"Hi," Harry started as his son walked inside. "The girls are outside. Well, Ava is," he corrected, because Poppy was sniffling and teary-eyed in his arms and there were currently two spider-child hybrids sitting on his couch. Rolling his eyes, Harry looked back at his son. "That small one over there is yours." He was about to say something else, but Ilsa appeared at the door and started screaming when she saw them, again, which made Poppy start crying, also again. "Ilsa, I swear to God, I told you to stay outside." Abi was at least smart enough to start changing back the moment she saw Jasper, but Iris stayed put. Harry gave her a look and carried Poppy, while all but pushing Ilsa, out. A little while later, they'd finally got the girls settled. The girls were outside playing again like nothing happened. Save for Iris, who he sent off with his father-in-law. "They make you guys seem easy sometimes," he teased, handing Jasper one of the two drinks he was holding. Harry's gaze fell over to Ava. He watched her for a quiet moment, before saying, "You gonna tell me what's actually going on?" He turned his attention back to Jasper. "Don't say you're fine. I'm not even going to humor that."
A princess day at their granddads' was definitely a great front for not having the girls around while Gabe was packing up his things and moving out of their home. Not wanting to be there for that, Jasper spent the day in the Ministry, which wasn't even at all weird given his position. But when the time to pick up the girls came around, he sighed as he made his way to his dads' place. Knowing they were going to come back to an empty house and having to explain that to the girls was not what he was looking for but it was something that needed to be done. They could pretend Gabe was out for business only for so long. "Abigail," he gave his daughter a look when she greeted him looking like a spider monster, not even wanting to entertain her antics. Thankfully though she quickly started changing back, as if she felt her dad wasn't in the mood for jokes. Thankfully, some time later everyone finally calmed down and all of the crises were averted - except for one. Jasper didn't have to use his Legilimency ability to know what Harry was about to ask - he knew his old man enough. "Nothing's going on,' he shrugged as he took the drink and took a sip of it. "Gabe and I are divorcing. Well, I'm divorcing him, to be exact," she finally admitted and looked at his father, shaking his head. "I don't wanna hear it, Dad. The decision's final."
