One Step Back

Prologue:

The clock struck midnight and the woman screamed, her cry ringing over the walls of the hollow. Her heavy breathing was the only thing that was heard in the dimly lit room. Her eldest son was sleeping, wrapped up gently in the soft blue blankets that the midwife provided while her husband was wrapping the younger one in a bundle of blue.

"Congratulations Mrs. Potter, they're both very healthy baby boys," Angel McKinley, the midwife said with a gentle smile to the exhausted woman. The red haired woman instead ignored her and turned to her husband who was cradling their youngest son. Lily Potter glared.

"James Potter, I am never giving birth again," she rasped. Her husband merely smiled and placed a soft kiss to her forehead, passing the younger of their twins into her arms. Her eyes watered with pride when she saw the child. "He looks like you James,"

James Potter smiled and gently tickled the baby. He mewled softly and opened his eyes. Lily smiled and both newly made parents gasped when two bright green orbs met their gazes. The baby boy looked over then and gurgled, a pudgy hand reaching out and catching a strand of Lily's hair. The witch smiled and James gently brushed back the hair from his grasp.

"How'd it go? Is Lily alright?" A handsome black haired man accompanied the shout as he entered the room. His blue eyes darted around and they brightened when he saw the baby sleeping in Angel's arms. Sirius Black leaped about excitedly and hurried over. "Is this your son? Lily, James he's–"

The Auror halted abruptly and he smiled sheepishly when the Potter's glared at him. Then he noticed the second bundle in Lily's arms.

"Twins!" Remus Lupin sighed at Sirius' exuberant shout as he walked in. "Remus look! Lily had twins!"

"They're adorable Lily," Remus said gently, looking over both children. The one in the midwife's arms whimpered softly and squirmed slightly before falling silent. The baby in Lily's arms blinked sleepily and snuggled into his blankets. "What are their names?"

"Hang on a sec," and James went to get his eldest from the woman. She smiled and handed him to the wizard. "Thanks,"

"James has Hayden Henry Potter," Lily said brightly. She looked down at the one she held. "And this, this is Christopher Peregrin Potter."

"Christopher Peregrin?" Remus asked with a wry grin. "You've been reading the Lord of the Rings haven't you? I like Christopher though."

And the Potters just smiled.

What was going on? Why did the room look so bright? He squirmed and someone gently shifted him. He swore he heard a woman scream. Sheesh, that was loud. He felt a soft blanket being wrapped around him and happily he snuggled into it. He was being shifted again he noticed and a soft unfamiliar voice entered his ears.

"He looks like you James," and a soft hand gently tickled him. At the name, his eyes snapped open and he was stunned into silence.

Mum? Dad? He wasn't really aware of movement and he sighed happily when soft red hair was clutched in his hands. Then a loud noise made him inwardly flinch and his mouth went dry when two people walked in.

"Twins!" Twins? He wondered. "Lily had twins!"

"They're adorable Lily," hearing the familiar voice, he smiled and settled deeper into his blankets. A conversation took place and the last words he heard were,

"…this is Christopher Peregrin Potter."

Mum must've been reading Lord of the Rings. Christopher Peregrin Potter? Huh. I like that. Better than dull, boring Harry James Potter. Merlin I'm sleepy.
