Summary: This is a sequel to TDLD, and continues to follow Paige and Blaise in their journey of protecting their children. Is everything going to finally be normal for the two of them or are they still going to have to fight to protect their children?

A/N: Sorry it's taken so long to get the sequel up, but I thought I would give you all a short preview. I don't expect all the chapters to be this short again. If you have not read The Dark Lord's Daughter previous to venturing here please do take the time to read that before this or else you will be a little lost in what's going on. I do appreciate all those that have waited for the continuation of this story and am looking forward to reading all your reviews. I'll be answering them as the next chapters and so come out.

The Knight Bus and New Family

The conductor got off the bus and asked, "Where are you off to Miss?"

"The Zabini Manor in Bristol please. How much will that be for the three of us?"

"Two galleons. We'll be there in about two or three hours," he said grabbing my bags as I walked onto the bus, he showed me to a bed and waited for me to pay.

I dug through my bag and pulled out the money that I needed and handed it to him. I sat down on the bed with the twins you had fallen asleep again already. I pulled my wand out and conjured rails along the sides of the bed so that the twins wouldn't roll off, then I laid down next to them and went to sleep. I was shaken awake in what felt like no time.

"We've arrived, Miss," the conductor said grabbing my bag.

Taking the twins I followed him off the bus where he placed down my bag and then he went back on the bus. I picked the bag up and walked up the gravel driveway. Reaching the front door I placed the bag down and knocked. I waited for a few minutes when the door opened revealing Mrs. Zabini.

"Paige come in," she said opening the door wider, grabbing my bag and ushering me inside.

"Thank you, Mrs. Zabini for allowing us to stay here on such short notice."

"It's alright and please call me Mom it's only right," she said walking up the stairs with me trailing behind her. She showed me to a room where the twins and I would be staying. "Here's your room. There's a nursery through this door," she said walking across the room and to a door with stairs painted on it, "You can get up whenever you want, the house-elves will take care of the twins until either you or I am awake."

"Thank you, would you like to hold Xavier?"

She nodded and I handed him to her.

"Where are your other children?" I asked thinking about how the letters we had gotten from her during our stay in the castle not mentioning them at all.

"I sent them to relatives in Australia. So they'd be more safe than staying here what with the war all over Europe, and more than likely to even break out through Asia, too. I just didn't feel safe having them here, and then with Blaise along with you I had to stay so I could get updates on you all quickly. Have you talked to Blaise lately?"

"I received a letter from him right before I left I don't know how he is though. Since the letter I had wrote to him was about my condition now. He wanted to rush to my side, but I told him I needed time right now and that I needed some space," I said putting Rayne in one of the cribs since we had been standing in the nursery, "Mom" had put Xavier in the other crib after I had tucked Rayne in.

"What do you mean your condition?" she asked looking down at the twins sleeping.

"Well I'm pregnant again but only two months or so," I said walking towards the door, "And it wasn't planned. I don't really want to be having the baby with all that's going on. It's bad enough I have to raise two kids in this, now I have to raise another one in this state that the world is in," I said walking out of the room.

"Oh, well at least you don't have to worry about sending them to school anywhere. Since they are still little," she said following me out of the room, "I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Night," I said as she walked out the room, and then made my way over to the bed where I laid down and went to sleep.

I woke up the next morning to Rayne crying, I crawled out of bed and made my way to the nursery. Once I got in there and made my way to Rayne's crib I was met with the sight of tears pouring out of her eyes and running down her face.

"Oh, Hunny! What's wrong?" I asked picking her up.

"Dada," she said flailing her arms all over the place.

"You miss your dad, don't you?" I asked as I rocked her back and forth trying to calm her.

I thought about how he could have been here with me now if only I had opened those letters sooner. Maybe he would have never gone to my father.

"I'm sorry baby, but it's all mummy's fault your dad isn't here if only I would have listened to him and forgiven him sooner," I said placing her back in the crib tears coming to my eyes.

Blaise where are you? We need you right now. I can't raise them myself. If only you hadn't turned to my father. I thought leaning against the window looking out at the scenery that lay in front of me. Maybe he'd be able to get away soon and I won't have to worry about what might happen to him. I don't want my children to grow up not knowing their father. I can't do this whole raising three kids by myself thing. I know his mother would be willing to help but it's not the same, if anything bad happens to him I'll never forgive myself.

