Today was the girl's birthday. They were six. Selene was very happy. She rolled over in bed and remembered when they were born. Remus was the proudest person on the planet. One of the first things he did was run over to Bill and Fleur's to tell them of the new arrivals.
They had discovered the hard way that the girls were allergic to the sun substance, so they had to dress for the sun. Selene ordered them beautiful dresses and gloves and hats and veils. They enjoyed dressing up, so they didn't mind it. They learned their lesson about going out without gloves when they were four. Selene hated watching them screaming in the sun, their hands blistering, but the only thing she could do was bring them in and patch them up. Since that day, Selene refused to use the substance, making herself have to dress like she used to. But that was fine, because she was always with her daughters.
Selene stood and went to the bathroom. Remus was showering, humming to himself. Selene laughed at him, causing him to peek out the curtain at her.
"Are you laughing at me?" He asked, smiling.
"I am. Is there room for two in there, do you think?" She asked.
He pulled his head in and made a show of looking around, judging if there was actually enough room for his wife. "I believe there is." He said with finality. She undressed and hopped into the shower with him.
Selene walked downstairs. Since the girls were born, and their house was too small, Maurice had given Selene his house that was on the outskirts of London. It was a beautiful house with six bedrooms.
Selene began making breakfast. The girls liked her pancakes, as did Remus, so that was what she made. Remus joined her in the kitchen and she smirked, waiting for him to ask the inevitable question.
"How are you this morning?" He asked. She smirked. There it was.
"I am fine. You?" She asked. He had asked her how she was every morning since the girls were born. She wished she could respond with pregnant again.
"Fine, waiting for the monsters." He replied. They had called the girls monsters ever since they were born, seeing as their father was a werewolf and mother a vampire. They hadn't contracted lycanthropy, although they had gotten every bad thing about being a vampire that Selene had.
"Morning!" A high voice rang through the kitchen. Selene turned to see both of her daughters walking to Remus. They looked alike, so only those who knew them could tell them apart. Their eyes, one had much confidence and the other was quite shy.
Today the pale children were wearing similar blue dresses that had little bustles. Their sleeves were puffed slightly. Scarlet, the confident daughter, had the maid put her hair up, while Violet had just left it down.
The girls ran to Remus and each wrapped their arms around their squatting father's neck. He wrapped an arm around each of them. They each leaned forward and simultaneously pressed a kiss to his cheeks. They pulled away and hugged Selene, their heads coming to her waist.
They each went and sat at the table and began digging in to the plate of pancakes.
That afternoon, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Vivienne, Maurice and their daughter, Victoria showed up for Scarlet and Violet's party. Maurice rented a muggle bounce house and had it set up in what was once the ballroom. The three children played.
Harry held he and Ginny's first son, James. He was new, just a month old. Hermione seemed to look at the baby often and Selene could tell that she wanted one.
The maid brought in two small cakes, one was red and said 'Happy Birthday Violet Eve Lupin' and the other was purple with 'Happy Birthday Scarlet Dawn Lupin.' The children came running, and they all sang happy birthday to the girls.
That night, Remus and Selene tucked the girls into bed. They were asleep as soon as they were in bed. Remus went outside for a moment, claiming that it was too hot in the house. Selene found Vivienne and Maurice about to leave.
"If your going to have another baby, you'd better get on it, you don't have forever. And you're what, forty-four?" Vivienne laughed and hugged her, and Maurice said goodbye to his daughter and they left.
She found Remus sitting on the back steps and lowered herself down to sit beside him. They were quiet and he slipped an arm around her, pulling her into his side. They stayed there for a while. "I love you so much, Selene." He sighs.
"I love you, too, you big lump." She says, giggling slightly, causing him to chuckle.
Finally Selene pulled away. "I am tired. I'm going to bed." She stood and walked in the house. A few minutes later, Remus joined her, and showed her how much he loved her.
When she woke I the morning, Remus was long gone. He probably had gone for a walk. Her stomach lurched, and Selene stood from bed and rushed to the bathroom. She leaned over the toilet and retched. She sat back and thought. She didn't feel sick. She only feel nauseous, until she puked, now she felt fine.
She smiled and got in the shower after flushing the toilet.
She was in the kitchen making eggs and bacon when Remus entered, carrying the early day lilies that had bloomed. He took out a vase and placed the beautiful yellow flowers on the table.
He turned to Selene and smiled. "How are you this fine morning?"
She smiled. "Pregnant."
He just stared at her for a moment until he said, "You must be joking."
"I am pregnant this fine morning. How are you?" She asked, still smiling.
He was in front of her in two large steps and had her in his arms and spun her around. He kissed her. "I want another daughter." Is all he said before he kissed her again.
