3 months ter………

  A bit over 3 months had passed since Marcus and Rita began staying with their daughter and her husband.

  Draco had gotteo their presen the house, but he wasn’t really a fan of Rita, who kept making fun of him.

  He was now 3 months away from being one year old, which wasn’t anything special.

  He was still little and couldn’t do much except move around urict watbsp;

  Rita and Marever o him out of their sight as Chise couldn’t look after him anymore due to her advanced pregnanbsp;

  Her belly looked so big, like it was about to burst; the physi had specuted multiple children. The hey couldn’t really tell.

  When the news of multiple children came, it was a joyous occasion for the household, but after knowing of the possible plications that could occur with such a pregnancy, the happiness somewhat died down.

  With the help of Marcus and Rita, Mark mao hire the best wet nurses and physi they could afford.

  He wanted his children to survive along with his wife safely.

  ……………………………………………………….

  Time ticked by quickly as the due date was finally upon them.

  On this very day, the house was especially rowdy.

  Everyone was moviically around the house in preparation for the birth except two people.

  “Gs, your turn,” Draco said. He had begun speaking not too long ago.

  He couldn’t use loences, just enough to pass as a 2-year-old.

  Everyone was surprised at first, but that didn’t st long.

  They didn’t even know his race, and he had dispyed his transformation ability, so they were somewhat expeg him to have other abilities.

  The only other ges were his scales being a bit harder, his hrowing longer, and his body strength increasing.

  It wasn’t a massive increase, but he was strohan those his age.

  Being able to somewhat walk and talk at 10 months old was just chalked up as the children of his race matured a bit quicker.

  “Hmm, you’re weirdly good at this,” Marcus replied, nodding his head as he scratched his beard while thinking.

  They were pying a game of checkers sino one hem.

  They tried to help but got chased off by Rose, Rita, and the wet nurses.

  “I am not good, you’re just really bad at this,” Draco replied.

  “Ha ha ha, is that how it is?” Marcus ughed.

  Tap! Tap! Tap!

  “Mark, sit down, you’re distrag me,” Marcus yelled. Mark had been pag bad forth in the living room restlessly.

  “Sorry, I am just nervous,” Mark replied.

  “Just take a deep breath and rex. You panig isn’t going to help anything,” Marcus said.

  “Hmm,” Draodded in agreement.

  “See, even your son agrees,” Marcus added.

  “Sigh, I will try,” Mark replied, a bit embarrassed that he was the only one needlessly w.

  Knock! Knobsp;

  “Are you expeg anyone?” Marcus asked as he heard a kno the door.

  “No,” Mark replied, getting up from his chair, he went to ahe door. Upon opening the door, a huge surprise greeted him.

  “Mom, Dad,” Mark called out in disbelief. They hadn’t replied to his letter once since he sent them 4 months ago, so he wasn’t expeg them to e.

  “Mark, is that really you? You look so thin,” Anita, his mother, said while caressing his face with both her hands.

  She had a smile on her face that wasn’t a smile which sent shivers down Mark’s spiunning him in pbsp;

  “Why aren’t you smiling or saying anything? Aren’t you happy to see me?” Anita asked, her hands still on his face but grasping more firmly.

  “Ahem, aren’t you going to invite us in?” a buffed trope man said. This was his father named John.

  “Sorry, mama, dad, please e in,” Mark invited, relieved that his father saved him.

  “Marcus,” John said upon seeing Marcus and greeted him with a nod.

  “John,” Marcus replied, greeting back by nodding. They had met before not long after their children eloped.

  “This must be the boy you mentioned in your letters,” Anita questioned.

  “Yes, this is my son, Draco. Draco, e say hi to grandma, I mean my mama,” Mark said.

  “Hi,” Draco briefly introduced.

  “Draco, that is not a proper introdu,” Mark scolded.

  “What are asking such a small cute boy to do?” Anita scolded Mark as she picked up Draco from his chair.

  ‘Well, he did just ask to say just say Hi,’ Draco thought.

  “Don’t let his cute face trick you. He’s quite a smart d despite only being almost a year old,” Marcus said.

  “Hmm, he looks simir,” John muttered while staring intensely at Drabsp;

  ‘Why is he staring at me like that, it feels rather unfortable,’ Draco thought, averting his gaze away from John.

  Anita noticed this and acted right away.

  Smabsp;

  “Stop, you will scare the boy,” Anita scolded John, smag his head with her hand.

  “Shhh, it’s ok now. I scared the ugly old man away,” Anita said while trying to fort Drabsp;

  “You have it tough, huh?” Marcus whispered to John.

  “Sigh, it’s been like that since Mark left home,” John whispered back looking exhausted.

  “By the way, Mark, where is your wife? Why isn’t she here to greet us?” Anita asked.

  “Ah, she is about to give birth,” Mark hesitantly replied. He had been trying to make himself scarce to avoid his mother’s wrath.

  “You silly boy, why didn’t you say anything sooner?” Anita scolded Mark again.

  ‘Wow, she has scolded almost everyone and it hasn’t even been 10 minutes since she arrived. I should probably stay on her good side,’ Draco thought.

  “John, hold yrandson. I will go see my daughter-in-w now,” Anita announced, handing Draco to John.

  “Mark, lead the way,” Anita instructed.

  “Yes, mama. This way,” Mark obliged, leading his mother to Chise.

  “y?” Marcus offered John; he wao use this opportunity to void his game with Drabsp;

  Draco didn’t mind since he was bad at it anyway.

  “Sure,” John replied, taking a seat aing Dra his p.

  It had been an exhausting trip with his wife getting here, so he o unwind.

  Anita was angry with Mark because he hadn’t sent any word to them once since he ran away and got married.

  John didn’t mind it as Mark was already a full-grown man and could make his own decisions, but Anita thought differently.

  Mark was her only child, and she felt like he excluded her from what was supposed to be one of the most importas in his life.

  Soon Draco grew tired of watg two old men that were bad at checkers py, so he fell asleep.

  Marcus pced him in his room where Cir was currently sleeping. She had been asleep since Rose brought her over.

  Time trickled by some more, and the evening soon arrived.

  The house of the Bck family was different from usual as it had just weled 6 new members.
