thank you everyone who reviewed! it's great to get some support...im glad
you're enjoying it so far.
I am afraid the literal tragic part is coming, but we get a good churn in the stomach at the end of this chapter! At least if you know the characters like I do!
I know this chapter's short, but I believe it ends rather appropriately. *enjoy*
yet again, i own only elizabeth and william...the rest are Jk rawlings'.

Chapter 2: Leaving
The next hour was based on getting Elizabeth and William fed, changed, and naturally, ready to be taken to the great hall. Minerva rushed about the room, filling up their diaper bags with anything and everything possible. There's only so much that you need to prepare for a good 2 hours with Poppy.
After all was taken care of, albus picked up his baby girl, and placed her in a 2-child stroller. Minerva also picked up her son, and placed him within the cart too.
"Okay Minerva. I think that's everything." Albus said as he stared about the lifeless room.
He looked in from the hallway, and then turned abrubtly to see Minerva with a not so happy expression. "Minerva, is there something wrong?"
"No." she said quietly "Just...a little pain." she said even softer
"Its probably a good thing that I'm taking you to the doctor today. if there's anything wrong with this child, we should know, or better yet, if there's anything wrong with you."
Minerva nodded, and placed her hands on the stroller. They walked down a flight or two of stairs until they reached the 1st floor. They walked silently towards the hospital wing, and Poppy's office.
They came upon the wooden door, and Albus knocked lightly on it. Poppy immediately came to the door, and had a smile on her face.
"Sorry we're late" Minerva inquired
"Oh its fine. You best hope that you're not late for your appointment. Goodness knows how patient doctor's are these days."
"Just be happy we didnt get stuck with a muggle one. Unlike last year, we at least know the doctor to a somewhat personally, of course it wouldnt be that way without your help" Albus said softly
"From what you two went through last year with all the baby madness, I couldnt see you having that much trouble again. Well, anyhow, why dont you come in, we can get your children situated."
Poppy opened the door, and Albus and Minerva followed in with the stroller. They entered a rather large room which contained a desk, a rather large table, and a nicely made bed.
Minerva walked in slowly with a vague expression upon her face. "Where do you want them?" she asked quietly
"Uh...why dont you just leave them there."
"Very well. Thank you for watching them." she said rather politely
"You're very welcome. Just come back with good news, okay?"
Minerva smiled at this comment. "I sure hope I do. I've worked too hard to keep everything going good for this to not work out."
"We should be going Minerva." Albus broke in
"Okay." she smiled
"I hope it all works out." Poppy spoke up
"Me too." Minerva said. She walked back over to her childrens' stroller, and planted a kiss on each of her childrens' foreheads. "I love you." she said softly to both the infants that lay before her.
She stood up again, and looked back over at Poppy. "Well, i think that's everything. they shouldnt really need anything, but if they start crying obsessively, an ounce each should work."
"I'll keep that in mind. Good luck."
At these words, Albus and Minerva said there goodbyes, and walked out the door, and through the castle. As they stepped out the entrance doors, Albus clasped Minerva's hand in his.
"Minerva, I have a question, and I would really like to know the answer to it. Please, promise me you wont lie."
She looked up at him, and stopped abruptly in that spot. "Okay. What is it?" she said, with a high tone in her voice
"Do you think that there is something wrong with the child? Do you honest to god think that this child is fine?"
she stared at his usually bright, and twinkling eyes. they werent bright and twinkling anymore. they were serious, and perhaps even cold. She took in a deep breath, thinking over what she was going to say.
"No." she said quietly "I dont think it is."
