Well, well, I decided to to update. I was so excited to see how many people read the story, but disappointed at the number of reviews. I guess I can't be too picky, because FacFic wasnt working properly ... anyways I hope you can understand this one. Not a ton of time has passsed ...

*HW pov*


"You know Ginny, I never thought I would say this, but I don't think I'm going to get my job back until the kids are older. I'm just so busy, and I know your mum would love to watch them all the time, but I hate being away from them … you know?" I said as we sat on the couch talking, while our kids played in the next room.

"Yeah, I know what you mean … I know it's not what everyone wants to do, but I doubt anyone but us could handle kids like James, or the twins. I swear they get into trouble every time I blink." She laughed.

"Yeah … the twins love to try and 'help' their dad out," I laughed. "Just yesterday, Fred was looking for his wand for over an hour before he could leave for work, and it turns out, the twins were babysitting it for him … oh those two."

"Well, it's not like Fred would get in trouble by his boss …" Ginny began with a smile.

"Mum!" yelled Lily as she can running into the room. Her long, straight, red hair bounced down her back, so much like her mum in looks, but you could definitely see her Grandma/name sake in her facial features. As she got closer I could tell she had fallen down recently, because she had a scratch on her knee, that was bleeding. "The boys are in the play house, and they took Sapphie postage! They won't let her out and play with me!"

"You mean hostage?" Ginny asked her 5 and a half year old daughter as we stood up to investigate the situation in the play room. She was very talkative for her age, and was always learning new words from her older brothers and cousins. She also, usually got them mixed up with other words, but we could usually figure out what she really meant to say.

We walked into the play room, where Fred had built a little 'fort' for the kids, and sure enough we could tell there was a 'hostage' situation.

"FIRE!!!! THERE'S A FIRE IN HERE!" yelled James as the other boys laughed.

It seemed that they were playing their favorite game … pretending Fire, really was a fire … my poor baby, why on earth did her father give her that nick name when she was born? … and why did it stick with her?? Lily was the only one of her cousins who called her 'Sapphie.' … Sometimes Joey did too when the older boys weren't around.

"HURRY MEN! GET SOME WATER!" laughed Trevor. And then all the rest of them laughed again.

"No guys, no water! Member last time?" reminded Tyler. He was always the one who looked out for his baby sister.

"Oh yea … maybe we should stop," said Albus, who was always a little on the shy side.

"Yea" agreed Johnny, "My dad got really mad last time, and plus, she's not laughing anymore."

The next thing I knew Sapphire was coming out of the little door with a smile on her face and her little stuffed unicorn Stella in her hands. … I guess we didn't need to help anyways.

Ginny and I went back into the family room to continue our tea time.

I looked at Ginny, "That's another thing, the kids grow up so fast. They would do half of the growing at your mum's house, while I was at work, and I would miss everything … Well all the cute things, before they become teenagers!"

"So true, they grow up so fast. I can't believe James is already 10! He goes to Hogwarts next year!"

"I know, I think I'll have a mental breakdown in two years when Johnny goes to Hogwarts," I joked, "So I heard Harry got offered the position of Head Auror already, people said it would take more than 10 years, but I knew he would do it sooner." I laughed

"Yeah, I'm just glad he won't have to do as many raids. You know Harry, always in the action. He also said he won't have to work as many hours now though …"

"Yeah, that's very exciting. I heard Natasha wants Charlie to get a desk job, so he'll be home more … and that's understandable with Bradley just being born. Five boys are a lot to handle on your own. I mean three boys born in three years, that's a lot to deal with … I don't think they expected Bradley to arrive. She needs someone else home more."

"Yeah I think Natasha was really surprised last Christmas when she found out she was pregnant again." Agreed Ginny, "Yeah and yesterday I went to see Fleur, and she has her hands full with Rylan. He's one and he's as bad as James was when he hit his terrible twos."

"Oh no! This family can't take having any more trouble makers! We better tell your mum she's not going to get 24 grandbabies … 23 is enough!" I joked …

Not even ten minutes later we were interrupted again.

"Mum!" yelled Lily as she ran back in the room, but this time she was followed by Sapphire, who looked as if she were going to cry.

