, but she seems human because the child is going through a cold stage." She put her thumb on Praxis' chin and parted her lips, looking into her mouth. She looked at the sharp, curved teeth that came with her species and the dagger-like tongue. Again she nodded. Then she checked her eyes. Nod. Finally she checked the girl's pulse. "You had an episode again didn't you?" When Praxis nodded Desdemona sighed and put her hands on her hips. "Bedridden, three days to four days. In other words, your not going back to Hogwarts for a week. No ands, ifs, or buts about it. You've been ready to graduate from that bloody school since basically last year or the year before anyway." She ignored Praxis's arguing and the door opened again but it wasn't noticed by anyone in the garden room.

"I can't let up on this one, Praxis. Your episode messed with your hormones and they were already weak. Remember, this isn't like a normal pregnancy. Your not a human, your not a vampire, your a Sirecie. That baby is a half vampire half Sirecie. None of us knows whats going to happen so you have to take this slow with us all." Finally she sighed and ran her hand through her hair, which started having a green tinge to it. "I'm going to get you a nurse from Greece at some point during the week. We need more help." Desdemona looked at Andrew. "Don't let her use her powers again. Don't let her get in a situation where she feels like she has to again."

The children saw Viktor and giggled, flying around him. They were faster and more agile, able to fly in ways he couldn't, but it was fun having someone to tease and play with again. As they threw the Frisbee at Cerberus, they started teaching him to throw it back and so the group had fun playing around childishly outside.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Wed Dec 22, 2010 10:35 pm

Andrew sat on the bed beside Praxis. He didn't get jealous of Desdemona, more thankful of what she was doing. He watched her work, admired her for what she did, and gave her nods. "Yes, m'lady," he said, sighing. It wasn't as if Andrew had told her, or not tried to stop her, when she used her powers. "You hear that? From now on listen to me when I say sit tight." he said to her firmly, but he was grinning a little, unable to help it at her look of innocence. "Stop it..." he said with a chuckle. He leaned over and kissed her gently. "Let me care for you damnit," he said in a hushed tone, smiling gently down at her.

No one in the meadow noticed any of this happening. Cerberus had gotten the hang of fetching, or catching, the Frisbee, spinning and letting it go. It went surprisingly far for him just being a pup still. It took Viktor a little while before finally being able to move around with ease like the children. They tugged his tail and Dreama settled on his shoulder at one point, playing with his horns. He flipped her off, spun her, and let her fly off as they moved in almost a dance like fashion once he got the hang of this form. Viktor settled on the ground for a minute. "I've got something you'll like much better," he said with a grin. He didn't even grab his wand. After Desdemona's kiss, Viktor slid right into his dragon form without pain of any kind. He let out a small coo like rumble, and nuzzled the children playfully. He didn't plan to stay like this, and so he slid back into the form he just was. "How was that!?" he said happily to the children. he played with them without a care, letting them take him back to a time when he had children of his own.... though that wasn't a time her normally enjoyed thinking about.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Thu Dec 23, 2010 2:06 am

Praxis was not pleased, at all. She didn't like the idea of being stuck in bed for a week. They had children to take care of! School to finish! And besides...she didn't want Andrew to go to school or something without her and she leave her to try and care fore Dreama and Cyrus herself while trying to stay in bed. That wouldn't have worked well. As always, he made her stop arguing. "Fiiine fiine fine finy fine fine!" she growled before moving so her head was in the nook of his neck and her weak breathing against his neck. She moved so she could keep and eye on Desdemona, but otherwise wanted to be close to Andrew.

Desdemona wasn't saying he let all that happen, she was just saying he had to know how dangerous it was now. None of them knew that before. Sighing and shaking her head down at Praxis she put her hands on her hips again. "Lets hope your children aren't near as stubborn as you." She turned to look at Andrew more now. "It's your choice if you decide to go to school this week. I'll have the house elves take care of the children for the most part so you can both rest a bit. I know a lot has happened. I should be able to give you a name, or at least an area that the attack came from by then." She looked toward the door when she felt a shiver down her spine only to see a glimpse of Viktor's dragon form. Smirking, she turned back to the two. "Any questions or arguments I can crush?" she smiled a bit, in a playful mood.

