thank you for the alerts and reviews. I don't own any characters, just my imagination.

Its mine

His phone rang. He looked at it, frowning a little. He never gave his cell phone number out and this wasn't one he recognized. He picked it up, "Hello"

"Is this Neville Longbottom?" A woman's voice said.

"Yes."

"I'm sorry, I'm Ginny Weasley. I'm a friend of Luna Lovegood?"

This wasn't good.

"She's been in an accident."

Neville dropped the phone, his heart stopping. He scrambled around the floor, picking it back up, shouting in it "Hello? Hello?"

"It's okay, I'm here it's okay Neville, she's in the hospital…"

"Shit, is she all right?"

"I don't know, she was, she was with her husband Rolf? And apparently a car hit her or something, she…"

"Fuck, fuck, where is she?"

"It's okay, Neville, please, it's okay, she's at Central here in the city but…"

He hung up, grabbing his jacket. He ran out the lab, down the hallway, startling his colleagues, his employees, they had never seen him like this.

He ran out the building, dialing Harry. Pick up. Pick up. Pick up.

"Hello?"

"Harry, it's Neville, I have to leave town for a day or two, explain to Hannah when she gets back."

"What?"

"Harry, Luna's in the hospital, I'm getting on a plane as soon as I get to the airport."

"Neville, how can I explain that?"

"Say I'm at a research meeting I don't care. I'll call you when I get there."

He hung up, flagging down a cab, going to the airport.

He sat in the cab, worrying, not even thinking if her husband would be there, not even thinking if any of her friends would wonder who this crazy looking guy was, running into her hospital room. Neville didn't care, he needed to see her, make sure she was okay.

He ran up to the airport counter, the ticket agent concerned, security starting to move towards him. He must look crazy.

"I need, I need, Oh God…"

"Sir. Calm down sir, it's okay, just tell me what it is you need?"

The agent helped him, assigning him a back row seat in a flight leaving in an hour. He didn't bother buying a return ticket, not sure of what he was going to encounter when he saw Luna.

He went through security, no luggage, and ran down to the gate. They were boarding already, he was almost sobbing with relief.

He found his seat, breathing hard, almost hyperventilating. The woman to the right looked at him curiously. The guy on the left of him also stared at him because now Neville was leaning forward, placing his face in his hands, trying not to cry, trying not to worry without seeing her.

"You okay?"

Neville nodded without looking up. He felt a hand on his shoulder, he started to sob.

"It's okay, it's okay…"

"It's not, she's in the hospital…"

"Oh no, your wife?" the woman asked.

"Yes."

Neville didn't even think about what he was saying, he just knew that upon hearing the news that Luna was in the hospital, his heart had stopped. He didn't even give one thought to Hannah and that was something he was going to have to deal with when he returned.

"She'll be okay man." The guy on his left said and passed him a drink that he had just bought from the flight attendant.

"Thanks, thanks…"

The flight was too long in Neville's mind. He spent the entire time staring at his lap, staring at his hands, staring at the seat in front of him. When they landed, apparently the entire plane knew what he was going through since the guy next to him said something to the flight attendant. Everyone stayed seated as he bolted down the aisle, out the door first. The woman called out to him as he ran, saying she hoped that his wife would be all right. Neville ran out the door, ran down the flight ramp, ran to the cab stand and gave the hospital address that Ginny had sent to him.

He burst through the doors of the emergency room and looked wildly around. He wasn't sure what to do, he was one step away from screaming out her name, see if anyone responded to him then.

"Neville?"

He turned, saw a red-haired girl there, her face stark.

"The baby?" Ginny looked at him, surprised. "I mean, Luna?"

"She's down in ICU. Neville, her husband is upstairs with her, please, just go into the bathroom, clean yourself first. You don't look, umm, so good."

"What happened?"

"I'm not really sure Neville, I think it was a car accident. Rolf called me, said that they were in the hospital and Luna was unconscious. I knew that she would want you to know, because, well, because. The doctors are nervous because she's pregnant and there may be something wrong with the babies."

Neville nodded then stared at Ginny. "Babies?"

"Twins."

He leaned against the wall suddenly. Luna was having twins. His twins. He wanted to grab hold of her, wanted to make sure she was okay. Ginny was staring at him, horror on her face all of the sudden, as the truth of Luna's pregnancy came to her.

"Oh my God."

"No, no it's okay, it's okay. It's what Luna wants." He didn't say another word, knowing that what he had said was enough.

