Chapter 2.

"Daddy!" Harry woke with a start to see Olivia jumping up and down at the end of the bed giggling as she went. Harry groaned covering his head with a pillow and began muttering obscenities into the fabric. The only back draw when it came to fatherhood, the kids woke up too bloody early.

"Daddy it's two in the afternoon! Wake up!" Olivia ordered pouncing on Harry's back making him groan in frustration, she thought it was the funniest thing in the world.

"Alright, alright devil spawn! I'm up!" Harry snapped throwing the pillow off his head, and rolled out of bed landing hard on the floor. Olivia continued to watch him perched at the end of the bed with the grin that reminded Harry of her mother.

"If I'm the devil spawn then it's your fault!" Olivia replied tapping her chin in ponder, something Harry often did making him laugh.

"I suppose you're right." Harry stated getting to his feet, walking over to the wardrobe he pulled out a pair of jeans, a wifebeater, and a sweatshirt. Escaping to the bathroom he quickly dressed, pulling a bandanna over his hair to cover the scar. Smirking at his appearance he exited the bathroom to find no sign of Olivia. Groaning in aggravation, Harry walked over to the door and flung it open to find Greg exiting his quarters.

"See you slept well..." Harry yawned rubbing his still groggy eyes, Greg chuckled and nodded his head before they continued down to the dinning room where loud giggling could be heard, but not just Olivia...it couldn't be...

"Carla?" Harry called out a little uncertain of himself; Carla was three years older than him, but at least a good foot shorter. She had long chestnut colored hair, and sparkling blue eyes that could make the strongest man melt. She was wearing a semi short miniskirt and a black top that brought out her eyes. Sitting on her lap was no other than Olivia in her arms sat a small black pup, oh no...she got her a pet!

"Harry dear how are you?" Carla cooed removing Olivia from her lap and set her gently on the couch kissing her forehead as he went. Olivia smirked at her father while cuddling the puppy in her arms, she knew what he thought about keeping pets, and because they moved around so frequently it made having animals difficult which was why Harry always told her no.

"Fine, had a long night last night though." Harry yawned stretching his arms behind his back before he opened his arms up and Carla launched herself in them making him laugh and kiss her head gently.

"So I've heard, and why wasn't I told about our little girl's little escapade?" Carla asked earning a wince from both father and daughter alike...our little girl? What the fuck is her problem?

"Didn't have much time when the auroras showed up sweetheart." Harry tried rubbing her cheek softly before kissing her softly on the lips earning a groan from his 'lovers' lips.

"You and your magic, seems a bit more trouble then what its worth." Carla scoffed taking a seat beside Olivia.

"You have no idea." Harry smirked plopping down on his overstuffed armchair, it was good to be home...out of all the properties he owned, this had to be his favorite house.

"Very well, I forgive you...for now..." Carla smiled softly as she ruffled Olivia's curls making her have a forced smile.

"Now may I ask why you brought Livy a dog when I tell her all the time she can't have one?" Harry asked shooting a look at both girls who seemed to be giving him the innocent treatment...innocent...right...Harry scoffed and began to tap his fingers on the arm of the chair to await an explanation.

"Well… you two are always on the run it seems, and I know how lonely it can be... So I decided that Olivia needed a friend. And Max was just giving them away so I decided what the heck...are you mad at me?" Carla asked biting her lip making Harry want to groan.

"I suppose I can't tell you to throw it out in the streets?" Harry inquired to Olivia who replied with a deadly glare making him chuckle and nod his head in acceptance.

"Very well, but no more stealing if I allow you to keep it." Olivia jumped from her seat squealing with joy as she gave both Harry and Carla a hug before taking up the puppy and running outside to sit on the porch.

"I love that girl." Carla sighed as she watched Olivia go before turning back to Harry who was observing her curiously making her blush.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Carla asked running her hands over her face being careful not to smudge her makeup making Harry wanted to snort.

"No, it's beautiful as usual." Harry completed earning him a light giggle; yep he was good at this.

"Then what's the matter?" Carla asked moving over to sit on Harry's lap, something was different about her, there seemed a special spark that wasn't there before. Harry just couldn't manage to put his finger on it at the moment...but perhaps...he saw the same look when Sonja found out she was...oh no!

"Is there something you want to tell me?" Harry whispered huskily into her ear praying to the Gods if they were there to grant him this one wish, he couldn't deal with another kid!

