Chapter 26

Everyone returned home while Jackie, Remus, Tonks and George went back to the Lupin House to talk about what had happened, away from the stares of everyone else.

"Remus why did you go why did you leave me!" Tonks cried "I love you so much and you know I don't care what any of them think but you were not only going to just walk out on me and our baby but you were going to walk out on Jackie when she needs you the most" her face was still red, tears falling but yet her voice determined. Although she had forgiven him she was still hurt.

"Tonks I'm sorry I just hate doing this to you" Remus pleaded his voice pitiful, so full of sorrow and sincerity that Jackie could see right into all of her father's insecurities. "I'm a werewolf I make you, Jackie and now my baby be seen like outcasts I don't want you to go through that but I know now that I can't leave you"

"Remus I don't care about any of that they can say what they want I don't care as long as I have you I don't love them I love you!" she screamed her voice getting higher.

"Tonks calm down" Remus pleaded as he looked at her. Tonks sighed lowering her wand and starred at her husband she sat down and rested her hand on her stomach knowing that her husband was right she needed to keep her calm in this situation.

"Dad promise me you'll never do that again" Jackie cried as she looked at him. "It hurts me so much that you can even think of just leaving me like that I already lost one father and I I" Jackie stuttered her voice broken as her memories of losing Sirius took over she stumbled and fell to her knee's. George who had been stood back to let the family talk rushed forward and reached out for her.

"Jackie" Remus started to say as he walked towards her heartbroken at seeing her that way.

"I already lost one father I can't lose you as well not now I can't lose anyone else, my mother, dad and I don't want to lose you either. You raised me my whole life you took me in you didn't have to but you did I love you so much I can't lose you" she sobbed her body trembling.

"Shhh" George soothed as he took her in his arms and rocked her gently. Remus knelt down besides her putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Princess" he whispered using one of her childhood names "I'm so sorry Princess I love you so much don't cry please don't cry" and that's when George realised that Remus was now crying as well his voice trembling with emotion George reluctantly unwrapped his arms from his girlfriend and let her be embraced by her father's arms Jackie gripped hold of him tightly her face buried in her father's chest as the pair of them wept. Together they grieved her baby, her mother and Sirius her father and his best friend. Remus found himself thinking about Remus, James and Lily and wishing that they were there that everything was different. It would all be different if his best friends had never died. At that moment he swore that if it was the last thing he ever did he would keep his children safe if it was the last thing that he ever did. Jackie, Nymphadora and the baby meant everything to him and he would protect them until the very end.

It was one month later when Jackie returned to work at the ministry after taking extending time off. She wasn't sure how long she would even be working there for and she probably would have quit already but the Order needed as many people as they could still inside the ministry. That morning she arrived with Arthur who had called by the flat to collect her on George's insistence. Together the pair of them made their way through the Atrium trying to keep a low profile as they made their way to the lifts.

"Oh you know business isn't as busy in the shop but they are still doing quite well by Owl Order" Jackie was saying to Arthur as the lift door's opened.

"I'm surprised they haven't shut up yet" Arthur was saying he looked up and starred at Runcorn with pure distaste as he passed him and made his way into the back of the lift He broke off his conversation as Jackie followed sharing an equally displeased look at Runcorn while they glanced over at Reg rather concerned his wife was due in for questioning today. "Oh Hello Reg, isn't your wife in for questioning today? Try to have faith if theirs anything that Molly and I can do to help" he patted Reg's shoulder where it was wet and paused. Jackie looked at them.

"Don't tell me it's raining in Yaxley's office again" Jackie said shaking her head.

"Tell him to try an umbrella" Arthur said rolling his eyes. Just then the lift stopped and the doors opened and non-other than Percy Weasley climbed inside he appeared to not have noticed his father until the lift had started to move. He looked over awkwardly at Jackie and Arthur before looking back down. The second the doors opened again on the next level Percy quickly scrambled out.

"Well this is me see you at lunch Arthur" Jackie said as she looked at him and followed Percy out of the lift onto her level.

"Jackie" Percy spoke stopping her in her track as she was about to walk down her corridor.

"What is it Percy" Jackie hissed rather harshly she would not forgive him for how he had treated and hurt his parents and family she loved George and his family meant everything to her. She wasn't going to take his treatment of them lightly.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry you know for what happened" he mumbled looking down finding it hard to keep eye contact tears stung Jackie's eyes and she nodded at him before walking away down the corridor to her office.

Jackie hadn't been in her office for even half an hour when Arthur, Kingsley and Tonks rushed inside and shut the door, Kingsley stood guard and held his wand pointed at the door.

