August 2054 - 9th April 2055
Two weeks after their first time, they announce their statue to their family. The Westy and the Jenson.
The first are all brainiac and already guest something seeing their glowing face. They didn't say anything, because it's none of their business. Melody is a grow-up girl, she's 23 and can do everything she wants with her life, and her body. So well, there isn't any difficulty to invite them at their wedding party, you know for that everyone could know, officially.
And Aden retouches with Sam Westy, his wife's three years young brother and the actor portraying his young foster brother at BrotherS (and who has crush on his character, but it was just act).
The second are more amazed, as they didn't see that coming. And Aden could be wounded by the lack of expectation, come on he's pretty obvious with his feelings, but instead he laughs when they recover quickly and welcome Melody like a member of their family, like they did with him. And even if they're as witty as the Westy, they're more endearing with their closeness.
The complication comes only when he has to introduce her at the other side of his family.
"Why haven't I meet them yet?"
"They're British and with our schedule it's little complicate."
"Okay, granted. But you don't talk much about them."
"Are you kidding me? I feel like I just talk about my brothers to you."
"Yeah, and what about your father?"
"Oh, well, we haven't shared much things together. But he's not that bad, we're just...not close."
Then, he has also to forbid them to use magic. So, the day he introduces her to the Finnigan (first, because he couldn't bring the whole 30 Legends without prep and everything are just accelerated and out of his control), the witches are taken aback. Sure they guessed there is something between them, because all he said to his brother (and Eileen) isn't an act, but well, this level is just unexpected.
They are placed like every family. Like the father is on the edge of the table, with Thelma and Castiel at his side, then the couples Potter-Finnigan and Brooks just after.
"You guys seems to be over the moon, something to share? Like an engagement?" Thelma starts the conversation nonchalantly.
The hosts of the living room, in the Irish house, all glance at her, before at the couple. Whose exchange a cheerful look.
"Actually, we're married!" Aden states excitedly.
He takes his wife's hand and shows them their ring. And they are all stunned to not be aware of the evidence commit sign.
"That's... Great," Tobias stammers eventually. "Congratulations."
Thelma nods mechanically, but mostly dumbfound. "When is it?"
"Two weeks ago. We'll organize a wedding party the 24th, in the States, at our house in New Jersey, there will be some journalist because it will be noticed anyway, but...we will be glad if you came."
Everyone is looking at him and he becomes more and more nervous at their shocked look.
And Thelma should feel that too, because she cheers. "Sure, we would like!"
She looks expectantly at her husband waiting his agreement.
"Yes, of course," Tobias confirms after swallowing his food. "And it's during break, so Castiel can totally comes too."
This latter looks up when his name is called with wide eyes. No expecting to be invite.
"Of course, I chose this day exactly for this reason. Thus my brothers students can come." Aden turns to his little brother.
The twelve years old Ravenclaw smiles emotionally at his half-brother, glad to be loved. Aden smiles back, content that his family will comes. Well, it lacks just one last answer.
He looks in front of him, his blonde twin is eating like he doesn't stop since he talks about his wedding in the States. "Cal?"
"Hm?" Eventually, Cael stops eating, he bites one more time his food before swallowing and puts down his silverware, then he takes a sheet to wipe his mouth and finally talks. "Sure, we'll be here."
He turns to his husband to be sure and the Metis approves quietly.
Aden smiles, relieved that all is okay.
"But won't you invite the others?" Loan asks.
There again, the others stop eating (except Cael who looks briefly at his partner) and wait his response.
"I would like. But I don't think they could make this happen, especially for the trip. Which I'll pay your airplane place, obviously."
"Of course," Loan agrees "and thank you for that. But you gonna tell them because they want to know."
"Yeah, sure."
"Are we talking about the people with who you grew up?" Melody asks, smiling. She has the feeling to missing something, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal since her husband doesn't explain, but she doesn't want to be forgot so, we'll, she speaks up.
"Yes, they're like my... relatives."
