Hi everyone. We actually are getting close to the end. Wow this was a much longer story than I thought it would be. I started will short chapters and ended writing something close to a novel length story. I just want to say to my reviewer THANK YOU.

I don't own Harry Potter and Co.

Thoughts will be indicated by ( )

AFTER THE FINAL BATTLE.

A few hours after the battle; once the remaining death eaters had been captured and taken to Azkaban; the school unlocked its doors. Harry and Draco hurried and made their way to the chamber to see their children. The twins were sleeping peacefully while Queen Adira was reading peacefully sitting in a rocking chair. When she saw the two young men she smiled and quietly left them alone with their family. Harry and Draco stood next to their cribs holding each other finally realizing that they were now free of the treat caused by Voldemort. They looked at their daughters sleeping forms and knew that they were finally free. They would be able to take their daughters and show them the world.

"Do you realize Draco that our daughters are four months old and have only left the chamber once to go to Molly's. I think it's time we took them outside to meet everyone."

"I agree but first I want a few days the four of us alone so we can enjoy the peace."

Harry took Draco's hand in his and smiled. He pulled the blond into his arms and kissed him. They made their way towards their bedroom where they planed to have a private celebration. They took their time at undressing each other. Once they were both naked they fell on the bed in a tangle of limbs. Both Draco and Harry took the time to bring the other to earth shattering climaxes. They loved with their hearts and soul. Later both men fell asleep finally sated from their encounter.

A few hours later they were awoken from their sleep by a knock at the door. Harry got up and put on some pajama pants and opened the door. Queen Adira and her sister Shara where each holding on to one of the twins while standing at the doorway. The little girls saw their dad and started to get exited. Harry laughed and thanked the two women; he took his girls in his arms and brought them over to the bed where Draco was still sleeping. He placed both the little ones in the middle of the bed and turned them towards Draco. A few seconds' later silver eyes met two little pair of eyes; one silver and one green and again the babies started making noise when they noticed that they had Draco's attention. Draco started blowing raspberries on their stomach making them squeal with delight.

Harry watched as his soul mate played with their children. He remembered a time when he tough he was alone in the world and though he wasn't loved. His childhood was one of sadness and pain and looking at his kids he promised himself that his children would know love and laughter throughout their lives. Draco noticed that Harry was quiet and turned to look at him. He saw the pensive look on his lovers face and got up to encircle him with his arms.

"What's wrong love?"

"I was just thinking on how different our daughter's childhood will be from ours. I've just realized that they will grow up in a world totally different from ours." Harry smiled while a tear made its way down his cheek. Draco wiped it with his finger and kissed Harry.

"Yes, we will give them a better life. When we finish our schooling we will go and live in the elven realm with Ron and Hermione. We will be a family and we will have the happiness that we always craved for. Now come and play with us. Look your babies want their daddy."

Harry looked up and saw that the two little girls were silently looking at them while they talked. Harry made his way towards the bed and lay next to them while Draco lay on their other side. The rest of the day was spent as family time and no one from the outside world intruded on their privacy. They locked the chambers and gave orders to the others not to come until they decided to have company. Draco and Harry came out of the chamber three days later with the girls to show them to the other students. It took Draco standing in front of hoards of people to answer all the questions about who and what they were. The newspapers were having a field day in writing the story about their saviors and their two adorable daughters.

The press wanted to talk to the others but the other three couples had made plans of their own but had given their words that once they were ready they would tell their stories too. So the press satisfied with those statements finally left the school.

Meanwhile Remus and Sirius were resting in their quarters. They could hear the celebrations going on around the castle. Remus was quite tired after having run all over the place to heal and help the wounded. He felt a stiffening in his lower abdomen and didn't think it would be anything to worry about. He was now in a hot bath that Sirius had prepared for him. Sirius was rubbing Remus' back while kissing his earlobe making the werewolf moan in pleasure. Both were sitting in the huge bathtub they had in their bathroom. Remus' back was against Sirius' stomach and the animagus was starting to get turned on with the situation. Remus tried to hide his smirk as he could feel Sirius' arousal against his lower back. He was happy that even in his very pregnant state he could still get those responses from his husband. Then a sharp pain hit him in his stomach making him gasp and hold his belly.

Sirius knew from instincts that something was wrong. Remus couldn't speak as another wave of pain hit him. Sirius quickly lifted him out of the tub and used a spell to dry him and dress Remus and himself. He carried his husband in his arms and ran to the infirmary. The infirmary was full but this did not scare off Sirius. He conjured a bed in a unused corner and started calling for Poppy to come and help Remus. Sirius also sent a mental call to his in laws. They might be able to help their son.

Poppy came when she heard someone yell out her name. When she saw Remus lying on the bed holding his stomach and grimacing in pain she knew that the time for the baby was close but he still needed to grow a bit more before he was born. She passed her wand over him chanting some spells. She was relived when she noticed that he was not in labor but had pulled a muscle in his stomach and it was being very painful.

She gave him a muscle relaxant potion telling him it was safe to take during the pregnancy. She wanted him to relax as the pain could really cause him to go in labor. Since the baby was still a bit too small to be born she told him she would everything in her power to make the baby stay were it was for the moment.

