Very Strange Twists of Fate

Chapter 9: New Discoveries And A Miracle

^&*Recap*&^

The doctor went into more detail, but Ginny couldn't concentrate. She felt like her heart was breaking, and she realized that she was about to faint. We need a Miracle was the last thought that went through her head, before everything went black.

          When Ivy arrived in the waiting room at the hospital, the sight stabbed at her heart.

          Katy was sobbing in Harry's arms, clutching to him like she'd never let go, the Munchkinz, who were usually so full of life, were crying, and clinging to each other, Katy, Harry and Ginny.

          As the others arrived, everyone was hugging and holding each other, seeking comfort.

When Ivy and Sirius finally reached each other, they held on for dear life. They may not have known each other from birth, but their sister-brother bond was very strong, and they were able to tell each other's emotions.

"Siri?" Ivy asked voice trembling.

"Yea Vee?" He responded, pulling his sister closer.

"I-I'm scared." She whispered, tears falling unnoticed down her cheeks.

"Don't worry. Everything will be alright. She didn't make the same mistakes you did." Sirius said, trying to comfort his crying sister.

"Excuse me?" Ivy asked, filling with rage.

~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&~*!^~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!&*~!^&*~!^*~!^&*~!^*&

"Screw you Sirius Orion Black! You stupid jerk!" Harry's head snapped up at the sound of his aunt's raged and distressed voice.

"It's not my fault you gave up Brody! You didn't have to!" Sirius screamed back.

"I did to Sirius! Our step-father" She spit this word out like it was poison "forced me to! What do you think he would have done? He already beat me and Lily! He would have killed Brody!" She screamed back.

"Then why didn't you let him take care of Brody?" Sirius demanded, spitting him out like a swear word.

"Because, you stubborn prick, he wouldn't have been able to take care of Brody!" She yelled back, her voice becoming choked.

"Stubborn prick? STUBBORN PRICK AM I?" Sirius roared, his temper getting the best of him.

"YES! YOU STUPID JERK! YOU GODDAMN STUBBORN PRICK! GO TO HELL!" Ivy screamed, turning on her heel and racing out of the room.

"SIRIUS!" Arabella and Kayleigh yelled at the same time.

"You insensitive jerk! Ivy's right! Go to hell." Kayleigh screamed, slapping him before going after her friend.

Arabella walked right up to him, and looked him in the eye. She saw not a drab of remorse, so she turned too, going out after her friends.

"Man, Sirius that was a bad move." Remus said, looking at Sirius with pity in his eyes.

"Shut up Remus." Sirius growled "This has nothing to do with you".

"But it has something to do with me." Harry replied, standing directly in front of his uncle.

"No it doesn't" Sirius replied, looking away from his nephew.

"Sirius Black, why on Merlin's green Earth would you make Aunt Ivy cry? And who is Brody?.....SIRIUS! Answer me!" Harry said, becoming impatient.

"Your aunt and I got in a fight Harry. And Brody is…Brody is…I have no right to tell you  who Brody is." Sirius said, remorse clouding his eyes, before he walked out to find his sister, his wife and his best friend's wife.

"Remus? Care to tell me who Brody is?" Harry asked, turning to the ex-werewolf.

"Uhm…no?" He replied timidly.

~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&~*!^~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!&*~!^&*~!^*~!^&*~!^*&

Ivy ran, sobbing through numerous corridors, before she finally collapsed against a wall.

She tried to push the memory of Brody away, but it just wouldn't leave her.

$#@FLASHBACK@#$

"Push one more time!" The doctor said.

"AHHHHHHH!" Screamed 15 year old Ivory Samantha Evans as she pushed one last final time.

"Congratulations Ms. Evan. You have a beautiful baby boy." The doctor said, handing her a tiny baby wrapped in a blue blanket.

"Brody." Ivy whispered, gazing down at her baby lovingly.

"Ms. Evans, you have a visitor. A Ms. Lily Evans. Would you like her to come in?" A nurse asked, when Ivy and Brody had been put in a room.

"Alright" Ivy said, not really wanting Lily in her room.

"REE!" 15 year old Lilia Kaleb Evans screamed, rushing to her sister's side.

"You stupid woman! I could have come with you! You didn't have to go through this yourself!" Lily said, her voice full of compassion for her sister.

"I know Lee, but it's just that…that I was hoping…" Ivy's sentence trailed off.

"That he'd be here?" Lily asked gently.

"Yes." Ivy whispered back, tears starting to fall.

"It'll be alright Ree. Don't worry." Lily said, hugging  her sister tightly.

"Oh do be careful!" Ivy exclaimed, realizing that they'd  crushed Brody between them in their hug.

"Aw! What a sweetheart! What's his name Ree?" Lily asked.

"Brody Sirius Evans" Ivy replied.

"After Dad and Sirius! I gotcha!" Exclaimed Lily, trying to make her sister smile.

"Um……Excuse me? Are you Ivy Evans?" Asked a voice from the doorway.

"Yes I am. Are you Maria Walsh?" Ivy replied, knowing what was going to come.

