Coming Together
By Lady Lupin
Chapter Four: Reunion of Five
Lenora opened the door and there on the other side was one of the men she had seen in Anya's vision. With him, the Grim.
"R..R..Remus!" She threw herself at the husband she hadn't seen in fourteen years. He caught her around the waist and kissed her passionately. She could feel the years of his mourning in that kiss and she knew he felt the same thing coming from her. They broke apart, and she could see tears in his eyes. For a second they just stood there, holding each other. He was whispering.
"Lenora, my Lenora, I can't believe I've found you. I've missed you so, I love you more than anything." She smiled through her tears and kissed him again.
"Sirius Lee Black! You transform back this minute!" Nyah yelled at the huge black dog. Instantly Sirius was standing there, with tears in his eyes.
"Nyah.." he looked lost.
"Oh shut up and kiss me you git!" She told him laughing and crying all at once. Sirius took her in his arms, kissed her deeply and held her tight.
He was mumbling as well, "Nyah, oh Nyah, I am so sorry, I've missed you. Life has been hell without you." She laughed at him, and ended his mumbling with another deep kiss. They all stood in the doorway for about five minutes, just being together. They eventually switched partners, Nyah and Remus hugged, while the long separated Black twins reunited. Soon they migrated to the living room where the couples sat and talked.
"I cannot believe you two are alive. Everyone was so sure you had died in the building. I'm so glad you are both okay." Remus said, sitting in a chair with Lenora.
"Yes, I think we all are. But here's the big question. How in the WORLD did you survive?" Sirius said, looking at his twin and long (loonnng) time fiancée.
"You really want to hear the whole story?" Nyah asked. Both men nodded. So the two witches explained their story for the second time that day.
"That is actually very simple," Remus said after they finished. "And all of you survived?" Remus asked anxiously. Lenora nodded.
"Well, then where is, well where is Anastasia?" Remus asked nervously. Lenora smiled warmly and kissed his cheek.
"Hopefully watching dinner in the kitchen. I'll go get her." She left the room. Remus hopped up out of the chair and began to pace.
"Moony, calm down!" Sirius said, looking up from Nyah (who he had been quite busy with a moment before).
"Ha! I'd like to see you be calm. It's not everyday you meet the daughter you thought was dead for fourteen years." Remus said shortly. Nyah snorted, but wouldn't answer the men's questioning looks.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Mum! Mum, is it them, can we meet them, can we at least leave this hot kitchen?" Rom asked as she walked in.
"Yes it is them, yes you can meet them, but no you cannot leave the kitchen for a while." She chuckled.
"You however, have been requested in the living room." She said turning to Anya, who gulped, as the boys protested.
"Hey, what about us?" Rion demanded. Lenora smiled.
"Remus and Sirius don't know about you, and we were talking and Anya came up. Remus is nervous, imagine thinking you daughter and wife are dead for almost fourteen years, and then all of a sudden you find they are alive. Give us some time to tell them gently." The boys mumbled a bit, but understood. Lenora walked out, followed by a hesitant Anya.
~~~~~~~~~~
They walked into the living room, Anya close behind her mother. She looked over the men in the room and realized with a start that the man with brown hair had her eyes. Or rather she his. And the other man looked remarkably like her mother, only male, of course. They both looked at her with pride and love and Anya became much less nervous.
"Anya, this is my twin, Sirius, your uncle." The man she had seen in her dream had changed somehow. His eyes were much less haunted, though they still had reminisce of long suffering pain. At the moment he looked very happy.
"My niece, you are very pretty. And you look so much like your mother. But hopefully you inherited my sense of humor, or at least Remus'." Sirius said, with a twinkle in his eyes. She smiled at him.
"Well since I have a sense of humor, I assume it's yours, since mother doesn't seem to have one." Sirius smiled in delight and gave her a hug. She returned it, feeling complete ease with her uncle. Her mother put her arm around her and turned her towards Remus.
