(A/N: thanks you for your reviews, see that wasn't hard to wait a little bit longer and you worked out the dates right; though poor Severus doesn't believe a word Electra tells him. Story its taken so long to up date but I've been busy this week, with extra hours at work but its finally here. Anyway thanks again, and now on with the story.)

Early Delivery

Electra had taken up shopping, but not really for her but for the twins there wasn't that much time left and they hardly had anything because they had left it so late in getting everything. They still needed cots, some more baby clothes, toys and to decorate the room as well; and they were also still trying to think of names.

Electra had too much time on her hands now, she spent most of it shopping or seeing Tonks, considering that she couldn't see Sirius and Remus as often as she liked because they were at the school. Dumbledore had told her that she could also stay there with them because it was no trouble, which she did most weekends, but decided to stay at the house and try to get as much done as possible, which was made a lot easier because she could use magic.

Tonks went around to the house again, it was Friday night; she arrived in the kitchen but Electra wasn't there. So Tonks walked through to see if she was in the living but she wasn't there either, so she went upstairs she didn't really want to shout through the house, though as she walked along the landing and pushed open the end door she was starting to think that she should have.

"Hi Electra." Tonks said.

Electra had been stood on a stroll trying to hang a pair of curtains or seeing if she liked them in the room, Tonks wasn't so sure; but she ripped the curtains down as she slipped on the stroll.

"Oh are you alright?" Tonks asked rushing over, Electra smiled at her as she helped her straighten up.

"Don't do that again." Electra told her. "What time is it?"

"Oh I'm early, well just a little to make sure that you're ready." Tonks told her.

"Thanks, I just need to...do you think that I need to change?" Electra asked her as she looked down at herself.

"Well erm...that's up to you I guess." Tonks said, which Electra could tell that she was holding back.

"I'll just quickly change; I'll just be a couple of minutes why don't you wait downstairs for me." Electra told her as they walked out of the room and closed the door behind them.

Tonks went back downstairs while Electra went through to her bedroom, to find something to wear but most of her favourite clothes were all too small for her now, so she picked up the larger pair of trousers and a wrap over top and then her robe. She looked around but she couldn't see her shoes and then remembered that she had left them downstairs in the living room, when she had sat down to rest after gong around all the shops.

So she went downstairs and into the living room where Tonks was waiting for her, she sat down on the chair and pulled her shoes on.

"That was quick; I'm never that quick when I'm getting ready." Tonks told her.

"Yes I remember; I'm sure that Remus doesn't mind though." Electra said smiling.

"No he doesn't, he's so sweet and cared and everything." Tonks told her. "You would never guess that he was a werewolf would you? I mean part from the scars, but still you wouldn't have thought of a werewolf still would you, I mean its Remus."

"I know what you mean; it took me a while to get my head around it." Electra admitted. "But it doesn't bother me; it never has because he's my brother and I love him. But...does it bother you?"

Tonks thought for a moment before she answered. "You know I never thought that I would fall for Remus, or that who ever I fell for would be a werewolf, of course you don't think of these things, just like you and everything what happened with Sirius. But I do love him, I really do...but what's worrying me is him."

"I know what you mean, he never likes getting to close...he's afraid of hurting the people he loves." Electra said. "But in pushing them away he hurts them and him self...but this time with you I think its going to be different, I hope its gong to be different."

"Oh it's going to be different; I'm not letting him walk away even if I have to tie him up." Tonks said smiling.

Remus and Sirius were already at the Three Broomsticks and waiting for Tonks and Electra, they had been there for over half an hour, but they had gotten there a little earlier.

"So Moony, what are your plans then?" Sirius asked him as he put his glass down on the table.

"What do you mean, what are my plans?" Remus asked a little confused.

"You know what I mean, you and Tonks." Sirius told him. "What are the two of you, you know?"

"I'm not sure at the moment, I think that we're just going to see how it goes and then go from there." Remus told him. "But..."

"But what?" Sirius asked and then took a sip of his drink.

"I...well...I do want what everyone else has like you and Electra, but can I really have that even with Tonks?" Remus told him. "We've kind of talked about it but not in great detail; though I think that's because of me, I always seem to put it off."

"You're afraid of losing her." Sirius said. "Don't be mate, she likes you we all know that, and I think that even you do."

"That's just it, I can't give her everything that she wants." Remus told him, sitting up and leading on the table. "How can I? I change into a monster once a month, what if we do you know have children; there's always a possibility that they'll be werewolves."

Sirius just stared at him for a moment, this was new to him.

"I'll take that look that you didn't know about that." Remus said. "You know near enough everything about them, and you didn't know that, so that means that neither will she. How the hell am I supposed to tell her?"

"Tell me what?" Tonks asked smiling as she sat down next to him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Oh nothing important." Remus said quickly.

"You can tell me later then, back at your place." Tonks told him.

Sirius stood up and smiled at them all. "So what's everyone having?"

"I'll have my normal." Tonks told him.

"Well, I guess I'll have lemonade." Electra said. "It'll be nice when I can drink again."

