July 31, 1990 St. Mungo's Hospital
Tom Riddle sat next to his soul mate Bellatrix, who was holding a beautiful baby boy. After hours of labor Hadrian Riddle Slytherin Black was finally born. He had luscious dark hair, and the most mesmerizing vibrant green eyes that were a carbon copy of his mothers. Tom could not take his eyes of his son, and he felt a feeling in his chest that only one other person on this planet could make him feel. Bellatrix had showed him how to love and made him into a better person. She showed him that people could be good, and had helped him recover from years of abuse from his father. Bellatrix had seen him when he was most vulnerable and never left him. Right then and there Tom promised himself that he would never treat Hadrian the way his father had treated him.
"Tom, look at his eyes", gasped Bellatrix. Tom was shocked at what he saw, around the pupils of Hadrian's eye a red ring had formed. It was a deep red that faded into the green of his eyes. Tom felt a surge of pride in his chest. "Bella, he is our beautiful Dark Prince". Tom knew that he would go to great lengths to protect Hadrian and his Bella. There was no limit when it came to them. A light knock was heared on the door, and Narcissa and Lucius walked in to the room. "Can I see my nephew?" Narcissa's eye sparkled with excitement. "Congratulations Tom," Lucius smiled. Unknown to the rest of the world, Tom considered the members of his inner circle family, and would protect them no matter what. "I'm so happy that Hadrian will be able to become friends with Draco" Narcissa lovingly said. Draco had been born a week ago, and was a spitting image of his father. "We can raise them together like brothers" Bellatrix softly spoke, while looking at Hadrian.
Suddenly another knock was heared at the door. This time Rodolphus Lestrange, Severus Snape, Cygnus Greengrass and a pregnant Aurora Greengrass entered. They all congratulated Tom and Bella and then argued over who got to carry Hadrian first. Tom looked over at Bella and met her eyes, silently asking for permission to announce his idea. Bella nodded, and couldn't wipe the smile from her face. Tom had to chuckle at Bella, and cleared his voice. "We have an announcement to make, " he calmly said. Bella excitedly spoke on, "Aurora you have been my best friend since I was born, and it would be an honor if you would become Hadrian's godmother". Aurora squealed and ran over to Bella to give her a hug. Her brilliantly blue eyes sparkled with tears and joy. "It would be an honor! I can't wait to spoil him, and oh! He and Daphne will become best friends! Thank you so much Bella!" "Daphne? Are you expecting a girl?" Bella eagerly asked. "Oh yes! She's due sometime in December, our own little Ice Princess! " Everybody chuckled and grew nervous at that statement. It was well known that Aurora had the most intimidating eyes, even more than Tom when he was in his Voldemort glamour. Her eyes could become icy, detached, and cold like no one else's. During her years at Hogwarts she was referred to as the 'Ice Queen' because of her brilliantly blue icy eyes. "Now for the godfathers, Bella and I have decided to chose two, since it was impossible to chose one. We have chosen Severus and Rodolphus" They were both overcome with emotion, and promised themselves to always protect their Dark Prince. Bellatrix beamed at him, and smiled at him for making the right choice. She had decided on the godmother, and he on the godfathers.
After a few hours of talking, they all decided to leave so that Bella and Hadrian could rest. Tom watched as Bella slept, her dark thick curls surrounding her face and her beautiful pink pouty lips. She was beautiful, and he would never get tired of looking at her. She and Hadrian were his world, and with those last few thoughts he fell asleep.
AN: This is my first story, so sorry for the typos. Lucius and Narcissa were not chosen as godparents because they are already his aunt and uncle. Especially since Narcissa and Bellatrix are sisters. Just wanted to clarify that!
