Cissy smiled warmly, nodding her head.
"Either way you'll get to know the kids. They need a father as much as I know you need them. But maybe you do need a break from both... See who you miss..." Cissy paused, her face lighting up.
"Here." She muttered, grabbing his hand and pulling him along. They passed the baby room again, continuing on to a small deserted black bench Cissy remembered so well. The place her and Corbin had escaped to during Bella's pregnancy.

[[Corbin]]
Cissy .. was someone Corbin trusted. Above all really, that was probably stupid in many ways. But even though she was Bella's sister she'd never been that biased against him for Gabby.
"Wow...it's been awhile." He said quietly, looking around him. And it had been. Old memories flooded him, almost smacking him in the face in a way. "wow." then he remembered Kissing her here and he felt his face burn.

Cissy let a laugh through, lowering herself onto the wide bench. "Good times." She sighed with a smile. "And bad..." Cissy thought about the hospital wing with Corbin.. and all the other times she had screamed at him about loving Bella... She regretted it now, but it had been the topic of discussion many times before. Cissy wanted more then anything for Corbin to be happy... He was a great guy, and he deserved it, not to mention him being there for her so many times.

Putting his elbows on his knees, head in hsi hands, he squeezed his head lightly before loosening his grip. "Cissy...I'm sorry I hurt your sister....and Gabby. But maybe this whole time my mind and heart weren't in the same place?" He wasn't sure what the hell that meant. He had kids with both women. Did that make him a bad person.
The hall and the bench...the kiss...the yelling and fighting. The insaneness of all they did.

Cissy sighed, turning her gaze to him, though he had his head in his hands, obviously deep in thought. "Don't be sorry. She's taken it before. Like I said Corbin, You have got to stop being sorry for everything and think of yourself for once... Its your turn. You need to do what's right for you and your kids, regardless of Bella and Gabby. That part will come..." Cissy paused to lean back on the bench, remembering their kiss... and their fights with a smile.

Rubbing his thumbs on his temple Corbin groaned. In all honesty there wasn't a kiss that stuck in his mind than the one he'd shared with Narcissa the day his daughter's were born. Was that horrible? Groaning once more he sat up and leaned back against the wall and bench backboard. "Thanks Cissy.....for everything..." He said simply, taking her hand in his and smiling. Best Friend was too simple a phrase for what he thought of her.

Cissy laughed again, softly rubbing the back of his hand with her thumb. "Don't thank me. Let's just say its what I owe you after screaming at you... all those times." She laughed, turning so both her feet rested on the bench too.
"I don't know what I would do without you, Corbin. So really, Thank you."

Shaking his head a smile crossed his lips. One of those rare genuine smiles that pretty much only his children saw lately. "No kidding Cissy....we've been through it all huh?" He asked, remembering their insane fights. How many times had he bloodied his knuckles during those? How many times had he wanted to grab her and kiss her too because of the passion in between. He shook his head quickly and blinked for a moment. He had NOT just thought that about his married ex sister in law..wow what a name. "Can't say the fights didn't save both our lives..."
"How are you and Tiberius?" He asked her. The wedding had been nice, he hoped she was happy.

"I must say they did. Our little fights turned out well, I gotta say." Cissy laughed, rubbing her stomach. She smiled when she thought of how many times she had cussed him out, never letting him cut her down without a fight.
"Don't think theirs anything we haven't been through, you know. Really..." She added with a sweet smile in his direction. A lot of her good memories included him...
"We're okay." She replied with a blank look. Her and Tibby were close yes, but.... Not filled with fiery love... passion that every girl longed for. "I don't know... Its... hard to explain."

Rubbing his thumb against her hand Corbin bobbed his head in agreemant. "Yes those fights proved...interesting." Staring at a few white scars across his knuckles he chuckled lightly. "And somewhat painful." No girl had made him do that before, just Cissy. Bella challenged him, Gabby loved him and hated him...Cissy was just...Cissy and there was nothing else he could think of to describe her.
"That's good..." He nodded once more, was he jealous? Probably, how could he not be? shaking his head again he glanced at her. "Hallmark card shit huh?" He askedh er, raising an eyebrow at the wonder if she knew why he asked.

