A/N: OMG the FINAL CHAPTER ::gasp:: I know, but I'm working on storylines for other fics. So I hope this will appease your appetite for final-ness.
5 years from our last vision………..
"Ok, after this, no more kids." Severus cupped his wife's large stomach full with child.
"This will be three. Cyrinda and Dorian are beside themselves in anticipation. But, I guess three will be enough." Hermione sighed exasperated. With the close call during Dorian's birth two years ago, Severus had spoken of putting a barren spell to avoid any complications. That hadn't gone too well. But, there was also a reminder of what a sappy father Severus had become with a wizard photo that Harry took at Cyrinda's birth.
The photo sat on Hermione's vanity with various finger smudges from the children and herself constantly asking why Daddy was glaring at the camera with tears in his eyes.
"Did Uncle Harry make Daddy cry?" Was a constant question.
And, "No, like that prat could." was the vehement answer from Severus. Then Hermione would step in a placate the child with, "Daddy was crying because he was so happy you were finally here." Cyrinda would giggle and Dorian would give his nod that mimicked his father's so closely Hermione had to blink quickly to assure herself that her genes were lurking within the small child.
"Mommy!" Quickly broke the silence and seclusion of the two adults as Cyrinda screeched from downstairs. The visitors had arrived for the Christmas party that Hermione and Severus were inclined to hold every year.
"I guess the Potters have arrive with their triplets and the insufferable Lily." Severus groaned as he took deep breaths to abate his arousal for his pregnant wife.
"Be nice, Lily is just hyper." Hermione muttered.
"Hyper? The Weasley twins were hyper, this child has the attention span of a gnat!" Severus snapped. Wrenching open the door, he let Hermione precede him and followed her down the stairs of their house outside Hogsmeade.
The unintelligible babble of Lily was the loudest thing, under that was Cyrinda's giggles as the triplets chased her around the entryway.
"Ginny, Harry! So glad you could make it!" Hermione hugged Ginny as much as she could with her girth between them.
"You know we couldn't miss this! Plus; Lily, Dean, Seamus, and James were itching to get out of the house." Ginny chuckled.
"To destroy ours." Severus muttered then 'oofed' when Hermione's elbow settled in his gut.
"What?" Harry asked unaware of the comment.
"Nothing." Severus sighed rubbing his stomach. Another ring of the doorbell interrupted the talk.
"That must be Nymphadora, Remus, and Sirius!" Hermione smiled and opened the door to Nymphadora, who was also pregnant, and Remus holding a now five year old Sirius. Unlike his namesake, Sirius was shy and tended to cling to his father.
"Sirius!" Cyrinda's joyful yell sent the five year old alight. He began to wiggle from his father grasp to get to Cyrinda.
"Rinda!" He answered back and ran after her and his laughs soon mingled with the others.
"Drinks anyone?" Severus asked exasperated already. This enticed the others to laugh and give their orders.
"You're going to let all the heat out like this, Hermione!" Ron laughed as he and Luna carried their twins up the walkway. The twins were almost three and getting their running legs worked up, with snow caked on their little boots, they were scrambling to get inside and see their cousins.
"'Ily!" Terry, in the grip of his father tried to run and slipped on the packed snow, only to be caught by his father's strong grip on his arm.
Lily appeared at the door and waved frantically at her cousins. "Hi!" She squeaked in her too high voice.
"Joey, watch it!" Luna gasped as the other twin escaped her grasp and bolted into the house.
"'Ily!" Snow sprinkled in his wake as he chased after his cousin who was barely older than his self.
"Joey, Terry! Come back here and take off your boots!" Luna bellowed after her sons. The two froze and slipped off their boots where they stood and continued to chase their cousin.
"Where's Dorian, I don't see him running around." Remus asked as Severus handed him a glass of ale.
"Dorian is a child after my own heart, he climbs up in my old chair and likes to look at my potions books. We got him an alchemy set for Christmas." Severus smiled slightly.
"Hopefully he will have a better attitude." Remus snickered.