"Actually there is, would you like to take a walk in the gardens?" Carla asked offering her hand, sighing Harry nodded and scooped her up in his arms making her squeal with glee as he carried her outside to his favorite part of the gardens, where Hyacinths and Iris grew enormously. Setting her down on the bench Harry took a seat on the side of the fountain and ran his fingers through the cold water absentmindedly awaiting the big news Carla had.

"Harry, I don't know how to say this...alright I'll just say it! I'm six months pregnant..." Harry pulled away from the water to look over his girlfriend, her belly did have a bit of a swell to it, he just thought it was that time of the month or something. When Sonja had been six months, she had been a lot bigger…WAIT! SIX MONTHS!

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, I just didn't know what to say...but I love you, I love you so much. And I came here today to tell you, no beg you...please don't lead them anymore. Please...I don't want to wait up each night praying that you'll come home alive. I have money, I know you have money...we wouldn't have to work until the baby goes off to school, perhaps longer than that and we'd still be ok."

"You want me to give up on the Seekers?" Harry asked breathlessly staring down his girlfriend with a touch of hurt in his eyes. Through the good times and bad times of his life the Seekers had been his only family, he couldn't just up and leave them...they were his brothers, had been his father...his sister...Sonja...stop it!

"Yes, I am...it's a gang for Christ's sake!" Carla spouted before she began rubbing her tummy and started taking in deep calming breaths. Harry watched on slightly worried, yet amused at the same time. Getting to his feet he took the seat beside Carla and wrapped his arms around her.

"So our little one is kicking is he?" Harry cooed rubbing his girlfriend's swelling stomach. Carla put a hand over Harry's and kissed his chin lightly before leaning her head on his chest and gazed up at the storm rolling in, typical day in Oxford.

"I'm sorry I yelled, I just don't want to loose the only family I have," Harry blanched at her sentence, family? 'Surely she wasn't thinking that they should...NO! I'm only a kid! I don't want to marry yet!' Seeing Harry's inner struggle Carla moved from Harry's embrace to get a better look at his face, she could tell what he was thinking immediately.
"You still love me...don't you Harry?" Carla whispered biting her trembling
lip

"Of course I love you...never think otherwise." Harry corrected her placing soft kisses on her exposed stomach, feeling a slight kick he chuckled and rubbed the round lump with his thumb. He didn't know what he felt about Carla, yes he loved her...he just didn't know if it was thee love yet.

"Come, we have to tell Olivia." Carla announced pulling Harry from the bench, Harry balked...Olivia, how was she going to handle this? She had been Harry's one and only...his only love until Carla came along, and he still wasn't too sure where he stood with that. One thing was for sure, if she was anything like her mother, she was going to have a major fit!

"Actually, I think I'll break the news to her myself...if you don't mind?" Carla pouted a moment before grinning and nodded kissing his cheek. Carla wondered inside the house in search for some oranges and peanut butter (don't diss it unless you've tried it! IT'S YUMMY!)

"Moo! Come here boy!" Harry managed to keep a straight face as Olivia came around the corner the tiny black pup scampering after her making Olivia giggle.

"What did you call that dog?" Harry asked as he walked over to Olivia and kissed her forehead gently.

"Moo! I think it's cute..." Olivia offered looking up at her father adorningly

"Yea, but do you really want to go around the park mooing like a cow when you're trying to find the damn dog?" Harry offered hoping to make some sort of sense. Olivia pursed her lips and glared up at her father when she realized that he was right.

"Then if you're so smart and dandy then you name him Casanova!" Olivia snapped plopping down on the bench Carla had just occupied.

"Where did you hear that?" Harry asked truly amazed at what he was hearing...Casanova! Wait! Gregory!

"I don't know..." Olivia shrugged tugging at her coat nervously, Harry sat down beside her and pulled Olivia onto his lap. Both watching the pup roll around on the ground Harry noticed the dogs massive paws and groan inwardly, there was no doubt about it, the pup was going to be a monster when it got older.

"What about Achilles?" Harry offered watching it try to pounce on a bird nearby

"What's Achilles mean dad?" Olivia asked tilting her head up to watch her father's face

"He's a legendary Greek warrior during the Trojan War..." Olivia nodded in agreement a small smile still on her lips.

