Breakfast Time! (Revamp- Open)

[Deleted]

That morning, Alpin was in the back baking a specially ordered cake when he heard the series of floating bells ring, indicating the breakfast rush had come in to get their quick bite before they went to their own jobs. Fortunately, Alpin was quite used to this, and had assistants working there to help make the chaos a bit easier. Viona also helped around the bakery, but she was currently at Hogwarts. He also had a magical oven, which would remove the cake when it was done, so he wouldn't have to worry about it burning.

Alpin fixed his thick glasses, stepped out, and looked at his assistants.

"Remember to push the Cranberry Cauldrons," he said.

"But they're selling well already, Mr. Zephyr," said one of his male assistants. Alpin laughed and patted the boy on the shoulder.

"Aye they are, lad, but we must ensure they keep selling well," he then cleared his throat and moved closer. "Also push the Mushroom Tarts. They're not selling so well." The assistant chuckled and nodded as Alpin stepped over to help a customer. He and the other employees loved their kind boss and their job.

Donalda fed the animals at home and worked on cleaning up the house a bit before she headed to work herself. Making sure that All of the animals had their meals for the morning she picked up her iguana and placed him on her shoulder. The lizard was more then happy to be going to work with Donna. Rushing to Diagon Ally Donalda realized that she herself did not get anything to eat.

Opening the door to her beloved's shop she smiled. The smells of the food always made her smile, it had been awhile since she had been in the building and she was taking it all in. If only the kids were here. Stepping up to the counter she smiled. "Good morning, Welcome to Bonfire Bakery Would you like to try the Mushroom Tart today Miss?" The boy spoke to the woman and she smiled. "Aye Good morning to you too lad, I do believe today is more of a Strawberry type, and Lad could you get something for me Piccadilly, I believe me husband would now what to do." The boy smiled and nodded. "Mr. Zephyr your wife is here."

Alpin was informed his dear wife was there, and beamed as he walked out. After all those years, he still loved her as much as the day they fell in love. The Zephyrs were a strong, loving family in general. Alpin stepped over in front of the counter and kissed his wife.

"Well now, me lovely lass," he said. "What brings you to the Bonfire Bakery today? Can't get enough of the treats I bake at home?" Alpin chuckled. "Well I suppose that makes enough sense. I cannot get enough of all the wonderful things you cook."

Alpin was curious as to why Donalda was there, not that he was arguing. He hoped nothing was wrong over at the Magical Menagerie. He had heard a wee rumors that Donalda's sweet employee Vanessa was not in the best of spirits as of late. But perhaps Alpin was overly worried.

"Is everything okay?" he asked.

Donalda's eyes lit up brighter when her love walked to her. Her smile seemed bigger and everything about there love would show. Kissing him back she smiled. "You always make the best treats me love. Aie I do have something good planned for dinner. It is something new."


When she was asked what was wrong she smiled and blushed a bit at her tiny mistake she made this morning. "It seems I was a wee bit hurried and forgot to to eat some breakfast for me self. Fed the rest of the family but forgot me self. So heading to the store Piccadilly and I thought we'd stop in for the morning rush." It could be that she missed her husband aswell they were quite close and when they were apart she would still think of him.

Alpin frowned a bit when Donalda spoke of missing breakfast. Even though he helped her a bit around the house, he forgot at times how hard she worked as a shop owner, a wife, and, when Walker and Viona were at home, as a mother.

"I appreciate all you've done, me dear," he said. "But I feel you need to slow down a bit, at least long enough to eat."

He then had an idea.

"Perhaps a wee vacation is in order," he said. "Somewhere nice... when the kids return home. Some place where people can do things for you and you can just relax."

Alpin wouldn't go on about it, but he could use one too. He had been working extra hours at the bakery to prep for the Summer rush and it was beginning to take it's toll on him.

"Is there anywhere in particular that you'd like to go, love?" he asked.

Donalda smiled at her husband. She loved everything she did, without the things to keep her busy she would probably go nuts. It wasn't everyday she forgot to eat her morning meal but at times it did happen. "Aie perhaps I do. Ah me love" she ran her finger tips along his cheek. "Always looking out for me. I love you so much me dear. " Donalda loved Alpin. The two were quite the pare and dona wouldn't want it any other way.

When the man brought up vacation she nodded. "Vacation sounds wonderful. I just know the kids will be glad to hear about it." Thinking of places to go their was the Bahamas or a nice resort some place or perhaps a cruise. She was unsure. "Perhaps a family discussion about the trip? See what viona and walker want to do? How about you love do you have anything in that brilliant mind of yours?"

Alpin blushed a bit when Donalda showed her gratitude. After all their years together, Alpin could still blush around his wife. He still wondered how he became so fortunate to win the heart of the monst beautiful woman in the world.

"Always there for me beautiful queen," he said.

He then listened as she suggested that the family discuss the options for a trip abroad.

"That would be the better idea," he said. "I'm sure if we put our noggins together, we'll think up a fine place to go."

Every few years, over the summer they would travel to Scotland to see the family, but they had done so for Christmas the previous winter and Alpin knew that there was so much of the world that Walker had not seen.

"Perhaps we can visit the states?" he said. "I've read about the United States. So many places to see there."

Donalda smiled when the love of her life blushed. She always loved him and would never stop. "Aie states. Perhaps the kids would have an idea of a place they would love to see. I heard that they have really fun family places."

This was exciting the woman she loved her family and she would always look forward to the times they were home. She couldn't wait to wrap her arms around viona and walker and tell them how much she missed them. Ofcourse the family at home knew it was getting around time for the kids to come home from school so the whole bunch was just as excited as Donalda was. "I can't wait"

Walker nodded about the States and how the kids would love it.

"Aye, they would," he said. "Perhaps New York City, or even Hollywood. Maybe one of their famous theme parks. George Weasley told me about this big one supposedly ran by a fellow in a mouse costume. I didn't believe him at first, but then I saw his photos. Looks like a real zinger of a place."

Alpin smiled and kissed his wife on the cheek.

"I can't wait meself," he said. "Will be good to have the kids back. Oh, and let's not forget Viona's sweet sixteen party. She's going to get a real kick out of what we have planned. And they'll be plenty of room there for all her friends to come. I told Walker to make sure and not say a word. He's a good lad. I'm sure he can keep a secret for a wee bit longer."

The woman was excited about it, nothing made the blonde mother happier then to see her family together and happy. Though a sigh escaped the woman's lips, it wasnt a sigh of sadness but a sigh of a mother who's baby was growing up. "Aie, our baby is growing in to quite the woman. Wont be long until shes all grown up." Donnalda was so proud of her daughter, she couldn't have had a better child then her and Walker. Both were the lights of her life.

"The party is going to be a real smasher." the woman was sure that Viona's Sweet Sixteen was going to be one of the best parties of the year. It wasn't long before Piccadilly was crawling up Alpin and became nice and snug clinging to his chest. Donnalda chuckled and smiled brightly, she loved her family very much and nothing would ever change that.
