Adelaine woke up on Lee's thirtieth birthday with his hand cupping her bare breast again. Not that she particularly minded. She moved slightly.

"I want to snuggle more," Lee whined pulling her closer.

"Whatever you want, birthday boy," Adelaine snuggled deeper into her husband's chest.

Lee smiled down at his wife and said. "I'm getting old, but I'm still very sexy."

"Not to mention cocky but I have to agree," Adelaine said, twirling one of his slowly going gray dreadlocks around her finger.

Lee could feel himself growing hard just at this slight touch. They haven't made love in ten months or so. Adelaine smirked knowingly at her husband. It's a good thing all three kids were over their grandparents so they could make some love that was very long overdue. Lee began kissing her neck. She let out a loud moan at the contact. Lee continued kissing her and undressed her.

"You ready love?" He asked before he entered his wife.

"More than ready."

And with that he entered his wife for the first time in ten months. She let out another moan and he silenced her with with a passionate kiss. As always she pulled one of his dreads and he entered her instantly hitting her sensitive spot. She moaned shamelessly.

Lee soon rolled off his wife panting heavily.

"That was absolutely amazing."

"It was, it almost forgot what it felt like to be inside of you," Lee smirked.

As the day progressed the couple made love countless times.

"Happy Birthday," Adelaine said as they pulled from their last love making session that night.

"It's been the best birthday ever," Lee sighed spooning his wife.

Adelaine smirked and said. "You're just saying that because we've made love so many times today."

Lee smirked at her.

The next morning the couple woke up and snuggled for a bit then they got up. They got dressed, ate some breakfast and went to go pick up their kids.

"Daddy!" six-year-old Arianna yelled running to greet her dad.

"Hey sweetie."

They stayed a few minutes and flooded home.

September 2008

It was now September of 2008 and time for Tabitha to start Hogwarts. She was nervously chatting. Adelaine had brought Ari with her while Lee was watching Cedric and Ella. Gilderoy and Leslie had all girls. The second oldest being a year older than Ari and the youngest being the same age as Cedric. The train whistled and Tabitha said goodbye to her dad, mum, grandfather and godmother.

"When will I be able to go to Hogwarts?" Ari whined.

"Another four years, sweetie."

"That's not fast enough."

Adelaine shook her head. She was becoming more like Lee every day.

"Do you want to grab some lunch at the Leaky?" Leslie asked.

"That sounds delicious."

The group went to the Leaky Cauldron. The Leaky was quite full. They were seated.

"May I take your order?"

Adelaine looked up at the honey-blond woman she recognized as Hannah Abbott or rather Longbottom now. She had been married to Neville for just over a year.

"I didn't know you worked here," Adelaine said.

Hannah nodded, took their orders and walked away.

"She doesn't just work here, she's owns the Leaky."

Adelaine's eyes widened. The two childhood friends continued talking. Hannah brought the food and they ate. Adelaine got something for Lee because she knew she wouldn't hear the end of it if she didn't. She parted ways with Leslie and her family and flooed home.

Adelaine saw the cutest scene on the couch when they got home. Lee was fast asleep with their two youngest on his chest. He stirred slightly.

"Hello sleepy head." Adelaine smirked at her sleepy husband. He looked so cute.

"Hi love."

"How did they behave?"

"They were angels, especially because you took the most mischievous one." He said.

Adelaine nodded and said. "Let me put them to bed and you just finish taking your nap, okay?"

Lee nodded sleepily as Adelaine took their two youngest off his chest one by one and put them in their toddler bed and crib. She was slightly worried. Lee was rarely one to take naps.

"Hey love," he greeted.

Adelaine turned to her husband and said. "I brought you some food from the Leaky because you would never let me hear the end of it."

Lee glanced at the food and his stomach slightly churned.

"Everything okay?" she asked noticing the look on her husband's face.

Lee shook his head silently and whined. "I haven't been feeling well since you left."

