Twins
"Draco, darling, I have some exciting news."
"What is it Astoria?" he answered while helping six year old Scorpius set the table.
"I'm going to have a baby. Well two actually, they're going to be twins."
"What? When did you find out?"
"Mommy, does this mean I'm gonna have a brother or sister?" Scorpius asked looking hopeful.
"Yes Scorpius. You will have two siblings And Draco don't worry."
"I'm not worried. But do you remember how long it took us to come up with a name for Scorpius?"
I did remember…
Flashback: "John Charles?" "Too Muggle. Orion Zeus?" "No. Harry Ph" "Anything but Harry." "Fine, Scorpio?" "Scorpius Hyperion?" "First name good, middle name Zeus?" "I like it. Scorpius Zeus Malfoy.":End Flashback
"We'll start coming up with names now then."
"Fine."
"Daddy, can I help come up with names?"
"Of course you can, Scor." I said.
A few days later in the living room…
"Any ideas if they are both boys?" I asked my husband and son.
"How about Pablo and Pierre?" Scorpius asked looking hopeful.
"Scor, we are not Spanish or French. Why would we name our children those names?" Draco said rolling his eyes.
"I don't know. They sounded funny together." Scorpius replied somewhere between a smirk and a smile.
"I got it." Draco said, "Luke Perseus and Dominic Dionysus."
"I like the first one, buy I do not want my child named after the god of wine. How about Castor Steven and Pollux Grant?" I said.
"Those will work I guess." Draco said. "What about girls' names now?"
"I like Jessica and Jennifer." Scorpius said quickly.
"Those are pretty why not use them as the middle names." I said, "I like Aphrodite Jennifer and Persephone Jessica."
"Not bad, but they don't really flow that well." Draco said, "What about Violet Jessica and Daisy Jennifer Malfoy. Has a good ring to it."
"Alright. So if they are boys, they will be Castor Steven and Pollux Grant. And if they're girls, they'll be Violet Jessica and Daisy Jennifer. Finally we're done."
I had just returned from my doctor's appointment. I had found out the gender of the babies. Draco was not going to be happy.
"What? You're having a boy and a girl? But we spent all that time coming up with same gender names that worked together. Now what are we going to do?" Draco said looking as if he were about to start crying.
"Calm down Draco. We'll think of names."
Later that night we were sitting on the floor of the living room coming up with names again.
"Alexander Daniel and Alexandra Danielle." Draco said.
"Draco! I do not want my children having the same name just for a different gender. How about Luke Perseus and Lola Persephone?"
"No that doesn't work. Jacob and Jillian?"
"No. Why is this so hard?"
"Hey Mom. Who are Apollo and Artemis?" Scorpius asked from the sofa.
"They are the twin gods. They represent night and day."
"I've got it. Our kids' names will be Artemis and Apollo. Thanks Scor." Draco said smiling.
"Uh no problem Dad."
Artemis Aphrodite and Apollo Ares Malfoy were born on a sunny March morning. They both had light blonde hair and beautiful hazel eyes. They were the most beautiful children in the world. I couldn't wait for them to start running around the house, talking, and getting into trouble.