"Yes. This is my husband Phillip" Maria replied.

"Nice to meet you both. This is my sister Lily and this…this is Brody Sirius Evans. Well, Walsh now." Ivy said, holding out her baby to the couple.

The hardest thing in Ivy's life was watching as the Walsh's walked away with Ivy's baby, whom Ivy would never get to see grow up.

$#@END FLASHBACK$#@

"Vee?" Sirius asked, kneeling before his sister.

"C-Come to g-gloat some more?" Ivy asked between sobs.

"Vee…I'm sorry, I really, really am! I never meant to hurt you." Sirius apologized.

"Whatever Sirius." Ivy replied, not seeing the pain and hurt on his face.

"Ivory Samantha Evans! Look at me! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bring up Brody! I just thought that what I said would help you feel better about Harmony and Valerie!" Sirius said, forcing his sister to look at him.

"I know Si, I know! It's just…just that…It's just that I want to see him! I wanted so badly to watch him grow up, help him through the hardships of life. And all because of Jordan(her step-dad) I'll never get to meet him." Ivy sobbed, clutching at her brother.

"Sh…It'll be alright Vee. Don't worry." Sirius soothed, a plan forming in his mind.

~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&~*!^~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!&*~!^&*~!^*~!^&*~!^*&

"Remus! Just tell me who Brody is!" Harry yelled getting impatient.

"No, that's quite alright." Remus replied, knowing what would happen to him if he told.

"Why won't anyone tell me who Brody is!?!?" Harry practically screamed, getting very peed off about being clueless.

"Harry dear, relax. I'll tell you." Ivy said, coming into the waiting room.

"S-sorry Aunt Ivy, I just felt so helpless and Remus wouldn't tell me what was going on, so I just sort of got mad" Harry said sheepishly.

"It's alright. You get that from your mother's side of the family." Ivy said, smiling at her nephew.

"Alright. Brody…Brody is your cousin Harry. I had him when I was 15. Because my step-father used to beat me and Lily when our mother wasn't home, I had to give up the baby."

"Our mother never knew about Brody, but Jordan found out. He demanded that I give up Brody or he'd…he said that he'd k-kill him. I couldn't let my baby die because of my mistakes, so I gave him up for adoption to a young couple."

"Their names were Maria and Phillip Walsh. I'll never forget the looks on their faces when they finally got to take Brody. Maria couldn't have a baby, so they wanted to adopt. They got my Brody."

"They promised to keep his first and second names, but they did change his last name." Ivy explained.

"Oh Aunt Ivy…" Harry trailed off, lost for words.

"Harry don't worry. I'm alright now" She said, smiling gently at him.

"But Aunt Ivy-" Harry started, but was interrupted when Katy ran to great-aunt, hugging her tightly.

"Don't worry Aunt Ivy, you'll see Brody again someday" Katy said, vowing that she would.

          "Excuse me? Mr. Potter? Why are you here at the hospital? Are you ill?" Nosy Rita Skeeter asked.

          "That's none of you business Skeeter" Harry replied, starting to move his way through the crowd of reporters.

"Hello Mr. Potter! Name's Amanda Hinkle! Could you possibly tell me why it is that  you're here at the hospital?" Questioned a very cheery woman.

"No" Harry replied, trying to push past her.

"Dad. Just let me tell them" Katy said, sick of all the questions.

" Katy, you have to understand, that whatever you say, they will most likely turn into a lie!" Harry replied.

"I assure you Mr. Potter sir, that I will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!" Replied Amanda.

" Why should I believe that?" Harry asked, suspicion slowly starting to creep in.

"Because I'm not Rita Skeeter, and I don't use Quick-Quotes Quills!" Amanda said, beaming at them.

"Fine" Harry growled. "But, it's only what Katy says! Just the truth. Anything else, and I'll make you wish you'd never heard of Potter."

"Yes sir!" She said, mock-saluting him, which earned her another growl.

"Hmm…maybe we should go somewhere more comfortable? Hmmm…There's a park bench over there. Shall we go and sit?" Amanda said all this very quickly, before walking briskly over to the park bench.

"Alright now.  My first question would have to be why were you at the hospital?" Amanda questioned as everyone found a place to sit.

Without any further urging Katy launched into her story, telling her all about her babies and there conditions.

~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&~*!^~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!&*~!^&*~!^*~!^&*~!^*&

Headlines like: Is there anymore hope for the baby girls??, Potter's Endangered Again! And will they ever be better? Were all over the newspapers, updating on the twin girls progress(or lack of), telling of Katy and her daughter's story.

"Sleep now my babies,

Don't let your hurts worry you,

Just close your eyes,

Mama's watching over you

Lay your head down

My dears,

And Close your eyes,

Sleep will wash away your fears

Mama's watching over you,

I'll wipe away those tears,

My babies,

Just sleep my dears" Katy sang quietly, just singing what came into her head as she gazed at her daughters.

"Please God, let my babies get better" Katy whispered, her forehead against the glass as tears rolled silently down her cheeks.

