Disclaimer: I do not own Harry potter nor do I own any of the characters with the exception of Nadia (stress the first a Naah-dia), her parents, Kyro (pronounced Kii like a long 'I' and roh) and a few others to come in future chapters which will be listed then.
Blaise stares at me for a few seconds then he alternates between me and Kyro. He snaps out of whatever trance he is in and smiles. He comes closer kisses me on the mouth, Kyro on the forehead and then wrap his arms around the both of us…yeah I can picture us being a family.
"Jeez daddy, no need to get so girly." Kyro says with a fake disgusted look but I can see the smile at the corner of his mouth as well as in his eyes. Blaise begins to laugh and I just grin at the both of them. He takes Kyro from my arms and they both begin to play wrestle…probably trying to make up for the feminine moment just then. I smile and walk to the kitchen island to take a seat and holy shit! What the hell was that?! I jump off the seat like I've been burned and look to see what I've sat on…nothing.
"Is something the matter dear?" I hear Zarah ask. I look up and everyone is looking at me confused. Then I see the light bulb go off in Blaises head and he grins mischievously and turns his head away. Wait what does he know that I don't? I'm confused. I look at my mother and Zarah, they still look confused for a few seconds and then recognition hits them both. Okay can someone let me in on the secret? My mom gives me a knowing look…the look she gave me when we were all talking about sex a few months back and then it hits me like a ton of bricks- I'm sore, my bum and my kitty cat, and they know it. My face heats up immediately, I am thoroughly embarrassed. I turn away and begin to walk towards the living room. It hurts to walk…what the hell? It didn't hurt all of this morning. Maybe that was because I was distracted with our new found connection, being pregnant-with twins mind you, and being asked to be someone's mum. I guess that's understandable...maybe.
As I approach the door my mom calls out "Oh darling don't be embarrassed. It's a natural thing that all adults have to do at some point…or most anyways." I stop and turn. I can tell my mom and Zarah are holding back laughter and Blaise is eyeing me like he wants to repeat the acts that got me this way in the first place…Kyro just looks confused.
"Mommy are you okay? Did you fall down? Does you bum-bum hurt? Is that why you can't sit down?" My mom, Zarah and Blaise burst into laughter and my embarrassment just worsens. I feel as if I'm blushing from head to toe. I shake my head and turn away again.
"Okay, Okay we'll stop. I promise." My mother says still laughing. "Scouts honour." She says.
"Mom you're not a scout." I reply.
"Just come back and sit down" she burst into laughter and the others join. I sigh annoyed. "I mean stand-up."
"Ha, ha we got ourselves a real comedian over here." I deadpan. My phone begins to ring, it's Hermione. Thank God. I see Zarah, Blaise, and Kyro look at the phone in my hand strangely and I remember that they are not used to these sorts of things… At least something shuts them up. "Hello"
"Hey are you busy today?" Hermione asks.
"No,Not really. Why?"
"Well a few of us were going to grab some pizza. Do you want to come?" Anything to get away from the three hyenas.
"Sure, what time?"
"We are all going to meet within the next half hour or so at pizza hut. The one we usually go to when Drake is on his pizza binge." I laugh and she laughs. I remember the last time he was obsessed with pizza and as a lesson mione let him have as much as he wanted plus sweets. He was on the toilet the whole evening- it was coming out of both ends.
"Okay I'll meet you there."
"Kay" I hang up.
"Where are you going?" Blaise asks immediately after I hang up. I assume my mom told them what an Iphone was or a cell phone in general.
"To get pizza with Mione and the other guys."
"Guys?"
"I mean like Ginny, Harry, Luna, Theo, Ron, Lav, the kids and whoever else they decide to bring. Oh Ky, do you want to come with me?" He nods vigorously. I Look up and Blaise is still staring suspiciously at me.
"When do we meet them?" I notice he said we…did he just invite himself? I'm pretty sure mione isn't over her Blaise dislike yet. Well that's the understatement of the year.
