A few weeks later Hermione found herself in one of the extra rooms with an impatient Ginny tapping her foot. The room looked like a very simple magical medical office with a table in it as well as a stethoscope hanging on the wall. Off to one side was a bookshelf filled with medical books. Hermione frowned at the table, "How come I have to get up on the table?"

Ginny smiled, "As I have said before if you aren't laying still the magic to check on the health of the baby doesn't work right."

Hermione grumbled, "What about Willow and Faith don't they need check ups as well?"

Ginny grinned, "Willow is scheduled for next and I already checked Dawn and Faith, now stop being silly and get out of your clothes and get up on the table."

Hermione sighed before dropping her robe and climbing up on the table, "You know there is such a thing as medical malpractice."

Ginny shrugged, "Nah that's a Muggle thing, besides the fewer clothes you have on the easier the spell is to get right."

Hermione frowned as she lay down on the table, "I think you just like seeing me without my clothes."

Ginny grinned, "Well I'm sure that is part of it, but really I haven't had that much practice with this spell. I'm hoping to take the images then send them to one of the magical doctors to look over. I'm doing the best I can but we are going to want someone that actually knows what they are doing when the time comes for you ladies to deliver the munchkins. Please can you just lay still?"

Hermione sighed, "Sorry Ginny I'm just feeling rather large and it's getting harder to move around. What about getting Grim or Colora back here?"

"Well they probably have a better idea than I do with how things are supposed to go for pregnancy. I'll talk to Dawn about seeing if they are too busy to help. Let's try listening for heartbeats again." Ginny took the stethoscope off the wall. Ginny placed the earpiece in her ears before placing the cold metal part on Hermione's chest.

Hermione batted the cold metal away, "Hey, that's cold. You are supposed to warm it up first. It's also supposed to go on my stomach."

Ginny shrugged and grinned, "Hey it didn't really come with directions, and I'm doing the best I can." Ginny rubbed the metal part with her hands to warm it up before sticking it on Hermione's stomach. Ginny moved the stethoscope around to a few different places on her stomach before frowning, "That doesn't seem right."

Hermione blinked, "What do you mean? You cannot tell me something is wrong while I'm lying naked on a cold table and you are listening for a heartbeat. So tell me what the bloody hell is wrong!"

Ginny blinked, "I don't hear a heartbeat, I hear two, maybe I'm just not doing it right."

Hermione's eyes widened, "You sure you aren't just hearing my heart beat?"

Ginny raised her eyebrows, "I think I'm slightly better then that. Let me try the new spell I found for checking the image of a baby."

Hermione nodded slightly. She still looked rather freaked, "Go for it."

Ginny waved her wand over Hermione's stomach, "Ostendo sum infantia" A glowing image of two small babies appeared over Hermione's stomach. "Hey I wasn't hallucinating, I did hear two heartbeats."

Hermione blinked back tears, "Oh boy."

Ginny smiled and looked down at Hermione, "I guess this means you are having twins."

Hermione blinked, "Oh please dear goddess, tell me that they aren't going to be as troublesome as the Fred and George."

Ginny chuckled as she studied the image, "I don't think that's possible, besides it looks like you are going to have girls."

"Do they look healthy?"

Ginny chuckled, "Yes though I would still like to get some extra help with checking you ladies over."

Hermione frowned, "Maybe we should take a trip to a doctor for a check up in a few weeks. Either that or stop by Grim's place."

Ginny frowned, "I think we should put those on the list, either that or at least get Madam Pomfrey to come check on you lot."

Hermione frowned, "That might be a good idea though I'm not sure about the publicity though."

Ginny scowled, "We can figure something out. In the mean time I'll have Dawn send this picture of the twins to someone that would know what to look for." She waved her wand at the image causing it to float over to land on a piece of white paper before sinking into it.

Hermione sighed, "Sorry, do you think I can stand up now?"

Ginny smiled, "Sure, sorry I'm just trying to make sure you and the girls are safe. I don't think we thought about some of the details well enough."

Hermione sat up and looked at Ginny, "You read through all of the books, we went over this before. You did the spell fine; I'm not very worried about it. It's just a bit overwhelming finding out that I am going to have twins."

Willow knocked on the door, "Are you two done in there yet?"

Hermione smiled, "Yes, come in Willow we have news."

Willow smiled before opening the door and stepping into the room, "So what's the news and why were you crying Hermione, is something wrong?"

