"Lily, he's here, take Harry and run!" James yelled as the door was suddenly blasted open.

Lily wasted no time, grabbing Harry, she ran upstairs to the nursey and blocked the door. She tried to apparate and realized that there was an anti-apparition ward around the house. Lily tried her portkey, but nothing happened. Reaching into her back pocket for her wand, Lily's eyes widened when she realized that she had left her wand in the kitchen.

Having no choice, she laid Harry in his crib then turned to face Voldemort. When suddenly she heard a noise behind her. BAMF and the room filled with the smell of brimstone. Turning around, she saw what appeared to be a demon with indigo-colored velvety fur, two-toed feet, and three-fingered hands, yellow eyes, pointed ears, and a prehensile tail. He smiled at her.

Lily was about to scream, but he held up his hands, "Don't scream, Lily. My name is Kurt Vagner, and I'm here to help you."

"How do you know my name?"

"Professor Xavier told me, I'm a friend of your husband."

"James?"

"No, your first husband, Harry's father."

Lily's eyes widen, "Logan," She whispered.

"Ja, Logan, ve must get you and the baby out of here."

"How, I can't apparate."

Kurt smiled, "That is no problem for me. Come, trust me."

Lily knew that if he was a friend of Logan's, he was trustworthy. Just as Lily picks up Harry, Voldemort burst into the room and sends a curse at Harry.

"Avada Kedavra!"

The curse hits Harry in the leg, but since he's a mutant and Logan's son, the curse rebounds and hits Voldemort killing him. Kurt lunges for Lily and Harry and teleports away.

Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Logan is pacing impatiently waiting for Kurt to return with is mate. He couldn't believe that he had forgotten about his mate. If it weren't for Charles helping him get his memories back, Logan would probably have never remembered Lily. But once his memories returned, that's all Logan wanted was to find his wife.

Logan remembered telling Lily that if he ever disappeared to go back to England, that he would find her again there. So when Logan went looking and found no trace of her anywhere, it finally dawned on him that she had gone back to the British Wizarding World she hated so much.

Once Logan realized that he asked Charles once again to help him. Charles was more than willing to help Logan. He had to search Logan's memories to get a clear picture of Lily and what her presence felt like for him to start searching with Cerebro. It didn't take Charles very long to get past the wards that guarded the Wizarding World, they were no match for the world's most powerful telepath, but what did take a while was locating Lily. When he finally did, he had immediately sent Kurt for her after seeing the danger she was in. Charles had shown Kurt the exact location to where he needed to teleport.

"Though I advise you to assess the situation first before teleporting in."

Kurt nods and disappeared, and now all Logan could do was wait.

"Logan, why don't you wait in your room until Kurt returns?"

"Hell no, Charles, I need to be here when Lily arrives. I need to see her immediately."

At that moment, they heard Kurt reappear with a very shaken Lily in his arms.

She was immediately on guard when they appeared in someone's office. She looked around the room and saw a man in a wheelchair smiling at her, and next to him stood the love of her life. James Logan Howlett.

"Logan," Lily whispered, her heart fluttering at the sight of him.

Logan, of course, heard her heart increase and smiled. She still loved him.

"Lily."

She and Logan started walking toward each other when Logan finally noticed the baby in Lily's arms. He stopped and stared, his heart crashing at the thought that Lily had given birth to another man's child. Then the baby looked up and looked around. The baby's eyes suddenly locked onto Logan. Logan's mouth fell open; he was looking at a miniature version of himself except with his mother's green eyes.

Taking a tentative sniff, Logan picked up the scent of his blood running through the baby's veins. Though it was slightly masked by the smell of another man, he knew without a doubt that this was his cub.

Logan instantly closed the distance between him and Lily and swept her up in his arms, crashing his lips onto hers. Though he was mindful of how hard he squeezed her, not wanting to hurt his child.

The minute Lily was in Logan's arms, she felt safe and secure; more than she had in a long time. So much so that she burst into tears.

"Logan, you're alive! Oh my god, I never thought I'd see you again."

