Chapter Eight

Christmas with Guy and Kali

Two months had passed since Guy and Kali were born and already the twins seemed to be about three years old. Christmas was upon them and Esme had gone all out for the twins' first Christmas.

Hermione and Edward were knelt on the floor, playing with Guy and Kali. Harry had given them a toy snitch that Kali absolutely adored.

The snitch zipped around her head and she giggled, her bronze curls flying around her as she watched the snitch avidly with her topaz eyes.

Hermione smiled softly and stroked her daughter's hair. "I can't believe how fast they're growing." She told Edward. Edward chuckled. "Me neither."

Guy clapped his hands for Edward. "Daddy! Pick me up!" He called. Edward lent over Kali and picked his son up, cradling him against his chest. Guy snuggled into his father's embrace. Hermione leaned over and placed a kiss on her son's hair, which was the same colour as her own.

Esme walked past them into the dining room, holding the cookies she had baked especially for the twins. They weren't to have them until that evening, but kids being kids, they wanted them then.

"Nana, I want a cookie!" Kali cried, reaching her arms out towards Esme. Esme shook her head. "Not now, Kali." She told the infant. Guy also began to ask for them, but Esme remained firm.

The twins soon began wailing. "COOKIE!" Guy screamed. Suddenly, two cookies rose from the plate and zoomed towards the twins. The first one landed on Guy's lap and the second cookie zoomed into Kali's hands. The twins grinned and began to happily munch on the cookies as if nothing had happened.

The three Vampires stared at the children in shock. "I guess that answers the question of did my magic pass onto my children." Hermione murmured in awe of the twins.

Kali grinned happily and offer her mother a bite of her cookie. "Mummy, eat the cookie." She cooed. Hermione shook her head softly. "No, I'm fine sweetheart." She told her daughter. Kali's grin widened. "More for Kali." She giggled.

Edward buried his face into Hermione neck and smiled happily. Finally, after over a hundred years, his life was starting to come back on track, to be perfect.

Guy yawned loudly and the two Vampire parents looked at the clock. It read midnight. Hermione leant down and scooped up Kali while Edward grabbed Guy. "Say goodnight, kids." Hermione told the twins. Kali and Guy waved to their family. "Night Nana, Grandpa. Night Auntie Rosie, Uncle Em, Uncle Jazz and Auntie Ali." They called.

The other Vampires all waved at the twins and smiled at them. They were growing up so fast already. It was astounding. Hermione and Edward ran at Vampire Speed up the stairs and into the bedroom with twin shared.

The walls were a deep blue black and had clouds painted on it. The carpet was soft and white, as if they were walking on clouds. On the ceiling were stars which Hermione had enchanted to shine like the real stars. The moon changed as the Moon outside changed. It was a very magical room.

The best thing was that it changed when the sun rose. The ceiling then reflected a beautiful clear blue sky with the sun shining down. To be honest, it was Hermione's favourite room in the whole house.

By the time their heads hit the pillows, the twins were fast asleep. Their soft breathing filled the room and the two parents stayed in the same spot for a while to watch their children sleep. It astounded Hermione that she had managed the impossible and had birthed a wonderful pair of twins out of a barren, unchanging womb.

She sat there the whole night, just watching Kali and Guy with all the care and devotion a mother could possess. She was more protective than most mothers.

Edward slipped into the room at dawn and smiled at his motionless wife. "Hermione, it's Christmas."

Hermione jumped slightly and looked out of the window. "So it is. Let's wake them up. Then we'll have plenty of time with them before the others arrive." Hermione said, moving to her son's side.

She gently stroked his hair and placed a kiss to his slightly warm cheek. Guy moaned as he woke up, blinking his big topaz eyes open.

"Mummy?" He mumbled.
"Happy Christmas!" Hermione whispered.

Guy's eyes flew open and a huge smile lit up his face. He reached up to be lifted up and Hermione pulled him into her loving embrace. She turned to see Edward had done the same with Kali.

The two Vampire Parents brought the children downstairs where the family were sat under the Christmas tree with presents.

"Happy Christmas!" They all cried.

Kali and Guy exchanged excited looks before running to the tree and presents.

"This one is for Guy and this is for Kali." Esme smiled, giving each child a present. The twins ripped them open and gaped at the two matching brooms.

"Nana! Thank You!" Kali grinned, kissing Esme on the cheek sweetly.

Guy was too excited and kept burbling all sorts of nonsense as he stared at his broom.

"Now, no playing on them until the Potters and Weasleys get here. Your uncles want to fly with you." Hermione told her children sternly. The twins pouted, but it soon vanished with another present.

After the twins had had their own special Christmas dinner, the fireplace flared green and out stepped Harry and Ginny with James.

"Uncle Harry!" The twins cried, running towards their favourite uncle.

Harry laughed and scooped the Vampire Twins into his arms, hugging them. "Hey guys."

There was a loud pop and a sea of red, punctuated occasionally by the blonde, black and brown hair of the Weasley Sons' other halves.

"So, who wants to fly their brooms?" George cried, as he and Fred lifted up their brooms.

The children, apart from little James and Fleur's son, Nathaniel, cheered and raced outside.

So that was how the rest of the afternoon was spent, the Weasley men, apart from Arthur and Percy, teaching Kali, Guy, Percy and Penelope's daughter Nadia and Bill and Fleur's daughter, Victoire how to ride a broom around the huge garden of the Cullen home, under the watchful eye of the mothers of course.
