Easter dinner was something new for her, her family ha never really celebrated, her parents were too much of free spirits for it to really matter when it came to things like that to even attempt to force any sort of religious beliefs on their children. Something that she found so funny now considering how judgemental that they had been for so very long when it came to her, and later her brother Jamie. She missed him, and she knew that he would like stuff like this, after all, he had loved meeting for Christmas. He would have liked Jaxon, at least she thought that he would. She would have given anything for her brother to see her as she was now. To see her as happy as she was with the bar and all of the other things that she was finding made it better.

Her heart was full and today was only going to make it better. Renny was taking a nap, after getting into the banana pudding when she had been taking a shower before Jaxon had gotten there, but she had been able to make another rather quickly before Jaxon had gotten there. Everything thing was done and she was putting the last of the food on the table and she was hoping that he liked everything, that things would taste as they should. Some of it she had never had before and though she had had Kian, and Renny try things a few days prior she was still skeptical about it. After all, it was a lot of food and it had taken a lot of time to cook it all so she had plans to send some to Tessa since it was just going to be her, Jaxon and Renny, this time at least.

Maybe next year things would be different and there would be more members of their little family. The thought had her grinning and she was finding that she could not help herself with how happy it made her feel. She was happy for the first time in a very long time and she was scared that it was going to fade. She feared the loss of the happiness that she had currently had, but what she feared more is disappointing Jaxon. Looking up to where Renny and Jaxon seemed to be, she smiled and walked over to see if her son was awake yet. "Is he awake yet?" The ham and macaroni and cheese were still in the oven and only had a little while longer before they would be done. "It's almost ready. You want anything more to drink?"

Happy Easter day

Here comes Peter Cottontail

Hoppin' down the bunny trail

Easter had been a big deal when he had been back in the States growing up. He had gotten an Easter basket every year, and had always, always participated in Easter Egg hunts. He wanted to share that with his son. He was glad that a lot of the same traditions carried over to the holiday in the UK. Painting and coloring eggs was as popular in England as it had been in the US, so he had been able to get all the supplies to decorate eggs with Renny after dinner. The egg hunt he had planned for his boy was going to be plastic eggs only. That way, if one didn't get found, that wouldn't mean there was a sneaky stinky thing in the flat. Next year, he'd ask Aphrodite out to the cabin that way they could hide eggs in the yard. It'd be a good time. 

He had gone way overboard on Renny's Easter Basket. It'd had chocolate frogs, Bertie Bott's, and fizzing whizbees--as well as some of his favorite muggle candies like Reese cups, M&Ms and Cadbury creme eggs. But it hadn't just been candy. There had been a little basketball and Nerf football (of the American variety). And maybe there had been a little basketball goal to go with the little basketball, but that hadn't been actually in the basket... But it was all worth it. He had the money. He wanted Renny to have everything. Jaxon couldn't help spoiling his son when he had the chance. He wasn't ruining him. He made sure to teach the boy lessons when he could. He urged respect and made sure he said please and thank you. His boy would have the manners that Jaxon had been raised to have. 

They'd been playing hard for awhile before the little man had conked out. Jax was content to just sit there with his boy, though. It was a beautiful sight just to watch Ren sleep. Jaxon's heart felt so full every time he looked at his kid. He had helped make that. No matter what else he did in his life, Jaxon knew that he had done something undoubtedly right in that. Renny was perfect. His curls were as messy and unruly as Jaxon's and the Cole couldn't have been more pleased to have passed on that feature. There was so much of himself that he saw in the kid--and it just shook him in the most amazing way. Being a dad was the most terrifying and most gratifying experience of his life. 

The mother of the handsome little mess sleeping there beside him came over and Jaxon gave her one of his dazzling smiles. A shake of his head came before the drawled out answer to her question. "Nah, he ain't even stirrin'. He fought sleepin' s' hard he done wore 'imself out even more than he already wus." He leaned back looking from Affy to their boy and back to her again. Jaxon was smiling and at ease. He was so relieved that Aphrodite knew the truth about him. There was nothing more to fear--there was only honesty between them. There was no risk of him ever losing his boy. They were going to keep figuring out this parenting thing together...she was obviously a lot more experienced than he was, but he had some really great role models in his dad and grandfather.

"I'm alright," the man assured Affy. "I still got some water--and I ain't gonna open up a beer til we sit down to eat. It sure is smellin' good. You outdone ye'self, Af. Thank you must be tryin' to fattin' me up and slow me down. You secretly workin' for them Falcons, ain't ye?" He teased her, knowing with full confidence that was not the case. He needed to take in loads of calories, anyway, to support the amount he trained and exercised.

If there was ever something that she wanted in the world, it was this. This had been her dream since the moment that she had news that she was pregnant. She wanted a family of her own. She wanted a life that was her own because she deserved it. After her parents kicked her out she had been forced to live on her own. Though she already had been so it wasn't like it she had been destitute but she had lost it. The one thing that meant the most to her, family. Her brother was gone now and she had not spoken to her mother or father in years. Nor did she plan to. She was alone in the world save for her child. For her son, and he was the perfect little thing.