"I told you, Darlin, I would find you. It just took me longer than I thought."

Lily sniffled and buried her head in Logan's shoulder, "I missed you so much."

"Mama?" Lily and Logan looked at the baby in Lily's arms, who was looking at them confused.

Lily smiled at Harry, "Logan, let me introduce you to your son, Harrison James Howlett. Harry, love, this is your daddy."

Harry looked at Logan, confused, "Dada?"

"Yes, Harry, this is your real daddy. You remember I showed you pictures of him?"

Though James treated Harry like his son and Harry called him Papa, Lily never lied to Harry about who his father was, she even showed him moving pictures of Logan.

Logan and Harry stared at each other for a long while, Harry studying Logan's face. Harry sniffed Logan, and the scent coming off the older male comforted Harry in a way that James' scent never did. And he found it familiar. Logan raised an eyebrow at the baby's actions, and Harry's eyes lit up in recognition. He had seen that gesture in practically all the photos of Logan.

"Dada!" Harry squealed and reached for Logan.

Logan was so stunned that the baby knew who he was. He just stood there for a minute. Lily smiled, "Go on, Logan, hold your son."

Logan cautiously reached out for Harry, who was straining against Lil,y trying to get to his father. When Logan finally took him from Lily, the baby giggled nuzzled into Logan's neck and started sniffing him.

"He's like me?"

"Yes, Logan, Harry's a mutant. He has all your feral senses and characteristics, and he even has your healing factor."

Logan couldn't believe it, that Harry was already showing signs of being a mutant so young. He smiled and cuddled the baby more into him, Harry giggled and snuggled more into his father.

"Lily, how?"

"Do I have to explain to you how?" Lily said with a smirk.

"I know how, but why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't find out until later, by that time you had been taken and I went back to England as you told me to. Oh, Logan, I'm so sorry. When I found out I was pregnant, I panicked. I ran into James and told him what happened and that I thought you were dead. He offered to marry me and adopt Harry, knowing full well that I didn't love him. So that Harry would be protected and wouldn't be called a bastard and grow up without a father."

Logan and Lily sat down on Charles's couch; they hadn't even noticed that they were alone in the room. Logan wrapped his arm around Lily as she started to sob and told him the rest.

"We were married in the Magical World a few weeks later."

Logan's heart constricted at the thought of Lily sleeping with James. Lily saw the pain in his eyes and rushed on to explain.

"We never consummated the marriage. I couldn't do it; I couldn't give myself to James. I loved you too much to betray you further. James accepted that."

Logan let out a sigh of relief, he didn't think Lily had been with James, Logan's scent was still on her, but he needed to hear it from her.

"So if you were never with James…"

"The marriage is invalid, but people assumed we consummated the marriage since I was pregnant. People thought James was Harry's father, because when he was born, James blood adopted him, and it changed his features to look like him."

Logan looked down at Harry, who had fallen asleep in Logan's arms, "But he looks exactly like me."

Lily smiled, "Yes, he does, doesn't he? After Harry turned one, the spell broke, and Harry took on your features. We didn't understand why and James tried to recast the spell, but it wouldn't work; it just washed over Harry like water. That's when I realized that Harry's a mutant and has your Healing Factor. He had purged himself of the spell."

Logan smiles down at his son.

"James was going to... Oh my god, James! I left James alone in the house to face Voldemort; I have to go back, Logan, he could get killed."

"I'm sorry, Darlin', but I can't let you go."

"Please, Logan, he could be hurt! He's been good to us; I can't just let him die."

*I'm afraid it's too late, Mrs. Howlett, Mr. Potter, was hit with a green light and has passed away.*

"Who was that?"

"That was Charles Xavier, the world's most powerful telepath; he was the one in the wheelchair. He must have seen it when your friend died."

Lily covered her mouth, "Oh my god, James."

Logan put his arm around Lily's shoulders. She laid her head on Logan's shoulder and cried, "He was so good to us, Logan, he didn't deserve to die like that."

