Perhaps it was the fact that Dorcas had been single for twenty-eight years of her life, or perhaps it was because her mum was a pretty good cook, but Dorcas always felt the need to return home when she'd been away for too long. Her parents had moved earlier in the year, but it didn't matter to Dorcas because even though it was a new home, one she'd never lived in, she still considered it 'home' because it was home to her parents. There wasn't a lot to do at her parents place but Dorcas didn't care. She was more than happy to lounge on the sofa with a book, calling her mum for a snack every now and then and being told to get it herself. It was home, it was cosy. It was exactly like when she'd lived with them and that was a level of comfort she could experience anywhere so long as she was with her parents.
The evenings were growing darker earlier these days, and even though she wasn't actually a parent to a child of her own, she was now a step-mother to Aurora Lestrange. Even though Aurora wasn't the brightest Unicorn in the forest, Dorcas liked the kid to the point that she may as well admit she loved her, and as such, Dorcas liked to put the kid to bed, read her a bedtime story and be there to say goodnight. Skipping dinner wasn't a big deal, Dorcas did it a lot because of work, but she always liked to try and get home for a bedtime story with Aurora. She was lame now, but tonight she'd be home for dinner and bed time.
"I'll be leaving in a bit." She called out to her mum while she laid on the sofa reading, munching a chocolate digestive. The dry crumbs went back her throat a bit and caused her to cough. She sat upright, still coughing and closed the book, though not before folding the bottom corner in so she knew where her place was for next time. Eventually she stopped coughing, her dad popping his head in to check on her and bring her a glass of milk. She drank the whole thing down in one go and took the glass and her plate to the kitchen, wiping her milk moustache with her wrist, leaving the book on the sofa. She checked her watch and then peered outside. It was still light out but within half an hour it'd be dark. It wasn't even dinner time yet. Winter was ridiculous. It got dark far too fast. Dorcas just put her dishes in the sink and brushed her top and boobs off, banishing the biscuit crumbs to the sink before she headed back to the lounge room to grab her book, almost ready to head to that ridiculously large mansion she called a stupid home.

 My promise to you always and forever
Guilt over leaving Ariel overnight for the second time this week had ensured that Dorian and his niece arrived to Grammy and Grandad’s house early so that they could all spend some time together before he left. There hadn’t been much time on Tuesday for more than a thank you and a kiss on the forehead for Ariel, and accepting a freshly baked cookie from Andre as Dorian rushed off for a last minute assignment in Bristol. Tonight, Ariel’s slumber party had been arranged not for work, but for pleasure and that only intensified the guilt he felt at leaving her. It wasn’t enough for him to cancel his date with Immy, though.
“And Grammy?” Ariel asked excitedly, bundled in her winter coat and wriggling to break free of Dorian’s hold. “Yes, Grammy Emily is here, too. Are you going to have so much fun?” Ariel was excited to see her pseudo grandparents on a weekend, and Dorian had been forced to field a barrage of questions repeatedly as the little blonde exhausted her entire vocabulary. “Yes,” she answered matter-of-factly, a wide smile on her cherub face. Dorian reached for the doorbell, but Ariel interrupted. “I do it!” Dorian shifted her in his arms so that she could ring the bell on her own without setting her down. He didn’t want her tracking snow and slosh into the Meadowes’ new home.

The doorbell rang and Dorcas' brow furrowed. As far as she was aware her parents weren't expecting company. She pulled out her wand - you could never be too cautious - and made her way through the house to the front door. She was surprised to see Dorian stood there with little Ariel in arms but she was oh so happy. "Fish-Face!" she grinned, stealing an excited Ariel from Dorian "Door-kiss!" Dorcas had to make sure that Ariel's limited vocabulary included her name when the toddler had started talking. "And what's my little Fish-Face doing here?" She asked, stepping into the house a little more so Dorian could get through, "Grammy!" The toddler shouted back, "Oh I see, here to see Grammy and granddad, huh? But what about Dorcas, eh?" Grilling the curly blonde-haired cherub, "Door-kiss!" She repeated cheerfully, "Atta girl." Dorcas approved of her response.
Dorcas looked Dorian over, as she often did when he was around. Work, her parents, his place, it didn't matter where they were, if Dorian was present then she was going to be checking him out. "Undercover?" She asked, pulling off Ariel's shoes and nodding at Dorian's outfit for the afternoon. They only time she ever saw him out of a full on grey suit was when he was going undercover or the occasional instance when he was training, Merlin that was quite the sight.

