Chapter 12

November 19th

Atlas's POV

"Malfoy sibling huddle up!" Emerald shouts as we all stand in a circle Emerson bouncing at my feet.  "What do you need this time!" Lyra barges into Em's room aka our meeting spot for the moment.

"So I want to do another prankish thing...." Em mumbles.  I pick the whining child up holding him to my chest.  We all turn for the door not wanting to be involved. 

Before anyone of us can reach it she slams her door shut.  "I won't let you leave! You must listen!" She hisses, and we all give each other bored looks.  "Somebody is going to call our parents by their real name! To get reactions of course" she snickers all of us still unamused. 

"Could be fun I guess" I grumble bouncing the child in my arms.  Lyra just nods while Seren ignores the conversation her head resting in her hand.  "Great now who's doing it!" Em cheers getting a glare from all of us. 

"I will I will!" EJ shouts raising both his arms.  "Maybe later okay?" I ask and he nods going back to playing with my shirt.  "Not it!" Emerald shouts followed by the rest of the girls yelling "not it" as well.

"That's not fair!" I whine getting a pat on the back from Lyra.  "Good luck big brother" she giggles while they push me out of the room.  I hand EJ to Em still glaring at her.

All of them following close behind as I walk down the hall. I wasn't happy but they seemed to be having the time of their lives giggling away.  Papa was on the couch reading.  I felt uneasy so I went into the dining room to do Dad first. 

All of the girls and little EJ peaked through the door as I walked in as casually as I could. Dad was eating his oatmeal attempting to get some work done. "Hey, my big prince" he calls not looking up.

I smiled at the nickname walking past him "hey Draco" I answer casually giving him a side-eye to watch his reaction.

I held in a laugh as he sat up quickly choking on his food.  Once he had finally coughed it out he turned around to give me a stare. I just went back to casually walking.

"Excuse me?" His voice rises.  I stop turning to him innocently.  "Say that again and I'm banning you from Asher for a month" he growls making my eyes go wide.   "Yup sorry bye Dad!" I shout speed walking away as my lovely siblings held back their laughter, while I pushed through them.

"I hate you" I mumble so Papa can't hear.  "One more" Seren whispers enjoying the torture I was getting.  I sigh knowing Papa was more and likely going to smack me across the head with his book.

I do it anyways jumping onto the couch next to him. "Oh jeez you scared me" he clutches his stomach before turning to me with a smile, dropping the book in his other hand to the side. "Anyways hello" he giggles making me smile.

I turn back so I'm facing forward "yeah sorry didn't mean to scare you Harry" I chuckle waiting to get hit. The girls go silent behind me as I wait and wait. Nothing happens so I turn to look at Papa my eyes widening in surprise.

"Why are you crying Papa!" I whisper pulling him into a hug as he silently cried. "I'm so sorry it was suppose to be a prank" I whisper hugging him tighter. He just continues to cry.

"I'm getting Dad!" Lyra whispers running back into the kitchen. "Papa... I'm sorry for intruding, but I believe you should tell 'us' now" Seren emphasizes the us.

Papa just nods before starting to cry harder. "I love you, Papa.... can we just blame Emerald or Dad?" I joke making him giggle again. Em lets out a stutter trying to insult me without using colorful words in front of him.

Dad soon comes running out of the dining room a clearly pissed-off look on his face. "What happened?" He growls running over and taking Papa out of my arms. "Are you okay love?" he whispers pulling Papa into his lap.

I get grossed out by their lovey-dovey little sesh and scoot away from them, all my siblings taking a seat on the other couches. "We should tell them" Papa burst out starting to cry again as Dad wipes his tears nodding.

"Go ahead" he mumbles kissing his cheek. I look away again deciding to just wait for them to get my attention. Looking over at Emerald her eyes were wide staring at our parents with a look of utter horror.

I kept in my laughs by biting my lips as she gaged on air. "Listen up kids!" Dad speaks up getting all our attention. I decide to turn back to them ready as Papa turns away from Dad to face us all. "I guess it shouldn't really be a surprise anymore..." he fiddles with his fingers.

Taking one deep breath he looks between all of us again. "I'm pregnant!" Papa shouts shoving his face into Dad's chest again his shoulders shaking as he cried. "Again!" I groan slapping my face as Seren chuckled "knew it"

"Wait really!?!" Lyra squealed while Em just stared at Papa with a strange look. "I say we name it Emerald...." she chuckles the look turning to one of mischief.

"No!" We all shout at her as she has suggested that literally every time. "It's okay Papa we will be here for you!" Lyra shouts running over to hug him. Poor Emerson was just confused.

Wow... another baby..... I love babies. Oh no..... I'm just like dad. I shudder before tuning back into the conversation. "How far are you Papa!" Em asks raising her eyebrows at him. "A little over three months" Dad answered for him while rubbing his shoulder.

"So how did you find out?" Seren questions them getting way too into this. "I-I was having usual pregnancy symptoms and when I started throwing up I finally told your father.... last week when we left it was to go get a test..." he sighs rubbing his eyes.

"You don't sound very happy" I jump into the conversation while Papa's face freezes. "No... I mean, of course, I'm happy... I just it's been a while and I know everything's going to be stressful and more chaotic... I love you all, but there's a lot of you" he rambles on his last statement-making us laugh.

"I swear I will be extra good!.... starting next week" Em jumps up making Papa laugh again. "Does everybody else know?" Seren asks getting a quick answer "only Uncle Blaise and the weasel" of course Dad answered.

"Gender?" Seren shoots them another question "not yet, we will go to check soon though" Dad sighs hugging papa from behind.   "Oooo you should have another girl!" Lyra shouts raising her arm over her head already excited for the baby. 

"Please no!!" I whine getting looks from everyone.  "I helped take care of all of you as little demon children and so far Emerson has been the only toddler that didn't want to beat the sh- crap out of me!" I try to cover up my swear before continuing "Yeah even you Seren and Lyra. I understand Em being violent, but you both were... little demons as well" I shiver remembering the traumatizing memories. 

"I'm not sorry" Seren sneers as Em shakes her head agreeing.  "I am" Lyra raises her hand quickly getting it pushed back down by Em.  "Think of all the times he was mean to you" she whispers loudly, purposely so I could hear her.

"He's never mean to me" she answers making me extremely happy.  I'm not a bad brother! I cheer on the inside.   "But he's a Slytherin!!" Em gasps, getting confused glances from the rest of us. 
   "You're a Slytherin too?" Lyra points out the obvious surprising Em.  "Dang it why did I get stuck with Dad's brains!" She scowls making Papa giggle again it didn't seem to bother Dad much.

It was the same way every time Papa was pregnant if anything made him giggle Dad would take it instead of fighting back. Our family always picked on each other it's how we've always been. Some people think it's tough, but when I'm calling Seren a twat... I'm doing it out of love.

I feel like I should have more of a reaction.. Papa is pregnant! Again.... that's so many kids. Wait how many is that... I quickly point to myself than the others counting including the one now inside of Papa.

"Okay, that's 6," I say out loud nobody seeming to hear. "I'm condused?" Emerson suddenly pops into the conversation sliding off of the couch. He runs for our parents climbing straight into Papa's lap. "Can tell me awain" he asks as I 'awe' at the adorable child.

Okay, maybe one more won't be that bad.
