Dear Readers, I am not as gifted as JKR and other professional writers so I can not do the whole summarization of the story so far. My stories overlap each other and it is very likely you will be lost if you have not read at least Teddy.
I hope you like this journey with The Lupins.
BTW regular readers will recognize a plot bunny that attacked me in the clearance aisle of Wal-Mart.

Victoire looked out the kitchen window. She could see Gwarp sitting beside Hagrid in front of their huts. It still amused her that, with all the resources' the farm had, Hagrid had chosen to recreate his and Gwarp's huts from Hogwarts exactly.
Teddy was late. She wasn't worried, because if he had been hurt she would have already heard from Uncle Harry. More than likely it was paper work again. Speaking of which she had better stop wool gathering and get to the farm's books.
She sat at the large farm table and pulled the books toward her. The farm was going well, so well in fact she was eyeing the adjacent farm. She just wanted to double check her figures and be certain they had enough profit to buy it.
Teddy's silver wolf bounded through the wall and spoke. "Sorry honey, we got bogged down with paperwork. I should be home in an half an hour."
Victoire smiled and checked the warming spell on the stew. She had time to drop the books off at shell cottage for her Dad and Mammon to look at.
She left a note for Teddy and flooed to her childhood home. "Mammon, Poppa?"
Fleur came out of the kitchen wiping her hands on her apron. "Ma fille! Ow are you?"
"I doing well mammon. Do you and poppa have a few minutes to look at the farm's books?"
Victoire flooed back to her house 20 minutes later feeling confident she could make an offer on the neighbor's farm.
She found her husband coming out of their suite toweling his hair, clad only in an old pair of jeans. "Um Mr. Lupin you could make a girl forget about dinner and have desert first!"
Teddy grinned and ducked his head, his hair changing to flame red. Victoire thought it was cute that one, he still blushed when she made a saucy comment and two his hair even blushed!
Over their dinner of stew, cheese, fruit and bread they talked of Teddy's day and about buying the farm next door. Teddy was proud of his wife. She had a knack for farming and had already made the acreage they had a profitable venture.
After dinner they headed to their favorite chair by the fire. It was Hagrid size and they both fit, cuddled up together, in it well. "When I was at mammon and poppa's, poppa mentioned we should go see grandpa. He's not doing so well."
"Uncle Harry mentioned it too. Why don't we see if there is a quidditch match this week and we can go watch it with him and have dinner with him and Grandma Molly?"
That decided they fell in to comfortable silence, broken only by the sound of their mantle clock chiming the hour.

A few days latter found Teddy, Victoire and Arthur rooting on Gryffindor against Hufflepuff. Fred and James were amazing beaters. Rose only let two goals through. But the star was Albus. He made a spectacular catch, inches from the ground, to end the game.
Grandpa Arthur smiled all the way back to Love cottage. "Molly you should of see the grandchildren! I tell you we have enough for a professional quidditch team! Maybe George and Bill should have WWW buy one!"
Molly loved seeing the old twinkle in Arthur's eye. "Now don't you be puttin ideas in to their heads! Lord knows they come up with enough on their own! Victoire have you heard about their latest birthday party in a box?" Victoire shook her head. "It's a cursed pyramid! Your dad was proud as punch he was, showin it to me. It even had mutated skeletons like the ones we saw in Egypt! I can't imagine parents buying it! The children will be frightened half to death!"
They had a pleasant dinner although Teddy noticed Arthur just pushed his food around the plate. Afterward Arthur took them to the parlor to show them his latest muggle plaything. "Dudley brought it to me! It's called a grill. You put meat in to it and plug it up to ekeltricity and the meat cooks! Molly says I can't try it here, she's afraid I'll burn the house down. So Harry and Ginny are having us over Saturday and I get to make chicken in it!" Molly's sniff said more than words could about what she thought of cooking chicken on a grill.
It wasn't long after, that they could see Arthur was tiring quickly. Victoire kissed him goodbye and Teddy held him just a bit longer than their usual hug.
"Victoire what do you think of the name Arthur for a boy?" Teddy and Victoire were curled up in their bed. "I know we said that we weren't going to pick out names until we saw the baby, but….."
Teddy was silenced with a kiss. "I think that Arthur is a wonderful name. Did you get off tomorrow afternoon for our appointment?" Teddy nodded his head.
"I swore Uncle Harry to secrecy. If your mum or Ginny found out he knew first they would skin me alive!"

Teddy stared open mouthed at the healer. His hair had turned a bright shade of orange. "Twins? Are you sure?" With her nod he began to dance around the room in joy, stopping suddenly to ask; "Will my wife be ok? Is there something special I need to do for her? Should she be on bed rest?"
An hour later, with Teddy reassured that Victoire would be just fine, they were sitting at their favorite restaurant. "Teddy lets keep it a secret from everybody until Grandpa's birthday."
"Are you sure? I think we should tell your folks, Grandma Andromeda, Harry and Ginny. Lord knows they can keep a secret."
Over her second slice of chocolate decadence cake, Victoire agreed.
