When college student Kasey Whitton takes a job babysitting for single dad Jian Li, she doesn't expect to fall in love with the newborn baby -- or with Jian. ***** Love is the last thing on Kasey Whitton's mind when she agrees to take an overnight babysitting job to help support her struggling family. But as her business relationship with single dad Jian Li slowly develops into something more, Kasey is surprised to find herself falling in love with him despite his hot-and-cold attitude towards her -- and the fact that she has a long-term high school boyfriend. Will her growing feelings for Jian and his newborn son be enough to convince her to risk everything stable in her life? Or will Jian's fear of commitment -- and his belief all the women in his life are cursed -- be enough to keep them apart?

This is a Harry Potter fanfic with characters created by kmbell92. She writes amazing books so I definitely suggest reading her books first. I do not own any of the characters in this story except for Isabelle. The rest of them belong to either Kitty or J K Rowling. Isabelle Sanders is different in many ways - way too smart for her year, looking nothing like her family, having weird things happen to her all the time, having a strange pearl pendant that her family claims to not know about and a constant desire to be near water. But one day, all of it gets answered when she received her Hogwarts letter on her eleventh birthday. But once she gets to Hogwarts, she seems strangely attached to two professors that other students claim to look and behave just like her... Sirius Black and Nixie Dover, Professors at Hogwarts, lost their newborn daughter Athena Meri Black on the day that she was born with her twin brother, Henry. When they were sure that they finally moved on, the muggle-born Ravenclaw girl who is the top of her year catches their attention. With her wavy brown hair, grey eyes and that pearl pendant, she looks just like their long lost daughter... This story is edited and beta-ed by @PennyRoseAms.

"I don't want to dream about all the things we never were." He was my heaven on earth. My constant prayer I sent to God to open his eyes and see me. The real me, who has been beside him for 4 years fighting for us. The countless tears I had shed in those years from the many breakups, fights, and accusations thrown at me. The many storms we conquered to reach the other side. To reach our rainbow.