"Hey dad? Can I ask you something?" Olivia asked dropping to her knees beside Achilles and began scratching behind his ears making the dog groan in absolute bliss. Harry nodded the go ahead, Olivia looked at him apprehensively before taking a breath of air and begun her question.
"Will I ever be able to...go to school?" Olivia asked a twinkle of hope in her
bright emerald eyes

"Someday I suppose." Harry muttered knowing that it was pretty much a lie, even if he did drop the Seekers his name and reputation will always follow like an unwanted shadow. No matter what, he and his family would never be safe and that pained Harry to know that fact, but he had to move on and live...

"There's a carnival going on in town this weekend, could we go?" Olivia asked smiling brightly making Harry laugh and nod his head.

"Yes!" Olivia squealed jumping into her father's arms.

"I love you Livy..."

"I love you too Daddy." Olivia kissed her father's cheek before laughing and taking off with Achilles once more making Harry grin from ear to ear, she's just like her mother...

Brick's Warehouse 2 am

"Hey Shadow..." Landon, the leader of the wolf pack greeted as Harry entered the very old vacant warehouse that night. Rubbing his tired green eyes Harry gave a stiff nod, Greg and Preacher following after him, Kelps and Sanders were waiting outside, awaiting orders for backup just in case.

"Landon, how's the northeast treating you?" Harry asked smirking, it was Landon jobs to stay near the bridge to make sure no European Gangs snuck in onto Harry's turf. And let me say you won't believe the type of people you encounter doing that.

"Pretty well actually...I came to deliver one of my new recruits; he could use some shaping up..." Landon nodded his head, one of his men walked outside and returned later with a smirking Fingers following behind, that is until he spotted Harry.
"I think he used to be one of yours, and let me tell you Shadow...this boy means loyalty, he came to me offering all of the Seekers' secrets to become one of my men! You believe that?" Landon barked out laughing as Fingers looked back and forth between the two leaders not sure if he should be happy or terrified.

"Fingers, how are you?" Harry asked in a dangerously low, cold voice earning a shiver from those who heard him.

"F-fine..." Fingers stammered his onyx eyes still flickering around the room wildly

"I'm not, I'm hurt actually...I learned one of me own boys betrayed me, and with my ally no less!" Harry spat out smirking the entire time earning loud laughs from both Landon and Harry's boys making Fingers pale immensely.
"Guess you didn't see that coming did you?" Harry laughed pulling out his wand; Fingers shook with anticipation until he heard a two syllable word that sent his eyes in a blurred red of pain. Harry held Fingers under to Cruciatus curse for a full five minutes before he relieved some of the pain with a simple numbing charm, but he wasn't finished he had one more thing to do. Crossing over to the pathetic head twitching in the far right corner he bent over and grabbed Fingers by the scruff of his neck and held him above the ground.

"You know I would've let you lived if you didn't bring my little girl into this. Sending her off to Diagon Alley during rush hour? Stupid Fingers, very stupid...she could've been kidnapped...killed...founded by the ministry. You know how much trouble that would've cost me? No? I thought so...say goodnight Fingers." Harry whispered before he walked out of the warehouse. Almost out of the parking lot three loud gunshots could be heard...and his will was completed.

Entering his home two hours later Harry removed his jacket and laid it upon the couch. Pouring himself some scotch Harry sat down in his favorite arm chair before the fire…Carla's words circling his mind. How long would he be able to go on like this? Murder after murder drug after drug…Olivia needs a stable home…his baby would need a stable home. He couldn't allow another child grow up like he did, he still mentally kicked himself that he let it happen to Olivia, never again. Hearing footsteps Harry immediately straightened in his seat; he didn't want anyone to know of his problems…not yet.

"What's the matter baby?" Carla cooed as she began to massage Harry's shoulders making him groan in content.

"Were you serious about earlier? About you wanting me to settle down?" Harry asked pulling Carla to sit on his lap.

"Of course I meant that, I love you Harry…I've never felt for anyone the way I feel for you." Carla whispered kissing Harry's lips gently before resting her head on his chest.

"If I do this we can't stay in England…or Europe for that matter, there will be too many angry people with me once I resign." Harry explained twirling his fingers into Carla's beautiful chestnut curls.

"Where will we go…oh! My uncle just past away, he left me two of his estates, one in Canada, the other in upstate New York, it would be perfect." Carla squealed jumping out of Harry's lap rubbing her tummy as she went making Harry grin in amusement.

"New York huh? We'll go then…if that's what you want; I just want our family to live a normal life." Harry sighed wrapping his arms protectively around Carla. He knew he wasn't sure if Carla was the one, but until he found out otherwise he would just go with the flow.

