Chapter 17 Family Reunion Numeral Uno Two
Meagan sighed. She was home alone again, and was bored. Suddenly, she heard soft music coming from the living room. She raised her head off her hands slowly. It was the song "Hero." She blinked and walked out into the living room.
She walked into the living room, saw Harry, and laughed. He was wearing a man's blouse and pants with a rose in his mouth. Meagan was bent double (or as far as she could go) with laughter. It was quite the unusual sight…
"Is this our song?" Harry asked innocently, taking the rose out of his mouth. Meagan laughed harder. Harry took Meagan by the waist and started to dance. Meagan giggled and laid her head on Harry's shoulder. They danced for a few moments, and then Harry twirled Meagan around. Meagan gave a shriek of delight and let herself be steered by Harry.
Harry, not looking where he was going, hit the couch and fell onto it. Meagan, who was being steered by Harry, fell on top of him. Harry grunted. "Meagan!" He gasped, "I can't breathe!" Meagan, who had enough trouble trying to get up on her own, tried, and failed to get up. The sight of Meagan flailing her arms and trying to get up made Harry laugh.
The two laughed so hard that neither one could move. Meagan gasped for air, breathing in deeply. She finally rolled off Harry, who was semi crushed.
There was a knock at the door. Meagan went to get it, and saw that it was the mailman again. "This is your letter, but there is no mailbox." He said, this time he looked mildly angry, as this was the second time he had to knock.
"Honey, who is it?" Harry called from the living room. "The mailman!" Meagan called back. "Thanks." She said to the mailman, and shut the door.

"Another family reunion," Meagan said, totally bored as she walked through the party. Everyone always stared at her, and she didn't like it. She, for some reason, was waiting for another disaster. Mumbling, she sat down on a couch next to Harry.
"What's bothering you?" He asked Meagan. Meagan gave him one look and he fell silent. "Oooh." He said after a while. Then, he saw them. The triplets were running at them. Harry tried to stop them, but it was too late. They had launched themselves at Meagan and Harry, and landed right on top of them.
Meagan gasped. Harry looked horrified. What if…?
"Harry!" She wheezed in an oddly high voice. She was clutching his arm tightly. "It's coming." She said.
Harry fell off the chair. He, of coarse, panicked. "Quick!" He called, "It's coming!" He ran around in circles, all magical powers forgotten.
"Calm down, man!" Shouted Mark. He stamped his foot. "Get her in the car! Get to the closest hospital!" He yelled.

"Meagan! You weren't due for… months!" Dr. Johnson yelped. Meagan was breathing heavily. She glared. "I'm not your usual patient." She wheezed.
Harry, Mark, Kristina (Mark's wife), and Laura rushed into the hospital room with Meagan. Meagan was squeezing Harry's fingers and he had a look of absolute pain on his face. There was a cracking sound as his fingers broke. "Yeeeeeeow!" He hollered. Meagan screamed.

The rest of Meagan's family waited expectantly in the waiting room. They glanced at one another in worry. They quickly looked up at the series of popping noises that erupted from the middle of the room.
Marykate, Ron, Sirius, Lizzie, Cate, Bellum, James, Brynn, Bryce, Ethan, Ronda (Marykate's oldest), and Melvin (Marykate's other son) appeared in the room. This startled the nurse behind the counter so much that she fainted. Sirius, James, Ron, and Bellum all dashed for the room where Meagan and Harry were. Their poor wives had to the push and pull their children to follow.
They burst through the hospital doors to see Meagan being handed a tiny bundle wrapped in pink. She was grinning. Harry stood above her, also grinning, with his hand on her shoulder. He looked up at them and smiled wider. "It's a girl!" He said, "Crystal Claire Potter!"
Meagan wiped her sweaty brow. She caressed the baby's head. She smiled, her blue eyes sparkling. "Crystal Claire Potter…" She repeated. She leaned her head against Harry's shoulder, still looking at the child.
Harry looked into the baby's eyes. His eyes widened as Crystal's eyes changed slowly, but surely, to yellow… in shock. Meagan grinned up at Harry. Harry stared blankly at her. He looked back at the child. He looked back at Meagan again.
Harry groaned.
