The next morning James woke up and decided that he would get Haley ready so Lily could sleep longer, since she had gotten up with her last. Who knew taking care of a baby could be so hard. I feel bad for my parents now; they had two to take care of. James walked over to Haley's crib and saw that she was still sleeping so he took a quick shower and got ready for classes. Once he was ready he checked on Haley and saw that she was waking up so he took her out of her crib and walked down to the common room with her so they didn't wake Lily up.

Once they were in the common room James sat Haley on the couch and got her bottle ready. After she had finished her bottle, James burped her, changed her and dressed her.

Lily woke up and went to snuggle closer to James only to realize he wasn't there. She jumped out of bed and checked Haley's crib and she wasn't in there either. Lily was getting worried, that is until she stepped out of the room and saw James playing with Haley on the couch. He was playing peek-a-boo and making funny faces at her and she was giggling. "Morning James."

James jumped a bit and then turned and said, "Morning Flower, how did you sleep?"
"Other then getting up every two hours, yes. What about you?" Lily asked sitting beside him.

"Good, I almost put her in bed with us last night, but decided against it," James said.

"How long have you been up?"
"About an hour."
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"You looked so peaceful sleeping and you didn't need to be woken up just yet so I decided that I would get ready and take care of Haley this morning," James said making a funny face at Haley and then adding, "You should get ready we need to leave for breakfast soon."

Lily smiled at the way James was with Haley and got up. She leaned down and kissed James on the lips gently and as she headed towards her room she said, "Your going to make a great dad someday James."

Before James could say anything to that Lily was already in her room but he said, "You're going to be the mother of those children, Lily because you're the only girl I would allow to have my children."

James smiled and then went back to talking to Haley, "You and your mother are the most beautiful girls in the world to me."

Half an hour later Lily stepped out of the bathroom to hear James saying, "You know Haley, you mum and I didn't always get along. You see when I was younger I was a prat, well it was just recently that I grew up and I did it all for your mum. You see from the moment I laid eyes on her I knew I loved her. Yes I realize I was only eleven, but I knew and well every time I was around her she made me really nervous so I tended to do really stupid things that made her hate me. Every time I asked her out she turned me down and even though it broke my heart I never gave up. My persistence paid off when she finally said yes and then I was the happiest wizard in the world. Then we were given you and I don't think my life could be anymore perfect," to Haley who just looked at him and smiled as if she knew what he was saying.

Lily walked up and took Haley and placed her in her carrier and sat down by James and said, "I never hated you James I just didn't like you attitude. And you loved me since you were 11?"
James blushed and said, "You heard me?"
"Yes I heard you, now answer the question."
"Yes, I have loved you since I saw you for the first time on the Hogwarts Express," James said wrapping his arms around Lily and kissed her.

When the kiss started to get heated Lily pulled away and said, "Not now, later when Haley is sleeping."

James smile and said, "Alright, let's get food I'm starving."

Lily laughed at James and picked Haley up and walked to the portrait, where James was waiting for her. As they left their dorm James grabbed Lily's hand and took Haley's carrier from her as they walked towards the Great Hall, in James' mind, as a happy family.

They were halfway down to the Great Hall when they heard, "If it isn't the Blood Traitor, Mudblood, and Filthy Halfblood."

James whipped around and said in a deadly serious voice, "10 points from Slytherin. Don't you dare insult my family again, Snivellus, or you will suffer the consequences."

"Or you'll what Potter, do what you did again in 6th year?"

James let out an exasperated sigh and said, "That wasn't me Snivellus, that was Sirius and if you remember correctly I saved you. Besides you're not allowed to mention anything about it. Where's your partner and kid or did she leave you?"

"Severus, there you," Ann Morlow said as she stepped up beside Snape with a baby boy in her arms. "What do you want Mudblood?"

Lily rolled her eyes and said in a sickening sweet voice, "I would like to take 100 points from you just for the hell of it, but alas I can't so I will settle for taking 10 points away for calling me that foul name."

Ann turned to James and said, "You do realize that she is just with you for your money, James."

Lily started laughing and said, "My mum's a doctor, actually Chief of Medicine at one of London's finest hospitals and my day is a high ranking attorney for the government, so you see I have plenty of money of my own I don't need James'."

"What the hell is a doctor?" Ann asked.

"You would know if you took Muggle Studies," Lily said and then added, "Look it up."

James smirked and said, "Now if you two snakes, I mean Slytherin, will excuse us, we have places to be." And James led Lily and Haley towards the Great hall once again.

MEANWHILE

Sirius, Frank, Remus, and Peter were in the Common Room of their dorm trying to calm down five screaming babies while their partners were getting ready.

"Shh, Tyler stop crying for daddy please, and Tiffany please quit your giving daddy a headache," Sirius said rocking the babies.

