AN: This will have several time skips showing 'snap shots' of life between Rosemary and Harry's birth.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lilly was not a happy camper. John and James were conspiring to keep her from going back to fighting. One day when Rosemary was 6 months old she asked Dean to take her and Sammy down to the beach. Once the kids were taken care she hexed her lovers to the ceiling and left in John's precious Impala. James was also unhappy that every time he tried to order Tizzy to take him to Lilly he activated a curse he and Sirius had invented that made him start singing show tunes. James asked John to talk to the elf but Tizzy was ordered by her lady not to listen to John in this unless Lilly's life was in danger.

4 days later when she finally returned both men were fuming. John ranted and cursed a blue streak. James gave her his father's patented disapproving face. Lilly was unempressed and unmoved by both reactions. She ignored them both and went up to the kids. She loved on Rosemary and kissed Dean before crawling in bed with Sammy.

James looked in on her curled around their little boy and sighed. "She's as hard headed as both of us."

"Yeah. But dam if I don't wish she wasn't some times." John replied sagging against James. He wasn't one to voice how worried he was for her. Ever since Lilly walked out the other day he had been having nightmares about Lilly being on the ceiling above Rosemary's beds. It was Mary all over again. He sighed heavily scrubbing his face. "I'm just glad she's home and safe."

James looked down at the shorter man. "Yeah I just keep seeing her like my Mom. Her and Dad were murdered by the bastards we are fighting 6 months before we met. That's one of the reasons we choose that time to come."

John looked up at him. "Mary." Was all he said. James nodded. He bent down and kissed John.

"She's safe and here with us."

"Now if you two can quite being macho jerks that make Sirius look smart everything would be fine." Lily said from the bed. "Now go to sleep before you wake the kids."

James chuckled. He stepped away from John and walked over the the bed. "I'm sorry. I know you are one of the most bad ass people I know. I love you so much." He said petting her hair. He leaned down and kissed her softly. Then kissed Sam on the head.

"Cuss like that in front of my baby again and I'll cut your balls off." She replied kissing him again.

John let out a low laugh. "Come on." He said hooking his fingers in the back of James' jeans dragging him out the room. "Good night Lilly. Don't scare us like that again... please."

Lilly fell asleep curled around the boy that she saw as her son with a smile on her face. She was glad to have proved her point and to be back where she wanted to be. She wouldn't sit on the sidelines like a house wife. But the moment that dark bastard and the yellow eyed prick that dared threaten her family were taken care of she was going to retire. Set at home like Fabian and Gideon's sister for a decade or so and do nothing but be a mom.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Rosemary's first birthday party was something else. Everything was going great Rosemary was all smiles and baby gibberish. That was until the first fire work went off. The noise or light one scared her and she let out a piercing wail.

Just at the height of her scream a second firework exploded. All at once magic burst from her for the first time. She threw everyone save Dean, who was holding her, to the ground. Dean didn't know what was going on, he thought they were being attacked so he grabbed Sam and drug him back into the house. He didn't pause or slow down till all 3 were locked in Dean's room. He put Sam in the closet then handed him Rosemary before standing guard outside the door.

Dean was recalling the time when he was 6 and the wife of a vampire Dad killed had tracked them down and tried to drain Sammy. Dean still had a 3 crescent scars on his upper arm from the crazy vamp puncturing his bicep as she yanked him away. He would do it again if it kept Sammy and Rosy safe.

John rushed into Dean's room. He knew his son that's where he would go if he was scared. Lily was right on his heels.

"Dean." Lily said coming to him and hugging him. "Where are your siblings?" She asked looking around for them

"The closet." John said. "The most defensible place."

Lily took Rosemary from Sam and helped him up. She spoke once she had all her babies in her arms. "You scared the daylights out of me when you ran off. I thought you were hurt." She told Dean looking him over for any damage.

"We were attacked." Dean replied. He looked down he didn't want his mom upset with him

"No baby. We weren't attacked. That was Rosemary. She's magic like me and James. When she get's scared it lashes out. Right now her magic is a baby too and doesn't know what to do so it accidentally hit all of us." She explained calmly. Sammy was silent. He had been told from a very young age that if there's danger he has to be as quite as a mouse.

"She's going to be a Wicca like the girls in my class?" Dean asked

"Yes." Lily said remembering that here in the States females born with magic were called Wicca while the demon dealing kind were referred to as witches. "She will be a Wicca. She will even go to the same school James and I went to." then more to her self added. "If it's safe by then."

It took over an hour to fully calm everyone. Dean was relieved to know he hadn't done anything wrong. James also showed Dean to the magical bomb shelter they made under the basement. Only close family could enter and it was heavily warded with every magic ward and hunter protection they could put on it. They told Dean if he ever thought they were in danger to head down there till one of them came and got him. Dean nodded. At Remus and John's urging they would run drills so that Dean knew just what to do and so that Sam would be less scared out of his mind if something happened.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Rosemary was crawling by 13 months and saying a few words by 16.

By two she was toddling around the house. More often than not with Dean or Tizzy on her heels to make sure she didn't bump her head.

Sirius near busted a gut when Rosemary called Dean 'bean because she couldn't make the hard 'd' sound yet. Calling John 'Ah was also hilarious in his eyes. The only name she got right was Sam. James about joined his Marauder brother when he learned that Sirius and Eeyore were said the same by the baby. James was in tears due to laughing so hard.

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

James was rushed to St. Mungo's in June of '89. He had been hit with a reducto to the back. It looked horrible. Like all the skin was peeled off him.

While he was recovering in America he also met Bobby.

Bobby thought (and only thought) James and John were cute together. But he just couldn't understand why an open, affectionate, suave, and warm man like him was with the prickly cactus, sourpuss like John. James was fascinated by Bobby's old bible, having never read the book before.

John was of the opinion it was 95 percent crap. James thought it was awesome and boring at the same time.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Christmas of '89 Lily announced that she was pregnant again. And this time it would be a summer baby.

ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

May '90 Dean graduated from primary school. That fall he would enter the hunters program at middle school. It was a series of classes added to the required core that taught the kids about more dangerous but 'age appropriate' monsters, and how to defend themselves. Offense for the most part was taught in high school. Lily was very iffy about shooting being an 'age appropriate' activity for an 11 year old. She would prefer her son to become a chef, or doctor, or even a lawyer. Hunting was dangerous.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Harry James Potter was born July 31 1990 at Potter Manor in England. He had dark hair and bright green eyes. He was a small baby.

The adoption made his face sharper, resembling James more but with Mary's cheek bones. His hair gained both James' 'sex' hair and some of Mary's curl, in other words it was a complete mess. Thankfully he got John's good vision. (being blind as a bat and a great seeker is an oxymoron) He also had John and Mary's height.

AN: Ending with the birth of Harry.

Next will be the prophecy, Harry's first year. And maybe the attack at Halloween.
