time to continue.

Hermione awoke with strong arms wrapped around her. She smiled and turned around. Remus was still fast asleep. She kissed him softly on the lips. There she watched him stir awake. He looked into her eyes and smiled. "Morning." He groaned as he moved to yawn.
"We have a few minutes of peace. Estelle and Brianna will be awake any minute." Hermione said as she kissed him passionately.
"Mmm How about we lock the door and stay here all day." Remus sighed as he held her closer to him.
"No, I promised Estelle I'd take her around and do stuff today." Hermione sighed. "But I promise that I will take up on your offer." She smiled as then they heard the loud voices and pattering feet of their daughters. Estelle ran and jumped on the bed and squeezed herself between her parents.
"Morning Mommy and Daddy." She said happily.
"Mornings." Brianna said as she jumped up and down on their bed. Hermione laughed. Remus looked really tired. Estelle had told Hermione that Remus didn't sleep much while Hermione and Brianna were gone.
"Come on girls let's leave daddy here so he can get a good sleep ok." Hermione said as she slid out of Remus' arms and picked up Estelle. Brianna jumped off the bed and ran into the common room. Hermione turned to Remus. "Honey please get some sleep ok." She said as she kissed him and walked out holding Estelle.
Hermione and the girls dressed and walked down to breakfast. It was a nice Saturday morning. Estelle wanted to sit on Hermione's lap at breakfast. "Mommy can we get a dog?" Estelle said. "I asked Daddy and he told me to ask you." She said as she stuffed a piece of bacon into her mouth.
"I don't think so honey." Hermione said as she watched her youngest daughter stuff her face.
Libby walked into the great hall holding baby Sirius who was swarming in her arms. "He is getting to be a handful." She said as she sat next to Hermione. Hermione laughed.
"He's at the age where he doesn't want to be held." Hermione sat Estelle on Remus' empty chair. Estelle giggled. She always liked to see her dad sit on the big Headmaster chair in the Great Hall. Hermione picked up Sirius. "Hey Sirius, want some toast." She said sweetly as she handed him a corner of her toast. He began to chew it. She smiled and clapped.
"Hermione you are just so great with kids." Libby said.
"I just love to care for them." She smiled as Sirius bent and gave Estelle a kiss on the cheek.
"Funny baby." Giggled Estelle.
"Ma. . .Ma. . Ma." Sirius said as he reached his arms out to Libby. Libby took him softly out of Hermione's arms and held him.
"Harry hasn't been in our room." Libby looked down. "We barely talk now." She said as a single tear fell down her cheek.
"It's ok Libby." Hermione said softly. "How about you come with me and Estelle today. We are going to Hogsmede to just go." Hermione smiled.
"I'd like that, but I have to find something for James and Lily to do. I need a break and Harry . . .I don't know he just hasn't been much of a husband nor a father lately." Libby explained. "I know there has to be something wrong."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~**~*~*~*~*
Hermione and Libby walked around Hogsmedge with Estelle and baby Sirius. Libby explained how Harry hasn't been there lately and everything. Harry and Hermione were best friends, but lately it hadn't been like that. Hermione could see that Libby was a bit hurt, but in other ways there was nothing that she could do.
"It will all work out in time." Hermione said sweetly trying to help Libby.
"It really is fine. I have to be getting back because the kids will be waking up from their nap soon." Libby said as she held little Sirius and disapperating.
Hermione walked passed Cho's shop where she saw Ron and Cho together. Hermione was so happy that they were together. "Elly!" yelled little twin voiced. Jasmine and Justin ran out the shop.
"Hi." Hermione said she saw Ron and Cho walk out the shop together in fits of laughter.
"Hey Hermione." Cho said happily and she picked up little Jasmine.
"What's up Mione?" Ron asked.
"Well Remus needed to sleep and I promised Estelle I'd bring her out here." Hermione said.
"We were just leaving to head out for a family day." Cho smiled as she leaned onto Ron.
"Have fun." Hermione said happily. "Bye, see you guys later." She said.
"Bye-Bye." Estelle said happily as she skipped away with Hermione.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~
Hermione walked past the three broomsticks where she saw Draco and Lavender leaving together holding hands. There Hermione smiled, but continued to walk with Estelle. As they made it to the castle she walked Estelle down to the Dungeons where Ginny was sitting with her kids. Hermione and Remus had planned a night to themselves.
"Hi Elly." Ginny said.
"Hi-Hi." Estelle said happily. As she always did she looked at the jars of many things on the shelves. She giggled at many. She hopped around with her two little ponytails in her hair.
Hermione retuned to she and Remus' room where he sat reading a book. Hermione silently sat on the couch in his arms and he continued to read. She looked up at some of the pages as he read.
"Have fun today?" Remus asked as he read and ran his fingers through Hermione's hair. He kissed her on the top of her head and smiled down at his wife.
"Yeah. Estelle had so much fun." She sighed happily. She looked out the window as the snow fell. She closed her eyes for a moment. Many thoughts went through her head. Visions of past memories. The day she met Remus when she was only 13, the day she and Remus first kissed, the day they married, the day she found out she was pregnant, the day she had Brianna, the day she had Estelle. There a single tear fell down her cheek as she remembered the day Gale was born and the day he died. That date will always stay in her mind December 20th. She shuttered. Remus looked down at her. He saw her tears and held her close.
"It's ok darling. It's ok." He said softly.
"Oh Remus, It was all so wonderful and then." She paused. "Then it crashed." She looked out the window still.
"It didn't crash. We are still together and happy." He smiled at her. "Life will always go on. I used to sit and think why you loved me. Then I thought." He smiled and sighed. "Love Just Is whatever it maybe. Love Just Is you and me. Nothing Less and nothing more I don't know what you love me for, but love Just Is."
Hermione smiled and wiped away her tear. "You're right. Love Just is whatever it maybe."