Dreama was scared at first but Cyprus had seen dragons before in his training so he flew right over. Once over her fear Dreama joined him and the two swirled around him in a way that a dragon just naturally couldn't do, their wings weren't made for it. When he changed back they clapped and kept playing with him and Cerberus, who barked and hopped around playfully. Cyprus picked him up once and flew around with him, straining to keep hold on him, which just made him slobber all over the boy's face before he was let down again. At the sight of it Cyprus and Dreama fell into a fit of giggles as he wiped the slobber off on his sleeve.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Thu Dec 23, 2010 9:09 pm

Viktor flew about, playing with the children, allowing himself to get swallowed by his memories. He tumbled to the ground and lay there, his wings spread and laying on the ground. He just closed his eyes and lay there for a few moments.

Andrew nodded. "We'll be fine with the N.E.W.T.s," he said. He was not in the least bit worried about his grades. No, his mind was on other things, though he kept himself in a good mood. For his family. He shook his head absently, having nothing else t say really. Then he piped up and asked anyway, "When will Ash need to check her?" He needed to know. He could bring her to Ash, given that his bird wasn't aloud out of bed for the day and Andrew doubted Ash would trust she'd be left alive should he leave her alone.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Thu Dec 23, 2010 9:22 pm

"For today? Not at all. Let him come and check on her tomorrow morning before I bring him back to Hogwarts with me. Are you going to stay here or come back to school?" Of course Desdemona knew the answer already but she had to ask, just in case. She saw Praxis try to hide a yawn and shook her head, moving the blankets over her to help warm her up. "Seems like someone is still tired. She'll need as much rest for the rest of the day--especially-- so she can have the energy to keep up with those lovelies." A small smile spread across her lips as she changed the subject. "Speaking of lovelies, have you two decided on names or anything else about the child? I'll have to start checking on the baby's growth in a few weeks, we'll be able to see how they are developing." Her hand grazed the blanket over Praxis's stomach.

Praxis couldn't wait for that. Sure she thought she knew what her baby would look like, but so many things could change between now and then, she couldn't be sure if Helios looked like that or not. But to see how he grew within her, to really realize just how connected they were, physically... Praxis yearned for it. She turned and smiled slightly at Andrew, her head laying on his chest by now and her arm slipping around him under the blankets.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Thu Dec 23, 2010 11:11 pm

"I'm staying," Andrew said without a second's hesitation. He was looking out into the meadow, keeping a fatherly look out on his children. Cerberus was running about having a lovely time, his tongue flopping all over the place. Andrew couldn't help but smile, seeing them so happy. At word of the baby he turned to face the women in the room again. "We've named him Helios," Andrew said proudly. The gang wants to throw a party, for the wedding and the baby shower all in one, and they've already got all the necessary things. I just have no clue where the party's going to be now," Andrew chuckled a little nervously. Truthfully he wasn't worried about it right at the moment but it was something he needed to look into once they got back to school. He had to talk to Rose, the little Gryffindor he suspected had a purpose in Desdemona's plans. "I'll know more about it when I got back to Hogwarts, then I'll talk to Rose and the others."

Viktor remained in bliss in the meadow. However as his thought started to get to him he broke away from the children, settling off to the side and watching them

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Fri Dec 24, 2010 12:59 am

"Really? Well we'll work something out. Hopefully I can check out this attack and get your house open for the party again. I'll check it out tomorrow on my way back here." She got up and walked over to the door. Looking around, she finally saw Viktor. Turning, she held up a finger to the two and slipped into the room, walking over to him. "Hello Mister Dragon." She smiled slightly and half knelt. "Are you going to stay here or return to teaching at Hogwarts with me tomorrow?" She smiled, waiting for his answer.

Praxis closed her eyes when Desdemona walked away. She kept her arms around Andrew and yawned cutely. Her long, wavy hair clung to her form in lush waves that shifted slightly to hide her face from view. She cuddled to his chest and kissed over his heart sweetly. "I love you." she whispered, not able to help it.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Fri Dec 24, 2010 2:14 pm

Viktor opened his eyes when she came near, his tail lifting and winding around her leg gently. He'd finally learned to control his extremities now, having the wide open space to experiment. "I'm going back, of course. My class needs me," he said, standing up and releasing her leg with a smile. "And I can't deprive a class of their favorite teacher, now can I?" he said with a slight grin, looking down at her slightly. "Besides, as long as you'll be there, I'll be able to stand it..."