"Well she says in the next thirty minutes or so." I look at myself and I guess I look fine to go to a pizza place and I look at Ky and he is still in his pajamas. "I guess I'll just take Ky to change and we'll be on our way" I try to subtly let him know that the invitation is not extended to him.
"Okay lets go…I need to take a quick shower though." Is he just purposefully ignoring me? I look at my mom and she and Zarah are trying to hold back grins. I believe he is. I see Zarah mouth 'I told you he won't let you go anywhere alone.' I sigh defeated…this is going to be a long lunch.
-:):):)-
I finish dressing Kyro in the most muggle looking thing I find in his closet…and Blaise talked about the extravagance of my closet-hipocrite. I hear someone enter the door. I look behind me- it's Blaise. I'm about to look away but I have to do a double take.
"What are you wearing?" I ask incredulously.
He looks down at himself "Well I assumed it was a muggle place that we're going to so I thought that my muggle clothes would be best…Draco helped me to buy some a few days ago. Did I put them on wrong?" I look him over head to toe. I didn't mean to ask him like that. He doesn't look bad…he looks yummy even. I just didn't expect it. He is wearing a simple black t-shirt, a pair of jeans, and what looks to be a pair of Jordans. Yeah I can tell drake dressed him, his go-to shoes are Jordans…especially when we aren't going anywhere fancy.
"You look great. That is normally the type of thing people wear to everyday places." He nods walks over with a bag I didn't notice he was carrying. He hands it to me and I can't help but to look at his biceps straining under his shirt… I remember him wrapping me in his big arms and I moan slightly and catch myself. I look up at him under my lashes and he is looking at me with his eyebrows slightly raised. I snatch the bag from him and look away with my face flaming. I look into the bag to distract myself and notice that in it is a blue shirt, a pair of jeans, a pair of socks and mini Jordans for Ky. I don't hesitate- I take them out of the bag and begin to help Ky change. I can feel Blaise burning a hole into my back with his eyes. When I finish I say "Let's go."' I stand and Ky races out of the room before me as I reach the door I feel Blaise take a hold of my elbow. He pulls my back to his chest and puts his lips to my ears.
"Would you like me to take care of you before we leave? It won't take long…we could make it all about you; I could use my mouth on you, or if you prefer we could do more than that. Your wish is my command." He whispers huskily and my core becomes soaked. I clear my throat.
"We need to go. I really don't want to." I say and my voice sounds weak. He inhales deeply.
"You are not a good liar and I've told you before I can smell your arousal- it's mouthwatering. It makes no sense to deny it." Oh God- I almost give in.
"N-no Blaise. I told mione I would meet her and we need to go." He begins to kiss down my neck then back up. He sucks my earlobe into his mouth when he reaches it and I feel the evidence of his arousal pressed firmly into my back. I'm tingling all over and I know if I don't put a stop to this right now I may just let him have me right here on the floor. I pull away and stride quickly and purposefully through the door, down the hall, and down the staircase.
Kyro is standing by the fireplace practically bouncing in his excitement. "Are we going now?" he asks.
"As soon as your dad comes downstairs we can go." I reply, I know he needs some time to collect himself. We stand there for about two minutes before we see him coming down the stairs with a disappointed look on his face. I pick Kyro up as Blaise approaches us. I hold out my other hand for him. He looks confused but takes my hand anyway. I appear us to an empty field for sale close by the pizza hut. The grass around us is a mixture of brown and green and it is all about the same height as me. There is a path in the grass where mione, I, and the others have taken many times before so the grass doesn't grow right in that area.
"Are you going to tell me how you-" he starts.
"I'll tell you later" I cut him off.
"That felt different. My belly button doesn't feel weird." Kyro says matter of factly. I put him down and hold my hand out for him and he takes it. He holds his other hand out towards his father and he takes it as well.
"It's just up the road" I say and they both nod. We walk out of the field and past four buildings and cross the road to the building with the red roof. Blaise holds open the door for me, Kyro and a few strangers then he comes in. I look over and notice mione and the others by a table in the back where the waitress is joining a movable table with an unmovable one. I notice other than the few strangers who came to pick up an order we are the only ones here. Hermione looks up like she feels someone watching her and her face instantly darkens. She scowls openly at Blaise. Here we go. I walk over to the table with Kyro in tow and Blaise right behind me. Hermione eyes Blaise up and down.
