Pairing name: Jamilla

Months had gone by with hide nor hair of Bella could be found despite the exhaustive efforts of the Aurors and the Cullen's. But the situation in Seattle continued to increase and they feared they would have to step in soon as it appeared the Volturi would not be stepping in anytime soon. The Quillette pack had also been informed on what was going on in Seattle as Jasper had come to the conclusion that it was Newborns (he and the Major were itching to destroy all of them before they endangered Camilla and her family), and what had happened and even given them the letter as proof that the rest of them didn't have a hand in it and that Edward had been dealt with. The pack had agreed to keep an eye out on their patrols as it explained why they were shifting so quickly.

On other matters Camilla and Jasper continued to grow closer and had been on a quite a few dates. Their families could tell they were falling for each other and hoped it continued to blossom. Andy had given the Cullen's the location of their home and they would be joining them on Christmas morning to celebrate which was quickly approaching. Andy had also started working part-time at the hospital for a month now and either Esme or Rosalie would babysit Teddy for them if Fred and George were at the shop. The shop continued to thrive despite all the disappearances going on, and the charm protected Fred and George from being taken so their family had peace of mind as they would use the Floo to and from work to avoid any risks.

Teddy was coming on in leaps and bounds and was becoming a cheeky little monster as he tried to get into anything and everything. As for Camilla: she would have her first session with Carlisle today but thankfully he would be coming to her home so she didn't have to go to the Hospital and as of right now; she was visiting her loved ones graves.

"Hi Mum. Hi Dad, Siri, Remus, Dora and Ted." Camilla said tearfully, as she created a wreath of winter roses to appear on all of their graves and kneeled down in front of them not caring about the snow getting her jeans wet.

"I miss you all so much." She sobbed, tears pouring down her cheeks like a waterfall. "I really wish you were here. I met my mate his names Jasper Whitlock. I didn't say before as we are taking things slow but we have been on a few dates now, and I know what your going to say Daddy, Sirius and you too Remus: 'that you need to check him out first', but Fred and George would've done you proud with the interrogation. And he's nice to Kreacher and gets along well with Fred and George. He's also amazing with Teddy and Andy loves him. I think I do too. Teddy is becoming a little terror." She laughed wetly. "I seriously think he got the Marauder gene; he's a cheeky little thing and has the most gorgeous laugh, and when he smiles he has a little dimple on his left cheek, but he's starting to get into everything.

I will make sure he never forgets any of you but especially you Remus, Dora and Ted. I'll make sure he knows he has two Mummies and maybe, eventually two Daddies who love him so very much. I promise." Camilla swore, almost like she was begging them to understand and believe her.

"They know that sweetheart." Andy said gently, resting a hand on Camilla's shoulder. "Come, Carlisle is here. He's in the living room, when Ted wakes up I'll take him out here for a bit. Are you excited for your date with Jasper tomorrow?"

"I am. I've never been to a funfair before. Do you think Teddy will like it?" Camilla asked, as she got up brushing away the snow and tears. She paused for a moment and kissed her fingers and placed it on each of the graves, even Ted's which touched Andy as she smiled lovingly at Camilla and copied her surrogate daughter's actions.

"I think he will just be happy to be with you. But he will like all the sights and smells too but you don't have to take him I can look after him." Andy said wrapping an arm around the young girls shoulders.

"It's so okay Andy I don't mind taking him, thank you but you deserve a break from all of us." Camilla joked, smiling softly but it was a little strained.

"Well, now that you put it like that..." Andy teased, succeeding in getting a laugh from Camilla as they entered the living room. "I'll leave you to it." She said kissing Camilla's temple.

"Hi Carlisle." Camilla greeted, as she sat in one of the armchairs and poured herself a cup of honey tea and offered the Blood-pop to Carlisle which he graciously accepted and put into his pocket for later.

"Hello Camilla." Carlisle greeted smiling softly at her to ease her into relaxing. "How're you feeling today?" He asked softly, beginning their session.

"A little down today to be honest." Camilla admitted.

"Why is that?" He questioned neutrally, relaxing Camilla into opening up.

"I was outside visiting my families graves. It's harder the closer it gets to Christmas, or their birthdays or the anniversary of their deaths especially as it's my fault." Camilla sighed, looking down at her teacup.

"Why would you say that?" Carlisle questioned. "Or think that?"

"My Mum, my Dad and Sirius all died protecting me. Teddy lost his parents and his grandfather, Andy's husband, in a battle against a madman who was after me." Camilla replied sadly.

"That doesn't make it your fault Cami. They loved you and wanted to protect you and Teddy in his parents case. The same way you would that for him, Andy and the twins. As they would do again for you. As my family would for you." Carlisle said gently.

"Sirius once said to me, 'the ones that love us never really leave us. That you can always find them in here.'" Camilla said pointing towards her heart.

"Those are excellent words to live by and I have no doubt, as Teddy gets older you'll tell him this too. Now, what happened in the war?" Carlisle asked.

For the rest of the hour they spoke of what happened during the war and how each moment made her feel and how she could deal with them, especially when she was tortured by Bellatrix. He made the suggestion if she didn't want to talk to Andy about that as Bellatrix was her sister, she could talk to him, or Jasper, the twins or any of the others in his house. He also suggested that she start a diary if she felt she couldn't talk to anyone as it would help get things off her chest.

"That was great, Camilla well done." Carlisle praised. "Next session if you've written anything you could show me and we'll go from there." He said standing up to pull the young woman in for a tight hug. "Well done. Go relax now as I know you have a date with Jasper tomorrow. I'll see you later."