Sirius and Remus both smiled at her as they got up and went to the bar to get the drinks, leaving them to talk.

"So what do you think they were talking about before we turned up?" Tonks asked her.

"Not sure, but if its that important I'm sure we'll find out soon enough, unless they're up to something then I'm not sure I want to know." Electra said smiling.

"I know what you mean." Tonks agreed.

The office was in darkness, part from a strip of light coming from the adjoining room; there was a flatter of wings and sheets being thrown back and mumbling as Severus got out of bed and walked over to the window where the owl sat waiting for him to take the letter off of him.

He took the letter off and the owl flew straight back out, Severus slammed the window shut not wanting anymore disturbances; he didn't sleep that much anymore so when he did get some he had to make the most of it.

He opened the letter, but it wasn't written in English but he could read it; but as soon as he had finished reading it he collapsed to the ground.

Sirius turned over and wrapped his arms around Electra pulling her into him and kissed her, she smiled to herself but didn't wake up, which he wasn't bothered about because she was with him and wasn't going anywhere. He just laid there for about ten minutes before she woke up him and smiled up at him, when she realised that he was watching her.

"Am I that interesting when I sleep?" Electra teased.

"Well no not really, but you are beautiful." Sirius told her,

"Well that's alright then." Electra said. "So are you coming with me today or are you taking Harry out?"

"I'm taking Harry out, maybe we could come with you." Sirius suggested.

Electra pushed herself up and smiled at him. "Don't be stupid he's a teenage lad he doesn't want to shop for baby stuff. Have a great day; the two of you desire it after everything."

"We'll do that then, can't say no to you now can I?" Sirius said smiling.

They laid in bed a little longer until finally they both got up with Sirius helping Electra out of bed she had gotten quite big, there wasn't much longer only a month or a couple of weeks depending on how you looked at it.

They both got dressed and then headed off, well Sirius went back to Hogwarts where he was going to have breakfast and then spend the day with Harry and friends and Remus; while Electra had a quick breakfast and then went to Diagon Ally to get started on the shopping and then come back early and put her feet up for a while.

Electra was walking down Diagon Ally there wasn't a lot of people here yet but it was early, give it about an hour or so and then it would be packed out as normal. She went straight to Madam Malkins robes for all occasions, she needed clothes for herself and she also had baby clothes on order to pick up as well.

She pushed open the door and the bell rang over head, a woman walked over smiling at her.

"You're looking lovely, any time now it looks like." She told her pleasantly. "That husband of yours shouldn't let you out of his sight."

"I'm fine thank you, and he's spending the day with Harry, and he doesn't need to watch me every minute of every day." Electra told her. "I can look after myself."

"Your pregnant dear, there's a bit of difference now." She told her.

"Thanks for the warning but I'm sure I'll be fine." Electra reassured her. "So have my things come in?"

"Yes they have, but you should have let me send them out to your house." She told her.

"I wanted to come out myself, and anyway it's only a few clothes, I'm sure that I'll be able to carry them without any trouble." Electra told her.

Electra sorted out the parcels so that she could carry them even though the woman wanted to owl them to her house, but Electra wouldn't hear of it because she was still capable of doing things for herself. She left the shop a while later and bumped into someone on her way out.

"Watch where you're going!" He shut at her, but she knew who the voice belonged to, she was quite surprised to see him here.

"You know you should really learn how to be nice to people." Electra told him pleasantly. "I'm sure that it wouldn't hurt either."

Severus turned round and saw her smiling at her, he hated that she was always so nice even to him after everything that had happened, but he also still loved her; or did he? Did he love her or that she was just something he knew that he could never have, so that was why he felt so strongly for her?

"So now the right welcome would be, good morning Electra, or just hello would have done." Electra told him, he smiled slightly showing how tiered he was. "Or maybe you should just go back to bed, have you even slept recently?"

"What? What is it to you?" Severus shot at her.

"See now this is what I'm talking about, someone asks how you are and you jump down their throat." Electra told him. "You need to relax and perhaps get some sleep."

"And why are you so concerned?" Severus asked. "It's not as though you care, you're with Black and saying that they're his, when we both know the real truth."

"Severus, we've talked about this." Electra said. "I love him, and he is the father. I'm sorry that you don't believe me, but it's true."

"And why should I believe you?" Severus asked her.

Electra looked at him, she was about to say something when she got an odd sort of pain in her stomach, she moved on the spot trying to get in a more comfortable position but couldn't. Severus just stood there waiting fro her answer.

"It doesn't matter, we've been through this more times then I'd like to remember." Electra told him. "I have thing's I need to do." And then there was another, this time she dropped one of her parcels and grabbed hold of her stomach.

"Are you alright?" Severus asked stepping forward. "You're not due yet."

"Don't you think I know that?" Electra shot at him, Severus smiled at her slightly.

"And you was telling me that I need to work on my temper." Severus told her.

"Funny." Electra said, but they both stopped smiling when she felt another pain. "Severus you don't mind taking us home do you?"

"No, give us them then." Severus told her, and she handed over her parcels.

They both disappeared and reappeared in her living room, Electra sat down on the sofa while Severus took the parcels upstairs.