Hermione smiled, wiping her face of tears, "I'm crying because I'm happy. I just found out that I'm having twins."

Willow grinned, "That's great, I'm sure Fred and George will go crazy over this."

Hermione walked over and hugged Willow somewhat awkwardly as their stomachs touched, "Thanks and I love you."

Ginny smiled "See I'm sure everything will turn out fine. However, you need to have your check up Willow."

Willow shrugged, "Fine what do I have to do?"

Ginny nodded towards the table "Lie down on the table and relax."

Hermione frowned, "Doesn't she have to take off her clothes first?"

Ginny shrugged and smiled, "Would you believe me if I said that she didn't have too now that I had some practice?"

Hermione chuckled, "Somehow I don't think I would."

Willow sat on the table and laid back, "So Ginny can you check on the baby?"

Ginny nodded, "Sure thing Willow, just give me a second." Ginny waved her wand over Willow, "Ostendo sum infantia" An image of a single baby appeared floating over Willow. With a flick of her wrist, she sent the image into another blank white piece of paper on the shelf.

Willow smiled, "Looks healthy to me."

Ginny grinned, "Yeah I'll get Dawn to send the pictures along."

Hermione chuckled as she slipped her robe back on, "We should go tell Faith and Dawn."

Hermione smiled, "Thanks for doing the spells for the check up."

Ginny shrugged, "All part of the magic practice, I guess."

Hermione grinned, "So being that I showed off for you Ginny, does that mean that you will return the favor today?"

Ginny blushed, "I guess that was a bit unethical, even if it was fun."

Hermione nodded, leaned over and kissed Ginny on the nose, "Yeah just a touch."

Willow chuckled, "Get a room you two. I'm going to go tell Harry the happy news about the twins."

Hermione grinned, "We are going to go study for next time, that way Ginny won't have any excuses to not do the spell right."

"Study sure, I see how it is." Willow laughed as she walked out of the office.

Willow grinned as she headed to the training room. She thought to herself, 'I really should get pictures one of these days. As for the father of the children he should be up in the training room with Lexie and Rogue.'

Faith rested comfortably in a chair watching Lexie and Rogue fighting in the training room. She frowned looking at the two combatants, "Harry is it just me or has Lexie grown a few inches?"

Harry shook his head, "It's not just you, her skirt is shorter now then when she first got here. I figure all of the good food is finally catching up with her as well as a growth spurt. Besides, she was tall to start with."

Faith nodded, "She will probably end up being taller than me, though heck you are racking up a few inches as well Harry. We should probably look into getting her a new skirt as well."

Faith shouted, "Watch your left side Lexie you keep dropping your guard."

Lexie raised her hands a touch more, "If you weren't talking about me I wouldn't be so distracted. I like this skirt it's my favorite, I've had it for years, besides Neville likes it."

Faith chuckled, "What's not to like? We can see your undies when you raise your arms. Personally, I like the little kittens printed on them. Hey this is nothing, at least we haven't started talking about giving your cute behind birthday spankings yet."

Lexie slipped and just barely managed to dodge Rogue's screama-stick as it flew past her guard. "So not funny."

Rogue smiled, "Hey you do have a nice behind just don't let her distract you by talking about it."

Willow stepped into the room, "Working on the distract the bad people while fighting training?"

Faith grinned, "Yeah well B was always better than I was at it, but the least I can do is try."

Lexie grinned as she blocked one of Rogue's hits with her own sticks. "I'm just glad that she hasn't started with the bad puns yet."

Willow grinned, "We just thought everyone should know that we finished the tests and found out that Hermione was having twins."

Harry grinned, "That's great, and where is Hermione?"

Lexie smiled, "I'm sure they will be the terrors of Hogwarts."

Willow chuckled, "Ginny was giving her a backrub to make up for teasing her."

Lexie chuckled, "So in other words they are giving the bed springs a work out?"

Willow chuckled, "You have a dirty mind girl."

Faith grinned, "That's what we like about her."

Rogue frowned, "So what did Ginny do to tease Hermione?"

"Well Ginny played a trick on her; she told Hermione that she needed to get up on the cold table without clothes. Hermione was a little annoyed about the cold table part."

Harry laughed, "I'm sure they will sort it out."

Lexie grinned, "I just wish I had a camera."

