25th August 2056

Today's not the 30 Legends reunion but the one of their children. The Descendants regroup to celebrate their friendship. Well, officially it's just to see the new-born of the two actors. And he's beautiful.
"He's so cute", Nina coos.
"Ow, come on, he's not the only new born", Aloki pouts coddling her baby boy.
"Yeah, but he's the quieter", Emelie says while carrying her daughter Aria Goldstein.
Even if she's now a Goldstein, she wants that her two kids Athena and Sylvester keep the Stewart name.
"And the prettier", Paige adds.
"Aw, you're all so nice", Melody chuckles "but I think that Metis babies are the prettiest."
Aloki smiles proudly at her Declan McLaggen.
"Less than gingers babies", Aden states kissing his wife at the tempe.
Marion looks cheerfully at her Sydney Macmillan then feeds her elder Skye, both redhead.
"Hey, what does that mean? My baby got white hair and you think she's less beautiful?" King snaps.
"Why are you competing for the prettier baby? Couldn't you just enjoy yours and spoil them?" Loan sighs.

They are all reunite with the next generation. And they decide to stay casual for the muggle.
Aden (31) and Melody (25) with their baby Ciel (one year and four months). Cael (31) and Loan (30) accompanied of Castiel (14). Lev and Eileen (29) with their twin Emmett and Steven (six and eight months) and their last and only daughter Juline (two and three months). Brenda and Susanna (28) with the latter's young sister Lina (24), still mysterious about their relationship. Shannon (28) and Will (29) with their three beauties: Camille (six in less than three days), Ryan (two and six months), Victoria (one and one month). Nina (27) and the French actor Francis Ducat (29). Celestine (27) and her French husband. Payton (27) and her American mate Liam (). Elena (26) and her partner -just for the money- Chase (22) just to taunt her brother. Emelie (26) is with her newlywed husband Reed (25) and their children Aria, Athena, Simon and Sylvester (all six and one month). Paige's (26) alone, as is Raj (25), yet. Lydia's (25) here with her wife Wren (28) and their two babies Emrick (two and) and Christelle (one). Scott and Marion (24) carry their two kids almost at same age than the latter : Skye (two) and Sydney (one). Philip (23) comes with his long time (one year and half) relationship Nolwenn (). Aloki (23) comes with her husband Arthur (30), although it's make Emelie uncomfortable, and their boy Declan (one). Leo and Iris (22) are single, unsurprisingly, the first because of his curse and the second because she likes too much her freedom. Paul (22) doesn't bring his girlfriend, because it's new and he doesn't want to scare her by introducing his...relatives even if she would like because there are plenty celebrities. Soeren (21) is single but he isn't here yet. Selena (21) began a relationship with Cain (20) and they take thing very slow that no one doubt anything until they hear their conversation. Kristine and Earl (20) start thing three years ago before they end Hogwarts but they still are bashful with each other. King (20) is knocked with Ashley (19) and their child Dylan (a girl, one). And Perry (19) brings a friend, who actually is part of the group of relative, Corey (19) Jenson.

"Corey, you make that!" Aden beams.
"Of course, I won't miss a chance to see my cutie nephew! May I?" He asks permission to the actors parents.
Melody smiles sweetly at her brother-in-law before letting him coddle Ciel.
"Oh, he's so adorable," the young athletic coos.
"Yeah, unlike you," a voice speaks up behind him.
And everyone turn to see another Jenson, Colton (21), accompanied of Soeren. The two bonded when they share a dorm room at Yale College.
"Yeah, well, it's because you hadn't any memories when I was toddler," Corey replicates while still coddling his nephew.
"Oh, believe me, I have too much that's unbearable."
"You're just jealous to not be the littler."
"If you say so," Colton drawls rolling his eyes.
"Uncle!" The cutie nephew calls.
"Ow, I'm wounded, Ciel, you calls Col but not me?"
The toddler giggles lightly between his young uncle's arms and holds his arms up toward Colton. Who smiles.
"That's because he knows who's better."
