"Rachel and Ashley Lupin" They both replied in unison. Lily stared at them in amazement.

"Wow" then she looked thoughtful "Rachel and Ashley. They're good names." Ginny beamed at her, before hugging Remus once again.

"What are you going to call your baby?" She questioned. Lily smiled a secret smile and tapped her nose.

"You'll find out when it's born"

"Aw Lils, come on! We just told you what we're going to call our kids. It's only fair that you do the same!" Remus whined. Lily and Ginny both giggled.

"Oh alright" Lily said, recomposing herself "Just don't let James know that I've told you, otherwise he'll kill me. I promised I wouldn't tell anyone until the baby was born"

"Do you even know the sex of the baby?"

"Yes. It's a boy"

"And, what are you going to call it?" Remus persisted. Lily grinned.

"Harry James Potter"

"James? The poor boy, I feel sorry for him! Having his father's name for his middle name!" Remus chuckled.

"That's so typical of him. I'm guessing you picked the Christian name and he picked the middle, right?"

Lily nodded and grinned mischievously.

"I threatened to blackmail him at work if he didn't let me call the baby Harry" Ginny burst out laughing.

"Nice one"

"James doesn't mind the name really, but he tried to convince me that James Jr. would be better. No way on this earth is any good mother going to let the father name the son after him. That's just cruel"

"Hey, you've just given me an idea Lils. We can name the boy after me"

"No Remus darling, not unless you want me to leave you" Ginny replied sweetly. Remus pouted playfully.

"Oh, alright then" he grinned suddenly "When are you moving out?" Ginny mock gasped and whacked him on the arm.

"That's not funny!"

"Do you know how long it's taken Remus and I to reach a decision about naming the children? Ever since your wedding, we've been thinking up names and those are the only ones that we agreed on" Lily smiled.

"Well, I love those names. Ashley's a brilliant name; unfortunately, I can't change my mind now because I think James would throttle me after everything I've done to make him say yes to Harry. Although, he says he likes the name, I think it's grown on him. He detested the name at first. I mean, Harry Potter sounds good, doesn't it?" Remus and Ginny both nodded.

"Great name. What about if Harry had turned out to be a girl? Would you have named him Harriet Potter?"

Lily laughed.

"No.  Delilah"

"Delilah. Oh, that's a wicked name. Damn, the good names always seem to come at the last minute. Oh well."

"We could always change Rachel to Delilah, if you want" Remus offered.

"Rachel Lupin? Delilah Lupin? I'm not sure which one sounds better"

"I prefer Rachel, to be perfectly honest" Lily admitted. Remus nodded.

"Sorry Gin, but I'll have to agree with Lils on that one"

"Oh, alright. No problem"

"Hey Gin, should we make a move? It's getting quite late and you look like you could do with an early night" Remus stated. Lily nodded, while Ginny looked saddened.

"I want to stay with Lils"

"You can come and see me tomorrow" Lily offered kindly. Ginny smiled gratefully.

"Yeah, alright then.  I'll meet you in Diagon Alley outside the Ice Cream Parlour about twelve?"

"Okay, see you tomorrow sweetie"

"Bye"

It was Ginny and Remus' wedding at last. Remus muttered worriedly under his breath, while James grinned at him, his arms folded over his chest.

"Now look who's the one who's worrying about being stood up" James teased. Remus shot him the evil eye, which James simply smirked at. Sirius' eyes were darting from Remus to the doors.

"I-I know I sound stupid, but, I'm not sure if I can go through with this" Remus whispered, going paler by the minute. Zak patted him soothingly on the back.

"You'll be fine bruv; you and her are great together. You love her and she loves you. What else is there that's holding you back? If you're worried about her showing up, then don't. She'll show" Zak assured him.

Remus took a few deep breaths, his nervousness slowly fading away. Suddenly, Lucius and Snape wandered in and took the seats at the back. Sirius muttered something incoherent under his breath.

"I still can't believe Ginny invited them!" Remus heard. James looked to Remus and smiled softly.

"You're scared that you're making the wrong decision, aren't you?" Remus nodded, feeling stupid. Sirius stepped forward and put something into Remus' hand.

"If you feel that you can't go through with it. Here are the keys to my bike. I offered James the same thing. I just thought that you might need it in case" Sirius said with a wink. Remus smiled weakly.

"Thanks Padfoot"

Suddenly, the organ started up and everyone jumped to their feet.

"Well Moony, good luck. Try not to stutter too much in her presence" James said, repeating what Remus had said at his wedding. Remus glared evilly at him and James chuckled.

Narcissa came in first, wearing an emerald green dress. Remus shook his head slightly.

Trust Ginny to pick emerald green for the bridesmaids' dresses.

After Narcissa had reached the aisle, Lily came in. James gaped at her, she looked amazing in it, especially seeing as the colour of the dress went with her eyes. Remus smiled at her, and Lily winked back at him.

"She looks gorgeous" she mouthed to him.