"Never thought I would see the day that a 'Great Zabini'" She says mockingly "Would be in a straight up muggle place much less be wearing muggle clothes. Did you hit your head? Should we take you in to get checked out?" she says maliciously.
"After all these years, I still see that you have that stick up your arse. Some people just don't change." He replies in kind.
"Hah! Well at least I can stay true to myself. Not like you and your mum who just suck up to the winning side- neutral my arse!" she says and I think she has gone a bit far with the mum thing.
"What arse? As far as I know you have none. But then again I never found that you were worth a second look."
"Ahah! See Nadia, he is the same prejudice arsehole he was in school. With all this purebloods are superior bullshit." Everyone is stunned at how quickly this went downhill…even me.
"Well you're even more ignorant than I thought. I was not referring to you blood status, just that you are not my type and as far as I know Nadia is halfblood. I have no problem with blood status. I did when I was a child I admit that- and my mother? Please. She never believed in that shit and you know it, she was neutral, my stepfather and I were not. So don't say things that you don't know. Like many other people I believed that shit but I grew up and started to think for myself. Maybe you should leave childish things behind and grow up too Granger. Salazar knows you are still the same and the only one being prejudice here is you-always bringing up this blood purity foolishness whenever you and I get into a spat."
"Fuck you arsehole I am not prejudice!" I quickly cover Kyros ears and I see the others do the same to the other kids. "Quit being a bitch Zabini!"
"You're the bitch." Blaise says deceptively calm but I know better by the set of his jawline. Hermione gasps shocked and I know I have to act. I step in between them and Draco grabs Hermione before she lunges at Blaise-he doesn't even flinch. Draco drags her towards the door for some air while the employees look on stunned and I turn to Blaise.
"What was that?" I whisper. "I've never heard you speak to someone like that before."
"She started it." He replies stubbornly.
"Has it always been like this between you two?"
"It's gotten better." He replies.
"Well if this is better then you guys must have been hexing each other before right?" I say jokingly trying to lighten the mood. He just looks at me with a straight face but doesn't comment... I guess that's my answer. "I know you two have your differences… your big differences but I'd really like it if you got along or at least tolerate her presence- she is my cousin after all."
"I didn't start it; she did. I would have never said anything if she didn't and if anyone needs to be told to control themselves it's her." He says stubbornly.
"Yes and I'm sure Draco is telling her the same thing I'm telling you. Please just-" I sigh "Let's have a peaceful lunch please? I really don't want to have to deal with this sort of thing today." I'm already tired of this and it's only the second time I've seen an altercation between them and the first time Blaise didn't retaliate. I bring my hands up to my face, take a deep breath, and rub both sides of my temple. I feel his large hands clasp around my wrists and he pulls my hands downward and tilts my face up.
"I'm sorry. I'll be on my best behavior I promise." He gives me a chaste kiss on the forehead and then he kisses my lips, but instead of a chaste kiss he deepens this one and I let him. I hear someone loudly clear their throat-mione. I pull away from him and look to see Hermione and the others sitting looking at us. I blush. Kyro is the first to move; he slides into a seat then Blaise slides in after him and I take the end.
"Sorry I'm late. I just had to help my aunt with a few things real quick." I hear a voice say and I look up to see…oh no-Cormac Mclaggen, Why me?! Last year at a Christmas party at Ron's house he was trying his utmost best to hit on me and no matter what I tried he just would not take a hint. He is just too confident in himself-thinking no one can say no to him. What is he doing here? I look at Ginny and she looks apologetic at me and I look at Hermione and she is smiling evilly at Blaise. Oh my God what did you do? Cormac takes the seat right across from me and our eyes meet he grins and I try to smile but I think it came off as a grimace. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket and I'm glad for the distraction. I pull it out and I see a message from Ginny.
