Adrian meets Vanja. warnings: implied incest. notes: a continuation of Valentin meets Vanja.
Valya: *walks up the stairs to the first floor, holding the baby girl tightly in his arms. Nuzzles her gently as he mentally runs through what he'll say to Ade*
Ade: *in his room drawing diagrams over attack plans for the chasers*
Valya: *stops outside Ade's door and takes a deep breath, his heart threatening to burst right through his ribs. Looks down at the baby girl in his arms, smiling widely as she looks back up at him with her brown eyes. Kisses his forehead and knocks on Ade's door*
Ade: *doesn't look up as he touches his wand to the diagram, making it move, as he calls out* Come in!
Valya: *slowly opens the door and steps inside, closing it behind him. Wraps the blanket a bit tighter around the baby to hide her a bit from view. His voice quiet and slightly dry* Papa...
Ade: *smiles at the sound of his son's voice and looks up* Hi Valya, I missed you. *sees the bundle in his arms and frowns slightly, without a single guess what it is* what have you got there?
Valya: *smiles a bit, not moving closer* Uhm... why don't you sit down, Papa?
Ade: *raises both eyebrows* But Valya... I'm already sitting. Are you alright?
Valya: Oh.... that's true. *laughs a bit shakily* Uhm... I-I have... something to tell you. *swallows thickly*
Ade: *now beginning to look nervous, worried something's wrong, but remains sitting as Valya asked him to* Yeah? Come over here and tell me. *pats his knee, wanting Valya to come sit down*
Valya: *bites his lip and moves a bit closer* I... It's... *sighs at himself and then just pulls a bit of the blanket away to reveal the now half-sleeping baby in his arms*
Ade: *suspecting Val has bought a puppy, or present or something, freezes at the sight of the baby, his eyes going wide* Th-that's a... baby...
Valya: *swallows and nods* y-yeah... she's... *hesitates, realizing what he's about to say for the first time ever. Whispers* She's mine, Papa. *watches Ade closely for his reaction, his heart pounding wildly in his chest*
Ade: *still wide-eyed, staring at the baby, as he slowly stands up and walks close, looking down at her for a while, then looks at Val* Yours??
Valya: *nods slowly* yeah... I *sighs* I never told you... *looks over at the bed* Can we... sit down?
Ade: *nods, then curls an arm around Valya and leads him to the bed, sitting down next to him, looking from the baby to Val* Girl?
Valya: *settles on the bed, slowly rocking the baby back and forth without realizing it. Nods* yeah... *looks at Ade* It was... almost a year ago. I had just bought the shop and I went out for a drink to celebrate a bit with myself. *makes a face* I... I got a bit too drunk and then this girl comes up to me and starts hitting on me. *looks down at the floor* I've... always wanted to know what it felt like... you know, with a girl. So I took her to the shop and... *shudders a bit*
Ade: *listens intently, his eyes still moving from his son to the baby, then nods, his voice oddly colourless as if he's holding back all feelings at once* So you fucked her. And... the girl here is the result then. Yeah? Are you... sure she's yours?
Valya: *feels a knot forming in his stomach as he hears the tone of Ade's voice, fearing that Ade is now furious with him. Nods, voice dry* I... I'm fairly sure. She... *looks down at the baby* ...she looks like me.
Ade: *looks at Valya as he speaks, then down at the baby girl. Slowly reaches out a finger to caress her cheek gently, then tenses when she opens her eyes and looks at him, grabbing hold of his finger. Just looks at her for a while, letting her hold his finger, then swallows with difficulty and mumbles shakily* She does... look like you.
Valya: *watches Adrian, releasing a small soft gasp as the baby girl grabs his finger. Looks into Ade's eyes. Voice almost a whisper* yeah, but... she has your eyes, Papa. *smiles slightly at him*
Ade: *can't take his eyes away from her, then smiles slightly* Yeah? *then looks at Valya, curls his free arm around him and kisses his temple* *hoarse* We'll use the same potion we used for you, so we'll know for certain she's yours.
Valya: *lets out a long, relieved sigh and leans against Ade, closing his eyes* Yes, but.... even if she isn't I still want to keep her. *looks up at him* She'd have to be put in an orphanage if I let her go.
Ade: *squeezes him slightly* You mean the little bitch gave her up? What exactly happened today?
Valya: *nods* I... I was just at the shop, sitting in the backroom to do some paperwork when I heard someone enter the shop. I went out there a few minutes after and found a basket. *looks down at the baby* She was in it... along with a note.
Ade: *frowns* And the note said..?
Valya: something like "She's yours. Take her if you want."
