Chapter 29
The news spread of Summer and Mark quickly. Elle couldn't have been more proud if she had tried and neither could Harry.
He was a big brother, again…
This time it was just too good to be true and no one would take them or Elle from him.
Smiling as they told all there friends together in the common room, every one gave a cheer for the two babies and there health.
Neville was so pleased for Ellouise
. She was flourishing now under all the good changes in her life. She just looked so bb beautiful.
Walking towards him in the common room no words were needed.. Her eyes said it all.
I love you…
Pulling her up nervously praying she didn't pull away which she didn't, Neville had his first kiss.
---------------------------
Sitting on the chair at home lily was falling asleep but too happy and to immense in the scene to stop it.
Her nephew, Summer's god father, played with her on the floor. Four days after the birth she had got home with her and Dudley didn't want to leave her side and hated it when he had to go.
By her side her sister sat cooing over Mark, Petunia felt weird knowing Harry had intended the boy to be named after her father but held him happily any way.
"There so beautiful lily," she said. "Just like Dudley was."
"Mum,"
"Yes darling?"
"Shut up," all three of them laughed.
"I wish I'd seen more of you ass a baby," said lily.
"I know but you're here now."! He said. Just then James got home.
Seeing petunia he felt sick and protective of his new born baby son.
"Hey Mark," he said feeling hot and taking him from her in to his own arms looking at summer. He was ok with his nephew holding her but not his parents.
"Maybe we should get going, come on," she said and the god father kissed both babies and left with his mother,
"That wasn't needed James," said lily as she put summer and taking mark next and putting them both in there bassinettes.
"I - I don't like her holding my babies."
"Don't be a fool James. I was there and she has seen she was wrong, drop it."
----------------------------
The next day things between the adults were normal and James went to work. Again.
Lily got more and more annoyed by him. She needed him to be strong for her.
But he just couldn't be, he felt so betrayed by the sister of his beloved. And could not get his head round it.
Shaking her head she picked up the babies and went out side in a shady spot with them.
Keeping theme cool she looked lovingly on them.
So tiny, so helpless, they needed her. She was the most important person in there tiny, lives. Only just over one hundred and twenty hours old now.
Just then got steps were heard and she turned to see her father.
"Hello Lily."
----------------------------------
Mel smiled ass she and her husband tot be kissed. He was taking the day off just like his best friend should be but wasn't.
Mark was getting more used to Sirius and Dudley and Remus than they were James because already they had seen more of there godfather s and there uncle.
Dudley spent a lot of his time watching Sirius with mark. He had to learn how to be a godfather from somewhere.
"Honey," she said to Sirius as they sat in there room.
"Will you talk to James for me!" she asked him.
"About what?" asked Sirius.
"Lily and the kids. If he doesn't buck up his ideas soon Lily won't stand for it"
"Ok"
When jammed got back that night Sirius did as his girl had asked him to and them and who had been embarrassed by the fact that his mate had to give him advice on how to be a dad and a husband.
"I am so scared by all of this," he said and his wife walked in.
She had heard a lot of what had been said between Padfoot and prongs had said. As Sirius left she got herself a glass of wine.
"God James," she said to him with a true confusion in her voice. "my darling for all my sins I love you, you are beside the kids the most important m an inn my life, the most important person and you give a reason to get up every morning but I cant go on like this." she said to him as she drunk her wine.
"I'm scared." he said to her. He sounded pathetic and he knew it.
"So what the fucks your point?" she said and shocked him. "You think I'm not or something?" she asked him.
"But you never show it, you make it look so easy-"
"Well guess what James. I am up to my head now. I am so close to losing it but you know why I don't, because of that day when I gave birth the twins. The picture in my head of my family round Me." she said to him.
"I had that and I treasured it and you should too. You are what's keeping me going." she said to him with tears in her legendary eyes.
"And you me but-"
"Then come and prove it to me," she said and lead him to the room up stairs where there babies lay.
"There tiny James," she said tenderly in his ear. "They need there daddy." she said.
"After all that's gone on -"
"We have come out stronger," she said to him and looked in his eyes. "I know we nearly lost Elle,"she said remembering the night at the hospital when they thought she was going to die.
"I don't know how to be a dad." he said
"Then ask for help," she said to him and hugged him. "Don't suffer, don't let the kids suffer. All you have to do is be there for them." she said to him.
"I do t want them to reject me by them."
"You wont be and if you looked you would see that neither has Ellouise, like you think she has." going to there room she opened a draw and got out a piece off parchment. "Read it," she said and gave it to him.
Hey,
Its me. How you doing and dad, I really miss you both. Schools going well. I hope you all are ok too. How's dad? I know he's busy with work. Hope he's not too busy.
Love you both loads/
Elle.
"She loves you just as much as she does me and so do summer and mark and Harry," she said. "Hold me James and for once be strong, for me," she said. "and if you can't do that then go now." she said to him.
He made no movement t for two minute's and she was giving yup hope when he held her tight and kissed her.
"I love you, and the kids and nothing is going to come between us," he said as they went back in to the nursery.
With lily with him he picked up his kids and he held them tight, all three of them and if he's two eldest had been there he would have held them top. He wished they were.
As he lay in his bed that night he didn't feel so scared any more. All you had to do to be a dad was be there for your kids and hold them if they were scared. He had been a prick. Especially to Ellouise
He had to say sorry. And that was what he was going to do.
Fluing to Hogwarts that night at midnight he went up to the girls dorm. Muttering a spell so the stairs wouldn't reject him he walked in to the second year dorm.
Waking up ass her dad sat by her Elle came aware of him but only slightly.
"Dad," she said to him and he felt her come closer, gathering her in his arms he knew he had been a idiot. "What you doing here."
"For once…being a dad," he said and he rocked her to sleep before going to check on Harry.
Doing the same with his son he left for home. he didn't have to be the best dad in the world. He just had to be there's. And of he could make them happy and keep them safe he didn't have to do any more.
The next day, Elle had a lot to talk about with Harry as he told her he had had a problem a few nights ago just after they had first been at the birth of the twins, the night after .
He had just been told what would be going on for the third task when Krum had asked to talk to him. They had gone near the forest which Elle thought was so stupid considering matters of them contesting against one another in the tournament and all, but there when he said things had got really weird. He had seen Percy's boss Mr crouch. He had been pretty much going mad from what Harry had told her.
He had heard he had been ill but Harry said it had been quite alarming.
"Just try not to think about it to much," said Elle.
He had to be focused.
"But I do Elle, how can I not?" he asked her. Bertha is dead who ever she is and the dark lord, getting stronger." he said to her and she went tot him and hugged her brother tight more for her comfort than his.
She had never really thought of Voldemort. She had come to the wizarding world they year when Harry had not meet him and asides from the Quidditch cup a lot of them story's she had heard were just that mere stories..
But now there was a fear of him coming back Ellouise was forced to think of him and what would become off her and her family if he did return. Her parents might even be taken from her again and she didn't want to nor could she bear that.
Well the calm in her life had been good while it had lasted. Back to normal, she thought to her self.
"I know Harry," she said to him, "I'm worried too."
a/n : evil laugh!
