⚠️ ABUSE AND MINOR TORTURE IN THIS CHAPTER⚠️ (it's the memory if you want to skip it)
There's a lot of Hungarian and German so translations will be at the end

Gellert and Albus arrive back at the castle the next afternoon, greeting the few that were out in the courtyard doing this and that. As they go in they hear a small child scream "NO, PICKETT!" Albus starts running to where the scream originated which was their personal dining room, where Theseus was having breakfast and Newt was supposed to be playing on the floor but instead was trying to climb one of the nannies who was holding up the small bowtruckle "no young master, where did you even get this?"

Albus comes in and picks up Newt, taking the Bowtruckle back "Gellert gave them to him, now may I have Pickett back" he takes the bowtruckle back and gives him back to Newt "shh it's ok Newt." Albus sits at the table and kisses his head, Looking up as Gellert gets in the room. 

What happened, why was Newt screaming?" He kneels down to check over the baby.

"Adette took Pickett from Newt" he rubs Newts back "and apparently his name is Pickett now" Albus smiles as Newt was more occupied with the little creature crawling all over him. He then looks back to Gellert who was glaring at Adette and the young man stands up.

Gellert goes over to her, "I believe your job is to look after my sons, not taking things away from them or parent them. That is Albus and I's job, your job was to make sure my children are safe, fed, clean, educated and happy. Bowtruckles are not dangerous in the slightest so you had no reason to take them away from my baby. Not to mention you just stole our sons' first words from us, that's unforgivable. Now if you please, leave this room and I don't want to see you around my children again." He spoke calmly and clearly in German, making many of the people in the room hold their breaths. Many had forgotten that their two leaders were actually very powerful and very dangerous if they were angered enough. Gellerts rage was cold and calculated, while Albus' was hot and led by his emotions.

Albus gets up and gently puts his hand on Gellerts arm after the girl nods and quickly leaves the room, "You're scaring everyone, especially the boys. Let's go upstairs and calm down." Albus takes his hand and brings him upstairs, Theseus following after them. Albus sits on the couch and lets Gellert pull him close, looking at Newt. Newt was calming down and letting Pickett hide in his clothes, the boy himself was curling close to Albus.

Albus feels Gellert move his hand to pull Theseus close also and leans back against him, "Everyone is ok Gel, The boys are fine" he says softly to calm Gellert down. Gellert pulled them closer and suddenly a blanket was wrapped tightly around them. Albus smiles a bit and watches the blond squint his eyes in different ways to make theseus laugh.

After a while Gellerts grip on them loosened meaning he had calmed down, "the boys are asleep" Gellert whispers and fixes the blanket around said boys. He checks on Newt and lets Pickett climb onto his arm then back onto Newt. "they're already very close and they've only been together a few days" Gellert kisses Albus' cheek, "reminds me of us."

Albus smiles, and moves a bit to get in a more comfortable position "we really did rush didn't we, not that it wasn't the best decision I've ever made." he turns to Kiss Gellert and lays his head on his shoulder "we should put them in bed." Albus moves to pick Theseus up, being careful not to wake Newt up as Gellert takes the baby and goes to Theseus' room to lay him down. He smiles as he lays him down and kisses his head.

Gellert goes to lay Newt in his cradle and tucks him in. He checks the curtains and closes them more so the light won't get in and gently shuts the door "Aludj nyugodtan a babám" he whispers and goes to their room. Gellert waits for Albus to come back and pulls him close, kissing him gently.
