Background

Caelan was born on a Saturday, 7 minutes before his other siblings. However, upon delivery, it was noticed that there was something wrong with him, and the healer on duty immediately took him away to perform further tests to see what was wrong. For the first two weeks after his birth that Mrs. and Mr. Brennham got to hold their son for more than just the forty minutes it took to feed him. It was then announced that he had asthma, due to receiving the least amount of nutrients, along with sickle cell anemia. From then on out, growing up Caelan had serious health issues and his inhaler was his best friend.

Despite this, his siblings loved him effortlessly. His parents treated him with the same love his siblings got, but if he was doted upon more Phil and Ellie turned a blind eye. However, because he was unable to explore the nature as much he turned towards books to get his fill of knowledge and beauty of the outsider world. It never caused bitterness or regret that he had to stay inside, and he is a cheerful happy soul. Despite his health issues not perfect, they have grown smaller to him only needing to take his inhaler occasionally and careful dietary restrictions for his meals.

The three of them grew up with Corienna and Stephan Astrid, their mother’s best friend’s twin children. Caelan was usually found with Stephan, mainly due to the fact that Corienna and Phillip would often be found running all over the place, and he could not keep up with them due to his health. As he got older, the problems became more manageable, and soon he was able to join his more outgoing siblings, even if not fully; his mother made sure that he did not overdo anything. When his younger sister was born, Caelan took on the role as eldest brother perfectly, and it was from here that he matured the most.

Receiving his acceptance letter to Hogwarts was no big surprise for him, nor was it for any of the Brennham kids; they were all displaying signs of magic since a young age, with Caelan being the earliest. It was clear that he had a lot of brains, as he took in information much quicker than his siblings; he was the first to talk and form sentences. When he was sorted into Ravenclaw, his parents were both immensely proud. Caelan is often found following Phillip and Corienna around, although he is much closer with Stephan. Moving into his first year at Hogwarts, he does not need his inhaler as often, although when particularly nervous, anxious, or excited, he gets a bit breathless and takes a puff or two to regulate breathing.

Family Background

As with most Pureblood relationships, Devin and Cassana were the result of an arrange marriage. Cassana's parents went behind her back to set her up with Devin, whom she knew from university, where they both were studying Potioneering. Unfortunately for Devin, he too had met Cassana before they were placed together by their parents, and it was hate at first sight for the both of them. Devin had grown up not believing in love whatsoever, and as such, falling in love with his wife of one year was a shocker for both parties involved.

Cassana’s feelings varied exponentially. She is a person who is very loving and caring about all she meets, but when it came to Devin she immediately hated him and was hesitant to start a friendship with him. Although their friendship was tarnished once they were engaged, and then married in a rush after her birthday her hatred didn’t just stem from their opposite personalities. It was a mixture of her parents’ manipulation and the heartbreak she was going through after breaking up with her second serious boyfriend and her only serious one besides Devin named Daniel Jameson. Following their engagement that evening she met with her boyfriend and broke it off, feeling sorrowful and full of despair. She spent the next day, her birthday, alone mourning her existence before marrying Devin for the first time.

They were married after realizing their feelings for each other in affirmation of their feelings, and Cassie has been desperately in love with her husband since and extremely happy with Devin and her four children with a successful career too.

Devin, realizing he had fallen in love with his wife, proposed a second time, finding out that she, too, had grown to love him. It was a moment that he would never forget, and it is his one weak spot. She was the one who encouraged him to pursue his true passion in life, and he quit studying to become a Seeker, much to the horror of his parents. He managed to convince them otherwise thanks to the courage his wife gave him. He worked his way from small teams to the International team for England, and has never once looked back.

"WELCOME TO THE WORLD, BABY BRENNHAM"

Caelan Daryl Brennham Tumblr_mzbt1yruyW1sf8zp8o1_r2_500

"This is so cool." Phillip trilled as they piled into the car with their Aunt Bella, her namesake and their mother's sister. "I mean how often do we get to see our baby sister be born?"

"We did it eight years ago," Caelan commented as he slid into the front seat. He hadn't much sleep, he found himself too distracted by writing to Eva; he loved talking to her the past summer since they'd met. "With Taela." On cue, there was another yawn as he sunk himself comfortably into the front seat.

"Who took you guys to the hospital when I was born?" Taela asked curiously playing with the strands of her long dark hair. After seeing an image of their mother when she was younger looking quite similar, Taela took on the face and coloring of little Cassana Rose.

"Aunt Brooke," the triplets answered in unison. They all glanced at each other and shared a laugh.

"Oddest children I've ever met," Auntie Bella noted with an awed voice as she started to pull out of the driveway. The gates opened up of the Brennham estate and they started the hour drive towards St. Mungo's.

All their clothes and whatnot were already packed for Hogwarts; their father had requested it considering at any moment their mother was due to go into labor. Although the actual due date was September 4th, their father explained that it was possible to happen early. This talk prompted a much necessary questionnaire from Taela directed at their father. The triplets sat their with mirth in their eyes as their dad answered a bulk of awkward questions ("You already told me where babies come from; they come from mommies with big tummies who have been loved very dearly by daddies. I want to know how that happened" ... "What do you mean they touch? Like a hug? Daddy you're being very discreet and you swore to never be like that to me!" ... "I have the Internet you know!") That last one made them cry with laughter.