Harry chuckled and shook his head, "Believe me I have thought about it and there is no way we could pull it off without getting caught."

Lexie grinned, "Yeah I know but that doesn't stop a girl from dreaming."

Willow tried hard to keep a straight face, "You two better focus on your fight before you hurt yourselves."

Lexie grinned as she jumped over Rogue's leg sweep. "How are we supposed to concentrate after you tell us that?"

Rogue laughed as she went on the offensive, "I'm trying not to think about it. I haven't got anything resembling smoochies since I got here."

Lexie grinned as she tried to block the various hits, "Well you got to dance with Winifred, you looked to be having a pretty good time."

Rogue grinned as she redoubled her efforts, "I did have fun just not that type of fun."

Lexie smiled before stepping back and holding up her sticks, "You win. Can I take a break?"

Faith frowned, "I guess, though Vampires don't take breaks."

Violet stepped up, "Do you think I can borrow your screama-sticks?"

Lexie smiled and handed the pair of two and half foot long sticks to Violet. She took a few practice swings as Lexie walked over and got a glass of water. Lexie looked down at her short skirt, "I guess you are right it's a bit shorter than I remember."

Violet smiled and bowed to Rogue before launching into a series of attacks. Rogue worked on blocking all of the strikes with her own sticks.

Willow smiled at Lexie, "If you want you can raid my clothes closet for something else to wear."

Lexie grinned, "I might have too."

Willow grinned and pulled up a chair near Faith, "Do you mind if I sit here? I have some planning to do for tomorrow's magic lesson."

Faith grinned, "Five by Five with me Red. I just want to make sure there is someone supervising the slayers."

Lexie grinned while watching Rogue and Violet going at each other with sticks.

Willow sat in the chair and pulled out her notebook before starting to write up her lesson plans.

Hermione grinned as she lay down on Ginny's bed. Ginny stood in the middle of her room. "I guess you want me to take these off."

Hermione smiled, "What type of example would we set if we weren't fair."

Ginny laughed, "That's a load of horse wash; you just want to have some fun."

Hermione grinned, "Yeah well we are farther than I thought we would be in our studies and we deserve a break."

Ginny laughed as she started dancing around taking off her clothes one item at a time.

Hermione grinned at Ginny after she finished stripping "Come join me over here."

Ginny smiled and climbed on the bed next to Hermione.

Hermione grinned, "Is this where I start going over the charms homework?"

Ginny sighed, "No this is where I kiss you silly to stop you from talking about schoolwork."

Hermione giggled, "I'm not quite as bad as I used to be."

Ginny smiled, "Only person I know that would be joking about schoolwork when they had a cute naked girl in their bed." Ginny leaned down and ran her tongue along Hermione's ear. "No more talk about schoolwork today alright?"

Hermione shivered and nodded, "Alright."

Ginny trailed her tongue down her neck until she was gently sucking on Hermione's breast. Hermione ran her hands through Ginny's hair.

Later that night, Harry, Ron, Fred and George sat up in the game room watching Lexie and Rogue battle it out on their fighting game. "Ron care to place a wager on who is going to win this time?"

Ron shrugged, "Nah it goes either way more often then not, I'm not wasting a knut on that deal."

George frowned, "Well who knew the Muggle computer games could be this much fun, though I think I prefer betting on the real sparing matches."

Harry shook his head, "I don't know this is pretty interesting besides the characters in the game wear less clothing while they fight."

Lexie laughed as she knocked Rogue's character off a cliff to finish her off. "So you are saying we are supposed to wear less clothes?"

Rogue frowned at the game then smiled at Harry, "I would have thought the great Harry Potter would have enough pretty girls in his life without trying to see some skin in a fight."

George laughed, "There is no such thing as too much skin on a pretty girl."

Fred nodded, "He is right, the more the better."

Lexie chuckled, "So Harry, what do we have to do to order for one of those sheer dresses like you and Ginny made for Hermione?"

Harry shrugged, "I'm not sure, I'll talk to Ginny about making more."

Lexie grinned, "I think it might be nice to have one even if I don't have much to show off."

Rogue looked at Lexie's chest and smiled, "You are probably a little bigger than when I first got here, I'm sure you will get there at some point. So who wants to fight?"

Harry shrugged as he grabbed the controller, "I'll talk to Ginny in the morning, right now I want to kick some slayer ass the only way I can, on a video game."

Lexie grinned, "I'm off to go visit Neville."

