Hey everyone. Here's the next chapter of my story. It's kind of silly. I hope everyone enjoys reading it. I enjoyed writing it. Here are some reviews I wanted to talk about:
Lourdes, Thanks for saying that about my story. Well, as silly as it sounds, it was a Christmas miracle and well I couldn't kill off Ginny. I think my reviews would kill me if I killed off Ginny! LOL I'm glad you think I'm handling the rape issue will, because that was my goal with this story. I know I should have done more research on HIV, but you'll see Ginny doesn't have really HIV. They just thought she did. Thanks for your review and suggestions.
FantasyIsMyLife, Yes, that was a sweet chapter. I'm glad you liked it and I will update soon.
Andrea, That's
ok. I know ff.net can suck sometimes. It's been acting really weird lately.
Sigh. LOL You know you don't have to leave a review every chapter. Oh, who am I
kidding? Yes, you do! LOL JK
You're welcome. I see you're happy about that. hehe I really didn't like Percy,
either. He is a jerk. LOL I'm glad you thought George and Fred were funny. I
know, I couldn't make the babies sick.
I guess you're happy with it turned out, huh? LOL I am glad it seemed really,
because it was funny and I was afraid it might not seem too real. Poor Ginny.
She deserved a girl. No, it's not the end. I got too much left to write. There
will be sequels. Yay! hehe It's ok. We all obese over something.
I was afraid the Dumbledore part would seem stupid, but glad you liked it.
You're too sweet. In the book it says he had auburn hair. That's a type of red.
Yeah, Narcissa was a meanie, but she loves her grandbabies.
Someone will die in the end. Why does everyone want Harry dead? What did he do
to everyone? LOL You will see them in the new house soon.

much. I'm glad you love the fic. You're one of my favorite reviewers. Awe,
you're welcome. I love you, too! hehe Thanks for leaving such a nice review.
Hillary, That's ok. You shouldn't call people names you don't know, though. It's rude, but I forgive you, because you saw the light of your ways and I think if people ask for forgiveness they should be forgiven. I'm glad you like how this is turning out. Thank you for the review. I'm glad you changed your opinion of me and my story. =)

* Dobby: Big review! Biiiigggggggg review! LOL *
Thalia, Great! Someone who says Hello? That is always a sigh of friendliness. Not. Wow, too bad you're not trying to be bitchy, because you sure are doing a good job of it. Not to be mean, but you're making me sick.
I do know a lot about sexual abuse and rape. One of my friends was raped and I was molested. So, don't tell me what I do and don't know! You're not me. You don't have the memories I have or the nightmares I have! So, don't act like you do. I know everyone goes through something different with rape and sexual abuse, but I don't think you know anything about it and I think you are insensitive. Second of all, I think you need to learn to um... What the word? Oh, yes, read. The rape was not a plot twisit. It's a fictional story about someone who gets rape and learns to deal with. I did it to deal with being molested and to teach people to cope. Too bad a ignorant person like you is too stupid to get my point.
By the way, because you don't know a lot of things, there is a thing called being civil. It's not being mean or nice. It's just stating your opinion like a normal person. Oh, well, too bad that level of thinking is too high for you.
It's funny you bring up my other reviews. Don't be a flamer, because I have some fans. I didn't do this for the fans. I did it to teach people. It's also funny you bring up betas, because your review sure needs one. In closing, take a look in the mirror before you comment on others. Also, people who live in glass houses should not be throwing stones.
Hmmm? Reality check? I got one for you. Don't be jealous and flame people because they get nice reviews, don't tell people to get betas when you can't even write a review, DON'T tell me or anyone else what did or did not happen to them, and take a class to get less ghetto. Now, that's the reality. Now, be gone! Please don't review here anymore.
Learning To Cope
Chapter 15
It had been a week since Ginny, the twins, Draco and Harry had moved into the new estate. It was really big. Christopher and Monika were very beautiful, but they weren't letting their mommy, whose room they slept in, get any sleep. It seemed as if they favorite game was who can scream louder which they played for hours straight.
Ginny laid in her bed eyes wide open as Christopher and Monika wailed. She got up and walked over to them. "Why can't you two be quiet? Don't you ever sleep?" she asked hysterically.
They just cried louder in response. The door opened and Ginny turned around. Draco came in and said, "Still crying, huh?"
"Yes!" Ginny said and started to cry herself.
Draco hugged her tightly. "Relax, Ginny. It'll be alright," Draco said.
"They just won't stop crying. I haven't slept in three days. Either I'm changing them, or feeding them, or they're just crying!" Ginny said feeling on edge.
"Look, why don't you go lay in my room? You'll barely hear the crying," Draco said looking at her.
"What about the babies?" Ginny asked.
"I'll take care of them," Draco said picking up Monika.
"I don't know," Ginny said unsurely.