Lily certainly wasn't wrong when Ginny walked in. Remus' jaw dropped as his eyes widened in amazement at Ginny. Even though her pregnancy showed, the dress that she wore was amazing. Indeed, Ginny looked gorgeous, Narcissa smiled encouragingly at her and Ginny blushed slightly. Remus looked pretty good in a tux and her lips tugged into a smile on seeing Remus blushing.

As the wedding came to an end, Remus made a hand signal behind his back to his fellow Marauders. Lily and Narcissa both nodded at the signal and immediately rushed over to Ginny to give their congratulations. Luckily, Ginny hadn't seen the hand movement and had also been distracted by Lily and Narcissa; otherwise she would've been extremely suspicious at everyone suddenly leaving.

Max and Jack appeared and gave Remus the thumbs-up. Remus nodded and turned to Narcissa and Lily, giving them the hand signal to stop. He then grabbed a scarf and tied it around Ginny's eyes.

"What are you doing?" Ginny questioned curiously.

"A little surprise for you, m'dear. Just, keep the scarf on"

"Okay" Her voice still held suspicion, making Narcissa and Lily giggle.

On entering outside, Lily whipped off Ginny's scarf, making Ginny's eyes water with happiness. Her dream had come true. There was snow everywhere, glistening on the ground. It looked like something out of a fairy tale. Everyone applauded as Ginny wrapped her arms around Remus' neck and pulled him into a tender kiss.

"Thank you" she whispered when they broke apart. Remus winked at her.

"Anything for my wife" he drawled. Ginny giggled and hugged him. This was, without a doubt, the best day of her life.

The party went on almost all night. Ginny danced with every single male, mainly because she threatened to embarrass them if they didn't. She danced with Snape, Lucius, James and even Dumbledore, who had shown up! Ginny laughed as Dumbledore twirled her around. McGonagall was beaming at her as a voice called out.

"Do you mind if I have a dance with the bride?" Ginny smirked on seeing Sirius standing there, pretending to look calm and collected, but really, he was dying to have a dance with her. Dumbledore's eyes twinkled as he kissed Ginny's hand.

"Lovely to dance with you, Mrs. Lupin. I hope I can have another one with you before the night ends" He smiled as he left. Sirius took her hand and started dancing to "Jump (for my love)". Ginny couldn't help laughing at Sirius' awful attempts at dancing. She knew that he had to be bad at something, but never in her dreams, did she think that Sirius would be such a terrible dancer!

"You look beautiful tonight Gin" he whispered softly. Ginny smiled and blushed slightly.

"Thank you"

"Moony's a very lucky guy. I hope he knows that"

"I'm sure he does. And I'm a very lucky girl" she told him. Sirius' smile faded slightly, but was then replaced by something that looked like a forced smile.

"Yeah, yeah, he is" Sirius whispered. Ginny hugged him.

"I know that you've never really gotten over me Sirius. But I'm glad that you haven't tried to ruin our relationship. I'll always love you as a friend" she told him, before sauntering over to her husband, just as "All I want for Christmas is you" blared out of the speakers.

Ginny sighed in contentment as she wrapped her arms around Remus' neck. All was right with the world, or so she thought. Little did she know that things were going to change from heaven to a living hell within a matter on months …

As January crept up on everyone, Ginny found herself in the hospital in labour. Remus was pacing worriedly, Ginny wasn't due to have the babies for another few hours as the doctor had informed them, but hearing Ginny scream from her contractions every five minutes didn't help things.

Lily, James, Narcissa, Lucius, Snape and Sirius were there, watching Remus pace. Eventually, Snape snapped.

"Lupin, will you stop pacing for goodness sake? You're making me dizzy!" Remus grinned sheepishly, then ran a hand through his hair. Everyone jumped on hearing Ginny scream again.

"I think I should-"

Suddenly, the doctor's voice called be heard.

"Argh, Mrs. Lupin, please try to remain calm, I know it must be painful, but-"

"Painful? PAINFUL?! You have no idea!" She shrieked "I NEED my husband here NOW!" As soon as this was said, Remus dashed into the room and sat down beside her.

"I'm here. Is there anything you want me to do? Is there anything you need?" He questioned, taking her hand. Ginny gritted her teeth and squeezed Remus' hand.

"I just need you here with me" she whispered, gasping as another contraction started.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Lily and Narcissa both jumped about a foot in the air, both going extremely pale. By the sounds of it, Ginny was going through indescribable pain and both females were starting to regret ever getting pregnant.

"THE BABIES ARE HERE!" Remus screamed. His scream sounded like pure joy. He beckoned the others to enter the room, which they did. They all stared in awe at the two babies; they both looked so fragile and even the slightest touch could hurt them.

"They're adorable!" Lily cooed. Ginny was holding Ashley, while Remus bent over and picked up Rachel.

"Hello there Rachel Lupin" James whispered, looking to Remus, whom had tears of happiness streaming down his face. James and Sirius both looked to each other, sharing the same thought. Remus was finally leading a normal life, even though he was a werewolf, yet, that didn't seem to matter anymore.
