After James Potter yelled the truth out and everyone in the noble house of Black heard him very well and stood frozen on their spots staring in disbelief at an almost dead Estella.

      "W-What are you saying?" Sirius managed to choke out with great difficulty, while Remus was wide eyed staring dead at the girl in front of him.

      James looked away briskly finding Amelia's wide eyes which were cursing him really bad. James let out a shuddered breath looking down realising what he just did.

     "I-I–" James was at the loss of words.

      "T-This g-girl is L-Lyra's d-daughter?" Sirius asked in a hoarse voice every word coming out of his mouth bewildered. 

      Amelia turned to look at Estella who was soon going to faint. Her chest rising and falling heavily, her legs slightly shaking. Amelia scrunched her eyes shut in desperation. Why cant anything be normal!?

     "James!– say something!– who is this girl!?" Sirius cried desperately making James look at him. James gulped heavily and said in a small voice "Moony and Lyra's daughter"

    Everyone stared at Estella like they were hit with a large truck, this gurl was Remus' daughter, staring at her for so long, now they could see the similarities, dark brown hair, cheekbones just like Remus, she even had light scars running down her face like Remus.

     "H-How? W-wh–?"

     Sirius was cut by Remus letting out a heavy breath, his mouth parted, he slowly got up approaching the girl standing at a distance from him. While Estella shrank more and more wanting to dissolve in air, not meeting anyone's eyes, and her own eyes pooling with tears as her father was approaching her after knowing about the truth.

    "Y-y-you are...–" Remus breathed out in aless then a whisper, his wide intense eyes making Estella wanting to faint. Not meeting his eyes Estella gave a reluctant short nod.

    Amelia could see Remus' hands shaking, he was internally freaking out, suddenly getting to know that you have a eighteen year old daughter cannot be comprehended easily.

    "W-When were you born?" Remus asked his eyes and face totally red. Estella was on the verge of breaking down she could not even meet her father's eyes.

   "T-Tenth may 1978" Estella said in the same cracking tone. Remus' lips started quivering, he looked like he would collapse any moment.

    "And L-Lyra?" He croaked. Sirius slowly stood up as his sister's name was mentioned. Estella stayed silent for really long, she looked extremely weak as she would breakdown any moment.

    "Lyra's dead!" Amelia said steadily gaining everyone's attention. Amelia saw Estella was frowning, as if she didnt like the idea of lying right now.

    "You knew about this?" Sirius asked in disbelief to his daughter gaining a stiff nod.

    "Maybe that's why Dumbledore was so keen to send me to America, he wanted to correct his mistakes" Amelia said bitterly. Everyone frowned.

   "Who is Lyra?" Harry asked frowning confusedly.

    "L-Lyra was my twin sister, she died that halloween night along with James, Lily and Sierra. Peter, when he blasted that muggle street, Lyra came to me but she too was killed in that blast" Sirius said with the most hurt look on his face. Silence fell in the room.

    "So you are my niece?" Sirius asked in a small voice glancing up at Estella, a small smile forming in his face.

     "And Remus' daughter" Everyone turned to Tonks standing at the end of the room, her eyes bloodshot. Shit.

    Everyone in the room was now thinking only one think. What now? Tonks was Remus' pregnent wife, and recently he discovered he had a eighteen year old daughter. What now?
  
    "Tonks–" Remus began wide eyed towards her but she interrupted him going to their bedroom in a rush. Remus ran calling after her desperately, while a worried Amelia turned to Estella who had heavy tears pooling in her eyes.

    "Este–" Amelia whispered to her in a hurt voice but was interrupted by Estella running to her room, now Amelia had to follow her. Estella locked the door behind her and Amelia banged from outside calling for her. "Estella open the door!– none of this is your fault– no one's is!"

    "No Amelia– Tonks probably thinks I ruined her life by coming here!" Amelia heard Estella cry loudly from the other side.