"Sure. Keep telling you that," Corey huffs, putting his nephew in his brother's arms and strolls toward Castiel since the first kid doesn't want him anymore. The three half-brothers of the fake twins bond quite easily, certainly thanks to their common sibling.
"There are a lot of children here," he comments, watching curiously at all the toddlers in their parents arms.
"Yeah, well, when you set up with your half one you want to have a family." Lydia says.
"Oh, I don't judge, it's just a statement," Corey holds his hands up then he turns to Perry and whispers "are they all...?"
"Yes," the last Carmichael, changed to Perlman, answers the incomplete question.
Castiel looks suspiciously at them but doesn't say anything.
"Look like a kindergarten," Corey says again.
"I was babysitting them," Castiel admits. "Well. Just the elder, like the twin and quadruplet, because I was barely eleven at this moment."
"Really? And how did you make that?"
"The parents said I made it quite good."
"That's good. 'Cause at eleven, I still asked Eli to carry me."
"Although you already have the whole attention," Colton mutters.
"Stop with your envy behavior, do you know that's one of the seven deadly sins?"
"I'm atheist."
"Shame on you," Corey drawls. Again.
"Why's that? You're Christian?" Leo asks.
"Sure, I am. I have faith."
"There isn't better faith to believe in yourself. And the science," Colton states.
"Ow, come on, you almost convinced me if you didn't add the last part," Iris chuckles.
"It's the truth," the science student nearly pouts.
"I think you could get along with Leo, don't you think?" Soeren smiles to the werewolf.
The Malefoy doesn't say anything but his expression let think that he's pleased with this idea.
While the majority of the descendants bond with the Jenson brothers, some of them is out to take a breathe.
Like Raj, Scott, Philip and Paul. And they have a really agreeable surprise.
A thin girl with red hair aboards them. She's wearing a dress of summers collection, she has sunglasses on her cute nose and her pale skin is framed by long ginger hairs. And she's looking to them.
"Excuse-me? Could you help me find this address please?" She says with a soft voice and showing a paper with their address.
"Yeah, sure. It's just...right there," Scott answers, clearly charmed.
"Oh? Great!" She smiles and heads her way inside.
No one stops her.
"Well, she's a surprise," Raj admits.
"I know right," Paul mumbles without cutting contact.
Then, they hear an "Eli" before a coo and decide it's time to introduce themselves correctly.
When they come in, the actress is coddling her nephew, replacing her brother (the muggle one, not the dad).
"Aw, he's more beautiful from day to day," the young woman (26) sighs kissing the pretty boy.
"Would you mind introducing yourself?"
"Sure, I'm Elizabeth Jenson, Eli's, Ethan's, Colton's and Corey's sister. And I just notice that makes me the only girl, weird."
Although the last comment, the fact that she totally integrates the twin as her brothers makes them smile, while the others look at the two others brothers to see how they react. None of them is surprise, Colton is talking with Leo and Corey with Castiel, like it's normal.
"I feel you, it's very hard to be the one other gender in a pack of siblings," Soeren nods.
"Well, I don't know if we could comparate our situation. You're the last and I'm the elder after Eli and Ethan," Elizabeth smiles knowingly.
"It's difficult to be the big sister," Eileen approves "the little brothers are the worst." Thankfully, her twin are the bigs brothers.
The Jenson brothers and Reed complain while Lizzy laughs, she turns to Eileen to grin sweetly at her. "Eileen?"
"The one and only."
"Glad to meet you, I like your books."
Eileen smiles genuinely.
When Liz releases the baby in her arms and goes to know the others, she's almost attacked verbally by Elena, because this bitch witch won't let pretty girls be around her.
"Are you just playing young student or little woman trap in child body? Because you sure have baby face."
But the muggle doesn't fall back. Like Melody, she's witty and has repartee.
"And are you a porn star or just a figure who just has to wiggle your hips to attract people's eyes? Because you sure are too vulgar. Careful to not burn children's eyes."
There is a dumbfounded whistle that quickly shuts down and Elena quirks a brow, coldly.
"She's awesome," Emelie states impishly.
