Sirius cried out in frustration for the fifth time in the same night. It had been a month since Lily and James' death and Sirius still wasn't used to being woken up and four in the morning. He couldn't take much more of Harry's screaming! He'd tried almost everything to shut the kid up, but to no avail. He loved Harry, yes, but he was beginning to annoy him. Didn't parents ever get any sleep with babies around?

Resorting to desperate measures, he checked outside to make sure that no one could hear anything, then flung some Floo Powder into the fire. For Sirius lived in a muggle flat, along with many other people whom lived on the same floor as him. He'd been trying his hardest not to use any magic, but he kept accidentally letting a spell slip out of his mouth, now, Ginny had resorted to banning his wand, so he couldn't use any magic whatsoever.

"Ginny?" Sirius whispered frantically into the fireplace "I really need help! Harry won't shut up!"

Ginny suddenly appeared through the fireplace, rubbing her eyes.

"W-What is it?" she yawned.

"I can't get Harry to shut up! What do I do?" Ginny sleepily made her way into Harry's room, picked him and held him close.

"There, there Harry, it's alright, Auntie Ginny's here" she cooed. Harry immediately shut up and looked at Ginny with those big wide innocent emerald green eyes and gurgled happily, then tried to pull at her hair.

"Must be a woman thing" Sirius muttered under his breath. Ginny sighed on hearing this.

"Sirius, we've been through this. I just look a lot like Lily. I can't help that, you know? I'm beginning to dread the day when he begins to talk. What do you think everyone will say if he one day started calling me 'Mama'?" Sirius chuckled slightly on having a vision of that. Ginny's eyes flashed angrily.

"It's not funny!" Sirius quickly sobered up.

"I know, I know. Sorry" he added quickly.

"What time is it?"

"4:30am" Ginny yawned widely and lowered Harry into the crib as he yawned sleepily and shut his eyes.

"I think I'd better get home" she whispered as she made towards the fireplace, but tripped and fell straight into Sirius' arms.

"Or maybe not" Sirius said, smiling slightly "You don't look too good and if you flooed now, who knows where you'll end up. I can owl Remus if you want to and tell him where you are"

Ginny nodded and sank back onto the sofa, not caring that she was snuggling next to Sirius.

"Remus and I aren't doing too good at the moment" she whispered "We keep arguing"

Sirius was immediately intrigued.

"Why?"

"He keeps saying that I'm only spending time with Harry to get closer to you. He thinks that you and I are having some kind of affair. Funny, huh? I just laughed in his face and told him to grow up and that he should realize that I'm Harry's godmother, the only reason you ask me over is to sort Harry out, I'm not having some sort of secret relationship! Personally, I think it's hilarious" As Ginny finished this, Sirius couldn't help squirming slightly and feeling extremely uncomfortable. He also realized that his face was flushed and he felt rather hot.

"Uh, y-yeah, that's funny" he said and laughed nervously.

"And I'm having a hard time at the moment. I've got the twins and Harry to deal with at times, then Remus and I are having these flaming rows over nothing. It's really hard" she whispered. Sirius felt a wave of sympathy wash through him. She did look extremely tired, as if she'd been through a lot.

"I'm sorry" he whispered softly. Ginny moaned.

"What for? You've got nothing to be sorry for, Sirius"

"I just … wish that you and Remus were doing okay. I'm also sorry for waking you up. I shouldn't have. I should've tried to stop him crying on my own"

"Sirius, stop blaming yourself for my problems. I know you're just trying to make me feel better, and with Harry, its fine honestly, I'm glad to do it" As Ginny slowly dozed off, Sirius felt sleep wash over him as he laid his head on the sofa arm and fell into a deep sleep.

Remus paced the living room worriedly. Where was Ginny? He'd woken up to find the other half of the bed empty! He ran a hand through his hair, before jumping slightly on hearing the twins' cries.