Ade: *grumbles* What a little cunt. *looks determined* Then we *really* need to know whether she's really your blood. If we can prove it it'll be that much easier to take steps to ensure the cunt can't turn up later and demand her back.
Valya: *nods* yeah, I... I suppose you're right. *looks up at him* And if she is... mine?
Ade: *his determined frown softens into a smile, then he leans down to kiss Valya tenderly* *soft* Well, then she's yours, isn't she. And our family will have grown.
Valya: *smiles slightly and kisses back* Yeah... *lets out a small laugh* I'll... I'll be a... *father*. *looks at Ade, a very slight smirk curling on his lips* And you'll be a grandfather. And Rab... *can't help but grin* ...great-grandfather.
Ade: *gets a big wide-eyed* Grandfather.... I'm not even 40 yet. *shudders*
Valya: *smiles* exactly... you'll be cool young Grandpapa. You're quite lucky, actually.
Ade: *grins, feeling slightly lightheaded, then exhales deeply and looks at Valya again* Ohh? Why lucky?
Valya: *smirks a bit* well, you won't be one of those old, dry and grumpy grandfathers. You'll be young, fresh and grumpy. *grins*
Ade: *laughs* Cheeky little bastard. I hope she will be better mannered than you. *smirks, eyes glittering teasingly*
Valya: *grins and strokes over the girl's head, looking down at her**soft* of course she will. She'll be... perfect. She *is* perfect.
Ade: *looks at him, a warm smile spreading over his face* *soft* You already love her. You'll be a great father.
Valya: *looks up at Ade, chewing his lip* You think so? What if I make mistakes? What if I'll be a terrible father?
Ade: *smiles* You love her, that's the most important thing. I *do* know that much. As for what to do... well... Ro was there for the first couple of years of Thai's life so he should remember some thing at least.
Valya: *nods, still chewing his lip. Then sighs and looks at his father again* Will you help me? Help me... raising her? I want to do it with you, Papa.
Ade: *looks a little surprised, then smiles and nods* She's my granddaughter, of course I'd love to help. *shudders a little* granddaughter... I still feel too young to be a granddad...
Valya: *smiles and kisses him softly* How do you think I feel? *grins* I'm not even 22 yet.
Ade: Mmmm.. *returns the kiss, then strokes down his back again, smiles* I think you'll do just fine. And... *eyes go wide* Ohh... how old is she? Maybe we'll need a wet-nurse for her?? You know... milk.
Valya: Ohh.. I didn't even think of that. *blushes a bit* well, the notes said she was born three months ago.
Ade: *nods* Okay... then she'll need milk. I think. How old are... no, I'm pretty sure she'll need milk. So we need a woman who has had her own child recently. Where to find her....
Valya: *sighs and looks down at the baby* I have no idea... does she actually *need* milk from a woman?
Ade: It's the best for her. We could probably buy some from some woman who has more milk than her baby can drink. *looks determined and gets up, then crosses to his desk and picks up some parchment to write an owl, before turning to Valya again* Ohh.. we could simply firecall St Mungos. They would know.
Valya: *looks a bit lost at all the words and just nods* r-right. Yes.
Ade: *smiles, then goes back to Valya and caresses his cheek**soft* Papa can do anything. Don't worry. *smiles, and then crosses the room to the fireplace where he throws in some Floo powder and crouches down in front of it, calling out* St Mungos!
Valya: *smiles up at him* Yes, Papa. *then watches him while gently rocking the girl again*
Ade: *explains everything to a Healer through the Floo, who in turn demands to examine the baby to see how old she is and check whether she's alright* *turns to Val* The healer wants to see her. Are you alright with going to St Mungos with her?
Valya: *nods and gets up* Yeah, I want to know she's healthy. *walks over to the fireplace with the child, wrapping the blanket around her so she won't be cold*
Ade: *smiles* Good, I'll go with you. *sticks his head into the green flames again and tells the Healer they're coming through. She nods and moves out of the Floo* *gets up* I'll go first, so just look out for me and I'll catch you both when you're coming through.
Valya: *nods, looking a bit nervous now* You think she'll be alright?
Ade: *soft* Yes, you just need to hold her tight. You could always apparate with her if you prefer?
Valya: *smiles* No, it's okay. I'll just hold on to her.
Ade: *smiles and strokes his hair* Good. I'll see you in a minute then. *puts on his cloak, then enters the Floo and vanishes in a whirl of green flames*
Valya: *watches Ade go, then takes a deep breath and looks down at his daughter* You ready? *kisses her forehead and steps into the green flames and is sucked away*
Ade: *arrives at St Mungos and waits by the Floo to help Val when he arrives*
Valya: *sees the arrival hall of St. Mungo's coming closer and, holding his baby tight, reaches out with his free hand*
Ade: *catches his arm and pulls Valya into a hug, quickly releasing him out of fear he'll crush the baby* You alright?