"Just put them in the baby's room." Electra shouted up.

She heard he walking upstairs and in a couple of the rooms, and hers and then there was nothing, she wasn't going up to him to tell him; but she heard him move on to the next bedroom. And then headed back down, she tried to put her feet up but couldn't and then there was another shot.

"Severus!" Electra shouted.

Severus ran down the stairs and into the living room. "What is it?"

"I don't know, but they seem to be getting worst maybe I should go to the hospital or maybe you should get Sirius or Remus." Electra told him.

"I'm not getting them." Severus told her.

"Of course you won't, stupid of me to ask." Electra said. "Well at least if it gets any worst I'm going to the hospital, you at least agree to that don't you?"

"Of course I do." Severus told her, standing over her and looking around as though he was looking for something to do. "Erm...do you want anything?"

"Just sit down, unless you wanted anything...if you do you know where the kitchen is." Electra told him. "And try not to break anything."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Severus asked.

"The muggle things in there." Electra told him.

Electra sat there for about half an hour and hadn't felt anything else, severus had made him a cup of tea but had stayed as far away from the muggle things as he could; and was now watching her or pacing the front room. Electra got up suddenly so Severus rushed over to her.

"I'm going to the loo, nothing else." Electra told him.

"Right." Severus said, as sat back down as she went upstairs.

She didn't come back down though, Severus was looking around the room disliking it every second that past even more then the last; wanting her to come back downstairs. He finally stood up and walked slowly up stairs.

"Electra, where are you?" Severus asked her.

"I'm in the bedroom." Electra shouted, Severus went along and pushed open the door there was Electra laying on the bed. "Maybe I should go to the hospital."

"Why? Have the pains come back?" Severus asked.

"Well kind of, and because my waters have broke." Electra told him.

Severus just stood there staring at her, as she sat up.

"Can you pass me that bag behind you?" Electra told him. "And after I've got to the hospital go tell Sirius, please Severus."

But he never answered her.

They arrived at the hospital together, he wanted to go through with her but of course she wouldn't let him and told him to go get Sirius; he left not telling her again if he would do as she asked.

Severus apperated in the village scaring a couple of students as they past with his sudden appears, he turned round and walked straight over to the pub which was going to be his first stop and then the joke shop, he knew that he was going to be in either of those places.

He walked into the pub and door hit the wall, everyone looked up and over as Severus walked across the room and stopped at Sirius' table.

"And what do you want?" Sirius asked him as he looked up at him.

"Personally I don't know why I'm here, but Electra asked me to get you; she's at the hospital." Severus told him.

"What!" Sirius said jumping to his feet.

"It seems as though she has gone into labour early." Severus told him.

Sirius turned round and looked at Harry and his friends and Remus, Remus was already on his feet.

"So what are we waiting for?" Remus said, as Harry stood up as well.

"Can I come as well?" Harry asked him.

"Yeah course." Sirius answered. "We better Floo over there soon as."

They all walked past Severus who was still glaring at Sirius, not that anyone noticed of course because they were all excited about Electra having the twins.

Sirius stood up and sat back down, they had been waiting for over six hours and still nothing. Harry had just come back with something to eat for them both, when Remus was getting Sirius to sit down and to stay calm. They heard running down the corridor.

"Remus! Remus!" Tonks shouted as she ran up to them, she flung her arms around Remus and they both almost fell over while Harry tried not to laugh at them.

"We haven't heard much since we got here over six hours ago." Sirius told her.

"Well it can take along time." Tonks told him.

Harry was started to fall asleep, he head fell onto Sirius' shoulder, he looked down at him and then over at Remus and Tonks curled up together; shame. This reminded him of when they were waiting of news of Lily with Harry, but this time it was him who was going to be the father, and to twins.

It hit him for the first time, that he was going to be a father in no time at all, was he really ready and for twins as well?

The door opened at the end of the corridor, and a doctor walked out and over to them.

"Mr Black?" He asked.

Sirius got up straight away waking Harry who also jumped to his feet.

"Congratulations you have to healthy twins, a boy and a girl." He told him.

Sirius stood there for a moment, before he lunged forward and hugged him and then hugged Harry.

"Remus, wake up; I'm dad! I'm a dad!" Sirius shouted at him as he shuck him awake. "She's had twins, a boy and a girl."

"So I'm an uncle then." Remus said as he stood up. "My little sis, a mum."

"Do you want to go through to her?" the man asked them.

"Yeah course." Sirius said smiling and bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet.

They followed the doctor through, and went into the second room of the right; Sirius saw her straight away sat on the bed holding two bundles, he walked over to her and smiled at the three of them and then looked down at his twins.

"They're beautiful just like their mum." Sirius told her and then kissed her, Electra smiled up at him and as he lead over she rested her head on his chest.

"They were worth the wait." Electra told him.

"Of course they were." Sirius agreed as he sat down on the edge of the bed.

(A/N: well that's it for another chapter, sorry you didn't find out their names but I'm still not completely sure what to call them; but I'll figure something out, hopefully have the next chapter done soon.)