    "No Stella– she doesnt, she is just shocked like the rest of them– she is not mad at you– no one is!"

    "I will go back!– I will not ruin their lives– I will leave now–"

    "Alohomora!" Amelia yelled stepping inside seeing Estella sat on floor beside bed tears streaming down her face. She ran upto her bringing her in a tight hug. As Estella was again going to say something.

    "Shut up!– you are not going anywhere– No one is mad at you– you did nothing wrong– just wait till tomorrow I promise everything will be fine– I trust Remus, and you should trust me– Do you trust me Este?" Amelia asked staring in her eyes, Estella gave a nod with tears still streaming down her face.

***

    Amelia woke up to an empty bed beside her, she frowned sitting up straight and saw ut was still dark, lighting up the lamp on her bedside table she saw it was still two a.m.

    Suddenly realisation hit Amelia like a truck, Estella was not here, she saw the cupboard door was left open and there were no clothes in it. Shit.

   Amelia jerked up getting out of the bed running downstairs with her heart running at the double speed, she almost tripped as she saw a small table lamp was lit and two people were sitting on couch, she huffed in relief as she saw it was Estella and Remus, talking to each other quietely, she could see even in the dimmest light they were both crying silently.

   Estella must be leaving secretly as her bags were laid in cornor in front of door step. But clearly Remus caught her leaving and stopped her. A small smile crept to Amelia's face, atleast Estella was lucky in this case, she had Remus as her father.

   Suddenly a loud sound of something breaking came from upstairs followed by a loud shriek causing the three people in the living room to jerk towards it and saw from the corridor that the sound came from Remus' bedroom.

    "TONKS!" All three of them rushed to Remus' bedroom quickly, Amelia was the one who switched on the lights in alarm and saw Tonks standing in the middle of the room clutching to her stomach, and water sprawled in front of her– water!

"Remus!" Tonks cried as she saw her husband "My water broke!– its time!"

***

   "All of this happened because of me, D-Dad was busy talking to me– he could not be with her–" Estella kept sobbing quitely while standing in St. Mungos along with many others.

    "I swear to god, if you dont shut up– you'll be joining all those patients" Amelia hissed in her ear.

     Meanwhile Remus, Sirius, James, Lily and Andromeda, all stood at another cornor eagerly waiting for the doctors to come out. Remus was really anxious and flinched everytime hearing his wife's shrieks.

    "I hope its a girl" Lily said sweetly getting agreement nods from Andromeda.

    "No it will be a boy" James said confidently and Sirius agreed with him, Amelia stayed quite not telling them she was hoping for a boy too.

    "What do you think Remus?" Amelia asked to her godfather. Remus looked a little pale.
   
   "Wh-What if the child is like me– a were–" Remus asked in his cracking voice before being interrupted.

    "Gosh.. dramatic runs in Lupin bloodline" Amelia said rubbing her temples passing a taunting look to both the Lupins.

    "Even if he will be furry like you– wont be a problem– all of us know how to deal with furry creatures" Amelia said cheekily. Everyone chuckled while she ignored her father's smiling eyes.

    Suddenly the doors of the room burst open and the head healer came out followed by a nurse "Its a boy!"

    "Yesss!" All the ones who wanted a boy ran inside first, immediately halted as the father of the child was still in a little dilema.

    "Someone please grab him I cant wait to meet mini Moony" Amelia said impatiently happy. She saw Estella's face and met her sad overwhelming eyes, she mentally groaned before rushing to her quickly pulling her by hand inside. Estella halted at the doorstep promising she will stay here but not go inside.

    "Fine, but I better find you back here, or I'll be really mad" Amelia said warningly and got a genuine nod from her cousin.

