Hey everyone!

Happy September! You've made it to level 9 of Jumanji! It is also my birthday month... it's after the mid-month updates so hold off on those wishes. I will confess that work has been so full on but hopefully now it's calming down and I should be able to get back to writing. I really miss it. I guess I just got so used to being able to write when I wanted... now it's getting back into a routine with work and wverything. Thanks for the continued support. It means so much to me. Enjoy this next update!

Lots of love,

Finally Belonging Somewhere-Part 77:

"No that does not belong there!" Narcissa said once more as she looked around and sighed, "put it outside the Secret Garden and Lucius and I will sort it later," she said before watching the unicorn carousel being carried to the Secret Garden. She felt arms around her and sighed softly as she looked to see Lucius' head on her shoulder, "hello you," he said softly before she felt him kiss her neck softly.

"Teething troubles?" Lucius asked as he tightened his grip on his wife's waist, "you'll figure it out. That's why I stayed out of it all," he said.

"No… you stayed out of it because you don't like me shouting at you," Narcissa smirked as she looked at Lucius before squealing as he picked her up, flinging her over his shoulders and then carried her over to the stable area where she could sit and watch everything that was going on before she tucked a leg underneath her.

"I just want everything to be perfect for her birthday. The idea of the different areas is so she doesn't get overwhelmed but everything has to be in it's proper place," Narcissa said as she rested her head on Lucius' shoulder and sighed softly.

"Everything will be perfect and I have warned Draco not to expect this for his birthday as well and he understands. He's happy for a quiet day with everyone and would rather Aurora have the party she's never had," Lucius said as he ran a hand gently through her hair.

"I should have checked with him first…" Narcissa said, "I never thought how he would feel about it all," she said.

"He's fine. I spoke to him about it and Harold and Helena will be coming as well. She needs to meet them at some point," Lucius said, "but there's something that I realised… Everyone has decided on gifts for her but we haven't got her anything she can open and I know we're doing this party for her but she needs something…"

"Well one of the females will be giving birth soon to a foal," Narcissa said, "I'm surprised you didn't know," she added as she looked at Lucius, smirking as she saw the shock on his face, "they've been in your family longer than we've been married."

"The foals were always my mother's area and then yours as well. I've never really paid attention to it," Lucius said, "but what is your idea?"

"What if we allow her to have the foal and raise it as her own? We could get her books which can help her learn. I think it would teach her skills that could help her in the future," Narcissa said, "she would also be able to name the foal herself and that would be her foal and later pony once it's fully grown. It would be hers forever as well then," she said.

"It would have to be something done with support. I don't think she's ready to be able to do it by herself yet," Lucius said, "but I'd be willing to help her and you with it."

"It would be lovely for her I think and something that she would be able to take a lot from," Narcissa said as she nodded her head against her husband's shoulder, "look at it this way. It's something the two of us can do with our daughter and maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about your own family's ponies," she said and smirked before gasping as Lucius tickled her.

"Cheeky!" Lucius said, "but I can see your point and why you said what you did. It should be fun but educational for her."

"That I will agree with. She would certainly learn skills that she lacks and we'd be able to help her," Narcissa said, "I think it'll shock her but the foal won't be born for another month so we have time to help her understand what to do. The only thing I really want to ask is if she should be at the birth if she can?"

"No. I think it would scare her rather," Lucius said, "it could be messy or something happen to the foal and I don't think that she should see any of that," he said, "she should see the foal when it clean and walking and fine."

"That I can agree with now you mention it," Narcissa said as she snuggled into Lucius and watched Aurora's party areas taking shape.

The Wednesday before her party and Aurora was called to Dumbledore's office after school and Professor Sprout walked her up into the Headmaster's office.

"Hello Aurora. I'm from Twilfitt and Tattings and your mother has asked me to come and measure you for your special birthday dress," the witch said, "may I be allowed to do that? The Professors will stay here the whole time."

"Yes," Aurora said and nodded softly and she put her bag down and took her robe off so she was just in her uniform.

"Now what kind of dress would you like?" the witch asked.

"Pink and gold and sparkles," Aurora said, "and a tiara," she said as an afterthought, "but that isn't for you to do," she said as she felt her arms being measured.

"Well it's not my area but I can see someone who can do that," the witch smiled softly as she looked at her, "your parents want you to have the best."

Dumbledore got them a drink and the witch sat down with Aurora.

"Now how do you want your dress to be?" she asked.

"Lace sleeves and pink that sparkles and gold sash bow thing around my middle," Aurora said as she showed her what she meant before looking more, "I want butterflies in my tiara," she said, "but silver buckle shoes," she said. The witch wrote it all down and nodded before smiling and saying she would see what she could do.

The Friday evening arrived and Narcissa arrived at the Castle to get her children, Charlotte, Astoria and Daphne back to the Manor and had to keep them in the front of the Manor so nobody would see what she'd managed to do for Aurora's birthday.

The mother sat on her daughter's bed and she smiled stroking her hair.

"When you wake up tomorrow it will be you're birthday. So sleep now my little love and you will wake up to the perfect day," Narcissa said as she kissed her daughter's head and watched as she fell asleep.

Narcissa smiled and left the room quietly and went instantly to check over the birthday things, determined to give her daughter the birthday she deserved. Yes Narcissa was happy and ready for the big day and was so grateful to give Aurora a birthday that she should have had years ago. She fell asleep with a smile on her face, ready for the delights of what the next day would hold for her little girl, hopefully something that she'd remember for years to come.
