Chapter Four, Belated Birthday Party

Morning soon dawned and with it the alarm clock ringing waking up the three occupants in the large bed, who all grumbled at being woken up at 8:30 but they had to be at The Burrow for 10:30 for Mia's birthday brunch.
"Morning Freddie. Morning André." Mia greeted, kissing both of their cheeks.
"Morning love." Fred said, wrapping his arms around her from behind and placing a kiss on her shoulder, while she snuggled with André laying her head on his shoulder.
"Bonjour ma chérie." André greeted, placing a tender kiss on her forehead. "It means good morning, my darling." He explained, upon seeing the eager and interested look in her eyes.

"What does 'I love you' mean in French?" Mia asked interestedly.
"Je t'aime." André explained.
"Merci. Je t'aime André. Je t'aime Freddie." Mia said, with a wide grin. Feeling happy she could learn new things without the crippling fear of being beaten.
"Je t'aime Mia." Fred and André said together, kissing their mate marks which started another round of love making, carried on from the night before. It would seem they were going to be late, but at the moment they didn't care, they just wanted to shower Mia with all the love that they had for.
"You can't get me pregnant again. I already am." Mia teased, laughing.
"Mm. That would be a treat." Fred said huskily, turning Mia's laughs into moans of pleasure.

They were indeed running late and after showering together and trying to avoid the temptation that was their beautiful mate, Mia. They showered before separating so they could actually get ready. Allowing Mia to have the bathroom after making sure she had everything and they had done their teeth, shaved and used their deodorants and aftershave. Once she was dry and her moisturiser was dry Mia put on her deodorant, perfume and white lace matching underwear but with a strapless bra. Next she slipped on her white jeans, a blue cold shoulder long-sleeved top, white beaded ballet shoes, a blue choker and Pearl earrings. As she was brushing her hair and clipping half of it back neatly with a Pearl clip leaving the rest down in her natural curls, her stomach rumbled loudly, causing a blush to cover cheeks. Finally she put on some blue shimmery eyeshadow, black eyeliner and black mascara, pink lipgloss and her Ladyship rings and her shadow ring.

Just in time too as the door opened to reveal André dressed in a sage coloured T-shirt, dark washout jeans and a brown belt and white converse. Fred, who stood besides André, wore a white striped T-shirt, a black jacket, dark beige jeans and white converse.
"You look absolutely gorgeous Mia." Fred proclaimed, he was always amazed by her no matter how she looked.
"You really do look gorgeous, my love." André added.
"Thank you. You both look very handsome, are we ready?" Mia asked, turning away for a moment so she could tidy up only for Dobby to pop into the bathroom.
"Dobby shall do that Mistress and Dobby will deep clean the whole house. Yous need to be going to Master Wheezes old home." Dobby said sternly, taking the towel from Mia and placing it in the basket which popped away with a snap of his fingers, most likely to the kitchen to be washed.

Dobby had been amazed when Mia showed him how to use the washing machine and was now doing the washing, he'd somehow made the wonderful smell of the detergent last longer. Although, he only agreed to use the washing machine when they were tight for time, otherwise Mia or one of the others would do it. Mia didn't want him to overwork himself.
"Thank you Dobby. When you're done. Please come to The Burrow for some brunch." Mia asked.
"Oh, Mistress is too kind to Dobby as are Masters Fred and André always asking Dobby to join them to eat. Never before has Dobby had such kind Masters and Mistress!" Dobby exclaimed, tears in his eyes.
"It's always going to be this way, Dobby even when the children join us and Mia's other mates as well." Fred swore, making Dobby beam at them.

"Thank you Master Fred. Now yous must go. Dobby shall come later." Dobby ordered. The trio grasped hands and shadowed away to The Burrow.
When they arrived outside of the gate to the entrance into the garden, Mia could see there was a lot of people here and some she didn't know which she supposed were André's family and possibly Elijah's and Chantelle's too, knowing Mrs Weasley she would have extended the invitation to them as well so Chantelle and Elijah weren't left out, but there was one person in particular that Mia was looking for.
"REMUS!!!" Mia shouted excitedly, throwing open the gate and rushing towards her Godfather and attracting everyone's attention to their arrival. Remus, who had been talking to Neville, Hagrid, James -she guessed by André's description and by his blonde hair. While Tonks spoke to Luna and another woman, Remus turned around with a large grin and his arms wide as Mia ran into his arms.

