James and Marni sat up in their bed, reading or watching television. James had his hand on Marni's tummy and waited to feel the baby kick. He smiled every time he felt a slight nudge under her skin. She was starting to glow, and he himself was excited. She looked up from her book and looked at her husband, there was a cringe, and he looked up and saw this.

"Marni, are you alright?" He asked her, face full of worry. She nodded and climbed off of the bed.

"Just nips of pain, I'm sure that I'll be okay." She said turning her back away from the bed, but not before James had seen red on the sheets, and then on the bottoms of her pajama bottoms.

"Mar, you're bleeding!" He said worriedly, before she dropped to her knees, tears falling out of her eyes, as she held herself, and cringed in pain. He didn't wait to react, he picked her up, regardless of his shirtless ensemble and flooed her to St. Mungo's.

He called his mother and his father, her father, and Lily and Albus, and Tom. They all, minus James, sat in the waiting room, waiting to hear news of what was going on. The healers finally pushed James out of the room, and shut the door.

He sat down next to his parents, angry, and worried tears finding ways to escape. Ginny put her arm around her son, and Harry did the same on the other side.

"James, it'll be alright..." He said quietly, trying to console his son. Cedric sat with his head in his hands, Tom sat with Lily's arm around him, trying to adapt to the fact that something was wrong.

"You don't know that!" James said angrily looking at his father. Everyone looked up. "You've never had to experience this!" This sparked Harry.

"James, you don't know what you're talking about! Of course I had to face this! Twice, and only one of those times, did we lose the baby!" Harry hissed at his son. James growled at his father.

"So, you didn't want to tell Lily, or Al, or me about that one time? You didn't think we might have to go through this?" James growled, Ginny pulled him back down and rubbed his arm.

"James, it was around the time Vanessa died...That's why we didn't tell you." Ginny said quietly. "Calm down, both of you. There is one of our family members in that room, and she could be dying. So, SHUT IT!" She hissed loudly, silencing everyone. A healer, blood staining his robes, left the room, and looked for James, and spotting him called him over.

"What's going on? Is everything okay with my wife and baby?" He asked the healer worriedly. The healer looked at him in slight sadness.

"Your wife's body is trying to reject the fetuses, we're trying to stop it now before she miscarries both." Everyone heard this, and looked at each other.

"Both?" Ginny looked at the healer and asked him. He nodded.

"If she does, then there is a great risk that she could hemorrhage because it's twins, and we could lose her, and fairly quick too. That's why we're giving her potions, to try and stop this." The healer said quietly.

"Whoa, both?" Tom asked the man. Everyone rolled their eyes, and nodded.

"Yes, she's pregnant with twins...She's around four months, yes?" He turned to James who nodded.

James, took a deep breath and held his wand to the healer's throat. "You help her, and you stop those babies from coming now, do you understand?" The man started to sweat and panic, Harry ran over to pull his son away from the man.

"How did you manage to keep your wand? All husbands that have wives in here must relinquish them before they come in!" The healer exclaimed. Everyone looked at James.

"I had a feeling." He said darkly. The healer sighed as James sat back down, and he looked towards the room.

"We're working over her, as hard as we can...if it happens...We'll call you all in." He remarked going back into the room. Ginny held her son in her arms, and he sobbed into her shoulder.

"Mum, I can't lose her...I just can't." He cried, sounding helpless. Ginny nodded and stroked his hair back, and whispered soothing words to him.

"Everything's going to be alright James..." Lily said coming over to hug her older brother. The healer came back out.

"She's weak, but she and the babies are still alive. No hemorrhage, and we're going to watch her overnight. You, may go and see her. Just remember that any sudden shock could kill her and the children." The healer said letting James walk in.

He found his wife, extremely pale, with some kind of breath device in her nose. Her eyes were closed, and she was barely breathing. He sat next to her and kissed her icy hand.

Everyone slowly found their way in, and sighed in slight relief.

"I know that this is probably not a good time, but would you two like to know the sexes of your babies?" The healer asked James, and Marni. James looked to his wife, who nodded weakly, and nodded as well.

"Well then, it seems like you two will be parents of a baby boy and a baby girl." He said with a faint smile.

A few months later, Molly and Arthur decided to get everyone back to the Burrow for dinner, thinking it would be a good idea, since Harry and James had been treating each other with an icy difference. It was upsetting Ginny and Marni, and put a strain on two marriages. Both wives tried to convince their stubborn husband to apologize to one another, this caused many arguments, and often, Marni and Ginny would win, but without any change in their husband's agenda.

"Ginny!" Molly said excitedly when they arrived at the Burrow that night. She hugged her daughter and sighed. "Harry does know that James is coming tonight?" She asked her only daughter.

Ginny nodded "He wants to apologize to him for yelling at him when he was upset...of course, I also had to pressure him into doing so." Harry heard the last part and nodded.

"Slinky little minx..." He muttered to himself. When others started to arrive, they were all comfortable, and behaving like a family.

"Dad, I'm sorry for yelling at you..." James was apologizing to his father, as Hugo and Rose were putting their hands on Marni's tummy, feeling the babies kick, and Ginny smiled at the scene.

"It's fine son...I'm sorry I was such a git when you were going through that..." He said hugging his son, which was interrupted by Lily bursting through the kitchen and running straight into Harry's arms sobbing.

"Tom and I broke up! He left me for another girl!" She said sobbing.

"Only because you hit me! Lily, I don't want to be in an abusive relationship." Tom said from the doorway. Everyone looked up in surprise at this new development. "Your daughter can be a maniac! She thought I was cheating on her, and pushed me down stairs!" He said angrily.

Ginny looked at her daughter in surprise. "Lily Luna Potter! How could you do that?"

"I thought he was cheating on me..." She muttered and everyone sighed.