He let himself be led to a restroom, pushed in by Ginny. He stumbled over to the sink, splashing water on his face, wetting his hair and combing it with his fingers. He looked at himself in the mirror, he looked terrible. Haggard. Freaked out. Horrified.

His cell phone started ringing and he fished it out of his pocket, looking at the name. Harry.

"Harry."

"Neville, I explained to Hannah that one of your research groups was having an emergency breakthrough and you had to rush out to be there for the final something. I have no idea what I'm talking about…"

"It's fine Harry, she doesn't know, she doesn't really care…"

"Neville?"

"Harry, talk to this girl Ginny, she's Luna's friend. I have to go to her." Neville walked out of the restroom and handed his phone to Ginny as she sent him to the elevator, mouthing the word floor six. The doors closed and he rode up slowly.

The doors opened and Neville stepped out to a nursing station, manned by two nurses.

"Luna Lovegood, please, please."

"Sir, you can't see her, she's still unconscious."

"Please, please, I need…" He started to cry. The nurse looked at him, didn't say a word. She stepped out from behind the desk and took his arm. Leading him over to the side, away from the other staff and people.

"It's okay, she'll be fine. She's not conscious though, not yet but soon the doctors say, soon. You need to let her rest."

"Let me see her, let me see her, please."

The nurse shook her head and pointed to the room she was in, the door closed. Neville strode over, stared at her through the window.

"Baby…" he whispered. Luna was so small, so pale, her hair spread all of the pillow. He wanted to go in, wanted to touch her, make sure that she was still alive. He remembered the last time they saw each, about two months ago. They were sitting in the hotel room, Neville was taking off Luna's skirt after having removed his jacket and shirt, pants already undone, kissing her thighs. Luna gently took his hands, shook her head and all of the sudden, tears started in the corners of her eyes and fell down her cheeks. Neville was upset, sat down beside her on the bed.

"Luna, what's wrong?"

"Neville, I'm pregnant."

He looked into her face, searching. Luna couldn't close her eyes, holding his gaze. She expected him to be upset but he wasn't. He knew.

"It's mine isn't it." Neville didn't ask as a question. He just made a statement.

Luna took a deep breath, shuddering a little.

"Yes." She started to tear up again.

"Oh Luna, don't cry."

She couldn't help it, she started to, not because she was unhappy but because the look in Neville's face was so tender, so loving that she wanted more than anything to be with him.

He took her face in his hands, kissed her softly, gently. Held her tight against him. His baby Luna. Having his baby.

"I don't want Rolf to know Neville. I don't."

"Luna…"

"No Neville, and you can't say anything to Hannah either. I can't do this anymore, I'm staying with Rolf and you're staying with Hannah."

He held her tight, his hand on her abdomen then he guided her to the bed. He knelt by her feet, taking off her boots, his shoes.

"Hannah is so happy with you, she loves you so much…"

Neville slipped off her sweater, skirt, lifted her up in his arms, placed her gently on the pillows.

"I can't do this Neville, I can't…"

Neville wrapped his arms around her, kissing her forehead. Kissed her eyebrows, her cheeks. Her mouth. He held her in his lap, half-clothed, rocking her like she was a child.

Luna didn't know what she was doing. She was pregnant with Neville's baby, married to a man she loved despite what she was doing, being kissed by a man who also loved his wife.

"Neville, what are we doing?" she whispered quietly.

"Shh, it's okay. I love you, I just want to be in your life."

"I don't know how we got here."

"Shhh, whatever you want. But don't leave me, don't leave me..."

Neville opened her shirt, nuzzling her breasts. Whispering that he loved her. Luna moved to straddle him, kissing him, feeling the same desire build up as he entered her. Luna held his shoulders, arching her back, coming hard, whimpering.

They had fallen asleep not long afterwards, Neville holding her, his hand on her abdomen.

He remembered all of this as he stared at her, then turned as he heard someone come up beside him.

There was a tall slender blonde haired man there. Luna's husband Rolf he assumed.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Neville Longbottom, I'm a friend of Luna's. Ginny called me when she heard what happened."

"Oh, well, there was a small accident I'm afraid."

Small accident? Neville was angry all of the sudden. How could this guy, Luna's husband not sound more concerned? His wife, his pregnant wife, had an accident and he made it seem like he dropped a sock behind the dryer.

"Yes, well what happened?"

