Adrian was part of her life. Alicia knew that. She also knew that he was an important part of her life, that he was part of her children’s lives, and that he loved not just her, but Isla and Liam as well. That, of course, was good. No, it was better than good; it was amazing, but… They had never had that talk about his role. Was he a father figure to them? In a way, at least he was a male rolemodel, but even if he was ready to have the twins in his life, didn’t mean he was ready to have the label ‘dad’ or ‘father’ attached to him. After all, this was Adrian, the man who up until early last fall hadn’t dated.

Maybe she should have waited until next year, but as it was, Isla had gotten into a fight at school yesterday, and the talk she had had with her daughter afterwards had made her think that, no… this couldn’t wait until next year. So the three of them had done as they always had on this day; gone to Daniel’s grave to light a candle and let the children tell him everything they felt the need to share with him, before going to their grandfathers with cards, drawings and whichever present they had picked for them. Yes, the fathers in the Spinnet and Fawley households were celebrated today.

After a quick stop by Sweet Nothings, the three Fawleys made their way up the stairs, until Isla and Liam could knock on Adrian’s door.

Alicia grinned at Adrian; this was life with children, more or less. Sure, as an adult you had the final say, mostly, but anything you did came back to what was best for the kids. She purred, loving the feel of his hands on her hips, and she was certain he knew exactly was doing to her. Said certainty became fact when his words made his warm breath caress against the sensitive shell of her ear. Again her hands found his, giving his fingers a loving squeeze, wanting so much to let him know that whether it was here with the children asleep on the sofa Transfigured into a bed and heavy sound proofing wards on the bedroom or back home on Sheffield Terrace, she had a whole night worth of sweets for him.

Instead, she grinned at the kids and asked “What did you get Adrian at Miss Melinda’s?”

“Coffee Claires and Salty Cupcakes,” Isla informed them and proudly showed off the coffee table, now set with plates, glasses, and napkins folded into hard squares.

Once they were seated, Alicia wished she’d had her camera with her. The look on both Adrian’s and the kids’ faces were priceless. But at least she had the memory and she had access to a Pensieve should she ever want to revisit this moment. “Mmm, this looks delicious!” she said, taking a seat on the floor across the table from the three most important people in her life.

"Coffee and salt? it's official, you're growing up too fast," Adrian joked with Isla, pinching her side lightly to make her laugh. He looked to Liam, "What's your favorite at Sweet nothings? And how did you know mine?" He asked.

They all dug in he offered the kids a walk around the neighborhood (to work off some of the sugar) but looked out to see rain. "Well, looks like that might be off, what do you think?" He looked to Alicia for wisdom.

Isla squealed with delight and made to reciprocate Adrian’s teasing tickling. “Caramel cupcakes and JoJo Cakes,” both Isla and Liam told him. Alicia kept an eye on Liam to see how he would respond to Adrian’s question, and wasn’t entirely surprised when her boy simply shrugged and reached for a salted caramel cupcake. Liam paid attention and noticed things and details that most people didn’t, so really it could have been anything from a throw-away comment to an actual statement from Adrian that had led to Liam knowing his favourites. The point was, he knew, and apparently he knew what to do with that information.

Alicia looked at Adrian, meeting his eyes and holding his gaze for a while as she considered the options. Going outside in the rain was a potential disaster waiting to happen, or at least four very wet people. On the other hand, it was a sure way of having the twins burning off loads of energy which made them more or less passing out tonight a given… and that would leave her with a lot of undisturbed time to share her sweets with Adrian tonight. “Well…” she said with a small smirk before she looked to the kids. “We have wellies and raincoats in the bag, so…”

“PUDDLE JUMPING!” they both cheered and a moment later tore out of the living room only to return a moment later with Alicia’s bag. One by one, she unshrunk the small bundles that when enlarged turned into a bag with just about anything 6-year-olds could need when going anywhere.

Looking back to Adrian she smiled at him. “Wellies and raincoat or brolly?” she asked him.
