Zhenya was really sad, and she was sobbing her heart out. She knew something was going wrong with Raven, and now she was probably going off with her older brother to find her mother and little brother. Or... her grandmother had punished her and would put bars on her windows. She didn't know what it was but she had the horrible feeling that she might not see Raven again.

"Here," she said, and put the letter into Dimitri's lap. She missed her best friend, and now that she was in hospital, she was even more worried. All she wanted to do was have her family adopt her and they could be sisters, but she needed to find her family. Zhenya just hoped she wouldn't be sick anymore, and would find them so then she could come home again.

"Uncle Archer not... not coming?" she said, sobbing still.

Then Dimitri read the letter that made his sister cried. He didn't have anything to say after he read that. The little girl who sent these might be very meaningful for Zhenya. He hugged her tightly.

"Don't worry.." he said. "She will be okay." he tried to make his sister calm. Actually he wondered who was the person who write this? Zhenya didn't tell him much about her friends. But he made sure that this girl was very closed to her.

"No, he'll come to Hospital later." he said. "Okay, I'm gonna take a bath first, then we go to Hospital." He smiled, then wiped a small tear in her eyes. "Don't cry anymore. You should be glad to meet the twins, right?"

Zhenya nodded at Dimitri and went to put some Ice over her eyes, which now felt swollen and icky. She had a big chat with Uncle Archer about his life before he came back home, and was surprised to find that he was a bachelor. Oh, a bachelor like Dimitri was! Hopefully he would get a job somewhere, she was sure he would.

She was finally excited to see her siblings again, and she planned to sit down and write a big letter for Raven. She would send the new owl and hope it would reach her. If it didn't, then she would get the letter back and know that Raven was unreachable.

After he calmed down his sister, Dimitri quickly took a shower, then dressed up. He didn't need a long time for that.

"Shall we go now?" asked him to Zhenya. "I'm too lazy to apparate, So I choose the floo network." Then he lighted up the fire on the fireplace then took the floo powder.

"Let's go."

Making up a hospital here... well, a ward. No idea where Magical Babies are born since Mungo's is for "Magical Maladies and Injuries"

Zhenya stood up and they headed over to the Fire Place.

"Girls First!" Zhenya said, and took a hand full of Floo Powder, stepped into the flames and said "St. Mungo's Maternity Hospital."

After holding her breath for a few scary seconds, she stepped out of the Fire Place at the hospital and was welcomed by a lovely Witch.
"I'm here to see my parents and baby siblings! The Burton Twins?" she asked.

"Oh yes dear, they are just over here," the Healer said, starting to walk away.

"Wait, I'm just waiting for my brother. He will be here in a few seconds, I'm sure," Zhenya replied.

Dimitri couldn't say anything when his sister wanted to go first except let her. Then he took the floo powder and stepped the flame.

"St. Mungo's Maternity Hospital!" he spoke loudly.

And..

BAM!!

OUCH..

He never liked portkey and Floo network. Seriously. Dimitri settled down when he arrived at Hospital. His shoulder was full of ash. How can a Wizard stand with this transportation? He murmured. Now, time to look for Zhenya. He noticed that she was with a healer. He tapped his shoulder, cleaned it from the ash and walked toward him.

"Hey." he waved to her. But he didn't feel comfortable with his hair, so he asked Zhenya. "Do my hair look messy?" he whispered to his sister. Thanks to the Floo Network.

Zhenya smiled at her brother and reached up to get some of the dust from her hair. There wasn't much there, though. "You look okay," she whispered back.

"Okay my brother is here," she said to the healer, who smiled at Dimitri and led them down a corridor until they reached door 77.

"Here you go," she said to them, opening the door.

Zhenya walked in shyly. "Hi," she said to her parents, and looked around nervously. Her mother was in the bed, holding one of the babies, and her father was in the chair next to the bed, holding the other baby.

Lisabel smiled at her two oldest children, "Come and meet your new siblings," she said, crossing her legs to make room for them.

Zhenya walked up to the bed and sat down on it, and looked at the baby. He was wearing a tiny blue beanie, and he was sleeping. Looking at the one in her father's arms, she saw she had a little purple beanie on. Zhenya smiled and said "Can I hold one of them?" and her mother carefully put the boy in her arms.
"Dima, come and sit next to me," she said with a smile. He HAD to hold a baby, they were... cute. "Oh, and here are the invitations I made," she said, handing it to Dimitri to look at.

tried to play Alexander, I've never play a Dad role before >_____< and by the way what date the twins born?

Dimitri followed the healer entered the room. Good that Zhenya said he didn't look too messy. he still tapped his shoulder to remove the dust. He let Zhenya entered the room first. Their parents welcomed them gladly.