Which attracted their mother, and that led to her laughing...

And it led to her laughing so hard her water broke.

Immediately, Devin and Cassana left for the hospital while their Aunt Bella offered to drive them once they were done packing. Taela helped her pack, Caelan and Phil got it down to fifteen minutes, playing a game specifically designed to make sure that their clothes were thrown into a trunk as messily as possible. But he didn't mind. He was ecstatic. Soon enough he'd be meeting his new baby sister.

.

Once they arrived, they were sighted with the image of their mother waving happily for like thirty seconds before wincing and grabbing at her large womb. The sight made Caelan cringe. It was beautiful, and one day he was sure he wanted one, but not within the near future. He watched Ellie settle into a chair and open up her Arithmacy text book. Last year it was her worst class, he knew and and this year with the bet that her and Phil made she had no intention to lose. Caelan admired her ambition that was for sure.

Caelan wasn't aware what he needed to do while waiting, but he didn't care too much for watching it happen.

Before long Phil and Taela were playing chess and he decided it was better to help Phil than to watch him get decimated by their brilliant little sister. He wouldn't need to know it was mostly because their father had been coaching her while they were in school, but because Caelan was the best letter writer of the three of them he knew.

Hours passed and before long, Ellie was sleeping on his shoulder as he wrote another lengthy letter. He was writing to a Miss Evelyn Kovak, telling her of the events in a grave detail. It was already 3AM August 31st, Halloween, and Caelan was shocked that she was so tired considering Ellie was a night-owl, but she spent most of the day leading up to the main event playing Quidditch and working out with Phil. They had a crunches competition and although he won, she won the push-up one. He wrote to Eva about the joys of having such a huge family, as well as the pains, and the excitement he had to see her again.

.

Caelan could still remember the day they found out their mother was pregnant with Taela. Their father had been comatose for some while, they were five years old, and Aunt Brooke was watching them. It was fun to play around with Stephen, but they missed their father's warm and gentle presence even if he was quiet most days. Now looking back at it, it was hard to imagine a life without Taela. Taela was certainly the perfect meld of their parents. She reflected their father's quiet mischief, and their mother's bright gleeful bubbliness.

Now, when their mother announced her pregnancy, it was the morning of their father's discharge from the hospital. Their father was still in his bed, and their mother was sitting next to him looking fresh-faced and cheery. This was the mother they were familiar with. Although their mother could often get worn down by work, she was always quick to see the better side of life. Caelan would always know his mother as the sweetest, kindest human to live. When life got him down, whether it his health or his unending nervousness in other situations his mother was the first one to comfort him, give him the love he needed to be a gentle, loving human.

The morning that their mother had news for them, she was smiling so hard they were afraid she would break her cheeks with the joy stretching across her face. Their father was also smiling, not as large, but it was sincere and rare. He had an arm around their mother's waist and was stroking the small patch of skin exposed from her tank-top.

"Momma and dadda have some wonderful news for you, come sit with us." She greeted them. She invited Aunt Brooke, Uncle Joe, Steph and Corie to come inside and surround the bed. Then followed some Quidditch friends of their dad's. Before long, their grandparents were also called in; the hospital room was quite large, but it was now brimming with people who loved them all.

"Devin and I are expecting another baby!" Their mother announced gleefully. Before long the room was alight with congratulations and shrieks of excitement for them. Caelan was sitting with Stephen flipping through Stephen's coloring book, when he caught a look at his parents. There were no smiles, but he could feel their love emanating from them like a light that was destined to never go out. He imagined that was what love was supposed to be; quiet, but never ending.

.

"Guys," Aunt Bella said gently shaking Ellie awake, Caelan was shocked to find he'd also fallen asleep. As Phil lifted Taela into his arms, Caelan started to grab their travel entertainment bags."It's time, they're letting people go see her."

Caelan felt a shyness kind of overwhelm him as he started to walk towards the room.

It was odd to feel shy about meeting his little sister. What wrong could he do in her eyes? Oh so much, he thought, but he didn't want to contemplate just how wrong he could do. But he knew that he could do wrong in her eyes and he never wanted to do that to her.

They were about to meet their new baby sister for the first time. Certainly they'd spent plenty of time hanging around their mother, rubbing at her elongated stomach with content in their eyes. They were all excited to meet Katherina, the name chosen by the three of them. He suggested Katie, Phil suggested Lorina, and Ellie combined the two to make Katherina. Not to mention it was the name of the tempest beauty from Taming of the Shrew, their mother's second favorite Shakespeare play after a Winter's Tale. Caelan himself preferred As You Like It, as it was a wonderful story of feminism while love could still trump.

When they met Taela for the first time, they were by no means knowledgeable of what it meant besides they had a new playmate. They were only five after all. Now that they were older, the triplets were aware that this was probably their last sibling which was beautiful since they hadn't been expecting another one. They were also aware that it meant while they were away, their parents were getting 'busy'. That was a gross implication, but a true one nonetheless. Now as they entered the hospital room, any nervousness, excitement, or shyness left.

They were welcomed with the vision of their mother, sweaty and crying with a laughing smile on her face, with their father's forehead pressed to the temple of hers. He too was smiling. In her arms was the smallest, most precious person alive in that single moment. In their arms, they held Katherina Jaycie Brennham.

The baby Brennham, the last Brennham, the most precious, beautiful life in that sole moment.
