Life with twins was hectic. Not in a typical way however.

The babies were a joy, it was Sirius who was causing chaos. He would constantly worry if he was 'holding the baby right' or 'What if I drop them?'

He was such a good father if only he would stop worrying.

Lily and James came over often. Lily wanted James to "practice" being around babies. That led to Ophelia becoming quite attached to James. Literally and figuratively. She loved him. Athena took countless pictures of Ophelia with James, Sirius and Remus. Definitely a daddy and uncles girl.

Apollo on the other hand was always with Mommy or Lily. He was such a sweetheart, while Lia would cause trouble any chance she could.

At one month she would be pulling Sirius's hair and making it look like Apollo did it.

She was a spitting image of Sirius. Big grey eyes and she was sporting black curly hair. Apollo looked just like Athenas dad. Or the pictures she had of him. His big brown eyes always staring back at her.

They guessed they got lucky because the two weren't very fussy.

Then Harry was born.

His first two months of life were shared with the twins. The three even though they were babies were fast friends.

Then the prophecy came.

The Potters were no longer safe.

Lily and James took Harry into hiding. The Blacks visited often as they could, but dark times were coming.

"Sirius, can you grab a bottle from the fridge?" Athena asked keeping the squirming one year old in her arms.

As Sirius grabbed the bottle Ophelia and Harry were in a match of tug of war. Ophelia was definitely winning. Athena couldn't help but laugh. Ophelia had a habit of beating up her brother and cousin. But whenever her parents would catch her, she would bat her big grey eyes and Sirius, James and even Lily would melt. She was definitely Sirius's daughter.

James was moderating Ophelia and Harry's tug of war match, while Athena fed Apollo. Lily was knitting. She had gotten significantly better since the hat she made for Harry a little over a year ago.

Remus would come and visit when he could. And of course Ophelia won his heart. She was a practically a mini Marauder at this point. He hadn't been able to come for while. Which has had an obvious affect on Sirius and James.

Lily and Athena tried to cheer them up. But the only time they were truly happy was when they were with the kids.

"Goddess look at this!" Sirius was floating giggling Ophelia in the air.

"Did you just Winguardium Leviosa our child?" Athena laughed.

"Yes, yes I did" He winked as Apollo and Harry crawled over wanting a turn.

"Wait we can do that?!" James looked excited walking over.

"JAMES FLEAMONT POTTER YOU BETTER NOT!" Lily called from the kitchen, but it was already too late. Harry was in the air.

Athena couldn't help but laugh, baby Harry just babbling as he floated.

"I love you."

"I love you too darling." Athena smiled.

"I love them too." Sirius looked at the baby monitor.

"I know, they know." Athena nodded, "Is something wrong."

"Just a bad feeling." Sirius shrugged, "If anything goes wrong."

"Okay" She kissed his cheek,"It won't go wrong"

"You don't know that" He held her hand

"As long as I have you, I will be happy"

He pressed his lips to Athenas and then the muffled sound of crying filled their ears.

"I got Ophelia" Athena sighed getting out of bed.

"I got Apollo" He slid on a shirt.

The flat was filled with baby toys, Athena stepped on two daily.

Sirius and Athena walked into the nursery and looking back at them were their kids standing up begging to get out.

"Happy Halloween kiddos" Sirius smiled.

All he got was babbles and laughs in return.

"They don't know what that is Sirius" Athena pointed out, picking up Lia.

"I can pretend" He smiled back,"Plus, I know it's your favorite holiday!"

Little did She know it never would be again.

"Athena!"

"Yes love?" She poked her head out from the couch to see Sirius pacing.

"Something wrong, I can feel it"

"What?"

"Lily and James"

"Now, Sirius im sure it's just a feeling"

"I need to go!"

"Sirius"

"I love you Goddess, I'll be back I promise"

Athena kissed him and wrapped her arms around him.

"You better"

A few hours past and Athena had an uneasy feeling in her stomach. She decided to go check it out.

Athena quickly put the twins in the stroller and went to Godric's Hollow.

She ran down the street but nothing in this entire world would prepare her for what she saw. Tears streamed down her face as she pulled the stroller to the house. As Athena began to walk up, she saw Hagrid walking out with something his arms. Harry.

"Hagrid where are you taking him?" Athena yelled.

"His uncle and aunt" Hagrid said sadly, looking down at the baby.

"No"

"Dumbledores orders"

"DUMBLEDORE IS NOT HIS GODMOTHER" Athena screamed trying to reach Hagrid.

"I'm so sorry Athena but I have to take him"

Tears were streaming down the young woman's face.

She left the stroller and ran into the house.

Laying there in the living room was James Potter. Dead. Her whole being was filled with sorrow. Just days ago her was holding my children. One of her best friends dead. She didn't know what else to do. So Athena did all she could. Athena bent down and closed his eyes. At least in death, he would be at peace. Then she walked upstairs. Laying next to Harry's crib was Lily. Athena's best friend the whole world was dead. Her red hair spread across the floor. Her whole body was numb. Tears streaming down Athenas face like a water fall.

"I'll watch over Harry, I love you Lils" Athena sobbed shutting her eyes as well.

Athena felt another presence behind her. She turned around and there was Minerva.

"Athena"

"Minny" She sobbed falling into her arms.

"It's alright" She stroked her hair.

"Wheres Sirius?" Athena sobbed

Then they heard yelling outside. Immediately Athena ran out.

"Sirius Black you are going to Azkaban for the murder of Lily and James Potter, Peter Pettigrew and 11 muggles"

"NO!" Athena screamed with everything she had "HES INNOCENT!"

Athena saw his face one last time and she heard him say one simple thing.

"Make sure they know I'm innocent goddess" He blew her a kiss as Minerva picked up the twins. Tears streaming down her face.

"I promise"

And that's just what Athena did.