"And I love you," Andrew told her immediately. He never hesitated, always wanting her to know he meant it. "You're going to have to sleep a lot while you're here, you know that right?" They both knew how Desdemona was with her pets. She hated it when they were not well, unless she made them that way, and she'd be damned to let one of them die under any hand but her own. Andrew knew this, and he accepted it. He kissed Praxis on her forehead, moving her wonderful hair out of the way so he could kiss her lips gently but deeply. He slid down so that he was laying beside her, kissing her with his hand on her cheek. He truly did love her, and Andrew hated seeing her anything but well.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Fri Dec 24, 2010 2:29 pm

Desdemona grinned down at her apparent lover. Her hand rested on her lower thigh, keeping his tail from going up too far, she didn't feel like getting teased under her dress around the children. When she felt his tail graze her hand, however, she rubbed it through the dress fabric. When his tail moved away she ruffled her skirt to fix it. "Wonderful. I'm sure everyone will be pleased to have you back." Her voice lowered and sounded just a tad teasing as she put a hand on his shoulder and pulled herself up to whisper in his ear "I know I am." With a grin she kissed him on the lips and nipped him slightly. "Having fun?" she turned and looked at the children then him, wondering if he liked being around them.

"I know." she said with a pout. She didn't care what Desdemona said, it was the fact that she knew Andrew would fight her on this one way or another and she didn't want to fight with him. "Andrew," she whispered after he moved to kiss her forehead. She didn't get a chance to speak, however, for his lips brushed against hers and she refused to break the connection. When his hand touched her cheek, she cuddled against it and deepened the kiss. Her own hands were against his chest and one moved to slip around him again as she moved so her body hugged to his perfectly. When the kiss broke she let out a loving sigh and kissed his palm. "Andrew...when I'm better I want to finish our picnic." she said as her eyes opened and she looked up at him from under her eyelashes.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Fri Dec 24, 2010 3:26 pm

Viktor just hid his smirk, quite well too, and stood looking at the children. When she looked at him as if expecting him to answer, he just smiled. "I love children," he said, holding the sad smile off for now. His mind raced back to the cave at home, and a particular dragon, but he quickly removed those pictures from his head and focused on the here and now. "They've helped me hone in my body," he said with a calm smile.

"I promise" he told her as he lay there with her. "You'll get your picnic," he said. He would giver her her picnic, and so much more when he could. His thoughts drifted o the meadow though the door beside them. He'd ask Desdemona to keep it there for the children. Then he began plotting. He secretly wished he could kill someone, anyone. He had so much built up rage floating inside him he had a hard time not snapping when something went slightly wrong. He let out a mostly content sigh, and just held her. "When the baby's born... I'm going to go and kill someone," he said lightly, resting his head in the crook of her neck and sighing again. He was playing of course, though he did want to hurt or kill something...

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Fri Dec 24, 2010 3:37 pm

Desdemona grinned as she looked at the children. "I love those little things. They are some of the most interesting creatures I've seen in a while." She yawned and spun from him, walking back toward the door. "Feel free to stay and play for a while, I'm going to go check on the soon to be bridegroom."

In truth Praxis was holding in her rage quite well right now. She knew when she was allowed out of bed she'd have to chance to destroy something...anything...anyone. No one could possibly understand how angry she was. Someone had scared her children, had gotten close to taking her love away. No one, NO ONE, could do that and get away with it. She'd find who it was if it took all her strength. Her baby felt the rage too. It lived in it. It wanted the blood of the person responsible. Praxis chuckled at what he said as she ran her fingers against his jawline and neck sweetly. She kissed his forehead and temple, even just before his ear. "Can I come with you~?" she teased as she continued to try and sooth him.

"Well aren't you two cute." she said from the door. "I'll let you two rest. Viktor will watch the children for now so you two feel free to relax. I'm going to close this door off so they can't barge in and rouse you. The room will move to open in my chambers, so don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them as well. The meadow will be back later when they go to bed and I leave for Hogwarts. You four will be the only ones here, I trust you remember where my pets are?" She was speaking to Andrew now. When he answered she nodded. "If anything happens they have been ordered to follow your command." She moved to his coat and went in the pocket, taking out that key he had shown her. "I need to borrow this, I'll bring it back in a day or so but I think this has to do with our solution." She grinned and pocketed it when he said she could.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Fri Dec 24, 2010 3:55 pm

"I'll stay with them for a while," Viktor said nonchalantly. He flew into the air and caught Dreama in a spin. He let her go, and flew about with them. He played whatever game they asked of him, though they had to explain a few as he'd never played some of them. Cerberus had run back, following Desdemona and attacking her dress playfully.

