Well you've seen the family. Noe let's get on and bring in the baby! (fingers crossed) Let's hope Albus' luck holds.

Once agian Black is for Damien Black. Damien will be for Damien Dumbledore. ..............However it appears I'm going to have to rethink as I have two Damiens and two Albus!

Chapter 2: Child Number 8; Baby Number 7

Katherine is always right! This is a statement people find true quick enough and live by the rule once they do.

At two in the morning Katherine and Damien were woken by the urgent pounding on their front door. Katherine kissed his lips gently before jumping out of the bed. She threw on a pair of jeans and a light jacket over her pajama shorts and t-shirt before grabbing her bag and racing down stairs.

"Damien…Stewart?" she asked.

"Ma…mama sent us. She needs you desperately," Stewart gasped trying to catch his breathe as he and his brother ran all the way down the street.

"Let's go," Katherine nodded.

She handed Damien her bag and shut the door before she jumped off the porch and started running. The boys followed her lead.

Katherine's long legs took her to Number 114 quick as lightening; she tossed her hair up in a messy ponytail as she ran.

Honoria opened the door as Katherine ran up the steps and up the stairs bursting into the master bedroom to find Minerva screaming at the top of her lungs through a contraction.

"Drugs, I want drugs!" Minerva screeched as the sound of cracking bones was heard over her screaming.

Katherine watched in childlike fascination as Albus' legs buckled underneath him as he cringing under Minerva's vice like grip.

"Y-you're b-bag," Damien gasped as he and Stewart collapsed on the floor by the door.

"Thank you boys," Katherine nodded as she went into healer mode.

"All right Mina calm down now and let poor Albus' hand go," Katherine cooed as she injected an epidural into Minerva's spine. Minerva sighed thankfully and released Albus as the medicine took effect.

Albus sat on the floor cradling his hand to his chest.

"Let's see how far along we are," Katherine replied lifting up Minerva's night dress.

The twins closed their eyes.

"Oh dear 8 ½ centimeters already!? Minerva were you having back pains early?"

Minerva nodded that she had.

"Baby you should have told me," Katherine sighed as she bustled around getting everything ready and healing Albus' hand.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Come on mum push!" Damien and Stewart cheered as they stood behind their father.

Honoria sat in a chair to the side trying to drown out the noise.

Minerva's screams echoed through the house; but did not wake the others as silencing charms had been placed on the doors.

"8, 9, 10! Relax!" Katherine screamed.

Minerva collapsed against the pillows and Albus crying hysterically. "I'm so tired Albus!"

"I know Tabby but you're so close," Albus said kissing her head.

"Come on Mina my darling child. Give mama one more push," Katherine said.

Minerva nodded sitting up and pushed with all her might. Everyone seemed to scream with her.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9…..It's a boy!" Katherine exclaimed as she lifted up a rather large crying baby.

"A boy!" Albus grinned.

"A boy!" the twins grinned high fiving.

"A boy!?" Honoria exclaimed standing by her grandmother with her nose scrunched up.

"A boy!" Katherine and Minerva said softly in the same tone and in perfect harmony.

"Albus you want to cut the cord?" Katherine asked holding the medical scissors. Albus nodded and snipped the umbilical cord as the baby continued to cry.

"Shush, Shush. There, there sweet one," Katherine cooed as she walked out of the room.

Albus had the two elves; Kipper and Bitsy, clean up everything and change the bed sheets while he cleaned up Minerva ine the bathroom and put her in a clean white gown. When he exited the bathroom and laid Minerva back on the bed he found the three children were already sitting there.

"That was the most disgusting thing ever. I'm never going to have children," Honoria shuddered.

"Actually we found the whole experience quite educational," Damien grinned.

"We are now thinking of being healers," Stewart replied.

Albus laughed and kissed Minerva's head as he sat next to her.

"Here we are. A lovely little boy!" Katherine grinned.

She came back into the room with the baby cleaned and diapered wearing a cute little sleeping out fit and wrapped in a soft blue blanket. She placed the baby in Minerva's eager arms and sat at the end of the bed pulling Stewart into her lap and kissing his cheek.

"So what's the name this time?" She asked.

Over the years it had been established that the names of the Dumbledores were decided as thus; the first name is from someone that had influenced Minerva and the middle from someone who had influenced Albus.

Using this we have Honoria Kendra, Damien Apollo, Stewart Hermes, Athena May, Annette Tracy, and Fiona Nancy.

Harry had done the same for his children as well.

"Yes what's the name?" Damien asked.

"I think Brian," Minerva smiled.

"I pick Aberforth," Albus nodded.

"Brian Aberforth Dumbledore it is then. I'll bring the certificate by tomorrow. Now I think it's time all of you get to sleep," Katherine replied.

The teenagers sighed and kissed the adults good night as they filed out.

"You too Albus…Mina. I'm sure Damien and Brian's aunts will be over by tea or lunch," Katherine laughed closing her bag.

"Thank you for coming so fast," Albus nodded as he led her back to the door.

"Think nothing of it. Call me anytime," Katherine smiled as she kissed Albus cheek, "oh and he's clean. One for seven is pretty good odds Albus."

Albus nodded as she walked back into the night air.

"Oh and Albus," Katherine called as she stepped off the porch and began walking backwards.

"What?" Albus asked stepping onto the porch.

"You only have a platoon and they all love me!" she laughed and turned around running back home.

"It's only a matter of leverage!" Albus shouted after her before heading back inside chuckling.
