the dragon's daughter

Chapter 87: baby?

Victoire POV

I set the plates down on the table, getting everything ready for dinner. 

The twins were in the living room with Teddy, you could hear the faint giggles and small voices.  

I walked in quietly to find them jumping off the couch into Teddy's arms simultaneously. 

I smiled knowing how precious these moments were. 

And how great Teddy is with kids. 

I giggled when Teddy flipped Remus upside down and spun around. 

It caught his attention and he looked over to me giving a boyish grin. 

I laughed, "dinner's ready." I smiled picking up Tresor. 

He carried Remus into the kitchen, still upside down. 

I set her down in her seat and Teddy did the same. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed me quickly, "thank you love." He smiled. 

"My pleasure." I smiled back and took a seat. 

We tucked in, talking about our days, the kids babbling every once in a while.

"And Remus painted another amazing piece." I said pointing to the fridge with his new painting.

"That's amazing buddy." He said excitedly. "Very Jackson Pollock." 

Remus babbled in response. 

He kissed his head and went back to his meal. 

"Anything new with the case?" I asked referring to the Jaxon Smith case. 

"Nope, they're becoming more agitated with it." He said sadly. 

"It'll get better," I said, taking his hand. 

"Hope so." He said giving me a small smile. 

I gave his hand a kiss and started clearing the table. 

He took the twins upstairs to play in their room, I finished the dishes and switched with him.  He went to do the laundry while I played with the twins. 

They babbled and laughed as they rolled the ball between each other.

I smiled, "alright it's time for a bath," I said picking them up. 

I ran the water and let them in giving them the same ball to play with. 

They continued their game while I was washing their hair and small bodies. 

"Come on, sweet girl." I picked up Tresor and wrapped her in a towel to dry her off. I changed her into a onesie and fresh diaper. 

I set her in her crib as Teddy walked in, "laundry's done." He smiled and leant down to Tresor's height. "Hi, pretty girl." He spoke to her in a a baby voice.

"Daddy" she clapped smiling widely at him. 

I walked back to the bathroom and dried off Remus with another towel. 

I changed him into his onesie and set him in his crib, "mama," he he said sleepily. 

I tucked him in and kissed his head. Teddy came over and did the same.

He went back over to Tresor and tucked her in, kissing her head. I grabbed her stuffie and handed it to her while kissing her cheek. 

We headed back to our room quietly. 

"Have a seat." I said pointing to the bed, 

He sat there no questions asked.

I pulled a box off my nightstand and handed it to him.
