"SO YOU THINK YOU CAN STONE ME AND SPIT IN MY EYE!" Remus sang.

"SO YOU CAN LOVE ME AND LEAVE ME TO DIE!" I sang back and jumped on the table dancing.

"OH BABY! CAN'T DO THIS TO ME BABY!"

"JUST GOTTA GET OUT! JUST GOTTA GET RIGHT OUT OF HERE!"

"NOTHING REALLY MATTERS, ANYONE CAN SEE. NOTHING REALLY MATTERS, NOTHING REALLY MATTERS TO ME." We sang in unison and threw ourselves on the couch.

"Anyway the wind blows." I finished and started to laugh. "Well that was fun."

"We should do that more often. Though I have no doubts that Lily heard us." Remus chuckled and grabbed some water and handed me a glass.

"She's with Prongs finding out the gender the muggle way. I would've gone with them for protection but I'm still injured from last week." I said gesturing to my right arm. "I would've killed Malfoy of his wife wasn't pregnant. I may be a bitch but I'm not evil."

"How do you know that his wife is pregnant?" Remus asked me.

"You seem to forget that I have chats with Regulus once every two weeks for about thirty minutes. It's our way of keeping each other sane." I shrugged. "Besides, that way I know what they're up to and come up with a plan to show them who's boss."

"So Regulus is like a traitor?"

"Far from it. He can't be a traitor to something he never agreed with in the first place. He's more like an 'inside man' more than anything else. He tells me what's going on and I try to give him advice on how to stay out of it."

"Well when you put it like that, it's-"

"A BOY! IN YOUR FACE, JADE. I'M HAVING A LITTLE ME RUNNING AROUND!" James opened the door and ran to us excitedly.

"You seriously couldn't have a girl?" I rolled my eyes and hugged Lily. "Congratulations, by the way."

"The male is the one with the sex gene, Jade. Hopefully the next one will be a girl." Lily smiled and sat down next to Remus. "Where's Sirius?"

"In the back fixing his motorcycle. He takes better care of that thing than he does of me." I laughed and walked to the small backyard to find Sirius shirtless, covered in grease and fixing his bike. "Well that's a sight to see."

"Enjoying the view, sunshine? It was quite amusing the concert you and Moony had inside." Sirius smirked and looked at me.

"Don't act like you didn't enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying this view right now." I said and crossed my arms looking at him. "They found out the gender today. It's a boy."

"They seriously couldn't have a girl?"

"That's what I said! Lily's already talking about a second kid so we can still hope for that one." I smiled and sat on the floor next to him. "Need some help?"

"Nah, I'm almost done. And I wouldn't be surprised if Lily wanted a whole quidditch team running around the house. Minnie would be ecstatic if the little one tried out for quidditch in his second year like Prongs." Sirius chuckled and leaned back.

"And who's to say that he'll be sorted into gryffindor? I broke the mold by being the first Slytherin in a family full of Gryffindors just like you broke your family's mold in being the first lion in a family full of snakes. Maybe he'll be cunning and ambitious like his auntie."

"Or brave and stupid like his father and uncles." Sirius said standing up and grabbing my hands making me stand up also. "And what about us, huh? When are we having one?"

"Hopefully this war will die out soon and we can finally settle down properly and raise a baby. But for now, we have a job to do. If we do it right, maybe we could have that day sooner than you think." I shrugged and kissed him. "Don't hug me because you're covered in bike grease and this shirt is new."

"Sometimes I forget that we literally graduated two years ago. It feels like a lifetime ago." Sirius said sadly.

"Sometimes I miss the monthly kitchen raids and me sneaking out the snake pit to be with you guys."

"The kitchen raids still haven't changed, Vixen. I still hear you making something at three in the morning." Sirius rolled his eyes and walked inside with me right behind him.

"Padfoot, we have got to stop meeting like this. Put on a damn shirt." James rolled his eyes and scolded Sirius.

"You're just jealous that you don't have washboard abs like mine." Sirius smirked and went to take a shower.

"Not interested!"

...

"Thought of names yet?"

"James hasn't been any help thinking of names. He wants his own name somewhere." Lily rolled her eyes and leaned back.

"I have one!" I said excitedly.

"Yes?"

"Harry James Potter. That way Bam Bam will be happy that his name is there and it's a fairly simple name. No Harold because I don't like that." Lily thought about it for a while and smiled.

"I love it! I'll tell James once he gets home."

"Tell James what?" Speak of the devil.

"Your dear twin sister came up with a name for the baby." Lily said excitedly.

"And that is?"

"Harry James Potter." I smiled.

"No Harold?" James asked giving me a look and I shook my head. "Well then I love it. Harry James Potter it is!"

"No Sirius Jr.?" Sirius asked offended and we laughed.

"He's my kid, Pads. Get your own."