"I know he didn't, Darlin', but he died protecting you and Harry, and I will forever be grateful for that."

"Oh, Logan, Peter."

"Peter, who's Peter?"

"Peter Pettigrew, do you remember when I told you about Secret Keepers?"

Logan nodded.

"Peter was our Secret Keeper, Sirius was supposed to be it, but he convinced James to switch. That means…"

Logan growled deep in his chest, "That bastard betrayed you."

"Sirius! Oh god, Sirius is going to lose it when he finds out what happened to James. He's going to go after Peter I know it. Logan, I have to go back."

"The hell you're going back!"

"Logan I have to, people are going to think that Sirius was the Secret Keeper, they're going to think that he betrayed us. I can't let him go to Azkaban for something he didn't do! I promise I'll apparate there fix everything then apparate right back."

"If you're going, I'm going with you."

"Logan, I don't want you to get hurt."

Logan smirked, "Did you forget, Darlin', magic does not affect me. I can take care of myself. Besides, anyone that tries to come for us will have to get through these."

Logan unsheaths his ten and half-inch long adamantium claws. Lily's eyes widen at sight. She had seen his claws before, but she remembers them being bone, not metal. She goes to touch them, but he retracts them.

"I wouldn't touch them, Darlin', they're incredibly sharp."

"What happened?"

"I'll explain later, first let's get Ororo and Kurt to watch Harry and then we'll go."

Lily nods. Before Logan has a chance to call Ororo and Kurt walks into the room, "Charles said you needed us?"

"Yeah, Ro, can you and the elf watch my boy for us for a while, we need to go to England quick."

Ororo smiled, "Sure, Logan, no problem."

Lily takes Harry from Logan; she gently shakes him awake, "Harry, my love, wake up, baby."

Harry wakes up and looks at his mother; he smiles at her, "Mama?"

"Harry, Dada, and Mama need to go bye-bye, but you're going to stay here with Aunty Storm and uncle Kurt, Okay?"

Harry looks at the African-American woman and frowns he doesn't know her, but he does recognize Kurt and giggles, but he still gives his mother a questioning look

"We're going to go get Padfoot and Moony."

"Pafoo, Mooy?" Harry questions.

"Yes, my love."

"An' Papa?"

Lily hesitates, "No, Papa can't come, he…he went bye-bye." She tells him and swallows thickly.

"Go, bye-bye?"

"Yes, baby, Papa went bye-bye. Now can you be a good boy until Mama and Dada get back?"

Harry nods his head.

Logan ruffles his hair, "Good boy, we'll be back soon, son."

Harry giggles and reaches out for his parents, Logan takes him in his arms and kisses his chubby cheek, and Harry returns it with a sloppy kiss of his own. He does the same thing to Lily. Logan then hands Harry to Kurt, who smiles at the baby and tickles him with his tail.

Lily takes Logan by the hand and disapparates to England.

Meanwhile, Dumbledore standing outside the house with tears in his eyes. He had gone into the house and had seen James' body lying in the living room, then went upstairs to see if he could find Lily and Harry. He was surprised and relieved when he did not see them in the nursery. But he was shocked to see what was left of Voldemort. He sees the destroyed crib and assumes that before they got away, Voldemort tried to kill Harry, but something went wrong. He didn't know what, though. So he started saying that Harry Potter killed Lord Voldemort, he thought a little white lie wouldn't hurt anyone, and it would give people hope.

Lily and Logan had first gone to Sirius' apartment to see if he was there. When they didn't find him, they went to Remus' little cottage. To say that Remus was shocked to see Lily at his door was an understatement.

"Hello, Remus."

"Lily, you're alive."

"Yes, Remus."

"And Harry?"

"He's fine as well."

"But how, Dumbledore said that the house was destroyed and that he found James…" Remus couldn't bring himself to say it, "And that there were anti-apparition and portkey wards around the house, how did you and Harry escape."

"I had help escaping. One of my husband's friends helped us escape."

"What friend of James?"

