A Little Break
Harry sighed happily as he rested back against the settee, a cup of hot tea in his hands, and a plate of biscuits that he had made yesterday on the coffee table in front of him.
He was supposed to be wrapping presents while the kids were paying a visit to Marianna and Josiah. Instead he was taking a moment to himself, and enjoying the peace and quiet. Things had been so hectic this year, and having all of the kids underfoot every hour of every day was exhausting. He loved them dearly, he did, but he deserved this break…likely why Nasta had argued him into staying at home while he, Blaise and Draco took the kids to see Marianna. Max was unfortunately back in work.
He reached forward and snagged a biscuit, feeling all his muscles relax, as his mind cleared and absorbed the quiet. He had definitely needed this little break to himself.
His mind inevitably wandered to his children. He hadn’t had a heat period since he had conceived Lyran, seeing as their little Caronwen had been conceived in front of a fire just after he’d given birth. Harry gave a sly smile to himself. Maybe if he wore a little Santa hat and skirt his mates would be willing to have floor sex with him in front of the fire, but considering how many babies they had conceived off of a heat period that way, he was sure his mates would refuse. It would be fun to see their faces though as they warred between wanting sex and not having any more children.
Caronwen was almost two years old now, her birthday was five months away. He was feeling ready for another newborn, though he doubted his mates were considering there had been a few vasectomy jokes going around lately.
He chuckled to himself. That was never going to happen, their Dracken sides would never allow it.
Taking a nice deep drink of tea, eternally grateful that it was actually still hot, Harry felt all the tension draining from his body. He inhaled deeply, and looked around at the lovely clean living room.
It wouldn’t stay this way for longer than ten minutes, but he didn’t mind. He never minded a bit of mess when his babies were playing and having fun…the opposite of his own childhood.
It felt strange to be home with absolutely no children though. He wasn’t a fan of it personally, but a little bit of peace was actually needed to refresh his mind and body.
It was the fifteenth of December today, and Christmas was only ten days away. They had a lot to do before then, including a mountain of wrapping, which Harry really should be getting on with, but damn, he really wanted to stay here for a while longer. Just ten more minutes and then he’d get on with it.
It was just so nice to actually get a break for once.

A/N: Day six, and really, never underestimate how amazing a break can be, regardless of how short it is. A chance to drink your tea/coffee while it’s hot can do wonders. Make sure you take your own breaks, lovelies.