The door opened at Dorcas appeared. Dorian wasn’t surprised to see the married witch casually at her parents’ home, she acted as though she still lived there despite having a cottage of her own and a rather sizable mansion where she lived with her new family. Dorcas stole Ariel from his arms and he gave a small smile and nod, accepting the silent welcome into the home. Dorian wiped his feet on the mat before stepping inside.
Ariel wriggled as her boots were removed, no doubt excited to rub around in her socks. If permitted, Dorian was certain the child would be a nudist, but she’d learned to keep most of her clothes on most of the time. Getting dressed in the mornings was still a struggle even on the best days, and lately they had moved to only spelling the word ‘trousers’ in front of her, as hearing it would set her into a tizzy of tears and no-no-nos. Immy assured him it was a phase she would grow out of. Dorian surely hoped so, and quickly.
“No work tonight, thankfully.” He answered cryptically, not wanting the second degree from the Auror and general busy-body. He shut the door behind him, blocking out the winter chill. “What about yourself? You’re not hiding from your family already, are you?” Dorian stuffed his hands in his trouser pockets, dark eyes drifting toward the hallway wondering when Andre and Emily would appear.

Dorcas gave her little Fish-Face a kiss on the cheek and set her down on the floor, letting her run free around the house. Magic prevented her from trying to climb the stairs, the railing came away from the wall and created a little baby-barrier. Ariel seemed not to pay much attention, instead choosing to head to the lounge where she knew to find her toy box. Dorcas would have a little play with the darling in a bit, "Mum, dad!" She called, "Dor and Ariel are here." She was interested in what Dorian was up to but he attempted to change the subject, which only made her more interested in what he was up to. "I don't hide," She scoffed, "I just like to spend time with my parents." Which she figured Dorian would probably understand more than anyone given he'd lost his.
"You look dapper." She smirked as her mum came down the stairs and greeted Dorian warmly and asking how Ariel had been. Dorcas followed Ariel in to the lounge room and watched her throwing a play ball around, excited that she could throw in the direction she was aiming. It was a definite improvement from the last time Dorcas had played catch with her. Last time the toddler would pull her arm back and release the ball before throwing. It was adorable but it was cool to see she was learning new skills at a rapid rate. "Good job, kiddo." Dorcas praised. "Think you can throw it to me?" She asked, crouching down. Ariel laughed and toddled after the ball. Dorcas just watched having no idea if Ariel was interested in a game of catch or if she was just going to carry on playing independently. She decided to throw the ball at Dorcas, who missed catching it because it didn't quite reach her range. "Ah you clever kid." She said to Ariel as Dorcas fetched the ball, "How's your catching?" But Ariel just walked up to Dorcas and took the ball back, throwing it immediately at Dorcas, looking as though she was aiming for Dorcas' face, "Give me a little space!" Dorcas laughed, tickling Ariel's belly lightly, watching Ariel's curls sway around.

Being called ‘dapper’ was perhaps the most casual compliment Dorcas had ever paid to Dorian’s looks, and he nodded appreciatively. How Rodolphus put up with her enough to marry her way beyond his understanding, but then she was very much like her cousin Paris had been, and Dorian had fallen head over heels for that one. Love had serious blind spots, it seemed but so long as Dorcas was happy and her husband treated her right, Dorian wouldn’t mention it.
Emily appeared and Dorian withdrew his hands from his pockets, giving the woman a hug and a chaste kiss on the cheek. “Very well, thank you. She has been talking about you and grandad the entire way over. I am afraid you might have your hands full tonight.” Especially if Dorcas was planning on hanging around. She always riled Ariel up.

