Natalia knew how much Logan disliked being away from her, especially now that she was due in the near future so she had owl'd the headmaster and asked for permission to come to the school, she felt there was something wrong with just coming unannounced. It was a breech of security or something and as the daughter of the minister she felt that it was important that she not do anything like that, she just made sure that it was okay. She took a train to Hogsmeade and walked to the school when she was sure that he was teaching, avoiding the area where he taught his classes and went to his office. She had tea ready, she would have done lunch but she really wasn't in a position to move quickly, and she thought they would just have a nice time together that would put his mind to rest for a least a few hours, so he'd know that she was fine and the baby was doing fine.

Logan hated this, and he was sure that everyone around him could tell that he was strung out. He was Flooing home or at least talking to Natalia between every class while in the Hut since it was the closest fireplace to his work. His clothes were barely on and forget about matching because he was coming home every night to Natalia, and he was getting up early to come back to the school. He was doing everything he could to be with his wife as much as possible. Writing of his next book stopped completely. Logan had finished for lunch, and Natalia had told him that she was going to go out and see her mother. He argued with her, and he'd felt guilty. He was loosing his mind, and he was sure his students were thinking he was a lunatic by now.
Logan passed by the Great Hall his need for sleep over taking his need for a nap over the need for food. He threw back the door to his office, and he felt the warmth. He hadn't left the fire on, had he? He began to look around to see a fire lit and tea made. He asked cautiously, "Hello?" This was the last thing he needed today. He wondered what was going on with this and who was in his office.

Natalia thought about the note she had gotten, telling her that Logan was moments away from losing him mind. She hated that he was so worried and she didn't understand why. She managed to live about ten years by herself with no problem, okay so one problem but how was she suppose to know that leaving a pot holder that close to a burner wasn't a good idea? Now she knew and it hadn't happened since. She wished that he trusted her enough to know that if she didn't personally contact him, she'd have someone else contact him when she was in labor or if something bad happened. She was terrifed to see how he would act after the baby was born. She was half tempted to tell him that he should quit his job. She was sure that he wasn't doing that great of a job teaching if his mind was always on them and he didn't need the stress.
She heard him come in and she walked out to see him with a smile. "Hello love." She said, waddling over to him. She hadn't really thought about the possiblity of him not being happy about her being there. Sure he may have a problem with her walking from Hogsmeade to the school but it wasn't like she could apperate or fly. She smiled happily and rubbed her stomach where the baby kicked when she heard Logan's voice. Natalia chuckled and kissed him quickly. "I figured you could use some tea and a moment to relax." She indicted the set up that she had, she had a fire going, because it wasa bit chilly that day, she had a big comfy chair next to the fire as well as a table with the Tea and a book, she assumed it was the one he was reading, it had a bookmark in it.

Logan heard her voice, and he swiftly turned to look at her. He then saw her waddling and rubbing her tummy. Logan walked over, still a bit in shock as he spoke, "Tali..." He laid a hand on her belly with a smile, and he felt more comfortable. He was just so scared. So many things could go wrong with pregnancies, and he didn't want to miss anyhting when it came to the birth. He was the father. He was supposed to be there. Logan smiled a bit more as she kissed him and spoke. His grin grew and grew by the second as he spoke, "I'm glad you made it all so comforting, but you take a seat. You must be tired with the walk and all." He gave her a fake teasing grin, and then he leaned over and kissed her tummy as he spoke, "Hello, Ophelia. Daddy's here." He smiled as she kicked and then he kissed the spot and looked up to Natalia, "Sorry." He lead her to a chair and let her get comfortable as he brought another over and then sat fown and took a drink from his cup she'd made.

Natalia shook her head. "I'm fine Logan." She assured him. "I slept in, I took a break in between getting dressed and going to the train station. I haven't done any work whatsoever today." She promised. "I wanted to come see you, let you know that both the baby and I are fine, she's still in there." She smiled when Ophelia kicked at the sound of her dad's voice. "And I wanted to tell you that I have my brother coming over tomorrow to move my stuff down to the main floor so that I don't have to walk all the way up to my office everyday." She added. She figured that had probably been on his mind. She had put her office upstairs so she would be out of the way and have no distractions but getting up the stairs was a bit of a chore and getting to be a bit too much for her so she got Elijah to come over and help the stuff out of a room downstairs and he was going to move everything from upstairs to downstairs for her.

She said he was fine, but that didn't lessen his worry. He listened to her assure him about how she was relaxed and she was comfortable. Logan grinned a bit as he spoke, "I know, and it will be okay." She smiled as she leaned over and kissed her forehead again. She talked about her brother, and then he nodded as he spoke, "I will be sure that I come home ot help once I get there." She looked so beautiful sitting there. Logan knew if he said it that she couldn't believe him. She then grinned a bit as she looked at him and spoke, "I love you." He looked to her, and he didn't even talk or look at the book on the table. Logan smiled a bit as he spoke, "This is the first time you and I have been together at Hogwarts since we were kids." He grinned a bit as he thought about this place and then he shook his head as he thought about it. This is where it all started. He was sure that his father-in-law hadn't planed that since he hired him to help tutor Natalia.

She shrugged. "Elijah's got it. He's got a while until the full moon so he's feeling pretty good." She smiled. She loved her brother, honestly she did, he was pretty useful. She made him help her move stuff around all the time before she got married and had Logan to move stuff. "Besides, he could use something to do." She added. She looked at him when he said he loved her. "I love you too." She grinned and looked out at the castle. She had been back a couple of times, just tagging along with her dad for things that he was needed for but never with Logan. "that feels like forever ago." She said, rubbing her stomach, she looked at it before speaking, "This is where your daddy and I met. Well not right here but this general area" she nodded with a small smile. She wanted to go for a walk, next time she came here for Logan and wasn't the size of a small planet, she was going to just walk around the school and remember her days as a student.