"I was driving to a meeting, Luna was in the passenger seat and someone hit us on her side. She fainted, but the doctors say it is probably just her reaction. The accident wasn't too bad."

"She's pregnant right?"

Rolf looked at him with surprise, Neville angry at himself that he had actually said something out loud, but not sure if he cared right now.

"Yes, she told you?"

"Ginny told me, she said the baby was okay."

"Yes, well, the doctor said everything is fine but he wanted to keep her here for observation overnight just in case. Luna fainted, and she hit her head pretty hard against the window so… She's pretty early in the pregnancy, about four months, so hopefully everything will be all right."

Neville stared at Rolf who looked at him complacently. He wanted to strike him, wanted to knock him down. Asshole.

"Mr. Scamander?"

Rolf turned to the doctor and with a pointed look at Neville, walked down the hallway with him. Neville ran his hand through his hair and stumbled to a chair. He looked up to see the girl Ginny coming down towards him.

"Here's your phone. I spoke with your friend Harry he wants you to call him back when you have a chance. He's worried for you."

"Thanks . Ginny right? Thanks."

"You're welcome. Was that the doctor talking to Rolf?"

"Yeah. What an asshole."

"Who?"

"Luna's husband. He didn't even sound worried for her."

"Neville. He is worried for her, that's just his way, he's a calm kind of guy."

Neville shook his head. Ginny looked at him curiously. She wasn't sure what Luna saw in this man. He was tall, attractive in an average kind of way. A little messy but that was probably because he just spent the last few hours rushing here. But then he glanced up at her and she was struck by the look in his eyes. Naked. Emotional. If this was the look he gave to her, a virtual stranger, then what he shows to Luna must be a thousand times more powerful. Because he clearly loved her.

Rolf left the doctor and came down towards them.

"They think that the babies are okay, they're just waiting for Luna to regain consciousness. Ginny, I have to head back to the house, contact my family about Luna. Can you stay here with her?"

"Of course Rolf. Don't worry. She'll be all right I know it."

Rolf nodded his head, than held his hand out to Neville who took it, ashamed of his behavior beforehand.

Rolf walked away and Ginny looked through the window at Luna.

"She's special."

Ginny started at the whispered words beside her.

"Can I ask why?"

"Why she's special?"

"No, why you and she are doing what you are doing."

"Because we love each other. That's the only reason. Because I'd die without her."

Ginny heard the words, knew that Neville meant them.

"You met once in a lobby bar a couple of years ago?"

"In front of an elevator. I ran into her. I bought her a drink and kissed her. I couldn't leave her after that."

"Even though you were getting married."

"Even though I was getting married."

"Even though she was getting married."

"Even though she was getting married. Ginny…"Neville turned to face her. "I'm not defending what I'm doing. I know that it's wrong. I only know that being with Luna makes me happy, makes her happy. That's all I can ask for in this life."

"You're hurting your wife and her husband."

"Not if they don't know about us. And that's what Luna wants Ginny. What she wants."

Ginny shook her head, went into the room, Neville following her. They stood over Luna and watched her for hours, waiting for her to stir. Neville longed to kiss her, touch her but knew that he couldn't. He settled for taking her hand in his gently, caressing her palm with his thumb.

"I'd do anything for you."

Ginny could hear him talking to Luna, could hear him whispering the words of love she imagined he said to her all the time. And she was a little jealous. That Luna had her husband and Neville. Both who loved her in their own way, both who only wanted the best for her. She sighed a little, then started to smile because Luna opened her eyes.

"Luna we were so worried."

"Ginny, is it okay? Are the babies okay?"

"Yes Luna, Rolf left to tell his family. He'll be back soon. And, I called Neville."

Luna turned to look at Neville. He looked so woebegone, she felt terrible.

"I'm sorry to worry you Neville, did you fly out here?"

"Yes, it's okay, I would do anything for you."

"Was it difficult to explain to Hannah?"

"No, she's out of town this weekend. I had to explain to a friend of mine though but I think he already knew about us. He and your friend Ginny spoke."

"Oh…" Luna closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm not upset Neville, I'm kind of glad that someone knows, can listen to you. Like Ginny does for me."

Ginny smiled through sudden tears. Luna trusted her and she was going to keep her trust, no matter what. She was closer to Luna then her own family, even her sister-in-law Hermione.

She left the two of them, hearing Luna whisper to Neville "I love you." Watching Neville kiss her on the forehead, on her mouth. Watching for Rolf.