"I think you are," Liz says back. "To succeed carrying four children isn't nothing."
"Well, at least, I don't have to care about having another now I have them four."
"Sure, if you think it's good for you."
"I'm just asking, but do you guys all know each other, since you're actors?" Paul nods to Chase. Because he could talk about Francis, but he's muggle and French, so yeah, forgot him.
The latter seems to hear his name among the innuendo and looks at them at the same time Elizabeth turns to him. The red hair actress smiles at him then looks back at Paul who asks her.
"Yeah, we actually know each other."
"Really?" Elena scoffs.
"We play together on the new movie, didn't see that coming, right?" Liz smiles brightly at the model.
Who narrows her eyes before ignoring them. Mostly Emelie's laugh.
And Iris comes to Chase and asks him why doesn't she know that.
Basically, this reunion really is a successful event to know everyone. When it's time to come home, the majority of them is already gone and to avoid his sibling to spent a night in a hostel, Aden-Eli propose them to lodge them. Since Ethan-Cal live with Loan, there are two free rooms at the Finnogan's place. The Westy-Brooks will sleep in Eli's former room, Elizabeth in Cal's and Corey and Colton will sleep with Castiel.
"Don't worry, we don't snore," Corey assures "well, I think," he adds after reflexion.
"You don't," Colton says "you're a very quiet sleeper. It's quite scaring actually, you look like a dead body."
"Geez, thank you! I'm so touched! As if you're not scaring with your lens! It's awful the way you wear and bear these."
"Your retort is so lame."
"Shut up."
Philip, who is just next to them, looks little envious by their brotherly-friendly argument. "I always dreamed to chat with you like that," he adds to his little brother.
"Ew," is the answer. Well, Perry still is sour with Phil to be their dad favorite child.
Corey chuckles "Ow, come on, Ry, don't be like that with your bro, we only have one family."
Neither of the wizard (those who still are here) say anything. Because, actually he has two families.
"Listen to your friend, don't shut me down, I'm your only brother," Philip says anyway.
Perry snorts then talks to Corey like the elder doesn't say anything. "None of your business, Jenson."
"Aw, come on! Don't snap me! We already said that we aren't calling each other by last name, no letting third party ruins our relationship, rule three of the Bro-code!" The muggle recalls his friend patting his chest.
"Right..." Perry drawls rolling discreetly his eyes.
"Aw, you actually have bro-code? Like in the movie and the frat party?" Marion squeaks.
"Hmm, don't mix everything. Perry and me are bro like best friends and you're talking about brotherhood that bond during college, which I actually am but not Ry."
"And let me guess, your fraternity is about some sport?" Emelie guesses.
"Yeah, and we have some preference for dancing."
"How surprising," Colton yawns "uh, time to go home."
"He could do everything, I swear this guy could be a stuntman," Perry sighs.
"Yeah, but I want to be dancer."
"You could dance if you tempt to be actor too," Soeren says.
Corey shrugs with a pout, not convinced.
"Or you could be stripteaser," Iris jokes, finding that funny.
"Haha, I'm not that desperate", Corey laughs back.
Iris doesn't say anything, she just leans to kiss the Jenson brothers on the cheeks for goodbye before going. At this time, someone use the floo powder and the wall flash in green light.
"Wha-" Colton stammers.
But before he could proceed some thoughts, he sees some wings deployment outside. He turns to his brother who looks back with a poker face and Perry who doesn't looks at him. Soeren is outside to shout about magic secrecy.
Colton leads his brother into private space.

"What just happen?" Colton whispers like he couldn't believe.
And he couldn't.
"What?" Corey says back.
"You saw those green fire, too, didn't you? And those wings above the ...violet horse, right?"
"Well, you're really tired."
The big brother looks thoughtfully at the younger. "You knew." Corey remains silent. "So when I saw Leo's eyes flash in gold it isn't just the sunlight, which is actually nonsense..."
"Oh, he could do that too? I thought Eli's..." Corey stops himself in mid-sentence, looking at fault.
"Wait, Eli is... like them?" His sibling doesn't respond. "But...I didn't see him doing anything like that. And what are they? Corey?"
