Not the first, definitely not the last, but bare with... (Blame my sister, she's just told me she's pregnant)

"James! James, look, here he is, isn't he wonderful?" Lily whispered as she looked at her gorgeous son, in the arms of her private Nurse, none other than Davis Marcus- a family friend. Lily wiped her eyes.

"He'll be Harry James Potter," She said decidedly. The Nurse nodded and started to write a few things down on the sheet. Lily gasps, pain filled her,

"Davis, did you know about twin -s," She asked, screaming towards the end. Davis put everything down and made sure the second child was delivered safely. She smiled warmly at them both, James was sitting in the chair, too shocked for words.

"Another boy," She spoke softly. The child was similar to Lily, in a way. The hair was slightly red and he had dark green eyes. James spoke.

"Shane Harold Potter," He said and Lily nodded, silently agreeing. She knew Harold was after Jame's Grandad and not too close to Harry's name, which will be Hadrian on the official document. After a minute or two the Nurse put them both in a small bed next to hers. Then, Lily groaned, while laughing. She couldn't quite believe what was happening.

"Davis, you ready for a third time?" She asked with scream of pain. She heard a thud and didn't think to look, she knew James had just fainted. Triplets were very uncommon in their world. Not so much in the Muggle world.

"Beautiful," Davis commented as she handed Lily their third baby. Lily started to cry, the perfect mix of both her and James. The child had James' eyes, but that could change, the hair was light for the moment. The facial was all Lily, but the chin and jaw. She kissed her child's forehead.

"Kody Evans Potter." She held onto Kody tightly. They weren't going to have it easy, but, they weren't Potter's for nothing. They were going to be prepared for Voldemort. She couldn't let anything happent to them, that's for sure.

ooo

"Look James, this may be hard to hear, but I really do think it's Peter," Lily said, trying to get her point across. "He's hardly ever here and when he is, he's always wearing long sleves and I for one, don't like the way he looks at the triplets!" She raised her voice slightly.They knew they had a traitor in their mids. James thought it might be Remus, Lily thought it was Peter and Albus didn't know or just couldn't decide who it was. Or didn't really want to believe it.

"Lily, I don't think-"

"The triplets are coming up to six months, James. We need to decide what to do and what our back up plan is and then we both need to say an oath that we can't tell anyone. Albus has already told everyone in the Order, which I don't think he should have done. If we leave the Manor, we'll be more likely in danger! I don't understand why you want us to move!" Lily was stressed. She didn't know what was going on anymore and she felt like she didn't have a say. James agreed with Albus about moving under the fidelius charm, they just needed to choose a secret keeper. She thought Albus, at first. Then, James wanted Sirius. His point was that Albus might die before Voldemort chose to attack.

She hadn't known what the Longbottom's had decided, but that was probably for the best. The prophecy was a target to Neville as well as Harry, Kody and Shane.

"I get that. I say we start with moving, then, ask Sirius or Peter to be the secret keeper. I don't entirely trust Remus, he's a Werewolf, sweetheart. He could be forced to give Greyback information." James said, bringing a hand through his hair.She needed a plan. And fast. They needed to survive this war. She needed her children to be alive.

ooo

"Lily! Take the children and run! It's him! I'll fight him off, I love you!" She heard James shout and she almost shat herself. She looked at the emergency portkeys she made for her son's. She sighed, there was no time. She was out of idea's. She looked at her three boys before her, placing a necklace with the Potter crest on and a message inside with their name. Once she was done she crouched down, the brother's didn't like being apart, not one bit. They slept together, ate together, breathed together. Kody had already done a little bit of accidental magic, by making Remy's hair go green for a week. Harry had flown on the toy broom and Shane, he was a quiet one. He looked at books they had been given more than anything.

"I love you, please, be safe. I'm sorry." She kissed their foreheads in time for Voldemort to come in. She could have prevented this, if only she had been brave, taken risks.

"Step aside, I only want the boys," She started to cry as she shook her head.

"No, you won't win. They'll stop you." She said, not thinking straight as she tried to protect the cot. She heard Voldemort's cruel laugh and shivvered.

"I'll give you one more chance, move aside, silly girl, I'll spare your life!" She shook her head again.