Harry smiled "See you in the morning."

Lexie headed off as Dawn entered the room. "Ah the computer game ritual, Harry how come you aren't down with Ginny?"

Harry shrugged, "Hermione and Ginny are talking so I figured I would come up and play some computer games."

Dawn grinned, "I'll have to ask her how it went."

Ron frowned, "What is there to talk about anyways?"

Harry glanced at Ron and shrugged, "You never know with Girls." He concentrated on fending off Rogue's character's special attacks.

George glanced at Dawn, "So did you find out if the baby is doing well?"

"Yeah so far as we can tell, it's a girl."

George smiled, "That's great, what about Faith?"

Dawn shrugged, "We weren't sure on the sex of Faith's baby but it looked healthy."

Harry shrugged, "I'm sure that you will find out in a few months."

Dawn sighed, "Yeah I'll be happy to not be lugging around the extra weight, and not having the extra potty breaks would be nice."

Harry frowned, "I'm not going to ask about the extra Potty breaks."

Dawn grinned, "It's because of the extra weight on the bladder it pushes." Dawn stopped talking as she noticed the males wincing.

Harry winced, "I said I didn't want to know. Did you have any luck sending the letter to Grim and Colora?"

Dawn nodded, "Yeah they said they would come to help out for the babies."

Harry grinned, "That's good news. I just hope everything goes well." He sighed, "I'm sort of scared that something bad will happen."

Dawn shook her head, "Nothing bad is going to happen."

George chuckled as Harry's character was blasted off the cliff by Rogue, "Well other than Rogue toasting you."

Rogue grinned, "Hey what do you expect I have been playing this type of game for years. You guys know that Lexie's birthday is coming up right?"

Harry nodded, "In like a week right?"

Rogue nodded, "Yeah, so what are we going to get her?"

Fred shrugged, "I'm not sure, maybe some joke products or girls like jewelry."

Rogue frowned, "I was thinking some type of necklace or something. Harry why don't you and Ginny make her a dress like Hermione's?"

Harry frowned, "Because she is turning twelve?"

Rogue shrugged, "Yeah so?"

Ron sputtered, "She is twelve."

Rogue shrugs, "I still saw you looking up her skirt at her underwear while she was walking up the stairs to class today."

Ron sputtered as his face went red.

Rogue sighed, "The point is she liked Hermione's dress a lot. Just make hers a touch less transparent. It will still make her feel special and you wouldn't feel bad about it. Besides, she is growing out of her clothes. A self-cleaning dress that will grow with her would do her a world of good. She grew up poor, I am sure you know how that feels. I don't want her to have to borrow clothes from people because she is too embarrassed to ask about going to get new clothes."

Ron frowned, "She's poor, but her computer is expensive."

Rogue sighed, "So is your wand right?"

Harry blinked, "She has a point, and it's sort of the same thing. She needed her computer to make a living just like you need your wand."

Dawn nodded, "So we have clothes, a necklace and what else for presents."

Ron frowned, "Well I guess we could get her some Quidditch lessons."

Fred looked at Ron, "Not a bad idea, I would get her candy but well I don't think anyone would actually eat anything we got them."

George nodded sadly, "Too right, buggers don't trust us."

Fred grinned, "Can you blame them?"

George shook his head, "Not really, but that still leaves us looking for a present. I think one of the shield charm rings would work."

Fred nodded, "That is a great idea Fred."

George nodded, "Yeah well I'm glad I thought of it George."

Dawn smiled while shaking her head, "What about balloons?"

Harry nodded, "Maybe some of those wizarding ones that don't break?"

Fred nodded, "I can do that."

Harry grinned, "Alright then in a week we have the party."

Dawn grinned, "Xander should have the outside deck finished in a week."

Ron shuddered, "I still don't think it's all that safe."

George laughed, "That's just because you put a foot through the unfinished part and almost fell to your death."

Fred grinned, "He is just lucky that Alexia caught him."

Ron shuddered, "It's not funny."

Harry shrugged, "Well he did have a sign that said work in progress."

Ron frowned, "Still looking off into the mist is just creepy."

Harry shrugged, "I heard he was putting up walls."

"Alright, not that this isn't fun, but I'm tired." Dawn chuckled as she headed off to her room.

The week passed quickly as the group scurried around getting things ready for Lexie's birthday.

