Chapter 54: Last Pregenncy
It was now the day the Teddy would start Hogwarts. Delaney was just about seven months pregnant so she was basically waddling around the platform with her father, brother and step-mum.
"You didn't have to come, we know it's difficult," Remus said as he was holding his granddaughter's hand on one side and his son's on the other.
"Nonsense, dad. I couldn't miss seeing Teddy off no matter how pregnant I am," Delaney said ruffling her brother's turquoise hair as she pushed Char in his pram.
Remus nodded, smirked and said, "I'm still waiting for one of your children to be named after me."
"Just you wait, dad," Delaney smirked her hand on her huge stomach.
She already knew his middle name was going to Remus but she had no idea for a first name she better hurry he was due in late October.
The whistle blew and Teddy boarded the train with the two third years. Teddy was sorted into Hufflepuff.
Delaney was now in labor again. Neville was a little late. Maggie tried to comfort her step-daughter but to no avail.
"I want Neville," Delaney whined, painfully.
This is her third time in labor but it still hurts and she just wants her beloved husband though he is the one who did this to her. They still can't keep their hands off each other despite being married for almost a decade. These have been the best nine and half years of her life.
"I'm sure he'll be here soon."
Delaney whined softly.
"Whining is not attractive, love," Neville smirked at his wife as he took Maggie's spot next to her and taking her sweaty hand.
"You're here," Delaney sighed.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world."
They had ran out of the potion that they had given Delaney the last two times she was in labor. So she had to have a natural birth.
"You are never touching me again, Neville," Delaney said, griping the bed sheet.
"You and I both know that won't happen, we still can't keep our hands off each other," Neville smirked.
"Case and point, our soon to be three children in nine years and eight months."
"Have you thought of a first name for our son?" Neville asked.
"I really like Patrick," Delaney said.
Neville nodded.
A few minutes later a soft cry echoed on the room. They went through the same routine.
"So, what's his name?" Remus asked his daughter.
"Patrick Remus Longbottom." Delaney smiled at her father.
"Patience pays off."
They now have three kids under the age of ten and Delaney was raising them most of the year not that she minded. Neville had been teaching at Hogwarts for seven years when Molly II, Nate and Victoire started Hogwarts. Molly was sorted into Ravenclaw. Nate was a Ravenclaw as well. Victoire was a Gryffindor. They were quite surprised.
Delaney was home with her kids in March 2012.
"Are you okay, mum?" Alice asked her mum sitting down on the couch with a book.
"I'm fine, Lissy," Delaney told her daughter.
"You sure, mummy?" Char, who was sitting down playing with a toy dragon that his namesake/godfather had bought him asked.
Delaney leaned down and kissed her son and daughter's heads in reassurance.
She heard a soft cry from Patrick's room. She went up to her youngest son's room.
"Hey Paddy," Delaney said picking up her two-year-old son.
"Mama," he said sucking his thumb.
Delaney smiled, fussed over her baby boy and then put him down in his crib.
She knew exactly what was wrong with her she's had these symptoms three times before. She just wasn't expecting it but that doesn't mean she wasn't happy. She rested her hand on her small bump.
"Delaney?" A familiar voice asked.
Delaney turned to see the face of her best friend Susan.
"Everything okay?"
"I'm pregnant again."
Susan smirked and said. "I see you and Neville still can't keep your hands off each other."
"Yep," Delaney said not ashamed admitting that she still couldn't keep her hands off her sexy, attractive, professor husband.
"You want me to babysit the kids so you can go to Hogwarts and tell Neville?"
"That would be nice, Sue. Thanks." Delaney said.
"Not a problem."
Delaney hugged her friend and then left to Hogwarts. Delaney reached Hogwarts.
