Chapter 19: Teaching
Bailey and Draco arrived at Hogwarts the night before classes began and were given their own rooms since they weren't students anymore. Bailey was due in a week, and Madame Pomfrey assured Bailey that she had delievered babies before. The day that Draco had ran out of the house, he went and hired a decorator to re-decorate Malfoy manor. "So do you two want to know the sex of your babies?" Madame Pomfrey asked.
"Sure." Draco said smiling. "Wait did you just say babies?" Draco eyes went wide.
"Yes Mr. Malfoy, Bailey's having twins. I didn't tell her yet since she's sleeping. You're having a boy and a girl." Madame Pomfrey said handing Draco a potion to calm him down.
"I'm a father to twins? A boy and a girl?" All this information was to much for Draco to take. He was just starting to get use to being a father, but now he was going to be a father to twins.
"Yes, and when you tell Bailey, I wouldn't sound like I was near to insanity Draco." Madame Pomfrey said leaving Draco to tend to Bailey. Just then Snape and Dumbledore walked through the infirmary doors.
"So how did the check-up go?" Dumbledore asked.
"We're having twins, a boy and a girl." Draco said still sounding shocked.
"You don't sound like your to happy about that." Snape said looking over at Bailey.
"I-I'm definitly happy, just a little on the shocked side." Draco said fainting.
"I knew he wasn't going to handle the news very well. I guess it's better he fainted now and not in front of Bailey." Madame Pomfrey said helping Snape put Draco into a bed.
"Well it looks like Bailey is starting to wake up." Snape said looking over at Bailey again. Bailey was starting to open her eyes.
"What happened is Drake ok?" Bailey said getting up and walking over to him.
"He'll be fine, he just needed to take a nap. You shouldn't be worrying." Madame Pomfrey said.
"Cranky Pants, tell me the truth. Draco is not napping because if he was the two of you would of had to put him in bed like this." Bailey said looking Snape straight in the eye.
"I can't lie to you and you know that, that's not fair. Draco found out that you were having twins and the news just overwhelmed him. You're having a boy, and a girl." Snape said looking anywhere but at her.
"Oh, um, I think I'll go back to teaching now." Bailey said just as shocked as Draco was, she then left the Infirmary and headed to her Muggle Studies class. The week had gone by quickly and the students were now starting to talk about what the babies were going to look like, and what sex they were going to be. Bailey had to dismiss her class early because she had gone into labor.
"Harry, Marcus will you please tell Draco what is going on?" Bailey asked before they left the classroom.
"Sure don't worry about it." Marcus said running down the hall. Bailey had made it to the Infirmary just in time. Madame Pomfrey helped her get into a bed and started setting everything up. Draco had entered half way through the delivery.
"I hate you Draco Malfoy! How could you have done this to me!" Bailey started screaming. Draco looked at Madame Pomfrey shocked.
"Don't worry Draco all women say they hate the guy, they don't actually mean it." Madame Pomfrey said trying to get Draco to calm down.
"She's lieing I really hate you Draco." Bailey yelled again. She then momentarily forgot what she had said when she heard the cries of her first baby.
"Here's your baby girl." Madame Pomfrey said holding up the baby, Draco got to cut the cord, and wrap her in a baby blanket. He had just enough time to hand the baby over to Madam Pomfrey's assistants before the other baby started coming. This baby came out a lot quicker than the first one, though Bailey still shouted that she hated Draco.
"It's all over see, here's your baby boy." Madame Pomfrey said holding up the baby again. "Draco if you'll follow me, we'll clean up both babies while Bailey uses the shower over there to clean up." Madame Pomfrey said pointing at a door right next to Bailey's bed. Narcissa helped Bailey out of bed and towards the shower room.
"Thank you Narcissa." Bailey said getting into the room.
"No thank you, you've blessed me with two grandchildren." Narcissa said starting the shower up for Bailey. Back outside Draco helped Madame Pomfrey tend to his children, and then went to show his father, Sirius, Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall the two little babies.
"Have you named them yet?" McGonagall asked.
"No, Bailey's still getting a shower and we never agreed on anything before they were born." Draco said handing a baby over to Dumbledore since Lupin was holding Aidan.
"You all may come in now, everything's cleaned up." Madame Pomfrey said coming out. "Have you two come up with a names for your children yet?" She asked when everyone was inside.
"How about we name the boy after his father, and Draco can name the girl." Bailey suggested.
"We can name her Lily Michelle, after Lily and her mother." Draco said, handing his son over to Bailey.