Where is she? He thought frantically to himself as he rushed to the twins' aid Maybe she nipped off to Diagon Alley for some shopping, or maybe Hogsmeade?

The only option he hadn't thought of was her being at Sirius' place. Suddenly, there was a noise from the living room, and Remus quickly left the twins to see if it was Ginny. It was! And she was with Sirius and Harry! Remus felt anger well up inside of him. What the hell was she doing with Sirius?  

"Ginny!" he yelled, making his way over to her "I've been worried out of my mind, wondering where you've been, and you've been with him!" he said incredulously. Ginny rolled her eyes.

"Remus, Sirius had some trouble trying to shut Harry up last night, so he called me over"

"And you didn't bother calling me to let me know?" he questioned, looking hurt.

"I fell asleep" she confessed. Remus' eyes left Ginny's to meet Sirius'.

"So did I" he admitted, looking apologetic. Remus gritted his teeth.

"What's going on?" he demanded "Are you two having an affair or something? Come on, out with it! I don't believe for one second that Harry takes up most of your time, when you have the twins as well!" Ginny sighed deeply.

"Alright, you want to know? I spend most of my time with Harry and Sirius because I can't bare being around you at the moment! You're always accusing me of having an affair with Sirius or something else! I'm sick of it, Remus! I thought you trusted me! Wasn't that why we married? Because we trusted each other. If I wanted Sirius, I'd be married to him, instead of you, you moron!" she screamed as she burst into tears and ran from the living room, sobbing.

Remus lowered his eyes to the floor, feeling both hurt and foolish. He did trust Ginny; it was Sirius he didn't trust. He knew that Sirius had fancied Ginny ever since he'd clapped eyes on her.

"Moony" Sirius said softly "She's extremely loyal to you and she loves you, why do you keep accusing her of all people of having an affair?"

Remus shook his head slightly, looking sad.

"I-I don't know, I just … Ginny, where are you going?" For Ginny had both of the babies in their prams and was heading for the door.

"I'm going out" she said coldly "Why? Do you need a list of where I'm going now so you can contact them to make sure I've been there?" Remus inhaled sharply, trying hard to calm himself down, after all, the full moon was tonight, and the wolf inside of him was getting extremely aggressive.

"N-No. I just wondered where you going"

"Hogsmeade" she snapped "Don't worry, I'll be back soon" and with that said, she left. Remus collapsed onto the sofa and cried, Sirius looking worriedly from the door to his only best friend.

As Ginny entered The Three Broomsticks, she sat down, silently wiping away the tears on her tear-stained face.

"Are you alright, dear?" Ginny looked up to see a red-haired woman, smiling kindly down at her. Ginny sniffled and smiled weakly, nodding slightly.

"Y-Yes, I'm fine, thank you"

"I'm sorry dear, but you don't look it. Do you mind?" she asked, indicating to take a seat next to her. Ginny shook her head.

"Be my guest" Ginny watched as the woman sat down next to her, a red-headed baby was being cradled in her arms.

"I-I'm sorry, not meaning to be rude or anything, but who are you?" she questioned. The other red-head blushed slightly.

"Oh, I'm Molly Weasley. Pleased to meet you" Ginny lightly shook her hand.

"I'm Ginny Lupin" Suddenly, Ginny screamed as she felt something sharp in her forehead, like a headache, but worse. She put her hands over her face, shaking her head slightly.

"Are you alright, dear?" Ginny felt the tears flow down her cheeks once again. When was the last time that someone had been so kind to her before? She couldn't remember the last time Remus had shown how much he loved her. Heck, she couldn't even remember the last time he'd even been nice towards her.

"I-I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me" she apologized. Mrs. Weasley smiled kindly.

"It's alright dear. What are you going to have?" she questioned, gesturing to the waitress who was standing over her.

"Oh, just a butterbeer please" she mumbled, embarrassed "I-I don't come here much" Ginny blushed "I'm not exactly that wealthy, in fact, why am I even telling you this? I don't even know you!" Mrs. Weasley laughed.

