Dorcas gave a longing moan, "I wish," She said quietly, adding a sigh for good measure while Dolphus rambled on. Apparently Dorian was a pain in the arse, heaven forbid an Auror be good at his job, or mediocre because honestly, Dolphus was hardly number one awesome guy. "I'm not his babysitter, and if you can't do your job because you can't cover your tracks properly I don't see how that's my fault." Dorcas sat up on the bed, "And killing, maiming, or hurting in any way ain't an option either." She stood up and unbuttoned her jeans, pushing them down and stepping out of them. She pulled open her bedside draw and grabbed out her pyjama short, slipping them on. "Make an effort with him, taking him out for drinks or something," She suggested as she took off her top, "Maybe he'll piss you off less if you get to know him." Well probably not, Dorian was a stickler for the rules and Dolphus had zero regards for them. They were opposites but Dorcas really wasn't in this conversation and was just talking whatever shit came to mind. Dorcas unclasped her bra, pulled it down off her shoulders and pulled her pyjama shirt on.

Dorcas looked to Dorian and nodded her head. She was more than happy to look after Ariel for a bit, in fact Dorian could bugger off and she'd be more than happy to keep Ariel for the rest of the day. Or, if Dorian would like, he could have Aurora, she'd definitely be happy with that option, too. As much as Dorcas loved spending time with the kids, she also liked having time alone, getting back to being herself and not Roddy's wife or Aurora's mum or an auror, she just wanted to be Dorcas for a while, although that wasn't likely to happen anytime soon, there was way too much shit going on for anyone to be themselves these days, to add to that she was in the Order and Death Eaters. Talk about a jam packed schedule. It was a wonder she even found the time for meals. Well, she didn't really, she just sort of shoved whatever she could into her mouth when she could, nothing was ever a sit down meal while she was working, apart from Sunday's when her parents insisted she come over for Sunday lunch. Always a roast no matter what the weather, and the invitation was always extended to Dorian and Ariel, Julian and Tristan, Roddy and Aurora. Most people collected antiques, stamps, rocks or whatever, apparently her parents collected single fathers. "C'mon, Fish Face," She said, taking Ariel over to where Aurora had run off to, the opposite direction of Dorian but Dorcas didn't pay any attention to what he was up to, she just plopped Ariel down next to Aurora and focused on having a little fun with her girls.

Dorcas groaned and rolled her eyes, "I wish," She said, feeling as though that would be a better deal. Did money make everything easier? Yes, surprisingly so, however that wasn't as if Dorcas needed it, she was fine without Roddy's massive amounts of gold, "Worse than that." She said, knowing it would just be better to get on with it. "We're pregnant." It sucked. "With twins." It super sucked. But at least she wasn't the one pregnant. They had a surrogate so Dorcas' main concern of not ruining her body or missing any work wasn't something she was going to have to worry about. She could take some holidays when the babies were born and her figure would be fine, she would keep her brilliant tiger through it all. Admittedly the whole having children at the end of it all was stressful, but Dorcas was working through her frustrations at work in the training room, although no one would partner up with her but she could kick the ever living shit out of the punch bag.

Dorcas had never really known life to be simple. As a kid she was always doing as much as she could with activities while learning how to read, write, do maths and all the other normal kid stuff. Her life at Hogwarts had been packed with lessons, quidditch and pissing off about as many people as she could and Dumbledore showing an interest in her and giving her private occlumency lessons, noting dodgy there, right? Then she joined the Auror academy. She busted her arse for two years straight, only going out for Sunday roasts at her parents. She was occasionally dragged out by either Tersha of Dolphus but beyond that her social life for two years was pretty dead. Add to that she joined the Order before she even left Hogwarts and yeah, she'd never really known any peace and quiet. Things eased up a little here and there for parts of the year. She'd have time off from work, do her own thing for a little bit, travel thanks to work (not that it was all fun and games, but travel was travel in Dorcas' eyes) and then there were the times she was literally abducted by Dolphus. It was a pretty good balance in Dorcas' opinion, but then Trixy had to become the jealous psycho bitch she'd always been and burst into Dorcas' lovely little cottage and spilt her bitch juice everywhere, spoiling Dorcas' flooring. After that things began getting serious with Dolphus. She hadn't wanted that at all, but Dumbledore had encouraged it and Dorcas thought she was doing her part for the Order, and she was, she just hadn't realised what a deviant little shit Dumbledore was and he ended up convincing her that becoming a Death Eater was a stand up plan. Well she hadn't been caught yet, although it was close, so she supposed she was fine with it all, although she wasn't a fan of marriage, a marriage she had no idea how she'd been involved with. The only time at which she agreed that 'yeah, okay, marriage is fine, whatever' was at their actual wedding when asked by a priest if she took Dolphus to be her husband. Was she a fool? Oh yeah, totally, and life was all the more chaotic and hectic and confusing than it ever had been before because on top of work and Order business she now had Death Eater duties, which were entirely fucked at times, and to add to that she had become a mother to an eight year old and some surrogate she and Dolphus had picked out was pregnant with their twins and Dorcas was still expected to carry on as if everything in life was at least relatively simple. The only one that really had any idea of how bat-shit crazy her life was just so happened to be the one that helped to ensure it was nothing but chaos - Dumbledore.