"Look, she's not crying anymore," Draco said looking at her.
"Beginner's luck. Let's see you get Chris to stop," Ginny said knowing Chris was the whiner of the two.
Draco put Monika back in her crib and took Chris out of his. Slowly, he rocked him as he kept crying. A few minutes later, he stopped.
"You're really good with him," Ginny said.
"You are, too. I just think they wanted their daddy," Draco said and smiled.
"Do you want to spend the night with me here? So, if they want you again you could…" Ginny said smiling at him.
"I don't know. Maybe you should sleep in my room. It's quieter in there," he said.
Ginny looked down and said, "They're sleeping. Aren't they so darling when they're not screaming bloody murder?"
Draco laughed and said, "They sure are."
Ginny went into her bed and said, "Spend the night here. I think the babies just wanted their daddy to hold them."
"Yeah, they know how wonderful I am." Draco teased and laid next to Ginny. She pulled up the covers and cuddled to him. He held her tightly.
"That aerobics class you're taking is paying off," he said as he held her. Her stomach was much leaner. Almost the size it was before the twins. Her breasts were bigger, though because they were filled with milk to feed the twins.
"Thanks. A week more and I'm back to normal size," Ginny said resting her head on his shoulder.
"You don't have to go anymore. I think you're perfect now. I think you were perfect before. I love you. No matter what size you are," Draco said.
"You do?" Ginny asked surprised.
"Yes, I love you because of who you are. No matter what size you are I think you're beautiful. It doesn't hurt that you are gorgeous, though." Draco said and kissed her cheek.
Ginny stroked his cheek and said, "Remember that morning before our babies were born and I told you I was in love with you?"
"Yes," Draco said softly trying not to cry. He wished it had been real. He wished that she had truly loved him more, but he was not the love of her life.
"What made you think I didn't mean it?" Ginny asked and tucked a piece of his long hair behind his left ear.
Draco shivered at her touch. It was cold and soft. Like silk. "I just knew you loved Harry more. You and him were meant to be. I loved you, so I let you be with the person you loved," he said.
Ginny kissed his lips softly. Draco refused to kiss back. He knew he wouldn't be able to control himself.
"You treat me so good. I feel wonder around you. Honestly, sometimes, I wonder if I really do love Harry more," Ginny said.
"You cut that out," Draco said.
"Why?" Ginny asked.
"Because I don't think Harry would be too happy if he heard this," Draco said.
"Why do you care what he thinks? You used to hate him," Ginny said.
"I care because he loves you and you love him, and he's a part of my children's lives," Draco said honestly.
"I love you. You're my bestfriend," Ginny said resting her head on his chest and feeling asleep.
"I love you, too. You're the love of my life," Draco whispered softly so she couldn't hear him before he feel asleep himself holding her.
Early in the morning Draco was woken up by a loud screaming noise. He pulled away from Ginny and up. He turned on the lights and saw Christopher crying. Gently, he picked up his son and said, "Shhh. You'll wake up mommy and your sisters."
Christopher just wailed louder and looked at his mother. Draco cheeked his diaper and said, "You're not dirty. Well are you hungry?"
Christopher stopped crying as if to say yes. Holding his son tightly, Draco woke up Ginny. "What time is it?" Ginny asked.
"It's six am. Chris is hungry. Feed him. You have breasts, I don't," he said sitting in the bed.
Ginny looked at him crossly and said, "You know there are bottle with breast milk in them in the 'fridge."
"Sorry," Draco said sheepishly.
"It's alright," Ginny said and unbutton her top. Draco turned his back to her and she said, "Since when are you shy?"
"I just thought you wanted some um… privacy." Draco said.
Ginny cradled Chris in her left arm and touch Draco with her right arm and said, "You can watch if you want. It's just our baby eating."
Draco turned around and watched as his son feed from his mother. Ginny cradled the baby in her arms. "Does that hurt?" Draco asked looking at them.
"No, it tickles." Ginny said.
Christopher pulled away and Ginny said, "Somebody's full."
"Do you want me to put him back in his crib?" Draco asked.
"No, I have to burp him first," Ginny said rubbing his back and patting it. Chris let out a burp and Ginny handed him to his father.
"You can put him back now. He'll probably sleep for a little while longer," Ginny said.
Draco put his son back in his crib and Monika woke up. She started to cry. He picked her up and sat with her in bed. Ginny took her and she stopped crying. "Just wanted momma to hold you, huh?" she asked.
The baby looked up at her as if to say yes momma. "Who's the most beautiful girl in the world?" Ginny said looking at her daughter.
"She is," Draco said and rubbed her tummy.
Monika cooed and gurgled loving the attention. Ginny kissed her head and said, "Wanna sleep with momma and dada tonight?"
Monika gave a little yawn. "Are you sure we should let her sleep with us?" Draco said.