Lexie frowned and adjusted the blindfold that covered her eyes, "This is silly Rogue can't I look yet?"

Rogue grinned as she steered Lexie into one of the extra rooms, "Just hold on a few seconds we are almost there."

"Lexie grinned, "So far this is the best birthday ever, I got breakfast in bed and I'm being lead somewhere interesting with a blindfold on."

Rogue smiled and took the blindfold off.

Lexie blinked as she looked around the crowed room with everyone holding presents.

Dawn shouted, "Surprise!"

Lexie grinned when she noticed all of the floating balloons, "Oh balloons, do I get cake?"

Willow grinned, "What's a birthday without cake?"

Lexie grinned, "So where do I start first?"

Lupin and Tonks chuckled, "Well you might try having the cake first or you could open your presents first."

Lexie grinned, "How about presents?"

Faith grinned and handed her a box, "I didn't wrap it but I figured you would want it anyways."

Lexie opened the box and pulled out a large knife in an arm sheath, "I love it."

Willow frowned, "Why didn't we think of weapons?"

Hermione shrugged, "We should have she is a slayer."

Lexie smiled as she opened the various boxes of presents from people, an assortment of trinkets from her friends and books from the teachers. She opened the present from Harry and Ginny with a delighted smile. She holds up a sheer green dress. "Is this like Hermione's?"

Harry nodded, "We heard that you wanted one so we tried to make a similar dress for you."

Lexie smiled, "I love it. It will go nicely with the green stone necklace Rogue got me."

Lexie grinned as Neville handed over the last package. "Oh this should be good." She smiled before opening the box to reveal a silver bracelet with green stones. "You guys planned this green theme out didn't you?"

Harry laughed, "Willow said green looked good on you. Just remember that you can change the color of the dress if you want."

Lexie grinned, "Someone light the candles. I want cake."

Willow grinned before softly blowing on the candles to light them.

Fred blinked, "That's a neat trick can we sell some candles that light when you blow on them?"

George shrugged, "Might be worth looking into."

Willow chuckled, "Alright everyone let's sing happy birthday."

Everyone other than Lexie started singing "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Lexie, Happy birthday to you!"

Willow smiled, "Make a wish and blow out the candles."

Lexie smiled, took a deep breath and blew out the candles.

Harry grinned, "So do you think your wish will come true?"

Lexie shrugged, "I have family that cares about me, what more could I wish for?"

Faith grinned, "Well said."

Anya smiled, "I can think of a few things."

Xander chuckled, "Honey, remember you aren't a wish demon anymore."

Anya shrugged, "Hey old habits die hard."

Willow cut the cake and started passing the slices out to everyone including Dobby.

Xander grinned, "I think we should go out to the patio to eat now that I have finished building it."

Willow smiled, "You were being pretty quiet when it came to your plans for the addition. I want to see what it looks like."

Xander grinned, "Go for it."

Willow rushed over to the front door and threw it open. She looked out on a large deck built all the way around the side of the house. "This deck must be at least fifteen feet wide and you built a wall to close in the deck. You even have the top closed in with glass."

Xander nodded, "There is some ventilation but everything is designed with the idea that we can seal this place down if needed. I'm not taking any chances. I had Hermione cast unbreakable charms on the glass before we installed it. Dawn helped scribe anti-demon wards into every board as well."

Willow looked around at the lovely deck, "I don't see a pool though."

Xander grinned, "It's around the backside of the house all safe and sound behind a portrait locked gate so that no children can wander back there."

Willow grinned and hugged Xander, "You really are the best."

Xander grinned, "Yes I am."

Lexie grinned, "So can we go swimming?"

Xander grinned, "I don't see why not."

Lexie grinned before heading off towards the pool.

Ron frowned, "Does she even have a suit?"

Ginny chuckled, "You think that's going to stop her? Come on Rogue last one in is a rotten egg."

Rogue smiled before running after Ginny.

Xander grinned, "Remus there are some smaller hot tubs as well as the large pool if you like."

Tonks grinned, "I guess we can use a day to relax."

Faith smiled at Wolverine, "Care to share one of the pools that the children aren't using?"

Wolverine grinned, "Sounds good to me."

Rogue grinned as she relaxed in the warm water, "So who gets to give Lexie her birthday spankings?"

Lexie grinned, "Whoever wants to die a painful death?"

Violet chuckled before edging away from Lexie "Don't look at me I don't want to give anyone a spanking."