"Remus if we can keep the baby inside your for at least another three weeks then when he is born he will be big enough to survive. If he was born now he would have to be placed on a breathing machine since his lungs are not developed enough yet. But since the contractions have stopped I have a feeling that things will go well. Now I want you to stay in bed until the child is born." Seeing that the werewolf was about to protest the nurse gave him a firm warning.

"If you don't want to do this then I will have to sedate you so that your child can be born healthy. Is that not what you want?"

"Of course I want my child to be healthy but can't I stay in bed in my quarters with Sirius?"

Poppy realizing that she had jumped to conclusion quickly let the prince know that he could spend the rest of his pregnancy in his personal quarters where his family could take care of him. "Yes that will actually be better for you as you can relax better in your familiar environment. When you're ready to give birth then you can come here."

It was agreed that Sirius would use his portal to bring Remus back down to their rooms. Once the werewolf was comfortable in his bed, Sirius left to go to the werewolf realm to speak to his mother in law. She agreed to come and help take care of her son while her husband stayed behind to help the new members of their pack settle in to their new home.

After the battle, Ron and Hermione had decided that they wanted to spend a week alone and away from everything so they could have a honeymoon which they had not been able to have because of the preparation for the final battle. They had left everyone a note to tell them how to reach them in case of an emergency; but that if they didn't have to, not to bother them. They had left for the island of Hawaii. They had decided on a romantic getaway and had rented a secluded cottage on a private beach. They were happily playing in the water whey they got the news about Remus. After Sirius let them know that everything would be fine they decided to stay and have so more fun. Ron never really having been in contact with many muggles was having the time of his life observing them. He got plenty of souvenirs to give to his families. His father Arthur would love the new tools that he had found at one hardware store.

They spent their days exploring and their nights making love under the stars. Ron was amazed when his son kicked so hard that he was able to feel him. They had a few shopping sprees where they bought everything they would need for their baby and shrunk it to put it in their luggage.

After a week in paradise they had returned home to be told that Severus and Shara had the same idea as them. The potion master and his wife had left for an African safari and would be gone for another two weeks. Hermione laughed and said the Severus would probably take advantage of the different flora and bring back loads of potion ingredients.

The young couple made their way to the great Hall where they were accosted by many reporters just waiting to interview more of their saviors. Knowing that they couldn't get out of it they agreed to an interview. Afterwards they sent everyone a mental message to tell them they were back. Molly and the Grangers, who had been brought to the castle for their safety due to their connection to Hermione, were enjoying making a fuss over the pregnant vampire princess. Ron just rolled his eyes knowing that when his mothers started to fuss that there was nothing he could do but just sit back down and let them get their way. He smiled at seeing Hermione try to explain to her mother in law that she could still walk from their quarters to the great hall without having someone to watch over her, she glared at Ron when she heard him snicker.

In Africa, Severus and Shara where having the time of their lives. They had ventured deep into the jungle with the help of and local wizard guide. Severus had managed to get rare potions ingredients and a nice little surprise for Harry. A small green snake kept on following them. Using the pendant that Harry had provided to help them speak parceltongue to get into the chamber he asked the snake what he was looking for. The snake replied that he was looking for a master and friend who could take care of him. Severus offered to take him to Harry and Draco who were natural parceltongues. The little snake quickly agreed. Severus thought that he would make a great friend for Kiss the pet snake that the two Lords already had. Severus also found some rare gems that could be used in some rituals so he decided to bring them with him as a gift for Albus. He knew that the old wizard enjoyed gifts that were rare and mysterious. After two weeks into their trip Shara told him that they were going to be parents. Severus just looked shocked. Shara smiled and placed a finger under his chin to close his mouth.

"Severus, say something love; aren't you happy?" Shara was beginning to get worried. After all Severus never mentioned if he wanted children.

"I…I… I don't know what to say. I never expected to become a father, I don't know if I'll be a good father; after all I didn't have such a good role model." Severus took Shara in his arms and hid his face in her neck.

"Shhh… love, I know you'll make a great father. Just watching you with Draco already gives me an idea of how you will be with our son and daughter." Shara chuckled when she felt Severus stiffen in her arms.

"What do you mean with son and daughter?" He looked at her and saw her blush a little.

"Well love, I'm not exactly young for an elf. I'm six hundred and thirty three years old. I made sure that when we conceived that we would have at least two children in case that I can't carry anymore after this."

"What do you mean with 'can't carry more'?"

"Elves females can usually have children from their hundredth year to their mid seven hundredth. But we won't be able to have more until these are at least adults. And in the elven realm that means until they turn twenty five. My sister Adira was the exception to the age rule. As Queen she could bear a child at any age but only one."

Severus took the information in and sat down on a three trunk to digest it all. "So it will be at least another twenty six years before we can have other children?"

"Yes, since it is such a great responsibility to become parents we elves only usually raise them one at a time. Very rarely are twins born but it does happen."

They continued chatting about their future children throughout the afternoon. And Severus knowing that his wife was pregnant decided to tone down their trips. He met Shara's complaints with a stern face. After a few days she gave up on arguing with him and decided to follow in his lead and have fun for the rest of their trip just laying around the pool and enjoying the quiet time with the man she loved.