"Yes, I've slept with them before. Actually, I sleep better when they're close to me." Ginny said.
"Why don't I get Chris and we'll have a little slumber party?" Draco asked.
"Oh, yes, get him." Ginny said holding Monika tightly.
Draco took his sleeping son out of his crib and went in bed with him. "He's so cute when he's asleep," Ginny said.
"Yeah, he's defiantly the whiner of the family," Draco said.
Ginny looked down and said, "Oh, look. Monika is sleeping, too."
Draco yawned and kissed her forhead. "Good night, Ginny," he said before falling asleep.
"Good night," Ginny said and kissed her forehead before falling asleep herself.
Three hours later, Ginny woke up. She looked around and saw the most precious sight in the world. Draco was asleep with the Chris and Monika cuddling to him. Ginny gave each of them a soft kiss on the head before getting up. She went into the bathroom to shower.
Ten minutes later, Draco was a woken by the crying of the twins. He picked them up and checked their diapers. They were cleaned. He got up and carried them to the kitchen. He put them in their high chairs and got out bottle from the refrigerator. Draco was tempted to use his wand, but he knew he would get in trouble. So he boiled so water to heat the bottles in.
Fives minutes later, Harry came down. "What's all the noise about?" he asked seeing the twins both red and crying.
"They're hungry. Ginny's probably getting cleaned up. So, I'm heating up their bottles," Draco said.
"How long have they been in the boiling water?" Harry asked.
"About five minutes," Draco said.
"Well, we better keep them in there long. Like maybe five more minutes. No one likes a cold breakfast," Harry said.
The two of them waited five more minutes as the babies wailed their little lungs outs, before taking out the bottles.
"Wow, it sure is hot." Draco said holding a bottle.
"Yeah, think it's warm enough for the babies?" Harry asked.
"I reckon so," Draco said.
Ginny walked in and said, "Why are my babies crying?"
"Oh, they're hungry," Draco said.
"Why didn't you feed them?!" Ginny asked her maternal instincts setting in.
"We were waiting for the milk to get warm," Harry said.
"How long did you wait?" Ginny asked calming a little.
"Ten minutes," Draco said simply.
"You boiled the bottles for ten minutes?" Ginny asked temper flaring again.
"Yeah. We didn't wait long enough did we?" Harry asked.
"You two geniuses nearly scolded my two babies' tongues!" Ginny screamed.
"We didn't mean to," Draco said honestly.
"Oh just be quiet," Ginny said picking up both of her babies. She went into the living room and nursed them.
"We really missed up, huh?" Harry said.
"You can say that again," Draco said.
A few minutes later, Ginny came in holding the twins and said, "They're both feed and burped. They'll need a change of diapers soon. Can you tow handle that? Or should I skip my aerobics class this morning?"
"No, no. You go. Everything will be fine here," Draco said taking Monika. The truth of it was, he knew he didn't know as much about babies as Ginny did, but he didn't want her to miss her class. It was the only break she got from the babies all day.
"Are you sure?" Ginny asked unsurely holding Chris.
"Yes. Now, go," Draco said smiling.
"Yeah, we'll be fine," Harry said taking Chris from her.
"Alright, if you're sure." Ginny said and grabbed her purse before walking out of the door and leaving Harry and Draco alone with the babies.
Harry checked to see if Ginny was gone before saying, "Why did you say that for? You know bloody well we don't know how to take care of them."
"Well, first of all, Ginny needed a break. All she does is watch them. Second of all, don't curse in front of my kids. Don't listen to Harry. Potter's just a potty mouth," he said to the babies.
Harry laughed and said, "Ok, ok. You've made you're point, but do you know how to change a diaper? I don't."
"Well, no, but it can't be that hard, can it?" Draco asked. Harry give him a cynical look.
"See, this how you learn things. By doing them. Trial and error," Draco said.
"All I know is we better do it right, or Ginny will kill us when she gets home," Harry said.
"Very true," Draco said walking into the living room.
"Where are you going?" Harry asked following him.
"Just here," Draco said putting Monika in the enchanted playpen. It was just like a muggle playpen in looks, but it rocked, levitated, and played music when the babies inside cried.
Harry put Chris in the playpen next to his sister and said, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to leave them here while I eat," Draco said.
"Who's going to watch them?" Harry asked.
"You," Draco said.
"Why me?" Harry asked.
"Because it was my idea. Look, I make my breakfast and eat while you watch them. Then, I'll make your breakfast and you eat while I watch them," Draco said shrewdly.
"Fine," Harry said sitting on the couch.
"Thanks," Draco said and went into the kitchen.
Harry looked at the two babies. They were both sitting up and having what seemed to Harry a staring contest. He laughed and said, "Having a staring contest, eh?"
