Evie sat on the bench in the park pushing Charlie's stroller back and forth slowly. She hummed softly to him and looked up to watch Andre help Miriam down the slide. The little girl was a little over a year old and was very good at walking already. She excelled in everything she did. She smiled as the little girl tottered over to the bench and reached her arms out to be picked up. Evie helped the girl up on the bench and allowed her granddaughter to rest her head on her lap "You tired Miri?" she asked
"Tiward" Miri said sticking her thump in her mouth.
"Mommy, look!" Andre yelled swinging really high on the swing before jumping off and landing feet away from the swing. "Wasn't that cool?" he asked with a grin
"Very cool. Be careful though" Evie demanded watching him run off towards the slide. She laughed and shook her head. It was a beautiful day and she was very happy for once.

Ben who had been staying in the other side of the manor was walking to the park with their dog Severus while Guthrie was taking Vlad to the vet where he saw Andre jumping off the swing and landing with the agility of a gymnast. He smiled as he was carried a picnic basket for the children, he saw little Miri walking and he was surprised at how well she was doing despite being a year old. He loved seeing this vision of Evie with the children. He placed the basket down on the bench when Evie wasn't looking and changed into his wolf form and placed himself at her feet while Severus ran to Andre.

Evie looked down at her feet. She knew it was Ben. She could smell him. "Well lookie here. There's a hideous dog graveling at my feet" she said raising her eyebrow. "He'll never be adopted with a face like that. He'll be a stray until he finally dies. I think we should just put the pathetic thing to sleep Miri" she joked.
Miriam giggled and reached over to pull on Ben's fur.
Andre played with Severus before running over to his mom and dad. "Daddy!" he yelled patting his father's head "What'd you bring me to eat? Did you bring cookies?"

Ben shook his wolf head at not being able to fool his wife and kids for an instant, he changed back and sat beside Evie seeing Miriam clapping in happiness. "I brought some things for a picnic but I want you to set up the blanket and I might tell you that I brought those cookies you love...Opps." He turned to Evie and kissed her on the lips knowing that they had been fighting lately wanted to end it because he hated when she was angry at him and thought it better to just be cool about things rather than dwell on them.

Evie smiled at Miriam who was now sitting up and grinning at Ben. "Well I guess Miri wants to keep you so we won't take you to the pound" she teased her husband "Dre why don't you take Miri over to that tree in the corner and set up the blanket for the picnic" she suggested
Andre nodded "Alright. Come on Severus" he called before taking Miri's hand and helping her over to the tree while Severus picked up the blanket with his mouth and carried it over for Andre.
Evie looked back at Ben "You make it hard to stay mad at you and I hate you for that" she complained leaning over and kissing him softly. "I'm sorry I've been so difficult to live with lately"

Ben smiled as he saw Miri clap and Andre was happy to see his parents together, after they left his heart sung at Evie telling him that she can't stay mad at him. "Well, I don't think you're difficult to deal with its just that we butt heads alot. I don't remember us butting heads ever after sex though."

"Sure we have. Remember that one time we met and ran off to Iceland. We got into a huge argument after our round of field sex. We went our separate ways after that. You ended up in a coma and I left town to have Andre" Evie recalled "I don't want to go our separate ways again. I want to be here...with you and the kids"

"I want you here with me and the kids." Ben said wrapping his arm around Evie and held her close as he saw little Charlie was sleeping. "He really sleeps through the day doesn't he?"

Evie was relieved to hear that he wanted her around. Not many people had ever really liked her being around them so it was big change to have someone who enjoyed being with her. "He's completely nocturnal. He'll grow out of it. Did Andre sleep during the day like this? Emily barely ever slept. She was up and ready to go at all hours of the day and the night" she recalled leaning against Ben and smiling down at Charlie.
"Mom! Dad! I set up the blanket" Andre called hiding the cookie behind his back so his mother wouldn't see that he had broke into the sweets before he had eaten his meal.

"Andre was at first but I was there but I think he did to make sure I was there." Ben answered placing his finger inside Charlie's hand thinking it was beautiful to see his son. He kissed Evie's forehead and looked over at Andre he could tell that he was hiding a cookie as he used to when do it with his Grandma and Uncle Kingsley. "Andre Damien, what did I tell you about stealing?" He asked then realized that Andre would say what he was actually told which was 'Don't Get Caught'.

"Charlie knows I'm not leaving him so I guess he feels comfortable enough to sleep in the day because he can sense that I'm watching him" Evie replied getting to her feet "Stealing? What did Andre do?" she asked Ben
Andre blushed "I didn't steal it. It was already mine" he told his dad "Mom said you have to share your cookies or else you'll get fat" he argued

"What? You think I'll get fat because I like cookies?" Ben asked wanting to steer the conversation away from the stealing aspect. He looked at her with a confused and annoyed look, which was hard for him to maintain since he wanted to laugh so much. "Really? I'm fat? Is that what you think of me, Mrs. Harper?"

"I didn't say you were fat. I simply said you have the potential to be fat with the great big appetite. You eat up all your dinner, go back for seconds sometimes, then you eat any desert you can get your hands on" Evie replied "You're lucky you work out as much as you do or you'd weigh 1,000 pounds by now. And I know it's a man thing. Men gotta eat or whatever. I just use you as example for Andre so I can convince him to share with Miri"
"I'm sharing with Miri" Andre added quickly tearing the cookie in half and handing it to Miri who started sucking on the edge of it.

"Point taken, Evelyn." Ben said as he stood and pushed the stroller over to the blanket and began tickling Andre while Miriam placed herself on his head. He was happy that she was able to walk in the sunlight knowing she wouldn't be a full vampire until she reached her 8th year. He saw Andre and thought that this little boy was going to be just like him but he had to teach him what not to do and spend as much time with him as possible and he'll pass it on with Charlie. "I got you now, Andre." He said in a mock villain's voice. "No one will escape the tickler!"

Evie laughed as she watched Ben play with Andre. The kids adored him and she felt completely secure with the fact that if anything ever happened to her that Ben would know how to look after the children. She heard Charlie coo softly and she looked down to see that he was awake and smiling a toothless little grin up at her. She picked him up and kissed his forehead "You woke up just in time to see your daddy put some horrible tickle torture on your big brother" she told him
Andre squealed and squirmed "Stop, stop, stop" he begged in between his laughter "I won't steal anymore cookies tickler. I promise!" he said giggling "You win"
