Ariana went behind some bushes where she changed back into her human form and she just sat there for a moment, where she let a few tears fall, that was Not the reaction she wanted, not by far

Harvey smiled as she agreed to his terms of the promise, even better when she sealed it with a kiss. He smiled as she rolled her eyes at him and he nodded "Yeah I am happy now that you have agreed with me. " he smiled as she poked him in the chest, he rubbed the place where she had poked him "Hope I don't get a bruise there tomorrow" he chuckled jokingly as he said this. He nodded "Yeah too bad. But I guess it was better that way, it gave us time to slowly adjust to anything new between us" he said. At least they hadn't jumped onto it but eased into slowly in their own way as and when they saw fit.

Harvey watched as her eyes went all teary as she tried to blink them back so as not to cry in front of anyone.. he hadn't meant to make her cry. He was just letting her know how he felt. He could feel her smile against his lips as she kissed him, well at least he knew those were happy tears right? he listened as she told him the same back whispering to him before giving him a hug. He held her in his arms returning the hug "You are right, I am an idiot. An idiot for not realising it sooner, and for not telling you sooner." he whispered in her ear as he hugged her. He was glad he told her cause he was really considering not telling her but then decided to tell her. He had now ended up with the biggest smile on his face as he held Ella in his arms, there was no way he was letting go of her now.. not even if she tried to leave.

He smiled and nodded as he looked at Ella as she laughed "Yeah they are! I completely agree with you on that" he chuckled as he looked at all the kids playing, it was a beautiful scene to watch. Maybe there would be a little Ella or Harvs in that mix of kids, but only time would tell if that happened for now they were going with the flow whever life took them together.



Daniel smiled and nodded as Kate told him that Maxwell liked to give rides "Ok but make sure you dont pull on his hair too much! Don't want to hurt Maxwell now do we?" he smiled as he watched Kate riding.. he then looked at Christian as he pounced onto Justin "Christian don't be so rough, play nicely! This is not real wrestling!" he called out to his youngest shaking his head smiling. Even though he was having fun with his kids, he couldn't help but miss Leelee as he looked round to see the couples together. But he knew that she was busy with work, plus this way he could be with his kids as they played happily.

Christian pounced onto Justin as his dad called to him "But its fun to do that, and I am not being rough I am playing nicely" he called to his dad as he wrestled with Justin a little. He never understood why his dad thought he was being too rough when he played.. he wasn't rough.. that was how to play.



Soon there was another animal on the scene as both Daniel and Harvey looked on, they were not sure it was a good idea just as they heard Minnie say what they were thinking. At least they werent the only ones thinking it then, but at least Minnie had voiced it.

Minerva looked at Vinnie, "I.. I think I'm going to head home. Not feeling well all of the sudden." She turned to head towards the fire place. When she heard Maxwell in a split second she faced him anger showing on her face. "A promise... I didn't ask, Why the heck would I ask if your friend can do what you can do. I studied for years with you and not once did you say she was practicing. I have NEVER kept a single thing in all these years from you and you have kept this from me for how long? What else are you hiding from me?? What else might I not know? I could have killed her protecting those children. If she wants to harm her baby then she can do it when I'm not here watching. I thought I was their best friend as well, but all these years you three have kept a secret from me. I don't get it, did you think I would tell the world??? The party will be fine without me.. I'm going home."

Maxwell kept his voice calm and looked her in the eyes. "Look when you and I were studying i didn't know she was..She was stealing my books..which is why i always needed to buy new ones..she figured it out on her own...the only reason i found out was i saw her on the grounds one year and we got in a fight because i thought she was a wild wolf..she made me promise not to tell anyone because she wasn't legal..I'm sorry, Min i don't know how to make this up to you...there's nothing else you don't know.."

" Min! wait... comeon please?! just calm down and it can be explained... Pleaded Justin who had run into the house after them....

