The months passed and Kristopher, Alexandria, Jonathan and Hailey began to learn and become fascinated with their new world more and more every day. One morning though Hermione awoke to find herself ill. She knew that Harry had just got over a cold and she brushed it aside as that. But when she was still ill a few days later she knew that it wasn't a cold. All of her symptoms were the same as they were when she found out she was expecting the twins and a trip to the Mediwitch confirmed that. At first she was a little worried to tell Ron because she wasn't sure if he wanted a huge family. When she got home she found him sitting at the table reading the Daily Prophet. When he saw her come though the door he looked up and said,
"What did you find out? Are you all right?"
"Well Ron, to be quite honest, I'm really hoping you want a big family because I'm pregnant again," she said.
Ron's eyes widened and he got up and took Hermione in his arms.
"Hermione, why would you think I wouldn't want a big family? I grew up in one and loved every single minute of it. Yes it was hectic from time to time, but it was still fun."
"I'm glad you think that," she said.
"Yes, now let's go tell Mum," he said.
"All right, then we can go tell Harry and Ginny," she said.
Hermione walked in the other room to get Kristopher and Alexandra. When they arrived at the Burrow Mrs. Weasley grabbed her two grandchildren and took them to the other room. Hermione looked at Ron and smiled. They followed her to the other room and said,
"Mrs. Weasley, we have something to tell you."
"Come now dear, I've told you a thousand times call me Mum," she said.
Hermione shook her head and said,
"All right."
"Now what do you have to tell me," she asked.
Ron reached over and took Hermione's hand and looked her. She nodded her head and he said,
"Mum, Hermione's pregnant."
"Oh..my..congratulations dear," she exclaimed.
"It looks like we may be going for a large family," Ron said.
"Yes, except right now we're not sure if I'm having twins again or if I'm having just one," he said.
"Oh but still, congratulations again and I am going to guess that you will be going to Harry's next," she said.
"Yes," they said.
"But we can leave Kristopher and Alexandria here for you to watch,"
Hermione said.
Mrs. Weasley smiled and nodded her head before whisking them off to the other room. Hermione let out a laugh and said,
"Well let's go Ron."
He nodded his head and they apparated to Harry's and Ginny's. When they arrived and they told Harry and Ginny both of the girls ran to the other room and began to figure out names. Harry shook his head and said,
"So Ron, are you ready go through all of the mood swings, the cravings, the 'I'm fat and ugly' mood," he asked.
"Yes, even if it does drive me mad some days I endure all because I love Hermione," he said.
"I endured it because I love Ginny," Harry replied.
"Ron, are you ready to go," Hermione asked re-entering the room.
"Yes, when ever you are," he replied.
They left and went back to the Burrow, picked up Alexandra and Kristopher, and went back home. Hermione looked at Ron and said,
"Are you wondering if it will be twins again?"
"I'm just happy to be having another child with you," he said.
She smiled at him and leaned over to kiss him. Just as their lips met Alexandra let out a wail and interrupted to the moment. Hermione looked down at Alexandra and said,
"She's probably tired and it's near her nap time."
She took her into her room and laid her down and then took Kristopher to his room for his nap. When she walked back into the room Ron had a letter in his hand and said,
"It's from the Mediwitch."
She took the letter and opened it. She scanned it and a smile began to play on her lips.
"What is it Hermione," Ron asked.
"It's triplets," she said.
What," he asked.
"We're going to have triplets," she said.
Ron pulled her to him and said,
"I guess we are going to have a traditional Weasley family."
"And I couldn't be any happier," she said.
"Really," Ron asked in disbelief.
"Yes, every time you went home to your family during breaks I envied you a bit because I sometimes wished that I were a part of a large family, it's just that I never wanted to voice that thought really in fear of sounding, oh I don't know, petty," she said.
"Hermione that wouldn't have been pettiness," he said.
"I know that now, and I think I knew that then too, but still," she started.
"Hermione, you're rambling," Ron interrupted.
She smiled sheepishly and gave him a hug.
Sorry it's been awhile since the last update, but school has been keeping me busy this semester. I'm not sure when the next update will be, but hopefully soon. Thanks to those who have reviewed. I love reading them and do take them into consideration when writing--or at least I try.
