Tenjamin

## Magus Diaetam

### Hallway

{{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= Now that he had a job at the Ministry, and money was coming in, Benjamin had decided apartment hunting was a good idea. Staying in Hogsmeade, while nice, provided a longer commute than he wanted. He stopped in the hallway, skimming a list of available apartments.|time=03:32, April 1, 2014 (UTC) }}

## Benjamin's House

{{Teal|05:14, May 31, 2015 (UTC)|Teal woke herself from a dream where she was falling. She just began to kick a leg and jolt herself awake, when she turned curiously observing her unfamiliar sleeping arrangement. She smiled seeing a sleeping Benjamin next to her and she carefully rolled over being ever so gentle as tried to go back to sleep.}}
{{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= He rose in the morning before Teal and went to the kitchen to make scrambled eggs, his head pounding.|time=05:02, May 31, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Teal|~~~~~|She consider what a few months meant in his mind. "I hope so." She would patiently wait long as she had to for a glimpse of his face, even from a distance.}}

## El Rincon del Diablo

{{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= He hoped Teal would join him here, though he was wondering a bit if he wasn't playing with fire by asking her to lunch. But the tabloids could stay out of his business. It was just lunch.|time=03:21, June 2, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Teal|07:04, June 3, 2015 (UTC)|"Early days." She stared at him as though that were a long time ago. "I have worked as a waitress recently, in different countries no less. Times have changed. I do not think you are familiar with the common people anymore Mister Flaherty." She grinned playfully.}}
{{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= "I am the Head of my Department, but I am truly grateful for the position, and Draco's trust," he said sincerely. "I do not forget where I came from, and what I went through to achieve my position." A smirk crossed his face. "Did I mention at some point the other night that I was in the running for Minister? Draco won, obviously. But I was the other option presented to the Wizarding World."|time=07:06, June 3, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Teal|18:38, June 4, 2015 (UTC)|"How did they come to choose you as a potential Minister? Were you not able to decline the offer to run the wizarding world?"}} {{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= He shrugged. "It would have been a huge step up. It wasn't the position I had dreamed for myself, but they asked me if I would run, and who am I to say no? They obviously asked me because they thought I could do it."

OOC: I ran him because otherwise it was just Draco in the running. There weren't a lot of choices. :P|time=18:40, June 4, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Teal|18:46, June 4, 2015 (UTC)|"I knew you would say that." She smiled shaking her head. "To be honest, I am surprised you did not work the word honor in there somewhere. As far as I am concerned being Minister is the final step. Within the Ministry there is no position of more importance. After having been so influential where does one go from there?"

OOC: Being responsible for everyone is not fun. Who like things that are not fun? :D}} {{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= He chuckled. "Fair point. Probably an advising position, if there was one. Estella also serves on the Wizengamont."|time=18:48, June 4, 2015 (UTC)}}

## Benjamin's House

{{Teal|03:15, June 8, 2015 (UTC)|"I already told you I would." She nodded. "I will see you late Be- I mean. Me." She laughed to herself opening and closing the door behind her making her way ever so nervously.}}

## St. Mungo's

{{Hope Finch|Hope= She had been told by Charity to expect a patient shortly, and so she was sitting in the waiting room for her.|time=03:17, June 8, 2015 (UTC)}}

## Benjamin's House

### Weekend at Benji's

{{Teal|01:03, June 13, 2015 (UTC)|She smiled leaning in to kiss him back.}}

### Officially Tenjamin, again

{{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= He walked in the door with food he'd ordered to go from The Leaky Cauldron. He hadn't felt like cooking, and he wasn't about to make Teal cook anything. "Teal?" he called as he walked in the house.|time=21:54, June 13, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Teal|00:21, June 14, 2015 (UTC)|That was the trick. Her eyes closed one last time, and she smiled feeling the weight of Benjamin's arm around her as she snuggled closer to him. "I love you." She murmured before her breathing became rhythmic, and she fell asleep.}}

## St. Mungo's

{{Teal|05:31, June 15, 2015 (UTC)|She shook her arm free of his grip then grabbed his hand with her own giving him a gentle squeeze. "I love you too."}}

## Benjamin's House

{{Teal|22:10, June 24, 2015 (UTC)|She shook her head. "No. Little one is still complete appropriate for another few weeks, I think. Why? Did you have any names that you like the sound of?"}} {{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= He chuckled. "No. None of the parenting books really say... when to start the conversation. So I figured sooner would be better than later."

