"LUCIUS MALFOY, IN THE NAME OF MERLIN-AAAAAHHH"
Lucius winced again as Narcissa squeezed the life out of his poor hand. She'd been in labour for about four hours.
"Cissy, shh, it's okay, Cissy…"
"YOU SHUT UP RIGHT NOW LUCIUS MALFOY! YOU'RE NOT THE ONE SQUEEZING TWO VERY LARGE TINY HUMANS OUT OF YOUR-"

"This is lovely, Mrs Weasley, thank you." Harry said politely as he finished his second piece of shepard's pie.
"Any more, Harry dear? What about you, Draco, another potato, dear?'
"No thank you Mrs Weasley." Draco said. "I'm so full!"
"It was very yummy." Harry said. His brother nodded in agreement.
"Mum, what's for dessert?" Ron asked with his mouth full.
"Ron! Manners." Mrs Weasley reprimanded him. "Dessert is chocolate cake."
"Yummy!" Ginny giggled.
Mr Weasley smiled at his flame-headed daughter.
"Hey kids, what do you say we have a chess tournament after dessert?"
"Yeah!" Yelled Ron and Ginny.
"Nah." George said.
"We're gonna go to our room, right Gred?"
"Right, Forge."
Percy sighed loudly. "No dessert for me, thank you, Mother. I need to go-"
"What? Study?" Fred jeered.
Percy rolled his eyes. "It's a far better use of my time than blowing stuff up or setting your sister's doll on fire."
Draco snorted into his plate and Harry did his best to conceal his giggles.
Mrs Weasley glared at Fred, George and Percy and said "Okay, Perce. Just stop teasing your brothers. And Fred, George, same goes for you."

"Do you-ow-do you have any idea on when they'll be born?" Lucius pleaded the midwife.
"I'd say about an hour or thereabouts, it's quite hard to tell." She said.
Narcissa swore. "Never… again." She said through gritted teeth.
0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Okay, bedtime, Harry, Draco, Ron and Ginny."
They all simultaneously pouted, Harry and Draco having settled down.
"But mum! We're older than Ginny! We should stay up later!" Ron whined, the other two nodding in agreement.
"No. Bed." Mrs Weasley insisted. The boys all gave her pleading looks while Ginny yawned, not even complaining. Mrs Weasley sighed. "…Fine. Ten minutes. I'll tuck Ginny in and when I come back it's bedtime, no excuses or complaints."
The three of them nodded in agreement.
"C'mon, we have time for another game of chess!"
Mr Weasley came into the room after putting all the dishes away. "What's this I hear about more chess?"
0o0o0o0o0o0o
True to her word, Mrs Weasley came back ten minutes later. "Alright boys, it's time for bed. Arthur, Ginny wants you to go kiss her goodnight."
"Right-o, Molly, darling." He kissed her on the cheek as he headed upstairs.
"Okay, off you go! Get into your jammies, I'll tuck you in in five minutes. And remember, just because it's a sleepover does not mean you can stay up all night talking. There's still school tomorrow, don't forget."
They all nodded.

Mrs Weasley went to check on them five minutes later, and chuckled softly to find Harry and Ron already snoring. Draco, however, was still awake.
"You alright, dear?"
He sniffled. "Is Mum going to be okay?"
"Of course she is, sweetie."
"How do you know?" Draco asked softly.
Mrs Weasley resisted the temptation to laugh. She'd given birth seven times, and all her children had turned out fine. No problems except for general insanity (Gred and Forge) but apart from that, they were normal.
But she knew that every child has different fears and so she gave Draco a hug.
"Listen, dear, your father promised me that he would send an owl when the babies are born, and you can visit them when the midwife says it's okay."
"Will you come and wake me and Harry up when the owl is here? Please?"
"Of course, sweetheart."
"Thank you. Goodnight, Mrs Weasley." He whispered drowsily.
"Goodnight, Draco." She gave him a hug and tucked the covers around him.

"The boys settled down alright, then?" Artur asked when she came downstairs. He handed her a steaming mug of tea.
She accepted it gratefully. "Yes, I think so. Draco was a little worried about his mum, sweet darling, but I think he's okay now."
Arthur nodded. "I can't believe how different Lucius and Narcissa are upon adopting Harry."
Molly nodded. "I know!" They had become quite good friends when their kids became friends in school.
"Honestly, I was surprised when Rita Skeeter was yapping about it at work, you know, that Harry had been left with them. Didn't believe her at first, but Ludo Bagman told us it was true."
Molly nodded. "Goodness, Ronnie was only a bub then! Just two! And Ginny wasn't even born. Wow, it seems so long ago and like yesterday at the same time."
Arthur grinned. "I know. Still can't believe Bill's a teenager now."
0o0o0o0o0o0o
A loud wailing filled the hospital room, and Narcissa smiled as she held her newborn to her chest.
"He's beautiful." Narcissa breathed. The mediwitch carried their daughter to Lucius, who had been born ten minutes after her brother. Her loud yells led them to think that she was saying "Just because I'm younger doesn't mean I'm quieter!"
Lucius blinked back tears of joy as he gazed down at the newborn in his arms. She had bright blue eyes and a slight fuzz of blonde hair on her head.
To their surprise, their son had bright green eyes like Lily. He had the blonde hair, though.

Molly and Arthur were still sitting at the kitchen table laughing over a plate of biscuits, remembering their school days.
"You remember old Professor Binns?" Arthur asked.
"How could I forget? Actually, it'd be quite easy to… but not after you accidentally set your textbook on fire that one time, remember?"
"Haha, I do! And he just said 'Mr Wiggins, put that fire out.' and continued his droning."
They both laughed. They were chatting about everything when the scratching at the window started.
"Arthur-it's their owl!"

Dear Molly and Arthur,
Thanks again for having the boys.
The twins have arrived, healthy and happy.
Leo Orion Malfoy, born 10:04 pm, and Celeste Lily Malfoy, born 10:14 pm.
If you could have the boys for another night we would greatly appreciate it, the midwife needs to run tests on the twins and Narcissa and we're not sure how long that'll take.
Thank you again, and we'll owl you when we have any further details.
Sincerely,
Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy
Molly clapped her hands. "Oh, how wonderful!"
Arthur smiled. "I suppose we should owl them back."
Molly accioed parchment and a quill and scrawled a hasty reply.
Dearest Lucius and Narcissa,
How wonderful!
We can have the boys for as long as you need us to. Do you need us to send anything or collect something?
Congratulations o the birth of the twins, Narcissa, I'm sure you did a wonderful job.
Lucius, we hope your hand doesn't hurt too much.
Yours truly,
Arthur and Molly Weasley