Days like today, where she saw her little angel running around with his father it reminded her of the things that she could have had and it hurt deep down on some level. It hurt her because it reminded her of what might have been. If she had not chosen Chris, if she had chosen someone else. If she had seen him for the bastard that he was, or even chosen Anthony. Would Renny's life be different now? Would he be the one that was alone, could he have siblings? What if she had never taken that potion. All thoughts that circled her mind as she tried to make some sense of what she felt. Find some reason for why she was feeling it. It was not fair by any means and she wished that she could go back, but there was no taking it back. There was no changing her mind now. The baby would have been a few months old now, it hurt her more than it should, but she had done what she thought was best. She had needed the money, it had helped her so much. She had to remember that she couldn't regret this.

Sitting next to their son where he was sleeping Affy ran a hand through his wild hair and smiled as she looked at him, happiness filling her as it always did. Oh, how she loved her little man. He had so much of her goodness and kindness that it struck to the heart of her. She had a lot of things to be thankful for in her life, and it was the small things like this that reminded her of just how lucky she was. "Play hard, nap harder. The Renny Layton-Cole way." She said with a snort before pulling the blanket from the back of the couch to cover him with and smiled as he snuggled down and curled up more in his father's lap. "Should probably take him to bed, but I think we can wait until the food is ready, at least. "

He complimented her and she grinned at it and shrugged. "I did a few dry runs with Renny. Found what worked for us and what didn't. Best not slow you down too much, else you might end up with a ball and chain. " She teased him softly before winking at him. She would admit to being jealous that he was in a relationship, but not of Tessa. She and Jaxon had never been romantic together, a few shags were as good as it got with them, though they were good shags. "Besides, the only seeker I ever saw who could keep up with you is Parkinson, and he's out of commission. Or so the rumor is. "

Happy Easter day

Here comes Peter Cottontail

Hoppin' down the bunny trail

It was beautiful being around his son and the boy's mother. It brought Jaxon a joy he had always been searching for. He had always wanted a family. He had just believed it was way too far out of reach. Durant had made him truly fear letting anyone close to him. He ruined so many potential relationships because of his lycanthropy. Lilybelle had been driven away--Oriel, too. The list went on and on.

But now he had a family. It wasn't traditional. He did not live under the same room as his son, but he had a beautiful son--and he was comfortable and at ease around the boy's mother. Perfection might have been missed since they weren't in a house with a picket fence all together, but it was still really dang good. 

The werewolf was being really careful not to mess that up. He had been honest with Affy about what he was... and he hadn't slept with her. He had wanted to. He was Jaxon Cole. He had always been about sex--and there was clearly chemistry with them. They might have been drunk the night they conceived their son, but there had been other times that less drink was involved. They were attractive people...and Affy was so nice and bright. She had been through so much, but she still had sunshine in her smile.  

He gave a nod about putting the boy into his bed. "You just say the wurd, Mama, and I'll carry 'im on in 'ere." He patted the other side beside him. "Come on and sit down a minute. You been workin' too hard." He threw his arm around her when she took the seat next to him, giving her a little squeeze. She was good to him and good to his kid. He needed to do something to show her some appreciation. But what? ...Maybe a house. His boy deserved a yard. 

"I ain't too sure about all that now," the man drawled, shaking his head at Affy. Things were going well with Contessa, but that did not mean he was out shopping for an engagement ring. Marriage still seemed a little too much to hope for. The political climate was changing so much, who knew when wolves would be getting persecuted again. 

He gasped in mock horror when she talked about another seeker keeping up with him. "Now that just ain't true. Nobody, in or out of commission, can keep up with me, darlin'. I'm fast as they come." He made puppy dog eyes at her. "You gone and hurt my feelin's now. Talkin' 'bout somebody givin' me a run for money." The brunet shook his head, bouncing the soft, voluminous curls around that match his son's. "I'm wounded now, Af. Ye hurt me. Real bad like." He was playing it up, that dimple was peaking though. Because he couldn't keep his grin away for too long. Merlin, he was just a shameless flirt. He could not even help it. It was who he was.

Easter Peeps

slimey yet satisfying

When she was young her family had never been much on holidays other than the big ones, but Easter was never anything that she had growing up, but she wanted that for her son. Affy wanted Renny to have everything that he had ever wanted in this world and a sense of normality was the first thing, a true and real home where he felt loved was the second and the third would always be traditions. Things that he could pass down to his children and his children's children. Things that he could look back fondly on with her. Like making treacle tarts, or having pancakes on Sunday mornings and dancing through the kitchen when he couldn't sleep.

She wanted the life that her parents should have given him. So she loved him more, she held him close and gave him more than she should, because if nothing else, her son would feel loved. He would know that his mother did everything that she could to give him the world. Because he deserved nothing less. Having his father in his life was something that she did not expect to ever happen, nor did she expect him to be Jaxon bloody Cole! He was a Quidditch god and known for his sexual proclivities. Not that she had any room to say shit about that, she had not exactly been a saint since Renny was born. But to have this man have fathered her child made her feel some kind of warm inside.

He was a brilliant father and everything that she wanted for their boy. He was already so much like Jaxon, so tall and so handsome. He would be able to pick her up before too much longer if he continued things the way that he was. "You can put him down in bed any time you are ready to, you just don't look like you are all that ready to move just yet, and the food isn't even read yet." She said teasing him softly before winking. She leaned into him and smiled as he spoke to her before laughing. She could not help but to tease him, it was one of the ways that she showed other people that she cared, but it was also fun to just banter with the wolf.

She grinned when he flirted with her and she shook her head and roll her eyes before messing in his hair. "Aw, the poor baby. Here, let me kiss it and make it better." She said before planting a soft kiss to his lips and pulled away a moment later before looking at him. "Is that better? Or perhaps I should try again?"
