I'm sorry~ 💀

May 1st

Asher's POV

I sat on the couch patiently most of my family outside already. Kiara was out meeting the family and I could tell she was terrified. I made sure to give her the biggest hug ever once I saw her. Of course, Ivy took her out of my clutches and led her to the backyard. Today is the big day for me and I'm so excited.

I was bouncing up and down with my excitement. Uncle Blaise was able to come and his daughters were overcome with joy. I'm not sure where my parents are. They had to show up some time soon? They would have told me if they couldn't make it. Maybe they ran to work for something... I haven't seen them all day though. Dad and papa were suppose to help me set up but I ended up doing it alone because I didn't want to bother anyone else.

"You okay?" Atlas asks placing a worried hand on my shoulder. "Yeah, why?" He looks me up and down. "You were just so excited and then all of a sudden you just kind of stop" he chuckled. I look back over to the door and nodded. "I'm okay" I reassure him.

"Person here!" Herb shouts. He was also waiting for us. Once the last few people got here he would go around the back to the picnic with us. I shot up from my seat and went to the door. Herb already opening it. I attempted to hide my disappointment. "Hi, Thomas" I smile giving him a little wave. There's a grunt from the couch and I'm soon joined by Atlas.

"Hi, Asher" he replies as I look towards the stairs. Maybe they were up... no don't get your hopes up Asher. "Well let's go out back" I cheer grabbing Herb's hand. A stronger hand grabbed my shoulder and I looked back to my boyfriend.

"Don't you want to wait for your parents?" He asked. "They- uh they can meet us out back when they get here" I try to hide the disappointment in my voice walking out back with Herb hand and hand. "I'm sure they will come young friend" Herb pats my hand as the large blanket made by our favorite Molly came into view.

I let go of Herb's hand and he ran over to Harry who had Gray crawling around his lap. Emerald and Iris were cuddled up as Ivy hugged Kiara from behind Kiara having a shy conversation with uncle Ron.

I sat down in the corner getting my hair ruffled by uncle Blaise as he walked over to his younger twins. Thomas sits next to me Atlas on my other side. "Emerson put your shirt back on!" Uncle Dray shouts over us as the boy giggles running and clutching onto Herb.

"Help me!" He yells bouncing and Herb takes a protective stance in front of the boy causing us all to laugh. With a sigh, Draco just throws the shirt at the elf. "Have fun" he chuckles before going back to his husband laying his head on his lap. Gray now crawling around the blanket excited to be outside with everyone.

Seren was having a chat with Uncle Blaise about his work that she always found so interesting as he was being used as a jungle gym, of course he didn't mind and smiled the whole time. Lyra had someone made her way to Kiara and was braiding her hair. Jax moved to sit by us and now Atlas and them were debating who was stronger I chuckled at their antics before taking one last look at everyone. The only thing missing was my parents.

"Thanks for coming" I look to Thomas and he nods looking at my family just as excited. "Anytime your family is really fun" he whispers moving a piece of hair out of my eyes. "Oh, thanks" I thank him, trying to readjust my hair. "Anytime" he mumbles before turning the other way to talk to Iris.

Without warning, I'm pulled into Atlas's lap. I look up at him worried, resting my back against his chest. "Hi?" I smile up at him. "I can keep you safer here" he mutters in response before going back to talking to Jax. "Oh, okay..." I sigh turning back to Thomas.
