Here is chapter nine, I think. I dunno where my numbering went wrong.

Disclaimer: I do not hold any claim to Harry Potter, or anything associated with J.K. Rowling's books. I do however own my idea and my OCs, Silence, Caitlin, Glory, Jenn, Carol Peters, Jessica Morison, and Amarante Seta.

Chapter 9 — Events of Christmas, a Surprise, and a Wedding

They were home. Glory and Silence had bounded to their room to wrap most of their gifts, and Caitlin had trailed behind. Harry had gone into the living room to put his gifts under a Christmas tree James had conjured, and he went back to see Lily in the Kitchen.

"Lily?" He asked, and hugged her. "I'm sorry…for everything." He said, kissing the top of her head. She smiled, and walked over to the refrigerator. "I'll make supper." She said with a smile, as James turned to levitate the bags up the stairs.

"Dad! Silence called, and James dropped his wand, the bags clattering to the floor as he raced into her room. "Help!"

"Oh, Si." He said, breathing a sigh of relief before going to help Silence get the tape and wrapping paper off of her.

"Don't look!" She cried, hurtling herself onto a small pile. "You'll ruin the surprise!"

"I wouldn't want to do that, would I?" James asked, and left the room.

Christmas had arrived. Silence and Glory raced downstairs as soon as they woke up, Caitlin and Harry waking up Lily and James before following their siblings, who sat by the tree. "Can we start, can we start?" Inquired Silence, excited.

"Of course. Go ahead." James said, as he and Lily walked over to their small piles. Lily lifted the long box with a red bow first. "That's from me." James said over her shoulder.

"Yes." She said, and undid the bow, lifting the lid off the box and gasping in surprise. "Oh, James!"

"What is it, Mummy?"

"It's a rose." Lily said, tears filling her eyes. "I love roses."

"It's not just any rose, Lily," James said. He was grinning as he lifted the delicate flower out of the box and gave it to her. "Well, it is. But that's not its purpose. You said that when you saw Peter as me, and Jessica, you felt as if I didn't love you. This is the Rose of Love. I enchanted it so that it will only die if one of us dies, or our love dies."

"Oh, James! That's so thoughtful, and sweet! Thank you, so, so much!" Lily exclaimed, throwing her arms around James' neck and kissing him. He smiled as she pulled away.

"Wait, Lily. That's not all. I love you, so much, and I felt so heartbroken when you left me. I didn't know why, but I knew that I loved you. Lily, you are the one for me, I love you more than I could ever love Carol, or anyone else. Another thing my mom said was be sincere, and never give up. I gave up on you, Lily. I shouldn't have. I love more than anything, Lily-Flower, and I would be so happy if you would do me the honour of marrying me…again."

"Yes!" Lily exclaimed, hugging James. He pulled out a ring, and slipped it onto her finger, causing Lily to smile and rest her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah!" Silence said, and the four children raced over to their parents, hugging them.

The snow melted, and the Potter family went back to school, the news of the happy engagement spreading through the castle. James and Lily would only separate if necessary, but soon, Lily became worried. She went into James' bedroom, and found him snoring on the bed. She had brought the four children, and woke up James, almost hesitantly.

"James? Kids? I have some news." Lily said carefully. "I've been feeling…sick for a while now and I went to Madame Pomfrey. She said that I'm pregnant…with twins."

"What?" James asked.

"I'm going to have a baby, James. Silence, you'll be a big sister." She said, and Silence burst into a smile and hugged her mom.

"Really?" Caitlin asked. Lily nodded, and Caitlin and Glory exchanged smiles, and hugged their parents.

"But Mom, Dad…another kid?" Harry asked, his voice restrained.

"Yes, Harry. Another child. Actually, two." She said.

"But don't you love us enough?" Harry asked.

"Harry!" James exclaimed. "Me and your mother love each and every one of you, but we'll love your new siblings just as much. We love you, we always will." He said, and Lily nodded beside him.

"Harry," She said. "You're my only son. Madame Pomfrey said that it's twin girls."

"She can tell already?"

"Yes, James. Kids, you should go to class." Lily said, and the children filed out of the room, talking excitedly, Harry trailing behind.

"Wow." James said, and Lily nodded.

"Wow." She echoed. "Think of any names?"

"I like Faith. You?"

"Trust." Lily said. "It isn't a usual name, but I think that it would be fitting, don't you?" Lily asked, and James nodded, sweeping her into a kiss. "Don't forget," Lily said. "Jenny and Remus are getting married soon." She said, and James nodded. "We have to be there."

"Yeah. And we will. Oh, damn! What time is it?" James cried. "Shit, bye Lils got to go."

March faded to April, and the family of six, soon to be eight, left the castle. They arrived at the wedding a half hour early, and Lily left James with the kids. He took them to the table, and went to see Sirius and Remus.

"Jenny! Ama!" Lily cried, hugging her friends. Ama was plumper than usual, and beamed.

"It's a boy!" Ama exclaimed. "We want to name him—I want to name him Jeffery, but Sirius wants to call him Sirius Junior."

"No!" Lily exclaimed, and turned to Jenn. "Nervous?"

"Of course!" Jenn exclaimed, smiling. "I know I'm doing the right thing, though. I love Remus, and I want to spend my life with him. We won't turn out like you and James, Lily." She said. Lily's eyes widened.

"I think Lily's pretty lucky; she must be getting married. I mean, just look at that ring." Ama said, and took Lily's wrist, raising it so Jenn could see the engagement ring.

"So who's the lucky guy, Lil?" She asked, and Lily blushed.

"James Potter. I'm not only engaged; I'm pregnant." She said, and Ama hugged her.

"See, Jenny! Lily isn't even married and she's pregnant. Join the club, make the number of pregnant friends three." She said, and James came up, and hugged Lily.

"Wow, Jenny, you look so great. Remus is ready to start, you?"

"Sure." Jenn said, and Lily and Ama raced to their seats as the wedding started.

Next Chapter? Another wedding, and something is wrong with Trust. What? Review this chapter while I type the next one. Oh, and I'm thinking there's only about two to four more chapters. Tell me what you think.