"Well, it's alright, really. My family isn't really that rich either"

"I guess it doesn't pay to have a husband who's not normal" she mumbled. Mrs. Weasley laughed once again.

"My husband is definitely not what you'd call normal, he enjoys mucking around with muggle things" Ginny looked intrigued.

"Really?" Mrs. Weasley nodded.

"Listen, Mrs. Weasley, I-"

"Call me Molly, dear" Ginny blinked a few times, then smiled.

"Thank you very much. I know this sounds crazy, but just having you here has made me feel so much better"

"Is there something troubling you?" Mrs. Weasley pressed.

"Well, it's nothing really. It's just my husband and I-we're going through a rough patch at the moment because, well, you've obviously heard of Harry Potter, right?" Mrs. Weasley nodded "Yes, well, our friend, Sirius Black looks after him and I'm Harry's godmother, so naturally, Sirius needs a female figure around to control Harry, and Remus, he-well, he just gets jealous that I'm not spending enough time with my kids and him"

Mrs. Weasley nodded, looking thoughtful.

"Sounds to me that he's insecure" she told her.

"Does he?"

"Of course he is! If he thinks you're having an affair with his best friend!"

"Yes, but what do I do?"

"Show him that you love him" Mrs. Weasley stated.

"And how do I do that?" Ginny questioned "When every single time I see him, he starts yelling"

"Let him say his piece, then you just ignore his ranting and raving, let him calm down, then show him that you love him. Anything, like maybe there's a certain food that he likes? Cook him that. Or … I don't know. It all depends on what your husband likes" Ginny nodded.

"Thank you so much, Mrs.-"

"Molly, dear. Just call me Molly" Ginny blushed.

"Sorry, Molly. Thank you"

"It's no problem, dear"

"Maybe I'll see you around sometime?" Mrs. Weasley nodded.

"Yes, maybe. Hopefully. It has been a pleasure talking with you, Mrs.-"

"Ginny, Molly, just call me Ginny" Mrs. Weasley chuckled.

"Alright, alright. See you around, Ginny?" Ginny nodded.

"I hope so"

"Bye!"

Remus sat on the sofa, waiting for Ginny to arrive. As Ginny entered the house, deposited the kids in their room and collapsed on the sofa, she waited patiently for Remus to start yelling. But to her pleasant surprise, he pulled her into a passionate kiss.

"What was that for?" she asked breathlessly as she pulled away.

"Just to say sorry and that I love you" he whispered, then he buried his head into her hair "I'm so sorry!"

Ginny immediately forgave him and hugged him.

"I love you Remus, just don't forget that" Remus nodded and wiped a few tears that spilled down his face.

"I met the nicest woman while I was out today. Her name was Molly Weasley. She was absolutely lovely. We both had quite a pleasant chat"

"Did you get her address, maybe we could meet up one night?" Ginny clapped a hand to her forehead and shook her head.

"Sorry no, I didn't. Hopefully, we'll see her sometime soon" Remus nodded and smiled.

"Yeah"

"Full moon tonight, huh?" Remus' smile faded as he turned serious.

"Yes, it is"

"Do you want to take the kids to the basement or shall I?" Remus' bottom lip wobbled slightly. After discovering that both of his kids were werewolves, he'd felt angry and upset at himself.

"C-Could you do it?" Ginny nodded.

"Of course. I'll see you down there, alright?" Remus' head shot up.

"You're not putting them in the same room as me, are you? I could kill them!" Ginny shook her head.

"No, you won't. It's been the same every single month. Plus I'm there. It's not so bad when I'm there" Remus smiled wryly.

"Yeah, it's not so bad when you're there" he drawled as he pulled her onto his lap and kissed her. Suddenly, the wailing of the babies could be heard. Ginny sighed sadly, feeling pity for her husband and children.

"I guess it's time" she whispered.
