Chapter Ten
Draco woke shrieking like a castration, or more humanely, a bris, was occurring. However, do not fear, Draco was not getting either of the two done upon him. Instead, his daughter, bright eyed and bushy-tailed had her face as close as humanly possible to her father's and a huge smile to go along with it. "Arissa!" He said, screeching.
"HAH! I told you I could get daddy to sound like a girl." Arissa said to the door, which was the hiding place for an on-looking Ryan.
"Oh is that it, is it?" Draco asked as Arissa tumbled into the empty spot in between him and Angelie.
"Yes, daddy. Yes it is." Arissa replied. "And mummy, why on Earth is she still sleeping?"
"I think you should wake her." Draco said, smirking. "Have Ryan come along. Come on, Ryan, if it's BOTH of you, then she won't think it's my fault."
The twins were highly successful in waking their mother. "You know, Draco, you think that because my eyes are closed, I'm not awake." Angelie said, hitting him with a pillow.
"Well, NORMAL people open their eyes when they wake up." Draco replied.
"Knowing how you look in the morning? I think not." Angelie said, feigning a shield over her eyes.
Draco looked at her sneering, before he laughed and leaned towards Angelie, kissing her gently. "Ah, and this reminds me I have to go and make reservations for tonight."
"Where are we going?" Arissa asked, managing to jump onto her father's back.
"You and your brother, love, are going to Emma's house." Draco replied.
"Oh, then, where are you and mummy going?" Arissa asked, watching as Draco headed into a small office-type room. "Daddy! Can I use your computer?"
Draco set her down and she scampered to the computer, immediately going to the Sims computer game. "Ahh! Arissa, don't go to my house!"
"Which one's your house?" Arissa asked.
"The really big one." He said, picking up the handset of the telephone.
Arissa shrugged and continued to play as her father was on the phone. She saw Ryan pass by and left the game running. Draco was on the phone for another half hour, trying to sweet talk the restauranteur into giving him a better offer. After succeeding he looked at the computer screen. "No! They're not on independent thought! Noooo! She's wet herself!" Draco yelled, getting immersed in his game.
Angelie poked her head into his office. "What are you going on about?" Draco didn't answer so she decided to see what he was frantically clicking his mouse for.
"Draco.you're real children are waiting for you at breakfast." Angelie said, kissing his cheek.
"But..." He sputtered helplessly at the computer.
"Draco Malfoy, it's a GAME." Angelie said, stifling a laugh. "And besides, you don't have to save it."
Draco looked blankly at the computer screen and decided to shut it down. He came into the kitchen, and it looked more like a war zone. He opened his mouth to say something before bits of oatmeal were flung at him. "Who started this?"
"Oh relax Draco, really, the house elves can clean it." Angelie replied.
"You know, Hermione still doesn't approve of the whole house elf thing." Draco replied taking the spoons and bowls away from Arissa and Ryan.
"Oh but daddy! We were THIS close to getting you in your hair." Arissa sighed.
"You know how hard your daddy has to work to get his hair absolutely immaculate?" Angelie asked.
"Oh I love the sarcasm in your voice Angelie. It's absolutely darling." Draco replied.

Oliver heard a lot of racket going on from the portal. Emma came running towards him and grinned "Ryan and Arissa are here!"
"Oh are they?" Oliver asked. He walked into the portal room and found the two fighting because Arissa landed on Ryan's leg.
"That's my leg you hurt!" Ryan said, pushing her.
"Well if you got off your bum faster." Arissa replied, pushing him back.
"If you could just wait!" Ryan replied. Tempers flared of the Malfoy kind all around the room.
Angelie and Draco Apparated as Oliver stood there helplessly watching Arissa and Ryan. "I'd interfere, but I do value my own life."
"Oh, thanks Oliver. Much appreciated." Draco replied, slowly pulling Ryan away from Arissa. "Look, Angelie and I have a dinner date, and we were wondering..."
"You're already here, aren't you?" Oliver asked, grinning. "You've made it so I can't say no."
"That was her idea." Draco replied.
"It worked." Angelie said.
"So, how long are we keeping your tykes for? Till twelve tonight? Tomorrow afternoon? Next week?" Oliver asked. "A few months to give time for honeymoon?"
"Goodness." Angelie replied, Disapparating.
Draco looked around, shiftily. "If we're not back by ten..." he trailed off and winked. "I'll see you later."