"What's going on?" Jackie asked confused as she looked at them.

"We are being tracked Jackie, that was Ron and Harry in the lifts" Arthur said his voice cracking at the mention of his youngest son and the boy that he considered his own.

"Yaxley and some others have gone after him we need to get you all out of the ministry you can't come back the second that they get back they are going to be coming after you all now that they know Ron isn't ill and that he's been here they are going to think that you played a part in this Arthur and Jackie with you being George's fiancée it's too much of a risk" Tonks said as she walked over to Jackie and helped her up from her seat concerned and wanting to get her out of there as quickly as possible.

"We must go now come on quickly and quietly we need to try and get you guys out unnoticed" Kingsley spoke he opened the door and checked that the way was clear before leading them out into the hallways and back towards the lifts to get them to the Atrium so that they could use the Floo to get back home.

Fred and George were shocked when the Floo in the office lit up they had been preparing to send off an owl with another mail order when the room had shone with the bright flames of the Floo and Jackie, Arthur, Tonks and Kingsley stumbled out.

"What's going on?" The twins asked jumping to their feet.

"Is everything ok?" George asked concerned.

"We need to leave now George we need to get out of here the shop the flat it's not safe" Jackie said as she grabbed hold of her fiancé.

"What's happened?" the twins asked looking at the four for answers.

"We are being tracked; Harry, Ron and Hermione have been at the ministry now that they know Ron isn't ill and that he is with Harry they are going to come straight after us. You guys need to come back with me now we all need to go back to the Burrow where the wards are strongest and where all of us together will only make the wards stronger" Arthur told his sons. Fred and George gasped at the news of their brother's appearance at the ministry but sensing the panic in their father's words, Jackie's face and the presence of the other Order members including Kingsley who had taken over leadership of the Order since Dumbledore and Moody's deaths.

Fred quickly took the parcel from the owl putting it away and scribbled out a frantic message to Jessica at St Mungo's telling her to go straight to the Burrow that evening by Floo when she finished work. George locked up the shop and grabbed Jackie's hand before they rushed upstairs to grab as many belongings as they could before they would have to leave.

The group where about to leave when Jackie stopped and rushed back to the bedroom she shared with George. George followed and reached out to her finding her bent over a picture of the Original Order of the Phoenix she wiped away a tear before taking his hand and following him back to the Floo.

"Fred, George, Jackie, Tonks, Kingsley? What are you doing here? What are you doing home Arthur?" Molly gasped with concern as they all arrived by Floo. She was about to ask more questions when Arthur threw his arms around his wife and held her tightly stopping her in her tracks.

"I will be going now to find Remus keep safe won't you all of you" Tonks said as she looked at them and walked over to Jackie.

"We will tell dad I love him" Jackie said as she looked at Tonks and then touched her stomach softly. "I love you all" she smiled as she rubbed her hand against her stomach. Tonks smiled.

"We love you all too" she said and with that she walked out of the door to the edge of the Burrow through the wards and apparated. Jackie sighed as George wrapped his arms around her.

"So much for your first day back" he whispered.

"Yeah" Jackie replied. "Will you two be ok?" Jackie asked looking at George and then to Fred.

"Us yeah of course" Fred smiled.

"But Ron" Jackie whispered.

"Ron will be fine, so will Harry and Hermione, they got away didn't they" Fred said.

"Yeah but" Jackie began.

"No buts they are fine we would know by now if they weren't" George said as he wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly against him, seconds later she felt a second pair of arms wrap around her.

"Fred" Jackie laughed as she looked up from her position sandwiched between the two Weasleys.

It felt like a lifetime to Fred before Jessica arrived by Floo. Fred jumped up from his seat at the table beside his twin and engulfed her in his arms.

"I love you" he whispered showering her in kisses. "I really love you"

"Oh Fred" Jessica whispered as she held him tightly. Fred closed off the Floo network knowing that they must now keep it locked.

"So no more work for a while then" Arthur said as he looked at the group.

"Oh Arthur what are we going to do" Molly cried.

"We will get buy all of us" Arthur spoke.

"We can carry on by Owl order" George and Fred spoke. "Plus we have enough saved up now to support all of us"

"And I have plenty for us to use. I took a lot of it out of Gringotts some weeks ago preparing for the worse" Jackie said, using Bill's warnings she had gone to Gringotts and took as much as she could from the Black vault.

"We couldn't ask that of you" Molly said as she looked at Jackie.

"Nonsense I'm family now" Jackie said as she smiled at Molly and got up to hug her.

"She's right Mum" George smiled as he walked over to them and hugged them both tightly.
