A reunion for the ages.

[Harmony Amelia Deveraux]

Harmony hated staying home alone. She hated the sleepness nights filled with worrying about Averie and Jeraud; she hated sleeping alone in general. And with carrying two rambuncious young ones that loved to kick, this only made things worse. Blake Ryder paid her a visit every now and then, and even though it was nice to have somebody to talk to, his constant complaining about not having Valeria Hewitt around bugged the living hell out of her. Atleast he knew that the person he loved was coming home. Atleast he wasn't carrying around two kids in his womb. Atleast he didn't go through a million different emotions in the course of ten minutes.

Though Harmony was sad and lonely, the thought of being able to hold her babies within the next three months made things seem a bit better. She was excited to be able to call herself a mother, even if the whole thing was completely unexpected. She wanted to hold Desdemona and Ethan so badly, but most of all, she wanted Jeraud there for the duration of the experience. She sprawled herself out on the couch of her home and stared at her wedding picture against the wall, wondering where the time had gone. It was nearing the couple's one year anniversary, and that thought only made her miss her Jer-bear even more. Harmony turned away from the picture and glanced down at her still-growing tummy, wondering just what she would do with herself until Jeraud came home.

“Okay, just a little off the sides.”

The barber nodded to Jeraud Deveraux‘s scruffy reflection in the mirror as he began to trim the dark locks into a more reasonable style. God…never will I not cut my hair for two months! Jer thought with a frown. He hadn‘t cut his hair since before he left for the desert with Averie, who by the way, was a horrible companion since she too was pregnant, but that wasn‘t the point. The only one on his mind was Harmony, and his children. “ Done sir!” The barber exclaimed with a flourish.

“Keep the change!” Jer exclaimed as he tossed the money on the seat and rushed out the door in a shower of bell sounds. Being in London was annoying. Sometimes he wished he had taken the Gamekeepers job instead of Blake. Then he‘d be closer to his wife, and not have to worry himself sick. He rounded a corner and stepped into a dark alley where, hopefully, no one would see him apparate. With a POP he vanished from London.

Annnd now Jeraud Deveraux was walking up the drive to his and Harmony‘s lovely abode. He ran a hand through his short, nice hair, and rubbed his scruffles. “God I need to shave.” He muttered as he opened the door and walked into the living room. “Darling I have returned!” He said, a big radiant smile on his lips.

Her eyes stayed on her stomach, running the palms of her hands in soft, slow circles around it; trying to get as close to her children as she could. She wondered how they were doing in there, and who would be like who. Would Desdemona be loud and full of energy like her mother? Would Ethan be a sly gentleman like his father? These thoughts made her want her kids even more so she would be able to know. Harmony never really thought she would be as interested in her pregnancy, but it was a whole new experience for her, this whole 'motherhood' thing.

Harmony nearly rolled off of the couch in shock as she heard the door swing open, the only thing making her keep her balance was the thought of how bad she would feel if she hurt her kids. Her head swung toward the door, and she nearly toppled over herself trying to reach her lovely husband. Having the extra weight of two kids can really do a number on a woman's speed. "I missed you, I missed you, I missed you!" She repeated loudly as she embraced Jeraud, trying to keep the tears welling up in her eyes at bay. "I'm so glad you're home!"

.Jer’s eyes lit up when he saw Harmony. “Harm, Darling, you look….amazing! Not that you didn’t before, but pregnancy just…makes you radiant.” He muttered as he pressed his lips to hers. “God I missed you more than anything else in the world. I couldn’t wait to get back.” He said as he rested his chin on her hair. “But at least I’ll have an adventure story to tell our kids right?” He asked with a chuckle.

He wrapped his arms around her and led her back over to the couch. “NOW let’s recap. Tell me everything…..and I’ll do the same. Kay?” He asked, with a grin.

"You're such a liar." She replied, wearing a thankful grin. Harmony didn't know what she would have done without him, and now that he was back, she wondered how she managed to stay sane without having Jeraud around for that long. "But you were rather convincing, I must admit." She squeaked a tad when Jer kissed her, and then quickly realized that this was perhaps one of the greatest surprises as of late. Harmony smiled wider as Jeraud pulled her to the couch, and inhaled deeply as she prepared herself to gush about her beautiful babies. So what if she hasn't seen them yet? If they looked anything like Jeraud, they would be the most stunning things out there.

"I'm sure they'll be proud of their daddy." Harmony cooed, her voice filled with delight before she started again. "There hasn't been much going on lately, other than the fact that they've grown a little and," Harmony gasped loudly as one of the children suddenly decided that it was a good idea to start slamming their foot against their mother's tummy, "one of them likes to kick. A lot." She had a feeling that it was the girl doing this, because with Harmony's luck, the girl will be most like her.

“Would I lie to you Harm?” He asked, smiling as he kissed her forehead. How had he lived without her? Hell…..he didn’t know. Jer wrapped his arm around Harm’s shoulders and tucked her under his arm. “Have you gotten an ultrasound?” He asked, glancing at her stomach. She had told him that they were having twins, and he was still in a little bit of shock. “I still can’t believe it….” He muttered.

Jeraud chuckled and kissed her cheek playfully. “Well. They should be proud of their aunt Averie too….She knows how to handle herself in a duel…” He muttered, already regretting the mentioning of that incident. “Uhh…never mind.” He stated before hearing Harm’s gasp. “WHAT? Are you okay? Oh god…” he muttered, over reacting like he was used to now. “Oh….haha….well they’re supposed to do that right?” he asked as he laid a hand on his wife’s belly.
