It was a rather rainy evening when Walburg Black started to feel the sharp pains of childbirth, oh sure her mother prepared for all the steps and motions. But the audience was something that she was not expecting, surely it'd be alright to scream bloody murder as a small infant child is pushed out of the likes of you. Luckily, the small baby admitted a sharp cry into the air that masked their mother's curses...As well as a followed by a strike of lighting and thunder.

All topped off by an applaud from the crowd, for her job well done.

A boy. She had done it.

Orion Black, the woman's husband and the proud new father of the next generation of Black had kneed down to his wife in pure fascination. Gripping her hand once more and bringing it to his lips. "Bless you, my beautiful wife, you have given me a son." He spoke so softly, going to her head and kissing her temple.

Not minding the drops of sweat lingering around her.

There had not been any attempt on names, considering the lineage of the Black's family history and how noble the house in itself is. So she looked over to her husband, their newborn little lad all cozied up in the layers of blankets as the wet nurse had cleaned him up and presented him to the newly found mother.

She found herself smiling ever so weakly towards the little boy. Then up to her husband. "He must have your name darling, but I cannot think of a first." Orion found it a struggle as well, there were a few he had his heart set on. Regulus was one of them, but it was almost a calling as the small body popped his eyes open to see a glimpse of the world.

Orion Black smiled down to the boy, the very light in the boy's eyes glistened with his heart's content as he gurgled to himself, already getting himself comfortable into his mother's arms, all while scanning the room around him. As well as test out the freedom of his limbs, and figure out their true limits.

"Sirius..." The man mumbled out, making Walburg look up to catch the gist of it. She knew it had to be a star name in some matter of terms, but she smiled none the less. Booping the boy's nose to get a giggle. "Sirius...Orion Black...Of the noble house of Black." She whispered, but her tired demeanor would not go unnoticed by her husband as he offered to take the child.

Sirius wasn't a fussy boy, but he did take a moment or two to get comfortable into his father's arm. "I'm sure Cissy and Andromeda would love to see him in a bit, perhaps Bella as well?... Rest love, you did give it your all." He whispered once again, placing the boy into the cot beside his mother before the two of them had turned into a restful bit of sleep.

When the mother woke up, she was greeted by the cool air of a darkened room. It was past midnight now, Sirius had been quite silent as she turned her body to look for a moment. Orion is off celebrating his new title of being a father, but she smoothed back the hair of the little boy in front of him.

However, what still was plaguing her mind was the dream. The vision she had, of another child, born in the same year as Sirius...To become a great protector of the noble house of Black. The women had taken it upon herself to call for the house-elf, demanding a bit of refreshment and her husband to hear of the news.

"Orion, I have great news..." He chuckles, the obvious bit of well-aged fire whiskey on his breath, but she kept her spirits high.

"I've had a vision...A vision of another child." It felt like a sober wash splashed onto the man's face, he looked down to Sirius as the boy was perfectly content. But then looked to his wife, she had known prior to when she was pregnant. Knowing that he was going to be a boy, her indication has always been right but this...Seemed like a prophecy.

He sat down on the ends of the bed as she propped herself up, indulging him in what had occurred in her dream. How another child, born just after Sirius in the Black name should be born. Not shall. Should.

"Y-you wish to get pregnant again?" He hadn't thought he heard her correctly as his mind was soaring through the possibilities. Could she even get pregnant again that quickly? Did she want to suffer through it once more just to fulfill her vision?

"They grow in favor with the Dark Lord, love I saw him in awe...In hopes of this child to have a bright future." She nods, continuing to sell him on the idea. However, they had their plans set for the given week, to get used to the idea of one child...before having another.

When the Dark Lord was finally notified of the views the women had shed, he was...amused. He gave his blessing, and the two happily followed in the deed of making another sibling for the little Sirius Black. Just mere weeks after he had been born.

Soon after the discovery, Walburg was flourishing in the life of being pregnant once again. Having her darling Nieces over to get a glimpse of the baby as well as her very pregnant stomach, all in which gave her sister in law hope that her three daughters see what is in store for them in the near future.

The swell of her stomach was a proud image indeed, Orion was not at all hopeful for her to fall pregnant so quickly but it was never the less a welcome. He wanted more children, since he grew up with the idea of surrounding family. 

What was another child going to hurt? 

Especially since the child already was under the view of the Dark Lord without them being even exiting the womb.

For whatever reason or another, Walburg was much more delighted this time around. Her symptoms were lessened, perhaps she had grown immune? The ideas never really stuck with Orion as he would take a few moments with his son every few hours, just watching the oddest things about the boy.

His eyes were one of his father's favorite features, Sirius was already naturally curious. Looking around and about, fussy once in a while, but once he was calm it was a bundle of laughs. However, when it came down to Walburg once again in the same predicament as per nine months ago. She felt her body kicking into gears to deliver the baby, with much more ease and grace as the little baby came out.

The midwife washed off the child and presented the parents with the newly born baby. 

A daughter. 

It had the world stop on either of their shoulders. What would the Dark Lord think? A girl from Walburg's vision was not what she discussed or cared for.

However, the mother held the girl to her chest, and instead of a loud fitful cry like her brother had managed. She just looked around and about, with the same eyes as Sirius and the same mop of black hair on top of the head.

This time, however, Narcissa and Andromeda stayed back to look at the new girl within the family. And that managed a smile out of the woman's face. Perhaps the baby wasn't meant to be a girl, but she could give plenty of children to the respected household that she would marry into. 

The two theoretical boys were in hopes of carrying out the Black lineage, once again placing the weight on the little baby of Sirius Black.

Not that that mattered at the moment as Orion just felt the accomplishment of himself and his wife. It was a blissful time in the household, and although Orion wanted to be closer to his son in the coming years. 

Just something about their daughter was all too alluring, what had his wife seen?

It was a difficult process in hopes of finding a name for the young girl, and for a day and a half had the name not come out into the light. However, since most of the females have already claimed a name of a star, they were hoping that their child be different.

So on July 15th, just a few days after the girl's birth. Had Walburg introduced Cassiopeia Aurora Black to the rest of their families. The two Black girls swooned and cooed over the little girl, and already began dressing her in Slytherin pride, while Sirius was held in his father's arms wondering what all the fuss and commotion was about.

Orion had taken to calling Cassiopeia, Cassi, instead of her first decided name. The stars were sacred in his family, but he couldn't deny that Aurora or Rory was a fitting name as well. It would make it much easier for Sirius to get used to calling out for his sister at shortened nicknames.

Mrs.Black did indeed have her work cut out for her, raising two infants just mere months older than the other was difficult and draining. Often times did she consider highering a nanny, but the help she had gotten from her nieces and her brother...It managed to pave the way so the women could get a breather and manage something more important.

Who Cassiopeia and Sirius would marry.

At the current moment Orion begged his wife not to worry about such matters, and since it was more of sightings for them to look for Cassiopeia while waiting on offers on Sirius. It was clear that it would be easier for their daughter.

The new son in the Lestrange family was the same age as either of them, along them to plan future get-togethers when they were old enough to come through to.

Rosier did have a son as well, by they were leaning more towards Rabastan due to his last name.

Author's Note:

Chapters will be inconsistent with size and posting for the first few chapters, college is stressful/winter break is never really a break :/

Their childhood is going to jump around a lot and an important note is that Cassiopeia Aurora Black goes by both her first and middle name as it's formal in her family to address her as a star while Aurora (Rory) is more for her brothers and friends.