"Indeed they did." Cissy laughed, shaking her head. They really had turned out well... But at the time, it had gotten pretty heated.
"But that was me in seventh year... Bitchy, Stubborn, and Proud." She smiled, leaning back on the bench, but still clutching his hand.
"Again, So sorry." She added, glancing to the scars and tracing them lightly with her thumb. Indeed it had gotten pretty heated. It was common for Corbin to end up bloodying his knuckles, all resulting in it being Cissy's fault.
"I suppose." Narcissa sighed, shrugging at the thought of her relationship. Its not that she wasn't happy... They were just different then most couples... A lot different. A wide grin played Cissy's lips as he mentioned a Hallmark card. That had been their thing.... A thing Cissy had been great at. Cheesy answers to problems that were meant to help... Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, either way, it brought a smile to her face.
Unable to settle on anything else, Cissy winked to Corbin with a sweet smile. Winking had also been their thing... A while back. But he would remember and get it... He had to.

Squeezing her hand back Corbin winked as well. Some jokes never got old, they were sorely missed in his opinion. Mental Note-Wink More at Cissy. Smiling her way he nodded, trying to force away any thought of their kiss so many years ago the day his daughter's were born.
"I guess we all had to grow up eventually." He shrugged, a smirk pulling at his lips, however he refrained. Somethinga bout this girl caught him off guard. Girl was the wrong word..woman....thsi woman caught him off guard everytime, kept him on his toes. That's how the Black Ssiter's [and new names] ROlled. But Bella could never do to him what Cissy did.
Staring at the scars he wiggled his eyebrows. "Scars keep memories more interesting." He informed her, it was true. Brushing a ringlet from her face he smirked at last.

Cissy pulled her legs back onto the bench, hugging her knees and squeezing Corbin's hand. Their winking game had died out a few years back... She made sure it was known now. She missed things from Hogwarts... The people... The situations... The simplicity.
"I suppose we did. Some of us more so than others... Some of us were already set by seventh year." Cissy smiled with a nod. Corbin had been one of the mature students, his wife at the time, Bella, not so much. Narcissa noticed the smile on his lips, which was more of a smirk, struggling to hide. Bluntly, she caught his gaze, and grinned, but not for a reason she could decide on. Having Corbin here was comfort... A nice feeling.
"You could say that." Cissy smiled, tracing the scars again. "Not that they weren't interesting by themselves...."

He couldn't explain how he felt with Cissy. It was always different yet the same. He could count on her to be there, to state her opinion and not be scared he'd walk, cause she knew he'd always stick around. The other girls were so terrified that he'd leave...which he did, partly for that reason. He'd given them daughters, left them....was that wrong? Probably more so than he thought at the time.
Winking once mroe he laughed quietly. "Seems some things never change." He whispered. "Are you happy Cissy?" He asked her, realizing for the first time in ten years that he was very jealous of her husband and furious that he wasn't giving her everything she deserved and more. Biting his tongue hard for a moment he winced, he shouldn't be thinking that about cissy. She was the only girl he'd ever met that he tried to pretend he didn't care, because he didn't want to hurt her, he didnt' care what others thought...just her.

Cissy smiled again, briefly glancing to the floor, pondering what was going on. Corbin was in between girls... Unable to pick the one that would finally be there for him, to treat him the way he deserved, and to take care of him like no one had been able to do. Bella was too much of a handful, even for herself. Gabby was a bit of a headcase, simple as that. But here sat Cissy.... the same girl that walked the corridors as a seventh year Slytherin, the same girl that had taken many years of emotional abuse from her own father, and the same girl that had finally evolved into a woman, not changing her identity along the way. Cissy hadn't lost who she was, thank Merlin.
"Indeed they don't." She laughed, crossing her legs. It wasn't hard to pick up on where he was going with this... Cissy quietly listened to his next question, wondering it herself. "Its not that I'm not happy, because I am... I think." She stated, puzzled with her own situation. "We got married because of a betrothel. Not because he was madly in love with me. I wonder what it would have been like without the word of my parents, and it would probably be different. I'm a generally happy person, I suppose. Work with what I have... But I could be happier. Maybe I'm just being selfish.." She finished with a soft sigh and a sweet smile.
