Sorry for the long wait guys! But here's chapter 2. Please enjoy and leave feedback. Thanks!
After dinner that evening Jade, Molly, Arthur, Remus, and Tonks were sitting around chatting away. It was keeping Jade's mind off Sirius for once. Jade watched the kids play Quidditch in the yard since it was still daylight outside.
"So do you think you should say something to Anna?" Remus asked Jade breaking into her concentration on the kids.
"I tried." Jade said. "I just don't know how to tell her."
"Sit her down and tell her." Arthur said. "She needs to find out from you before finding out from anyone else. I'm sure she's been approached by her fellow students about her last name."
"She's never said anything about that." Jade said.
"There's a lot she doesn't tell you, Jade. That's why they call them teenagers." Tonks said.
Jade looked over at her daughter. She wasn't sure if now was the right time to tell her anything. She wanted to see Sirius first before she told Anna anything about him. She wanted to get her anger out that she had been locking up since the first time she read that he had escaped.
"What doesn't she tell me?" Jade asked looking at Tonks again.
"Well like the fact that she likes a certain someone." Tonks said.
"Like who?" she asked.
"I can't tell you that. I was sworn to secrecy." Tonks said smiling.
"Oh come on. You know who my daughter likes and I don't. What gives? We tell each other everything." Jade said. "Geez! If I knew teenagers were this to themselves I wouldn't have had kids."
Everyone laughed.
"Think about when we were teenagers. Your parents were exactly thrilled with you not telling them everything." Remus said.
Jade smiled at the thought. She did give her parents a hard time, but at least she knew who her father was. The thought of Sirius came into her mind once again. 'Get him off your mind!' she scolded herself. The sun was setting and Jade wanted to get Anna home after a busy day for them both.
"Anna! Come on!" Jade said stretching as she stood.
"Awe, mom! Can't we stay a little longer?" she asked as Harry and Ron tackled her to the ground as she laughed.
"Annabelle." Jade said with a little warning in her voice.
Anna stood up as did Harry and Ron. "All right. See you guys."
"Bye." Harry and Ron said in unison.
She followed her mother to the car while Remus pulled Jade aside.
"You going to tell her?" he asked.
"Not tonight." Jade said.
"When?" he asked.
"Quit pushing it, Remus." she said anger building up inside of her. "I will tell her in due time."
"She has a right to know who her father is, Jade. You've kept it from her for the last 14 years. It's time to tell her." Remus said.
"I want to see him first. He has a right to know before she does." Jade said.
Remus sighed. "Fine. I will get a letter to Dumbledore."
"For what?" Jade asked curiously.
She still hadn't found out that Remus knew where Sirius was. He couldn't tell her for her and Anna's own safety.
"You never mind that." he said. "Just tell her."
Jade sighed. With everyone pushing to tell Anna who her father was, she was wondering if it would cause her to break.
Remus walked into 12 Grimmauld place seeing everyone from the Order of the Phoenix there. He saw Dumbledore and pulled him aside from everyone else.
"Jade asked if she could see him again." he said.
"Ah, I thought so. She sent me an owl a week before last and I haven't sent anything back." Albus Dumbledore said. "Maybe it is time we let her know that Sirius is safe."
"Not with the danger still lurking around here and who knows what else." Sirius said overhearing the conversation.
"You can't keep denying that she see you, Sirius. She's your wife. She's angry, sad, heartbroken, and who knows what else. She needs to see you." Remus said.
"NO!" he bellowed. "She can't see me! I'm a prisoner of my own house as it is!"
"Calm down, Sirius." Dumbledore said placing a hand on his shoulder. "You need to see her because she has some important things to discuss."
"Like what? How I messed up her life? How Peter betrayed Lily and James? How I spent 12 years in a place of hell? I doubt she really has anything important to discuss with me." Sirius said.
Remus growled. "She needs to see you and that's that!"
He walked out of the room to cool down with Sirius and Dumbledore watching him disappear around the corner.
"I'll send Jade an owl. She'll want to see you." Dumbledore said.
Sirius sighed. "Fine. Just make sure she gets here safe."
"I give you my word." he said.
Sirius walked out of the room and saw his friend standing by the fireplace.
"I'm sorry for being selfish in there, Remus. It's just I don't want to see her hurt by anyone." Sirius said.
"She will be fine. Remember she was there that night you were arrested." Remus said taking a seat in the dusty chair.
"I know." he said thinking back in his head about that night.
"She loves you Sirius. She would cross the world and back just to have you back in her life." he said.
"I would too." Sirius said softly.
Jade and Anna walked into their house after arriving back home from the Weasleys.
"So did you have fun besides getting your clothes dirty?" Jade asked as she set her keys down on the table.
Anna rolled her eyes. "I wonder sometimes if you even bother to treat me as an adult."
"You acted like you were a five year old out there with everyone." Jade said. "And now I'm supposed to treat you like an adult?"
"Well we could've stayed a little while longer. I was just beginning to have fun." Anna said.
"It wouldn't have to do with a certain someone that I don't know about would it?" she asked.
Anna looked at her mother quizzically. "You know about him?"
"Tonks said something about it. Who is him?" she asked.
"Why do you wanna know?" Anna whined. "He doesn't even know I exist. He just thinks I'm one of the group."
"So that narrows it down to either George, Fred, Harry, or Ron." Jade said taking a seat on the couch.
"It's not the twins mother." she said as she sat down next to her.
"So then it's Harry?" Jade asked curiously.
Anna stood back up growling. "It's not Harry! I like Ron! Get more involved! Geez!" And with that, she stalked up the stairs and slammed her bedroom door shut.
Jade sighed rubbing her temples. 'She growled just like you Sirius. If only she could see you.' she thought as she stretched out on the couch relaxing.