Both babies looked at Harry. He smiled at them. Which seemed to hold their attention for two seconds before they went back to looking at each other. Harry wondered what it was like. To be so close to another human being. To have a sibling. Sometimes, he wished he had a brother or sister. "You two don't know how lucky you are to have each other," Harry said.
It was if Monika understood what she said and put her tiny hand through one of the holes. She cooed and opened and closed her hand. The motion she made when she wanted to hold something. Harry kneeled down in front of them and said, "What do you want, Mon?"
Monika gave a few whimpers and tried to grab for his hand. Harry put his hand within her reach and she wrapped her tiny little chubby hand around one of his long fingers. Harry leaned down and kissed her hand. "Wanted to hold hands, huh?" he asked smiled.
She just gave a little sigh and blinked. Chris pushed his hand through one of the holes and made the grabbing motion. Harry put his other hand in front of Chris and Chris wrapped his tiny thing hands and fingers around Harry's long fingers. It was if the two understood him and said were saying you can be our brother.
Harry smiled at them and said, "I love you both," and give both of their little hands a kiss. They both gave him wide smiles.
Draco came out and said, "You can eat now."
"No, it's ok. I'd rather stay here," Harry said.
"Want me to bring in your breakfast?" Draco asked.
"Sure that'd be nice," Harry said.
Draco came in with a plate of scrambled eggs and two slices of toast. He placed the food on a small table. Harry saw it and said, "Thanks."
"Welcome," Draco said and sat on the couch.
"Sorry you two, but I have to eat my breakfast," Harry said as he kissed their hands again and pulled away. They both looked at him sadly.
"You're good with them. They like you," Draco said looking at the sad twins.
"Yeah they're sweet," Harry and said and took a bite ok his breakfast, "Hey! Good eggs."
"Thanks," Draco said getting up and taking out two teddy bears. One was a golden color with red robes and a lion on it. Gryfindor was written on the back of its robe. The other was black with a green robe and a snake on it. It had Slytherin written on it's back.
"Where did you get those from?" Harry asked ask as Draco stood by the playpen.
"Oh, Dumbledore give them to us as gifts for the babies," he said holding the stuffed bears above the babies. Monika liked the black one and tried to grab it.
"No, no. Honey, this is a boy's bear." Draco said pulling the black one out of her reach. Monika started to whimper. Wanting to touch the black one.
Harry looked over at them and said, "I think she wants to play with the black one."
"She can't," Draco said.
"Why not?" Harry asked.
"It's a boy's bear," Draco said.
"So?" Harry said.
"Girls shouldn't play with boys toys," Draco said as if it were some known law of the universe or something.
Monika just cried louder and Harry said, "Maybe you can just let her play with it for a little while."
"No, here Monika. You play with the Gryffindor bear," he said handing her the golden one and Chris the black one.
All was quiet for a moment and Draco said, "See, that was a girl toy and she liked it better."
The twins looked at each other. Chris gave the black one to his sister and snatched the golden one. Monika gurgled as if to say thank you.
"Isn't weird how they act?" Harry asked watching them play together.
"Yeah, they're really smart," Draco said smiling.
Just then, Chris started crying. Draco picked him up and said, "What's wrong?" Draco looked inside his son's diaper. "Somebody's wet," he said.
"It isn't me. I swear I don't that anymore," Harry teased.
"One of us have to change him," Drac said.
"You do it. I'll assitast," Harry said.
"Assitast means you'll do nothing," Draco said.
"Exactly," Harry said smiling
Draco placed Christopher on the couch and said to Harry, "You get a diaper."
"Alright," Harry said and got up.
Draco took off his jumper and undid his diaper. He pulled down the front of the diaper and Chris peed all over his face.
"Uck!" Draco said once his son stopped.
"What happened?" Harry asked handing him a fresh diaper.
"Chris piddled on me," Draco said.
Harry laughed as Draco wiped his son and powered him. Draco put the new diaper on him and said, "Good as now. Just don't piddle on daddy anymore."
"I'll watch him while you clean up," Harry said holding the baby.
"Thanks," Draco said and went to the bathroom to clean up.
Monika looked at Harry holding her brother and whined. She was jealous of all the attention her brother was getting. "Want me to hold you, too sweetheart?" Harry asked Monika.
She cooed and stretched out her arms. "Alright then," Harry said and picked her up. He cradled Monika in his left arm and Christopher in his right.
Draco came out and said, "You're really good with them."
"I know," Harry said in mock boastfulness.
"C'mere you," he said picking up his son. Monika was sleeping in Harry's arm. He cradled her with both arms and said, "She is so beautiful."
"I know she looks just like her mom," Draco said.
An hour later, Ginny come home sweaty from her class. "Hello!" she said closing the door. There was no response and she panicked. She ran into the living room and saw the one the cutest things she had ever seen in her whole life. Draco and Harry had fallen asleep on the couch holding the babies. Ginny giggled and said, "Guess I missed nap time."
