Once in London, she decided to take the Muggle transportation to get there so the little ones could start getting used to that world too and wwwooowww, what an experience. Truth be told, she had been worrying the entire time whether either her toddler or her baby would accidentally - and maybe not that accidentally in Scarlett's case - use magic and wreak havoc amongst the Muggles, but it had been a surprisingly smooth journey, thank Merlin.

Happy that their Muggle-world experience had been going well so far, Sophie held Scarlett's small hand and had to pretty much drag the kid towards a seemingly run-down opera house while the smallest brunette girl kept trying to go the opposite way. "Trust mummy on this one, sweetheart." She had to keep telling her toddler, readjusting her baby carrier backpack multiple times as the girl kept tugging her hand at random directions.

Here was hoping this little trip would tire them both out completely. Merlin!
The instant silence was bequeathed upon Mordred as soon as their house was emptied with preschoolers, a toddler, and a helpless baby. Even Calen seemed to be relieved when all the noise was gone, because for the first time in years...he could hear his house elf humming. Mordred scoffed as he paused outside his home office to listen to Calen's soft footfalls as he cleaned the remaining mess made by his children, the singing birds just outside the window...Merlin, he can even hear the rustling of the leaves as the branches swayed with the wind. One can say that he was in paradise.

Without second thoughts, he quickly gathered his recent work assignment from the dragon reserve and made a makeshift office at their back porch. In minutes, he was in his element, and before he knew it...he was done with his paperwork. Mordred stared at his work, genuinely wondering what just happened. Apparently, the silence did him good. He finished all of his backlogs, and then some.

Out of habit, he took all of his paperwork back in his home office and wandered outside again to appreciate the peace and quiet. Mordred always longed for it, but he couldn't bring the topic for discussion with Sophie. He knew he'd hurt her feelings, seeing how much she's in her element when she's around her children; how Sophie always has the energy and the patience for them, will always be a mystery to him. But as he sat there alone, contemplating his present, Mordred felt that something didn't feel right. He was missing something the longer he stayed in silence and solitude.

...

Mordred grinned at what he saw and wasted no time to join his wife and children. "There are more owls inside, Scar. Mummy thought you'd like to see them," he said, holding onto Scarlett's outstretched arm as he pocketed his own ticket inside his pocket. Mordred then looked at Sophie and stroked Mackenzie's head. "I miss the noise and chaos, I had to follow you here." he said shifting his hand to fix his wife's hair.

The day just got more perfect.

"Would you like me to carry Mackenzie?"
