Eli smiled. He was reminded of the day Violet was born, it felt like it had been so long ago. He felt like he missed so much of his kids' lives thanks to quidditch practices, games, and traveling around for all that crap.

Eli chewed on his own lip. He felt tears building up in his eyes; happy tears, proud tears, and slightly guilty tears.

"You're lying." Meredith accused. "What's wrong?" She asked, walking over. She looked down at their daughter, who was still happily gumming her dad's finger, then back at him.

Meredith smiled and kissed him "Honey, the boys are happy, they love that you're a quidditch player, they think you're a super hero." She shook her head. "You shouldn't feel bad at all."

Eli kissed her back, listening to her words. He still felt doubtful; he didn't know how to fix his son's booboo. His other son wouldn't listen to him.

"Besides, give it a few years, they'll love you even more and hate me because I tell them what to do." She smiled. Violet reached out for her daddy's finger again, starting to whine.
