Charlotte looked at her sleeping son in his crib and couldn't believe that he was already there. It seemed like only the day before she was throwing up in her bathroom at Aridorn. When she thought that she picked up some bug because she had absolutely no memory of her rape. When she found out she was pregnant, she had no idea what she was going to do. She considered aborting the small life in her stomach. She thought about snuffing out the baby, but realized that she wouldn't just be getting rid of a piece of herself. While she would always support a woman's right to decide if they wanted to keep a baby or not, she knew that she would never be able to get rid of her own.

Luka was her child, he might be half of Callum, but he had nothing to do with the baby. Callum would never know about the baby and Charlotte would make sure that her son only knew James as his father.

Charley ran her fingers through her curly blonde hair and turned on the baby monitor that would alert her if Luka woke up from his nap. The young mother walked into her living room, grabbing some of the dishes that she had left there when she had lunch and fed Luka. Things had been difficult, but she was enjoying being a mother. Knowing that she and James were being the best parents possible for their little boy, it made the long nights worth it. When she was able to smile at her baby boy and know that he was loved, it was perfect.

There was a textbook on the table, filled with spells that she had to study if she wanted to become a healer. They had given her time away from the hospital since she wanted to spend time with her son, and thankfully they were also understanding about James joining the military. It was difficult, but they would make it work. Anything that was good for their son, was worth it in the end.

Renee hoped for the love of all that was holy that his brother-in-law was not going to be home or make any sort of appearance while he was there. Renee disliked the guy, no, he hated the boy and he was not good enough for Charlotte or Luka. Renee wanted the best life for his sisters, all of them, and for little Luka and having James involved in the family was only going to make things worse, Renee could see how the lives of his loved ones were going to be shattered when he left but there was little he could do. There was no talking to Charley on the subject, all she saw was a man trying to do his best to support his family but that was the problem, it wasn't his family, it was Renee's. Renee was connected by blood, what did James have? A piece of paper?

Military training while you had a young family? It was just a way to run. Renee hated seeing his sister going through life as a single mother but he would rather see her single, raising her son on her own with the support of her family than to be moved all around the country, lord only knowing how many more moves were ahead of them all while her husband spent barely any time at home. He was running. It was obvious, James was running from the responsibilities he had promised Charlotte. He was a selfish human being, wanting to take Charley and Luka around the country with him, distancing them from their family while he went off to some army base for more preparations and training before being shipped off around the world, leaving her home alone with a baby and far away from her family, from the people that really loved her.

Renee had nothing against the military, he had nothing against the men that joined, hell it had been his goal in life before he realised he was needed for a higher calling but he was never joining with a family, a wife, he was never going to run off and leave his family home alone, away from their loved ones, he had his mom and his dad, he had his three sisters but that wasn't like your own family, a wife and child that you were supposed to love with all your heart.

Renee knocked on the door of Charley's place. He pushed away his anger and kept it deep, deep down. She didn't need him coming into her home with a grudge against the man she loved right now and he didn't want to bring that sort of energy into her life or Luka's. Renee wanted to make sure he was there for them, always and forever, they were his family and he loved them both dearly and he would be there to pick up the pieces when James up and left them.

Charley heard the knock on the door and closed the text book she had been pouring over. There was so much to learn and she wished that she hadn't been chased from Aridorn. If she hadn't been raped, she wouldn't have left the school and she would be able to learn everything there. She heard the soft noises coming from the baby monitor and tried to remind herself that if she hadn't been chased from the school, she wouldn't have Luka.

Things worked their own way out and it seemed to be for the best.

She set the text book down on their coffee table and walked to the front door. She hadn't seen much of her family since Luka's baptism, most of them just busy with their own lives. Jasmine and Maddie were off exploring the bayous of Louisana for their summer vacation and Renee seemed to be chasing more bad guys than usual. Charlotte looked into the peep hole and couldn't stop the wide smile from spreading itself over her face. She unlocked the door and threw it open,

"Nee!" She opened her arms for her older brother and was impossibly happy that her day of studying between time with Luka was disturbed by Renee of all people. Her older brother was the proudest uncle possible, and she would never have to worry about him looking at Luka differently than any of Charlotte and James's future children. She would never have to know that Renee saw Luka as part monster, he would always just be Charlotte's son.