"No, Remus, my first husband."

"You're divorced?"

"Not exactly," Logan stepped out of the shadows into the light, and Lily took his hand, "Remus this is my real husband, James Logan Howlett and Harry's father."

Remus instantly took a step back, One. He couldn't believe what Lily was telling him and two, because he could smell that the large male in front of him was a formidable Alpha male.

"Remus may we come in, and I'll explain?"

Remus came out of his stupor and invited them in. They went to the kitchen where Remus prepare some tea, then he and Lily sat down. Logan stood behind Lily, guarding her. It unnerved Remus how possessive this Alpha was of Lily.

Lily began to explain what happened, and that James had offered to marry her in her time of need, how he blood adopted Harry when he was born to make him legally his son.

"So then, you have two husbands, and Harry has two fathers."

"No, I never consummated my marriage with James the marriage was never legal. And the blood adoption didn't take."

"What do you mean it didn't take?"

"When Harry turned a year old, the spell broke, and James was never able to cast it again. Harry had purged it out of his system."

"How?"

"I'll explain that later, but I need to know where is Sirius."

Remus' eyes harden, "That traitor has been taken to Azkaban for giving you up to Voldemort."

Lily abruptly stood up, "I have to go, I have to get Sirius out."

"Why?!" Remus asked, standing up as well.

"Because, Remus, Sirius was never the Secret Keeper, Peter was."

"Oh, Merlin, Lily, I should have known that Sirius would never have betrayed you and James," Remus said as he slumped into the chair.

"Come on, Moony, we have to get Sirius out. He can't spend another minute in there."

Remus stands up, "Right, let's go."

"I'm going with you, Darlin'."

"Logan, I need you to wait here."

"The hell I'm letting you go alone!"

Remus decided to step in, "Mr. Howlett, you can't go with us. Muggles are not allowed in the Ministry."

"I'm not a No-Maj, Bub."

Remus furrows his brow, "Are you an American wizard?"

Logan laughed, "Nah. I'm not that either."

"Well, if you're not a Muggle and you're not a wizard, then what are you."

Logan gives Remus a feral grin, "Something you can't possibly imagine. And I'm not letting my mate go alone."

With that statement, everything became clear to Remus. No wonder magic never recognized James' marriage to Lily, not only was it not consummated, she has a mate. That bond is stronger than any marriage.

Lily turned to Logan and cupped his cheek; he leaned into her touch, "Logan, I promise I'll be fine. We'll go to the Ministry, explained that Sirius is innocent, and be back in no time. Don't worry."

"Of course, I'm gonna worry, but I'll let you go," Then Logan looks at Remus, "Wolf, if anything happens to my mate, I will kill you."

Remus' eyes widen, but he didn't get a chance to ask how Logan knew what he was, Lily took his arm and disapparated away.

When they arrived at the Ministry, they went straight to The Department of Magical Law Enforcement to talk to Bartimus Crouch. Everyone stared at Lily as if she was a ghost. When she and Remus asked to speak to Bartimus, they were immediately ushered into his office. Mr. Crouch was quite surprised to see Lily in his office.

"Lady Potter, you're alive."

"So it would seem. I have come to demand the release of Sirius Black from Azakaban," Lily tells Crouch.

"I'm afraid that is quite impossible, Lady Potter."

"Why?"

"He admitted to betraying you and Lord Potter."

"That's impossible, Mr. Crouch, Sirius Black was never our Secret Keeper. Peter Pettigrew was."

Bartimus narrowed his eyes, "How can I believe you, Lady Potter?"

"What do you mean I was there when we made Peter Pettigrew our Secret Keeper."

"How do I know you are not under the Imperius Curse right now?"

"You're joking?" Lily looked at Remus as if to ask if this man was that stupid, "Mr. Crouch, you can question me under veritaserum if you like."

"Very well, I will, please sit down."

Bartimus gets the veritaserum and puts three drops in Lily's mouth; He does not doubt that she is who she says she is, so he gets right to the point.