"Maybe we could make a reunion to allow you guys meet. I mean, they could take a break to know you. It will be a honor," Tobias proposes suddenly.
And that surprises happily Aden. He grins and looks expectantly at the actress. Who smiles. "Sure, I would like."
"Good, I will send them a faire-part and inform you the date."
"Sweet."
The Finningan, well actually British who doesn't live in the States, smiles tightly. Because there is also some difference between American-English and British-English. And they aren't sure how to understand some thing.
Three days later, the Brooks are invited to the Goldstein, who proposed to be hosts to get place for the whole 30 legends who are interested to meet the actress. Which means pretty everyone. Plus the reason to be reunite again without the rule to meet up every decade.
(And since Clara isn't Quidditch player anymore)
Eileen opens the door.
"Oh, hello." The blonde witch greets them.
"Eileen! Why is it you who'se opening?" Aden asks before Melody could answer.
"Well, I'm glad to see too, Den." She answers sarcastically.
"It isn't what I mean-"
"What our favorite actor wants to say is why are you moving like housewife while you just give birth not two months ago?"
"Come on, you say that yourself, it's been two months, I'm fine."
"Oh, so you're pregnant?" Melody states excitedly.
"Yes, it's my second birth after the twins. And like your husband said, I'm Eileen and this is my husband and the father of my children, Lev."
"Nice to meet you two."
"Eileen's my bestie. I'm sure you two will get along," Aden comments, joyful.
"But you may want to come in and meet the others," Lev invites them.
"Sure."
They enters in the house, oddly bigger than the outside lets see, and they're stop in midway by two boys aged five.
"Godfather! Godfather!" They jump around the couple like excited puppy then hook to the man's legs.
"Hey, how are doing my two little pancakes?"
Because every time he sees them, they craves (vegan) pancakes he did to them.
"Fine! Is it your lover?" Emmett asks him looking at Melody with awe. Because they are taught to not pointe people, especially when they in front of.
"Yeah, she is," Aden answers quietly.
Melody smiles fondly, she already knows how to deal with toddlers.
"She's pretty," Steven adds.
She widens her grin and looks down at the kid who smiles back shyly.
"Indeed, and she's the woman of my life."
She doesn't say anything back but the observer could notice her gleaming eyes and the softness of her smile.
"Okay, kids, don't you want to greet and introduce yourself to the pretty woman?" Eileen chides them.
The boys cover their mouth, taken aback then they release their godfather and introduce themselves to the new person.
"Hello, my name is Emmett-"
"Mine is Steven-"
"We're the Lingtrens twin and Godfather's pancakes-"
"Nice to meet you!"
They bow In front of the actress, who chuckles lightly.
"The pleasure is mine. And my name is Melody."
The rest of the introduction remains the same, even if Aden asks that they reunite in the same place that so she introduces herself just in once.
Later in the day, while the two of them are in the kitchen to cook some pancakes for the toddlers, the 30 Legends and their children talk about them.
"Well, I thought he will eventually end with his ex," Shannon comments lightly.
"You're not the only one. And they were in touch through the last months," Eileen sighs.
"Really? Even when he learns that Aden's in love with this woman?" Will asks doubtfully.
"Well, he better no. I don't know what he can do for the love's sake but I don't think that keeping in touch with your first love is a good idea whereas this latter totally and utterly moved on," Loan mutters.
"Actually, I'm not sure he moved on," Cael expresses his feelings.
"Well, he should," Adrian mumbles in his barb.
His soulmate looks at him with a raise brow.
"It took me time to realize with all this young pregnant women but there is another one heartbeat, like out of all I already noted."
Clyde makes a sound looks like whistle but Claire voices a question.
"Why don't they tell us?"
"Well, unlike you who ignores to be pregnant for six weeks, she's just two weeks."
"Oh, during their honeymoon," Lolie hums.
"Oh by Hecate, I really don't want to hear that," Tobias mumbles.
"It isn't the worst," Chloe snorts "we are just talking, what if you actually see that?"