Charlotte wrapped her arms around her brother and hugged him tightly. It was one of the first times she had been able to hug him without her huge belly getting in the way.
"Come in, come in! Are you hungry, can I get you something?" She asked stepping into the apartment, hoping that she didn't accidentally wake Luka with the noise.

Renee stood waiting and not for long. He saw the light from the peephole disappear and knew that Charlotte would be looking out at him. He grinned impossibly wide, showing all the pearly whites he could. The door swung open and a nickname squealed from Charley.

Renee hugged his sister back a little tighter than he should have but he knew she'd be okay, his bear hugs were something she was used to, though she hadn't had many for quite a while, still he lifted her off the ground and did a little shaky move with her. Her ever expanding stomach had meant he'd had to be more delicate with her which wasn't hard to do he was used to having to be a little more delicate with his sisters, Charley just needed a little more delicacy!

"I haven't been able to hug you proper like in forever." He said, putting her back down on the ground. "That thing's been getting in my way." He said, poking her tummy gently. "All that gas you'd been harbouring, really put some distance between us." he teased, stepping into her place.

"I wouldn't say no to a sandwich." He said, thinking that it had been a couple of hours since he last ate when he visited mom. "Mom says hey." He said, wondering to a picture on the wall of Charley and James on their wedding day. She looked beautiful, she always did. His sisters were stunning and he couldn't do enough for them, he only wished he could do more for Charley. He'd let her down and he was never going to forgive himself for that, but more than that, he would never forgive her husband, he then boyfriend, for what had happened to his sister. "Where's my little buddy at?" He asked, turning around to look at Charley. He wanted cuddles with his nephew but seeing that Charley wasn't holding him and he wasn't in the room with either of them, Renee came to the conclusion his darling nephew was fast asleep, giving mommy a little rest.

Renee and Charley had always been close. They were the oldest in their family and they always stuck together. The twins depended on each other, but Charley needed her big brother. When everything happened in New Zealand, she wanted to go to him first. Tell him what happened and how she never wanted things to be like this. More than anything, she had been terrified of disappointing Renee, or worse than that she was worried that he wouldn't believe her. That no female wouldn't realize she had lost her virginity, that no female wouldn't realize that she was pregnant. When Renee still loved her the exactly same as before, if not more, she coudn't even put into words how amazing it was.

"That's what happens when a baby is in there, and then comes out." She had been too sore for one of his bear hugs for a long time. She was even too sore to have intimate time with her husband, people warned her that it would take a while to get back in the swing of things, even with how much she wanted to be with him when she was the size of a whale. Stupid hormones. She laughed when he mentioned her gas and shoved his shoulder,
"Shut your face." She laughed, knowing he was just teasing her.

She grinned when he passed on a hey from their mother. Renee was such a mommy's boy, it was endearing. She knew that she was going to make Luka into one, so she couldn't even say anything bad about it. Charley walked into her kitchen and pulled out some of the nicer slices of ham that they had for dinner the night before and put it on some homemade milk and honey bread that she baked. Charley added some cheese and even found some chips in the cabinet. When he asked about his little buddy, she couldn't help but tease her brother back.
"James? He's out but I'm sure he'll be so happy to know that you were asking about him." She placed the plate in her brother's hands so he wouldn't be able to shove her for the comment. Charley carefully sat down, placing one of their throw pillows over her chest as extra protection against him.

"Luka is napping."

Being the only boy, Renee felt close to all of his sisters, he felt like their protector, especially when he was older and the twins came along, at that point in his life he had a little more understanding of what it was to love so much you'd do anything for someone. He'd always felt that way about Charley, for as long as he could remember it, but he'd never realised it until his youngest sisters were born. It was an incredible and daunting sensation to feel the need to protect not one but three human lives but he wrapped that need around himself like bullet proof vest and wore it with pride, knowing that one day, he would need to stand up for his sisters, all of them and he did. In school, out of school, it didn't matter, but now he'd let Charley down. It was almost a year since her rape and he'd let her down, he hadn't saved her, her so called boyfriend hadn't saved her and yet she married the man.