Ginny laughed from her seat on Harry's lap in the pool, "I just think Rogue is looking for ways to touch Lexie."

Rogue blushed, "Hey now, didn't you have a tradition of birthday spanking?"

Fred laughed, "Sure we did she just threatened anyone that thought about it with dismemberment while they were sleeping."

Harry smiled, "I'm not that brave, what about you Neville."

Neville shrugged, "Not a chance Harry, I like my limbs intact."

Lexie chuckled, "Though, I wouldn't mind a birthday backrub."

Rogue sheepishly raised her hand, "I'll give you one."

Lexie frowned, "You promise not to give me a spanking?"

Rogue nodded, "I promise no spankings today."

Lexie gave Rogue a mock scowl, "Just today?"

Rogue shrugged, "You never know when you might get a dare or something or have a game of truth or dare or something."

Lexie nodded and pulled herself out of the pool.

Rogue tossed Lexie a towel and pointed to a comfortable looking lawn chair, "No sense in getting the chair wet."

Lexie frowned, "My shirt and underwear would still get it wet."

Rogue grinned, "So take them off."

Neville sighed, "Damn it Harry, that was two silver sickles right?"

Harry grinned, "Yep, I won that bet, though you get five if she actually takes off the clothes."

Dawn frowned from her chair, "What were you two betting on?"

Harry shrugged, "I bet that someone would ask Lexie to wear her birthday suit at least once today. Neville disagreed with me. I bet him Lexie wouldn't take the dare and he seemed to think she had the courage to take the bet."

George looked at Fred, "Where were we when all the good bets were made?"

Fred shrugged, "I'm not sure."

Dawn chuckled before untying and dropping her bikini top. "So what's it going to be Lexie?"

Lexie frowned looking at the people in the pool. "Just give me a second." Lexie walked over to the gate where a portrait of a topless lifeguard hung, which was originally from Lily's photo album, and whispered a few words. Lexie smiled before heading back to the lawn chair by Rogue.

Rogue frowned, "What did you tell the portrait?"

Lexie smiled, "Well I didn't really want the rest of the people to see me without my suit so I just asked her to tell people we wanted alone time. Just remember you promised no spankings." She slipped out of her shirt and underwear before drying off with the towel. Lexie slowly spun around for the onlookers before lying down on the lawn chair.

Harry blinked as he noticed that Lexie's breasts a while still smaller than Ginny's are still larger than when they played truth or dare that first time. He chuckled, "I guess I owe you five sickles Neville."

Neville blinked a few times before nodding. Rogue grinned down at Lexie's cute pale body.

Fred shrugged and looked around, "Any other cute girl want to go in their birthday suits we aren't going to stop you."

Ginny chuckled.

George looked at Ginny, "Well other then you dear sister, we don't really want to rip out our eyes, you see."

Ginny chuckled, "Yeah I can see how that would be bad."

Dawn glanced over at Lexie before going back to reading her book.

Violet shrugged and looked at George, "If you really want George I'll trade you a massage for my top coming off."

George shrugged, "Maybe when Rogue is done."

Fred chuckled, "Three knuts say she gets nervous and drains Lexie at least once."

George shrugged, "I don't know maybe twice, she looks pretty distracted."

Rogue flushed, "Maybe they are right."

Harry frowned, "I'll match those wagers. I don't think she is going to drain her even once."

Lexie snickered, "Well if you can't even give a girl you like a backrub without your powers activating, how are you ever supposed to sleep with a guy you like?"

Rogue blushed, "I guess I'll have to try." She checked to make sure her bracelet was secure before hesitantly reaching out and touching Lexie's shoulders. She relaxed a touch when nothing happened power wise.

Lexie smiled, "See just concentrate and you will be fine."

Rogue carefully proceeded to give Lexie a massage from head to toe with a bunch of watching teenagers shouting encouragement.

Dawn chuckled as Rogue stood up, "Despite the cat calls from Fred and George, I think Harry won that round."

Lexie smiled as she sat up, "That felt nice Rogue. We have to keep her around."

Rogue blushed, "Thanks."

Lexie smiled as she took a running jump into the pool to splash everyone other than Dawn and Rogue. Rogue chuckled before jumping into the pool as well.

Violet shrugged and got out of the water. The water trailed down her legs washing over the strange violet tattoos on her legs.