Remus was rocking Mindy and making funny faces at her and she stopped crying and started laughing. Remus said, "Yes, your such a good baby, stopping crying for daddy."

"Sod off Remus," Sirius said still trying to get his babies to stop crying. "I think mine may be broken."

Frank had managed to calm down Nicky and said, "They aren't broken Sirius, I think you may need to change them."

Sirius looked confused, "How do I do that?"

Peter laughed and said, "Even I know how to do that."

"Fine, Wormtail since your so smart why don't you show me and change them for me?" Sirius huffed.

"Sorry mate already changed Adam and I'm not about to do it again anytime soon."

"Git. Mooney? Frank?" Sirius looked at them pleadingly.

"Sorry mate, we had to figure it out for ourselves so you do too," Remus said.

"Fine you two are traitors," Sirius said as he attempted to changes his babies.

After about twenty minutes Sirius managed to get the twins' diapers changed. By that time though, Remus, Frank, and Peter were laughing uncontrollably which was making the babies laugh too.

The girls stepped out of their rooms and Lindsy said, "What is going on here?"

"Padfoot didn't know how to change a diaper and it took him twenty minutes and 20 diapers to get it right," Remus said trying to control the laughter that was taking over his body.

"You guys didn't help him?" Alice asked.

"No, we had to do it by ourselves, and besides it was funny watching him struggle," Frank said.

Jen rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go to breakfast I'm starving."

Sirius put the twins in their carriers and picked them up and said, "Yes, food Lindsy dear, let's go," and out the door he went.

"Well I better hurry if I want to catch him. See you guys at breakfast," Lindsy said as she ran after Sirius.

"You know those two really belong together," Alice said.

"Tell me about it, now come on let's get down to breakfast before Sirius eats it all," Frank said.

In the Great Hall

"That was brilliant Lily," James said as him and Lily sat down with Haley in between them. "The look on her face was priceless after you told her to look it up."

"Well all I did was tell them the truth. I mean honestly to think I would want you for your money, honestly," Lily huffed as she put food on her plate and then turned to James and added, "You know I don't want you for your money right?"
James chuckled and said, "Of course I know that. You're forgetting I know a lot about you. Your best friend just happens to be my twin sister."

"Alright I just wanted to make sure. Speaking of Lindsy where is she and the rest of them?'

"Lilykins did you miss us that much?" Sirius said as he sat the twins down to the left of him and started to fill his plate. As soon as his plate was full Lindsy strolled up and took her seat beside the twins and Sirius.

"Not going to wait for me?" Lindsy teased.

"Sorry love, but I was hungry," Sirius said as he shoveled in the food.

"Well how did everyone sleep?" James asked as everyone else took a seat.

"Sirius and I were up just about every hour with the twins," Lindsy said and then whispered to Sirius as everyone else answered the question, "Do you have my potion?"

"Yeah, you need it?" Sirius whispered.

"Not yet, I'm going to try and tough it out, but if I start getting dizzy you'll have to give it to me quickly."

Sirius smiled and said, "Alright."

After everyone was finished eating breakfast they made their way to their first class which was Defense Against the Dark Arts. They took their seats and waited for Professor Cleary to come in.

Lily took Haley out of her carrier and was holding her when Professor Cleary came through the door and said, "Alright class pay attention, today we are going to be going over the Unforgivable Curses." Then not being able to resist a sarcastic comment said, "I see you boys have been busy, babies already. Hope they've been keeping you up all night."

Sirius stood up and said, "They have, especially when you have two of them crying together."

"Well Mr. Black you shouldn't have let your broom out of the broom shed," Cleary said and then snickered. "Alright now let's get down to business. Who can tell me what the Unforgivable Curses are and what do they do?"
Alice raised her hand and said, "One if the Curtacius (Don't think that's how it's spelled but close enough) Curse and it inflicts an extreme amount of pain on a person. If kept on the person long enough it can drive them insane."
"Very good Miss Cade, 10 points to Gryffindor. Can anyone name another?"
Malfoy raised his hand and said, "Aveda Kedavra, the killing curse, it kills on contact."

"Good, 10 points to Slytherin. Now can anyone tell me the last one?"
Lily raised her free hand and said, "The Imperius Curse, it allows the caster to completely control the person that it has been casted upon. In some cases people are able to fight it."

"Very good Miss Evans, 15 points to Gryffindor. Now I am getting permission from the Ministry to teach you to be able to fight the Imperius Curse. Well since I don't have permission to do it today, you are all dismissed and good luck with you babies."

Classes were uneventful for the day and after dinner everyone went back to their common rooms.

"How about Friday you all say in our common room and we can leave for Hogsmeade together," Lily said.

"That's a great idea, Flower, what do you guys say?" James said as he carried Haley and held Lily's hand.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea what do you think Frank?" Alice asked.

"Sounds good," Frank replied.

"So everyone's coming then?" Lily asked.