Cerberus jumped onto the bed, his tongue flopped out of one side of his mouth and he panted happily. He didn't attack Praxis this time, but he snuck his way up to lay down beside her stomach, one paw extending to her stomach as if he were trying to protect her. "No," Andrew told Praxis, but he smirked anyway. "Someone has to watch Helios. I'll go and when I come back I'll watch him so you can go," He snuggled her, chuckling a little at the wonderful idea. He gave Desdemona a nod, remembering her pets. They all liked him... entirely too much sometimes, but that was alright. "You're taking them back with you then?" he asked, giving her a nod about he key. The only reason he hadn't had it destroyed was because he needed it to access a lot of things. But he wouldn't need it her, so it entirely didn't matter. He was talking about Ash and his Veela of course. Andrew didn't want to have to keep watch on them too.

Subject: Re: Andrew Higgins' Chamber (Private) Fri Dec 24, 2010 4:02 pm

"Yes they will be back in school tomorrow as well." She put the key in the pocket of her dress and glanced back into the meadow. "Your children are lively. Its good to see their spirits haven't been dampered." She glanced at the children pulling Viktor around as if they missed having someone to fly with. Dreama was sitting on his shoulder at one point as they chased Cyrus around, the little boy being quite fast and hard to catch. Desdemona turned to look at the two in the bed. "Would you like me to take your mutt as well?" she said as she glanced at Cerberus.

Praxis pet Cerberus as he kept a paw on her stomach. She smiled at the dog, kissing it's nose before she went back to letting Andrew lay on her. Her fingers never stopped their smooth movement against his skin as her other hand shifted to pet the dog. Once and a while the puppy would nudge her stomach and lick at it through the blankets but it didn't try to uncover her bare flesh. It barked softly and curled up again, keeping close to her stomach as if already bonded to her and the babe. It looked up at Andrew and it's tongue rolled from it's mouth again as it waited, seemingly knowing it was he who would send the dog to go play again or let him stay.

"No, he can stay," Andrew said fondly. As he reached out his heart hurt a little, thinking yet again of his other dog. He hated thinking about it, but the way the poor pup of his had died had been enough to drive Andrew mad for a small time. He didn't want Praxis to know about it, so he shut it from his mind before the picture became clear in his head. Cerberus licked his hand and placed his head against Andrew's palm for a moment -seeming to know what ailed him- before he lay back down again and went to sleep. The children had tired him out immensely it seemed. "How will I get Ash if anything happens? I had to break the orb at the house..." He told her. As much as he had hated Ash before, he had no qualms with him now, and he needed the mutt. As he thought about it, a gentle, barely noticeable grin spread. Of course he knew both the women in the room would notice it, they knew him much too well.

Viktor let them tug him about, tackle him and he played with them. As he chased Cyprus Dreama sat atop his shoulders holding onto his horns. "Faster, faster!" She'd cry in a fit of giggles, but he couldn't catch him. "I'm too slow," he told her through laughs.

"Very well." She went to turn around and force the door to disappear when he spoke. "You wont be needing him. If something happens call for me with the earring I left last time, I'll keep mine on. It's best to leave the boy to his studies." She closed the door behind her and it disappeared. "If you need me or anything else send an Elf for me. I'll be going for now." She glided over and put her hand to Praxis' stomach. After a moment she pet the dog and moved back to the door. "That babe is going to be something worth fearing someday." She grinned, glad they were on her side, and then moved as the door appeared again. "Rest my lovelies." with that she slipped through the door and it disappeared again.

Praxis put a hand on her stomach and kept close to Andrew. She couldn't help smiling at that. She already loved her wonderful child, knowing he'd be part of her whole world the moment he was born. Hell, he already was. Shifting slightly, Praxis kissed Andrew gently, her lips soft but still rather cold as she sunk her love into the kiss. "Are you sure you want to stay with me this week?" she whispered gently, not wanting him to stay if he'd rather go. She didn't want to impose no matter what.

"His pet is more like it," Andrew muttered with a grin. He'd seen how possessive Ash was of Victoire and it only made him smirk. He figured it was just because Ash was sleeping with her, but it was still amusing all the same. If he didn't have Praxis he'd challenge Ash, but he was content with his bride to be. In the past Andrew had a fun time proving that he could win over any woman, no matter who she was with... except Micajah. They always found themselves at a stalemate it seemed, but Andrew never had a problem with anyone else. Now that he was with Praxis, he truly feared Micajah being around. Not because he was afraid of him physically, but he didn't want him around confusing his bride. He was going to marry her, have a family, and kill anyone or anything that got in his way. "Of course I want to stay with you, now hush." he said with another grin. He cuddled to her and kissed her back, slipping under the covers himself finally. "Come on, she said rest. I'll stay with you, and yes I want to." he said before she had a chance to ask or argue. He knew better. If he left that room he had a feeling he'd come back to find her walking around. He wouldn't stand for that. No, he would make sure she and his child were safe.