"And the insane auntie makes a dramatic entrance!" Marlene walked into the living room holding the cat. "Lily, if this asshat of a cat scratches me one more time, I won't hesitate."

"MARLENE!" I yelled and tan towards her.

"JADE!" She yelled back and hugged me. "I MISSED YOU!"

"They literally saw each other two days ago." Remus mumbled and James nodded.

"Don't make me laugh boys. You two had more dramatic hugs when you were five minutes away from each other." Lily rolled her eyes and held her bump in shock. "I think Harry's kicking!"

"ME FIRST ME FIRST!" Sirius yelled and placed his hand on Lily's bump smiling.

"Padfoot, I'm the father." James rolled his eyes and sat next to Lily.

"But are you the dogfather? Didn't think so." Sirius sassed and leaned to talk to Harry making me smile big. "Hi there Bambi, it's your dogfather Sirius. Now that you're kicking, can you kick your father into the next millennium? You're mine."

"Sirius, let Bam Bam have his moment." I rolled my eyes and sat next to Marlene and Remus on the floor. James smiled in thanks and leaned to talk to Harry too.

"Hi there Harry, it's your dad. I'm so excited to meet you. We all are. I'm here with your crazy auntie Marlene, your sane uncle Moony, your dogfather Sirius, and your amazing godmother Jade. Uncle Wormtail couldn't be here since he's still visiting his Mum but I know that he sends lots of love. We can't wait to meet you and teach you all about magic and the Marauders and Quidditch and everything. I have a feeling you're going to be a special boy, Harry." James smiled and looked at Marlene, Remus and I. "You wanna feel Harry kick? He's kicking up a storm here."

"Crazy auntie first!" Marlene yelled and touched Lily's bump and leaned in. "Hey there, champ. I know I'm not always around but I'm out there making sure that the world is safe enough for you to come and raise some hell. I promise that I'll try to come visit more often and I promise that I'll be there to be your crazy auntie Marlene."

"Remus, your up." Lily smiled and Remus leaned in nervously but smiling nonetheless.

"Hello Harry! I'm your sane, yet slightly chaotic, uncle Moony. I apologize in advance for what might happen after you're born but I'll always be there whenever you want to escape from the crazy Marauders. I'm sorry your uncle Wormy isn't here, he would've loved to see this and speak to you. I am very excited and looking forward to meeting you and giving you sweets and teaching you how to properly handle your powers. You're gonna make us all proud, I know it." Remus smiled big and looked at me. "You're turn, Little Vix. He's eager to hear his godmother."

I sat down on Sirius' lap and felt Harry kick. I smiled and looked at Lily and James excitedly.

"What are you waiting for?" James urged me smiling.

"Hi there Bambi. It's your godmother, Jade or Vixen. I can't wait until your here with us so I can show you everything I know. I have a feeling we're going to have our hands full catching up with you but I'm ready for it if you are. I can't wait to show you about the Marauders and Potions and all that. I'll leave the Quidditch to your father but I'll be showing you how to be cunning. I really hope you're going to be a Slytherin just like me. We're not evil, you see? We're just deemed like that because we do whatever it takes to get what we want. Anyways, I haven't even met you yet and I already love you more than life itself and there's nothing I wouldn't do for you. That's why I'm fighting, Harry.I'm doing this for you, Bambi. I want you to have the life we never had. A life where blood status and blood superiority doesn't matter and what truly matters is the person you truly are on the inside. You won't remember this but I'll make sure to remind you every chance I get. There's more family that wants to speak to you but they're out fighting the bad guys right now. Hopefully they'll be able to speak to you real soon."

"Jade Amelia Black-Potter is showing emotion! That's a new one." Marlene smirked and I nudged her with my foot.

"Suck my dick, Marlene." I rolled my eyes.

"When and where?"

...

"That's a really nice thing you said to Harry today about blood purity."

"I didn't say anything that wasn't true, Pads. It's time we learn that blood status don't define us no matter what people think." I shrugged and hugged him.

"This is why I love you so much. You'd make an amazing mother when the time comes." Sirius smiled and kissed my forehead.

"And you'd make an amazing dad, Sirius."

"I highly doubt that. I didn't exactly grow up with the best father figure, sunshine." Sirius rolled his eyes and threw himself in the bed and pulled me with him.

"That doesn't matter. We're not our parents, love. And we're the living example of that. Look at where we were sorted in the first place." I chuckled and played with his hair.

"I tried to hate you, you know? I never wanted anything to do with Slytherins and yet here I am, madly in love with a snake." I smiled and kissed him.

"I'm just way too likeable." I shrugged and Sirius gave me a look. "Who am I kidding, I'm fucking terrifying."

"I would say bone-chilling but yes. You still terrify me sometimes."

"I know. And yet you still decided to marry this hot mess." I smirked and Sirius laughed.

"I have no regrets whatsoever and I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

"So would I."