"Have you ever been or are you now under the Imperius curse and are being obligated to say that Sirius Black is innocent."

"No."

"Was Peter Pettigrew your Secret Keeper?"

"Yes."

Satisfied with the answers, Bartimus gave Lily the antidote and fire called Azkaban for them to bring him, Sirius Black. Even with him only being there a few hours, Sirius looked terrible. The Aurors placed him in the chair, and Bartimus stared at him.

"Mr. Black, Lady Potter, has come to declare you innocent of the crime you have been accused of, but to be sure, I would like to question you under veritaserum."

"Anything."

Bartimus did the same thing to Sirius and got the same answers, though Sirius told them that it was Peter that blew up the block, killing the Muggles and then cut off his finger.

"How did he escape Mr. Black?"

"Peter is an illegal animagus, a rat; he transformed and escaped."

Bartimus heard enough, he gave Sirius the antidote and told him he was free to go. Lily and Remus hug Sirius, then help him up and lead him out of the office. They went to the floo network and floo back to Remus' house.

Meanwhile, Logan is impatiently pacing, waiting for them to return and growling. He should have never let Lily go by herself. Suddenly the fire in the fireplace erupts, turning green. Logan instantly drops into a defensive stance and unsheaths his claws. When a dark-haired man steps out of the fireplace, Logan smells Lily on him, he grabs him by the neck, picking him up off the ground and slamming him against the wall. Logan has his claws pointed at Sirius' neck. Sirius just stares wide-eyed at the man with claws coming out of his hands.

"Where's Lily?!"

"Logan, I'm right here, please, let Sirius go."

Logan growls once and drops Sirius, who crumples to the floor. Sirius gasps for air and rubs his neck, "Who in Merlin's name are you?"

"I'm Lily's fucking husband, that's who I am, Bub!"

"What?! You can't be Lily is married to James."

Lily and Remus rush over to Sirius and help him up. They help him over to the sofa and have him sit. Remus rushes off and brings Sirius a glass of firewhiskey. He was going to need it after Lily explained everything.

"Lily, this man is lying, James is your husband, isn't he?"

Lily gives Sirius a sad look, "No, Padfoot, Logan isn't lying; he is my husband."

"I don't understand."

Lily went on to explain everything to Sirius, how she thought that Logan was dead, and James offered to marry her.

"But, Prongslett, he's James' son."

Lily shook her head, "No, Sirius, Harry is Logan's son."

Sirius starts getting angry and stands up, "You lied to James!" He accuses.

Sirius takes a step towards Lily, but Logan steps in front of her and unsheaths his claws and takes a menacing step towards Sirius, growling, "Try it, Bub, and I'll gut you."

Sirius takes a step back and falls back onto the sofa, "How could you, Lily?" Sirius asks as tears roll down his face.

Lily sits down next to him, "Sirius, James knew about my pregnancy, that's why he offered to marry me, he didn't want my child to grow up without a father. His blood adopted him after he was born; that's why Harry looked like him when you saw him."

"But now you're married to James."

"The marriage was never valid; we never consummated the marriage. I couldn't do it."

Remus sat down on the other side of Sirius, "It would never have been valid anyway, Padfoot, Mr. Howlett, and Lily are mates. That is stronger than any marriage contract."

Sirius sniffled, "Can I see Harry, I'm still his godfather, right?"

Logan raised an eyebrow when he heard that, he wasn't too sure about that one. This man was going to go after his wife, was he trustworthy? If it were up to him, he'd make the elf Harry's godfather. Logan would feel more comfortable with a mutant than a human. Magical or not. Lily gave Logan a pleading look.

He rolled his eyes, "Fine, let's go."

Lily gave Logan a grateful look. She pulled out a piece of rope and gave it to Remus, "I want you to go too, Remus."

"I don't know."

"Come on, Moony; it'll do you good to see the pup too."

"Besides, he wants to see both of you."

"Alright."

"Just say Xavier's mansion. We'll meet you there."

With that, Lily took Logan's hand and disapparated back to the mansion.

