| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Benny simply tilted his head to the side and stared back at the hubby as Adi tried to argue with his logic of things. Yes, he was well aware that it wasn’t a potentially dangerous potion…he was just trying to get his other half into his brewing mindset. “Thank you love,” he remarked as he dredged the second piece of chicken, putting it in the pan with its brethren when he was done. “You are my hero.” Even if he wasn’t really in danger.
He bit back a laugh at the stuck-out tongue, moving to continue with the cooking. “So considerate…” the dragon confirmed with a nod. “I just don’t wish to be too entertained that I get distracted.” Merlin forbid that would happen. “The griff wouldn’t want me to burn the chicken.” Because that would be a horror! One must treat the precious poultry with such care…so that it came out so delicious for their tummies.
Especially Adi’s.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Adi laughed. Indeed, he could say that he was Benny’s hero. He watched Benny complete the necessary with the chicken. “Fine then. I’ll just stay here as still as possible while trying not to be too entertaining.’’ Your wish was his command, Benny! Or at least, he could try to be as still as possible. “Sure smells good,’’ he commented, his stomach rumbling slightly. The guy vaguely wondered if Benny heard it. It was at that moment that he remembered that they would need something for dessert. “I hope we’ve got ice cream.’’ He moved to the fridge to check. Raj liked ice cream so the dads always made sure to have some on hand at all times. A few minutes of rummaging told him that there was a tub of chocolate flavoured. Awesome! “Shall we eat at the table or the couch?” |

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Benny smiled as Adi gave in, promising something that may or may not be possible. Into the pan with the cooking chicken went the wine and the lemon slices, the food just about done. Everything just needed a little time to mesh and meld…all the smells certainly already did. Swish…swish…swish, the utensil in his hand lightly scraping the pan as he mixed things around as it finished cooking.
And there was Adi’s sweet tooth.
He seemed to remember picking up some ice cream, so unless someone had been all into it already, there HAD to be some left. “How about on the couch.” After all Raj wasn’t there so they needn’t be examples and always act like perfect adults at the dinner table. Letting the food settle, Benny moved to the cabinet to retrieve two dishes, moving to plate enough for each of them.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Adi stared around at the inside of the fridge. It was usually well stocked because of the fact that he was a foodie. Who needed to be stuck in the nightmare of not having a snack around when he was feeling hungry? Or whenever Raj needed one and instead of receiving the snack, he in turn gave his fathers a giant tantrum. Nope, there always MUST be foo- aha! There was the ice cream! Chocolate flavoured too
While Benny took care of the food, Adi took the time to scoop some of the frozen treat into dishes. A quick nonverbal spell on the dishes was sure to keep the ice cream from melting while they ate their dinner. Holding the dishes, he turned to Benny. "Going to take these to the living room.'' He could hardly wait to eat then enjoy the rest of the evening with his husband. His stomach made hunger noises as he made his way to the couch. |

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna It was his turn to watch Adi as he searched for the ice cream, the dinner plates only half-filled with the freshly cooked food. “Alright…” Benny mused as the hubby grabbed the dishes of ice cream and headed off to the living room, the dragon finishing up his own plating before depositing the pan and utensils in the sink with a spell to clean them. One thing off his mind as he grabbed the silverware and plates and followed Adi soon after. “Dinner is served…” he said, setting the plates on the coffee table with an exaggerated flourish that ended. As he straightened up, he moved to take his own seat on the couch beside his other half. "Buon appetite," he added with a kiss to Adi's cheek.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Adi sat cross legged Indian style. Finally! It was the time he had been waiting for. Well... one of them. He set the ice cream on the table that stood before the couch then turned to see if the hubby needed help. Benny seemed to have everything covered though and Adi accepted his food. “Anything in particular you want to do later?’’ he asked and dug in. He took the first bite and it was like his taste bud had died and gone to heaven. “I think the foods you prepare get better each time you cook,’’ the guy teased. It was half true but only because Benny was already a great cook. Adi satin silence for a while as they ate; he was too busy enjoying. All too soon, however, he had eaten everything... but the ice cream!
Wasting no time, Adi dug into that as well. “I’m about half way full,’’ he informed Benny. |