"Anya, this is you father, Remus." Lenora said somewhat nervously. Anya looking into the eyes that were exactly the same as hers and realized that she already loved him, from somewhere deep inside. Then a vision flashed without a warning.
~~~~~~~~~~
July 31st 1981
"Come on Anya, honey, you can do it, say Dada!" Remus held the nearly one-year-old girl at Harry's birthday party and tried to get her to talk. Her mother looked over and smirked.
"Anya, say Mama," Lenora said coaxingly.
"Mama," the baby girl gurgled. Everyone but Remus laughed.
"Hey! How come she'll listen to you but not me?" He demanded. Everyone ignored him.
"Anya, say Sirius." Sirius told her, plucking her out of Remus' arms.
"Siwes!" Everyone but Remus roared with laugher.
"Ok, ok, let me try." James said. "Anya say James,"
"Wames!" Again they all laughed (minus Remus). Soon Anya was saying anything that was said to her (Lily, Hawwy, Nywa, and Petah). But no "dada", everyone thought it was hysterical, except Remus of course.
"You know Moony, I think your in trouble, she seems to have gotten my sense of humor!" Sirius said handing the baby to Lenora. Remus was about to tackle Sirius when Anya spoke again.
"Moony!" everyone laughed and Remus scooped her up out of her mother's arms and swung her around the room.
"Hey, saying my nickname is even better!" He grinned.
~~~~~~~~~~
Anya jolted out of the memory. She was confused and lying on the couch in the living room.
"Mum, what happened?" she said looking around the room. Lenora rushed over.
"Well dear, you fainted right after you looked at your father." She said nervously.
"It was weird, I looked into his eyes and then I had a memory I've never remembered until now," Sirius and Nyah walked over hand in hand, but her father stayed on the other side of the room.
"Mum, it must have been a vision, because I saw what I think was Harry's 1st birthday party. You, Nyah, Sirius, and father were all there. I was a baby and there were three other people I have never seen before. One was a woman with red hair and green eyes, holding a baby that was probably Harry, a man with messy black hair and hazel eyes and a man with sandy hair and gray eyes, and he seemed rat like, somehow," They all paled.
"Lily, James and Peter, those are the three you haven't seen before." Sirius said running a hand through his slightly (ok, extremely) scruffy hair.
"What was going on in the vision?" Nyah asked.
"Well, dad was trying to get me to say dada, but I wouldn't say anything that had to do with him, but I would say other things that you all asked me to say. Then I finally called him Moony. And the vision ended." She said looking up at them. They all looked surprised.
"Yes, that was Harry's first birthday. We all had a big party. If I remember, that was when James and your father first brought you two up on broomsticks. Lily, and I were, to say the least, not to pleased. You and Harry got along quite well, as I remember, even for one year olds." Lenora said sadly.
"This vision thing is very odd. But it is cool to be able to see things I normally wouldn't remember." Anya said, thoughtfully. Then she realized something. She got up off the couch and headed over to her father, who was at the moment dosing in a chair.
"I hope you don't think I fainted because of you, it's just that your eyes triggered a vision," she explained, he jolted and looked at her. He smiled.
"I understand and heard, that birthday party was one of the last times we were all together and happy. I was so proud, you said my nickname first. Although I wasn't to happy to find that you seemed to have Sirius' sense of humor." He said with laughter in his eyes.
"Is the reason you are Moony because you are, well a werewolf?" she asked tenderly.
"Yes, but how do you know?" he asked, humor leaving his face.
"Mum told me because I had a vision of you, Sirius, Harry and people who we think are his friends. So she told me what happened to her and Nyah and why I am a Seer." She said slowly. Remus grinned.
"So the old saying is true, a werewolf and a healer combined produce a Seer, I told you so Sirius." Remus laughed.
"Yea well you had to be right once in your life, Moony." Sirius told him, winking at Anya.