James took the food Charley made him and glared at his sister as he sat to the dining table. "Imma get choo for that." He said, narrowing his eyes on his sister and taking a chunk out of his sandwich. He hated James, there was no way the guy was ever going to win Renee's respect after what he'd done to Charley. He hated to say it but he really didn't consider James a part of the family. He wanted to but after he let Charley down so badly, Renee just couldn't accept him, even though they were married.

Renee had nothing against any guys that Charley would want to date. He knew she was a smart girl, a sensible girl and if she'd wanted to date woman, he'd have been fine with that too, he loved his sister no matter what but marrying a guy that had let her down? Well he'd still love Charley, as always, but he wouldn't accept that boy. At least Charley would always have her little Luka and thank the lord that he hadn't been called James whatever the third, Renee wouldn't have loved him any less but he would have probably had a couple of bald spots on his head. "Aww, how long's he been down?" He asked, gulping back his sandwich. "It's great seeing ya' and all, but I miss the little fella." He took another bite out of his sandwich and stood up. "Got a beer or coke in the fridge?" He asked with his mouth full, walking over to the kitchen. He knew he shouldn't have spoken with his mouthful but hey, not everyone was perfect.

Telling her parents that she was pregnant with Luka was terrifying enough. She knew that they would automatically assume. They would think that during some fumbling encounter with James that they skipped the birth control, or that they just decided to risk it all. Explaining to them that she had no memory of having sex at all, that was a whole different horror. She had to tell them that she just didn't know who Luka's father was. Sure she had an idea what it was Callum who hurt her, but there was no way of knowing for sure. He could of had a parade of men come in there while she was passed out and she would have never known it.

Charley glanced towards Luka's bedroom and knew that no matter what, she would always love her son. She would love the child regardless of how he was made because he was part her. He was her child and no amount of horror before he was born would change that. He was born into a loving home and that was what mattered to her.
"Oh you love me." She teased back, knowing that one day her brother and husband would have to get over whatever issues they had with each other. She was over trying to figure it out and she just couldn't care anymore. Worrying about school, Luka and James leaving had her wound up enough.
"Not too long, he'll probably be out for about an hour or so." Knowing her son it would be less than that, but she could dream.

"There should be some coke." Neither of them were old enough to drink, not to mention James didn't seem to enjoy the taste of it and Charley was still nursing. She had heard about women getting drunk then using test strips to check the alcohol levels in their breast milk. She learned her lesson the last time she drank with someone and wasn't ever going to make the same mistake twice. No matter how much she loved Luka there wasn't enough room in the world for another Grey child.

"How has work been?"

Renee pouted before he bit into his sandwich. He loved Luka to pieces. He was 100% Charley and Renee loved that. No matter how many children his sister had, no matter how many fathers were involved, he would be there, as a constant, and he would love every single kid unconditionally, because to him, they would all be 100% Charlotte and nothing would be able to change that in his eyes, even if the kids were adopted they would all take up a spot in her heart and that was what made them all family.

"Well I'll just have to stick around for a while then." He grinned smugly at his sister. He loved spending time with Luke, there was never any denying that, but of course, he also loved spending time with his sister and he knew it was gonna be good have some brother/sister time. He needed to catch up on the teasing. He'd heard stories from friends with kids about their wives and girlfriends all being emotionally unstable while pregnant so he'd laid off Charlotte for a little while, but now that little piece of adorable was out of her, he could let go a little, though he would have to build up to it, he couldn't just load her with it all in one night, that'd be mean.

Renee grabbed a coke out of the fridge and cracked it open. He loved the sound of a can opening no matter what was in it. It took him back to before his magical schooling days to when he used to run down to the corner shop with his friends and just buy a can each and hang out in a playing field all morning and afternoon. When the street lights started to come on, that was when he knew it was time to go home.

