Thanks for those who reviewed!
I'm sorry for the cliffy, but I just love keeping you guys in suspense! And I'm very sorry for the long wait-I had a major writer's block. But thanks a million for the 26 reviews that I received!
Now, on with the story...
Harry rushed to the fireplace and Hermione rushed there also from the kitchen. Chelsea's head was on the fire place-and she was beaming.
"What's going on?" asked Harry.
"Ron and I have some news for you guys. We'll pop there in a second, ok?" said Chelsea happily.
"Uh...sure," said Hermione, puzzled. Once Chelsea's head is gone from the fire place, Harry turned to his wife and asked,"They're not pregnant again, are they?" Hermione raised her eyebrows, and they heard two pops and sees Chelsea and Ron and the boys.
"You're not pregnant again, are you?" asked Harry to his sister.
"Uh, no...Where did you get that idea?" asked Ron
"Never mind that. So, what's the news?" asked Hermione curiously. Chelsea held up her
hand, which was holding some kind of tickets.
"I've got four tickets to a weekend getaway on a cruise to the English Chanel. Interested?" she explained with a bright smile.
"Yes!" exclaimed Harry.
"No," said Hermione. Everyone turned to her with a puzzled look.
"Well, who's going to watch Tacey and the boys? And no, not Sirius. Again," she added after reading Harry's expression.
"Oh, I took care of that. Mum and Dad agreed to watch the kids. Don't worry, 'Mione, it'll be fun!" said Chelsea.
"Are we sure?" Hermione asked again. Harry grabbed her waist and pecked her cheek.
"We're sure," chorused Harry and Chelsea.
NEXT WEEK...
Tacey sat on her parents massive bed as she watched them rush back and forth packing their suitcase for the trip.
"When will you be back again?" asked Tacey. Harry smiled at his five-year-old.
"We'll be back by Sunday night," he said.
"Ok," said Tacey.
"And while at grandma's, we want you to mind your grandparents, alright? And mind the twins, too," Hermione said.
"THE TWINS? They're gonna be there?" exclaimed Tacey. Harry and Hermione stopped packing instantly and looked at their daughter.
"Yes, darling, didn't we tell you that?" said Hermione.
"You can't leave me with the twins for a weekend! Last time they ripped two pages from my coloring book!" exclaimed Tacey again.
"Well, last time was with Grandpa Sirius. You and the boys with be with Grandma Lily and Grandpa James, and I'm sure the twins won't rip anything out of yours, ok?" assured Harry.
"If you say so..." blurted Tacey. Hermione shuts hers and Harry's suitcase and sighed.
"Do you have everything for the weekend packed?" checked Hermione.
"Yes. Can I PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEAAASSSEEE bring my broomstick?" pleaded Tacey sweetly.
"For the millionth time, NO!" snapped Hermione.
"Why not!" yelled Tacey.
"Because you might injure someone or you might get injured!" said Hermione in her McGonnagal-voice.
"Urgh!" exclaimed Tacey. She storms to her room to grab her weekend bag.
AT LILY AND JAMES'...
Harry, Hermione, and Tacey arrived just as Andrew and Anthony was being changed. Lily approached them to give hugs and kisses. They talked for a little while, until it was time for Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Chelsea to leave. Thankfully the twins are asleep in their cribs, if not they might cry their hearts out.
"Alright, baby, be good, ok?" Harry said as he kneeled in front of his daughter. He kissed her forehead and pinched her cheek.
"Ok. Will you miss me, Daddy?" she asked.
"Of course, baby. Mind your grandparents and the boys, ok? I love you," said Harry again.
"Yes, Daddy. I love you too," said Tacey, kissing her father's cheek. Harry rose up and
picked Tacey up along with him.
"Will you be a good girl for Mummy?" asked Hermione to her daughter.
"Yes, Mummy. Will you miss me and be back as soon as you can?" asked Tacey to her mum.
