Logan had been stressed as it was. His wife thought she was fat. He was here. He was going to be a father. He wasn't sure where to turn or what to do. The first night at Hogwarts was recently. He didn't know what to do. Logan was late for lunch because he had flooed home. It hadn't been pretty. Natalia had been asleep again. He'd cuddled up and taken her to their bed before resting. He then took a deep breath as he sat in his chair in the Great Hall. He then ran hands through his hair and kicked part of his chair and relaxed a bit.

Wyatt was still really worried about his wife and everything, but he really didn’t want to worry anyone and have them ask questions so he was playing it off like everything was fine at home. He was at work, as he had been a lot lately, he had to get everything ready for classes. It was lunch time and wyatt was never one to miss lunch he headed down and took his seat, noting the empty seat next to him. Did Logan normally sit there? He shrugged it off and picked up his drink, figuring Logan was probably doing something. Sure enough after a few minutes Logan came into the room and sat down. "Get lost?" Wyatt asked him jokingly.

Logan laughed a bit as he sat down and heard Wyatt's words. He then took a deep breath as he spoke, "No. I was flooing Talia. Hard to not know where I am going in a school I grew up in." He nudged the man that he had thought had become his friend. He grinned a bit and saw the stress Wyatt seemed to be under. He gave a smile and then spoke, "You know, I have a stash of sleeping potions if you need one." Logan made sure he whispered it just incase Wyatt wanted whatever his problems were under wraps.

Wyatt smiled. "It's actually pretty easy, I still get lost around here." He took another drink. "Oh yeah? How is she?" He asked, he considered Logan to be a friend, and Natalia. Though he wasn't really terribly close with them. He smiled at the younger male and shrugged. "Yeah I have some too. I try to avoid using them. I can see myself addicted to them really fast." He said. He didn't know if Ria had told Colby about what was going on, and no doubt Colby would tell Natalia who would tell Logan, however it wasn't really proper lunch conversation. He reached over for a sandwich. "It's not really sleeping I'm having issues with anyway." It's true, he was tired and wanted to sleep but forced himself to stay up and watch over Ria, as well as reading up about the cancer.

Logan smiled a bit as he loaded his plate with food. He wanted to try to be happy despite the lack of sleep and the lack of needs being full filled. He wanted to be home. He was debating more and more if his choice in coming here was the wrong one. Logan grinned goofily as he spoke about Natalia, "She is good. She's worried though and she's not sleeping enough. It is pretty obvious on her face. She thanks she's fat and no matter how beautiful I tell her she is - she thinks she looks like a baby whale. I don't understand it. She's gorgeous and she's brimming to the edge with joy and this glow....I just don't get it."
Logan laughed a bit nervously as he spoke, "They can be addicting if you aren't careful, but I am trying to get as much rest before the baby comes." Logan took a gentle breath and then he ran a hand over his neck and leaned back in his chair as he spoke, "Want to talk about it later?" Logan knew that lunch wasn't good place for conversation.

Wyatt took a bite and chewed slowly as he listened to Logan talk about his wife and all that. He swallowed the mouthful and smiled at him. "That's just part of the fun. The whole 'body image problem' thing." He shrugged. "Are you sure it's that she's not sleeping and not that she's tired? I was reading a lot about it when Ria first got pregnant and I guess exhaustion is one of the symptoms." He said. "It'll be worth it in the end and Natalia will get over the body issues bit once she's had the baby. I guess it matters less or something." He smiled.
Wyatt nodded, he understood that. He and Ria had tried to raise Naomi and still work so he'd gone to class many a time, half asleep, after a night of the baby crying and freaking out. He just didnt' like sleeping potions in general. "Yeah... It'd be best to save it, it's not something I want to be common knowledge."

