Author's Note: Sorry this took a while. Thanks for all the great reviews everyone!

Harry and Hermione followed Ron in the house. The baby he was holding continued to wail.

"Ronald? RONALD!" came the shrill voice of Mrs. Weasley. She came into the room with another baby.

"Oh! If it isn't the Potters?" She beamed at them before turning to Ron. "Ron, Kath needs a diaper changed and I need to get started on dinner." She handed the other baby to Ron who groaned and he balanced the two babies in his arms.

"Look you guys. Leila is napping. Can you take Jon?" Ron practically begged. Hermione walked over to Ron.

"Which one?" She asked, now that both babies were crying.

"This one." Ron said, shrugging his right shoulder. Hermione picked up the crying baby and held him close. He immediately stopped.

"Why is it always they stop crying when a woman holds them?" Ron muttered as he left the room.

"Wow. That was odd." Harry said, from the couch. Hermione walked over to the couch and sat down, cradling Jonathan.

"He's so cute." Hermione said. Jon's face was red from crying, but not as red as his hair.

"I hope our kid is like this." Harry said, leaning over to better look at the baby.

"Oh, she will be." Hermione said, flashing a grin at Harry.

"No, HE will." Harry replied.

"Whatever. It's going to be a girl." Hermione said matter o' factly.

"How do YOU know?" Harry said.

"I don't. I just want a girl." Hermione said.

"Well… I think its going to be a boy." Harry said, ending the conversation. "May I hold him?"

"Sure." Hermione said, handing the baby to Harry.

"Support his head." Hermione instructed.

"I know nothing about kids." He said, looking down at his best friend's son. "I'm lucky I have you as a wife." Hermione blushed. Mrs. Weasley then suddenly bustled into the living room.

"Where did Ronald go? He needs to bathe the twins."

"I hope you mean the babies." Harry said. Mrs. Weasley smiled.

"Of course I do, Harry dear. Fred and George have well moved out." She said as Fred and George walked through the front door and into the kitchen.

"Evening mum! What's for dinner?" Fred asked, giving a wave.

"Smells good. Hey Harry, hey Hermione!" said George, following his brother. Harry grinned at Mrs. Weasley.

"You two are most welcome to stay for dinner." Mrs. Weasley told the Potters.

"Thanks Mrs. Weasley." Harry said. Ron thundered back down the stairs. He stared at Harry.

"He doesn't cry when YOU hold him?" He said. "Bloody hell!"

"Ron! Language!" Mrs. Weasley called from the kitchen. Ron took Jon from Harry and went back upstairs. Running water and yells were heard minutes later. Harry and Hermione migrated to the kitchen. Fred and George were arm wrestling at the table.

"So Harry, what brings you here?" Mrs. Weasley asked, at the oven stirring a pot.

"Well, we wanted to see the twins-"

"Well thanks buddy! We love you too!" Fred said from the table.

"The OTHER twins." Hermione spoke up.

"They get all the attention nowadays." George muttered, struggling to keep his elbow up.

"And we wanted to just chat and catch up." Harry finished. Mrs. Weasley turned around and eyed Harry who stared blankly back.

"Right…. Don't worry, I'll find out later." She said, turning back to the stove. When the pasta was ready, and the babies had fallen asleep, everyone gathered at the table.

"So what's the occasion?" Mrs. Weasley started the conversation after serving everyone and sitting down.

"Well…" Harry started, seeing everyone's eyes turning towards he and Hermione.

"We're having a baby." Hermione said smiling. The table erupted in cheers and Mrs. Weasley began to sob.

"I knew it!" she said, wrapping Harry and Hermione in a hug.

"Thanks Mrs. Weasley. I'm about a month along." Hermione said, as Mrs. Weasley opened her mouth.

"You need more food than this!" She said, piling more meatballs on Hermione's plate. Harry reached under the table and touched Hermione's hand. She looked over at him and smiled.