"Thank you Carlisle." Camilla said, as she saw him out as he had to get to work. Once the door was closed she went upstairs for a bubble bath to relax before she went to find her son and Andy.

The next day Camilla was a nervous ball of excitement as Andy added finishing touches to her hair and makeup. She was dressed in a green skater skirt, a black off the shoulder top, black tights and black buckled heels and Sirius's leather jacket. She had burnt orange eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, mascara and taupe coloured lipstick, and her hair was curled with a braid pinned around the crown of her head. Teddy who was playing with Moony at her feet was dressed in khaki coloured tracksuit bottoms, white T-shirt, a black jumper that said 'Ain't no Mama like the one I got', white socks and brown trainers, his brown fluffy coat and a black bobble hat and gloves.

"There we go sweetheart. You look beautiful." Andy said, smiling at Camilla in the mirror.

"Thank you Andy. I love you." Camilla smiled.

"Wuv Mama. Wuv Nana." Teddy joined in.

"I love you too baby." Camilla smiled picking him up and seating him on her lap.

"I love you too Camilla and you little man." Andy said lovingly, smiling at the pair as Teddy snuggled into his mother. While Camilla was distracted Andy quickly grabbed her phone and took a picture of the sweet pair knowing Camilla would thank her when she saw it before returning it to the black changing bag. At that moment Kreacher popped into the closest.

"Mistress, your mate Major Whitlock is here." He croaked, bowing to them.

"Thank you Kreacher we'll be down in a moment." Camilla said gratefully. Kreacher bowed once again and disappeared with a pop.

"Ready darling?" Andy asked.

"Yeah." Camilla replied with a happy smile.

"You look beautiful darlin'." Jasper said in awe, as he watched Camilla come down the stairs with Teddy in her arms and Andy behind her.

"Thank you Jazz. You don't look too bad yourself." Camilla said teasingly but she had a sincere smile on her face as she looked at Jasper who was dressed in black jeans, brown trainers and a smart blue shirt peaking out a little from under his black jumper.

"Thank you darlin'." Jasper said with a laugh. "Let me get that." He said taking the changing bag from Andy.

"Thank you Jasper." She said impressed by his gracious behaviour. "You kids have fun and I'll see you later. Be good for Mummy and Jasper, Teddy." Andy said sternly to her grandson before she kissed his and Camilla's foreheads.

"Say bye to Nana, Teddy." Camilla said waving her hand so he could copy.

"Bye Nana." Teddy copied, getting praised from Camilla and Andy and even Jasper.

"I've put the car seat and his buggy in the car so we're all set." Jasper said as they left after saying goodbye to Andy and Jasper promising, as always, to look after Camilla and Teddy.

"Thank you Jasper." Camilla said gratefully, pressing a tender kiss to his lips.

"You're welcome darkin'." Jasper said, pressing another kiss to her lips and ruffling Teddy's hair before placing his hat back on after prying it gently out of his hands. "You need to keep your hat on, lil' man." Jasper said gently but sternly only to get a giggle from Teddy.

"Shall we Ma'am?" Jasper asked holding his arm out to her, much like her first day at school making Camilla laugh and smile tenderly at him.

"We shall good Sir." Camilla agreed linking her free arm through his while holding Teddy on her hip with the other.

Once they reached the funfair Jasper quickly parked the car and came round to open her door holding his hand out.

"Thank you Jazz." Camilla said pressing a kiss to his lips, before turning to get Teddy out while Jasper expertly set up the buggy. Once Teddy was safely strapped in the buggy and covered with a blanket and had his Moony, they headed towards the entrance where Jasper paid for their admittance despite Camilla's protests. As they entered the fair Camilla and Teddy looked around amazed at all the stalls, and food vendors, the rides with the music and the flashing lights while Jasper watched on adoringly. A smile never leaning his face shocking the students from their school that walked past them staring.

"This is amazing, isn't it Teddy?" Camilla asked in awe. It was like her first visit to Diagon Alley where she wished she had more eyes so she could take in all the sights. Teddy was in a similar state as his mother as he held Moony close to his chest and looked around at all the sights, sounds and smells.

"You both are." Jasper refuted, pressing a kiss to her temple with his arm wrapped around her hips.

"That was so cheesy Mr Whitlock." Camilla teased, snaking his chest but she was giggling. Which made a wide smile come on to Jasper's face.

"Let's see if we can win you and Teddy a stuffed toy." Jasper said with a smirk, making Camilla laugh as they both knew it would be easy for both of them to get one if they really wanted.

***

In the end they had an amazing date. Jasper had won a orange monkey for Teddy that had Velcro attached to its hands and feet so it hang from you which he loved as he sat playing and giggling at it making both Camilla and Jasper laugh. He'd also won a SpongeBob toy for Camilla which she also loved, and she had won a Patrick Star toy for Jasper. Both of which were back in the car. They had taken a lot of pictures of all three of them together on a ride suitable for a baby, or one of them on a ride with Teddy. They had tried sugar donuts and candy floss and even been complimented by an elderly lady on, 'what a beautiful son they had'.

"Thank you Jasper I had an amazing time." Camilla said with a yawn, as Jasper drove back to her house, Teddy now fast asleep in the back clutching Moony and his monkey tightly.

"Your welcome darlin'." Jasper said, pressing a kiss to her hand. "I had an amazing time too." He added, taking her hand as he drove them back home. He was glad they were both slowly opening up to each other. He couldn't wait to the next one as he could feel it blossoming between them and he would not let anyone or anything come between them. He would go to the ends of the Earth for Camilla and Teddy and he would make sure they knew that.