    All of them rushed in to see the youngest Lupin and instantly burst into squealing seeing Tonks holding a blue coloured bundle in her arms. "OMG I told you it will be a boy"

    "How do you feel now Tonks?" Remus asked softly to his wife with a teary smile causing her to burst in a small laughter saying "Never better"

    "Oh step aside let me see my grandson" Andy said pushing everyone aside pulling the bundle from her daughter's arms, Amelia stayed glued to her watching the little baby keenly. He had really small soft hair, his eyes were still closed so the color could not be seen. Amelia wanted to hold the little thing in her hands desperately. "Can I hold him pleaseee?"

    "No Amelia, let Moony have him first" Sirius said coming behind her placing his hands on her shoulder, she pouted at Remus. Remus held his baby boy in his arms a very difficult to read look on his face, happiness for sure was dripping from his eyes, but little sadness could also be seen.

    "Now thats enough Moony just give him to me" Amelia demanded desperately, Remus chuckled handing her the little bundle. Amelia held the fragile thing with the most care. He slowly opened his big brown eyes.

    "Look I am the first thing he ever saw!" Amelia gushed excitedly squealing. The little baby in her hands blinked slowly watching her and instantly something happened which caused everyone to stare at him in bewilderment.

    The baby's soft brown hair changed into raven black as that of Amelia and his eyes color as grey as her. "He is a metamorphagus!!!"

    Relief flushed over Remus' face and now he was genuinely extremely happy. Amelia couldnt get over the adorable sight in her arms "I already love him the most in the whole world"
  
   "So whats the name and who are the godparents?" James asked excitedly.

    Remus and Tonks shared smiling glances before saying out the baby's name "Edmund Teddy Remus Lupin"

    Everyone smiled, Tonks named him after her father, Amelia heard a little sniff and looking she saw Andy almost crying, while Amelia held the little baby and not letting James and Sirius hold him at all.

    "Oh atleast tell the godparents, I know this time its my chance!" James urged. Remus chuckled before saying.

     "Earlier we were thinking that Harry should be the godfather–" Remus said and Amelia made the most disgusted face ever interrupting him.

    "I wont let you do this to Teddy!" Amelia exclaimed slightly angry, holding the little baby more close to her. Remus chuckled before ruffling her hair, while James passed her a playful glare.

     "So the godfather is James and the second godfather is Harry" Remus saud dismissively with a smile and Amelia let out a groan.

    Remus was Amelia's godfather, Sirius was Harry's and now James had to be Teddy's, as James was not there earlier, Remus decided letting Harry be the godfather although he was not of an age, but still.

    "And the godmother!" Lily asked clapping her hands excitedly. Tonks cleared het throat before speaking.

   "The godmother will be Amelia!"

    Everyone stared at her like she did a joke, but Amelia's loud thumping heart hoped that it wasnt. Lily who was expecting herself to be the godmother seemed taken aback.

    "I?– Are you sure?" Amelia asked slowly unsure glancing between Remus and Tonks who both gave her firm assuring smiles.

    "But Moony, Amelia's herself a kid" Sirius retorted.

     Amelia squinted her eyes at her father. "Aint your godson a kid too?– Or is he an eighty year old grandpa in disguise?"

    "Amelia hold your godson carefully" Remus said in a playful stern tone dissolving the tension off.

   Godson. Amelia's heart filled with pleasant warmth, she was a godmother now. She looked down at the little baby who still had her appearance copied and let out a chuckle smiling at him, het eyes glistening with happy tears.

    "You both decided to make me the godmother? Really?" Amelia asked looking up with pure bliss on her face. The couple nodded smiling fondly at her. She let out a chuckle again as a tear seeped out of her eyes.

    "Hey godson– I am your godmother– and I love you so much" Amelia whispered to the little baby and his soft pink lips twitched upwards forming a little smile staring at her, she planted her lips softly on his forehead closing her brimming eyes.

    "Where's Estella btw?– Isnt she going to meet her brother?" Tonks asked softly looking at Remus. They all looked around where Estella was. Amelia remembered she promised she would stay there out but dhe was not.

    Where did she go now?
