Chapter 25 Baby Names part 2
"What's that Baby? What do you want to name the babies?" Ron asked coming out of the dressing room.
"I want to name the babies Lizabeth Lillian and William James. Is that alright with you?"
"I love them and I'm sure Unci Remus… I just love that nickname… will be touched. How bout making him a godfather? Sirius and Harry too you never know there might be one more hiding in there." He said placing hand on her belly.
"Are you saying I'm fat?" he nodded with a wicked look at her as she smacked him. She laughed. " Do you really think that there are three babies in there? Great Wizards I don't know if I can handle three, two maybe, but three?" she looked overwhelmed.
"If that happened we can handle it your mother is here and Cate too. It will be ok." He hugged her.
"I know that. But Ron triplets… what do you mean if that Happens? Ron we are talking about almost 32 hours of labor for both of us. Or does that mean you don't want to have children?"
"Well, I was never asked about it. But…''
"But, but what Ron? In a little under a month these babies will be here. And I damn well am not having them alone nonetheless I am having them whether you like it or not. Now if you don't mind telling your family I am ill." She walked out of the room and the apartment.
"God damn it!" Ron yelled as he threw his tie. Why do I always say the wrong thing? She doesn't need this. There was a knock at the door.
"Ron you two coming?" Harry asked.
"Yeah give me a minute. Come on in Harry, Emilie isn't coming we had a fight. I'm to tell Ma that she's not feeling well. Why do I always do that? Well lets go. We can talk later." Ron and Harry left the apartment.

Emilie walked as fast as she could towards Hagrid's hut. She was thinking about what Ron had said. "I was never asked about starting a family." Ok so he didn't finish the sentence but he didn't want a family. She knocked on the door. Fang barked but no one answered.
"Hagrid? Are you home?" she shouted as her back started to ache. Yet no one was there. She started to head back to the castle when she decided to head on over Hogsmeade. She knew that she should be walking, but she hated Floo power, and she wasn't allowed to fly. She pulled her cloak tighter against her belly. It was freezing but she still walked. The ache in her back intensified. When she got to the Three Broomsticks she walk in and spotted her large friend.
"Hi Emilie. Are you 'spose to be walking so far?" he asked. She sat down.
"No but… Oh, Hagrid Ron and I had a fight. It seems that he is having second thoughts about having a family. Caitlin was renting a room in town and it seems that since I am not going to the dinner I would like company… I'm feeling crappy would you get her for me. Please?" Emilie asked.
"Alrigh' I will but Emilie ye owe me." He grinned as she laughed. After he left she went to an empty table and sat down. Madam Rosmerta came over to get her order.
"Can I get you something dearie?" she asked.
"Umm a tall glass of OJ if you have it?" Rosmerta nodded then left to fill the order. When she came back Cate was coming in. Emilie waved her over and Cate sat down.
"So you had a fight with Ron? What was it about, Hon?" Emilie placed her hand on her belly.
"This." She said simply.
"He's not ready to be a father? Oh Hon! He's scared. Think about it men crumple when they get hit in the manly area. He doesn't know what it's like to hold the baby right after its born…" Cate trailed off.
"Cate? Would you be willing to be a godmother to one of the babies?"
"Oh Emmy Rae I'd love that. Have you decided on names yet?"
"Yes. Ok don't tell Remus but even though Beth and William are gone I want them to live on in my daughter and son. I have decided on Lizabeth Lillian and William James."
"I love them I'm sure Beth would be honored. Remus will be moved beyond measure." Sirius walked in and came over to the table.
"Caty… Emmy what are you doing here?" I thought Molly was having dinner at the Burrow?"
"Can we go back to your room, Cate? I'm not feeling so swell. Then you can tell Sirius about what I just said. I am going to take a nap." They got up and paid for the drinks that had come then left. After the older adults got Emilie settled Cate told Sirius what happened.
"The poor girl I mean to be told about a month before she delivers by the man she loves no less that he is not ready to have kids." She said.
"Caitlin… I think that the delivery date just went up a few weeks more like now. My water just broke." Emilie had come back in the room. Cate went into action.
"Oh dear Merlin! Sirius go and boil water get towels and my sewing kit in my bag, then I want you to go get Ron and the others. Lily and James are about to be grandparents." She went to Emilie and led her to the chair, "Sit down Hon. That's it I'll go and get Poppy. No I am not going anywhere. That's what Floo is for."
~*~*~
"She thinks that I don't want the babies. But Harry I'm just scared. What if there are three babies in there? How are we going to manage it?" Ron was telling his father, Harry, Remus, and James about the fight.
"Ron I was just as scared when Harry and Emilie were born. But the moment I held my son and daughter all those fears went away." James told him.
"Ron! Come in here please!" his mother yelled from the kitchen. When he got there Sirius was pacing the length of the kitchen.
"Ron! Oh thank Merlin you are here. Emmy has gone into labor. She walked to Hogsmeade and ran into Caty and myself. We all went to Cate's rooms and Emmy went to take a nap. Not five minutes later she comes out and says that her water had broken. I was ordered to come and get the family. Not everyone but just her husband, brother, his wife, mother, and father. Oh Remus too. They went to St. Mungo's." When Sirius stopped Ron immediately apperated to where Emilie was. Harry looked at his father-in-law.
"Isn't a bit early for this? Emmy is only 8½ months along. What if something goes wrong?"
"Harry? What's going on where did Ron go?" James came into the room.
"Dad grab Mum and Remus, Emmy is having the babies. Your going to be a grandfather." Harry said, as James turned pale.
"LILY! Come on dear were going to St. Mungo's. We are going to be grandparents. Remus come on I guess Emilie wants you there too. Well let's get going. Molly Arthur Grandparents! We are going to be GRANDPARENTS!" Lily came in just as James started to faint.
"Not again. He did this when I told him that you and Emmy were coming. James get up you big goof. We've got to go. JAMES snitches." Lily said as James jumped up.
"Wha- where are the snitches?" James asked looking confused.
"St. Mungo's come on. Emmy. Babies. Now. What a Christmas gift." Lily said trying not to laugh. The rest of the combined family Apperated to the hospital to await the arrival of the newest Potter-Weasleys.