"I love you Harry." Carla sighed smiling from ear to ear.

"I love you to Carla." Harry breathed not knowing if he was lying or not.

"Daddy…" Came a loud sniff from behind turning to the stairs sat his precious Olivia with fresh tears streaming from her glowing eyes. Harry automatically abandoned Carla and rushed to the other side of the room to gather Olivia into his arms and allowed her to cry. Carla pursed her lips having hated to be disturbed once again and sat down on the couch, her legs crossed as she reached out to take a cigarette.

"It's alright babe…Carla no cigarettes it's bad for the baby!" Harry scolded having seen Carla reach for the silver lighter she kept with her everywhere she went.

"Why don't you go to bed, this might take a while." Carla sighed obviously disappointed before taking up her jacket and keys, looking at Harry once more she smiled a goodbye and left.

Knowing what was bothering Olivia Harry tightened his hold on his daughter and carried her up the stairs and once again to his bedroom. Loud moaning sounds could be heard from Greg's room making Harry disgusted and amused at the same time. Waving his hand around his room he formed a sound proof charmed that kept out the bed yoga going on in the next bedroom.

"Livy….Livy dear it's alright." Harry cooed sitting down on his bed Olivia still in his arms as he began to rock her back and forth. If only Voldemort could see me now…Harry thought spitefully as he shook his head and continued to coddle Olivia.

"It was awful, he killed her…he killed her…" Olivia kept on whimpering as she clutched onto Harry's shirt for dear life and continued her sobs.

"Killed who?" Harry asked knowing he really shouldn't have asked

"She had our eyes…green eyes." Olivia kept on murmuring as her sobs slowly eased into light hiccups. Laying Olivia on the bed he went to the lavatory and obtained a glass of water, returning, he offered the glass to Olivia who was only more than willing to down the liquid. The water soothed her cries and eased her hiccups, and before long Olivia laid sound asleep in bed. Harry watched her sleep with a slight frown on his lips; he sometimes wondered why Olivia could see these things. He knew of his connection to the Dark Lord, but his visions were cured with simple potions. Olivia, however, was different…could it be Sonja? Was she a Seer? Shaking his head Harry quickly showered and dressed for bed before slipping into the clovers and fell in a somewhat sound asleep.

"Harry I see you…come to me Harry, imagine what we can accomplish together. You…me…the Wizarding word. No more hiding, you would no longer have to fear for your family, just say yes Harry…accept me!"

Harry's eyes flicked open, only when he tried to move did he realize he was bound to a chair by rope and chains. Looking straight ahead Harry came eye to eye with the one who put his entire life in hell. Glaring Harry spat at the Dark Lord's shoes, only earning him a mere chuckle.

"Harry, Harry, Harry…don't do this…come to me…be mine, I want you Harry." Voldemort breathed running one of his spider like hands down Harry's cheek making him shutter. The Dark Lord grinned at his reaction and worked down to the base of his neck only then did he pull away.

"I'm coming for you Harry…you just be ready, I'm going to take special care of you and that daughter of yours."

"Leave her out of this!" Harry spat finally finding his words as he fought the grips that bounded him to the chair, this caused the binds to tighten and him to gasp for air.

"Why should I? I think she'd like it here with me…" Voldemort grinned, gripping Harry's chin in his cold hands.

"Good bye for now Harry…" Voldemort whispered forcing his lips to Harry's making the boy squeal in anger and fright. With a wave of his hand all went black…

"NO!" Harry screamed shooting up in his bed, Olivia who had been sound asleep next to him was pulled from her sleep after hearing her father's sobs. Turning to her right she found her father huddled in a mess on the floor. Quickly sliding off the bed Olivia moved to the other side and gently brushed her father's hair with her fingers massaging his scalp as she did so. Harry's sobs stopped instantly as he masked his feelings, peering up at his daughter he gave her a gentle smile of gratitude as she sat in his lap and wrapped her arms around her father's waste. This was what Harry never understood about Olivia, she always seemed to read people's minds with vibes she received from their bodies, and he sometimes wondered if it was a bless or curse to his daughter…something he'd never ask in fear of the answer…

"It's ok Daddy, I'm here…" Olivia whispered soothing words Harry had once said to her in attempts to calm her. She sighed in contentment once she felt her father's body relax, following suite father and daughter fell asleep in each others arms that night, unaware of the dangers the following days would soon bring…