"Yes, darling. I love you," said Hermione. She kissed her daughter's cheek and hugged her. Harry let her down and she hugged her aunt Chelsea and uncle Ron. Then it was really time for the four to leave. With four soft pops, they were gone. Tears started to fall from her eyes and she started to sniff. Seeing her granddaughter starting to cry, Lily took her hand and took the girl to the kitchen.
"Come on, let's not cry, ok? Mummy and Daddy will be back by Sunday night, ok? Now, want to help Grandma make dinner?" said Lily, trying to calm Tacey.
"Ok. When will Grandpa be home?" asked Tacey. She sat on the island stool in the kitchen.
"In about...one hour, possibly. Now. What do we want for dinner?" Lily asked as she started getting ingredients from the refrigerator.
"Lasagna!" exclaimed Tacey happily.
"Lasagna, eh? Alright, Lasagna it is!" said Lily. All Tacey could do was be happy for having lasagna.
Meanwhile, during the cruise...
After five or so years of no vacation for just the two of them, Harry and Hermione were ever so grateful. They took their times on "things" and was in paradise. They visited the sea shore, danced under the moonlight, went to a dinner theater, and more.
Days were going by so quickly, and before they know it, it was Sunday night already. The four packed their things in their rooms. In Harry and Hermione's room, the packing was interrupted by Hermione when she suddenly ran to the bathroom and puked. A very worried Harry ran to his wife.
"Honey! Are you ok?" asked Harry. Hermione answered with another puke. Harry slowly backed away to let his wife finish her puking. After 10 minutes, Hermione left the bathroom and Harry was sitting on the bed with two luggage. He got to his feet.
"You ok? Are you sick?" Harry questioned Hermione. She looked at him faintly and answered, " I don't exactly feel great. Come on, we've got to pick up Tacey." With a nod from Harry, they went out of their suite to find Ron and a pale-looking Chelsea.
"What happened to you?" asked Harry to his sister and brother-in-law.
" 'S nothing," said Chelsea weakly.
"Alright. C'mon, let's go," said Hermione and with four pops they were gone from the deck and appeared at the Potters' living room. Tacey was sitting on the couch with her Grandpa James and her teddy bear, which she had named Cocoa. She rushed from her grandfather's lap to her dad's arms. They all exchanged hugs and kisses and after a while they left to their own houses.
–FOUR WEEKS LATER–
Hermione woke up to find an empty spot next to her. She glances at the alarm clock and sees that it's already 10:58. 'Oh,' she thought.
Wait, 10:58?
"SHIT!" she exclaimed. She hurried to the bathroom. However, once she reached there, she puked again in the toilet. She got out of the bathroom and checked the calendar. November 16. And no periods for...four weeks? Oh, no. Oooooh, NO!
She decided not to go to work. Harry might already took Tacey to school (Hermione and Harry decided to put her in a muggle play school) and everyone's at work already. She brushed her teeth and took a quick shower and apparated to the nearest drug store. She quickly grabbed a pregnancy test and rushed to the counter until she bumped into a brown-haired woman who was also holding a pregnancy test.
"Hermione?" asked the woman. Hermione immediately recognize her, seeing the woman was her sister-in-law.
"Chelsea?" asked Hermione back.
"What are you doing here?" they chorused. They both held up the pregnancy tests and exchange knowing looks in their eyes. The cashier rushed them to pay and after they got out of the grocery store, they chatted.
"Does Ron know?" asked Hermione.
"No. Does Harry know?" asked Chelsea in reply.
"No." said Hermione,"Chels, can we...you know, take the test together? I'm really nervous."
"Sure. Come on," said Chelsea. They apparated to Hermione's house.
In the bathroom, Chelsea went first. She followed the instructions and waited for two minutes. After, she made Hermione look. Hermione only squealed and hugged Chelsea. Chelsea knows what it means. She's pregnant. Again.
Next was Hermione's turn. She nervously followed the instruction and waited for two minutes. So, as to followed the deal, Chelsea looked at Hermione's result and just hugged her. Hermione gaped at the result, not believing she was pregnant again.
"How am I going to tell Harry?" Hermione asked,"We said Tacey would be our one and only. Oh my...what am I going to do?"