"Cub." Remus said happily, embracing her and holding her close as if she'd disappear. "Happy birthday, Cub. I've missed you."
"I've missed you too, Uncle Remus." Mia sighed happily, breathing in his familiar scent. When they pulled back Mia was pulled into a hug by Tonks, Neville, Luna and Hagrid. As she went to hold out her hand to the two she didn't know she felt someone barrel into her legs causing her to stumble a little but Hagrid's large hand steadied her as more children barrelled into her, hugging her legs tightly and making her laugh. Looking down she spotted Megan who was chanting, 'Mi Mi', over and over again but she didn't know the other children.
"Hello Megan." Mia said, crouching down to hug and kiss her niece before turning to the other children. "Hello who might you be?" She asked kindly.

"Amy Aubert-Parker! You need to be careful young lady. As should you Chloe, Grace, Zoe and Benjamin." The blonde haired man said sternly, to the blonde haired girl who was a year older than Megan and to his three nieces and one nephew; ten year old Chloe, four year old twins Grace and Zoe, and two year old Benjamin.
"No it's okay." Mia assured, smiling at them, even as the dark haired woman chastised the nine year old, auburn haired little boy; two year old twin girls; and the seven year old little girl, even though she was her niece. "Let me guess, your Amy and these are your cousins Chloe, Grace and Zoe, and little Benjamin," She said, tickling the little girls' and the little boy's stomachs making them giggle. "Your Tony and these are your sisters Sophie and Samantha and your cousin Lucy." Mia continued, tickling the other children's stomachs.

"Mi Mi." Megan chanted, sitting down on Mia's lap as she now sat crossed legged on the floor.
"That's right Megan, Auntie Mia." Mia praised, kissing the little girl's head. "Sorry I'm being rude. I'm Mia Potter." Mia introduced, holding her hand out to the two she didn't know as the children with her joined her on the floor.
"Pleasure. I'm James Aubert, André's older brother. You've already met my daughter, and nieces and nephew." James smiled at her, shaking her hand. James was tall, but unlike André, he was only around 5"11 1/4, with a strong, athletic build, shaggy blonde hair, bright blue eyes and a strong jawline. "My mates and the rest of the family are around here... somewhere." He trailed off, looking around the large garden with a laugh.

"I'm Teegan Fojrd-Bennett, Elijah's younger sister. I'm the middle child." Teegan laughed, shaking her hand also. She was tall compared to Mia, standing at 5"8 with a slim build, dark brown hair in wavy bob to just past her jawline and dark brown eyes. She looked pretty in shorts and a strappy T-shirt. "Mine are also around here somewhere..." she trailed off, as she went to say more but a shout ran across the garden.
"AUNTIE MIAAAAA!!" Several voices shouted, making Mia laugh but the shouts were followed by the stern shouts of their parents.
"Sierra! Naomi! Nathan!" A voice Mia knew all too well; it was Jamie's voice and it ran out sharp across the garden followed by another shout.
"Look after Henry!" Another voice Mia recognised, it was Charlie's voice who had shouted, the younger twin of Chantelle, a round of sighs sounded after that proclamation.

The group standing with Mia looked over as a beautiful Asian-African girl who looked to be around seven years old, with light mocha coloured skin, bright brown eyes and bronze coloured curls bouncing behind her, was running towards her with three other children following behind her; a boy who was running besides the eldest, and another girl who was walking more sedately as she helped a little boy walk. The eldest boy seemed to be related to the eldest girl and a twin of the other girl but he and his twin were more multiracial, than the other two as they both seemed to be of Asian-Indian- British heritage. They both had light olive coloured skin, black hair and bright brown eyes like the eldest girl. The toddler, although perhaps related by the similar facial features such as eyes and smile had much darker coloured skin then the elder children.
"Auntie Mia we've missed you." The eldest proclaimed, throwing her arms around Mia's neck.

"I've missed you too, Sierra. Oh," Mia gasped dramatically, once they had all joined her and the other children. "Sierra, Naomi are you wearing the beautiful princess dresses I and Uncles Freddie and André got you for your birthdays? And Nate, are you wearing the Buzz Lightyear costume?" She asked, looking at the three of them making the children giggle. "Yes Auntie Mia. And look Henry's wearing what you got him too." Naomi said, pulling her cousin forward a little, only to apologise when Mia chastised her gently when Henry stumbled from the force of the pull.
"Mi Mi." Henry said happily, toddling over to Mia and trying to climb on to Mia's lap but Megan wouldn't let him.
"Megan we have to share." Mia scolded gently, moving her over so Henry could sit down.
"Oh! Happy Birthday Auntie Mia." Sierra added, she and her siblings joining the other children on the floor.

"Thank you sweetie. Now, these will all be your cousins now." Mia said gently, after getting nods from James and Teegan she introduced all the children to each other, then she introduced them all to Remus, Tonks, Neville, Luna and Hagrid. James and Teegan introduce themselves to the four new children and to Megan as well. After a little while the children went off to play and Mia was introduced to André's very large family, she could see André and Simone took after their father Simon with their dark colouring although André had a mix of his Sire's, Simon, and his mother's, Keegan's, green eyes and Simone had their grandfather -Simon's father- Louis', brown eyes.