Fred frowned, "What are the tattoos of?"

Violet shrugged, "They are tattoos of protection that my tribe used to use."

Fred looked at Violet with a curious look, "How much of your body do they cover?"

Violet smiled, "Quite a lot of it other than my face and hands. Here I'll show you." She took off her shirt and shorts tossing them into a pile. Fred blinked a few times as his eyes traced the tattoos as they traveled over her body.

"I'm glad you like it Fred, though I think I said George could give me a massage." Violet flopped down on the chair after drying herself off. She laid the towel across her behind. "Maybe next time I'll be as brave as Lexie."

George grinned before hurrying out of the pool and across the deck in his black boxer shorts. He proceeded to try his best to give Violet a good massage.

Dawn grinned, "Alright I think we found our new classroom."

Neville blinked, "Are you serious?"

Dawn nodded, "Hell yeah, I might as well enjoy myself while I talk about demonology."

Fred frowned, "I don't suppose we can sign up for this class?"

Dawn grinned, "I don't see why not, unless someone has an objection."

Harry shook his head, "I don't."

Ginny grinned, "None here."

"It sounds like we have a plan then." Dawn looked up at the multi colored sky, "I don't suppose there are spells for getting a tan?"

Harry shook his head, "I guess you could lie out in front of a sunlight spell for a long time but I'm not sure that is what you want."

Dawn shrugged, "At least I am not going to have tan lines."

Neville blinked as Lexie slid up to him, "You don't mind Rogue giving me a backrub do you?"

Neville shook his head, "You're a good friend, and I would like to keep it that way."

Lexie smiled as she swam around the pool a few times.

The days of extensive albeit fun training pass into weeks, the weeks into months.

Dawn sent Buffy an email a few weeks before the expected due dates.

Buffy logged into her computer and checked her council email box. She sighed, "Junk mail, stupid assignment, offer that says I won the lotto, as if." She blinked a few times at seeing a letter from Dawn, "GILES we got email from Dawn." She read the email as she waited for Giles to come read it.

"Hey Buffy

It's Dawn here though I'm sure you got that from the return address. Look, I'm sorry to have to ask this but do you have any slayers or witches that have medical training? We need someone that can stay for a couple of weeks to help Ginny deliver the babies. Other than needing some help, we are doing fine. I hope you can find the time to visit and actually be around for a while. I guess I'm saying I miss you and Giles. So find me a doctor or witch that can deliver the babies and activate the beacon."

Buffy looked up at Giles when he walked in. "So do we have a slayer to send them?"

Giles frowned, "I'll have to look over the list of available slayers. But we should have someone that has the qualifications."

Buffy sighed, "Just remember that we can't send anyone non magical to Dawn's home."

Giles sighed, "It's always something with her isn't it?"

Buffy chuckled, "I'll go round up the lists."

Giles nodded, "Thank you."

Dawn smiled as Buffy, Giles and a blond girl in her early twenties stepped out of the portal.

Buffy smiled at Dawn, "It's good to see you, "This is Slayer Helen. She is nurse in the part of the hospital that delivers babies."

Helen chuckled, "I'm just here to help you deliver the children."

Dawn nodded, "Well we could use the help we don't really have enough help in that department. I'll show you to the nurse's office." Dawn waddled to show Helen the nurse's office. Buffy chuckled as she picked up half of the nurse's equipment.

Helen looked around the nearly empty nurse's station, "I suppose your nurse is a witch?"

Dawn nodded, "Yes, we didn't have access to the latest medical techs."

Helen shrugged, "I'll do the best I can. I'm just hoping that if I have a problem we have a way to get to an actual hospital. Now if you will excuse me I need to give Dawn a checkup so that I have some idea what is going on. In other words get out."

Willow smiled as Buffy walks into the kitchen, "I'm glad you could make it."

Buffy smiled, "We wouldn't miss it for the world."

Giles smiled, "So how are things going? It doesn't seem like it's been that long since the last time we talked but you are much bigger around."

Willow shrugged, "A few months have passed since the last time we talked. It happens now and then."

Buffy shrugged, "It happens, so what's a girl have to kill around here to get some food?"

Willow grinned, "Just a slime demon or two. Nah I'll get Dobby to whip up some food for us. Giles if you want you can join Remus for his lecture on magic. You might enjoy it. Dobby, can you come here, please?"