Sirius sighed, "Ready, Moony?"

"Ready."

They took hold of the rope, "Xavier's mansion."

The portkey was activated, and they were gone.

When Remus and Sirius arrived, they were in someone's living room. It was around eight at night. "Where are we?" Remus asked.

"You're in Westchester, New York, Mr. Lupin. Welcome to our home. I'm Charles Xavier."

Remus and Sirius looked around and saw a man sitting in a wheelchair; he was smiling at them. Lily and Logan were standing next to him.

"Harry's asleep right now, I'm sure you're both exhausted how about you two go to bed, and you can see Harry in the morning. Charles tells me he has rooms prepared for you."

"If you don't mind me asking, what is this place?" Remus asks.

"It's a school, Mr. Lupin, but we can talk about that more in the morning. Logan, show our guests to their rooms."

Logan glared at Charles but agreed, "Come on, they're this way."

Remus and Sirius followed Logan and Lily the stairs, Sirius noticed that Lily reached out for Logan's hand intertwining her fingers with his. Sirius felt a pain in his heart.

Remus noticed as well, and it occurred to him that Lily never did that to James, it was rare for them to show any affection and when they held hands, it was usually James reaching for Lily's hand. He should have known something wasn't right between James and Lily.

Logan took them to the room that was just down the hall from his and Lily's room. Charles thought that Remus and Sirius would be more comfortable sharing a room at least for tonight, so he gave them the room that had double beds in it but was still a good size room. When they walked into the room, Remus and Sirius noticed that there was a pair of pajamas on each bed.

"Charles thought you would feel more comfortable in pajamas," Lily tells them.

"Thank you, Lily, for everything. We'll see you in the morning," Remus tells her.

She hugs Remus and smiles at Sirius then leaves them alone. Sirius sat down on the bed and stared at Remus angrily, "How can you be nice to her; she used James!"

"No, she didn't, Padfoot. James knew exactly what he was getting into. He knew for a long time that Lily didn't love him, but he wanted her no matter what. You can't blame any of this on Lily."

Sirius huffed and went to the bathroom to change. He came out of the bathroom and went straight to bed, "Goodnight, Moony," Then he rolled over and gave his back to Remus.

Remus sighed, "Goodnight, Padfoot," Remus then got up and changed.

Meanwhile, Logan took Lily to his room, where Kurt was sitting in his armchair, waiting for them to return. He had Harry in his arms, slowly rocking the baby. He looked up and smiled at them, "Der Kleine Engel (The little Angel) just fell asleep, he found my tail very intriguing."

Lily smiled at Kurt and took the baby from him, "Thank you, Kurt, for watching him for us."

"It was my pleasure, Lily. Now I shall bid you both goodnight."

"Goodnight, Elf," Logan says. Kurt smiles and squeezes Logan's shoulder.

"Ah, I almost forgot, Ororo left some clothes that she thought would fit you for tomorrow."

"Thank you, Kurt; I'll be sure to thank her tomorrow."

Kurt nodded and left the room. Logan goes to his closet and grabs a shirt for Lily instead. She gladly takes it and changes into the shirt. After changing, Lily walks over to the window. She stares up at the twinkling stars and thinks of James. Smelling the salt of her tears, Logan walks up behind his wife and hugs her from behind.

"He shouldn't have died for us," Lily whispers, but Logan still hears her.

"I know, and I will always be grateful to him for protecting you and Harry."

Lily turns around and buries her head in his shoulder. Logan holds her tight and lets her cry out her grief. After a while, Logan lifts her head and wipes away her tears. He kisses her forehead, "You must be tired after everything that's happened. Why don't we go to bed?"

Lily smiles up at him and nods. She goes over to Logan's bed and crawls in next to their sleeping son. Logan gets in bed after her, making sure that Harry is safe between both of them. He reaches over Harry and begins to rub Lily's back until she falls asleep. Logan stays up for a while longer, gazing at his son and wife. He sighs and finally drifts off to sleep.