Vinnie glared at her son... Furious that he had kept things from not only her , but his best friend as well.... Minerva, Dear... Come and relax... all this yelling isn't goos for the babies.... Come and sit down for a bit..."

Just then little maxie ran inside into all the yelling he was confused and didnt get why all the adults were yelling at one another but ut made him sad it was his birthday so he sat on the kitchen floor and pouted before the tears came from him being frightned by the yelling and he began crying on the floor/

Minerva looked at him as the anger still boiled inside of her, "Funny how all of you are such powerful wizards that you can figure out the change, but non of you could ever bother to go to class and actually learn something that mattered. Now if you don't mind I think the party can handle it's self and I am going to head home. You stay with your best friends and enjoy your little togetherness." She went to turn when she heard Justin not looking at him she snapped, "You might want to check on that baby your wife is carrying. All the stuff I read back in school.. all the dangers.. that was stupid." She looked at the fire place wanting so badly a quick exit, but wasn't chancing it. She was almost out the door when she heard Vinnie. "Vinnie I'm fine and the babies are fine."

Maxwell felt his anger flare up and for the first time in their relationship his eyes turned red because of her. "I learned what i needed to and i graduated...I am a grown man and school is over, i don't need to be reminded about the things i did wrong." He said in no mood for the lecture he'd been getting for 12 years. "You're just going to walk out on your godson's party? how do you intend to get back to London?" He snapped.

Minerva had mentioned something that set his blood to boil... His unborn child had better not be harmed do to his wife's antics... "Ariana!... I suggest you get in here and explain why it is you decided to transform in your condition....." Justin said in a furious tone... He remembered a promise he had made a long time ago.... But it didn't count in his eyes at this time.... The stakes were too high for him to shirk off her behavoir....

Daniel was quite shocked at everything that was now going on here.. a fun day turned bad "Christian, Kate please come here and stand with me" he called out to his kids. He didn't need them getting hurt in anything that may start, Leelee wouldnt be too happy if she knew they had been hurt while at a party. So Ariana too was an animagus? and no-one knew? no wonder everyone was upset.

Christian went to his dad's side with his sister in tow both confused as to what had suddenly happened that had ruined their fun. "Dad, why is everyone shouting? what happened?" he asked tugging at his dad's pants, as Kate also looked to her father for explanation

Daniel looked down at his kids "Nothing, just some adult stuff, some misunderstanding that has happened. But it will be ok soon, just stay with me ok?" he said to them both as he held onto their hands watching the scene before him unfold at the seams

Christian and Kate both nodded and held onto their father's hands tightly, they knew something was wrong but were not being told obviously.

Harvey stood there in shock? Ariana was an animagus? after all these years they had known each other and not one person knew it except Justin and Maxwell.. he understood that Minnie was upset.. even he was to an extent. He wanted to voice his opinion too.. but with Ella there he decided to stay out of it. But he just hoped that all of this would not affect the unborn babies of both women, even he knew that stress and all the shouting was not good for the babies that were still growing inside. He had read somewhere that these things can effect them in some way or another, he couldnt remember what it was exactly. Yeah he was going to stay out of this he thought as both Justin and Maxwell started getting more and more upset with Justin getting angry at Ariana. Harvey held Ella close to him he hoped nothing would happen cause they were all friends at the end of the day

Ariana then heard Justin yell at her, and she quickly got up went into the house grabbed her son and headed towards the door, she was not about to let her mistake ruin this day and she would take him and celebrate elsewhere. she walked outside and towards their car and strapped max in his carseat and got in the car locking the doors

The party planner in her jumped up to her subconscious and she looked at Maxwell. "I will deal with you later." She glared into his red eyes not caring that they had changed. Walking into the kitchen she moved around getting the cake ready. Breathing heavy from a small pain that she assumed was just stress. She then saw Ari take Max and walk out the front door. She sighed and followed Ariana.. "Ariana, don't be dumb just bring Max in to finish his party." She glared at her friend knowing she was stubborn. Taking out her wand again "Alohomora" at the back door and opened it. "Now are you coming in or am I just taking Max in for his ice cream and cake."