Logan thought about his question as he ate the food in front of him without really looking at what he was eating. He then turned and spoke, "I suppose it could be that. I suppose I should also always learn to find time to read more about it all. I haven't been reading much. Just learning as we go." Logan shrugged his shoulders. He wondered if that made him a bad father. He wanted to give her everything she deserved and maybe to do that he had to take a break from her some. Logan pondered the idea and shrugged not knowing what was the right thing to do. He grinned as he replied, 'Everyone gets too busy to think about the weight change. She is beauty in my eyes no matter how she appears. I do not know what she sees now."
Logan worried as Wyatt spoke with such seriousness. He looked to him and spoke, "A drink after work today? Just enough to speak before we both return to our wives?"

Wyatt shrugged. "Yeah, and whenever she looks back at any pictures of her, she'll probably go on about how huge she was for a while but eventually they get over it." He smiled. "it's just women being... insane." He took another bite and picked up his drink. "The hardest part is being away from the baby so much here." He had dealt with it with Camilla and the twins. "But even that you get use to." He looked at the younger man. He remembered teaching him about fifteen years ago. He was a really great student. He picked up another sandwich and bit into it. "Don't try charming the mirrors though, I did that and... just yeah, it was a huge mistake."
He simply nodded when Logan asked about a drink after work. Had it been a different situation he'd have just jumped all over it, but now... he didn't know how to say it, he didnt know how to tell someone, anyone that his wife had cancer.

Logan shrugged a bit as he spoke about how Natalia would react to the pictures later. When he thought about it they didn't even take many pictures during her pregnancy. He would have to change that. Logan nodded as he looked to him and spoke, "I know that it is hard already. The baby kicks at Natalia every time I come home or speak. I can't imagine what she will do when she can cry, walk, crawl, or anything." Logan shook a bit as he looked to Wyatt.....something was troubling him. Logan took a deep breath as he looked to Wyatt and spoke, "What happened with the mirrors?" Logan felt the silence and he ran a hand over his back and then spoke, "We don't gotta go out...can be here in my office."

Wyatt smiled. "Mums are just hardwired. It'll be hard at first, really hard. Honestly I don't think I've ever seen Ria as frazzled as she was the first couple of Weeks we had Naomi but she got use to it. With Camilla it was easier, but hard with the twins." He frowned a bit. However her smiled again when he asked about the mirrors. "The spell when haywire. I tried to charm them to make her look thin, at least in the mirror and they made her... too thin. So it just made her mad." Wyatt chuckled. "Yeah, your office would be better, but I can't stay long." he needed to get home, they were getting everything they could settled before the school year started.

Logan smiled as he spoke, "I know, and I think that Natalia is going to be a great Mum. She has all the qualities my mum had when I was little I remember thinking she was Merlin's wife and my dad just stole her away." Wyatt's frown made Logan worry. He smiled as he spoke, "Well, at least you tried. I jsut let Natalia do what she likes. I thought about turning our mirrors into gateways like the floo network so she didn't have to get down on her knees to floo me. I haven't though for fear it would backfire." Logan nodded and ate the meal in silence. He then got up ad went to elave and spoke, "See you after the day is over." Once ti was Logan boiled a pot of water and looked over hsi frazzled office.

Wyatt smiled. "I imagine she would be." He nodded. "Yeah I dont' see that working terribly well but if you're really worried about that, what about hand held mirrors that are connected? Those aren't hard to make and as long as it's portible and she keeps it with her then you'll kind immedietly when she goes into labor... it was just a though." He shrugged. He had done it for Ria when she was pregant with Camille. Wyatt nodded as he left. He finished eating and went to his office to try and get things in some sort of order. When the day was over Wyatt made his way to Logan's office, knocking on the door.

Logan jumped up form hsi seat at the knock and madee his way over to the door. He smiled as he opened it and ran a hand through his hair. He then shoved a hand in his pocket as he spoke, "Hey, I just threw the water on the boil. It should be done now." Just then Logan heard the pot boil. He smiled a bit as he pulled the water off and filled the cups. He then spoke, "The rest if up to you. I have sugar and such." He nodded his head and then took a sip of his as he spoke, "Soo...."