From Gin-
Mione didn't invite him to piss Zabini off don't worry. He sort of invited himself. You know she is just grinning like that because he is bound to piss off Zabini…kind of like payback. We saw him earlier and he and Theo got to chatting then Theo told him what we were doing and who was coming and as soon as he heard that you were going to be here he practically invited himself. I wanted to warn you but the thing between Mione and Zabini started and I got distracted. Sorry. :(
I finish reading and I hit the reply button.
To Gin
That's okay it isn't your fault. It's only one lunch to endure how bad could it be?
I reply but don't look up. A few seconds later I get a new message
From Gin
You and I both know 'how bad could it be?' is a bad omen…you're just asking for trouble. But lets just hope that this isn't one of those times.
To Gin
Yes lets.
I look up finally and I know Ginny won't look up yet because it would make it too obvious. Cormac is still smiling at me "So Nadia?"
"Cormac"
"Well…wow you look as beautiful as ever. I haven't seen you since the Christmas party. How have you been?" I feel Blaise stiffen beside me.
"Fine"
"Just fine?"
"Mmhmmm" the waitress comes just in time and I sigh in relief she takes our food and drink order and leaves. Harry looks at me then quickly turns to Cormac and starts speaking to him so that he doesn't speak with me and I'm grateful. The kids begin to chatter as well as the adults. At every turn Cormac attempts to add me to the conversation. Theo and Draco speak with Blaise but from his answers I can tell he is not really listening to them. The food arrives and we all begin to eat- but I can barely eat anything because Cormac continues to flirt shamelessly with me. I can tell Blaise is having a difficult time keeping his promise to me. Though the initial promise wasn't for Cormac I know that he knew I meant no conflict whatsoever. I hear the kids speaking about magical accidents that they've had…well not accidents as they see it. Kyro begins to tell them about a few instances as well as him making Azzan fly. Jenivive gasps.
"Really you wanted your toy to float and it did?" she looks amazed "I try that sometimes but it doesn't work unless I'm mad. Are you sure?" Kyro nods vigorously.
"If you don't believe me you can ask my mum." He says confidently and Jenivive looks confused. Kyro turns to me.
"Mummy don't you remember that day that I made Azzan fly?"
"I do" I say and he grins proudly as the other kids ooh and aah with the exception of Lukas and Jenivive who look confused…I assume about Kyro calling me mum. Before they even ask me Cormac beats them to it.
"You have a kid?" he asks incredulously and looks partially disgusted…I would have said this before if I knew that he would react like this.
"Yes"
"When did you get a kid?" he asks rudely "Wait- isn't this Zabini's and Daphnes kid?" he looks relieved "Ohh I get it. It's a game right?"
Before I get to answer Kyro says "Daphneen isn't my mum silly." he says it like Cormac is crazy. Cormac observes him for a bit. But if you didn't know that he was Daphene's son you would never be able to tell because he looks so much like Blaise.
"Oh so you're not Daphne's son so that means you're either Daphene's or Astorias then because I remember hearing that one of them got married to Zabini?"
Kyro looks at him like he is slow and he speaks to him accordingly. "No, Nadia is my mommy." He says slowly and I have to hold back my laughter.
"Cormac will you stop questioning my child." I say before he continues and he looks at me then he looks at the person next to me-Blaise. I know that Blaise has been pissed since Cormac began to talk to me because his muscles haven't relaxed as yet.
"So you two are together then?" he looks distastefully at Blaise and Blaise turns to face him. I grab his hand and give him a firm reassuring squeeze. He looks at me then at Cormac he turns back to his plate and begins to 'eat'.
"Are you okay Mr?" Kyro asks. "I though adults were spose to be smart. If he is my daddy and she is my mummy then they have to be together…they wouldn't be mummy and daddy if they weren't." Kyro rolls his eyes and sighs exasperated at having to explain his logic to an adult. Before Cormac make another comment Ginny interrupts.
"Oookay time to go. Harry and I were taking the kids to the park. Do you guys all want to take your kids as well?" and a chorus of pleases start. Kyro looks at his dad with his puppy dog face and I follow suit. It gets a small smile from him and he nods slightly. We all get up to leave after we have paid. Ginny lets us know the park isn't too far and that we can walk. To my displeasure-Cormac doesn't leave.