"Hello, Mom. Hello Dad!" he greeted them warm. And looked at the babies! They were cute! His face looked very glad to see them. He sat next to his sister who held the baby boy. "You know, he looked very handsome." said him. "Just like me." he chuckled.

Alexander seemed like the happiest man on earth now. All of his family member gathered around here. He smiled to see his two grown-up children were very enthusiast to welcome the new members of his family.

"Do you want to hold her too, Dima?" asked him. Then carefully he put the baby girl in his Son's arm. "And do you want to give them name?" Suddenly he asked to both of his children. The man hadn't thought about the names for the babies. Usually Lisa and him named their children with Russian common name. Perhaps both of them had good names to them?

Carefully Dimitri held the baby girl on his arm. She looked pretty. "Hey, look!" said him to Zhenya. "She has your eyes! She really looked like you when you were still baby." he smiled. Then he noticed at the invitation card that his sister had made.

"That's good! Who will you invite to the party?" he asked. Though he had new baby siblings, but Dimitri didn't want to abandoned her. "I don't know what should I named them. And Dad.." he said. "Your brother had came last night."

The boy looked just like Dimitri? Zhenya laughed at her brother. She would have pinched him but she didn't want to disturb her little brother. "Hey look, Dima, I have a SISTER! And you have a BROTHER! I never thought I'd have a sister," she said.

Names? She had already thought about names, and she said "I have some girl names and some boy names," and pulled out her note pad and handed it to their Father

Quote:

Girls Names; Ava, Salome, Chandra, Grace
Boys Names; Sasha, Milan, Lucas, Claus, Theo

"Do you suggest any others?" she asked everyone. She rocked her baby brother in her arms, and felt proud to be a big sister. She would always be there for her little siblings, just like how Dimitri was always there for her.
And her sister looks like what she did? Zhenya was so happy! She smiled at all her family, from 4 they jumped to 6!
"I think I'll invite Raven, although I'm not sure if she will come. And I'll invite Laura, and my friend Angelina, and a few others. But I just want a small party," she said. Just a few of her good friends.

ooc: I've never thought that Sasha is a boy's name

"Oh, really?" said him when his son told that his brother was coming. "Why don't Archer come with you?" suddenly he asked.

handed the notes from his daughter, Alexander took a glasses from his pocket and read it. He was very glad that his daughter had a big enthusiast to named the newborn twins. He scratched his chin, thinking what name that would be suitable for his newborn children.

"Theodore Burton." suddenly he murmured. He thought that name was good for his new little boy, then he handed the paper to his wife. "And, what do you think, Lisa?" he asked.

Honestly, Dimitri was lack of idea to name his new siblings. Luckily Zhenya had so many ideas, seemed like she was very enthusiast to have new siblings.Then he heard his father mention a name. Theodore Burton. He scratched his chin, thinking. "Well, I like that name too, Dad." he nodded and agreed.

Then he noticed to Zhenya about her plan to invite her friends. "Wait.." suddenly he asked. "You don't sure that Raven would come? Why?"

Haha, Sasha is a Russian diminutive of Alexander

Theodore Burton sounded nice. Zhenya really liked that! She would call him Theo, and when he was an annoying teenager she would call him Dore, or Dora. She smiled down at her little brother and said "Hello Theo Burton, I'm your big sister! I'm Zhenya," and gave him a kiss on his head.

Lisabel was holding his son's hand, whilst he was being held and rocked by Zhenya. She loved seeing her big babies holding and already in love with her little babies. She thought Dimitri would be very hard to hold his baby siblings, but she was so happy to see he was okay with it.
"I like Theodore," she said, and stroked his little hand.
"And for a girl... how about Ava Salome Burton? I.. just can't chose between the two names," she said, and thought it would be good. That way she could be both!

"Well Uncle Archer thought it would be best if we just went without him but he can't wait to meet his little niece and nephew," Zhenya said.
Raven? "Well... she is sick and she fainted at school twice. And now she is in hospital, so I don't know. But I'll send her an invitation," she said.

"What a beautiful name, Mom." said Dimitri. His sister was very genious! "Beautiful name for beautiful baby. I'm sure that she will be more beautiful than you." eyed Zhenya. "Well, I'm just kidding." he chuckled.

"Is Raven is the girl that send you the present this morning?" Suddenly he asked. His sister was very sad and crying this morning because of that. Seemed the girl sounded very special for Zhenya.

Ava Salome Burton? That's a good name for his little prince. "I approved that." he smiled. "And you really have good names for your siblings, Zhenny." he stroked his daughter's hair.

