Hermione felt it had been forever since she sat down as she enjoyed the grass below her. A cute brown haired girl ran over smiling big. She tackled her mother and kissed her cheek. The black haired boy ran over after her and tackled his mother as well.
"When is Teddy going to be home?" The girl pouted and Hermione smiled.
"Your brother will be home any minute. Now come, let us wash our hands." She told them and got up.
She gazed up at her home and sighed. It was as if she got so very blessed in life to have contentment. Her children ran in front of her and the young boy pushed the girl out of the way.
"James Lupin-Black! You be nice to your sister!" Hermione scolded him and he looked abashed.
"Sorry mum," he uttered and let his sister go inside first.
He waited for his mother to reach the door. "One day she might push back, so I would be nicer." Hermione finished with a smile and James rolled his eyes.
They walked into the kitchen and the brown haired girl was climbing on the stool to wash her hands. "Rose, I wish you would please be careful." She said and her brother came over and helped her down once she was done.
"Mum, where is daddy?" She asked and as if Sirius heard the children he appeared.
Sirius grabbed the little girl in her arms. "Daddy!" The girl cried and gave him a big kiss.
"How is my brilliant love?" He asked her and she pouted.
"I want to hear about Teddy's year at Hogwarts." The girl whined and Sirius grinned at Hermione.
"You are so much like your mother it isn't even fun." He told the girl and kissed her nose before putting her down.
He walked over to Hermione and gave her a big kiss. "Mm, as if I tasted honey for the first time," he whispered and James made a face.
"Daddy, not in front of us." The boy groaned and Sirius kissed Hermione again.
"One more?" Sirius waggled his eyebrow at the little girl and she beamed at her parents.
The fireplace went off and the kids all went running. "Teddy! Teddy! How was Hogwarts? We missed you!" They chanted and Hermione kissed Sirius again.
"So much for a quiet evening," she teased him and he grinned.
"There are my little goblins!" Remus boomed happily in the other room.
The cluster of happy chaos flowed into the kitchen as Teddy, a strapping young man who just finished his fourth year at Hogwarts. He looked so much like his father and it made Hermione smile and reach for him as Sirius let her go. The young man hugged his step mother and gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Hi mum, how are you?" Teddy asked her and she ruffled his hair, which was bright pink.
"I am fantastic, how was the last day?" She asked him and he smiled.
"Albus got shot down by Lilian," he told her with pink cheeks.
Lilian Longbottom was Neville's daughter and thankfully did not take his forgetful traits but his braver, kinder ones. She was always fascinated with how their children reacted, knowing very well her fond memories of Hogwarts and not knowing how they would all end up.
"Dad, tell mum what you just told us!" Rose exclaimed with a giggle.
Remus nodded and smiled. "Well I figured we could send the little ones to Uncle Harry's for the night!" Remus finished and the kids ran to him with a big hug.
"I cannot wait to see Lily!" Rose remarked and bustled off, not before hugging all of her parents.
James sighed. "I suppose Severus can teach me more about chess." He followed his sister up the stairs to pack.
Teddy patted Hermione on the shoulder. "I am going to unpack, I love you." He told her and kissed her cheek before grabbing his trunk and heading up the stairs.
Both of her husbands grinned at her, she tilted her head and narrowed her eyes at them both. "I smell a secret."
They kissed her, first Remus, who was strong and passion. Following Sirius who gave her a sweet and wet one. "We have a lot of planning to do after all." Sirius said, grinning wolfishly.
"I mean it is quite an adjustment, probably end up having to clear out Sirius' old room." Remus whispered thoughtfully and she really was growing annoyed.
"What is going on?" She snipped and they chuckled.
"Darling, have you noticed anything lately?" Sirius asked her through a chuckled.
She thought about it and shook her head trying to figure out what they were going on about. Her husbands rarely acted suspicious these days due to their busy days with the children. They all took turns with the housework, cooking and lessons for the children. It was nice and while the children were just babies they had found a system that works for their house.
"Out with it both of you or I will hex your pants to make you dance around like leprechauns." She spat testily and they laughed.
At the same time, both gentlemen ran a hand each over her stomach. "Love, you are giving us another gift." Remus whispered and Hermione thought she was going to faint.
They sat her down and she smiled, shaking her head. "I never thought I would be happy. I never hoped to even have children ever. You both come into my life and bring everything worth living for. I mean weren't they sure I couldn't have anymore?" She asked them, still shocked.
Sirius shrugged. "Well stranger things have happened. You fell in love with a pair of marauders after all."
She laughed and nodded. "I suppose stranger things have happened then."

Their lives never went down in history books after the second war. They never did anything remarkable or life changing for the world. Hermione ended up not working at Hogwarts until well after her children were old enough to go. Sirius, Remus and Hermione ended up having another little girl, Annabelle, who looked exactly like Hermione.
They had grandchildren before Sirius and Remus ever passed on. A total of 12 grandchildren to be exact. Hermione lived only a handful of years after her husbands passed. She was the strongest witch either marauder knew and the only one to complete them fully. Hermione Lupin-Black was the matriarch of a strong house and her children and grandchildren loved her fully. But no one would ever love Hermione as much as her werewolf and animagus did the rest of the days they lived; true to their promise, Hermione was the true love of both their lives.