It had now been a few weeks since I had come to Zabini Manor, Blaise had sent me another letter this morning stating that he was closer to escaping from being in my father's inner circle at which point we would stay here for one extra day and then go back into hiding. That way we wouldn't be endangering his mother's life, but she'd at least get to see him before we had to leave even though it was two weeks away, but that just meant that she'd have more time with her grandchildren and hopefully soon-to-be daughter-in-law.

I'm just hoping that nothing happens to him and he gets here safely. I just wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to him, I'd completely go off my rocker and blame myself for pushing him away and ignoring his letters that he sent me all those weeks ago causing him to go to my father and possibly endanger his life.

If I was the cause of the love of my life to die I would just die myself either from a broken heart or from guilt. The days went by and the twins were getting pretty attached to their grandmother.

Now it was the day Blaise was suppose to arrive and his mother was in a cleaning frenzy wanting the house to be spick-and-span for the arrival of her youngest son. Even if it was only for a day, in her mind it had to be perfect because he hadn't been home since the beginning of sixth year and since the twins were born at what should have been the beginning of our seventh year, and now with the twins being almost ten months old he hadn't been home in almost two years.

She had a big dinner planned, she had gotten a hold of her other children and had made plans for them to come stay with her for a few days. Rebecca and Roxanne had been here a few days with Marie arriving the next day, and Xavier was suppose to be here in a few minutes, so I was in the nursery attempting to get the twins ready.

Once that task had been accomplished after much protesting from Rayne. Making my way out of the nursery, I stopped in my room to get a few things for the twins to play with, putting them into a bag, and finally made my way out of the room and downstairs with the twins in my arms.

"So you're my little brother's girl?" a male voice said from the base of the stairs as I made my way down them.

"Yeah I am, and here's your niece and nephew. There's another one on the way but I don't know if it's a boy or girl yet," I said handing him Xavier while I carried Rayne into the sitting room where the rest of Blaise's family was.

Xavier followed me carrying his nephew. I sat down on the couch after I had laid out some toys for the twins to play with and had set Rayne down on the floor with them. Rayne went to town with the toys and once Xavier was set down the two of them began to play with the toys. It always amazed me how the two of them interacted with each other.

I just wish I knew how it was to be that connected with your other half, but seeing as how I don't even know if my other half is alive or not, I wouldn't know. I wish I knew though so if they were alive I could at least keep in contact with them. I can only hope that my kids stay close, especially Xavier and Rayne.

I just kind of wish my life wasn't so screwed up, at least when I was living my life in America it wasn't so screwed up. I guess it doesn't help that my father is basically the one that almost everyone views as the root of all evil. I don't know how him and my mother got together or what even happened to her. I just wish I knew more about my family. At least that way my kids would know about both sides of their family.

The day was spent with the Zabini's catching up with each other. They'd bring me into the conversation every once in awhile, but I'd only respond with one or two words, my mind was occupied with what would happen the next day when Blaise would arrive. Or maybe I should just try and think about something else.

I'd like to know where Draco disappeared to and if he is a threat to any of us, especially the twins or has he realized his mistake in trying to take the twins from Blaise and me. Could he become a danger to impending children Blaise and me could have.

"You alright?" a voice asked snapping me out of my daze.

I shook my head to clear and then answered, "Yeah, I just kind of zoned out."

"You alright though? You had this sad look on your face," Marie said having sat next to me awhile ago.

"Oh I was just thinking about something's that's all. Nothing that big," I said watching as Xavier was crashing two toy cars together, making sound effects as they crashed.

"You should cheer up and all, could you imagine what Blaise would say if he say you looking sad or knew you were sad," she said watching me as I sat there with my hands in my lap.

"I think I'm just going to head up to bed now with the twins since it's close to their bed time, and I'm getting tired myself," I said picking the twins up, "Goodnight everyone."

They all said goodnight and gave the twins kisses goodnight. I made my way out of the room and up the stairs to get the twins ready for bed. Once that had been accomplished I put the twins in their separate cribs to put them to sleep but once they were both in the cribs they began to cry. So I took them out and brought them to bed with me. Once again I put the railings up so that they wouldn't roll off the bed as we slept. I soon fell asleep.

A/N: Hopefully I'll be getting the next chapter up soon. I have more typed up but I don't want to toss it all up at once. I'm debating on putting chapters up more frequently but then they'd be shorter or have more time between and have them longer. Review and let me know. I do look forward to reading what you have to say, so thank you in advanced.
