Brothers reunited

It was a cool November afternoon. The wind had a chill and a slight breeze, while the ground was littered with the red, orange, and yellow leaves that come and go every autumn. Nick personally enjoyed the autumn weather, but did his twin daughters? No. It was self evident from the constant short bursts of tears and moans from the four month olds that they hated the autumn weather.

Emma and Emily, Nick's twin daughters, had a routine check up at St. Mungos today. Usually Sarah would take them, but Nick had the day off, and decided to let his wife to be relax. The twins were dressed identically in a sweater with a pair of thick pants and boots. Nick on the other hand, just had a simple hoddie with jeans and his normal shoes.

As he walked into St. Mungos, he signed in and took the twins out of their stroller and sat down. Looking at his daughters, he noticed Emma's cheeks and nose was a bright red from the cold, while Emily only had a light shade of pink. He sat them both on his lap and waited to be called back ingo one of their offices.

Andrian had to bring Alexia to work today, he decided that Mimi, Sophia's house elf needed a break since she had been working herself way too hard for his liking. The loss of his three kids were still raw in his heart, he was still getting used to the fact that he only had one kid now - not four. He was still grieving over them, but he stayed strong for his daugther sake. The hospital had a day care center just a few doors from his office so he could check on her every now and then.

Andrian pushed open the door to his office and closed the door behind as soon as his daughter step inside. "And this is my office," Andrian looked at Alexia smugly. "This office is sooo boring," groaned Alexia slumping into his office chair. Andrian rolled his eyes and walked towards the wall where his doctor uniform was. "Yeah, theres not much to look in daddy's office," he said, turning his office chair around and sending Alexia who was sitting in his chair spinning around. "Hey!" Alexia shouted.

Andrian put on his doctor uniform and placed his hand on the chair, causing it to come to a sudden stop. "Come on, daddy will take you to the day care," said Andrian, smiling handing Alexia a lolly pop. "Don't tell mummy," he shush her, placing an index finger on his lips and winked. Alexia giggled and took his hand and they started walking out of his office, towards the day care. Alexia loved the day care centre, they took good care of her and all the kids loved her. The only thing he needed to worry is Alexia blowing up the whole place with her potion experiment.

After waiting for what seemed like a long time, Nick was finally called back into a room for the twin's checkup. Emma had fallen asleep while waiting in the waiting room, and Emily had a fascination with playing with her fingers. A nurse gently laid the babies down on a medical bench made especially for babies, and began to do prep work for the doctor who according to the nurse, would be in to see them in just a minute.

Nick wasn't too fond of hospitals or doctor's offices. He didn't like the fact of knowing that some poor people could be dieing in just the other room. Thankfully they weren't in that part of St. Mungos.

Nick looked over at his children, they were being abnormally quiet, he couldn't tell wether there was something wrong, or if they were just taking in their surroundings.

As Andrian started walking down the corridor, he began filling out a piece of card which stated he attended work today and popped it into the wooden box. Then turned around to walk towards the daycare centre. "What does Daddy work as?" Alexia asked, out of boredom. "Hmm?" said Andrian, looking up from his notebook. "Oh, Daddy work with sick kids," he smiled. "I am like superman, when a little kid if sick Andy comes flying in and save them," he said, holding his arm out and his other arm bent like a super hero and pretended he was flying. "Yeah, your superman, as if!" giggled Alexia. "What I am," said Andrian, looking at her confused, he was only mucking around with her. "You think that, dad," she rolled her eyes.

Andrian chuckled and they finally arrived at the day care and like always Alexia rushes towards the other kids and start playing with them. "I'll be back here to pick her up at three," he told her day carer. "See you later, pumpkin," he waved at Alexia and started to walk out. Andrian life was getting together now, he regained his memories and in the next few days he was getting married to the girl he loved. Life couldn't get better.

Andrian felt a little hungry and the vending machine was just a few step in front of him. He dugged his hand into his pocket and pulled some silvers out. "What do we have today," he muttered, looking through the vending machine.

