1960
Covering my ears I look wide eyed at the first born of mine and Minnie's twins "someone check the tapestry" Walburga orders looking at the baby girl that looks almost exactly like me.
Hearing someone rushing away I keep looking at the baby shocked refusing to move till Minnie screams again.
Handing the baby to mother I quickly move to help with the second that I hand to Walburga to finish with Minnie while hearing someone running back.
"The girl sits under Aquila as Head of House"
"Algol Irma Black" I mutter glancing at her and the baby.
"The demon Star" mother says frowning.
Nodding I help Minnie sit up bringing her our babies "Banshee scream and turned her hair to snakes, I believe it's the perfect name for her" I answer proudly.
"Fine, now what of your boy" Walburga asks
"Mirfak Pollux Black" Minnie answers seeing the boy smiling making Algol frown "Both names come from the constellation Perseus" she adds getting them latched.
Hearing knocking I glance over seeing Ana with our cousins keeping a hold of the younger children "just a moment" I say before helping burp them while adjusting the blankets slightly.
"Come on but quietly" I say finally.
Ceros rushes ahead of everyone climbing on the bed looking at them frowning "you wanted a sister now you have a brother and sister" Minnie says chuckling.
She nods before getting down and running out again as the others come over "not ugly like puppy was" Bella says making her sister nod.
Cissa reaches out gently poking Algol and she screams changing her hair to snakes again causing her and Andi to scream running out.
Bella cackles clapping with a wide manic grin "hold" she says sitting by Minnie.
"Be gentle Bella" Mother warns before I help her as Ceros rushes in with two toys "Momma, my sister have this one and my brother have this one" she says lifting a plush unicorn then a plush bear.
I nod pulling her up letting her hold her brother "Andi and Cissa say she's mean" Ceros says looking at her sister.
"She's our baby" Bella adds glancing at Ceros smirking.
"No using her to scare people" I say narrowing my eyes at them.
"I want to help introduce them to their ancestors" Minnie says catching my attention.
I nod as Walburga and Dru each pick up a baby while I help Minnie up then slowly make our way to the Portrait Hall.
Minnie takes a breath before taking our daughter while I grab our son "our daughter and magically chosen future Head of House Black Algol Irma Black, and our son Mirfak Pollux Black" she says holding Algol so her face is seen while I do the same with Mirfak.
We wait a moment allowing them to talk about the babies before one asks why the name Algol.
"She screams like a banshee but her hair changed to snakes" I answer looking up at the woman who was the first born of our line.
"A distraction and protection gift" she says proudly "that was my gift" she adds.
"It's rare our family has twins or more and now we have three children of House Black to bless our house with two sets of twins and triplets" another says proudly.
Nodding my head I help lead Minnie back to bed, sitting down by her I kiss her then smile "I love you Minerva" I whisper.
"Stay with me" she mumbles laying down patting the bed, smiling I lay down by her pulling her close "always" I whisper.
Two weeks later
Getting up I smile seeing Ceros standing by the crib looking in at them "what are you doing Unicorn" I whisper picking her up.
"They can't play yet" she mumbles pouting.
"No, they're still to young and just want to sleep" then frown.
"Where's Aunt Walburga?" I ask.
"Trying find puppy" she mumbles glancing at me.
"And where is puppy?"
"Hiding" she mutters.
"Did you and Bella help him hide?" I ask.
She shrugs looking anywhere but at me.
Shaking my head I take her heading for the Hall "why did you hide puppy and where is he?"
Ceros sighs pointing to her room, going in I look around and see her closet slightly open as she points to it.
Sitting her down I open it and find him on blankets sleeping soundly "why are you two hiding him?" I ask after picking him up.
"Not pretty" she mutters frowning.
Chuckling I lift her to my hip "Ceros, he grows up to be a handsome man and between you and me, Uncle Orion was an ugly baby, his mom says that all the time but he's handsome now".
"But my brother's cute so don't need him" she says with a very serious look.
"But he's Walburga's baby and she'd be sad without puppy, do you want Aunt Walburga sad?"
"No, but my brother cuter" she mutters frowning.
"You're brother looks like a wrinkled old man and males from House Black are never cute babies as they age their looks grow into dashing handsome men"
"How come he's cute then?"
"Because Minnie's family has cute children that grow more beautiful or handsome, it's also why you're cousins are so pretty because Dru and Minnie are cousins, if not for them then you four wouldn't have been as cute as you all are"
"How come Aunt Myrtle had cute babies then?" She demands glaring at Sirius.
"I think you just think any baby that's not Sirius is cute" I finally say "why do you not like puppy anyways?" I ask.
"He pulls my hair and spit up on me" she mutters frowning.
"He's a baby, he can't help it and he's a Black what do we always tell you about our family?" I ask bouncing her slightly.
"We're brats before being born" she mutters pouting.
"He's a brat just a different type of brat then you and Bella, he's going to be a pain in the ass that I'll end up punishing often because he's going to be a rebel that tries to reject tradition, I'll have to get him back on leash but he will be a decent man even if I have hang him from a tree by his underwear"
She sighs nodding "fine, he can stay but I don't like him still".
"That's fine but you can't be mean to him you have to be civil because family sticks together" I say before handing him to her.
"Now take puppy back to Aunt Walburga and tell her what you did with Bella and that your sorry for hiding him"
"But she'll be mad" Ceros says glaring at me.
"You have to face punishment when you do something wrong Monoceros, now let's go find Bella"