"Hopefully no one will hang him by his ankles in front of the entire school to reveal his pants to everyone. (a/n pants are male underwear in Britain/Scotland knickers for girls)" Severus shot back.
"Touché." Remus chuckled and winced as Sirius skidded on melted snow, landing on his bum. Freezing, Remus waited for the wail and was surprised when Sirius only sniffled and got up. He smiled at Cyrinda who stood waiting for him. "God, my child is already in love!" Remus groaned.
"Least she comes from good blood." Severus smirked. "My child has better taste as well." Severus chuckled. Remus gave him a bland look.
"Your tree is gorgeous!" Ginny gasped. The wives had congregated to the kitchen where a small buffet, prepared by the elves, was laid out. The cookies had already been raided by the smaller ones, along with the famous baklava that Hermione made at each holiday.
"Severus decided to decorate this year with the children. He's teaching them small spells that can't do any harm. Severus put up the bubble lights. He found them on one of our muggle trips and got quite a few and charmed them to work by themselves without electricity." Hermione smiled.
"Your children will be geniuses." Nymphdora laughed.
"They'll be normal." Hermione grinned. "Except for Dorian, I suspect he'll be a blend of Severus and I." Hermione sighed. "Cyrinda will be…………. Cyrinda." This made the ladies laugh.
"Who would've thought the Boy that Lived and the Odd Weasley Out would be fathers?" Ron laughed as he and Harry tumbled on the floor with the children.
"Not me!" Harry laughed as his boys toddled over him trying to sit on his chest.
"Daddy!" Terry shouted with his arms upraised. Ron smiled and hauled his son into his arms. Giving in, Ron soon fell to the ground where the kids soon had him pinned to the floor.
After the kids had worn themselves out and fallen asleep in the various rooms, The parents sat around the den sipping cocoa and talking about times past, present, and future.
"I'd hate to see our whole gaggle of children looming on Hogwarts." Ron laughed.
"Only because I have to teach all of them." Severus growled.
"I have to make sure they live through it." Luna laughed, " But I don't have to see them everyday!" Luna was now the mediwitch at Hogwarts while Ron was still an Auror.
"I just send them off and see them on holidays once they go!" Harry snickered. Harry was Ron's partner at the ministry while Ginny was a witch overseeing the Education Department at the ministry.
"Only because your child has the energy of a small army." Severus growled.
"Oh stop being such a ninny, you're only grouchy cause she won't sit still." Hermione chuckled. Hermione sometimes would stop in a give lectures to Severus' classes, but mainly she taught potions at a college near the ministry.
"No child should be that hyper." Severus stated. "Dorian certainly isn't." Severus grinned.
"Oh, stop! You're only smug because he's practically your clone! I feel as if I was only the incubator." Hermione moaned in good nature.
"Same with the twins! They are all Weasley!" Luna laughed.
"Na uh! They have your chin!" Ron smiled. "Oof!" He wasn't quick enough to catch the pillow in his gut.
"Shut up!" Luna nearly shrieked.
The conversation went on, until even the parents grew weary. Bundling up their children, they carried them to the fire place preparing to floo home.
"Merry Christmas!" Hermione smiled as the families left.
Remus rubbed his small son's back as he lay him in his bed. Nymphadora stood in the doorway.
"Come to bed Remus." She murmured.
"I'm coming." Taking one last glance at his son, Remus left. As he entered their room, he saw his wife already drifting off to sleep. "Nymphadora, think, what would it be like when the kids enter Hogwarts?"
Before Nymphadora fell asleep she laughed and muttered.
"Pure hell."
FINIS, END, NO MORE……………………………….. OR IS THERE?
A final note: While I was writing this last chapter and giving the kids personality, an idea jumped into my head. Review your opinion to me or email me at AngelMillie@aol.com to say yea or nay to this. Should I do the plot line with the kids? Make them do what their parents grew up with? Plus their parents' antics as well. Well it was fun and great to finally get this fic done and finished. Love it hate it? If you hate it and review, I will merely shake my fist and flip you off.