Silence.
"We are wizards," Perry admits.
The brothers turn to him, confused and surprised. Then, Eli appears in the corridor doorframe with Cal and Loan. They were chatting lightly but stop when they see the three cautious young men.
Eli frowns. "Everything's okay?"
Colton opens his mouth but nothing comes out. Soren comes back at this moment and stops any move and almost hold back his breathe feeling the tension. They stay silence.
"Col?" Corey calls softly.
The med student looks at his brother, the only familiar figure right now.
"Are...our brothers and their friends really wizards?" He eventually chokes out.
They gasp, probably from the twins, but then Colton is sitting on the seat facing the said wizards. Loan is tending him a glass of...some transparent liquid that he isn't sure what it is.
"And what's that?"
"A glass of water," Loan answers without falls.
"Water?" Colton repeats with American accent.
"Come on, Col," Corey is fidgeting beside him "why are you so squeamish? They aren't bad, did they do anything awful since we know them?"
"I'm actually not sure that everything is real. Are you all who you pretend? Are you really Corey? Maybe I'm drugged and I'm just gonna continue the dope with the...water."
"Geez, you're so narrow-mind. Open your mind, magic exists and that's why I have faith!"
Colton just looks unbelievingly at his brother.
"Fine! You don't believe I'm your brother? I'll prove you! Remember this time when you're just eight and all you want for your birthday is a pack of paint because you thought that you could have a rainbow on your sheet?"
"Okay, I believe you, you really are my bratty brother."
"Ow, that's cute," Perry coos.
Colton blushes but seems really uncomfortable and Soren stands up.
"We have to go. See you tomorrow, Colton?"
The muggle looks dumbly at his room-mate without answering. Soren understands, it's not easy the first time.
"See you, guys!" Corey says for the two best friends who go away.
The living-room becomes silent again. Colton couldn't look at his two half-brothers and the brother-in-law, all he can think is that his actual brother knows.
"How did you know?" He mutters. He doesn't know what's wrong but he couldn't voice loudly.
"Well, just before mom buy you the paint, I fled away because it's too boring and I met Eli! And he flashes his eyes to entertain me!"
"For real, Den?" Cal sneezes.
"Hey, I was lost in the big city and a baby boy sat next to me, alone! I just wanted to make him comfortable before bringing him to his family back! And it was eternity, I thought you forgot!"
"Never," Corey assures, smiling "Sixteen years later or even sixty years I would never forgot that, 'cause it's what make us in the same way."
Aden couldn't help but smiles. Although it's quickly fade by Colton harmless' comment.
"I would like to forget the whole thing."
It's not his fault if he couldn't bear unnatural thing. Some people just couldn't live with. But it stings anyway, because their mother did live without, the proof being with those two Jenson.
"Alright! It's time to go home! Den, come with me checking if the girls have finished, we should also inform Cas," Cal states with too much joy.
"Hmm... Eliza-" Colton starts.
"She's changing her nephew's diaper with your sister-in-law, don't worry about her being hurt," Loan cuts him.
"I- I'm not-," Col sputters.
"And maybe you should keep your word, because it's more wounding than anything else," Loan states coldly.
Because, he just hurt his husband even if it's an understanding situation. Colton looks at Corey to know more but the other shrugs, doesn't knowing either.
"Maybe we could tell Liz," he instead says.
Colton stiffens. "No. Definitely no."
"Why not?"
"Liz, she... Look, you know our sis, right? She's somehow fanciful and if she discovers that our bro could do... Some stuff she will go mad."
Corey considers this. "Fair enough."
Colton sighs internally, actually he avoids the discovers because Liz will be in the same statement than him. Like very shocked to know their half-brothers are wizards. So, to summarize, he's the one who knows that they're blood-bound and they're...magic. And he regrets the latter because wow, it's insane. Like they could do so many things but he just hide behind act? And what about Melody? Does she know? And Ciel? Will he become one? Would he hide that to his family? Will he? And how comes that their mother doesn't know?
Colton jolts.
