Darkness surrounded him, as he drove as quick as he could- the motorcycle getting lower and lower as the gas tank emptied.
"Damn it," he muttered under his breath, being careful not to wake the two bodies in the side car. "I cant wreck this thing... if i do- no doubt they'll die... then what would Michelle do? She gave her life to protect them... now, i must protect them the best I can... James- Lily... you're my only answer..." The puttering of the engine alerted him, and he quickly descended the motorcycle from the air. Landing in a deserted feild just outside of Godrics Hollow just as the motorcycles engine gave out, the black-haired wizard picked up the two babies from the side-car, and ran. The streets of the town were empty and the houses dark- as all the citizens were asleep. The dampening rain didnt help him, as several times he almost fell.
"You know what- forget this-" he seethed, going into the graveyard and hiding. Placing the two bundles down, he used his jacket and placed both in it- then tied the sleeves together. Then, quickly, he metamorphed into his dog form. Being careful to not wake the two children, he picked up the bundle with his muzzle, and ran out of the graveyard. The air fogged around his nose as he ran, and he prayed the kids were alright. Finally, he made it to the house he called his home- and jumped over the fence. Quickly, he made his way up to the door and scratched desperately.

"James... do you hear that?" Lily asked, looking around. Her husband looked up from the newspaper and his eyes widened.
"What's Sirius doing in his dog form?" he questioned, quickly walking to the door.

Sirius heard the voices inside- then the steps- until surely enough, the door opened and he padded inside. He lay the bundle on the couch beside Lily, and then ran upstairs. Changing back into his human form, Sirius changed into some cloths he had left at James' for just incase. Taking two steps at a time, he raced downstairs and into the living room.
"Sirius... are these..." James asked, looking up at his best friend as he came towards them.
"Yeah- they are. Michelle's dead, James. They killed her." James and Lily both looked up at Sirius, their eyes wide.
"She's... gone?" Lily asked, wide-eyed, and Sirius nodded.
"She managed to send these two to me, just before they got to her place," Sirius said gravely, his eyes dark with anger and grief; he continued," You two- besides Peter and Remus- are all I have left. Will you help me out?"
"Of course," Lily nodded.
"Without question," James agreed. Sirius slightly smiled, relieved- though he knew that James would help him- no matter the stipulations.
"What are their names?" Lily asked softly; Sirius looked down at the two sleeping girls and sighed softly.
"Kylie and Sibrina," he told her.
"Beautiful names," Lily smiled, as Sibrina opened her eyes and blinked a few times. Then, looked straight at Sirius and reached out her tiny hands.
"Da." Lily and James looked up at Sirius, who had the softest of smiles on his face.
"I have yet to actually hold either of them," he said out loud.
"Well- might as well go on ahead- she wants you, Da," James smiled, laughing softly as he nudged Sirius softly. Sirius chuckled, and bent down, picking up the awaiting girl.
"What.. what if i hurt her- or Kylie some how..." Sirius said, looking at Sibrina, worried.
"You're doing just fine, Sirius," Lily smiled. He looked over at her, and she nodded assuringly.
"Now- we just need Wormtail and Moony here..." As if on cue a soft knocking came from outside.
"Thats Remus- I'll get it," Lily said, standing up. James smiled over at his friend, as Sirius looked down at Sibrina, who had her hand on his cheek, looking up at him curiously.
"I heard about Michelle." Sirius looked up, and saw Remus standing just behind the couch- Peter behind him," I'm truly sorry. We all cared about her." Sirius nodded, understandingly.
"Well... i have to take care of these two, or else she'll come back from the dead and haunt me the rest of my life," Sirius sighed, then looked down at Sibrina and said to her," Ow, ow, ow- Thats my hair you little brat." She laughed, but let go of his hair, resting her hand back on his cheek.
"Come on in Peter- no need to stay out there," James said, and Peter nodded hesitantly, then slowly scuffled into the room. Looking over the back of the couch, Peter saw Kylie, and looked back up at Sirius, where Sibrina was- then done a double-take.