Did they say birthday? "Merlin's beard!" The man felt he had forgotten something. "You turn 13 years old now. Happy Birthday!" Alexander gave a big hug to her older daughter. He had realized that she had grown-up now. He didn't want to forget about his older children though he had the newborns.

Laura had heard it was Zhenya's birthday and so she had decided to suprise her, she had left her house and after a few train rides and a long walk, she had made it, she knew she'd be in trouble once she got home but she knew her Mother didn't like her going anywhere near pure-bloods homes, she didn't like them and Laura couldn't see why and so she had run away and she hadn't forgot to buy Zhenya a present either.

KNOCK!! KNOCK!!

Laura knocked on the door, hoping it would be Zhenya that answered it, she was a bit scared of who might life with Zhenya.

Doing a split scene here Half at hospital, and half at home!

"Yeah, that's Raven," Zhenya said, hoping she would come.
Zhenya was happy! They had liked two of her names! Well, three! Theodore and Ava Salome, it was so nice. "Thanks Dad," she said proudly, "I'm glad you like them. I love my new siblings too. And when can you come home?"

Yes it was her birthday! She let her dad hug her, but she kept holding Theodore. "Thanks dad! I feel old now! Nearly as old as Dimitri!" She said, joking.

The first knock!! Zhenya ran down the stairs, careful not to slip down, and threw the door open. IT was LAURA! "LAURA!!" She said loudly, pulling her in and giving her a big hug. "I'm SO happy to see you! Oh wow, welcome to my home!" she said, and gave her the tour upstairs and down stairs.

She looked for Dimitri to introduce them, and when she found him she said "Dimitri, this is Laura! She is a good friend of mine from school, and Laura this is my brother Dimitri," she said. "My parents are at hospital with my new siblings! I'm a sister again!" she said happily. She pulled Laura outside and walked through to the guest house, where she knocked the door.
"Uncle Archer, this is my friend Laura from school, and Laura this is my uncle Archer," she said.

Archer smiled at the small girl, "Hi Laura. Welcome to Burton Cottage!" he said, and walked back inside with the girls. He was getting hungry.

Laura was trying to keep up with Zhenya, her legs weren't as big or fat as Zhenya and so she was struggling a bit, she smiled and said nicely how do you do to the people that Zhenya introduced her too. "Zhenya, I have a present for you." Laura took out the parcel she hoped that Zhenya would like the necklace she had gotten her.

Glenn gasped for air after she arrived on the doorstep of Zhenya's house. She hated apparation.

Thomas chuckled at the sight of Glenn being so dramatic, "You'll be fine. I'll just be at St Mungo's. I have an operation to assist in." He pulled a face and dissaparated with a crack. His view of his little sister vanished.

Glenn watched her brother twist in mid-air and disappear. A reproachful look on her face. She doubted that she'd ever like apparating. It was like she had run for hours.

She steadied her breathing and turned to the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

She smoothed the wrinkles in her jeans and clutched the parcel beneath her arm as she waited somewhat impatiently for Zhenya to open the door.

doing split scene, like a boss

Dimitri just laughed when his sister said she was nearly old as him. "If you feel as old as me, I think you'll be taller than now and already had a boyfriend." teased him. He made sure Zhenya wanted to stay here longer, but she would have party at home.

"Shall we go, now?" he asked. "The birthday girl will have a party at home, so we need to prepare it." Then he gave Ava to his father.

"Oh sweety, your Mama need to stay here for a while." said Alexander to his daughter. "But we will come home soon." He stroked her hair. He felt really old now, but he was glad to see his older children already grew up.

Oh, they throw a birthday party? It seemed nice. "Okay, take care and have fun!" said him. "Send our regards to your friends and Archer. We wished we could be there too." then he let them left the hospital

================================================== =


Dimitri had prepared everything for Zhenya's party. Cakes, check. Food, check, Drinks, check. Balloons, check. Prank, er.. check! Then he walked to the living room while Zhenya was looking for her. "Oh, Hi Laura." he smiled to the little girl. "Nice to meet you." said him warm.

He noticed that someone knocked the door. He walked to open the door. There was a blonde girl there. "Hello and Welcome!" he greeted her warm. "You must be Zhenya's friend too, right? I'm Dimitri, her brother. Nice to see you."

Zhenya went a bit red, then remembered it was her MOTHER who had told Dimitri about Gordy. She gave her mother a quick look, trying to let her know she wasn't happy to have her secrets on display. But, she agreed they had to go. She handed Theodore back to her mother and kissed him on the head. "Bye, I hope you come home soon with the babies," Zhenya said with a smile. She hugged her dad and her mother, and took Dimitri's hand to leave.