"Hello little Angel!" André greeted Ariel, sneaking in through the back door in the lounge, "Grandad!" Ariel squealed! Forgetting all about the ball and leaving it abandoned by Dorcas, "Uppy! Uppy!" she squealed, her chunky little legs only carrying her so fast. André knew exactly what she was after and he scooped her up in his arms. "Alright, alright." He chuckled, "Up in the air!" He said, lifting the toddler up fast, as though he was going to throw her but his hands never left her body, "Ariel? Ariel?!" André said, looking about. The toddler began laughing, "Who's that!?" André gasped, turning, Ariel held in his hands, up above his head, "Grandad it me!" She giggled more, "Ariel?" He asked, turning about the other way, "Is that you?!" He asked, full of surprise, "Yess!" André could feel her giggles as she wriggled from laughter, "Where are you, Ariel? Grandad can't seem to find you!" He said, looking all around, "Uppy!" Giggled Ariel, almost uncontrollably. André looked up and gasped in surprise, "What are you doing up there!?" He asked in surprise, Ariel only giggling, "Let's get you down," he said, lowering her, "Have you said hello to grammy, yet?" Ariel shook her head, "Let's go find her then," He said, walking to the front and passing Ariel over to Em, "Hello Dorian," He said, reaching his right hand forward to shake Dorian's while placing his left hand on Dorian's right shoulder and giving him a pat on the shoulder.

Em was finishing up sorting out Ariel's room. She'd rewashed her bed sheets and made sure the room was absolutely spotless for the little cherub, not that it would matter, she'd probably end up snuggling André to sleep and after they'd tucked her in to bed, she'd probably just patter on in to their room. The idea of Ariel being a handful seemed impossible. She was a perfect little darling, as far as Em and André were concerned, and besides, she was so much easier than Dorcas. It was definitely for the best that they never had more children, but they'd fostered plenty of children for various amounts of times, and were still in contact with a few. Dorcas had certainly made life interesting. "She'll be no bother," Em smiled, listening to André play with Ariel, "She has us wrapped around her finger." she chuckled lightly. Little Ariel had everyone that loved her wrapped around her finger, Dorcas in particular, which had come as a surprise to Em and André.
When André brought Ariel out, Emily took Ariel and gave her a kiss on the cheek and a snuggle, carrying her into the lounge and setting her on the floor next to the toy box. Em knelt down on the floor next to Ariel and the pair started looking for a toy to play with together.

Dorcas watched with a small smile as her dad played with Ariel. He was a good grandad and Dorcas was glad he was getting the chance to be one. She was never going to have children, she had no desire to have a family of her own. The closest she was getting was having Ariel for a niece and Aurora for a daughter. It was all distant, no real relation, and that was as much as Dorcas could give. Kids were exhausting and Dorcas could only deal with them little snippets at a time and on her own terms.
Following her dad and Ariel from the lounge, Dorcas leant against the wall of the entryway, watching Ariel get passed to grammy. Then her dad greeted Dorian in his overly friendly way. Dorian was just lucky he wasn't a blood relative or he would have been kissed on the cheek, too. Her dad didn't exactly hold back on his affections for people. "So what've you got planned for the evening?" Dorcas pried not so subtly, curious as to what Dorian would be doing tonight that didn't involve work but involved Ariel needing a sleepover.

My promise to you always and forever
It seemed the entire world was wrapped around that little girl’s finger. Anyone who’d met Ariel was almost instantly smitten with the little doll. She was so much like her mother, Julian confirmed as much and he was a much better gauge of that particular measure that Dorian could have ever been. He was forever recognizing little mannerisms River used to exhibit in their childhood and pointing them out to Dorian. It was strange how their relationship had done a complete turnaround in the last year. Having gone nearly his entire life without siblings, Dorian was finding it oddly comforting to have a brother, even if he was a bit difficult to get on with at times. They still disagreed on plenty, particularly when it came to raising Ariel, but Dorian no longer sensed a suspicious air around his brother. They were able to put aside their differences, of which there were many, and support each other whenever it was needed. Both were essentially single fathers, Julian literally whereas Dorian was more of a figurative father but single nonetheless. Well, somewhat single.
“Hi, Andre.” He shook the man’s hand with a genuine smile. "Thank you for looking after her tonight. I appreciate it." If Julian, his half-brother, had finally begun to feel like family, it was nothing to the sense of family Dorian had felt with the Meadowes. Andre was like a second father to Dorian, and Emily a second mother. He had managed a whole little family in the last several years, after being relatively alone for several years prior. He was rather happy with his life at the moment, and perhaps that was what was behind his coming out of his shell, as it were. Paris had wedged herself into Dorian’s life and he had opened up to her begrudgingly – not because he didn’t have real feelings for her but because he was afraid of getting her hurt. In the end, he had been right to be wary, and the world had only become a more terrifying place since Paris’ death, but Dorian was different now. Still there was apprehension, but he was no longer purposefully avoiding relationships as he had been before. “I am taking Immy out to a restaurant,” he answered Dorcas, his hands returning to their former place in his trouser pockets as his gaze followed Emily and Ariel.