"Yeah man, twins," James laughed, bringing the short man into a hug. Peter smiled slightly, and then sat down on one of the chairs. Sirius smiled down at Sibrina, then set her down on the couch next to her sister. They all smiled, as Sibrina set her head to the side, and watched Kylie sleep, then soon, fell asleep herself, her hand resting against one of Kylie's.
"Hey," Sirius said softly to James," You got some parchment and ink I can use?"
"Yeah," James nodded, then gestured for him to follow. Sirius followed along behind James, and sat down at the kitchen table, as James set the parchment, quill, and ink down in front of him.
"Have at it- but when your done, come into the living room- will ya?"
"Alright- i will," Sirius nodded. James patted his friends back- then left the room, returning to the living room. Sirius stared at the parchment in front of him for the longest time, then reached into his pocket and pulled out two lockets. Sighing gruffly, Sirius opened both of them and laid them down in front of him. Dipping the quill into the ink, Sirius got to work.
If your reading this... then I've probably made a mistake
somewhere between here and then. I love you both, Kylie and Sibrina-
as did your mother. Dont let anyone else tell you
differently. Things just haven't really went as planned... sadly.
I'm writing this now, just to tell you that I
love you with my life- and would do anything to protect
you both. Hopefully its not to late to repair
the bond between us... and i hope that when you read this..
and the next time we see each other... that you can still
accept me somehow... Dont ever stop believing
in yourselves. Dont ever turn on each other. It might be
all you ever have at some point. The strongest bond there is,
is that of siblings, especially twins.
Forever in my hearts.
Sirius
Nodding to himself, he made sure the ink was dry, then folded the parchment up, and placed it inside one locket. Closing it- he saw the letter S.
"Sibrina- if anyone can figure out how to open these- it'll be you," Sirius smiled. Then, looking at the other locket, Sirius pulled out a picture from his shirt pocket and folded it slightly, until it fit in the other locket. Closing it, he pulled each side by side, and smiled softly.
"My girls... I wont let anything happen to you- ever." With that, he stood up, placing the lockets into his pants pocket and walked into the living room.
"So- what do you want?" he asked James, hitting him playfully up the head.
"You all of course know that James and I are having a baby, correct?" Lily asked, and the all nodded.
"Well- we'd like for Sirius," James said, turning to the said friend," To be the Godfather." Sirius looked at him, wide-eyed.
"Seriously?" Sirius asked.
"Seriously." James nodded, and they both laughed.
"Sure," Sirius smiled, "I'd be honored." After a few drinks, Peter stood up.
"I must really be going," he said, and scuttered towards the door.
"Oh, uhm.. okay," James said, and waved a goodbye- but Peter was already out the door.
"Well that was kinda.. odd," Sirius remarked.
"He's been acting kind of odd today," Remus said, and Sirius nodded.
"Well- now for something i need to say," Sirius began, and leaned up in his chair," I want you, James, and you, Remus- to be Kylie and Sibrina's godfathers."
"Haha," James laughed," You know I will be."
"I dont know..." Remus said, worried," What about-"
"Dont worry Moony, it'll be fine- i just want you to make sure their staying alive," Sirius told him, trying to calm him, though Remus still looked a little unsure.
"Alright... I can try," Remus finally said, giving in.
"Alright!" James and Sirius exclaimed.
"Shhhh!" Lily said from the kitchen, and they both snickered and hunched over.
"Sorry," James said softer- but loud enough for her to hear.
"We'll, i should be headed out too," Remus said, standing up.
"Very well- have a safe trip," James told him, giving him a hug.
"I shall- you both keep safe as well," Remus replied, giving Sirius a hug," have a nice one Lily."
"I will, keep safe Remus," Lily said, coming around the corner, and giving him a hug.
0o0o0o0o
Remus left, and Sirius curled up on the couch, looking over at the chair, where Lily had made a makeshift bed for Sibrina and Kylie.
"G'night man," James said as he walked up the stairs.
"G'night." Sirius looked over at the two sleeping twins, and smiled," G'night you two. Dream happy dreams." Using his wand, he turned the lights out, and was asleep within minutes.
