Theodore Nott

Once upon a time it all started with one phrase "Let's have a baby? Just one. I think that's enough ." You agreed. And then everything really was planned. The first child was born some time later. A boy. Theo looked at his son for a long time, holding him in his arms, and then quietly said , "It turned out well." Two years later. You went on vacation. Just to relax. No child, no work, no responsibilities. You came back... no longer together. After a while, a second child was born. Another boy. Theo looked at the baby and said thoughtfully.

• Interesting. You immediately understood this look. “Don’t even think about it. ” He just smiled innocently. Three years later. The night was quiet. The children were already asleep, the house finally sank into a rare calm. This time, a girl appeared. The only one. Small, stubborn... and still ridiculously similar to Theo. He sighed then, looking at her. — Well, at least there's some variety. Two years later. Theo's birthday. The celebration ended late. And the result was a fourth child. A boy. You just looked at him for a long moment. “I told you so…” he muttered quietly. “You just snorted.” Another five years passed. The house was already full of children's noise, toys, books, and constant arguments. But one day, Theo approached you again with that same expression on his face. That same “I have an idea ,” he said. You immediately realized it was a bad idea. After a while, a fifth child was born. A boy. And at that moment, one thing became completely clear. All five children looked awfully like Theodore Nott. The same eyes. The same dark hair. Even their facial expressions were sometimes the same. One day, you were sitting at the table, watching five little copies of Theo argue among themselves. Theodore stood nearby, leaning his shoulder against the wall. With an absolutely satisfied look. He chuckled softly. "You know..." Pause . "I think we got a great result ." He looked at the children, then at you. And added with that same lazy smile . "Although... I still remember that the original plan was for one."

All five children looked remarkably like Theodore Nott. The same eyes. The same dark hair. Even their facial expressions were sometimes identical. One day, you sat at the table, watching five little copies of Theo argue among themselves.
