Dark Beauty /Sirius Black/ [2]

Dark Beauty - 30.

Chapter 30

"What a sight to wake up to."

Adria rolled her eyes as she turned to her husband lying on their bed. She had just dropped the towel from her shower and stood naked ready to get dressed when she heard his voice, "can it be a sight that you get up to because we have to meet Blair and Remus in an hour."

"Can't we cancel?" he groaned, "I have other things I want to do."

"No, Sirius," she shook her head, "we can't cancel. Blair sounded really excited to see us and I'm not cancelling on them - especially since their finally able to start living more than before. We get to see their new flat, too. Apparently, Remus and Isaac were in charge of decorating because of Blair's fight for her sister and they did a good job!"

"Sounds like a wonderful day we have planned," he grumbled, sitting up and watching her dress herself. It was mesmerizing, almost, to watch her - he watched her slide into the dress she had picked out just after her underwear and thinking of which shoes she could pair her dress with.

March wasn't the warmest month but it was getting warmer and so she had decided not to wear tights with her dress, she would find out if she regretted it when they stepped outside but she was apparating to Remus and Blairs anyway.

"They have news." Adria turned to see him still watching her, and she sighed with a smile...soon walking over to the bed and sitting beside him, "you are so cute when you're grumpy."

She leaned in to kiss him, a smirk on her lips when he attempted to deepen the kiss only to be interupted by their boy shouting from his room, "Addy!"

"You better be up by the time I get back," she warned, wagging a finger in the boy's face and exiting their room. She entered Jude and Mila's room, smiling at the boy who looked rather impatient, "she stole my toy!"

"Jude what have I told you?" Adria sighed. She clocked the toy now in Jude's hand tightly clutched and she was sure it'd be hard for him to let that go and picked up a crying Mila, "you have to share your toys now. Mila shares her toys with you, and you need to do the same. It's only fair."

"Yeah...yeah well!" he huffed, shaking his head, "I'm older!"

"Which makes you more responsible, but it looks like Mila is," Adria tutted, bouncing the girl in her arms, "I'm sure Jackson won't be pleased. He's Mila's friend too and he lets her share."

"But this is my favourite!" he whined.

She moved to sit down, wrapping her arms around Jude's waist and placing Mila in her lap, "what's wrong, baby? You haven't had a problem with sharing toys before?"

He frowned, "why is Lala here?"

"Because we have to look after her," she kissed the boy's cheek, "and you have to look after her too. She's younger, remember? And you have to help her and be the best friend you can be."

He reached out and pressed his hand to Mila's, pouting slightly until she took his hand, sniffled and stopped crying, "I know it's different with Lala here, baby, but you'll both get used to it and you'll have so much fun playing together!"

"Are you sure?" he whispered, frowning.

"Positive!" she pulled him onto her lap too, hugging them both tightly, "now can I go shout at Sirius for staying in bed or are you still keeping your toys from her?"

Jude giggled at that, as though it was the funniest thing in the world to think of Adria shouting at Sirius and shook his head, soon handing Mila the toy, "I have other toys to play with."