Dobby appeared, "What can I get you Miss Willow?"

Willow smiled, "I want some steak and whatever Buffy or Giles would want."

Giles frowned, "How about a sandwich."

Buffy shrugged, "The steak sounds good."

"Yes mistress." Dobby vanished with a snap of his fingers.

The next few days continued along with Giles doing guest lectures as Helen waited for the children to be born. Dawn brought Grim and Colora for a visit a few hours after Buffy arrived. Grim, Colora, Ginny, Violet and Rogue helped Helen with the preparations as best they could. Harry made sure he stayed out of arm reach of the various slayer mothers as they went through labor.

Alexia's baby boy was the first born just after midnight a mere three days after Helen showed up. The next baby to be born was Faith's baby boy, born the following night at one o'clock. Two more days of waiting follow before Willow has her baby girl. Hermione's twin girls are born healthy and strong looking two hours after Willow's girl. Dawn's girl is born five hours after Hermione has her twins.

Dumbledore sighed as he flopped down into his comfortable office chair, having just gotten back from a very long meeting of the order. He looked up in surprise and noticed that the book showing the names of potential Hogwarts' students was glowing. Frowning Dumbledore opened the book to the last page and watched as black ink swirled and wrote names in the book. He smiled remembering some of the other names he had seen the book magically write in the scores of years he had watched over it. What he wasn't prepared for was the names that appeared in the book.

Albus looked down in shock as a series of impossible names appeared, William Alexander Weasley, Leo Angel Potter, Gabrielle Tara Rosenberg, Lillian Elsie Granger and Lenora Emily Granger. The quill finally stopped after writing Rose Joyce Summers. He smiled, "New hope and new life."

Harry smiled as he peeked into the modified delivery room a few minutes after leaving to get some water for the girls. "Is it safe to come in?"

Willow smiled and waved him over, "Yes, now give me that water please."

Harry smiled down at the baby girl that was nursing, "Well I think the wait was worth it. What are you going to name her?"

Willow smiled, "Her name is Gabrielle Tara Rosenberg, and yes the wait was worth it."

Hermione smiled from her bed and held up her two precious babies, "Harry get over here and hold your daughters."

Harry smiled and hesitantly walked over, "I'm not sure how."

Tonks sighed, and demonstrated holding the baby for Harry, "Just make sure you support her head."

Harry took one of the babies carefully in his arms and smiled down at the girl; Harry felt a sense of contentment he had never experienced before. "She is wonderful."

Ron looked up from Alexia's bedside, "How does it feel to have a family Harry?"

Harry smiled, "Like a part of me that I was missing came back."

Ron nodded and looked down at his own baby.

Dawn smiled and looked around the room, "Maybe we could get some rest now."

Faith smiled as she relaxed in her bed, holding her baby boy she whispered, "You are going to be a great warrior even if you aren't a girl." She smiled up at Harry. "I've been thinking about this since the delivery but you don't mind if the baby uses your last name do you Harry?"

Harry knowing that Faith didn't have much use for her last name, shook his head, "I don't mind."

Faith smiled, "Then meet Leo Angel Potter."

Willow smiled, "What does Xander think about his middle name?"

Faith grinned, "I'll tell him later after I'm well enough to kick his behind."

Hermione grinned, "The one you are holding is Lillian Elsie Granger, and the one that is still nibbling on my breast is Lenora Emily Granger."

Lexie snapped a few more pictures of the babies with her camera, "I figure this way we can send the pictures to all of the friends that couldn't be here."

Buffy looked around, "I'm not sure that we have too many of those but there are some."

Hermione sighed, "I'm sure my parents are going to want lots of photos as well. I just wish they could have been here."

Buffy frowned, "Why couldn't they?"

Willow frowned, "It has to do with the fact that wherever here is causes mental issues with non magical people."

Buffy shrugged, "So why can Xander come here?"

Willow laughed, "Because he is Xander? Actually it is the same reason that Andrew can come here, it's because of all of the Hellmouth energies they absorbed over the years. Either that or it's because Xander got possessed so many times that he doesn't count as human and Andrew is already insane. The jury is still out on that."

Buffy frowned, "What about Giles?"

Dawn chuckled, "Well Giles can use magic."

Buffy shrugged, "I guess that explains it."

The next few days were rather frantic as Helen and Ginny worked themselves to the bone doing medical scan after medical scan to make sure the children were healthy.