"Well, I am glad you are a werewolf, because other wise I wouldn't be a Seer," And even surprising herself, Anya bent down and hugged her father tightly. He looked stunned, but happy.
"You know this may be the first time I'm happy about it as well," Remus said with tears in his eyes. Lenora was looking at Nyah thoughtfully.
"What do you think Ny, can they handle two more jolts?" She asked mischievously. Nyah's eyes lighted up in anticipation.
"I don't know, they seem awfully weak," Nyah said, pretending to think hard. Remus and Sirius looked back an fourth from Lenora to Nyah curiously.
"Tell us!" Sirius begged, sounding a lot like he had in 5th year. Anya cracked up, because she knew what her mother and aunt were talking about.
"We can handle it, we are NOT weak!" Remus said indignantly. All three females smiled the exact same smile (Anya inherited it). Remus paled a bit. "Uh oh Sirius, that's the Minx smile. This could be bad." He stage whispered to Sirius.
"I don't care Moony, I want to KNOW!" Sirius said stubbornly. Lenora sighed.
"Whatever you wish oh MIGHTY Grim!" She, Nyah and Anya hurried quickly towards the kitchen.
~~~~~~~~~~
"So, Padfoot, what do you suppose the surprises are?" Remus asked casually. Sirius shrugged.
"Who cares, it's not like it can be as shocking as finding out that our wives are alive. And Anya of course." He was looking around and his eyes landed on the mantle. "Moony, come look at these. I think I could be wrong." Sirius commanded in a surprisingly shaky voice. Remus walked over and starred at the pictures there. There in the middle, most prominent, was a picture of three teenagers on broomsticks. One of them was Anya. Someone who had obviously been on a broomstick had taken the picture. This was not the odd part, the odd part was that on either side of Anya was a boy. The boy to the left looked just like Sirius and the boy to the right was a Remus look a like, except with blue eyes. They were grinning and waving up at them.
"Padfoot, this couldn't mean what I think it means," Remus said worriedly.
"Remus, it certainly looks like it, how else could we explain it?" Sirius said just as worriedly. Just then Lenora, Nyah, and Anya walked back into the room, and behind them came two additional people.
~~~~~~~~~~
Romulus and Orion had been playing Exploding Snap when Nyah, Lenora and Anya walked into the kitchen. Both boys jumped up, causing the card tower to explode.
"Mum, we've been in here for two hours. I want to meet them!" Orion whined. Romulus nodded in agreement. The three smiled.
"You two are allowed to leave. But you must be quiet and stay behind us until we finish explaining. Remember, they will be slightly shocked, to say the least, it's not every day you gain a thirteen year old son." Nyah said sternly. They agreed happily and everyone trouped back towards the living room.
Once they got there they saw Remus and Sirius standing in front of the mantle, looking at the pictures there. Lenora and Nyah exchanged a worried glance before speaking up.
"So you found the picture gallery. They are pretty nice, don't you think?" Lenora asked. Remus and Sirius nodded numbly.
"Look, we have something to tell you and it's pretty shocking. We aren't too sure how to put this delicately." Nyah said slowly.
"Do you remember back before we left that Nyah and I had been sick and we thought it was just a bug?" Lenora picked up. Again they nodded.
"Well it wasn't a bug. It was morning sickness. As in pregnancy." Nyah continued.
"And these two boys are what came of it." Lenora finished. She and Nyah pulled their sons forward, who had been uncharacteristically shy.
"Remus, Sirius, may we have the pleasure of introducing your sons. Romulus Lupin, and Orion Black." As Nyah said this Remus and Sirius collapsed on the floor.
A/N: Right, I think they may have been a bit out of character, but then, we've never seen them act like this in the books, so how would we know? As my muse Tim keeps saying, 5 more before I post again. Oh, and apparently my friend Ax and I will be arguing about chapter posting for our stories, so all of our readers better be patient. Hope you liked it and please review!!