"How am I going to tell Ron?" Chelsea said worriedly,"After the boys and everything! The boys are only three!"
"Lily,"said Hermione as calmly as possible,"We can tell Lily and ask her how she told James that she was pregnant with twins."
"Yeah. Mum. Oh, God, I'm pregnant! Again!" exclaimed Chelsea. They apparated to Lily's house in a quick second and found Lily in the kitchen.
"Hey, girls! How are you?" she asked casually as she hugs them.
"Lily, we meed to tell you something," said Hermione apprehensively. Lily's smile fades away slowly.
"Um...go ahead," said Lily, also nervously. Hermione glanced down at her toes and elbowed Chelsea softly. Chelsea looked up at her mother.
"Mum, 'Mione and I are...uh...we're...er..." stuttered Chelsea.
"We're pregnant again!" exclaimed Hermione and she started sobbing. Surprised, Lily hugged her daughter and her sobbing daughter-in-law.
"Hey, that's great news! Why are you crying? Hermione, look up to me, don't cry, sweetie," Lily said, trying to comfort Hermione. Hermione wiped away her tears and said calmly.
"Harry and I said that Tacey would be our only child. Lily, what am I going to do?" she asked her mother-in-law, trying to not cry again. Lily smiled at Hermione and Chelsea and took them to the family room. They sat on the couch and Lily conjured some cups of tea.
"Listen, girls. Having a baby is great! I mean, ok, Hermione. Tacey is five years old already. In six years she'll be off to Hogwarts. And While she's at Hogwarts, no one's going to be at home anymore. You won't have that 'Mummy, help me!' or 'Mummy will you read me something'. And you liked that, don't you?" asked Lily. Hermione smiled faintly and nodded.
"And Chels, honey, same thing to you. You don't want to be the only woman in your house, do you? You're outnumbered!" said Lily. Chelsea just smiled at the thought of having a daughter to accompany and be on her side.
"I need a girl, Mum," Chelsea said.
"There you go. And don't worry about Harry and Ron. I'm sure they'll understand. Just tell them as soon as possible and get it over with. Ok?" said Lily.
They chatted some more and finished the tea. They left to their own houses with much more relief.
–LATER, AT HARRY AND HERMIONE'S–
Hermione was in the kitchen, fixing up dinner. She heard a soft 'pop' and Harry's voice.
"I'm home!" he exclaimed,"'Mione, are you home? We have a parent -teacher conference today at Tacey's school in...one and a half hour!"
Hermione closed her eyes and breathed deeply. She went into their bedroom and give her husband a quick kiss and looked at him straight in the eyes.
"Harry, we need to talk," she said seriously. Harry became worried.
"Did I do something?" he asked.
"No, we did. Look Harry, there isn't any easier way to say this,"she breath in," I'm pregnant again."
Harry just took five seconds to digest the information and fainted.
–AT CHELSEA AND RON'S–
Chelsea was washing the dishes when Ron popped behind her. She jumped in shock and turns around to find her grinning husband.
"Don't scare me like that!" she warned.
"I'm sorry," he said, and then silencing her with a kiss. Though she was enjoying the kiss, she pulled away and sat him on the living room couch. She sat on his lap.
"Honey, there's something I need to tell you," said Chelsea nervously.
"Go ahead. Spill," said Ron. He was completely oblivious to the situation.
"Ok," said Chelsea. She closed her eyes and whispered,"I'm pregnant."
"What was that? I thought you just said that you're..." said Ron, but Chelsea cuts him.
"Pregnant, yeah," she said, smiling brightly.
"Uh..." said Ron, obviously shocked.
"Pregnant, honey. It means that you knocked me up and now there's a life growing inside of me," said Chelsea, still smiling.
"We're pregnant. Again. Oh, wow," he said, still in a shock manner.
"Is that a good thing?" asked Chelsea nervously.
"Chels, we're pregnant again! This is great! Oh, I love you!" said Ron excitedly. He kissed her passionately.
Ok. I'm very sorry to leave you here for this chappy. But here you go, for the people who wants Harry and Hermione and Ron and Chelsea to have more kids.