| New Scene Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Benny settled back and took a cut of the chicken before spearing it with his fork. Raising it to his nose to absorb the delicious aroma before takin the bite and savoring it all together. Mhmmm mhmm good. “I was thinking maybe a movie without interuptions…” he mused after swallowing the morsal. Or with more private interruptions then the usual attention-needing toddler if that was to be the case. That wouldn’t matter as long as they got to be all cozy together. “Well I learned quite early on, the best way to your heart is through your stomach, so I have to keep you interested,” he teased back with a gentle nudge shoulder to shoulder. He was a bit slower in his eating, though enjoying the meal as much as his other half regardless. “You’re on your own for anything more.” The dragon was done with the cooking and the overal preparation of food for this evening. Other then vanishing their dinner plates to the kitchen counter to have them out of the way.
------------------------------------
As they arrived at the doctor’s office, Benny couldn’t help but feel out of place. The waiting room was filled with women…and more often than not, their significant others. He and Adi were neither, just two expectant dads, a fact that at times still left him reeling. Rajesh was going to be a big brother to the newest boy or girl that would be joining their family thanks to Adi’s cousin’s help as their surrogate. A process that was already proving to be more nervewracking than adoption.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Was this something new to Adi? Of course it was. Was he nervous? Nope! He could see Benny was though, and he reached for the hubby’s hand. “Lots of ladies,’’ he whispered unnecessarily. He gave a few of the nearby ones a grin. Surely there were some dads around here? He didn’t dwell much on it though because he was now thinking about his cousin.
How was she?
Did Sanjana know the gender of his and Benny’s new child?
Exciting times!
Adi just wished a doctor or nurse or whomever would just call their names so that they’d be able to get all the information soon. |

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Benny felt the familiar touch on the skin of his hand and gave Adi’s own a light squeeze in response before looking at him. “Yeah,” he agreed quietly to the whisper almost redundantly with a nod. Sanjana wasn’t one of them that was for sure and he couldn’t remember what the exact time of her appointment was to actually clue him in if she was in already or meeting them there and they happened to be early. Get a grip, Atreyu!
Deep breath. In…one…two. “I wonder what’s going on.” he asked, covering both basis just as truthfully. His blue-eyed gaze flickering around the room once more, smiling politely as he caught the attention of one of the women and her husband in passing. “Atreyu-Rehman?”
That sure got his attention, his head quickly turning to the nurse who was the source.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Adi wasn’t remotely worried. Sanjana was pretty much capable, he was sure. He was also certain that she wasn’t nervous about anything. That cousin of his could face anything that came her way and that included carrying his and Benny’s baby, for hopefully, nine months. He looked over at Benny again, thinking that his husband was definitely nervous enough for both Adi and Sanjana. In that case, Adi would be excited enough for Benny. Balance... it was important and they always managed to level each other out.
Hearing their names, those playful brown eyes quickly flicked in the direction of the nurse. “That’s us,’’ he said. “How’s my cousin?’’ he continued, wanting to hear that Sanjana was alright. Her health came first and Adi knew that Benny would agree with that. |