"Kill me instead," She whispered, staring straight at Voldemort's red eyes. How they got to be red, was anyone's guess.

"If you insist! Avada Kedavra "

Voldemort then looked at the three boys in front of him. How can a mere child be prophecied to kill him? No matter... He looked to the one in the middle, who looked to be trying to protect his two siblings.

"Think you can stop me?" He asked, he thought it was Harry. He remembered what Petigrew had told him. Harry crossed his arms and glared at him,

"Bad man" Voldemort raised his eyebrows and laughed. Surprised the child could speak. It was decided.

"Yes, say goodbye, Harry Potter,"

ooo

Sirius Black was running as fast as he ever ran his entire life. His best friend, his sister. His Godson. Peter was the traitor, not Remus. Oh, he was so, so, so stupid!

He entered Godric's Hollow and it was a wreck, the house was close to falling down. He then saw James lying on the floor, frozen and couldn't, wouldn't believe it.

"James! James please, wake up!" He screamed, not paying attention to the tears falling down his face. He frowned slightly when he heard crying, then his brain went into overdrive - The boys! Lily!

He sprinted up the stairs and into the boy's room and was shocked to see two boys asleep, with slight blood on them and the one in the middle had a scar, on his forehead, he was crying for his Mumma, pointing to Lily, who was on the floor, pale as a ghost beside them.

He refused to look at Lily, he couldn't bring himself to as he picked up... Harry! The Godfather bond was telling him it was Harry, but did that mean the Prophecy was complete? Where was Voldemort?

"Harry! Oh Harry, you're going to be okay, you are all going to be okay," He said rocking Harry back and forth, kissing his head.

"Mamma? Da?" Harry spoke and Sirius sniffed.

"They're gone, they're gone Harry," He said softly.

He heard a loud noise, like a motorbike. He remembered that he gave Hagrid his flying bike this morning, but, why was Hagrid here? He picked up the other two sleeping boys and somehow carried them down the stairs, glaring at Hagrid. He never did like the half-giant, too close to Dumbledore. Way too close.

"Sirius! What are you doing 'ere!" Hagrid sniffed, trying to get into the house. Sirius rolled his eyes.

"Stay there, Hagrid. Why are you here, is the real question. I've just come to pick up my Godson and the others so I can take them home." He said outloud, he was thinking it, but, he couldn't think of anyone better to take care of the triplets than him and Remus. Hagrid frowned.

"Aren't you going after Peter?" Sirius shrugged. He may be a Gryffindor, but his family were Slytherin and very smart. He knew it would be a waste and probably a trap if he went to find Peter now.

"Nope. Harry, Kody and Shane are what's important. You go back to Albus and tell him everything will be fine. We'll be leaving the country to a safe house. See you soon, Hagrid."

ooo

That night, in the Headmaster's office.

"And he didn't say who was the one Voldemort marked?" Ablus asked, not bothering to try and find Black himself. He knew it would be a waste of time. Besides, the triplets will be going to Hogwarts, so, he can start putting the plans into motion.

He dismissed Hagrid and went to the Three Broomstick's in disguise, got a Butterbeer and shouted in the pub, then every other pub in the country...

"To the Boys Who Lived!"

A week later

"Can I speak to the Goblin's in charge of both the Potter and Black family?" Sirius asked tiredly. The boys never stopped crying. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't find Remus anywhere and he wasn't replying to his letters. He was at a loss.

He had the children with him, in a Muggle invention 'pram' he believed the name was. Very handy. There was a disillusionment spell on the pram so people who pass by couldn't see them, or weren't as noticed. He didn't have time to be stopped, the whole world knew about the boys and they were famous. He blamed Dumbledore for that.

The Goblin glared at him questionly. Sirius huffed.

"If you think I have time for a staring contest..." He started. The Goblin pointed him in the direction of a much older Goblin and Sirius saluted. Thank God. He recognised Ironclaw.

"Come with me" Ironclaw said sternly and Sirius yawned, the past week was catching up with him horribly. He now knew how difficult single parenting actually was. They reached Ironclaw's office and Sirius sat down, putting his feet up on the desk, not taking granted of the silence, it was only a matter of time before...

"Pa'foo!" Sirius groaned inwardly. Kody was always awake first. Then Harry, Shane appreciated a lie in as much as the next person.

