Authors Notes: loosely based on the "Parent Trap" challenge. Though Lexa Wilkins and Ronni Weasley meet up at Hogwarts and they get along from the get go. Pity the professors....Weasley twins in Slytherin. I know not following the challenge, but I couldn't resist torturing Severus.

 


 


 


Faith clutched her small daughter to her as she walked through the airport terminal. Alexandra had fussed the entire flight.

Faith couldn't blame her. Damned Wizard laws, damned judgments. Damn everything!

Lexa was going to be a surprise. The not quite two years she had spent in Egypt had been hellish and hectic. The demon cult there had been tough to root out. The Goblins that were involved were...strange.

She and Bill had had fireworks from the get go. The night they met, they had ended up in bed, the adrenaline rush after patrol at the site he was trying to break the curses on had been eventful and left Faith high on the rush and horny as hell.

Lexa and Ronni had to have been conceived that night, or within the week. Two months later Faith was throwing up at the drop of a hat and had been drug to a Mediwitch by Bill who had been worried that she had been affected by a curse or by some sort of poisoning. She was pregnant.

She had been so stunned she hadn't quite come out of the fog that that news had left her in until three months later when the girls started to kick. She was married. That fact had taken weeks to sink in. Married. Her.

Bill had been smothering. He had wanted her to stop slaying, sit home and knit or bake cookies or something. They'd fought and fought and fought.

Faith finally couldn't take anymore, a month before when their fighting had woken the girls, Lexa and Ronni clung together in their crib sobbing and had flinched away from both their parents.

The divorce had been shattering. The Wizarding law in Cairo was strict. Only Bill's sense of fairness allowed her to walk away with Lexa. Then only because Faith was a Slayer had it even been considered. If she had been just an ordinary "Muggle", both girls would have stayed with Bill. When Bill had made the objection that their mother had the right to some sort of contact with the girls he had not known what would happen.

The Wizarding Court of Cairo had given Faith Alexandra as she showed more "slayerness" and Bill Veronica. In addition, forbidden any contact between Faith and Bill for a decade mostly out of spite for Bill's protest of the original custody verdict that had given Bill both girls and forbid Faith from ever seeing any of them again.

"ON! ON! ON!" Ten-month-old Lexa insisted.

"I know baby. I know." Faith whispered brokenly into her daughter's dark, decidedly red casted hair. "I know."

"Faith?"

"Xander." Faith swallowed.

"Faith you have a baby."


"Yeah. My daughter. Alexandra Angel Wilkins."

"Whoa--that ain’t mine" Xander yelped then frowned. "She's not right; I didn't get that drunk..."

Faith laughed. Leave it to Xander to make her smile when she just wanted to curl up and wait for the world to end. If she didn't have Lexa, she just might have opted for that. "No, Xan, she's not yours. I met her father in Egypt. She's named for a pair of good guys. You and Angel. Yeah, yeah, you hate his guts, but he believed in me. So did you...Lexa, meet your Uncle Xan, baby."

"ON!" Lexa complained.

Somehow, Faith managed not to cry.

Bill Weasley swallowed.

Veronica Harriet Weasley glared at her father. "EHHA EHHA!"

"I know sweetie." Bill managed.

"EHHA!" the dark-red haired baby yelled.

Bill staved off the urge to howl along with his baby girl. "We're gonna go to England for Easter, baby. All right? Go see Grandmum and Grandpop."

"EHHA!!!"

Bill cuddled his daughter tightly to his chest and murmured the word that activated the portkey.

"BILIUS WEASLEY, WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT?"

"Gee, mum, thought you would recognize a baby" Bill managed.

Molly only blinked. "Bill?"

"Ronni, meet your grandmum. Mum, this is Veronica Harriet Weasley."

"And her mother?" Molly asked dazedly.

"Gone, mum." Long gone. Forever. Along with...no he pushed it from his mind. It was simply too painful. "I don't want to talk about it."