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna He didn’t have to see Adi’s face to know that his husband had joined him in being attentive to the nurse but he did briefly glance at him as he caught the question and feel mildly sheepish. “Yes…how is she?” Benny asked looking back at the woman and echoing Adi’s concern for his cousin. His cousin-in-law. As nervous as he might be, he nor Adi was actually going through anything physically. Sanjana was the one who was and just needed their support from the sidelines. “She is fine and doing well,” the nurse assured them with a nod. “Though she and the doctor wished for you to join them.” She knew the procedure well, balancing the rights and level of comfort of both the surrogate and parents. Right…that was what they were here for Benny supposed. Not just to sit outside in the waiting room and wondering about what was going on and waiting for a hopeful report. He glanced at Adi before getting to his feet trying to ease the nerves even just a little so he didn’t appear too out of sorts to Sanjana. Be brave, Atreyu…he reminded himself as he moved to follow the nurse back. At least put on a brave face in the midst of everything going on. The woman stopping at a door at motioning them to enter.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Adi breathed a sigh of relief at the words. There were way too many complications that could happen with this so it felt as though had been lifted from his shoulders. At least for now. And he knew Benny was feeling the same. So far, so good; he just hoped that things would continue this way. The guy would feel very guilty if something untoward happened to Sanjana.
Only positive thoughts, Adi!
He climbed to his feet and moved to follow Benny. He wasn’t sure what to expect as no amount of research would actually prepare him for the very real-life scenarios that were about to occur. “So... no complications?” Adi asked, unable to wait to see the doctor. Sometimes nurses would simply leave the deliverance of bad news to the doctors. |

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna “No…no complications,” the nurse remarked in assurance, though not sure what else to say to the duo from her specifically. “Though the doctor will know more,” she added, opening the door for them. The doctor was more informed of the matter at hand and it was probably best that she'd be the one to talk with them regardless. Benny took the hint and didn’t push further himself seeing as Adi hadn’t gotten much from the nurse. So instead he stepped inside the room as directed, doing his best to appear calm as he spotted the doctor and Sanjana awaiting them. A small smile gracing his features. “Hi…hello.” Yeah…he wasn’t appearing awkward and nervous at all. Just a warm, friendly greeting towards a medical professional and a cousin who was doing A LOT for them.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Adi eyed the nurse as though trying to determine if she really didn’t have more news to share or if she simply chose not to. In the end, he decided that the doctor would let him and Benny have the full story so he just nodded and followed Benny into the room. He barely noticed the doctor because his eyes were all for his cousin. “Hey!’’ Adi hurried over to greet and lightly hug her. Sanjana was HUGE! Gosh, he was still in awe... and couldn’t resist; he had to tease her. “Whale,’’ was what he jokingly whispered to her.
To which he received a hearty punch on a shoulder. Sanjana was laughing as he rubbed the said shoulder. There seemed to be a new glow on her face, as though he knew something he didn't. Shaking his head at her and letting Benny have his moment with her, Adi turned his attention to the doctor. “Are they both okay? Mom and baby?''
The guy just might need a confirmation here. |

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Adi was a good distraction, causing him to chuckle at the playful punch he received from Sanjana. Whatever had been shared in whispered tones had earned him the gesture that he likely deserved, whatever the case. His other half being his other half, playfully teasing just like he had always had as long as they had known each other. “Oh yes, everything is going well,” the doctor assured before glancing at her patient. The newest discovery was something however which was why she and Sanjana were quick to involve the couple further today. “Both babies have a healthy heartbeat on the monitor which we can all certainly see today.”
Benny let out a sigh of relief at the added assurance from the doctor, smiling at his cousin in law a bit more relaxed. He absently nodded as the woman went on, not readily noting the use of both in reference to their offspring at first. "That's great." Both went Sanjana and the baby clearly, the former getting a hug from him once free from her cousin’s grasp.

| Challenge 5: You can't use the word “said” in your post. ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Sanjana gave Benny a big hug. When she pulled back, she grinned and winked at him. “Adi still treating you right? Because you know you and I would make a dynamite couple,’’ she flirted unashamedly. She didn’t even care that the doctor was there and possibly listening to her every word.
Adi, on the other hand, used to Sanjana’s flirting with Benny, rolled his eyes. “Fat chance, Sanajana.’’ Benny was his and his alone. In amusement, he turned his attention back to the doctor. “They’re fine... that- wait. Did you just say both babies?’’
His eyes darted from the doctor to Sanjana and then to Benny. Both babies?!
He had heard correctly, right? |

