Shackled Romance-Chp23

*the trio went to the carriage stop n took the carriage dwn to Hogsmeade, then got off at Knockturn Alley*

Sirius: Stay close, girls. Knockturn Alley is a shady plc, u dont wanna get lost in here

Star: *nods n hugged Sirius' arm, sticking close to him*

Char also didn't like it. She looked to see if Star was close all she needed was to get her sister lost, and with a head like hers, it could happen.

Sirius: *held both girls close to him until they reach the brothel* Now this is no plc for children, so I knw a bk way for privelege customers, since ur mother is exclusive to me. C'mon *led them to the bk entrance, hiding the girls under his robes, dropped his payment at the counter n knocked on Sev's door* Sev, open up, quick

Severus got to the door, opening it. He was just in a plain robe, not one that he usually met Sirius in. He didn't excpet Sirius today. "Sirius, when did you get here?" He needed to change.

Sirius: I just got here. I've got a surprise for u *enters n lifted his robe to reveal the girls* Charlotte, Shannon, this is ur mother. Severus, these r ur girls, Charlotte n Shannon.

"Char.....Shannon.....But I only had one child." Severus said, takign a step back.

"They lied to you." Char said, holding her hand up. "My name is Charlotte. I am the first born and I think you wanted to call me Cassi."

Star: N I'm Shannon, the other girl u didnt knw, bt u can call me Star! *happily bounded to Severus n hugged him* Mommy~!

Sirius: *chuckles as he watched, not surprised tht Star would be the one to make the first move*

"You...you have you father's eyes." He said, looking at Star. "I mean they are not mine." he said. Then putting his arms around him he started to cry.

Char came over and patted his back. "There there, mother, everything will be ok."

Star: *snuggled close to Sev* Aww, dont cry, Mommy. We're here now

Sirius: *comes to Sev n wrapped his arm ard his shoulder* Do u remember passing out aftr giving birth, thinking its fatigue or something?

"Yes, they said it was from shock or bloodloss or something like that."

Sirius: Well, I think they found out tht u had Star n u were hving complications or something, so I believe they knocked u out to take her out n hid the surgery evidence n lied to u abt only hving one

"But...why?" Severus asked.

"They did want you to know. If they took me away, why on take two away like nothing." Char said.

"You remind me of myself when I was young." Severus smiled.

Sirius: Yup, she definitely has ur smarts n ur attitude alright, while Star is a complete opposite

Star: *giggle* Not completely. So Mommy is it OK if I ask...who's our real daddy?

"I...I don't know...." But he did know and he would never tell. "Can you speak to animals, like snakes?" Severus asked.

"No." Char shook her head. "I don't like animals, Shannon does."

Star: I do! I can talk to snakes, n lizards. Works on reptiles only tho, doesnt work on other animals

Sirius: *had an idea, the hint sounding familiar, bt kept it to himself, squeezing Sev's shoulder gently in assurance*

"Well that is nice." Severus smiled. "Where did you two end up?"

"An orphanage."

Star: Yup, no one wanna adopt us, bt its good. Sirius is our new daddy now *nuzzled him while still clinging to Severus*

"Yes he is a good man." Severus nodded, looking up as Sirius and smiled. "Well, Charlotte. I did name you Cassi Eileen, if you would like to keep you other name I can understand."

"No, I like that name, and I have never liked Charlotte, I felt like it was never name."

Star: I like my own name tho. Dont change it. It makes me feel special *grins*

Sirius: I'll get with the paperwork to officiate ur name change. So we all a happy family now? *grins*

"Alright, Star. I won't." He smiled. He stood up. "What last name will they have?"

Sirius: Well, since I adopted him, n I plan to court u n take u as my wife, I suppose we can give them our last name

Star: *gasped teasingly* R u ~proposing~ to Mommy~?

"Of course not." Severus blushed slightly. "Now sit down and tell me all about yourselves."

Sirius: I'll go call for some refreshment, I'll leave u three a while