Ariana swung around as she heard the back door open "YOU will be taking MY SON NOWHERE!" she snapped at her her eyes raging with anger

Maxwell was very angry with his wife, making a big deal of nothing. 'She'll deal with me later? as if i'm a child who's misbehaved?!' He thought angrily, he growled at her and stormed off in his Animagus form finding a tree and laying beneath it, clawing at the roots to get out his anger..

Minerva kept her voice calm she knew it was wrong to yell in front of a child and thought Ariana was acting more immature then Max's age. "It is his birthday party and Vinnie spent a lot of money and time on this party. So he needs to go back and enjoy his special day. Think about someone other then yourself for once." The words slipped through her mouth without even thinking. She didn't mean them she knew she didn't, but when she was upset she said things just to hurt people's feelings.

Justin's face flushed with a quick paced rage . He tore after Ariana and got to the car just after Ari snapped at Minerva.... " Ariana Wellheart !!!! Stables! .... NOW!!! " he yelled at the top of his lungs pointing towrds the stables.

"Other than Myself!? I NEVER think of myself Minerva! and that boy means the world to me, and he will have his party when I say so because I am his MOTHER not you not justin not Vinnie ME." she snapped back at her in an angry tome but not yelling.

Ariana got out of the car and walked over to her husband and slapped him once across the face "i might be an animagus but that gives you NO right to treat me like an animal!" she said to him tears streaming down her face as she turned to return back to the car to leave.

" Ariana if you get in that bloody car of yours and drive off you might as well not bother coming back! Do you understand me?! " Justin called after her.... Had she just hit him....REALLY?! " Think about your choices before you react to anything, Ari.... " Justin said as he wiped the side of his mouth with the back of his hand... He meant what he had said.... This wasn't a simple issue....

Maxwell heard Justin's words from a distance and came running, transforming mid-stride. "Justin! How dare you say such a thing in front of your son!" He growled. "If you hurt her i will rip you in two!" He said feeling more angry than he had in years, Ariana was like his sister and any guy who'd hurt his sisters would face him, even one of his friends..

Minerva looked in shock at Maxwell. "Yeah jump to her rescue.. Maybe all those years ago you made the wrong choice. Maybe to animals are meant to be together." She turned feeling the pain getting worse. She took a deep breath stopping where she stood, but didn't make any indication that anything was really wrong. After it passed she walked into the house to get her purse and keys.

Maxwell was even more angered by this, the though of he and Ariana together was just gross and more than that he loved Minerva more than anything on earth. "Minerva, she's like my sister what do you want me to do?" He saw the deep breath and knew something wasn't right. "Min, what's wrong...forget us arguing are you okay?" He asked blocking her from leaving..

Ariana sat frozen in the car as she heard justin's words, them piercing her heart hurting her deeply. Had he really just threatened that, after all they been through he was going to let this RUIN everything. she did nothing she sat there tears streaming down her face frozen as if she had just seen a ghost for the first time. she didnt hear max or minerva or even her son crying in the backseat all she heard were justin's words echoing loudly Ariana if you get in that bloody car of yours and drive off you might as well not bother coming back! Do you understand me?!

" Ya might wanna back off, Mate.... This has nothing to do with you.... Why don't you go tend to your wife and leave me to deal with mine..." Justin growled back at Maxwell... " Go!" he said as he shoved him back out of his face.

" Ari, get out of the bleedin' car come in the house and upstairs.... We need to talk..." Justin said as he spoke more calmly to her as he saw the tears roll down her face... " PLease, Mamma..." his eyes softened...

Minerva looked at Maxwell with tears fighting to leave her eyes. "I am fine Maxwell. I have a party to try and save." She tried to get around him the pain pulling her hand to her stomach this time, but she forced it down and tried to head in the door.

she looked straight forward, anger and hurt in her eyes and on her face she sternly said "No." while not even looking at him