"God will most likely answer your prayers" A gentle voice said from the doorway.

"I hope so" Katy whispered, never taking her eyes off her daughters.

"Kitten, are you alright?" Ginny asked, crossing the room to stand beside her daughter.

"Y-Yea" Katy said, looking up at her mother with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry. If they're anything like you, they'll live." Ginny said, giving her daughter a one-armed hug.

"Thanks mom." Katy said, resting her head on her moms shoulder.

"Excuse me? Katlyn Potter?" A voice asked from the doorway, interrupting their conversation.

"Yes, that's me" Katy replied, turning to look at the young woman and child in the doorway.

"Hello. My name is Brooke Willard. I just wanted you to know that all of us young mothers are hoping and praying for the recovery of your daughters. Many people have wanted to come and wish you all luck, and everyone has dubbed you three as KHVP. Katlyn, Harmony and Valerie Potter." Explained the teenage girl in the doorway.

"I went through something similar to what happened to you. My son" Here she indicated the 5 year old at her side. "Was born almost 4 months premature, and there was no hope for him, especially since he's lactose and tolerant. We all thought he would die, and I got lots of love and support from many people. We all want you to know that we are praying." Brooke continued, tears starting to form in her eyes.

" 'Cuse me Miss Potter lady? Me and mommy wanted you to have these." The little boy said, handing her a card, with many signatures, a dozen yellow roses and some candy.

"We know it's not much, but we hoped you'd feel the love and joy." Explained a sheepish Brooke, presenting two small teddy bears. "We also wanted to give Harmony and Valerie these" She said, explaining the teddies.

"Th-Thank you s-so much" Katy said, tears rolling unchecked down he face, as she embraced Brooke and her son.

And people continued to shower Katy and her daughters with gifts, hugs and anything they could think of to cheer her up.

Every day, at least one person would ask to see Katy. And, Although Katy loved the support, she needed time to herself sometimes, so they made up special visiting hours to visit Katy.

~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&~*!^~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!&*~!^&*~!^*~!^&*~!^*&

It was at her non-visiting hours one day, when a strange occurrence happened.

"Excuse me, but we're looking for Katlyn Potter, and we were wondering if you could tell us where she is" A young boy around Katy's age asked. The young boy was accompanied by another boy who was the same age and features.

The two boys looked remarkably like Katy to, except their hair and eyes.

The one who'd been silent had short black hair and dark green eyes with yellow rings here and there.

The other boy had short sandy blonde hair whit light brown eyes with rings of dark green and specks of golden yellow.

"Yes, you and every other person supporting KHVP in this world" Replied the woman at the front desk.

"But we're not here for KHVP, we're here for Katlyn!" The ex-silent one said.

"Mm hm" The nurse said looking over the two boys.

They were both wearing torn and blood spattered clothes and looked like they needed at least some medical attention.

"Boys, I think you need to see a doctor." The nurse said, ushering the boys into an empty exam room.

"Dr. Richards! Two young boys who look pretty beat up are waiting in your exam room." The nurse said to one of the passing doctors.

"Aw crap Nash! What are we going to do?" The ex-silent asked of his brother.

"I don't know Kent, I really don't know! They'll probably send us back to the Hall's, still not believing the Lyn story. God, I hate the Hall's! Maybe we should've talked to Doug. His mom is Lyn's adoptive aunt, and he probably met Lyn already." Sighed the first boy-Nash.

"Yeah, and Doug is part of our group thing." Kent said.

"Well hello boys! I'm Dr. Richards, but you can call me Kara." The female doctor, who'd interrupted the boy's conversation, was in her thirties, and seemed very nice.

"So, what are your names?" Kara asked, looking the boys over with her eyes.

"Doesn't matter who we are, we didn't come here to be checked over. We're here to see our sis- Katlyn Potter." Nash said, catching himself from letting out their secret.

"Hmmm……I see. Well, how about this: you guys cooperate with me, and I'll let you see Katlyn." Negotiated Kara.

"Alright." Nash said, after a quick glance from his brother.

"Now, what are your names?"

"Nash and Kent" Replied Kent, pointing as he named.

"Alright, now, how did all this happen?"

~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&~*!^~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!^&*~!&*~!^&*~!^*~!^&*~!^*&

"Mom! Dad! Guess what!" Katy shrieked, racing into the waiting room where her family was seated.

"What? What's going on Kitten?" Harry asked, sitting straight up in alarm.

"They're recovering! My babies are going to be alright!" Katy screamed, jumping up and down!

"Thank Merlin!" Harry yelled, while everyone hugged and laughed and squealed and just plain acted happy.

"Ms. Potter? You have some visitors. I know they're not supposed to be here at this time, but I'm afraid they wouldn't leave unless we let them in." Explained Kara, one of the doctors who'd helped take care of Katy when she was sick.

"Alright, thanks Kara." Katy said, beaming still.

"Lyn?" Questioned two voices from the waiting room doorway.

"Nash? Kent" Katy whispered, staring at the two boys before blacking out.
