A/N This is fast forwarded a bit.

"I feel like I am going to pop Mione." Blaise said as she sat on the couch in the living room at Malfoy Mansion.
"Well, at least you only have another month. I have three." I retorted as I sank next to her putting my swollen ankles on the table. We are sitting and waiting for the others to show up. Draco and I were having a party at our house. We have only been married for three weeks. Narcissa and Cynthia were on a trip to New York City, and Draco and I were bored. Even though getting 10 pregnant women together would be a large feat in itself. The boys were going to all go to a Quidditch game first, then come back here, but since none of us pregnant gals can apparate or floo, we were stuck traveling by slightly slower means.
"Is anyone here?" Laura called out. "I believe I am looking for a Mrs. Hermes and Mrs. Malfoy"
"We're in here Mrs. Baddock." I call out. Laura comes in to the room. She looks slightly more comfortable than I do. And she is only a few weeks less than me.
"I need to sit." She says. "My feet are killing me. And I feel like this kid is going to kick himself right out."
We both turn and look at her.
Blaise looks. "A him." Laura blushes.
"Yes, I found out this morning." She starts to smile. "That makes the tally for us three boys and a girl." Blaise is expecting twin boys, and I am expecting a girl.
"Well, I feel as if I have a Quidditch player in my stomach." I tell them as I feel yet another kick.
"Don't even bring up Quidditch players." Padma says as she walks in. "We just found out we are having a girl. Ernie still insists she will be a great Quidditch player. I am hoping not." We all laugh. Soon the rest of us are gathered. Hannah no longer looks the thinnest even though she has the longest to wait. Most of us are glad that we will all have children in the same year. We have a tally of six boys and seven girls, counting Alissa, but she will be a year ahead of the rest. Hannah and Terry are having triplets. When Hannah found out she was having triplets, we though she would have a heart attack. She was already mortified that she and Terry weren't married when they had sex. Most of us are starting to worry about the war again. After they retreated, there was an increase in Muggle attacks. Yet, suddenly it seems to have backed off again. That worries us the most. Most of the boys are training to be Aurors. Neville was offered a position in the Ministry, and Harry has received a few offers to play Quidditch. Draco is in Auror training as well. Which makes me worry even more about him. We all are finally gathered. We are a sight. We have all decided to have a joint baby shower today. We are sharing our final names for our babies as well. The presents are placed in front of each mother
I open one that is wrapped in silver and gold paper and is addressed to
Mrs. Hermione Malfoy and Caitlyn Nicole
Inside is a beautiful 18th century edition of Sleeping Beauty.
"Who gave this to me?" I ask as I hold it up.
Everyone shakes their heads. I turn the card over; there is no signature on it. I open the cover and see written in the same script
Happy Reading Mrs. Malfoy I hope that you and your daughter enjoy this story as much as your mother enjoyed reading it to you. I am looking forward to teaching Caitlyn in the future
Sincerely
Albus Dumbledore
I read the inscription out loud. The others have also opened their gifts from the professor. We were all given books. Lavender was given an original copy of Quidditch Throughout The Ages. We finish unwrapping the gifts. For some odd reason I received an awful lot of books. We all laughed about that.
"Hermione, this has your name on it." Lisa says as she tosses me a small box.
I read the card.
These were your mom's I thought you would like them.
Love Draco
I open the small box. Inside is a pair of diamond earrings.
"Wow." Laura says as she looks over my shoulder. "Those are beautiful."
"They were my mother's." I say as I put them on. "They match my ring." We finish cleaning up the wrapping paper. Alissa has fallen asleep next to Chloe on the floor. Susan slowly picks the baby up. She is the last one to go.
"Thank you for everything Mione." She says. "I've really needed a friend these past two years. You have helped me in so many ways." I reach over and hug her.
"No problem." I tell her as we walk to the door. Alissa moves in her arms. "You are like my sister Susan. I love being able to be your friend."
I shut the door as she and Alissa drive off. I go back into the living room.
"Hey Mione." Draco puts his arms around me. I sink on to the couch with him. "How are you feeling?" He asks
"I feel fat and my ankles hurt." I am blunt. He looks at me and smiles.
"You look great to me." He begins massaging my ankles. "Do you want a bubble bath?" He asks. He knows all of my weaknesses.
"That would be great." I say. He picks me up off of the couch.
"Then lets go take one"