"Yes," they all replied.

"Good, come on Lily we need to get back to the common room and plan the Halloween Ball and lay Haley down for her nap."

"Ever feel like your being shown up?" Lily asked referring to James' fatherly image.

Everyone laughed and Amanda said under her breathe, "At least James knows what he is doing."

Peter looked confused and everyone else laughed. Then Tyler started to get fussy and Lindsy said, "Come on they are hungry so let's get back to the common room and feed them."

"See you guys later," James said.

"Bye," Lily said as she and James made their way back to their common room. Once they were inside Lily fed Haley and put her down for a nap in James' room. After putting her in her crib Lily went back to the common room and snuggled up beside James.

"James?"
"Yes Flower," James said wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close to him.

"I was wondering what Snape was talking about earlier when he asked if you were going to do what you did in 6th year."

James debated a minute before sighing and saying, "You have to promise that whatever I say stays between us."

"I promise James."

"You know about Remus right?"

"Yeah, he's a werewolf, but what does that have to do with Snape?"
"Well I have to start at the beginning," James said. "First year when we all met we hit it off right away and we became best friends and thus the Marauder's were born. Well we noticed that once a month Remus would disappear. Mid way through the year we confronted him about it and he said his mother was sick and he had to go home to see her. That was a good enough answer for us at that time, but then in second year we noticed that he disappeared at the same time every month; the full moon. So after he came back one time we confronted him again with the new information. I'll never forget the look of fear in his eyes. He was afraid that if we found out we wouldn't want to be his friends, well Sirius being the goof he is told Remus not to worry, that even though he had a furry little problem we would still be friends with him. A look of relief washed over him. Well in third year we when we were first learning about Animagus, I had an idea; we were going to learn how to become Animagi and accompany him on his transformations. By the end of fourth year Sirius and I had mastered it. Well it took Peter two months into fifth year for him to master it but he finally did it and then we started to accompany Remus on his transformations in our Animagi forms, because in animal form a werewolf bite is harmless."

"You're an Animagus?" Lily asked.

"Yes, but we are all unregistered so you can't tell anyone," James said.

"You did that for Remus? I'm proud of you James," Lily said hugging him and then adding, "You're a stag right?"
"Yeah you saw me when we took that potion in Transfiguration."

"I still don't see where Snape fits in."
"Well in 6th year Snape had said some pretty nasty thing to Sirius about him and his family and you know how touchy Sirius is with the subject of his family. Sirius knew Snape was trying to figure out where Remus went every month so he used that to plan a prank. He wrote a note that said for the three of us to meet at the entrance to the Womping Willow on the first night of the full moon and 'accidentally' dropped it in front of Snape. The day it was supposed to happen Sirius was walking around acting more arrogant than usual, but by the time I asked him what was up it was almost too late. I managed to get their before Snape got hurt but not before he saw Remus' as a fully transformed werewolf. I drug him out of there as fast as I could with a werewolf on our tail. As soon as I got him out of there I sealed the entrance. Later that night Dumbledore brought us all into his office and Sirius got detention for the rest of the year and Snape was made to promise not to tell anyone about Remus."

"So that's why you didn't talk to Sirius for almost a month last year," Lily said.

"I was pissed at him because he was being selfish and not thinking of what would happen to Remus if something happened to Snape."
"I had you all wrong James, your weren't a selfish toerag. I'm sorry I treated you so badly."

"Well I was arrogant and every time I was around you, you made me so nervous. There's nothing for you to be sorry for, all that matters is that I have you now," James said as he leaned down and kissed her. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip in an attempt to gain entrance which she gladly allowed. The kiss was becoming more and more heated and James had on arm holding Lily close to him and the other was making its way up her skirt. He rubbed her through her panties which earned him a slight moan into the kiss. He slipped two fingers inside her and she gasped breaking the kiss. James started to pump his fingers in and out of her steadily as he kissed her neck. He kissed his way up from the base of her neck to her ear and then he placed feather light kisses along her jaw line just before capturing her lips in another fiery kiss. As he moved his fingers in and out of her he could feel he muscles tighten around his fingers so he went a little faster and brought her over the edge. James broke the kiss and removed his fingers from her and fixed her skirt before pulling her close to him and kissing her on the forehead. They sat there quietly on the couch for a few minutes before they fell asleep.

Meanwhile

Sirius and Lindsy had just put the twins in their crib and they dat on the bed together.

"Thank you for telling me what's wrong with you."
"I'm sorry I kept it from you for so long, but I have to. If anyone were to find out if could be not only my in danger but all of you guys, but I'm glad I got to tell someone. I don't think I could have kept it a secret much longer without someone to help me cover it up," Lindsy said as she snuggled into Sirius' embrace.

"Don't worry love, I'm not going to tell anyone," Sirius said kissing Lindsy on the head and pulling her close before falling asleep.
