New York City- 10:22

" Shh!" Sam chastised again as she stepped once more from the guestroom of their apartment.

" Ah come on Sam! We won! We got our angels!" Fred managed to whisper and still seem like he was shouting. She laughed, trying not to wake their 'angels' as Fred picked her up and spun her around.

" Come on Fred. Let's just get some sleep." She said once her feet were firmly planted on the ground. Kissing him she managed to wriggle her way out of his arms and drag him into the room they shared.

" Night Sam." He said when they were under the covers in the darkened room.

" Night Fred." She whispered back as he wrapped his arms around her waist and snuggled closer.

" Hey hurry up you two or you'll miss the train!" Sam called, shouting up the stairs.

" Sam relax. The bacon's burning." He called from the kitchen where he was reading the wizards paper, the Daily Prophet.

" Oh shoot!" Sam called, pointing her wand at the bacon, stopping it before it turned black.

" If you don't relax you're going to have a heart attack."

" Mom! Dad! Can we get a little help?" Two voices called down the stair in unison. Rolling her eyes, Sam collapsed into a chair at the table.

" You help them." She said, resting her head on her arms.

" Okay, try not to get into too much trouble."

" And if you do, just remind them how much trouble me and George got into." Sam hit Fred in the stomach.

" That's not what you're supposed to say!" Fred just laughed and wrapped his arms around his pregnant wife.

" Have fun, learn lots and try your hardest to stay out of trouble." Fred shouted at the window the twins were sticking their heads out of. " And stay out of the Forbidden Forest!" He called as the train started to move.

" Bye mum, dad! See you at Christmas!" The two waved out the window until it turned a bend and they lost sight of the station.

" Seems like just yesterday, it was me leaving and causing mayhem." Fred said, reminiscing.

" It was just yesterday." Ginny said, coming up on the couple. " Mom wants to know if you're coming by anytime this week. And Draco asked me to give you this." Ginny handed the two a box and then walked away to go home.

" Looks like everything worked out just perfectly." Sam commented, standing still as the station emptied.

" It did. Worked out better than planned." Fred agreed, before taking Sam and leading her out of the station and back to their waiting home.
