What Should We Do? [Alex, Josh & Chelsey]

[Casey Sam Richards]

Casey had often wondered how his life went from being normal to... something else. Though he was still himself, the fact that he was half human half werewolf who would go furry once a month was not a normal human behaviour. Not at all. He had been, since his turning, a submissive partner to the one that bit him, his Alpha. Alex Andrews was, even if he wasn't a werwolf, Casey would still have fallen for him. The whole mate thing with Alex just made him more attached.



He was getting food ready for Chelsey and Josh who had turned into his children of sorts since Alex and he decided to live together. Casey didn't mind at all. And he was getting along great with Josh as it is. Chelsey and him were in good terms as well but Chelsey was a daddy's girl through and through. It made Alex laugh a bit, thinking that the baby girl had Alex tied up in between her baby fingers. "Alex, foods ready." he called from the dining as Josh was already waiting for the food, quietly reading a book. "Josh, you know the rules. No reading during meals." he told the boy who looked up, pouted for a bit, then sighed. He marked the page he was in before closing the book and waiting for the rest of the family to arrive for the morning meal.

Hearing his boyfriend in the other room, he stood up from his place on the couch and moved to the dinning room where Josh and Casey were, he moved and kissed Casey's cheek as he did so, and grabbed the book from Josh's hands as he moved past him. He set it up on the side table where the lamp was, not even thinking twice about the normal routine, one would think Josh would just stop trying to read at the table. "So what did cha make Case?"

Looking down at Josh, and ruffled his hand over Josh's hair, "Next time we bring books to the table, I'm hiding all of them. Like, never to be found again." Alex smiled, not really meaning it and he was sure his son was used to his dad's empty threats anyway. Even if the conversation was repetitive. Alex could already see the kid getting into Ravenclaw, how Jason ended up there was behind him sometimes. Josh was a book with legs in Alex's opinion. "I'm from a family of Ravenclaws Casey." Alex whined looked up at his boyfriend.

Looking around the room, he didn't see his daughter, he sighed, "I'll go get the youngest rugrat." Doing just that, he went to go find his youngest. Finding the toddler alone, he grabbed her by the waist and pulling her up to his neck. Setting her down on his shoulders, holding her and running into the room with her on his neck. Smiling when he arrived with Chelsey.

Josh was trying to read the book he had in his hands when he got to the dining room but knew that either his dad or Casey would tell him to keep the book off. As soon as he sat down, Casey called and said dinner was ready and reminded Josh just after that reading wasn't allowed in the dining. Just as soon as he had bookmarked the page he was on and closed the book itself, his dad came and took the book from his hands and threatened to hide all the books forever. Though Josh knew his dad wouldn't do it, the thought about his books vanishing was scary. "I'll remember next time." he said as he sighed.

Then his dad commented that his dad was from a family of Ravenclaws, Josh snickered. "Dad, Casey is a Ravenclaw too, you know. And I'm going to be in Ravenclaw too when I get to Hogwarts!" he said as he exclaimed with pride. Of course Josh would be in Ravenclaw. Where else? No other house would suit him best than Ravenclaw.

Chelsey was almost ready to put her baby down for a nap. The small toy baby girl had been very cranky today, and Chelsey was going to take good care of her so her baby wouldn’t cry anymore. She had fixed her nappy, complete with a tongue sticking halfway out of her mouth because she was focusing on being a good mummy, and she had even wrapped her up in her favorite unicorn blankie. Chelsey held the doll and patted her on the back, as she swayed back and forth with her entire body to get the baby to sleep. "Shhh, baby. It's okay."

She tucked the baby into her small, pink cradle just as Daddy came in and lifted her onto his shoulders. She felt a familiar tickle in her tummy as he brought her high up into the air and her eyes widened in glee. She couldn’t help but giggle, and she grasped onto his hair with both chubby hands. “Aaaah! Daddy, faster!”

She laughed as they got into the dining room and she smiled at Casey and Josh fleetingly, but her heart still belonged with the man who carried her. “Daddy, you’re so silly!” She smiled brightly.

[Casey Sam Richards]

Casey chuckled and patted Josh's head when he obeyed instantly. He and Josh knew that Alex wouldn't carry out his threat. But the thought alone was not something even Casey wanted to happen. Then Casey chuckled once more when Alex whined and Josh added that Casey too was from Ravenclaw and reminded Alex. "Yes, love. Josh is right as you are too. You indeed came from a family with Ravenclaws. Jason was one, the children's mother was too. I am. And Josh will surely be a Ravenclaw too. Right Josh?" he asked and chuckled.

When Alex came back with Chesley, Casey smiled at her when she did. Yes, he wasn't as close with her as he was with Josh, but Casey was trying. It couldn't be helped that Chelsey was a daddy's girl so Alex came first and foremost to her. He kissed the little girl's head and Alex's cheek. "Alright you too, tale your seats and we'll have dinner." he told them as he levitated the plate filled with food in front of everyone before he sat down with Alex by his right and Josh by his left and Chelsey in front of him.