She nods toward the kitchen door, opened, and the first generation stare at the couple in front of the sink talking sweetly at each other then the redhead tilts to kiss her square on the mouth, lovely.
"Aww," Celia makes a noise.
"I feel you, they're disgustingly in love," Scorpius retorts.
"How could you find love disgusting?" Albus snaps.
"Plus they make a beautiful couple," Harley says.
Elena, who listened the whole conversation, scoffs. "Like she could be prettier than me."
"Sure she is," Paige replicates "her prettiness is like ethereal whilst you're just gross."
Every gaze lay on her.
"Woah, someone has a crush," Emelie chants.
"It's not because I can acknowledge gorgeous person means I actually have feeling for them. I could just have eyes."
"This comment reminds me someone," Ani smirks at Lolie.
The Frenchwoman raises her eyebrows but smiles slyly.
"Ironically, she's blonde too," Claire says looking at Wyatt. Who grins at her.
"Hey, come on, we blondes are the bests," Clara states.
That seems to close the conversation even if everyone aren't all agreeing. But what they agree is that the guy before the kitchen's door has nothing to do here.
"Hey, did you actually make the pancakes or you're just made out?" Jeff Link cockblocks them.
Aden slowly breaks away but still smiling like he could feel her lips on his.
"It's just cooling. Be patient, kid."
"Talking about kid. Why am I not invited at your wedding?"
"Honestly? I don't want you be a trickster and scared my others guests."
"Ow, you wound me, like I could do that to you. I'm your fan number one."
The worst is they couldn't actually say if it's a liar.
"Maybe, but if we starts to invite all our fan, the wedding will be pack before we can blink. And even if it's a happy event, it's more for relative than stranger, don't you think?" Melody smiles sweetly at him.
Jeffrey stares at her for awhile without saying anything, then he smiles falsely and that just make the 30 Legends' day.
"I like this girl," one of them even says.
Aden just smiles adorably at her, proud and adoring.
"Wow, she's such a witty one, different than your last conquest. What's his name? Julian? How he's doing?" Jeffrey eventually speaks up.
"This jackass just want to mess things," Clara mutters.
"As if you could be surprise," Alice scrolls.
"Perhaps no, but Aden's hurt, now."
They may or may not be ready to stand up for the ginger but it's useless, the wifey could handle that.
"He's fine. But if you're really curious, we could make you guys in contact. I'm sure Aden is more than willing to help, right darling?" She nudges him with a small smile.
He nods slightly and smiles tightly at Jeff, cue him to get out. Granted, the Next gives up this round but his smirk promises another one. Thankfully, the toddlers change the atmosphere questing for pancakes. While Emmett and Steven, with the quadruplet Aria, Athena, Simon and Sylvester (Emelie's and Reed's children) and Camille Boa-Cameron-Cavallone-Bancroft-Elton (BCCBE) who are four, eat happily the meal, Adrian tries really hard to not eavesdrop. But it's quite difficult when the couple suddenly talks after moment of silence, he's just curious, okay?
"So, Julian?"
"Yeah, my...ex. Remember the guy who we run into?"
"Oh, right, the cop." The tone employed let easily Aden knows what his wife is implying.
"I know what are you thinking."
"Yeah? And I still regret that you haven't the chance to wear the outfit on the stage."
"Well, I could make that up soon."
Seeing the smile, Aden hopes that everything is okay between them. But his better half is very something. "You could but I don't forget you're hesitation. You're mine, remember?"
"Oh, am I?"
"Of course, even the decree says that."
"So you are." The actor smiles.
"I am. And I can live with that."
"Sure you can. Because you love me."
"Yes, I do."
"I love you, too."
Then it's just kiss songs and Adrian turns red to eavesdrop such a private conversation.
Like he said, end of September, Aden re-contacts all of them with a wide smile on his mouth like it could crack his face.
"I'm dad!"
And the April ninth 2055, Ciel Brooks is born.
