Albus was sitting behind his desk in his office snogging his deputy headmistress.

"Get a room!" Armando Dippet shouts from his position on the wall.

The two lovers stopped immediately, and Minerva started to laugh.

"I love it when you laugh like this," Albus said while stroking Minerva's cheek.

A soft knock at the office door brought Minerva to jump off of Albus' lap and straighten her robes.

"Come in," Albus said

Poppy walked in with Ally in her arm and clinging onto her leg was a girl around three years old.

"Little missy here refuses to take a nap, even if she's tired," Poppy said as she put Ally down and took the other girl up.

Both Albus and Minerva walked across the office and Albus bend down to pick up his grumpy faced daughter. Minerva kissed her daughter on the head, then turned to face Poppy and the other little girl.

"Look at you, how you have grown since I last saw you. Hello Mia, you remember your godmother, right?" She said as she took the girl from Poppy to give her a big hug. Amalia smiled at the older witch and kissed Minerva's cheek.

"How could she possibly forget her favorite aunt," Poppy said while watching her daughter with her best friend.

As Ally saw her mother with another girl in her arms she started to cry and stretched her arms out to her mother.

"Since when has my little girl became so jealous?" Minerva asked with wide eyes.

"Since the day she was born... Since the very first time, you held her in your arms and became a mother." Albus smiled warmly at his lover.

"This is absolutely normal. Children at this age are very attached to their parents. In this phase, children are insecure and are anxious to be separated from their parents." Poppy explained.

Minerva watches her daughter shifts her pacifier into her mouth and started to calm down as her father rubbed her back.

"You are not going to lose me. Mummy is not going anywhere, darling." Minerva said in a soft tone while stroking Ally's head with one hand. The other one still carrying Mia.

"Aunt Minnie, is Ally your little princess like I am to my mom?" Mia asked

"Yes, she is, honey."

"Will you have more little princesses with uncle Albus?" Mia asked innocently.

Both Albus and Minerva were a bit stunned at the girl's question and Poppy was trying hard not to laugh at her daughter's curiosity.

"Well honey, I don't think we will," Minerva answered. She wasn't sure how to give her goddaughter a better explanation.

"You know, auntie Minerva and I are both very busy people. We have to take care of many other children in this school." Albus explained to Mia.

"Like my mom?"

"Yes, just like your mom."

Poppy took Mia from Minerva and was about to leave when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in," Albus said

To their surprise, Minerva's father Robert McGonagall came in. Minerva felt her heart raising as soon as she saw her father walked through the door. They haven't seen each other since Minerva's graduation. Her parents have separated when Minerva and her two brothers were still very young because her father was abusive towards their mother then. She and her siblings lived with their mother and never saw their father since. Upon Minerva's graduation, he came to tell her that he was going to get married again. That was the last time she ever heard from her father.

Poppy bid them goodbye and left with Mia. She was worried about her best friend not sure what is going to happen.

"Father, how did you know I was here?"

"The portrait at your door told me." He answered with his cold voice.

"Albus, this is my father Robert McGonagall. Father, this is Albus. He is the headmaster at this school." Minerva said nervously

"Nice to meet you, Sir." Albus held his hand to Robert.

With cold eyes, Robert shook the other man's hand.

Before either Minerva or Albus could say anything, Robert walked to open the office door to reveal a tall good-looking man.

Both Minerva and Albus looked at each other not sure what is going on here.

"Father who is this?"

"May I introduce you to Vincent Goldberg, who is now your fiancé."
