"MOONY, MOONY, MOONY, MOONY! Hey, Sunny. MOONY!"

"You called?" Remus chuckled and I yanked his arm and pulled him to the twin's room. "No need to be violent."

"THEY SAID THEIR FIRST WORDS!" Sirius and I yelled.

"That's so great! What was it?" Solis asked leaning on the doorway.

"All right you two. Don't make us look bad, please. Tell uncle Moony and aunt Sunny what you said just now." Sirius nudged the twins. "Who's him? What do we call him all the time?"

"MOONY!" They twins said and Remus and Solis looked at us in shock.

"Their first word was-"

"Yep. Now all that's left is to teach them how to say Vixen, Prongs, Padfoot, Doe and Sunny and we'll be all good!" I smiled and hugged Remus. "You happy?"

"Ecstatic!"

"That's adorable. It reminds me of Harry's first word."

"Fuck Mum and Dad! Their first words are their aunt's and uncle's nickname."

"What was your first word, James?"

"Quidditch."

"Liar."

"Golden Snitch."

"I'm warning you. And that's two words."

"Fine! It was Didi, just like Harry. I got confused with Dada and said Didi instead I think. And then it just stuck around and I started calling Jade that."

"And her first word?"

"Murder."

"James Fleamont Potter-"

"Kidding! It was Bam, according to Mum. She said that it was because she threw a toy at me and said Bam. And I think we can all guess where my nickname came from."

"The fact that your first words became each other's nicknames is absolutely adorable."

"Yeah, I know."

"Hey, is it normal that they're not walking yet?"

"Are they standing?" I asked and Sirius nodded. "Do they show interest in walking?"

"I think. They take one step and fall but I think they do." Sirius shrugged and helped Marlene stand up.

"Then it's completely normal. Harry started walking two days before his birthday. It's completely normal." I shrugged and sat down on the floor next to him. "You're being paranoid again."

"And you're looking much better than last month. Finally going back to being a badass?"

"It varies from moment to moment." I shrugged and looked at Regulus. "Ummm, Siri? Look at Reg."

"Holy shit! Pup, you're walking!" Sirius smiled but it faltered a bit. "Sunshine, they're walking already. We're not even forty yet and we're gonna be gray before they reach five years old!"

I laughed and helped Marlene stand up and she started walking towards Regulus.

"You mean you are gonna turn gray. The only gray I plan on having in my hair is from me messing around with hair spells and potions." I shrugged.

"Look at them go! You two are so screwed when they hit the terrible two's."

"Don't jinx it, James!"

"I can't help it! The Potter nature is to jinx things."

"That would explain a lot of things."

"I know!"

"Their first birthday is next week. Who's coming?" Sirius asked putting an arm around me.

"The Weasleys, Tonks, Fleur, Moony and Sunny obviously, and that's pretty much it. They're too young to know it's their birthday anyways. The quieter the better." I said and Marlene walked towards us. "Hey Kit, you walking already? I'm so proud of you! Wait, where's your brother?"

Marlene giggled and I heard crying. I gave Sirius a look and he sighed standing up.

"Marlene, you have got to stop pushing your brother! This is getting out of hand." Sirius said and walked in with a crying Regulus. "Please tell me that you never pushed James when you two were kids."

"Oh, I did. I once pushed him down the stairs the day we got our letters. It was hilarious, but the scolding I got from Mum wasn't. Dad was pretty much in hysterics by the way he fell, though." I shrugged and laughed at the memory.

"Marlene is gonna turn out like you and I'm terrified."

"I'm not."

...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARLS AND REGGIE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!"

Sirius and I helped the twins blow out the candles and we all cheered.

"Great! Now give me cake!" Charlie said and I rolled my eyes.

"What is it with you and cake?" Bill laughed.

"Mum made it. It's an obsession."

"Point taken. Give me cake!" Molly rolled her eyes and took the cake to the kitchen.

"So who's the wedding planning going?" Sirius asked sitting down and letting Marlene walk around for a while.

"It's going great, actually. Auntie Jade has been a great help!" Bill smiled and took Regulus from me. "They're getting big."

"Don't remind Sirius. He'll start crying because he's getting old." I smirked.

"What's wrong with getting old?" Tonks laughed and Sirius glared at her.

"MY HAIR!" He yelled.

"So?" Fred and George said in unison and I laughed.

"Nobody cares about your hair, Starboy. Get over it." Solis smirked.

"Vixen does!" Sirius protested.

"A simple spell or hair potion can fix it. Get over it." I smirked. "Remember Sleakeazy?"

"We don't speak of that. Five hours, Jade. Five hours and you ended up cutting my hair!"

"It was either that or having the potion stuck in your hair." I shrugged. "And don't be a baby, I only cut an inch and a half of it."

"All I remember was hearing Starboy scream bloody murder and you telling him where he should stuff the scissors. After that, everything was quiet." Solis laughed and I smirked.

"Shut up, Sunny." Sirius mumbled.

"Ah yes! Who could forget the screams. 'Jade, Jade, Jade! MY HAIR! MY HAIR!' And then we heard more yelling and I think a book was thrown at some point?" Remus laughed putting an arm around Solis.

"Lily threw it. It hit Sirius right in the chest. After that, everything was quiet." I shrugged and grabbed Marlene who was holding onto my leg. "How's the joke shop, boys? Sorry I haven't stopped by."

"It's great, aunt Jade!" The twins said in unison and I smiled.

"I'll try to stop by next week. Let me guess, Diagon alley still looks depressing?"

"Yep." They said and I nodded.

"Such a shame really. Last time I saw it that depressed was when- oh no." I said and looked at Remus wide eyed.

"When?" Tonks asked.

"A few months before James and Lily died. I was like three and a half months pregnant." I mumbled.

"You were pregnant before,Jade?" Fleur asked and I nodded.

"Really touchy subject for all of us. We don't like to remind her." I heard Charlie whisper and Fleur nodded.

"I'm sure it's just a coincidence, Little Vixen." Remus said uneasily.

"For our sake, I hope your right Moony."

"News flash, HE'S WRONG!"