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna There was her teasing of him, the dragon feeling a slight creep of color across his pale skin as he let Adi have the first response. “Yep, sorry…. Still very happily married.” And always would be so she was out of luck, no matter how much jest or seriousness was in her flirting. And that was after the matter of whether or not he actually swu---Wait…what was Adi saying? His face scrunched up in question and confusion, looking between the husband and the cousin before resting on the doctor as she spoke again. “Yes I did,” the doctor confirmed with a nod. “The treatment resulted in twins.”
It was then that the confusion slowly melted into shock as the truth being shared with him, with him and Adi, tried to sink into his mind. To say he was caught off guard was a vast understatement.
Twins?!
Wha---how?
Oh boy!
Okay, he really didn’t know what to do with his info, and what to say, the dragon unconsciously leaning back against the wall he found behind him with a soft sigh. This was a surprise to say the very least and a curve ball thrown into their little family.

| Challenge 30: Never mention your character's name in a post, but use other... ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. There was a smirk on his face; not a huge one but one that was visible enough for Sanjana to see the obvious triumph that accompanied it. Benny would never cave to the cousin’s flirting. But now, his gaze was on Benny as the hubby caught on. That’s right. Apparently, they were going to have TWO babies. TWINS
Sanjana, though disappointed at Benny’s rejection yet again, enjoyed seeing the shocked expressions on the to-be fathers’ faces. The glowing young woman was grinning as she tucked a stray strand of her dark hair behind an ear. She continued to watch the scene unfold with happiness and interest.
Noting Benny’s reaction, the pro Gobstones player moved towards him and reached for one of those all too familiar dragon claws. “Benny?’’ The guy lifted his free hand to the other man’s cheek. “You okay, babe?’’ The hubby was definitely in shock here. |

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna The doctor remained quiet as she watched the reaction to her words. It wasn’t her place to interrupt, letting the family have their moment while she prepared to show the proof should it be so desired. The woman writing in her patient’s file for further reference.
He startled slightly as Adi took his hand, pulling him from his thoughts. His gaze raising to focus on the badger’ own as his cheek was caught in his familiar grasp. “Uh huh…” Benny assured his husband, gradually relaxing his reaction. “Just…just surprised.” On the other hand, his other half seemed to be far more…calm about the revelation. As did Sanjana, who was positively beaming though now going through double of what she agreed to help them with.
Two times the babies.
Giving Adi’s hand a squeeze to reassure him that he was really okay, Benny searched for the doctor with curiosity. Though “How?” was all he could get out. It wasn’t like twins ran in his family and he wasn’t aware of them in Adi’s. The doctor looked up at the word, knowing it was to her that the question was asked. “With the hormones and number of embryos, its actually more common than one might expect for various reasons. Here…just a combination of circumstances.”

| Challenge 10: Don't refer to any characters by name in this post. ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. The ex-badger did not have to worry about the ex-dragon. He could tell that the hubby really was okay and just needed to get over the shock of discovering that they were going to be fathers to an additional baby. That would make three kiddos in total... was it wrong that he was thinking of asking his other half if they could try for baby number four? Now probably wasn’t a good time as they had to deal with the current, exciting situation at hand. “I’m surprised too,’’ he murmured. “But it’s a good kind of surprise.’’ The man smiled at the reassuring squeeze then turned to look at the doctor as she responded to the question.
Oh.
So that’s how it happened. “Well, I think we all can handle twins.’’ The guy looked to his cousin. “Right?’’ “Definitely,” the young woman said, smiling broadly. She was pretty happy to help the couple in this way. She herself was excited for the birth of the twins but there was still a long way to go. In the meanwhile, she would have to deal with the vomiting and all the other irksome symptoms. |