"Just the same old, same old, y'know? Been a bit more short handed than usual but we survive, though not all the losers we catch do." Renee liked to bring wrong doers in alive if he could but the sorts of wizards he was dealing with weren't exactly the cooperative type. They were more powerful and more dangerous than your average witch or wizard and as such needed a firmer hand, but he didn't like to think much about work, not when he was around family. Work colleagues, sure, but not family or civilians.

"How's things with you?" He reached down into his pocket and pulled out a little silver packet. "Hey, catch." He made sure that she was ready this time before throwing anything at her. In the past he'd thrown all sorts at his sister, from sticks of butter to cushions, but this wasn't a messing around thing. "Someone at work gave it to me, said it helped when she had a baby." He reached into his pocket again and pulled out a piece of paper with a recipe on. "It's brewers yeast apparently. Supposed to be good for ... you know, the whole feeding thing." While Renee had absolutely nothing against breastfeeding or women in general breastfeeding wherever the heck they liked, he did have issues when it came to talking about his sister's breasts. "And here's a cookie recipe." He added, tapping the piece of paper he'd placed on the table. He decided to get straight back into his sandwich and coke, he wanted to avoid any more talk of where that particular brand of milk came from and if he had a full mouth then he couldn't partake in a conversation about it.

As if her big brother was going to leave just because Luka was down for a nap. Charley smiled at her older brother and knew that there would hopefully be a time when he and James would just get past what happened. That neither of them could have done anything to have stopped Callum from what he did to her. At least that was what she had to tell herself. She did everything that she could, she had just been too stupid to realize the endgame that Callum had in mind for her. She just assumed that she would have to deal with his flirting. She just thought that bringing up Clover and how happy the two of them seemed together would be enough. That Clover's company with him would be enough to keep him from wanting her.

Apparently the allure of her virginity was too much for the sick ass.

"Well bless my heart, my brother actually wants to spend time with me!" He had become world's proudest uncle ever since she gave birth to Luka, and she couldn't blame him. Her son was pretty fantastic. Even if she knew that it would come with some teasing. She had a feeling he would get on her for the weight that she gained during her pregnancy at some point, so she kept the pillow firmly around her stomach, hoping to block it from her brother. She had always been a thin girl, despite her ravenous eating habits and tendency to enjoy more things that were deep fried than she liked green, but it never caught up with her. She normally could swim, play quidditch, run to keep active. She really couldn't with Luka inside of her.

Charley just hoped that her brother would have enough of a survival instinct for an auror and keep his rude comments down. She might be bit emotional from having her son, but that didn't mean a pillow to her brother's sensitive area wouldn't be uncalled for. She was sure that there was a group of girls from his Salem days who would be willing to pay good money to see that happen. Not that she would ever turn Renee over to the heart broken masses, but it was an entertaining thought.

It was sometimes strange to think that her brother and husband were both in lines of work that could possibly have them take a life. Probably because when she saw them it was all smiles, it was all happiness and life. She just couldn't make the image of those happy and wonderful people snuffing out the life in another living creature.
"So hard to wrap my brain around that." Not because she wasn't smart, she was in fact quite bright, it was just hard to see someone as happy and silly as Renee dealing out the deathly blow.

She caught the silver packet from Renee and looked it over, unsure what it was until he mentioned it. The name struck a chord with her, since she knew exactly what else it was supposed to be for.
"Thanks, I've been meaning to get some." James didn't know, but she had been seeing a therapist for the past few weeks. Her doctor insisted that it would be able to help her with the mild blues she had been feeling after Luka was born, and it was nice to have someone to talk to about coping with loving her son, but hating how he was placed inside of her.
"I, um, I've been seeing a therapist." She wasn't sure how her brother would handle such news, but figured that while she had him there, she might as well explain it all.
"I had been worrying myself over how I was bonding with Luka, and I wanted to make sure everything was alright." She looked down at the pillow around her stomach and then at the door keeping her baby from her.

"I love him, I do. I just want to be able to look at him and not think about Callum."
