Summary: James Potter is expelled from Hogwarts for knowingly placing another student life in danger. His parents disown him, leaving him destitute and on his own, a chance encounter with a handsome stranger leaves James with more than he ever bargained for.

This chapter is solely for pregnancy talk, where I will explain the nature and the length of his gestation.

Certain Animals have a shorter gestation period, so I'm putting that information in regards to magical creatures and demonic pregnancies. Seeing as that James as well as some males are able to carry and birth younglings their gestation period is shorter so as to not put too much pressure on their body. And in some cases the offspring's develop much faster.

Gestation Period: One-Hundred and Twenty days

The length of his pregnancy is only four months; the fetuses develop at a much quicker pace than ordinary fetus do. So his first trimester is within that two months (1-4 months), second trimester is on the third month (5-6 months) and the last trimester is in third month (7-9 months).

During the first week of the pregances, symptoms and appearance begin to change. The chest area becomes sore and grows heavy in preparation. James first week of pregnancies resembles that of a four or five week gestation; breast changes, nausea, heightened sense of smell, frequent urination, or mood swings.

Multiple Pregnancies

Because he is carrying twins the pregnancies will be more stressful, and he will start to experience symptoms earlier into the pregnancy and extreme, to the point of discomfiture. Because multiple pregnancies are more high-risked to premature labor and birth serious health concerns have popped up, thankfully though modern technology (magic) has made it easier and less harmful for carrier and children. In James, case though demonic pregnancies take a harder toll on the body and magic, in serious cases both mother and child has died.

In addition, multiple pregnancies are a big no-no; another issue is the appearance of the said offspring. In most case, they take after their sire in appearances, appearing grotesque or badly formed. Sparda has already made it clear to James that if the baby (they don't know that he's carrying twins) is deformed in anyway, physically, mentally, etc that he will kill the child and they will try again. Towards the third gestation, James begins to experience pain and it is suggested that he has a c-section to better guarantee his and the child safety.

Health concerns are the following:

Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) - Is a condition in which the blood vessels within the Placenta become crossed, resulting in unequal blood flow between the babies. So basically, one baby so duty is that of a donor with the second receiving. Although its not a condition that is harmful to the mother it is extremely dangerous for the babies, and a special surgery is need done with the use of lasers to correct it.

Monoamnionic Monochorionic (Mo-Mo) Twins- Is a condition that affects a small percentage of twins. It occurs when twins are enclosed within a single amniotic sac, and as the pregnancy progresses their umbilical cord become entangled cutting off the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the developing fetuses. The only thing that can be done is to remove both fetuses from the mother. The mothers are usually hospitalized and carefully monitored.

Gestational Diabetes – Carriers of multiples are twice as likely to experience gestation diabetes during their pregnancies. Because there is a heavier increase of hormones produced by multiple pregnancies interferes with the body abilities to process insulin. This can be controlled with a diet, but in most cases, insulin must be administered. A good thing to add is that this condition holds no risks towards the babies.

Placenta Problems- Mothers of multiples are at a greater risk for complications such as; placenta previa and placenta abruption. Due to problems, affecting placenta, dangerous complications for the mother including: hemorrhaging during pregnancy and/or after delivery, therefore, mothers must be carefully monitored so that doctors are able to detect the problems before they pose a severe risk.

Heart Problems - A recent study done by the Canadian researchers has found that women carrying two or more fetuses are thirteen times more likely to experience a heart attack during pregnancy. Increase of physiological stress (each fetus raises the cardiac output) is attributed to the condition. So far doctors have not be able to find a cure so to speak for the conditions, so mothers are advised to restrict their activities, consult their physicians regularly and stay on bed-rest for the duration of their pregnancy.

Preeclampsia and PIH – High blood pressure has become a constant problem for many mother sor multiples. PIH, aka Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension is diagnosed when a women's blood pressure measures higher than 140 over 90. During pregnancy, it is advised that mothers check their pressure regularly during pregnancy. Treatment options include restricted activity, bed rest, and occasionally medications. Severe cases may require early delivery of the babies.

Elevated blood pressure is one component of a condition called preeclampsia. Preeclampsia differs from PIH when it is accompanied by proteinuria (protein in the urine).

Preeclampsia affects one in three moms of multiples during their pregnancy. In some cases, it is treated with bed-rest or medications, but should always be closely monitored because of the potential for serious complications like kidney failure, seizures or stroke. The condition is directly tied to pregnancy; if the babies are delivered, the preeclampsia goes away, usually without any lingering effects.