Lisabel was so happy with her babies. She rocked Theodore in her arms, and said his name out loud. "Theodore Alexander, and Ava Salome, Honey aren't they perfect? Perfect babies," she said, and leant over to kiss her husband. She couldn't get enough of how amazing her babies were! Her older babies, and her little babies.

================================================== =


A Present? For Zhenya? She smiled as she took the parcel and opened it. It was a necklace! She put it on and gave Laura a big bear hug, and said "I'm glad you didn't give me a nose-biting teacup," and laughed. "What do you think?" she asked, about her house and family.


Another knock? WOW! Zhenya ran to the door, holding Laura's hand. She was sure she would swing her friend into a wall, but she figured Laura would be able to keep up. Well, she hoped.
After Dimitri opened the door she saw Glenn! Her first ever Witch friend. She said "Glenn! I'm so glad you could come," and noticed she looked a bit... funny? Maybe she was tired? Or sick? Oh, Zhenya hoped she wasn't sick. "Come in! This is Laura, my friend. Well, you're both in Hufflepuff, maybe you have met? Anyway, come in," she said, and gave her a tour of the house. They started upstairs because the stairs were near the front door. Then she showed her downstairs, where all the decorations were.
"How have your holidays been so far?" she asked.

"Can I get anyone a drink? Or... well, help yourself to the food," she said, pointing to the small table that had small bowls of a HUGE assortment of food. Her brother must have put a charm on them to keep filling up as they were eaten. How good!

Glenn watched the door open, she had expected Zhenya to answer and she frowned slightly as this man opened the door. He looked a little like Zhenya made sense she supposed, he was her brother.

She smiled politely, "Yup. I'm Glenn"


And here was Zhenya. The girl she had first met on the Hogwarts Express in her first year. "Hey!" She grinned and stepped into the household. There was another girl there. Glenn had seen her around the Hufflepuff table. "Laura." She nodded at the girl. If her memory served her right, the girl was a year younger than herself. "My holiday has been really great. My baby brother is out of the hospital now. I'm not sure if I told you about him..." She frowned again.

"Drink'll be great!" Glenn said, following her friend to the table covered in food. This all looked delicious!

Hmm, Zhenya was sure she remembered hearing something about Glenn's younger brother. "I'm not sure if I remember. But I'm glad he is home! What was wrong with him? My mum just had twins! They are still in the hospital, though," Zhenya said happily.

Keeping an ear open to listen to Glenn, Zhenya filled a cup up with Butterbeer. She wasn't sure what Glenn would have liked to drink, but she was having a glass so she poured one for Glenn. If she didn't like it, they had a few other drinks.

Dimitri was very excited today! He just got a job as Wizarding British Immigration officer in International Cooperation department. Well, he hadn't told anyone if he applied for Ministry, except Zhenya. But it just a plan at a first time.

He just back from his office and a little bit tired. His first day was excited! And.. humiliating too because he tripped over of his own shoelace. But Gina Latorta, the department head seemed like a friendly old woman. Huh, hopefully Dimitri could stick with his new job. While he was on the way back into his home, suddenly an owl came to him. It was Rosie, Zhenya's owl! She dropped a letter into him. Any good news from his little-grown-up sister? Quickly Dima took it and read it.

SPOILER!!:

Quote:

To Dima,
How is everything at home? I hope the babies are going okay and mum and dad too. How is Archer? And how are you? Have you got a job yet? Going to college? Tell me what I'm missing!

School is great this year in most ways, absolutely awful in others. I made the quidditch team again, as a beater! Tell mother and father for me. We have our first game against the Puffs, but they were really good last year so I don't know if this year's team is better or not. Who knows. If we lose again I think I'll pull out for next year. I could be unlucky.
I also... I have a boyfriend. Don't tell that to mother and father though please. We started dating on Halloween! And his name is Gary, he just moved from Canada and he is really nice. I've enclosed a photo of us too, I hope you like it.
My friend Desiree also came back to Hogwarts! It was such a surprise seeing her because I thought she had left for good, but she only went to New Zealand. It's really good having her back especially because... well Raven isn't well. They said something about a brain cancer or something. They said she won't be able to live much longer and I don't know if it's true or not. Can you ask dad about it? I'm really scared Dima, what if she goes? I can't bear it!
I can't write any more, but please respond.
Love Zhenya, the best sister!

She sent it with her photo with a guy! Okay, He should be calm, and pretended that she didn't write anything. Dimitri promised that he wouldn't tell about that to his parents. He just realized that he was already in front of the door. "Mom, I'm home!" He entered the house and accidentally he dropped her photo to the floor and he didn't realized it. Tonight he would reply her letter, but he need to speak to his father about cancer. Sigh. She must know that Dima didn't have any interest about medical things, and he should ask his father about that?

