Chapter 13
"Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold
Now the floor of heaven's lain
With stars of brightest gold"
It has been two years since Alex was born, Rachel had came into view and Sirius and Anne had been married. One sunny morning in July Anne woke Sirius up.
"Sirius! Wake up! I've got something very important to tell you!!!" yelled Anne.
"What time is it?" asked Sirius groggily.
"9AM, but that doesn't matter right now."
"It doesn't matter?" repeated Sirius, now a bit more awake. "It certainly does. But tell me, what's so important you wake me up at this time?"
"I'm pregnant," Anne told him.
"You're what?!" asked Sirius, unbelievingly.
"I'm pregnant," repeated Anne.
"Wow! Now that's important enough to wake me up even at midnight!"
"If you're asleep at that time…" joked Anne.
"Well, yes…" Sirius stood up and hugged his wife. "Our third but first completely legal child!" chuckled Sirius, and he laid his hand upon Anne's abdomen.
"Now you mention it…"
A few months later
"Sirius, Linda's pregnant too," said Anne.
"Wow," was Sirius' reaction.
"You know our child's going to be born on October 31st, don't you?"
"Yes, why?" asked Sirius curiously.
"Their child too…"
"Oh really? Then that's the second time!" said Sirius.
"Now you mention it…"
October 31st
"Yippee, it's a boy!" Sirius yelled happily. He quickly wrote a letter to Remus:
Dear Remus and Linda!
Anne just gave birth to our son Christopher Arthur Black. We call him Chris (and
so do you!!). How 'bout Linda?
-Sirius and Anne.
Linda laid down on the bed, her two-hours-old daughter Stella Elinor Lupin upon her chest when Remus came in.
"Linda dear, Anne just gave birth to her son… er… Christopher Arthur Black, we call him Chris! Wonderful isn't it?" said Remus happily.
"Yes, it is," replied Linda, sleepily.
"Shall I lay Stella in her bed, so you can get some sleep, love?" said Remus, to which Linda nodded.
When Remus walked down the stairs, several minutes later, Luna was sitting under the stairs. Remus saw her crying and sat down next to her, with a hand upon her shoulder.
"Luna, what's wrong?" he asked the little girl.
"Is mama dying, papa?" she sobbed, Remus chuckled.
"No dear, what made you think that?"
"She was screaming so loudly and then she was suddenly very quiet," answered the still sobbing three-years-old.
"You know about mama having a big bulge on her tummy, don't you?" asked Remus gently.
"Yes, papa."
"That was a little baby, and she just came out of your mummy. Now you have a little sister," explained Remus.
"Can I play with her?" asked the girl.
"No, she first has to sleep and eat a lot," said Remus. And all other less wonderful things babies do, Remus thought.
"Papa, how did the baby come into mama's belly?" asked Luna eagerly.
"Well… er…" stammered Remus. "I think it's about time to have breakfast, isn't it, Luna?"
A/N: there are many things which I have to fit into this story, so I sometimes make huge jumps in the time.
No, I wasn't planning on writing more children in this story, although…
Anyways, keep reading and reviewing!!!
