Looking up at the ceiling, Selina clenched her fists in the bedsheets and emitted a nervous sigh. She finally snapped when a searing agony travelled up her spine. The sound of her scream sent tremors through her body. The home could still hear the cry, even though the storm outside muted it.

"My darling, it's all right. You're okay." As Gabrielle tenderly tousles her daughter's hair, she expresses her immense empathy for her daughter's suffering and the fact that she needed to provide the best care possible.

The doors slammed open. Selina looked over at the door as it opened and laughed in relief. "Is everything okay?" What did I miss?" Casimir Dozier says that he ran over to his wife and kissed her hand while she just gave him a weak smile.

"You're just on time, sir, Selina. I need you to provide one last push, a huge shove." The healer speaks as he looks across at Selina. The young woman nodded as tears welled up in her eyes. She took a big breath and leant forward.

Even though it hurt and was terrifying, she continued pushing through it all and cried out again. The only way she could bring a new life into this world was to do this for her unborn child. When she heard a cry that wasn't hers, she was overcome with a sense of relief. The most breathtaking sight Selina had ever seen was shown to her when she gazed down.

At last, her long, painful ordeal was over, and she could finally hug her precious daughter forever; she sobbed as she rested her head against the pillow. "Are you alright? You did an amazing job, my love." As he tentatively kissed her wife's head, Casimir whispered the question. Looking at their daughter brought tears to his eyes as well.

"My sweetheart, I'm alright." Whispering softly, she turned to observe her daughter being brought to her. Letting her lay on her chest, she experienced a whirlwind of emotions as she cradled her newborn. "I'm doing alright."

"What is her name?" Gabrielle asked, looking at her daughter.

With a smile on her lips, Selina lowered the blanket a little to reveal her daughter's face. "Her name is Liona."

"Wow, I can't believe we now have a baby in the group." The only thing he could do while holding Liona was stare at her helplessly, Sirius Black says as he looked up at Selina.

"You're just irritated that you won't be the centre of attention anymore." Marlene McKinnon sat back in her chair and chuckled. After giving her the finger, Sirius returned his attention to Liona.

"Casimir, she resembles you perfectly." As she glanced over at him, Dorcas Meadows spoke.

"Someone has to be the one to give her good looks." Casimir let out a laugh as Selina nudged him.

"I, for one, am very excited to get my own. Being a mother has always been my greatest desire," Alice Fortescue adds as she looked over to Frank Longbottom.

"She informed me right away that she wanted a child and threatened to find someone else if I wasn't the right one." As Frank embraced Alice, who was slightly flushed, he said.

"What would they be called?" Just as Peter Pettigrew lifted his eyes from his book, he looked up and inquired.

"Emilia would be the name of a girl and a boy would be called..." Alice stopped. Uncertain about the boy's identity, she hadn't truly thought about it until now.

"Neville, his name would be Neville." Frank says this while grinning at his girlfriend, who simply returned the affectionate look.

"This baby talk is making me feel a lot of different emotions." Lily Evans replied, shaking her head to get rid of the sensation that was developing in her mind.

"All right, let's raise a glass." Everyone held up their glasses to Casimir and Selina. "To Liona Dozier, our newest member." They everyone cheered as James Potter spoke.

"We can't stay here any longer; we have to leave." Selina said, glancing at her husband. It was no longer safe to remain in their world. Voldemort was rising.

"We can't just leave Dumbledore at this point; he needs our assistance. Our friends are all in jeopardy, and we must battle to help everyone else In danger." As she turned to see Liona dozing off in their bed, Casimir remarked.

"I would prefer to choose our safety over dumbledore. Our safety has been compromised, and we must depart immediately." While arguing, she hurried over to get Liona, who she held close to her chest while she shook ever-so-slightly before returning to sleep.

While Casimir considered the loved ones they would be abandoning, Selina was correct: they must prioritise their own protection. They needed to defend themselves now that they had done everything they could. "I swear they won't be able to track us down at my parents' house."Speaking softly, he put his palm on Selina's cheek.

"I'm terrified." A tear fell from Selina's cheek as she hugged her daughter tightly, and she whispered.

"I know, so am I." As he said, he dipped his head down and brought their lips together.

As they planted a passionate kiss on one other's lips, . Their safety and their hopefulness relied on their love for each other and for their daughter.

OK, so here we are at the prologue, setting the stage for the drama to unfold. What I really wanted was some background on Liona's parents and how they fit into the plot. Due to their background with the marauders and membership in the Order of the Phoenix, we can expect to see more of them.