Adelaine walked over to her husband and felt his forehead and he was burning up. Suddenly he fainted.

Lee woke up about an hour later to his daughter bouncing on the bed.

"Daddy!" she yelled.

Lee cringed at the loudness of his daughter's voice as his wife walked in.

"Hey love," Lee said through a cough.

Adelaine sat on their bed next to Lee and said. "You gave us quite a scare."

"What exactly happened?"

"You fainted on the kitchen floor a few minutes after I got home from seeing Tabby off to Hogwarts."

"Refresh me on who Tabby is again," Lee said.

Adelaine shook her head worriedly and said. "She's my goddaughter."

"Okay."

"What's my patronus?"

"A ring-tailed lemur which I have a tattoo of on my hip."

Adelaine nodded looking concerned for her husband. She was holding back tears.

"Love, there's no need to turn on the water works," Lee said gently, gesturing towards the spot next to him.

She instantly curled up next to him and rested her head on his chest.

"I'm okay it's just a slight concussion from work. I've had it for a few days and the cough just developed today."

"What did you do to get this concussion?" Adelaine asked.

Lee sighed and said. "I don't remember at all."

"Good, I don't have to yell at anyone yet," Adelaine giggled into his chest.

"Now that's the giggle I love to hear, even after all these years," Lee sighed, happily kissing her forehead.

"I have to go get the kids ready for bed and then I'll come take care of you."

Lee nodded. Adelaine left the room and went to go get her kids ready for bed. The two youngest were easy to get to bed but Ariana not so much. She eventually fell asleep though and Adelaine walked back to their room to find her husband asleep though a bit restless. She grabbed her nightgown, slipped into bed next to her husband and fell asleep.

The next morning she was expecting to wake up to Lee clinging to her like he usually did when he was sick but he wasn't. She got up to investigate and found him hunched over the toilet she rushed in to hold back his hair.

"Thanks love," he thanked her before he emptied his stomach again.

She rubbed his back to help him feel better.

"This has been going on since early this morning and I cast a silencing charm so nobody would hear me spewing my guts out," Lee answered his wife's unasked questions.

Adelaine nodded and asked. "Do you think we should send the kids away until you get better."

"My parents are on vacation."

"That's right, we can send Ari over Andromeda's I'm sure she would love to see Teddy," Adelaine smirked. It was very obvious that their eldest had a crush on the young metamorphagus.

Lee groaned. Adelaine took that as a yes. She decided to send Cedric over Leslie and Gilderoy's while she sent Ella over Alicia's.

"Merlin, I feel horrible," Lee whined flopping down on the bed.

Adelaine tucked her husband in and conjured a bucket just to have him empty his stomach again. She zapped away the vomit instantaneously and conjured another bucket.

"Stay with me, love," he whined.

Adelaine did as told knowing how clingy her husband gets when he's sick. She continued taking care of her husband.

A few days later Adelaine woke up in their normal position Lee's right hand cupping her bare breast and his other hand resting on her hip.

"You take great care of me," he mumbled sleepily into her hair.

"Of course I do."

Lee smiled and said. "I want to repay you but are you in the mood?"

Adelaine didn't respond she just gave him a passionate kiss. He understood quite well and rolled on top of his wife.

"You ready?"

Adelaine nodded as he entered her for the first time in maybe two months or so. She anxiously pulled one of his dreadlocks a few minutes later. They finished making love and got up. They made some breakfast, took a shower and made love again. After that they went to go pick up their children.

"Hey Aunt Andie," Lee greeted his godmother.

"Hello."

"How did Ari behave?"

"I'll say this Teddy is usually not a prankster but when he's around Ari that side of him came out."

Lee nodded. They flooed over to Leslie's.

"Did Cedric behave?"

"Yes."

Adelaine nodded and said. "Thanks for taking care of him at the last minute."

"Well, he is my godson isn't he."

"True, speaking of godchildren has Tabby written you yet?"

Leslie shook her head. After the short talk they flooed over to Alicia's
