The months after Maia was returned home things were becoming more and more dangerous in the UK. Luna left school to join them full time and Severus made the decision it was best for them to take up permanent residence at Grimmauld Place for now. The Black wards would keep the girls and his fathers safer and it would make it easier for Gideon to come and go for the Wizengamot in safety.

Gideon turned to Molly and Bill. "Are you sure the two of you are ready for this?"

Molly hugged him. "Someone needs to be there when Hermione gives birth to my grandchild. For the sake of the baby we'll be there."

Gideon turned to Bill "You and Fleur are still willing to take the baby and raise it?"

Bill nodded. "Fleur is due with our son in a few weeks and the babies will be close enough in age to raise as twins. No matter what the baby is s Weasley and innocent of his or her parent's crimes."

Gideon was relieved. "I keep telling myself that taking their baby is different then what happened to my fathers with me but it is a comfort to know it will be with you."

"Your dads had their baby stolen Gideon. My grandchild is lucky you're looking out for it. Percy and Hermione will be in prison soon enough." Molly pointed out.

"Just send me word when the baby is born and I'll come. I'd like to see it and I'll bring the aurors to arrest those two." Gideon said.

"You know Charlie and the others will be with you in London and I'll return if you need me." Bill reminded him.

"Stay with your wife and new children. You can stay at Potter Castle since we keyed you in or any of my other properties." Gideon told him.

"We'll stay put in the UK until the war is over but Fleur and I have spoken of returning to France when this is all over with." Bill admitted.

Molly looked close to tears. "I know France has become your home but I hope you won't stay away as you did before."

Bill hugged her. "You know we won't and France is a short floo away for you. You know I'd never keep either from you. And you have Charlie and the twins, not to mention Gideon and Maia, and your brother and Ciara. Besides it won't be until after the war."

Molly laughed at that. "I do have an abundance of family I know. I just hope Charlie doesn't run back off to Romania when this is done."

Gideon decided it was safe to take his leave. "Here is the portkey to Potter Manor. You guys are keyed in so there won't be any problem. Send word when it happens."

Molly and Bill hugged him one last time before they disappeared off to find Fleur who with Gabrielle would be going with them. Fleur had been quite honoured when she found out she was to be Maia's godmother and had announced at the time that she was pregnant and due around the same time as Hermione seemed to be.

Gideon walked back to see his husband who had their daughter in his arms. Severus looked up. "Ready to head home?"

Gideon sighed. "I was starting to think of this place as home. We have been here for so long and it was out daughter's first home."

Severus leaned in to kiss him. "If you'd like when this war is over we can make this our primary home again. I agree, I'd rather be here then Grimmauld place."

His dads came into the room. Regulus shook his head. "I haven't been back to that house since I was a teenager. This is going to be odd."

Gideon smiled. "You know the place hasn't changed since you left. If you want I'll give you guys the house as your own."

Fabian laughed at his son. "Already sick of us and your little sister already? I thought you'd at least be able to give us some where better to live at the very least."

Gideon reached down and scooped his sister up into his arms. Maia and Ciara were nearly four months old now as it was nearly November and Gideon tried to spend as much time with his sister as he did with his daughter.

"You know you guys are welcome in my home forever and if you ever want your own you can have your choice of my estates." Gideon assured them.

Regulus took his son by the arm. "Time for me to face the old demons and head home."

Gideon took one last look around Prince Manor before he walked with his dads and husband towards the edge of the wards. Grimmauld even with them all there and Luna, Susan and Charlie, was more a headquarters then a home. He reminded himself he would finish this war and his daughter would be in her proper home again.

As they entered Grimmauld Gideon was reminded why the name was fitting. The ten bedroom home was dark and grim. He had managed to get rid of the elf heads on the walls and some of the decor but not enough for his taste. He led his fathers up to the library before they settled into their rooms.

Regulus looked up in surprise. "My mother's painting? I would have thought it would have been destroyed."

Gideon smiled. "No one could remove it or shut it up for years. Kreacher seems to like me so he told me a way of putting it to sleep."