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Benny had to wonder if that little fact had been shared with them as they first discussed the surrogate and IVF procedure. Certainly, that would have limited the level of surprise and awkwardness from the would-be parents like the themselves when the time came. At least Adi admitted to the fact that he had been just as caught off guard by the news as much as he had been. Just recovered or covered the level of his feelings more. “Right…” he agreed, echoing the affirmation of Sanjana if only a tad less enthusiastic in his choice of words. They could do this. They were in this together, him and Adi...and Sanjana for a time, just like they always have been. Not like it could be harder than dealing with a preserve filled with hippogriffs and dragons.
Right?
----------------------Months Later--------------------------------
Free of her burden, Sanjana was miles away in her own home to recover while they were home in theirs dealing with the new parent thing…again. Benny leaned against the door jam of the nursery, arms folded loosely across his chest, absently watching the room’s two occupants after finally getting them down for a midday nap. Thankfully Rajesh off with grandparents for some quality time while they adjusted to the new additions. And spoiling of course to make sure the boy didn't feel any less love with new siblings in the mix. “So…still think we can do it?” His gaze casually shifting over his shoulder to his husband.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Adi was tired. Between the reserve and family life with newly born twins who cried at all hours of the day and night, the man himself needed a nap. He was particularly grateful that Raj was off being pampered by Benny’s parents but even so, he missed his son. Adi came up behind Benny then slipped his arms around the husband’s waist. His lively brown eyes, albeit the tiredness written on his face, found the twins in their crib. “So far, so good,’’ the man said with a smile. “Not having doubts, are you?’’ he threw in a tease. Adi still couldn’t believe that they had two tiny additions to their family. “Still in shock that there are two of them?’’ That was something he would never forget: Benny’s shocked face when they found out that Sanjana had been carrying twins. |

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna All it took was the first soft touch of Adi’s arms slipping around him for Benny to lean lightly back against the former badger. “Mhmm…” All was going relatively well, even if mildly tiring given the sleep or non-sleep and crying schedule the twins seemed to be one currently. “Nooo…” he protested before chuckling softly as he realized the hubby was teasing him. A state of status quo in their relationship since the very beginning. As for the level of shock in their lives, he added a “…sometimes,” to his overall answer. “Just jumping quicker than planned to that good ol’ number four.” As in the number of kids he was currently agreed to for their little despite the fact that he knew very well Adi wanted more. A rugby team if he could possibly pull it off.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Adi happily perched his chin on Benny’s shoulder, his eyes fixed on his sleeping girls as his husband leaned into him. He laughed. “I’ve never seen you look more exhausted,’’ he teased but only half so. It was true. The girls were required a lot more attention than Raj had at the time they had adopted him. “You should catch up on sleep while you’ve got the chance.’’ What about himself? He wasn’t that tired but a nap sounded good. Then he was back to his teasing. “The twins will prepare you for our fourth child.’’ So far, they had agreed to that much but Adi doubted that he would get away with trying for a fifth; Benny remained stubborn on that much. “Yep. Time’s moving quickly.” After all, he and Benny had been a couple for a fair amount of years now. #CoupleGoals “Sooo… have you decided about a fifth one?’’ Adi asked innocently and casually. He often sprang the question at his other half, hoping for a favourable response.
Was he going to get one today? |

Benny half-laughed, carefully not to jostle the presence on his shoulder. “Oh really? I would have thought at least once during say…NEWTS…I was just as bad.” He had always been super studious and super concerned when exams came along even though he knew his stuff most of the time. Except maybe in potions where he needed the extra help. Or Adi’s brain. “Or was it during University?” As for sleeping right now, he gingerly shook his head. For some reason as tired as he felt, he felt odd trying to sleep during the day. “For sure.” The dealing with more than one child at a time. “I don’t know,” he remarked, noting that Adi had quickly skipped from the fourth child in favor of adding a fifth to their intended count. “I’m not sure I’m ready for the grey count to become serious.” As him aging prematurely to try and keep up with so many kids. Dragons and wizards might live long lives but he couldn't run himself too ragid too fast.