Valya: *clings to Ade, panting softly. Looks up at him* Yeah, we're fine. *smiles*
…some hours later…
Valya: *steps out of the fireplace with the baby girl in his arms, then steps aside to make room for Adrian to come through*
Ade: *comes through the Floo, immediately looking round for Valya and the baby, calming once he sees them, then dusts himself off* *smiles* Well, she's healthy, that's good news. *soft* And she *is* yours.
Valya: *smiles widely and looks down at the baby girl in his arms* Yeah... she's mine. *sits down on the bed and begins to rock her gently in his arms. Looks up at Ade* Papa?
Ade: *watches them, a warm smile on his face, as he tries to comprehend what's happened* Yes, my dear boy?
Valya: *smiles and pats the spot next to him* Come sit with us.
Ade: *sits next to Valya and curls an arm around his shoulders, mumbling* I can't believe I'm a grandfather..
Valya: Hmm... *leans his head against Ade's shoulder* I hope you'll like it.
Ade: *smiles, sighing softly, then kisses Valya's forehead and looks at the baby* I think I will enjoy it very much. *chuckles* She needs a name.
Valya: Mmhh.. *snuggles a bit against Ade* I already know what I'll call her.
Ade: *smiles* Yeah? Tell me.
Valya: *smiles up at him* Vanja.
Ade: *repeats the name a few times, as if he's tasting it, then nods* Yes, Vanja is a good name. I like that.
Valya: Mmmm...good. *kisses Ade's cheek, then looks down at Vanja* you think she's hungry?
Ade: *smiles at the kiss, then nods* Sounds likely, she didn't seem keen on drinking when the healer tried, but I think that could have been because of all the fuss of the examination. Let's try. *squeezes Val's shoulder, then gets up and grabs the bag they brought from St Mungos, pulling out a bottle, kept cool by a charm. Aiming his wand at it he heats it up, then checks it like the Healer showed them, before handing it to Valya*
Valya: *takes the bottle and swallows slightly* I... *chews his lip* C-can't you do it, Papa?
Ade: *eyes go a bit wide* B-but.. I've never tried it either... *takes a deep breath, then nods* Okay. *lifts Vanja into his own arms, then takes the bottle and goes to sit on the couch, getting comfortable. Then looks nervously down at the little girl in his arms who looks back at him, frowning and whimpering a little. Smiles at her, then offers her the bottle, brushing the nipple against her lips. She takes it readily and seems to munch on it for a while before getting the hang of it and starts feeding*
Valya: *settles besides Ade, watching intently. Then gasps softly as Vanja starts to suckle* Oh my god... *covers his mouth, swallows thickly* She's... look, she's doing it perfectly. *smiles happily at Ade and kisses his cheek* And you too, Papa.
Ade: *cant take his eyes off Vanja, just nods at Val's words, not trusting his own voice, then smiles at him, before letting his eyes return to Vanja*
Valya: *curls an arm around Ade and leans his head against his shoulder, watching Vanja feed. Whispers* She's so beautiful... *sniffs a bit*
Ade: *whispers* Yes... she is. Look at her little fingers grabbing the bottle. *sighs softly, then turns his head to kiss Valya's forehead*
Valya: *smiles at the kiss* Do you think she'll be okay? Growing up here? With us?
Ade: Of course she will. *smiles* There'll always be someone here to take care of her. The others will melt when they see her. We may have to find a woman *somewhere* to she won't grow up around us men only.
Valya: *curls around Ade. Mumbles* I think I know one.
Ade: *smiles and takes the empty bottle from Vanja* Good. Anyone I know? *lifts the baby onto his shoulder and pats her back lightly*
Valya: Well, you've probably never met her, but... do you remember Mackenzie? From school?
Ade: *frowns a bit as he tries to remember* Ahh... yeah, Lovegood, right? *as soon as Vanja has burped he takes her back down and rocks her gently, then smiles at Valya* Think she likes kids?
Valya: Hmmm.... *strokes gently over Vanja's head* I don't know, but she's the only woman I know. Except for Mother, of course. *makes a face*
Ade: *eyes get a bit hard* Yeah, Sarah is... *nostrils flare* Mackenzie is a better bet.
Valya: *snickers and kisses his cheek* You're so sweet when you get angry, Papa. *smirks a bit* And... yummy.
Ade: *smirks* Turns you on, hmm? Naughty boy.