OOC: Feel like playing in the sand?|time=22:12, June 24, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Teal|01:29, June 25, 2015 (UTC)|She bit her lip smiling and giggling again. "I love you, ''more''."}}

### Benjamin's Return

{{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= Following his mission, which he probably pushed longer than he'd needed to, he walked through the door of his home.|time=15:53, July 7, 2015 (UTC)}}

### Conrad Justin

{{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= He was sitting in the bedroom, on his bed, looking through one of the parenting books, and there was a baby name book open beside him.|time=03:45, July 13, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Teal|16:27, July 13, 2015 (UTC)|"Something... that starts with a 'P'?" It had never crossed her mind. She and Benjamin both shared the same middle initial, it seemed logical, it seemed appropriate.}} {{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= He thought about that. "Like giving him my middle name?"

OOC: If we come up with something we like better than CJ in the midst of this conversation, I'm cool with changing it. :)|time=16:29, July 13, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Teal|16:35, July 13, 2015 (UTC)|"We don't have to give him your middle name. Not unless you want him to have it." She shifted, sitting up very carefully, holding her belly and adjusting the squirming little one so as to make him, and in doing so herself, more comfortable.

OOC: CK. SPOILERS! I love CJ. Always. If we come up with another name they are having another kid. :P}} {{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= He nodded slowly. "I'm not sure I'd want to give him my name either," he said. "It... it should be his own name."|time=16:37, July 13, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Teal|06:04, July 18, 2015 (UTC)|She smiled closing her eyes as he kissed her forehead. "We love you too."}}

## St Mungo's

{{Hope Finch|Hope= It had been a few hours since she'd checked on Teal, who'd given birth earlier that morning. She walked in. "How is everyone doing?"|time=21:55, August 2, 2015 (UTC)~}}
{{Rie|22:08, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|CJ=He stirred at the sound of his father's voice. Swiping at the air, and yawning as he struggled to open his eyes.}}
{{Teal|22:22, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|She waited for Hope to leave before saying anything else. "''He is absolutely perfect.''" She lightly stroked Conrad's tiny baby forehead.}}
{{Teal|22:51, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|She smiled watching. "Do not let him scare you. You are not hurting him, Benjamin. Just hold him. He will be just fine." She nodded. "I promise."}}
{{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= He nodded, looking back at his son. He tried bouncing up and down a little-- he'd seen people do that before with babies...|time=23:42, August 2, 2015 (UTC)}}
{{Rie|23:56, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|CJ=He gurgled happily, blowing little bubbles off his tongue.}}
{{Rie|02:12, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|CJ=He kicked his legs, his tiny hands still balled into little fists.}}
{{Rie|03:40, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|CJ=He cooed. His little arms moving, and his little legs trying to kick.}}
{{Rie|04:10, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|CJ=He tried to keep his eyes open, and after a hard fought battle, he lost. His eyes stayed closed, and his little chest heaved with every steady, sleepy, breath.}}

## Benjamin's House

### Sleepy Everyone

{{Teal|17:04, August 15, 2015 (UTC)|"It was a joke, Flaherty. I hope you still remember what those are, even without your victory sleep." She looked up at him before laying her head on his chest again, trying to fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.}}

### Baby Room

{{Benjamin Flaherty|Benjamin= He was in the baby room, having just gotten Conrad to finally go to sleep.|time=04:48, September 8, 2015 (UTC)~}}
{{Teal|16:54, September 23, 2015 (UTC)|She scooped up her little baby boy in her arms, rocking him gently, humming softly trying to soothe him.}}
{{Rie|17:04, September 23, 2015 (UTC)|CJ=He tried to look, he recognized that voice, and reached out for him.}}
{{Rie|17:14, September 23, 2015 (UTC)|CJ=He smiled, and cooed trying to reach for his father's hand.}}
{{Rie|17:19, September 23, 2015 (UTC)|CJ=He tried to pull, and tug on his father's finger. He wanted to put them in his mouth.}}
{{Rie|14:26, October 5, 2015 (UTC)|CJ=He looked up at his father one eye closing then the other.}}
{{Teal|14:26, October 5, 2015 (UTC)|"I think he just wanted some attention." She smiled watching Conrad struggle to keep his eyes open.}}
