Scorpius' POV

It had been more than four months since his children had been born, but Scorpius had yet to go and see them. His parents had sent him regular photographs of the twins in various everyday situations: baths, feeding, smiling, and playing. In a way he knew them to perfection, but he needed to meet them. More importantly, he wanted to feel them against him. He already loved them, but he was selfish and immature. It was taking every ounce of will power to Apparate in front of the house that brought back a lot of bad memories.

The big entrance asked him his business and still remained closed. Scorpius called again and this time he was let into the house. The cursed and grumbled all the way to the entrance. They couldn't keep them away from his children! And just because they had an issue in how he had handled the situation since the beginning that didn't mean he didn't want to be part of their lives. In he was being honest with himself and everyone, he had been excited the second he was certain Lily was expecting his ichildren/i. Cass and Helios was something that belonged to them and as creepy as it sounded, he couldn't think of anyone he would love to share them with. Lily would be his one and true love, but it was time to move on and seek something better for himself. He couldn't dwell on the past. The only thing that was left for him was to find a suitable replacement and get on with his life. He knew it was going to be very difficult, but he owe it to him and his children to do it.

An eager house-elf opened the door for him. Scorpius didn't know how the creature could do the action while bowing like a madman. Then again, house-elves were odd little creatures that lived to serve wizards. He had stopped trying to understand them a long time ago. One thing he had to recognize was that they were fiercely loyal and useful.

Scorpius smiled at the creature, "Where are the children?" the creature beamed and signaled him to follow him.

"This way, mister. This way," the house-elf practically skipped all the way to the stairs and continued climbing them. The creature looked over his shoulder to make sure he was being followed by Scorpius. The tall blonde could hear his footsteps resonating through the house. It seemed Harry wasn't home, because if he had he was sure he would have come out of his office to see who had arrived. It was better this way. He was somewhat afraid of the legendary wizard.

The house-elf opened the door to the nursery and he took a deep breath. The room smelled like heaven. His children's baby smell had permeated every empty space. He smiled and let the breath out. He came in silently and peaked over one of the cribs to see his daughter asleep. In that instant his heart clenched. She was the most perfect thing in the whole world. His anger and resentment disappeared in the blink of an eye. His heart had been filled with the unconditional love that swept him like a big wave. There was no more room for anything else now. He was in love.

Scorpius delicately caressed the blonde fuzz that was on top of her head before heading to the crib that served as his son's sleeping cave. He grinned as his grey eyes saw the dark fuzz of hair on him. The twins were as different as their parents. He leaned down and placed a kiss on his sleeping forehead. A big smile was plastered on his face. The blonde former Slytherin couldn't even think about their mother had done to him. That was part of the past and they were his present and future.

He slid her hand to her jacket's pocket and touched the cold metal that had been there for a few days now. He actually didn't know why he had kept it for so many years. His internal musings were interrupted by a cough coming from the door. He looked up to see Lily watching him with her green eyes full happiness and excitement that he had never seen before.

"Thank you." He was sincerely grateful for the gift she had given him. He smiled at her for the first time in a long time. There was nothing else he wanted to say to her now. She had made her choice, and he would be fine with it. The only thing he wanted now was to be part of the twins' lives.

After a few minutes of silence between them, Scorpius spoke up, "I am sorry about being a jerk." He nervously messed his hair and looked down at the floor. He had been an awful person by leaving Lily to deal with everything because his ego had been hurt. "I hope you will let me be a part of their lives."

Lily's reaction took him by surprise. She slowly walked to where he was standing between the two cribs and she kissed him. Scorpius didn't react right away, but after a few seconds he slid her arms around her waist and matched the love and passion he was receiving from her.

His mind was jumbled with too many emotions that were going through his body right now. He was confused, he was happy, he was excited. Scorpius was elated to a whole new level of happiness. It was too much. He didn't want to break the kiss, but he needed to.

"Lily," he slowly and tenderly moved a tendril of her beautiful red hair from her face. "I love you." He smiled in response to her smile.

"I love you, too." Lily slowly moved the back of her hand through his cheek. "I am sorry for everything"

There was a small part of his brain that was violently prodding him to stop being such a pushover. Trying to make him remember everything he had gone through thanks to Lily. It was becoming a painful prodding, so Scorpius just squashed it like an insignificant bug. Regardless of what happened between them, they had something that would bond them forever and that was something he couldn't really ignore. He was here trying to amend his mistakes to his children, but life had thrown him a curve ball. It appeared that right this moment, this instant; he was getting everything he had always dreamed of. Though he had thought that the children part would come along when he was a little bit older.

The platinum blonde wrapped his arms around Lily's waist and spun with her. "Do you really mean it?" He beamed at her response. She was smiling at him like he was the only person in the world.

"It took a while for me to realize that the only person I ever needed was you. But since we were in school you were always there for me no matter what and you made me fall in love with you. I just was too stupid to see it before." Lily had been pleasantly surprised to see Scorpius in the children's room. She had almost given up hope of him wanting to see them. It had been three months since she had given birth to them, and honestly her hope had begun to dwindle a little bit. It was hard to believe in someone that she had constantly kicked and bruised. Sooner or later that person gave up and never returned. Thankfully this hadn't been the case.

He smiled and kissed her once again. This was more than he had expected when he entered her house.

FOUR MONTHS LATER

This was the first time Lily had gone out in public after giving birth. It had been a lengthy process of her body and soul healing after so many things. Her whole pregnancy had been an ordeal, but that was thankfully part of the past. The only thing she needed to focus now was the future and that was her children.

She had gone out to Diagon Alley for a fitting of baby robes for the kids. They needed them for some upcoming events. She smiled as her 8-month old squirmed in her hands. The twins had grown a lot. She sighed in contentment as she sat down to rest her feet a little bit before heading back home.

"Well, well. Isn't Lily Potter and one of her bastard children." Lily looked away from her son as soon as she heard that awful voice chime. She glared at the woman in front of them.

"What do you want, Lynn?" she asked in a threatening voice. Lily clung to Helios that was obliviously unaware of what was happening in front of him. "You aren't supposed to be in England."

Lynn took a few steps closer and patted the baby's head. "I came to see my parents." Lynn had been exiled by the Malfoy family, but after a few months of living alone in Scotland, she had been home-sick. "How is single motherhood treating you?" she asked with malice in her voice. She was still angry at Lily for stealing everything she ever wanted. Besides, she felt the need to rub Lily's misfortune in her face. At least she wasn't alone in her misery.

Lily got up and stepped away from her. She didn't want that trash touching her son. "Better than you would have expected," she smiled smugly at her enemy. She was about to say something else when the voice of a man interrupted them.

"Lil," Scorpius said inquiring. They were supposed to meet at this place. Cassie was leaned on his shoulder. "Lynn," he said narrowing his eyes and moving closer to his family. "I see you have already said hello to my wife," he said with a smile on his face.

They had gotten married a few months ago. Neither one of the wanted the big wedding, so they had gotten married in a small ceremony with their family and closest friends. It had been better that way. They had gone through so much that keeping it low-key had been the best way to go.

Lily smiled smugly as Lynn's horrified expression. Served her right. The girl had endangered her and her children, and she didn't hex her because she had matured a lot since she became a mother. "Good to see you, Lynn." Scorpius wrapped an arm around his wife's waist and began walking away from the poison that was Lynn Zabini.

Love hurt, but the outcome of getting over it was priceless.
