My Wish

Twenty

Andy sat across from the twins. They were both sat on the couch and she was sitting in the coffee table, holding the edge with her hands to stop them from shaking.

"Mum, is everything alright?" Leo asked. Andy nodded. "Yes, I just, would you guys like to meet your dad?" Andy asked. Leo nodded frantically from his seat. "YES! Please, mummy, please!" Lyra asked.

Andy looked over at the door. "Alright, he's behind that door," Andy whispered. Leo and Lyra jumped off the couch and sprinted towards the door. Leo threw it open and his brows furrowed.

"Mr. Weasel, did you see my daddy out here?" Leo asked. Ron chuckled as he bent down in front of the twins. Lyra's forehead creased as Ron placed his hand on Leo's arm and grabbed Lyra's hand.

Leo's eyes widened as Ron smiled as him and he threw his arms around Ron's neck. "Leo, we have to find..." Lyra trailed off when she realized why Leo was hugging Ron. Lyra was quick to join in the hug.

Ron looked up at Andy, tears in his eyes. Andy smiled as he squeezed his eyes shut, pulling the twins closer into him.

Lyra pulled away and turned to face Leo. "Do you know what this means?" Lyra asked. Leo nodded. "We have the best dad ever!" Leo shouted, not pulling away from Ron. Ron chuckled as he ran his hand over Leo's back.

That day had been...not normal but not weird to say the least. The twins had used every and any opportunity to call Ron dad. Andy had found it adorable and she was sure that Ron was loving it because it looked like he was on the verge of tears every time they called him dad. Andy found that cute as well.

Andy was sitting on the couch, reading when Leo ran into the living room. "Mumma," He asked, tilting his head when he placed his hands on Andy's knees. Andy looked up at him and smiled. "Yes, mon amour?" Andy asked. Leo clasped his hands together, showing puppy dog eyes.

"Can we go to the zoo today?" Leo asked. "We haven't gone in a whole three weeks," Leo told her. Andy's eyes widened. "Oh it's the end of the world," She joked. Leo furrowed his brows. "Mumma, it's not funny. I miss George," Leo whined.

Ron looked up from the grilled cheeses he was making. "I can take him," Ron offered. Andy looked up at him, shaking her head. "You don't have-,"

"Oh please, mumma! Please!" Leo pleaded. Andy sighed and nodded. "Alright, I suppose that's alright," She whispered. Leo's face lit up. "I'm gonna go get dressed!" He shouted.

Ron chuckled as Leo ran down the hall. He turned to face Andy. "I suppose I should take Lyra, so she doesn't feel left out," He said. Andy looked up at Ron. "You can see if she wants to go," She told him. Ron raised his brow. "But?" He asked. Andy chuckled. "But, Lyra goes to the zoo whenever Leo goes. I think you should take her to the conservatory tomorrow, if you want to spend one-on-one time with them," Andy explained.

Ron nodded as he looked towards the hallway. Lyra came running out seconds later. "I don't want to go but I want to go to the stars tomorrow," Lyra said, paddling over to the couch. Andy looked up at Ron. "I told you," She said. Ron chuckled. "Yeah, you did,"

Lyra climbed up onto the couch as Ron sighed. "So uh, when do you think they'll be able to meet my family?" Ron asked. Andy looked up at Ron.

"That's up to you," She told him. "Whenever you're ready, really," She said. Ron smiled and nodded. "Yeah, okay," Ron paused for a moment. "Do you mind coming with?" He asked. Andy's stopped reading immediately.

She placed her book on her lap and turned to face Ron. "Please, mum!" Lyra said. "You can meet Daddy's family too and we can all be together and-,"

"Lyra, this is for your mum to decide, okay? You can't try and pressure her into it," Ron told her. Wouldn't make a good dad my ass. Andy felt a lump form in her throat.