She was introduced to his mother, sire and father, Wayne Garcia-Aubert, three sets of grandparents (Louis and Chloe Aubert, Archer and Sion Garcia and Lucas and Marie Allaire). Then André's younger siblings, starting with part of the triplets - Charles, and Emille, and their younger sister Emma (who were witches and a wizard), then to Simone's mates; Caden Baker (who had blonde curly hair, which was where Chloe got it from); Isaac LaViolette Grace and Zoe's sire; and Sam Ballard, Benjamin's Sire. She was next introduced to James's mates Gary (his submissive mate and Amy's mother) Josh Hutchenson, and Tyler Alvarez; and finally to Alice (who was part of the triplets but a Dragel, and was coming into her third stage of pregnancy), and her mates Rupert Anderson and Devon Barlow-Anderson.

After speaking to them for awhile she headed off to talk to George, Chantelle and Elijah, then to Chantelle's parents Helen, Conrad and Robbie; Chantelle's twin sister, Charlie, and her mates Tobias and Matthias; and their new arrivals Lauren and Harry who were fifteen months old now. And finally to Chantelle's older sister Jamie (Sierra's father), and her mates Arden (her submissive) and Sarah (her Beta, and who was half Indian on her mother's side and half Welsh on her father's, and was also Nathan and Naomi's father).

***

Once all the introductions had been made and Mia had met all of Elijah's family she was brought into a big hug by Mr and Mrs Weasley.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Mrs Weasley muttered over and over, before gathering herself and looking over Mia critically. "I'm glad to see my son and André are feeding you well, dear. André is such a nice young man." Molly gushed.
"Happy belated birthday sweetheart." Arthur said, pulling her into a hug. "Where do you live now?"
"We live by the sea and it's amazing I've never been to the sea before or even seen it, my Aunt and Uncle would never take me. But we spent my whole birthday on the beach and had a picnic on it." Mia babbled away excitedly, those closest to her froze and became angered that her own family would never do something so simple for her.

Before anything could be said three pops sounded as Winky, Dobby and Kreacher appeared beside them.
"Mistress Molly, the food and drinks are all ready and sat out on the tables." Winky said, curtsying to Molly and Arthur. Mia could see Hermione become angry and about to open her mouth only to close it when Ginny stopped her.
"Thank you Winky dear, make sure you three come join us." Molly said motherly, as Arthur directed everyone to their seats. The brunch was filled with happy chatter as everyone got along relatively well together, although Mia was sad to notice Hermione was giving clipped answers and Ron was sticking by her and being rude which angered Molly and Arthur she could tell. Fred, who had also noticed, had no doubts they'll get a right telling off when everyone leaves.

"Tonks, do you know of any way we can get the Dursley's charged?" Fred asked, taking a sip of his Butterbeer.
"I can look into it... no wait my Mum and Dad can. They run a successful Solicitors firm and are partners together, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to send the Dursley's to prison." Tonks explained.
"Is that something you want to do, Cub? It has to be your choice and there's no need to decide it now but just know if and when you do you have a whole garden full of people who love and support you." Remus said, kissing her temple.
"Thanks Moony. I'll... I'll think about it." Mia said unsurely, smiling when Chantelle took her free hand and squeezed it.
"Take all the time you want sweetheart. You know your Mum, Dad and Sirius would be so proud of you. Just like I am." Remus said, the pair of them hugging each other tightly.

It was a little quiet in the garden after that, but mainly because Molly had snapped at Ron and Hermione to knock it off and to stop upsetting Winky, Dobby and Kreacher by trying to free them when they were finally happy. That is until Chantelle stood up clearing her throat and gently pulling Mia up with her attracting everyone's attention.
"Mia and I have something to share." She stated.
"We're both pregnant and due only a month and a bit apart." They said together, the garden erupted into cheers and congratulations.
"I'm pregnant with quads and I have a bet with George and Elijah, that Mia's actually pregnant with two instead of the supposed one just like how she got Fred and André at the same time." Chantelle added, everyone quickly started taking bets while Mia just sat down again shaking her head. A smile on her lips and her mood significantly brighter.

If this was what it was like to know love, to know kindness and happiness, and to know support then Mia was thankful to whoever it was who finally allowed her that and she relished in it. After brunch, Mia had opened her table full of presents and had thanked everyone. Molly brought out a large Snitch sized cake and everyone sang her happy birthday causing Mia to blush as she blew out the candles. It really had been her best birthday yet, as she sat on the grass content to play with her large assortment of nieces and nephews with help from Neville and Luna who had joined her. She knew her children were going to know a life much better than the one she had and she was happy with that.