Dorcas dropped her handbag by the bedroom door and made her way to the bed. She sat on the edge of it, sinking into the covers a little and kicked off her work boots as she fell back on the bed, the plush mattress feeling amazing. There was a noise from the ensuite and she just assumed it was Dolphus in there. She gave zero shits at this stage. She was exhausted and couldn't remember her last day off, even though it had only been just over a week ago for Easter so she could spend it with Aurora and Ariel. Dorcas sighed and pushed herself up on her elbows, her wand just at her fingertips, "That you, Dolph?" She called, waiting for a response. Married life was stupid. Why did they have to sign a piece of paper to agree to stay together? And why did it have to be for the rest of one of their lives? Why couldn't they just have a verbal agreement? It wasn't as if you couldn't get divorced, divorce was still a thing, right? And why would she agree to become a mother to Aurora and then just bugger off? She may have thought the kid was a borderline moron at times, but she had potential to not be a total twat, unlike her biological parents. Dorcas did wonder if she sometimes expected too much from the kid, but then she brushed it off while thinking about all the crap she was doing at Aurora's age. Aurora had a fairly heavy schedule of shitty things she had to do to be accepted by her grandparents that had all wanted a grandson, but she did it all almost fuss free. Well, sometimes fuss-free. Well okay, not fuss-free but at least it was usually violent free. She was apparently learning to 'become a lady' and Dorcas was glad she'd not have to sit through all that crap and there was no way she was going to put her kids through that when they were born. She was going to let her kids be kids and if she could have more say over Aurora, then she'd let her leave all that bullshit, too.

Thanks for the party? Dorcas very much doubted that Dorian meant that. "Don't thank me," She said, "I merely provided a venue. Julian wanted to throw you a party and my parents insisted on decorating." She shrugged, knowing Dorian's idea of a good time was with minimal people and telling him whose idea this all was would hopefully get her out of the dog house she figured she'd be in after tonight. "Just in here." She said, indicating to the door. Julian had insisted the night be family friendly so the kids had a room they could play in and the adults had a room they could play in, too. The play room for the kids was set up with an indoor jungle gym, slides and ball pits, big foam shapes to mess around with. There was an ice cream bar hidden out of sight for the time being, but once it was food time she figured the kids would love it, all five or so of them, although judging by the noise, the giggles and laughter, it was easy to think there were more children. "I'll see you back in the party room." She said, giving him a wink before she left him too it, turning a few steps after leaving, "Oh, and Immy sends her apologies, something about work coming up." Dorcas shrugged her shoulders and turned back around, disappointed that she'd not yet met Dorian's girlfriend, but she'd received a letter from her, so she supposed that was something.

He was so rigid! Everyone at the party probably knew that 1. Dorian was going to hate this and 2. That Dorian definitely hated this. But he was at least being a good sport about it, so that was something. He was even talking nicely and not all ticked off at the evening. It was going better than Dorcas thought it would. "She's playing with Aurora and the other kids in a special play room. Come on," She said, linking her arm through his and steering him down the hallway, knowing he'd want to see her first and foremost. "Happy birthday." She said, even though his birthday had been a couple of days ago now and she'd given him his gift on the day, "Ariel's had a great time. She and Aurora did some horse riding and went swimming, then she decorated you a special cupcake for later," She chuckled, "She had a decent nap this afternoon, too, so she'll probably be up until all hours." Dorcas sighed, "The joys of parenting, dude." Although those joys were not really all that joyful and Dorcas was not looking forward to going through all this stuff with kids of her own. She loved Aurora, she was all grown up and a proper kid. She loved Ariel and even though Dorcas had known her since she was a baby, she could always hand her off to her mum, dad, Geralina, or even back to Dorian, not that Dorcas ever really wanted to, Ariel was a darling, but the option was there. She wasn't going to have that option with her own crotchlings.

Dorian Michael Humbert

Oh for fuck sake. Someone farted and of course there was giggling. Dorcas rolled her eyes and sighed in exasperation. People were such twats, even the ones she didn't mind spending her evening with. She wasn't drunk enough yet to be dealing with dickheads, but she was going to make sure that changed. She didn't know all of Dorian's friends but that Leo was damned attractive and she wouldn't mind a little roll in the hay with Doc, either. Ant was a possibility of a good time and that was about it. Dorian was too stiff to be up for anything and now he was in a sort of relationship with a woman she was fairly certain was make-believe, she had backed off on the inappropriate comments. Not completely, but definitely a little.

The front door open, Ader probably letting Dorian in and showing him to the room they were all gathered in. In an instant the room light came on and all the people Dorian had allowed to get close to him jumped out and yelled "Surprise!", admittedly it was a small crowd for a surprise party, but that was why they were having it in a smaller room and not in the ballroom where their voices would just echo in the near empty room. Even with decorations there would be too much space, Dorian really kept his friends few. Dorcas grinned, having jumped out from behind a chair. "Happy birthday!" She beamed, whipping out her wand and floating a drink over to Dorian, hoping the sooner he drank up, the more relaxed he'd be with this surprise that was probably causing a small aneurysm of rage to form.