Lily, who has always been the spokes person of the two (Lily and Sapphire are very close and always play together at family functions), started to tell what happened. "So Sapphie and I were in the play room with Leah and Stella, (those were their matching stuffed unicorns Fred had gotten them. Leah was Lily's and she was purple, and Stella was Sapphire's and she was hot pink.) when the boys came over and STOLE STELLA! Now their holding her postage and won't give her back until we bring them chocolate chip cookies. I tells them we were going to get them, but we really came here! Stupid boys." Lily finished looking angry, but happy with herself for being so tricky.

Sapphire, on the other hand got more and more upset during the story, and her big blue eyes were still shinning with tears by the end. She pushed her auburn hair that fell in her eyes back and looked at me. "Momma! Yous have to save her!"

I picked her up and set her on my lap. "Well sweetie, I happen to know someone who can help you, but they're not going to get here for another couple of minutes, so how about I braid your hair so you can see without your hair falling in your eyes, while we wait for him." She just nodded her head and listened to Lily as she talked about who she thought would help them get the missing unicorn back.

"I bet it's Hagrid! He's so nice and could squash the boys with one finger. Plus he likes us more then them,"She was saying.

Recently Sapphire's thick, curly hair was getting longer, so it would fall in her eyes. I don't want to cut it because it's cute, so I take the hair in the front and French braid it to the side. It's really cute, and it acts as a head band, while the rest of her hair falls down to her shoulders.

Right as I finished putting the hair wrap in at the end of the braid, the fire place turned green. "It looks like he's here!" I told the girls.

Fred came out of the fireplace a moment later, "DADDYYY!!!!!" yelled Sapphire as soon as she saw him. She ran over to him and he picked her up.

"How was your day been princess? I see Lily's here, did you two have fun?!" He asked her.

"It was fun!" she said looking excitedly, but then she remembered her missing unicorn and her face fell.

"What happened?!" asked Fred getting worried.

"Stewa's postage!" Sapphire said sadly, as she held back tears. He looked over at me questioningly, but then Lily started talking.

"Well Uncle Fred, it was the boys! First they took Sapphie postage, but dont worry. I helped save her, but now they have Stella! Yous got to help us!" she said importantly.

"Oh no! Not Stella! Don't worry, I'll help you teach those boys a lesson!" Fred smirked as he led the girls out of the room. He turned back in the doorway and mouthed "NOT POSTAGE!" to Ginny mockingly. I laughed.

Fred told the girls to some how get the boys to come out of the play house and then he would take care of the rest.

As they entered the room Fred hid so the boys couldn't see him. Lily walked up to the front door and knocked, but then yelled, "BOYS … COME OUT!"

Sapphire finished, as she put her hands behind her back. "We have cookies!"

The boys stuck their heads out the window to see if they really had them. "Show them to us!" said Johnny skeptically.

"Yea, how do we know you really have them?!" agreed James

Sapphire got an innocent look on her face (so much like her father). "Of course we have the cookies? I want Stella back!"

The boys seemed to think that Sapphire wouldn't lie to them, so they all came running out of the little door to get cookies. The next thing they knew, they were all hanging from the ceiling from one foot.

"AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" the girls laughed and pointed. Sapphire went to get Stella as she fell on the ground. James dropped her, because he was so surprised.

"Now boys," Fred said as he came into view. "What have I told you about picking on my little princess?" he picked up Sapphire and Lilly, "I think you should tickle them girls, while they're stuck there."

The girls tickled them, but the real reason the boys were laughing was because he had hit them with the laughing charm.

"Fred…" I said as I came into the room, "Let the boys down. I think they learned their lesson, and plus it's time for James and Albus to leave."

"Oh fine … but you always ruin my fun!" He laughed as all the boys fell.

James and Albus said a quick good bye, and left with Ginny and Lily.

Soon we all sat down to dinner to ate. Dinner wasn't even over and Sapphire started to fall asleep. She was worn out from her day of fun with Lily, and the boys. Fred got up and cleaned her off, grabbed Stella and took her upstairs. It looks like she was tired from her long day as a 'postage.'


Well?! What do you think? Sorry if there's any mistakes, haha I'll update soon, -Grace
