Harper sat with Neave facing her on her lap. Gently, she rocked her back and forth almost tipping Neave off of her lap. Neave leant all the way back squealing happily as her hair flipped back, causing it to dangle off her head. She smiled widely as Harper repeatedly bobbed her up and down.

"Oh no, she's going to fall!" Harper teased playfully whilst lowering Neave ever so closer to the floor before rapidly pulling her back up straight and engulfing her in a tight hug.

"You're gonna be sorry you've started that you know," Alex told her smirking.

"Yeah well it's my duty as god mother to play with Neave as much as she wants. No matter how exhausting it becomes."

"How many more times are you planning on bring that up?"

"That I'm her god mother?" Harper asked, "probably forever!"

Alex smiled and then cast a worried glance over to her bedroom door which was closed over. Harper watched her friend as she began to fidget with her nails whilst she continued to look over to her room.

"Hey Alex," began Harper sensitively, "you okay?"

Alex looked away from the door and turned to Harper before smiling slightly, "yeah," she sighed, "I'm just worried about Mason. We kind of had a fight earlier, well it wasn't a fight, more like a disagreement."

"So you had a fight?"

Alex groaned loudly, "I don't know!" She threw herself back on to the couch. Laying flat on her back, Alex flung her hands over her face and let out another mournful whine. "Why are relationships so complicated!" She cried dramatically.

"Well what happened?"

Alex sat back up, her wavy hair flipped over on to her face causing it to be covered completely. Harper snickered to herself as she watched Alex slowly pull her hair apart, revealing her big sad eyes and pouted pink lips.

"You cant tell anyone," Alex started quietly.

Harper immediately gasped in excitement, "you're pregnant aren't you!"

Alex let out a roar of laughter, "Harper please, don't be ridiculous! No, Justin has give me a job on the wizard council."

Harper let out a shrieking laugh that caused Neave to jump in her seat. Both Alex and Neave looked at Harper in confusion, as soon as Harper saw Alex's face she immediately stopped, "oh, your being serious? You on the wizard council?"

"Yes!" Exclaimed Alex, "but while I'm working and while Mason is in college I want Neave to go to day care. But Mason doesn't want her to."

"So that was the disagreement?"

Alex nodded, "then to make things worse I may have joked about putting Neave up for adoption."

Harper cringed, "smart move Alex," she said sarcastically.

"I know!" She whined, "now I think he's mad. He went straight in to our room and he hasn't come out."

"Have you tried talking to him?" Alex shook her head silently whilst Harper sighed dramatically and rolled her eyes. "Again, smart move Alex!"

"It's just going to be awkward!"

"Alex he's probably in there doing his work, all you have to do is go in and offer him a drink or something. Break the ice and then when he replies just talk."

"Yeah I guess so."

Alex and Harper then suddenly turned their heads towards the bedroom door as it gradually creaked open. Alex looked at Harper in panic, here eyes opened wide and her arms began to flap as she moved closer to her friend. "Quick act natural!" She demanded as she sat up right, flicking her long hair flirtaciously and painting a large fake smile on to her face.

"Wow, smooth Alex," whispered Harper causing Alex to give her a swift elbow to her ribs.

Mason walked out of the bedroom with his arms held out in front of him. His soft hands were coated in dark charcoal which shone when he passed under a wave of light. He shot a large grin over to the girls who sat on the couch watching him quietly.

"Oh hi Harper," he greeted, "sorry I would have stopped working if I knew you were here."

"It's fine!" She told him smiling, then quietly she whispered to Alex, "told you…"

Neave rose from Harpers lap and stretched her arms in the air, clenching and unclenching her fists repeatedly as she looked to Mason. She murmured and moaned as she became more frustrated, begging to be picked up she bounced up and down, looking up to him desperately.

"Alight love, let daddy wash his hands," he told her as he walked over to the kitchen sink. Neave stood watching him from the couch, constantly moaning and mumbling as she examined his every move. But her face overcome with delight when Mason made his way over from the sink and lifted her up in to his arms, kissing her softly on the head. She instantly snuggled up in to the crick of his neck and hugged him tightly before wriggling out of his arms and on to the floor. Neave then cautiously wobbled over to a pile of her toys on the floor with Mason carefully guiding her from behind.

Neave bent down and carefully reached over and grabbed her stuffed bunny, she squeezed it tightly while the others watched her in awe. She then flung it over to Harper before scampering over to her and reaching out for her to be lifted up.