The physician had finally came into the room and began to perfom tests on the babies. Height, weight, making sure they were growing at the proper rate. After about twenty minutes or so he was finished. According to the physician everything was perfectly fine with the twins. They were the same height and almost the same weight.

After strapping the twins back into their stroller and being kicked in the head by Emma, because she didn't like her stroller and would rather be held and carried, Nick began to exit the room. Upon exiting and going through some hallways, he'd seen his brother Andrian.

Nick and Andrian really hadn't talked since Nick's fourth year when they'd gotten in a huge fight. Nick couldn't even remember what it was about, just that it almost gotten them expelled. But shouldn't Andrian still be allowed to know his nieces? Nick thought so.

So Nick slowly and cautiously approached Andrian and began to speak. ''Hello Andrian'' were the only words Nick could say. After all, what else could he say?

Andrian popped in a couple galleon into the vending machine and picked what he wanted. But like any other vending machine it decided to be a prick. "You things are useless," furrowed Andrian, banging the side of the machine but it refused to move. He pressed refund and got his money in and tried again. This time getting two of what he ordered, he was happy again.

Andrian bent down to grab what he got and heard a familiar voice behind him. He slowly got up on his feet and turned to the source of the voice only to find his little brother approached him. "Nick?" he said, almost didn't recognising his brother. It has been a while since they both seen each other. They both had a massive fight last they met, he was caught with Nikki kissing in the prefect bathroom.

"What you doing here?" asked Andrian, looking at his brother. He didn't know what to feel about his brother, especially after the big news a couple days ago. He wasn't sure if he should be angry at him or hug him. But he didn't forgive Nick for what he did to that poor girl, Cecilia. He didn't want his little brother becoming who he was when he was younger.

So Andrian had recognized him. Nick himself knew that Andrian was hard to recognize, so Nick had to be the same way for Andrian. ''Well I have two twin daughters, and they had a checkup today.'' He explained. Then Nick realized Emma and Emily were Andrian's nieces. He decided to wait until a later time to tell him about Mollie. ''Andrian these are your nieces, Emma is the one on the left, and Emily is on the right.'' Nick continued. The twins looked more like Sarah in the face, but you could still tell that they were Nick's children.

Nick's heart was racing, was this conversation easier than Nick thought it would be? He thought Andrian still hated him after what transpired between them, all those years ago.

"You have more kids?" Andrian said, shocked to find that Nick had got three kids. He knew about Mollie and now he had two more nieces. Nick surely been busy the last few years. Andrian didn't know what to say to Nick, his heart was racing against his chest. He didn't know what to feel. Did he want to rip his brother head off his shoulders or be cool about it. "When did that happen?" he said, all he could bring himself to say. "I knew about Mollie, whats this?" he said, a little bluntly. The shock and anger was obvious to tell by the tone of his voice. "When was you going to tell me you had nieces?" he asked.

Shit, Andrian knew about Mollie, now what could he say? ''Well honestly I thought you still hated me, so I never really planned on telling you.'' Nick said truthfully. He took a slight pause and knelt down to attend to Emma who began to become inpatient in sitting in the stroller. ''Well I'm sure Cecilia told you all about Mollie. I really did try to make it work with her but she pushed me out of Mollie's life. Well after about a month and a half I met Sarah. We had a child and it turned out to be twins. I'm currently engaged to her.'' He finished. Nick had no clue on how Andrian would react to this news.

Andrian listened to his brother excuse about Mollie, what he did to Cecilia and why so suddenly he had three nieces. Andrian watched as Nick tended Emma, he could tell Nick was a great father but it sitll didn't make up for what he did. "As much as I am pleased for you to have kids and that I have nieces now," he said, looking at his brother and furrowed his eyebrows. "What gave you the right to force yourself on some young girl like Cecilia?" he asked, pointing down the corridor as if Cecilia was right beside him. He was sorry for his brother for being cut out of his other daughters life, but he wasn't going to let him get away from it just because of that. He wanted to hear his story before he knock his brother in the head.
