The Padfoot Twins

1: Be Back Soon

Chapter 1.
October 31st, 1981

I looked down at my left hand that bore the two beautiful rings that brought me happiness. Tears filled my eyes as I tried to refuse.
"You don't understand!" He cried out, his shaky hands flailing around his body like a mad man.
"No, I understand more than anyone. You knew me before a-and my life... you're the one who made my joy alive! How can I lose that?" Tears slipping out of my eyes, as I hugged myself. Hurriedly wiping them away, I could here Chloe crying upstairs.
Sirius came close to me and caressed my face, before pulling me into a warm loving embrace. "You won't lose me, I promise. I'll always be with you, remember that. And I refuse to leave this world without seeing my 3 favourite family members again."
I smiled at his comment, knowing that I and my two children were the only family members he loved dearly.
Sirius crouched down to the level of my enlarged, baby-bearing stomach and gave it a light kiss.
"And I couldn't miss seeing my beautiful third child being born, now could I?" He stood up and grinned "Jade, you know the stubborn man I am".
I shrugged, then nodded, a sad smile stretch across my face. If I never got him back, one of the things I would miss most is his stubbornness.
"Then you know I'm coming back".
Sirius placed one kiss on my forehead and one lingering kiss on my lips.
It still gave me the excitement that it did when I was wearing that elegant white dress and veil. With one last embrace, he turned to open the Gryffindor red-painted door.
Letting the cool night air cling to the silence, he turned around and spoke.
"I will avenge them, Jade. Don't you worry."
He stepped outside, his dark jeans, leather jacket and unruly mess of black hair being the only part of him I could see.
"I love you very much" he whispered, as though any louder, He would wake our children. As he tilted his head to the side to see me, I could see a single tear run down his slim cheek, before quickly wiping it away. "And I you," I spoke truthfully.
"Be back soon".
He got the look of utmost determination on his face as he roared off with his flying motor cycle. At that moment there were countless things that unnerved me. In fact, if I made a list of them, I could probably fill a whole novel.
But the one that was at the top of the list was when I told him to be back soon, he didn't give a response.
I know I may sound like one of those obsessive girls of school high (or at least I think that's what they are called. I never really followed any of the movies Lily forced me to watch), but I knew what kind of message he was giving out. When he said he'd avenge them.
He's going to kill peter.
Then pay the ministry consequences head-on.
I could read the whole situation like a book.
I knew the ministry all too well. They were a bunch of cowards, all of them. When something related to Voldemort came up, they'd jump back in fear and accuse the person of their apparent accusations. My head felt woozy and I felt like I had to sit down.

The man I'm in love with and my children's father is going to kill someone who I thought was my best friend who told the evilest thing (not my definition of a person to be frank) living where my other two best friends were hiding and then the evil thing went and killed them

I'm confusing myself. I shook my head and realization dawned on me.
I can't stop Sirius.
He's made his decision and I'm not going to just sit there and dwell on the could've's and should've's.
This is my life.
And I share it with my son and my daughter. And I will see Sirius again, I have faith. But until then, I am going to raise the most knowledgable, loyal, and loving children the world will know.

Okay, Sirius leaving made me all sentimental. 'Shape up' I thought.
I could now hear both Noah and Chloe crying. I couldn't help but mentally sigh. That was the problem with having twins who were one and sharing the same room. When one starts to cry it triggers the other one. And let me tell you. Standing next to a whee-ooooo-ing fire truck is more pleasant than hearing the scream of my children. I peered down at my stomach and sighed. The bump was pretty big, since I have been pregnant for 7 months already. Oh how I already missed James and Lily, just the thought of them caused a waterfall of tears to drown my cheeks, as sobs racked my body. This was going to be much harder than I thought.