-:):):)-
When we arrive at the park he still insists to stick by me. "I see that you don't have a ring on. Do you and Zabini share custody?" he is really beginning to piss me off. The kids are all playing, the men with the exception of Cormac are by the oak tree talking and the women are all by the benches watching our kid…plus one Cormac.
"We are very much together" I say annoyed.
"Well he must not think very much of you if he hasn't married you yet. A beautiful woman like you should be cherished and loved. You are too good for a former death eater. He doesn't deserve you." He grabs my hand "If you give me a chance I could-" but I don't hear the rest because Blaise has seen the action and is coming towards us fire ablaze in his eyes. The only time I've seen him look like this is when he thought I was seeing someone else…the night I ended up in the hospital. Okay remember what Zarah said, I can calm him. I prepare myself for the tidal wave of emotion I will be hit with and I open the connection. He is beyond pissed but something changes. He stops immediately and stares almost slack jawed at me. I close the connection. What's the matter now? He begins to come toward me but instead of the fury before, he looks like he is about to burst with joy. I realize Cormac is still talking and holding me. I pull my hand from his grasp and step around him towards Blaise.
Blaise stops in front of me and pulls me into his arms and into a deep kiss. I could kiss this man forever. I hear someone clear their throat and a chorus of eww and giggles erupt from the kids. Eww's from the boys, and giggles from the girls. I pull away from Blaise and look to the ground a bit embarrassed. I feel him take my hand and begin to pull me away from everyone.
The park is large with lush flora surrounding it as well as a duck pond, a playground, many benches, and the large oak tree. He pulls me toward a bench on the other side of the park. Far enough so that no one can hear us but close enough so that we can keep an eye on Ky. I sit down but he remains standing grinning at me. The suspense is killing me. "What is it?" I finally ask.
He is still grinning and then he bites his lip…I want to bite that lip. "The bond is complete. I felt you just then. Our connection…didn't you feel it? Or was that just me being hopeful" he says and I can see his smile begin to fade.
"The connection thing has been there from this morning." I tell him quickly before his mood goes downhill.
"This morning?" he asks confused and I realize that I didn't fill him in on anything that went on before he got up.
"Oh well-you see-I…uhhh, well this morning when I got up I noticed that I could feel you. I went to my mother's to investigate whether or not I was crazy and your mom happened to be there and she filled me in on all the details…you know wh-what it takes to finish the bond. I'm sorry I didn't say anything." I finish self-consciously though I don't know why.
"Don't apologize. So she told you everything?" I nod "I feel like I should apologize for not letting you know before-hand." I shake my head
"It's okay"
"Are you sure she let you know everything or do you want me to start from the beginning?"
"You can start from the top if you like but she gave me some books. We did a test this morning and I am definitely pregnant…with twins" I say the last part lower than the rest but he still hears me.
"A-are you sure?" Shit, is he mad?
"Positive." I reply and before I have time to look up he is down on his knees in front of me and he pulls me into a deep kiss. Maybe he's not mad. When we eventually break apart he is still smiling from ear to ear. He bends further down and nuzzles his face to my stomach and begins to place light kisses all over it.
"I will spend my days making sure you are happy. I promise. I love you so much. I-I…no later." Not this starting a statement and not finishing it again.
"Blaise you know I hate that. Please just tell me."
"It's not the right place." I frown and pout at him…I wonder if crossing my arms would be too much? I think it would. I know another way though.
"Blaise I thought you said you would spend your days making sure I was happy?" He looks at me confused but nods. "Well I'm not very happy right now because you won't tell me." I whine and I know it's not fair- but hey, I'm still a teenager…sue me. He stares into my eyes for a bit and then he finally nods. He gets up and then brushes of his jeans. He looks over his shoulder and calls out to Kyro.
"Kyro, rimanere qui. Tornerò presto."
"Dove vai papà?" Kyro calls back. He can speak Italian? I had no idea.