Grilled Beef Steak Meet with Fried Potato Asparagus and Cherry Tomato (smaller serving for Chelsey of course)

[Alex Dean Andrews]

Sticking out his tongue, "How did I even happen? Chelsey is gonna be my little Slytherin then! Like her dad, so I'm not out numbered." Grinning at Casey, he pulled Chelsey off his shoulders, and into her seat, "Whoa, Merlin, this why I don't cook. Seriously babe." Alex kissed Casey's cheek, ignoring his kids for a only moment, he didn't really have this with Lynn, the big family thing, but this, this is amazing. Family dinner, Josh trying to read at the table, Chelsey making her own messes, Casey being the cook..and Alex, well, Alex could just sit back and watch the scene play out, he was pretty happy with that.

"So I was thinking, this weekend, we could take a trip down to the beach? It's warm enough now.." Alex said to Casey, but was well aware that their kids could hear him too.

[Joshua Michael Andrews]

Josh rolled his eyes at his dad and sister's antics. When his dad said that the little monster would be in Slytherin, Josh shook his head. "Nope. Chel's would definitely be in Gryffindor. Slytherin comes close as a choice but I think Gryffindor House would suit her best. When the times comes that is." Josh voiced his thoughts with a smile before the food came.

Just as his dad admitted that he didn't cook, looking at his plate, Casey had outdone himself. Again. "Papa is a better cook that you dad. Your cooking is edible at best. But papa's cooking is like a meal from a very VERY fancy restuarant." Josh said as he complimented Casey. If Chelsey could call Casey 'papa', why can't Josh right? Besides, Casey was his second father slash mother. Josh can't very call Casey 'mum' in fear of the man punshing him by gettnig wet and cleaning the plates every night for a month. Nope, Josh didn't fancy washing plates at all.

Then he began to eat and heard his dad hint about a beach and the weather being warm now. "Dad, since your not being subtle at all, does this mean Chel's and I are going to?" Josh asked with a trace of 'want' in his voice. He wanted to go to the beach too, if only to see a few creatures of both the magical and non magical world. Josh was studying about the different kinds of 'kingdoms' the waters hold.

Chelsey loved her papa. He was different from Daddy. Daddy was always her very favorite, but Papa was kind and funny and she thought of him like her daddy too. She was lucky enough to get two. She smiled when he kissed her head and made a little giggly sound when Daddy moved her off his shoulders and into her seat, and the tickly feeling went into her belly again.

But her smile faded when she looked down at the dinner Papa had made. It looked so yucky! She didn’t like meat, and she didn’t like any kind of vegetable, especially if it was green. She turned up her nose at it, wishing it was more like Daddy’s cooking. Josh said Papa cooked like a very fancy restaurant, but Chelsey didn’t like fancy restaurants. She wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! She pushed it away and perked up when her daddy mentioned the beach. Her eyes brightened, “I wanna go to the beach! Can I go too, please?!”

She got up on her knees in her chair and tugged on Daddy’s shirt so he would notice her. “Please, Daddy?”

[Casey Sam Richards]

Casey couldn't help but laugh. "That question can be placed under the category of 'Universal Secrets'. We shall never know. But seceret or not, I love that you are here." he teased and kissed Alex's cheek once more. "And just so you know, you are still outnumbered, I, Lynn, Jason, and Josh are all from Ravenclaw. Even with Chelsey, who is obvious going to be a Gryffindor, its two against four." Casey added, pointing out the small detail of how many Ravenclaws Alex had in his life. It was amusing Casey all the time.

"Why thank you Josh. I'm flattered you think I cook like those in a fancy restaurant. I'll try not to disappoint you when I cook again." he said with a chuckled. It did not escape Casey when he saw Chelsey eyed the plate before her. He sighed as he waved his hand and the contents of her plate changed into ther favorite sandwiches: peanut butter and jelly. It was worth a try to get the child to eat something else but maybe it was a bit too early still.

Casey then turned to Alex and smiled. "The beach does sound exciting. What do you want me to cook for food?" he asked as Casey began to slice a piece of his meat and forked it with a few vegetables too. Casey then turned to Josh and chuckled, "You don't honestly think that your father and I would go without you both, are you?" he teased.

[Alex Dean Andrews]

Alex was about to talk to Chelsey about eating the food Chelsey made for her, before Casey got her something else. Alex kicked Casey under the table not hard, but enough to get his boyfriend's attention, with a look, he didn't want Chelsey pushing Casey around like that. Even though Alex spoiled his little girl, he made sure she did the things she had to do, but when he looked at the new food in front of her, he shot his eyebrows up.

"Yeah, maybe this weekend? How's that sound?" Alex said talking about the beach again to Casey, it would be more around Casey's work schedule than it would be around Alex's. Alex's was random most of the time, so they couldn't base anything off of Alex's schedule. Laughing when Casey spoke to Josh, Alex turned to Chelsey, "We should probably get you a new suit then huh, Princess?" Thinking about, Alex looked over to Josh, not able to remember if Josh's suit fit him from last summer, even though he doubted it. "You too huh bud? We should probably make a trip at someone point before the weekend..." Alex said thinking out loud, then smirked at Casey, because the two always traded the kids back and forth with taking them out.

Holding out his fist to Casey, to rock-paper-scissors it, on who had to take both kids to London to go shopping for swimming suits. It was always the 'winner' on who had to take the kids, so that the kids didn't misunderstand. Kids were just stressful to take out in the big city. Chelsey especially.
