Chapter One

New York, July 14th 1995

Jennifer Potter took a sip from her cup looked at the files of her latest case. As an NYPD homicide detective and an Auror of MACUSA she was very busy woman. Fortunately, a lot of her no-maj cases and her magical work was the same. That's why MACUSA fabricated a lot of her files to put her into this position. That was very convenient for them that they don't need to worry about wizards committing crimes in non-magical world. Jen will do it. Yeah maybe it's not the same what normal Auror would do, byt still.

This case was different than any other she was working on lately. All the leads were connecting in England and Jennifer could not find any evidences in New York.

'You are at this case for hours now Jenny' her partner Jack Sullivan put his hand at her shoulder. 'Don't you think that it is enough for today? Reggie is waiting for you at home, doesn't he? And if I am right you promised your daughter to practice for this thing in her ballet school.'

'Ok, but pleas book us ticket to London, we have to go there and ask some question. I'd like to do this myself. Anyway how is that you have better knowledge about my life than I have Jack?' Jennifer looked at her partner with a soft smile. At age of 27 she was a true beauty. Her hazelnut eyes were soft and gentle but if necessary they could freeze you in seconds. She had long and soft dark hair usually in bun.

'Will do! And as to your question, well Jen' he replied with a smirk 'I am stalking you constantly. I still have hope that you'll break with your husband for me'

'Yeah sure! Wait I'll print my divorce papers!' Jen laughed and stood up just to almost fall in Jack's arms. 'Sorry my head is spinning. Give me a second'

'Did you eat?'

'No, I was too busy. I'll be ok, don't worry Jack'

'Yeah I'll stop worry when a doctor check on you'

An hour later Jenny was walking out of hospital with a very surprising diagnosis. At the parking, she noticed a familiar car so she went there. The young handsome man inside was reading a newspaper but smiled and wave at her when she get closer.

'Hi Tommy what are you doing here?'

'Jack called us that he dropped here so I came. Are you ok?'

'Nothing wrong. Let's go home, I cannot wait to see Kali and Reggie"

'As you wish ma'am'

Regulus Arcturus Black was not dead as many have thought. Minutes before he'd be gone a house elve, Warden, showed and with elves' magic took him out of that tariffing cave into Al's house. Alexia-Kate Rood was the only person who knew where he was going and why. She was against that. Still he went to a suicide mission and he was back. Thanks to her care he was more than ok in few months. Unfortunately, he couldn't go back to his life. Regulus Arcturus Black, the Deatheater, had to be gone. So, he and his brother's pregnant ex-girlfriend took a flight to New York to star over somewhere else. Some years later he and Jennifer Potter get married and had a beautiful baby girl – Kaliope.

'Reggie, we need to talk' Jennifer sat at the couch and let her husband to pull her closer to him. Regulus hugged her and place a soft kiss on the top of her head. She knew that he's listening to her. 'I have to go to London soon. My case is so hard and we need to look closer to this. Yeah I know that it's not by protocol, but I have this weird feeling you know. There is no way that wizards are not involved so I've already took care of my boss and he'd done the paperwork. I'll send an owl to MACUSA later. Jack booked tickets for us and we are going in two days.'

'I'd like you stay home baby' Regulus said ' but I get you want to go after your case. Just promise me you'll take care of yourself there'

'I will Reggie. I think that I'll visit Harry. I doubt that he even gets my letters. Perhaps Petunia keep them from him or something. I hate the think that Harry feel bad at her house. And I just want to meet him so much.'

'I get you. Please if I wouldn't know my niece and nephew I would be dying to get to know them. Are you going to try to find someone else while you'll be in London?'

'I thought that I will go to see Moony, I missed him you know. And this pills Nate is taking, I think they would be good for Monny too, they have the same fury problem after all' Regulus laughed at that. 'And maybe he knows something about Sirius?'

'Maybe…'

'Baby, I want to tell you one more thing' Jennifer moved in his arms so that she now faced him 'After we'll close this case I'm going to take a long leave from both NYPD and MACUSA. And I think we'll need to change some things around the home. I'm pregnant'

'That's amazing!' Regulus pulled her closer and kissed hard. After a while they took a long deep breath 'You have no idea how happy I am that we are going to have another baby. Kali needs someone to play with'

Jennifer smiled at her husband and put his hand on her belly.

'I am so happy too'

'Now you have to be extra cautious in London'

'I will'
