Christmas break arrived quickly this year but Minerva was ready for it. Her three month pregnant belly was already protruding somewhat. She had always heard a witch's body knew its pregnant shape and she fully understood the saying now. She had already had to start using her maternity clothing.

Minerva swept into the nursery and smiled at her giggling babies. Calum and Ainslie had mastered the art of pulling themselves up and were standing in the cribs. "Good morning my wee loves," she greeted as she kissed both of their foreheads. "Shall we change our nappies and then go wake Daddy?" Their giggling just became louder.

Minerva walked into the bedroom with the freshly dressed babies and placed them on the bed with Harry. She crawled in and watched as they scooted to their Dad and smack on his belly. He chuckled before opening his eyes and hugging his babies. "Merry Christmas babies," he said cheerfully and leaned over and gave his wife a good morning kiss.

Harry drew the smiling babies into his embrace and kissed their foreheads. "Already the best Christmas ever," he whispered as he just enjoyed his children.

Minerva teared up by the honest statement from her husband. He hadn't had many good Christmases in general and no presents until he first came to Hogwarts. Minerva had broken down when he had finally admitted to how he had been raised. She knew his family didn't want anything to do with magic; however, she never expected Albus would have left him in the environment he had grew up in. "They shall be better each year to come," Minerva said brokenly.

Startled Harry turned to his wife and frowned when he saw her tears. "No tears or sadness today," he begged. "I am a lucky wizard to have you three in my life. Well I guess it's more like three and a half, right?"

Minerva smiled and wiped her tears away. "You are absolutely correct," she said. "Shall we see what Father Christmas brought?"

Harry and Minerva settled on the love couch after they opened gifts and watched their babies play on the floor. Calum was entertained by a toddler sized Snitch that stayed within his arms reach. A gift from Rolonda and John of course! Ainslie clutched a muggle babydoll Aunt Hermione had given her and attempted to kiss it. It was a soft doll with dark hair and green eyes. Ainslie was mesmerized by it!

Minerva was suprised when Harry laid another gift on her lap. "What is this," she asked. "I already opened a gift from you."

Harry smiled sheepishly. "It is just something I want you to have."

Minerva smiled at him before opening the box. A book was nestled in the box. Dark Spells and Ways to Avoid Them by Harry Potter. She picked up the book and skimmed through it. It's combining Defense with muggle exercise techniques she realized suprised.

"I thought we could introduce a fitness program within Defense," he said. "We both know most magical people rely on their magic far too much and I thought we could work towards solving that."

Minerva beamed at him and leaned in to kiss him. "That's a brilliant idea," she agreed. "Maybe we could start some sporting clubs as well so more students are involved besides those that join their house quidditch teams."

Minerva looked at the bottom of the box and noticed something else was in there. She pulled out a parchment and was suprised it was from Gringotts. Minerva's Heart was written at the top. She quickly read the parchment and stared at her husband in shock. "You started a foundation in my name?"

"I did," he answered. "We have enough gold in our vaults to live extravagantly and still not worry about our finances. We don't need any more gold to sit in those vaults collecting dust. I have all proceeds from the book sales, this one and the last one, going into a vault designated for your foundation. It's up to you how to make the most of it."

Harry was suprised when Minerva kissed him hard and demanding. She smiled brightly before speaking, "Your selflessness is rather sexy and once the twins take a nap I plan to show you how much I appreciate your heart and your thoughtfulness."

Harry groaned at the image his mind supplied of his wife in the throes of passion. "You are a very naughty witch," he whispered as he tried to calm himself down. Minerva merely laughed and turned her attention back to her babies.

Minerva stood naked in front of the mirror in their bedroom. Harry watched as she turned one way and then the other, a frown on her face. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. He pressed a kiss to her neck before he asked what was bothering her.

"I think my scars are decreasing in size," Minerva answered. "They are tingling somewhat as of late."

Harry took a closer look to the scars on her chest and bit his lip in concentration. "They appear to be smaller," he agreed. "Have you spoken to Poppy about it?"

"Not yet," she answered. "I have an appointment in a few days so I will mention it then."

"Sounds like a plan," Harry replied. "Since you are already naked, I might as well have my way with you."

Minerva laughed as Harry picked her up and packed her to bed. Having a younger husband had its own benefits she thought. He kissed his way down her body and she forgot everything when fingers and tongue found her womanly folds.