"I'm here, Kody. I'm here," He whispered, picking Kody up, rocking him back and forth.

"Mr Black, Dumbledore has told us to seal Lily and James' will." Ironclaw stated after a moment. Sirius glared.

"Why? What's it to do with him?" He asked, trying to keep calm. Why did Dumbledore keep interfering?! Why couldn't he just leave him be? He'd interfered enough with his life as it was, now he was trying to medel with the boys lives as well? He had to get out of the country and quickly. But where would he go...

"Because of what he planned. You stopped him from sending the triplets to the worst imaginable Muggles by growing up. It's time you became a Lord, Mr Black,"

Sirius eyes widened, Dumbledore was planning to do what?! No, he wouldn't have. If he had sent the boys to Petunia they wouldn't have stood a chance! Sirius pinched his nose, Kody seemed to be calm, oblivious to his surroundings. Could he become a Lord? Was he ready? But hang on.

"I thought my Mother disowned me?!"

Ironclaw shook his had with a sly grin.

"No, she was all talk, no action. She knew you would come round to her way of thinking one day. Now, I advise, before all of that, that you get the boys checked. I can feel dark magic of Harry and I'm not a heeler. Let me get a nurse, a Goblin nurse," Sirius nodded, too tired to say much. He wasn't surprised about the dark magic, Harry had just fought off Lord Voldemort. If Harry had a scar, had Kody and Shane? Sirius frowned, he hadn't checked. He had been too busy focused on trying to find Remus.

Ironclaw came back quickly with a much older Goblin, wearing black. He raised his eyebrow in thought. Heelers normally wore white. Maybe it was different for the Goblin's.

"I am Fireclaw. I will check Kody Evans Potter first, seen as he is already awake," She said and Sirius nodded. There was no wand, more like a staff, probably for Goblin's only. Sirius really didn't know much about Goblin's so he was really just second guessing everything.

"Kody has a scar on his right shoulder, looks like the letter 'L'. It's just back lash. Nothing to do with dark magic. Kody is fine," The nurse told him and Sirius sighed with relief.

"I need you to hold Shane Harold Potter while I do the scan," Fireclaw said and Sirius nodded, placing Kody back in the pram and taking Shane, waking him. He didn't start crying, he looked more confused than anything."It's okay, Shane. I just need you to stay calm for a minute," He spoke softly as the Nurse scanned Shane. Shane coughed and spluttered. It was the warning signs he was going to start crying.

"Shane Potter has a scar on his stomach, in the shape of an 'M', also back lash from the attack, being so close to Harry. No need to worry though, it is just a scar. Neither scars will go away completely." She said and Sirius nodded in understanding. He places Shane back in the pram and started to pick up Harry. He just wanted his godson to be alright.Sirius sat frozen as the nurse scanned Harry. He wasn't sure what to expect.

"Sirius," He braced himself for the worst. "Harry is a Horcrux." In that moment, his life passed through his eyes like he was just watching from the sidelines. That's what Voldemort was doing. That's why Dumbledore wanted him to go after Peter. It all made sense.

"We can remove the horcrux but it will be a painful process. It will take up to three hours." Sirius nodded along, tears falling down his face. What if he had gone after Peter, what if he hadn't been there for Harry, they would have had no idea... No idea.

ooo

"Lord Black... Congratulations. Now, you have a few options, I know you plan to leave the country." Ironclaw said and Sirius nodded. They had stayed in the Goblins rooms, Harry needed to recover from the ritual. There were other blocks and charms placed on Harry (and later they found the same placed on Kody and Shane) that were taken care of, he didn't know how Dumbledore managed to get to the boys, but if he ever saw that man again...

"The Blacks have a house in London, a Manor in America - LA. And one in France. They didn't move around much, mainly tended to stay in one place. London." Ironclaw explained and Sirius nodded, the one in America rang a bell. He went there with Regulus and his cousin, Cissy. They were seven, he remembered it was his favourite holiday, still is now.

"America. We'll go there." He decided. "Do you know where Remy is?" He asked as an afterthought. Ironclaw raised his eyebrows.

"No, we can try and get hold of him. You need all the help you can get," Sirius scoffed.

"Gee, thanks," Sirius replied jokingly.

"Good luck, Lord Black."