Valya: *blushes a bit* Well, I so rarely get to see you angry... but... yeah, it does. *smirks*
Ade: *grins* Then you should never come to watch when the team practices. You'd have to wank half the time.
Valya: tsk tsk, language, Papa. *smirks and nods towards Vanja in Ade's arms*
Ade: *grins and looks down at the baby whose eyes are only half open, sated and tired* Sorry, Vanja. I'll moderate my language around you. Don't want your first word to be a dirty one.
Valya: *grins* exactly. Should be "Papa" *smiles and kisses Ade's cheek* Want to tuck her in?
Ade: *smiles* Yes, it should. *nods and slowly gets up* Where to put her? We could transfigure one of the armchairs into a crib until we can buy a real one. Here or your room?
Valya: *smiles and nods* yeah, that would do. *takes Ade's hand* Let's put her in my room.
Ade: *smiles and squeezes his hand* Yes. *lets Valya lead the way, then grins* I feel like a blo... like a woman holding her.
Valya: *snickers* You don't look like one, trust me. *squeezes his hand* And I'm very thankful for that.
Ade: Good! *grins* Don't wanna look like one either. *smirks* Are you now..
Valya: Mhmmm... *smirks and kisses his hand, then pausing before an armchair next to his bed. Draws his wand an transfigures it into a crib*
Ade: *grins* Kissing my hand and everything. God.. now I *do* feel like a woman. *places Vanja in the crib, gently stroking her cheek when she whimpers a bit at leaving the warm embrace*
Valya: *grins, then leans down to kiss his daughter's forehead* There, baby... You need sleep and so do Papa and Grandpapa. *strokes gently over her hair, smiling at her*
Ade: *smiles**soft* You look beautiful together. *watches as Vanja makes a small noise and reaches up to touch her dad's face. Then, as if the touch has reassured her she puts her thumb in her mouth and closes her eyes*
Valya: *smiles widely and kisses Vanja's forehead again before getting up, gesturing to Ade to follow him back to his bedroom*
Ade: *sets up a monitoring charm that will alert them should she wake up, then follows back to his bedroom* When shall we tell the others?
Valya: *settles on the bed* No... not now. I... it would be a bit too much for me.
Ade: *nods* I can imagine. It's already... huge. *settles on the bed next to him* Come here. *smiles and pulls him close, cuddling him*
Valya: *smiles and snuggles close up against Adrian. Sighs deeply, whispers* I love you, Papa. And... I want Vanja to be... our child, not just mine.
Ade: *strokes slowly down his back, kisses his forehead, then nuzzles him gently* I love you too, my sweet son. And I'd like that too. *smiles, then grins* Just one thing though. I think I'll prefer Granddad to Grandpapa.
Valya: *smiles up at him*Oh? Why?
Ade: *grins* I like being called papa, Grandpapa just sounds... no. Granddad sounds better.
Valya: *nods, smiling* Okay. Granddad it is. *kisses Ade's cheek*
Ade: *smiles and kisses Val, then chuckles* What shall we call Rab then? What's the Russian for great-grandfather?
Valya: *snickers* It's прадед. Do you think he'll like that?
Ade: No idea. But I definitely think you should bring Vanja with you when you tell them. One look at her... *smiles* She'll have them as her slaves.
Valya: *smiles* yeah... she already has me that's for sure. *kisses Ade's lips softly, stroking over his cheek* Mmm...
Ade: *returns the kiss, smiles* Same here. She just... *sighs* Beautiful. Makes me wish I had had you from the beginning.
Valya: *smiles* she is. *grins at him* But Papa... you were 15. Don't you think you wouldn't have been scared shiteless knowing you had a child?
Ade: *grins* There you go getting all logical. Yeah, I likely would have been. I was most definitely *not* ready to know that.
Valya: *grins* sorry... *then snuggles closer, closing his eyes. Whispers* I'm knackered. Will you shag me tomorrow when we wake up? *smirks slightly* I'll be needing it.
Ade: *tightens his grip on him, then uses a few charms to undress them and get them under the blankets* *kisses him tenderly, smiles* Sleep, my dear boy. Your papa and daughter will be here when you wake up.
Valya: Mmmm... *curls tightly around Ade, sighing pleased at the feeling of his father's warm skin against his own* yes.... Love you, sweet Papa. I love you so much.
Ade: *smiles, gently stroking his back* I love you too. My dear boy, love you so much.
Valya: *smiles widely and closes his eyes, then soon drifts off, feeling utterly happy*
Ade: *watches him for a while, a small happy smile curling his lips, then finally drifts off with his son in his arms*
