Chapter 28

"And I will love you, baby, always

And I'll be there forever and a day"

Linda stood in the doorway of Rachel's room, seeing Rachel and Harry sleeping in Rachel's bed, both of them were naked. Linda saw pieces of clothes lying all over the floor, including an used condom. Rachel had woken up, and was looking at Linda.

"Thank God," Linda murmured.

"For what?" asked Rachel.

"I see you found out how to use a condom,' said Linda sarcastically.

"Well, we did now…"answered Rachel.

"What do you mean?" said Linda. Her eyes dwell from Rachel's face to her abdomen. "Oh my God…"

"Please, Linda, don't tell Anne, Sirius and Remus, we want to tell them ourselves," said Harry/

"Yes… alright…"

Linda went back to the living room, where the other three were sitting with the four children. Anne looked at the fishbowl, and sees the Atlantic Ocean lying underneath it. Alex sees his mother looking at the fishes.

"I watered the fished, mum!" he said proudly.

"You watered the fished??!" asked his mother in return.

"Yes!"

"Never, ever do that again, Alex!"

"I told you you shouldn't!" argued Luna.

Anne stands up and begins drying the floor. Chris walks to his father with the uncertain steps of a two-years-old. Sirius holds out his arms and picks him up.

'Hey little one. Have you had a nice weekend?"

"Miss you!"

"You missed me?" asked Sirius, the little boy nodded. "Were Harry and Rachel so bad then?"

"No, daddy, missed you!" said Chris.

"Hey Linda, you're very silent suddenly. How come?" asked Anne.

"Oh, well…" said Linda, and right on cue come Rachel and Harry into the living room.

"Yes?"

"N… nothing…" said Linda.

"Well, actually, there is something…" said Rachel. "But… can the other children please go outside then, because I've got something to tell you…"

"Alright," said Linda. "I'll take the children outside. Good luck, Rachel."

"Thanks…"

"What is it, Rachel?" asked Sirius.

Harry grabbed Rachel's hand very tightly, and said. "Sirius, Anne, Remus, hold on, because this can be very shocking…"

"Rachel, you're not going to tell me that you're…" began her mother.

"Yes, I am," replied Rachel.

"You're WHAT??!" asked Sirius and Remus, who both didn't understand anything of it.

"Tell them," said Harry.

"Alright," sighed Rachel. "I'm pregnant." Sirius caught Anne, who fainted.

"How long do you know?" asked Sirius.

"For about… two months, I guess."

"Sirius… you're going to be a grandfather," said Remus. Sirius turned pale.

"Yes," he said weakly, before he – also – fainted.

Even after a few hours Remus couldn't stop laughing, the image of Sirius as a grandfather kept popping up in his head. Linda, on the other hand, couldn't appreciate his hysterics.

"Just quit that idiot whining!"

"I… hihi… I… haha… I can't help it!"

"What's so funny?" asked Linda, irritated.

"Sirius, grandfather! Now that's something hard to imagine!" giggled Remus.

"Oh… it's just a bit odd that Sirius' youngest child is only two years old now, and he's about three years old when he becomes an uncle…" said Linda.

"Well… Rachel and Harry were very active!"

"Imagine that Luna comes over, say, eighteen years…"

"No. Way." Said Remus.

"What?"

"No way, I'll stamp that contraceptive down here throat!"

"Hey, you're really open-mined and consequent tonight, aren't you?" said Linda.

"I just don't like the idea of my youngest daughter…"

"Yes, I got your point."

A/N: did you like the twist? I hope you all didn't guess what happened? There's another, complete different plot twist coming up…