"Per una passeggiata con tua madre. Comportati bene." I understood part of that because in spanish con is 'with' and I can only assume tua is you or your because you in Spanish is tu and madre is the same word in Italian and Spanish. So he was obviously saying he was going somewhere with Kyros mum. Oh that's me…aww he called me his mum. It is the first time since the initial shock of it that Blaise has referred to me as Kyros mom and even though he said it in another language I am still happy. Kyro nods vigorously. Blaise holds on to my hand and pulls me further towards the flora on the edges of the park.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"For a walk"
"Aren't you going to tell me?"
"Yes." He says simply. We walk for a bit into the trees until we come upon a beautiful meadow.
"How did you know this was here?" I gasp the beautiful collage of colors, it's breath taking. The blues, the violets, oranges, greens, and pinks- all in different shades and all look as though they have been lightly misted with rain.
"I didn't" he replies. "Nadia…I really didn't want to have to say it like this…I had a big dinner planned and everything, but I did promise to make you happy. From the first day I saw you I knew you were something special. You are my soulmate…my other half. I couldn't imagine a world- a life where you didn't exist. You make me want to be a better person. I love you more than mere words can express. You are the light in my tunnel of darkness and every day I fall more and more in love with you. When you are not around I can't help but think about you and I wonder if you are thinking about me-" Is he doing what the hell I think he is doing? Am I ready? Oh God! Oh God, oh God, oh God… he gets down on one knee. He pulls a rather breathtakingly beautiful ring from his pocket. The ring has a petite golden band, and a rather large looking opal that has a perfect fusion of blue and green in a radiant cut with diamonds lining both sides…it's beautiful. "This is my family ring. My grandmother gave it to me and told me to give this to the woman who I love the most, who I knew deserved it and I always thought that I would never use it. But I am happy that my love, my soul mate has come along and given me the opportunity to finally say and finally mean I love you with all my heart, there is no one else for me, I would be nothing without you and I would love it if you would do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
I don't know what to do or what to say. I can see the sincerity and devotion in his eyes but I am stunned. I was warned by his mother and yet I am still stunned. I don't know how long I stood there indecisively staring at him but I know it's too long because I can see the hurt begin to form in his eyes and I don't have to check the connection to know that I am hurting him by standing here. Say yes! It won't kill you! My brain yells at me. I look into his eyes and they look as if he is forcing back tears and I know if I don't say something now there will be no room for damage control. He begins to retract his arm and I quickly say "Yes. I will, of course I will." He looks stunned but then he smiles- one of the biggest ones I've seen so far and reaches for my hand and slips the ring onto my finger. It fits? Oh yeah magical ring. He stands up and pulls me right off the ground into a deep kiss. The happiness is radiating off of him in waves. "I love you." I whisper after he has thoroughly kissed me. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. Of course I love this man. I couldn't imagine my life without him…I've been trying to analyze and dissect the situation when all I had to do was feel and lead with my heart.
"Say it again." He tells me.
"I Love you Blaise Alexander Luciano Zabini. With all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my being." I say sincerely and I don't know how I didn't realize this before. He pulls me in for another kiss and we pour all of the passion that we feel into the kiss. We both pull back out of breath. He puts his forehead down on mine and I close my eyes and try to clear my head. I remember where we are and I open my eyes. "Blaise I think we need to head back." He opens his eyes as well, looks around us and then nods.
*AN
This is not the end you guys. I have more to go and no it wont be all flufly from here on out...or not too fluffy at least. When I decided to write this story I actually had two ideas in mind. The same characters of course minus the kids because they would be attending hogwarts instead. Nadia would have the same abilities, but Blaise would have to be a bit darker because he was supposed to be a prat in school. I think I may just post that one as well for fun because I actually started on it last night.
Here are some some translations:
*Kyro, rimanere qui. Tornerò presto. = Kyro, stay here. I'll be back soon.
"Dove vai papà?=Where are you going dad?
*Per una passeggiata con tua madre. Comportati bene.=For a walk with your mother. Behave yourself.
Until next time Keep calm and be positive ;).