Logan nodded when she said that Elijah had it. He wanted his family to not hate him. Everyone knew that he was a worrier, it was just part of him. The whole family could see it too. He smiled as he said, "It was nice for him to agree to do it for us." He smiled a bit and then laughed a bit as he spoke, "That almost was forever ago, Natalia." He grinned a bit as he made hiss way over to Natalia, scooting his chair closer. He pulled him closer to him, wrapped his arms around her, and then he rubbed her belly as he whispered in his ear, "You are beautiful, Natalia. Have I told you how amazing you are lately?" She talked to the baby, and Logan laughed a bit as he spoke, "The Great Hall. That's where we first met..."

Natalia smiled. Actually she had kind of made Elijah do it. At the end of the day she was still his big sister and she was still pregnant so that if he didn't do it she could go to her parents and they would bring the wrath of two first time grandparents down on him. She smiled at him when he said it was almost forever ago. "Ugh i feel old now." She made a face and looked down at her stomach. Most of the people she knew had started having kids when they were young, so waiting until she was in her thirties to have her first child put her in the minority, but she was glad that she hadn't had kids sooner, first of she hadn't been married, second now she had a stable job, Logan had one but wanted another so now he were here and she was sure that she could handle it emotionally. "Actually we formall met at the three broomsticks. before that I hadn't really known who your daddy was, but mummy was kind of a spoiled monster."

She said she felt old, and Logan laughed as he spoke, "It's not a bad thing to feel old...we are still young at heart." He nipped at her neck teasingly and lovingly knowing he wasn't going to get any for awhile now. He smiled more as he kissed her neck and then he laughed gently against her skin as he spoke, "I love you both more than you know." He laughed as she corrected him and then he spoke, 'Yes, formally. Your mommy must not remember this, but when she was a sixth year, I ran into her once. It wasn't on purpose. We were both getting up form our tables in the great hall, and I ran into her. I sent all her things flying. I was shy and embarrassed. She was dating some other idiot back then." He laughed and then smiled as he nipped her ear and whispered, "Remember?"

Natalia smiled and tilted her head. It was odd, the books she read said that by this point she would be craving sex but honestly she wasn't. She figured it was probably because she saw him so little that the times they did have she wanted to spend talking, instead of in bed. She decided that later, after the baby was born and when she wasn't ripping her hair out from being so tired she'd plan something for them, but for now she was completely satisfied with just being there with him. She thought back to her sixth year. Had she run into him? She smiled a bit as she remembered. She'd been mad because she was running late and he had made her later. "I do remember that. Oh my god, how could you agree to tutor me after the way I acted?" She asked. She had been really, really angry at the time. "I can't even remember his name... I honestly can't."

When she'd tilted her head to stop him some he took a deep breath and he got the point. Sometimes, he was maler then ususal. Instead he brought his hands up, and he began to massage her shoulders as he listened to her. She spoke about it, finally remembering, and Logan laughed a bit as he spoke, "I fell in love with you. Nothing else mattered. You weren't a cupcake when I met you at Three Broomsticks either." He continued to massage her shoulders, himself in a complete relaxed state, as he spoke, "You stole my heart though. You've had it this whole time... All the years without you." Logan smiled a bit as he spoke, "I know she needs to gestate in there, but I am ready for her to be here so I can fall in love with another woman all over again." He laughed a bit as he continued, "Glad you don't remember his name, and I will always love you and even she won't be able to steal you away from me."

Natalia turned her head and kissed him, turning back when he started to massage her. "That feels nice." She said. She laughed a bit. "I gave you a very expensive necklace that first day. Not that you wanted to take it. Didn't you end up giving it to the waitress?" She asked, closing her eyes, she moved her hands to her stomach. Ophelia was turning cartwheels or something she was excited to hear Logan's voice. "Yeah well whatever his name was, if I Ever see him again I'll have to thank him. If he wasn't such an arse I never would have met you... properly anyway. And if I hadn't met you I would currently be sucking down cocktails and watching the Nannies take care of my kids." She made a face. She couldn't believe that she had once thought that was a good idea, to be a perfect pureblood mother. She knew her grandfather was a bad influance.

Her kisses were still sweet, and it made him smile when it ended. He then grinned as he spoke, "Good, I want you to feel nice, and amazing, and beautiful." Logan grinned a bit as he looked to her and then continued, "No, I didn't. I just made you think I did." Logan lifted his butt, and then he pulled out his wallet. He dug through it for a minute, then he pulled out the necklace. He held it in front of her as he spoke, "I know that it was silly to keep it because I...i know it was from him, but.." Logan flushed a bit, one hand still resting on her shoulder and the other holding the necklace as he spoke, "It was the first thing you'd ever given me. I...I couldn't get rid of it." He bit his lip, looked down slightly ashamed, and then laughed as she cotninued. He smiled a bit as he spoke, "Well, I'm glad you aren't that kind of mother. I love you the way you are."

Natalia smiled. "Trust me, you've made me feel all of those and more." She said, it was true, because of him she had managed to feel like there was something she could do with her life other than raise children, he made her feel useful and important and smart. That was difficult to do, because honestly Natalia knew that she did not have a brain for academics so she had never felt worth much while she was in school, until he came along. She smiled as he took out the necklace and showed her. She kissed him. "That's odd, but really, really sweet." She said. She took his hand and placed it on her stomach where Ophelia was kicking. She knew she never got over feeling it, except when the kick was aimed at her bladder or her ribs she could do without those, but she knew if she loved feeling it he would too. She smiled, "Yes well i'm going to make sure that that particular possiblity doesn't even occur to this little girl." She said. She knew how it was, to not have anything really expected of you and it was not relaxing as a lot of people would think.