Lisabel was busy in the kitchen chopping up dinner. The twins were asleep in the nursery, and she was using the free hours to catch up on cleaning and cooking. She had a cake in the oven, and lots of prepared food in the fridge. She had just finished making the fruit salad when she heard the door open, and thought it might be Alexander, but it wasn't.

"Hi darling," she greeted her handsome eldest son. She took his head in her hands and kissed his forehead briefly, before putting the kettle on. Typical Lisabel. "How was your day?" she asked. Where was he going? Rolling her eyes, assuming he wanted to speak to Alexander, she went to the hallway to make sure the door was locked. There was something on the floor. "Dimitri I think you dro-" she started to say, but stopped as she turned it over. It was her daughter! What was she... WHO WAS SHE WITH? Her eyes wide with alarm as she looked at her eldest daughter, thirteen years old. With a boy! They looked quite close, too. Were they friends? Or... more than friends? Would Zhenya really take up with a boy? She wasn't sure. What about the little muggle boy down the road, Gordy. Well, he wasn't little anymore, just like Zhenya. They were growing up. She smiled at the photo and propped it on the entrance table, in front of a candle.

Dimitri just grinned when his mother asked him about his day. He hadn't told her about his new job actually, even he didn't tell her about his application. The 20-year-old guy took off his coat and hung it. So his mother could see him with his vest and shirt. It looked quite formal for him since he never been so neat before. But he looked handsome, right? Hehehe.

Then suddenly he heard that she spoke something. He dropped something? Quickly he checked on his pocket and he just realized that..

HE DROPPED ZHENYA'S PHOTO WITH HER NEW BOYFRIEND!

Ohmygosh! If his sister knew about that, maybe she wanted to kill him right now! No, he wouldn't tell her about that. But what if his mother sent a letter to her about that?

"OH NO!" he shouted. Quickly he went to the hallway and just realized that the photo was not there! Did his mom take it? And now where was it? His mother put it on the table. Good, he couldn't keep it alone. Maybe she wanted to know too about Zhenya nowadays, right? That's okay, she was their mom, so she also needed to know about her own daughter who was grown-up, right?

"Okay, I could explain it." said him. Tried not too look panic. But he'd broken his promise, right. He sat at the stall and asked her to sit too. Just hoped that she wouldn't get heart attack when his mother about that. But..
"Well, I have good news to you." he smiled and his face looked very excited. "Guess who applied on Ministry a few weeks ago and placed in International Cooperation?" asked him.

Then... he would tell her about Zhenya's letter which just came to him before.

Lisabel frowned at Dimitri when he came back. He looked worried, was it? Did he not mean to drop this photo? Crossing her arms she thought to herself, why is he hiding it? Did Zhenya not want her to know? She just wanted to know what was going on in her life.

She sat down and joined Dimitri, bracing for the news that her baby girl, her Zhenya, was in a relationship. Her first relationship! But... a job? "YOU GOT A JOB?" she yelled with delight, jumping up and walking over to him to give him a huge congratulatory hug. "Oh Dima that's wonderful! I'm so proud of you," she said kissing his cheek. Her son had finally planted his roots back at Home. She slowly relaxed, knowing that he wouldn't be as likely to anounce another holiday soon, that would last indefinitely. She knew Zhenya wouldn't be able to hand it, but she couldn't either. She felt herself tearing up because she was so happy for him. She got him a fruit salad and a hot drink and said "Congratulations my darling," and served herself some too.

"Yes, Mom! I'm very excited about that." He let his mother hugged him tightly. Finally he decided to stay at home, no more travelling but since he was in International Cooperation, he still had a chance to do that.. for business reason of course. The 20-year-old guy was very glad that he was not in Magical Law Enforcement, same as his father before he became a healer. He wanted to be different from him.

"Thanks! I just hope that I could stick with this job." he said and handed the salad and drink from his mom. Yum! But.. How could he tell her about Zhenya now? In other side, he felt that he'd broken his promise to his sister. He was also confused why she didn't let his parents know about that? Dimitri reached something from his pocket and handed the letter to his mom.

He took a very deep breath. Just hoped that she wouldn't get heart attack about this news. "Well, I don't mean to hide it from you. I just got this letter when I was on my way to home. And.." He sipped his drink before he continued to talk. ".. She said not to tell me about her relationship." He tried to be calm. Maybe she didn't want her to know because his mom would be very busy with the babies? He just shrugged, because sometimes he didn't understand about his little-grown-up sister
