Chapter 21- Babies
Lily sat nervously on the limo with Carrie next to her. Today was Lily's wedding and she was a little nervous. She really had nothing to be nervous about since she was looking great on her dress and the church was really nice, but she couldn't help it. finally Marisa Evans appeared, telling her that she could come in. Carrie grinned at her and left in front of her. A few seconds later appeared Lily and Nathan Evans, arm in arm.
The rest of the wedding seemed to pass in a blur and the next thing she knew the priest was asking her if she wanted to marry James. Lily said "I do" while she stared into James's eyes and he did the same. A few minutes later Alex was in front of them, demanding to take a picture. Sirius appeared behind them, laughing, and Lily and James held each other's hand happily (A/N: who remembers this picture, raise your hand!)
Two months later the group was at the church once more, everyone wearing white. The three girls who were going to marry were absolutely ecstatic, and just a bit nervous. The already married couples were laughing happily, and Alex's stomach was already showing a bit. Sirius was slightly annoyed since everyone was asking him where were his relatives, and he when he simply pointed to his older cousin, Andromeda and her husband Ted, who was taking care of their four-year old daughter, Nymphadora, people would stare at him and leave. When the ceremony had already ended, Andromeda told them that Bella and Narcissa had married to Rodolphus Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy a week ago.
"So, Sirius, how are you liking life with Carrie?" Alex asked. Her belly was huge now and she could barely stand up. The Healers at St. Mungo's thought it was a matter of days til she had the baby.
"Great, although she get's a little annoyed every now and then."
"Don't worry, Siri. Oh!" Alex looked down and found her pants slightly wet. She glanced at Sirius, who was looking uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, Alex, I won't tell anyone," Sirius said.
"What? Oh, Sirius, I didn't pee in my pants, you prat! My water broke. Help me get to the fireplace, we have to go to St. Mungo's, and I can't apparate there. While a nurse attends me I want you to call everybody, okay?" Sirius stared at her blankly for a couple of seconds but led her to the fireplace. As soon as she appeared by the fireplace two nurses came to her and led her to a room. Sirius then apparated to Diagon Alley, where everyone was buying things for the baby.
"Jake!" Sirius shouted.
"What is it, Sirius? Where's Alex?"
"At St. Mungo's. Apparently her water broke, although I didn't uderstand what she meant. At first I thought she had- Hey, where are you going?"
"Sirius, you idiot, Alex is going to have the baby. Seriously, how can you be so thick?" Carrie said, smiling broadly as she apparated to St. Mungo's.
A few hourse later, actually it seemed more like a day to Jake, a nurse appeared.
"Mr. Perry? Your wife has just given birth to three beautiful boys!"
"Three? Boys? Can-can I see them?" Jake's eyes were filled with tears, and the nurse nodded and took them to Alex's room. She was lying there, with two of the boys in her arms and the third one on her lap. Jake rushed towards her and picked up one of them.
"They're beautiful, just like their mother," Jake said proudly. Alex grinned widely and all of the girls 'awwed' while the boys made gagging sounds.
"I think they look just like their father," Alex said.
"Yeah, yeah. So what are you going to name them?" Remus said, picking one of them up.
"How 'bout Sirius, Octavius, and Black?" Sirius said, girnning at the boys.
"Not quite, Sirius. I was thinking about Richard, Eric, and Luke," Alex said, looking at Jake, who nodded.
"That's great. Hi Eric, hey Luke, hiya Richard!" Jake said.
"Eric, Richard, and Luke Owens Perry. It sounds great!"
"Who's gonna be the godparents?" Peter asked.
"Um, Lily, James, Carrie, Sirius, Ellen, Remus, do you guys want to be? Esther, Peter, I'm sorry, maybe next time," Alex said.
"Oh, I'd love to!" Lily, Ellen, and Carrie said in unison. Sirius rolled his eyes and nodded.
Two year passed. Sirius, Carrie, Jake, Alex, Lily, and James completed their Auror training and became very busy. Jake and Alex had another child, a girl this time, which they named Vivian. Lily and James were confronted by Voldemort twice and they narrowly escaped each time. Ellen also became very busy, since she was a Healer. Esther had moved to Italy with Giorgio when she discovered she was going to have a baby. Remus was just as busy as the Aurors, since he was working for the Auror Department. The only one who didn't have too much to do was Peter, who was simply a herbologizer. Today, however, everyone was having a day off. They were all gathered at the Perry manor, which was completely safe.
"Vivian, give Mummy her wand right now! Luke, stop pulling Richard's hair! Eric, don't put that in your mouth, it's dangerous. Honestly, these kids are going to drive me crazy one day!" Alex said, putting Vivian on her lap.
"One day? I thought you already were crazy," Peter said, grinning.
"Not funny. I don't know how'll I'll be able to take care of them and fight with me pregnant again."
"You're pregnant again? Alex, when'll you close down the factory?" James said.
"I think she wants to beat Molly Weasley," Remus said.
"Really, Alex? Oh, this is so great! When is it due?" Lily asked, ignoring the boys comments.
"Uh, probably in the beginning of August."
"This is so perfect! Our children can play together!"
"Our children?" James asked, choking on his tea.
"Yes, James, I'm pregnant, and it's due for the end of July."
"Oh, this has to be planned. Carrie is pregnant as well," Sirius said, hugging Carrie.
"Molly is also going to have a baby. I can already imagine it, the four babies playing together!" Carrie said. Ellen looked gloomily at Remus and said:
"See, Remus, we're the only ones who still aren't parents."
"Ellen, dear, you know my condition, and-"
"Remus, lycanthropy can't be passed on! Why do you keep inventing lies and more lies?"
"Lies? Ellen, how will the child feel if his father is a werewolf? How will it feel when his father becomes a monster every full moon?"
"We'll find a way! Besides, Audrey said that the Healers in her section are making a potion that'll calm down a werewolf!"
"Ellen! Remus! Calm down, for heaven's sake! Look, I'm sorry I brought the subject up, but I didn't know your feelings about a baby. But I would like to say one thing, if you guys love each other as much as you say so, and if you'd like to have a child, fighting won't be the key to solving your problems. Remus, Audrey did mention that to me, she thinks that in a year or two the potion will be ready. Ellen, it's not the end of the world if you don't have a child now! Wait until Remus thinks he's ready, and it'll work out," Alex said.
Nine months later, the three women found themselves at St. Mungo's. Alex and Jake were already friends with the nurses, and were quite calm. Sirius and James however, were extremely nervous. They kept drinking firewhisky until the nurse appeared and told them they could go to their wives, who were all in the same room.
"Sirius, we had a little boy, isn't he beautiful?" Carrie held up a boy with black hair and grey eyes. Sirius took him and stared at the baby, grinning.
"Jake! It's our second daughter!" Alex gave Jake a little girl with tawny hair and hazel eyes.
"James, it's a boy! He looks just like you!" Lily said, and James got the baby boy. He had black hair and green eyes.