Hang on. Their mom doesn't know. She doesn't know her two elder are wizards neither she has children before Elizabeth, she doesn't know because she doesn't remember.
She forgot. Probably due magic.
"Col? We have to go," Eli calls him.
He starts and looks quietly at the actor, the man who played the stranger during sixteen years around his mother because the latter doesn't know him, who acts nonchalantly his whole life to hide his pain in front of his relatives and now he has to repulse his feeling because one of his brother was low-brow.
"Okay... Where?" He asks walking to the exit.
"Norther Ireland. I borrow Cal's car to drive us there."
Apparently, here is the Potter-Finnegan's house.
"Oh, I see." Colton states once stepping outside. Then he stops himself and let the others comes out while he walks back inside to face Cael.
"Ethan, a word?"
"Sure," the blonde nods and lead his brother to the antechamber.
They talk awhile, Aden uses this time to carry his baby buckling the safe-belt in his baby-seat then let his wife do the rest while Castiel and Corey sit on the passengers seat. When Colton's outside, Elizabeth is waiting for him to let him take the back seat before she sit on the last seat of the first back.
"Everything's okay?"
He doesn't answers immediately and only does when he's sat and meets Eli's eyes in the inner rear mirror. "Yeah, it's okay."
This night, after the Jenson greets Tobias and Thelma (with two suspicious gaze on Toby from Elizabeth and Colton), Corey asks quietly Castiel in the privacy of his room if he's wizard too and if he could show them some M-stuff, Col learns that there really is some difference between the two worlds. But then, he thinks about the fact that Castiel is his brother and wizard too and...well, he knew that there isn't secret between them. (Except some stuff like how to make baby)
He tells them he has to go to the restroom but lead his way to the kitchen and let himself some calm to think about what he witnessed.
Eli and Cal are his half-brothers, they're wizard and their mother doesn't remember them.
The wizard could use some creature to transport, metamorphose their face and wipe memories. Like their mother was victim.
And he hurts his brothers by saying wanting to forget all this.
"Colton? Why are you here? Sleepwalking?" Eli whispers warily.
The muggle looks at the ginger who approaches slowly at him, he tempts a small smile.
"No... I... was just thinking about some... Things."
"Oh, right. Don't fret yourself too much. You have to wake up early tomorrow and... Soren will accompany you."
"Yea, I know." Colton nods then he glares at the elder moves "and you?"
"Ciel is awake, I have to make his drink."
"I see."
He just looks at him working.
"Does she know?"
"What? And who?"
"Melody. Does she know?"
Aden returns to his work and after wiping dry the biberon, he says slowly. "No."
"...I'm sorry."
"What for?"
"I shouldn't have say that I want to forget, I didn't know that's already happened."
Aden's stunned, "Not your fault, like you said you couldn't guess."
"But it isn't your neither. I know I'm little hypocrite to say that now, but... I won't forget what I learn today. I- I wouldn't do the same mistake that she did. Because it's part of you and well, you can't really do something else if you have wizard siblings."
"Wait. You- you know?"
"...yea. I do. I know you're my brother. Liz too."
"What? How?"
"Remember when she has a crush for you?"
"Ow, that was embarrassing."
"Yea, indeed. You made clear that you consider her like a sister, which make sense now even if she said that if you want gingers dominating the world you two should...well, so not convinced she took one of your hair and we tested your DNA. It's matched."
"Who know?"
"Just Lizzy and me. But for the M-stuff just Corey and me. And yes, I know the two of your secret."
"And you're not...afraid?"
"Eli, I... Look, I'm sorry I hurt you earlier. I was distraught, since child I knew that only science is true but suddenly I discover it's not because...there's something else, and I'm still taken aback, but I won't reject you again. You're my brother, my family and it's part of you. So, yea, I'm not afraid."
Aden seems speechless. He swallows painly "But you're disturbed."
"Of course, come on, that's mean you live like a stranger around our mom since sixteen years ago!"
"Well, I couldn't do something else, right?"
Colton just huffs a laugh even if it seems awkward, but the smile promise that'll be okay.
