Severus had not been trained to do an ultrasound spell and if they had to wait for the equipment to be brought Harry and George would have had to wait longer to find out the gender of the twins. Severus had been reluctant though to allow his son to go away to London for the test but he knew he could not stop him. Harry was of course an adult for one thing and he could not refuse to allow his son to do something any more. And his son also deserved the bet and that included being able to enjoy every step of this pregnancy and that included getting to see his babies for the first time and knowing if they needed to decorate the nursery in pink or blue. Harry had waited an extra two weeks in hopes they could have a healer come or the equipment but it seemed fate was not working on their side.
Lucius had tried to help with his contacts and when he failed he made sure not only aurors but his private security would be with them. Sirius and Tonks would be the only two he would see. The family was coming for the ultrasound including the Black, Malfoys, Weasleys and the Snapes. Harry was not to worry if they could help it and since two of the people he had invited to be there for him and his husband were aurors he would not question the fact his dad was not forcing him to have more.
Harry and George both had a feeling there were some hidden ones around but they did not mention it. They knew their father/father in law well enough. But they said nothing for their minds were on nothing but finding out what they were having. Harry was worried as Charlie and Steffi were coming but it was his only concern.
Iola was so happy as she at on the table with Harry before he was to have the test. "Daddy says I get to be Aunty Iola. That is so cool."
Harry reached over and kissed her. "That you do princess and Rory, and Damon and Max get to be. Just like those red heads over there."
Severus scooped his daughter off the table as the healer was about to start/ Though his dad whispered most of them heard that Iola would definitely be the best Aunty or relative, at least better then those red heads over there. That brought laughter even from the Weasleys. George reminded his father in law between Harry's red accents in his hair considering he had auburn as a baby and George; the babies had a very good chance of being more of those red heads. Severus groaned when he heard that but Harry knew that it was definitely good natured and his father just wanted his grandchildren to be happy and healthy.
The healer started the test and soon everyone's eyes were on the little magic screen. Three and a half months pregnant there was something to be seen now. Harry had already been close to tears and was crying as was his husband. There were few total dry eyes. His dad and Moony were as bad a Molly.
The healer confirmed both twins were growing strong and Harry finally asked. "Are we expecting boy or girls?"
The man took a few moments and smiled. "A healthy set of twin boys."
Hearing the laughter and seeing the shock the healer had to ask. George explained that not only was he obviously identical twins but his mother had identical twin brothers as well. Their twin were a third generation of boys in their family. Harry had secretly been hoping one would be a little girl. He had thought it would be cute to have one of ach. But he and George were over the moon to be having a pair of beautiful little boys.
Molly hugged both of them when Harry was dressed again. "You know you will have a handful, especially with George as a dad."
George smirked at his mother. "I happen to think my beloved husband can get into just as much thank you. But they do have Fred and two marauders as well."
This time the groan from his dad was more real. Harry quieted his dad with a reminder that he would be in the twins' life as well and Remus was pretty tame, and there was Lily in them as well. Severus kissed his son and assured him if he could live with some red headed grandsons he could live with if they were mini marauders. George had definitely managed to make something of himself as had the marauders. If Fred and George could be so successful from their jokes into their business, he knew the grandkids in what ever path that they took could do great things as well.
Draco hugged him. "I wish you guys had the twins last year thought. It would have been so cool if our three little boys went to school together."
Harry smiled. "Jut because they won't be in the same year doesn't mean they won't be so close. Look at us and the twins before I dated George. They'll be brothers."
Edgar would be just over a year old so a year ahead of the boy in time for school, when the twins were born, but Harry and Draco loved the image of the three boys being the best of friends. Draco and Harry had been the same age but that made no difference. Lucius and Severus shared a smile thinking of how they had become brothers and then their sons had and the thought of their grandsons continuing the pattern definitely lightened their hearts.
Narcissa looked at everyone. "Well how about we all head to the manor and have some lunch. I have had the house elves cooking for a celebration for us all."
Grant looked up though when they were about to leave. "Steffie? Where did she go?"

Stephanie had been waiting out in the sitting room with her brothers and a few of the others. There were too many people in the room. She was so excited to know what her Uncle Harry would be having. She had lots of Uncle but Uncle Harry had always been her favourite. He always took her flying and had bought her her cat. She thought he was going make such an amazing daddy. She had a feeling he was having two little boys. And Luna thought the same thing and Luna usually knew what he was talking about, she was very rarely wrong about such things. Steffie's daddy had said it was because he had a bit of the seer in her.
Steffie needed to go the bathroom but her daddies were in the room so she looked at one of the guards. "Can you take me to the bathroom?"
The man looked at her and smiled. "Sure thing, it is just down the hall here."
She walked with him down the hall hoping by the time they got back that they would have news. She was hoping her Uncle Harry would let her help choose names for the babies. She was after all niece to both Harry and George. She knew she was not an Aunty like Rory or Iola but he was still going to be the twins' cousin and she thought she could at least give them some suggestions on names. She had a few already in mind from reading the books her Papa always brought.
The guard pointed at the door. "I will wait out here for you. You need anything you just give a call."
Steffie nodded and pushed on the door. "I know. Besides you're a boy and boys aren't allowed in here."
The guard smiled at the comment and Steffie headed into the bathroom. She was just finishing when she was washing her hands and noticed someone else in the room. She turned and saw a man and before she could say he was in the wrong bathroom she realized it was the odd man from the book store. She had not noticed before but she realized he had taken off a charm. She backed way from him as Papa had told her to stay away from him for he was a danger.
She looked at the man. "Stay away from me, my Papa says you are bad. I am going to see my Papa."
Albus knelt down. "Your Papa is he? I will take you to see your Papa Stephanie, your real Papa."