Immy. Restaurant. Wait. Who was Immy? What kind of a name was 'Immy'? Hell, what kind of a name was Dorcas. She'd learnt not to get too critical of names, but Immy didn't ring a bell of any kind with Dorcas. "What's an Immy?" She asked, holding back a much desired smirk as her dad went off to follow her mum and Ariel, leaving Dorcas alone with Dorian. If it had been anyone else she'd been talking to, Dorcas would have assumed it was a date, but Dorian didn't date! Dorcas was beginning to think that he was asexual. He was impervious to her flawless charms. If he hadn't of dated Paris, Dorcas would have thought he was possibly gay, but then there were the lack of men to date so she'd probably just end up on asexual. Poor guy needed some serious action and Dorcas felt for certain that she was the one that would rock his world.
So given that Dorian wasn't the dating type, and given that he said he had no work tonight, Dorcas was curious as to what Dorian was up to. She was ready to get relentless in order to find out who this Immy person was, although she'd probably just be better off asking Geralina. Those two were good friends and for some reason Dorian felt comfortable confiding in her and not Dorcas, who ever would have thunk it!

Dorcas didn’t hold back enough when she asked her obnoxiously obvious ‘what is Immy?’ query. Dorian would have preferred she not asked anything at all, but then she would not have been Dorcas and as annoying as he often found her, her company was enjoyable on occasion. “She is a friend and we are going out to dinner tonight.” No doubt Dorcas would take this news and run with it, blowing it far out of proportion and making a much bigger deal than the occasion called for. So he was going on a date, was that such shocking news? Probably.

A friend. Oh, okay, so it was a person, that was definitely getting he somewhere, but just 'a friend' or a girlfriend? Was that even possible? Did Dorian secretly date? If so, how long had he been dating for and why the hell had he not asked her out!? Okay, so she was married, but why would that stop him? She was fucking irresistible, for Merlin's sake! "Oh, nice." She smiled, her head tilted just ever so slightly as she looked at Dorian. She was fairly certain she knew most of his friends so was this Immy person someone she'd just not met before or was she something more, "Hope you have a lovely evening." There, she could be mature and nice when given the chance. "Gonna take her back to yours after dinner?" So it didn't last long as she smirked and quirked her brows suggestively at Dorian, biting her lower lip just a little.

Dorian was pleasantly surprised at Dorcas’ mature response to his announcement that he was going out for the evening with a woman. He smiled and had opened his mouth to thank her when she asked if he’d be taking Immy back to his place, the insinuation being for sex. He clenched his jaw in annoyance. Without answering Dorcas’ inappropriate question, Dorian headed into the other room where Ariel was playing with her grammy and grandad.
“I best be off, then.” Squatting down to her level, Dorian kissed Ariel on the head. “You be a good girl for grammy and grandad. I will see you in the morning, love.” Ariel gave him a big hug and Dorian scooped her up, bending forward as he stood so that she hung nearly upside down. The little blonde giggled and clung to his neck for dear life. “I love you.” Dorian set her gently back onto the floor among her toys. “Love you,” Ariel replied as she returned happily to her toys and grandparents. “Thank you again, Andre, Emily. Ring me if you need. I am always available.” His niece would always come first, and should he need to cancel on Immy at the last minute or run out to care for Ariel, he was certain the woman would understand. Hopefully it wouldn’t come to that. Dorian gave Emily another kiss on the cheek and for Andre he clapped the man’s shoulder, then he turned back toward the front room, intending to pass Dorcas by without much fanfare as he left.

Dorian went in to say goodbye to her mum and dad and give a heartwarming fare well to little Ariel. Dorcas was surprised that Dorian was dating, because there was honestly no other way to interpret his walking off on her. She hadn't expected that, of all things. Not the walking off, that had been expected, but the dating was surprising. Still, it was about bloody time that Dorian jumped back on that broom. He'd been alone for far too long, even with her efforts to offer him a little intimate company. He was the most reluctant person to face intimacy that she'd ever come across. Dating was a huge step for this guy.
As Dorian walked out into the entryway, Dorcas nodded her head, "Have a good night. I look forward to hearing all the naughty little details tomorrow." She grinned before she pushed off the wall she'd been leaning against and headed into the lounge to play with Ariel, just a little, before she had to head home for Aurora.