"You little nutter," laughed Mason whilst he sat down next to Alex.

Neave cackled wildly and through herself on to Harper before hugging her tightly. Subtly Alex inched closer to Mason and quietly whispered in to his ear, "I'm sorry for what I said. I'm an idiot."

Mason smirked and glanced at Alex, "I'm sorry for what I said. I'm an idiot too." Alex looked at him and smiled before resting her head on to Mason's shoulder. "We'll talk later," he told her as he kissed her softly on the head and wrapped his muscular arm around her shoulders.

Harper watched Alex and Mason happily, relieved for her friend that everything would be ok, she caught Alex's eye and beamed a smile in her direction, which Alex quickly returned. Harper then froze as she felt a warm trail of wet slide up her cheek. Alex and Mason gasped in shock as they both tried to fight back their laughter as they watched Neave sluggishly lick Harper's rosy cheek with her small pink tongue. Alex clasped her hand quickly over her mouth, her shoulders jerked up and down as she silently laughed to herself while Mason cringed at his daughters actions.

"Neave no!" He called, "Dirty! No!"

Neave began to snicker and she started to wiggle her tongue around, speedily licking away Harper's makeup from her face. Desperately, Harper swiftly attempted to remove Neave from her face.

"Eww Neave!" She cried in disgust, "stop it!"

But Neave simply ignored Harper and continued to repeatedly lick her on the face. Seeing how uncomfortable Harper looked, Mason rapidly rose from his seat and removed Neave from Harper's lap. He then placed her on the floor and sternly told her, "no!"

Neave stopped making eye contact with Mason and hung her head low in shame. Quickly, she sauntered off whimpering and moaning to herself as she circled the room. Mason rolled his eyes and groaned, "Sorry Harper."

"It's fine," she laughed, "I just hope I still have some makeup left on my face," she told them as she patted her face dry with her hand.

"Yeah, because you're going to want to look your best encase you bump into Zeke," teased Alex.

"What Zeke? Is he back?" Mason asked.

"Apparently, Justin said he's been meeting up with him when he hasn't been working," Alex told Harper, "he told me Zeke's been asking about you."

Harper blushed, "really?" Alex and Mason smirked at each other before turning back to Harper who was laughing nervously to herself. "Well what do I care right? I mean I'm the one who broke up with him."

"Yeah, why did you do that again?" Alex asked abruptly, causing Mason to glare at her in shock and subtly shake his head trying to signal to her to stop talking. "Umm, sorry," she groaned.

"No it's fine. I just thought he was too childish for me."

Alex burst out laughing hysterically, Mason and Harper looked at her awkwardly as she launched herself forward while she clutched her sides laughing. "Yeah, like that time he tried to get you to dress as Princess Peach for your anniversary!"

Mason snickered loudly, causing Harper to glare at him angrily. Her eyes narrowed and begn to burn in to Mason's skin, feeling very uncomfortable he quickly apologised, "sorry."

"At least he put thought in to it!" Harper began as she defended Zeke, "he thought it would be romantic! We spent our first date playing Mario Kart, it would have been perfect but I don't like to be seen in stupid outfits like that."

Alex and Mason scanned Harper's body and took notice of her plump pink dress, that was covered in white scratchy frills and hand sewn white and purple sheep. Not to mention the illuminous pink Shepard's crook she had rested next to her against the couch, which neave was now crouching next to deciding how she was going to sneak it away from the adults without drawing attention to herself.

"Obviously," scoffed Alex sarcastically.

"Well I bet you can't name something romantic you two do when it's your anniversary," Harper teased, trying to get the better of Alex.

"Easy, have sex like any other couple!"

"Alex!" exclaimed Mason, swooping Neave up in his arms before she had the chance to swipe at the large Shepards crook infront of her.

"What? It's true!"

"Yeah but you don't have to blurt it out infront of the baby!"

Alex gave a large chuckle, "oh please like she understands!"

"Can we maybe not talk about this?" Mason asked quietly, shielding Neave's ears.

"Yeah we should," Harper interrupted awkwardly.

"You just want to carry on talking about Zeke," Alex taunted her, making Harper's cheeks turn crimson red.

"No I don't! We're over! Anyway, enough about me lets talk about you councillor Russo!"

"It's mad isn't it," smiled Mason, "I'm so proud of you." He told Alex, who smiled sweetly up at him.

"I know, I can't wait to see how my parents react to it…"
