Epilogue — One Year Later
"Mum!" A ten-year-old Silence called through the house on the nineteenth of August. "Hogwarts letters are here!" Lily walked up to her, a one-year-old Faith on her hip. She took the letters and set them on the kitchen counter. She passed Faith to Silence, who took Faith to the living room to play, as she walked to the door. She opened it to see Jessica with her fiancée, Jason, Jenn and Remus, who were expecting a baby boy, and Amarante and Sirius with Katie, who was being carried by her father.
"Hello!" Lily cried, hugging Ama, Jenn, and Jessica. "Come in, Faith's with Si in the living room." She told them, and led them through the house as James came downstairs with Harry. Caitlin was beside Silence, and Glory was watching from the couch as they playing with Faith, who was giggling at her sisters. James came in after the group of people and scooped up the redhead, who laughed more. "James!" Lily cried, and James smiled, passing the little girl to his wife.
"She's so sweet!" Jessica said, and Lily nodded.
"She acts just like James—lazy." She said with a smile, and James hugged her.
"But you wouldn't have me any other way." He said, and Lily nodded. "Good. Come on, guys. Sit." He said, and gestured to the couches, and chairs set up in the room.
"Happy birthday, Faith," Ama said as she passed, and took Katie from Sirius. "So, Lily, are you going back to teaching this year?" She asked as she sat down on the couch beside Sirius.
"No. I'll just go, but stay with Faith. I resigned earlier, and Dumbledore understood. The letters came today." She said, and Ama smiled.
"Say hi to Poppy for me." Sirius told James, who smiled.
"She hasn't forgotten about you, Padfoot. She's still mad about you stealing her hangover potion."
"She knew that was me! Damn." Sirius exclaimed, and Ama swatted at his head. "What?"
"There are children in the room, Sirius!" She cried, and he lowered his face to be level with Katie's.
"Sorry, little girl. You too, Faith."
James snorted, and Lily set Faith down. She crawled over to Sirius and pulled at his pant leg. He took Katie, and put her down with Faith, who giggled, and started to crawl over to the new child.
"Tea?" Lily offered, but Sirius shook his head, and Ama stood.
"Sorry, Lily. We're on our way to Mungo's. We think we might be pregnant again." She smiled, and Sirius stood up, lifting Katie from Faith's reach.
"Us, too, Lils. We're going to visit my mum." Jason said apologetically, and Lily shrugged, smiling.
"Me and Remus have to get this little boy home." Jenn said, rubbing her swollen stomach. "We've just come from my parent's, and I think he's getting a little tired."
"Bye, Prongs." Remus said as he passed. "Bye Lily." He kissed her cheek. Jenn and Remus departed, soon followed by the other two couples.
"Well," James said as the kids went upstairs later that night. "I'd say that Faith had a good first birthday."
"I'd say that we have a lot more faith in each other thanks to that little girl." Lily said, glancing up the stairs. James smiled, and kissed Lily. She broke away and walked into the kitchen, sitting down at the table.
"Love you." James whispered in her ear.
"Love you more." Lily retaliated, turning to face the man.
"Impossible."
(Sob). That's the end. This is for all of my reviewers.
