It's been a year now since she came to this world and it wasn't as terrible as she thought it would be.

She didn't see her parents much, after all she wasn't the son they desired,  but she can haer Walburga come to her room almost every night and just sit by her crib. Sometimes she would be silent or she will spend the night crying and apologizing to her. Aquila didn't know what her mother was apologizing for but she did have an idea, after all Walburga was forced to marry her cousin to keep the blood "pure" and she was sure that her daughter will have to do the same and she can't do anything to stop it.
So these night she would pretend to sleep and try to hold her own tears from falling.

Apart from that, she didn't see her mother much all day and her father's visits were less frequent then her mother's.
However now she was in her father's arms in front of a room were a woman is screaming her heart out. That woman is Druella Black nèe Rosier and right now she is giving birth to her first child.

Aquila has never been this existed before, she couldn't stop bouncing which annoyed her father who was glaring at her, but she really didn't care right now. Her sister is about to be born, you can't blame a girl for being happy to finally not be alone all day.

All the Black family are sitting together outside of the room Druella is giving birth in.
Cygnus, Druella's husband and father of her child (soon to be children), is leaning against the wall glaring at the door like if he glared enough the baby will come faster to the world.

The thought made her giggle, causing the family to turn their attention to her and made her uncle glare at her instead of the door.
Aquila, never backing down from a challenge, glared right back at him. Any other person would have laughed at a baby glaring at them but the Blacks were never normal so a glaring contest started between her, a one year old baby, and her uncle Sygnus, a man in his late 30s.

This continued for a minute or two before an elderly man and women walked in, before stopping at the sight of a grown ass man having a glaring contest with a baby while his wife is giving birth to his child.
This man and women were Arcturus and Melania Black, parents of Orion and Lucretia Black and her grandparents.

"What on earth are doing Cygnus?" Came the voice of her grandfather causing her uncle to look away, HA suck it she won, and to turn his attention to Arcturus, who looked amused at the situation.

Her grandmother looked at her and, 'wow that woman is beautiful despite her gray hair and wrinkles, she looked gorgeous' she thought.

"Pwety" *pretty* it was her own voice who interrupted the silence. Melania's eyes wided when she heard her voice.

"My my, babies usually simply bable at this age. Look like you got a little genius there son" Arcturus said, approaching her and her father who was still holding her, the elderly man stopped right in front of her and glared.

'The fuck is he glaring at me at. Is he trying to intimidate me? Oh hel no, I ain't a pusy' she thought to herself before returning his glare with a frown, it's wasn't a pout ok. Her grandfather looked shocked at that, as well as the rest of the family who was looking at her like she was an alien.

Arcturus continued to glare at her for a few more seconds before he barked out laughing. "Oh ho, such an interesting girl you got there Orion" he said still laughing.

"So wude, don wike ou" *so rude, I don't like you* she babled while pointing at the still laughing man, who hearing her voice started laughing even more. "TOP WAGHIN A ME, AAHOOL" *STOP LAUGHING AT ME, ASSHOLE*.
And just like that the whole room was plunged into silence. No-one was talking, or breathing even, Arcturus stopped laughing and now looking at her stunned.

"Did she just call Arcturus an asshole? Where did she even learned that word?" It was Melania who broke the silence.
Aquila has never seen her parents so pale before, the room was so tense that she couldn't stop herself from giggling. It's a bad habit of hers that she really need to get ride of.

Once again the whole room's attention was on her, which immediately made her quit laughing and make her give them the most innocent smile a 1 year old baby could give. She could feel her father tensing because she was still in his arms and suddenly she didn't feel safe anymore, so she did the first thing that came to her mind and that is to make graby hands at her grandmother.

Melania, the child loving woman that she was, immediately took her in her arms. Aquilla has never felt so comfortable in her life, both of them. The elderly woman radied of motherly energy and tenderness that it made tear up.
"Oh sweetheart, what is wrong? Why are you crying?" Her grandma asked softly while pating her on the back.
"I No wying" *I'm not crying* she responded before wiping her tears in the women's shirt and putting her head on her shoulder.

That made Melania chuckle softly, she was about to say something when a scream, louder then the others, cut her off and just like that silence fall in the room once again and this time it was interrupted by the screaming of a baby.

Soon enough, the midwife came out and announced to the family the birth of the second child of the new generation of the House Black, a daughter has been born the 1 August 1951 to Druella and Cygnus Black.

As soon as her uncle learned that he had a daughter, all excitement and happiness vanished from his face and he pushed pass the midwife to enter the room, the rest of the family immediately followed him with Aquila still in her grandmother's arms.

Cygnus stopped in front of the bad where his wife was resting with their daughter in her arms.
"I'm so sorry" was the first thing that Druella told her husband before he stormed off the room.
The woman looked down at her daughter with tears in her eyes before kissing her head softly.

"Did you discuss what her name shall be?" Walburga asked her sister in-law who only shook her head without looking up from her girl.

"Bewatyx" *Bellatrix* she said excitedly while pointing at the baby.
"You mean Bellatrix?" He grandfather corrected her as he was the only one who understood what she meant because everyone else was looking at her weirdly.

She nodded existedly before making Melania put her on the bed. She crawled until she was beside her aunt, she put her little hand on the head of the baby before repeating the name.
"Bellatrix.... Bellatrix Walburga Black. Yes that shall be her name." Druella smiled fondly at her daughter before taking Aquila in her arms, Aquila could see her mother getting emotional and how hard she was trying to hide it but right she doesn't care because she was too occupied admiring her sister to think about anything else.

"Well then, welcome to the world Bellatrix Walburga Black, second daughter and child of the new generation of House Black." Her grandfather was the one who pronounced these words welcoming the new member of House Black to the word and accepting her in the family.

Aquila grinned still looking at her sister.

'I will protect you Bella, no matter what'