Severus came to his side. "Is there a reason you insisted on showing them the painting before we settle the girls into their new nursery?"

Gideon took his daughter. "I haven't spoken to her since I put her to sleep. She has no idea I am her true grandson. I know it's a painting but I thought she might like to know about me and to know her son is alive. And about the girls."

Regulus smiled. "My mother was an old witch in more ways then one but she did love her family and Sirius always complained I was her favourite."

Gideon used the password Kreacher taught him. Wallburga came to life. "Well isn't it my honorary grandson Harry. Welcome back young man."

Gideon smiled. "I have a few surprises for you grandmother including I'm not your honorary grandson. I'm your true grandson, Gideon Sirius James Black."

Wallburga actually smiled. "And which of my sons might I ask bore me such a beautiful grandson as you?"

"That would be me mum." Regulus came forward. "And my husband Fabian Prewett."

Wallburga looked close to tears. "Reg? You're alive and your husband too? I thought you were dead before I died."

Regulus shook his head. "I was on the run because of Dumbledore to protect my husband who was a prisoner. Your grandson has freed us."

Gideon smiled. "I thought you'd like to know and introduce you not only to Fabian but also to the two newest members of your family."

Regulus led his husband forward. "Mum this is my husband Lord Fabian Prewett and our daughter, Ciara Prewett."

"Prewett? You came from a good family. Welcome to ours Fabian. And what a beautiful little granddaughter you have given me. Thank you."

Fabian smiled. "I hope you understand as my daughter she is a Prewett to become Lady Prewett in the future but we have honoured your family as well."

Gideon smiled. "Your family name continues though. This little princess is my daughter, your great granddaughter Maia Black-Snape, the future Lady Gryffindor Potter-Black."

Wallburga looked down at the baby. "She is quite the beauty Gideon and I'd be honoured to have her carry the Black name and title on after you."

They put her back to sleep after a time and moved towards their rooms. Severus smiled. "Well now she doesn't have to be conflicted in loving you Gideon."

Gideon turned to his husband. "Because I am her grandson?"

"Because you're a pureblood like her." Fabian offered up. "From two of the eldest lines."

Gideon shrugged. "She seemed to like me well enough before but I am happy that I am her true grandson and even if just her painting, she got to see the girls."

There were five bedrooms on that floor and five above as well. Gideon and Severus took back their master bedroom while Reg and his husband took his old bedroom while Sirius' childhood bedroom was made into a double nursery. Luna and Susan would be on the same floor while the twins and Charlie and any other order that were staying under the roof at any given time were on the top floor where Gideon had once stayed when Sirius was alive.

Gideon was sitting in the parlour on the main floor with Maia in her lap and entertaining her with a trick making little butterflies out of rose petals, when his husband came into the room.

"I have to work hours to learn how to control my powers, every day, and you can use them to entertain our daughter." Severus sounded slightly jealous.

Gideon made a butterfly land on his husband's nose. "You just need to stop thinking about it so much and relax. I'm not even thinking about what I am doing."

"I thought you were supposed to be comforting me with that comment Gideon. Do you think it makes me feel better that you do it without a thought?"

Gideon pulled him down onto the couch and kissed him gently. "You're doing amazing and you know it. We know that the powers because of my heritage are easier."

Severus lifted his daughter up. "You little one are going to be such a powerful little witch when you grow up if you're like your daddy."

Gideon smirked. "If she is like her Papa as well. I just hope when it's time for her to head to Hogwarts she can be a normal happy student at the school there."

Severus put a hand on his arm. "You know we'll finish this war soon Gideon. Our daughter and her sister or brother when we have another, will grow up in peace."

"Then maybe I should hand Maia off to her grandfather as Fabian suggested and I should join you and the girls down in the dungeons for practice."

Severus nodded and they took Maia to her grandfathers. The dungeons of the manor had been used rarely other then the potions lab Severus kept down there but like at Prince Manor, they had made a practice room here as well. It was no where near as large as the one at Prince Manor but worked well enough for them.
