Chapter 11: Frank Alexander Longbottom

Hannah's POV

Four months have passed since Alice's birthday. We had had appointments with the healers, but we decided to let the gender be a surprise, so right now I was on the couch, a name book in hand while Neville sat with Alice on the floor playing with building blocks.

"What names do you like if it's a boy?", I ask Neville.

He looks up and raises an eyebrow.

"I don't know, let's not make it something fancy like Albert or Prinston", he says.

I can't help but laugh at his example, Alice looks up at me and tilts her head.

"Prinston? Why on earth would I want to name my kid Prinston?", I laugh.

He smiles at me and shrugs, making me shake my head.

"So Prinston's out, what should it be?"

"Well how about you? what do you like?", he asks.

I sigh.

"I want it to mean something, like Alice, and I want it to sound nice, like it would suit a little kid but also still sound good when he grows up", I tell him.

Alice suddenly stands up and runs to me. She stands in front and looks up at me then at Neville.

"Sully!", she says, pointing at the baby bump.

"Sully? You want your little brother or sister to be named Sully?", I ask her, a smile on my lips.

She nods enthusiastically.

"Ally", she says, pointing to herself, "Sully", she then says pointing again at me.

"Why Sully?", Neville asks her amused. She runs to the other side of the room taking her stuffed blue monster with purple spots.

A look of realization crosses his face.

"Oh, like the film then", he catches on and laughs.

"Well, I guess we'll just think later then", I tell him.

He nods.

"How about a girl name?", he asks.

I think for a second and shrug, not really knowing.

"How about like your mum?", he asks.

I scrunch up my face, making him laugh.

"Don't get me wrong I loved my mum but Lamiracle is not gonna work, I mean even my mum didn't like her name", I tell him.

"Then how about Phoebe, I've always liked that name", Neville says.

I think about it for a second and nod.

"Phoebe Longbottom, alright I like it", I smile at him making him grin back.

"So if it's a girl Phoebe and if it's a boy you don't know"

I nod at Harry.

We were sitting in the Potters living room along with Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Rolf and Luna.

"Well Alice does have a name, and she won't budge on not calling him or her that", Neville says, looking over at Alice who was playing with James, Rose and Al on the floor.

"What is it?", Ron asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Ask her", Neville chuckles.

"Hey Ally, what's the baby's name?", Ginny asks softly.

Alice splits a grin and exclaims.

"Sully!"

The adults chuckles at her enthusiasm.

"Well then Sully it is", Ron laughs, I sigh and shake my head amused.

"Well then why not Frank, like your dad Neville", Luna suggested in her usual dreamy tone.

"Yeah, I mean it's what you want isn't it, it means something, you can call him Frankie, or Frank, or something else right, suits all ages?", Hermione said nodding her head.

I look at Neville and he smiles.

"Up to you", he says.

I nod, grinning.

"Frank it is then!", Rolf says, putting an arm around Luna happily.

I can't help but grin as I look at Neville, who winks at me happily.

About two weeks later I wake up in the middle of the night feeling sharp pains in my lower abdomen.

"Neville! NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM IT'S TIME! Get up!", I shake him awake, cursing his heavy sleep.

"Wha'? Time? Time for… Oh Merlin! It's time!", he exclaims, falling off the bed in his hurry to get up.

As he stands up and tells me to calm down I feel a strong sense of déjà vu.

He changes his pajamas fast and stumbles out of the restroom.

"Ok let's go!", he helps me stand up and leads me to the door. We start to make our way downstairs and he tries to make me go out the door but I stop.

"Are you forgetting something?", I ask him, feeling a lot calmer than when Alice was born.

"Right! The bag!", he goes to the kitchen to get the bag and then runs to me again.

"I meant someONE", I raise an eyebrow at him.

"You're here, and so am I, let's go!"

"How about your daughter Neville?", I tell him exasperatedly.

He gasps before running up the stairs as fast as possible and the back down with a sleepy Alice in his arms.

He runs out the door, graving the bag in the process.

I shake my head and count to three knowing he'll realize I'm not with him.

3…2…1…

"Hannah! C'mon!"

"I feel like we should disapparate Neville", I tell him. He nods and takes my arm before we leave to St. Mungos. I can't help but roll my eyes playfully at him, he may be an adult but he's still the Neville I fell in love with all those years ago.

The whole labor process was the same as last time, painful and extremely tiering.

That is until a cry filled the whole room, echoing in my ears, as I plop my head back down onto the pillow.

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom, you have a beautiful little boy", Healer Smith says, as she walks over to me, a little blue bundle in her arms.

She places him on my chest and I cent help but feel my heart swell, just as it had done with Alice.

"You did it Han", Neville smiles softly down at me, before he leans down and places a soft kiss on my lips.

The healer leaves minutes later, and before we know it we hear a small knock on the door.

Susan peaks her head into the room and smiles.

"Sorry to interrupt but there's someone who has eagerly been jumping off the walls since she woke up", she chuckles.

"I'll get her", Neville laughs, planting a kiss on my temple before walking out.

"How are you feeling Han?", Susan asks, closing the door behind her and walking over to me.

"Brilliant", I respond, laughing slightly.

"Your hair might say otherwise", she laughs, making me laugh sarcastically before I can't help but laugh for real, feeling like I did when we were in our Hogwarts dorm.

"He's precious", she smiles, looking down at the baby in my arms.

"Thank you", I reply, just as Ernie and Neville with Alice in his arms walk in.

Susan walks back to where Ernie stood and he snaked his arm around her waist.

"Alice, meet your little brother, Frankie", Neville speaks softly as he puts Alice on the bed next to me.

She runs a little finger over his tuffs of delicate blonde hair, and he takes it, gripping it with his whole little fist.

A soft smile appears on her face as she leans down and touches his forehead with her lips.

"Hi Sully"
