Chapter 3

Lucius and Hermione traveled for their honeymoon. Hermione stopping here and there to get her education inline just in case she was bed ridden in the late stages of pregnancy. They also stopped at a few doctors' offices to research the procedure better. After six months of fun and sex on exotic beaches they arrived back home to find Harry and Draco reading all of the pamphlets they had sent ahead.

'No sex for us for the week before? NO release?' Draco cried.

'Oh my, what a hardship. I thought you wanted children?' Lucius spat, 'I have to wear a condom or do a contraceptive charm on myself to make sure I don't accidently get her up the duff for you two. You know how much fun it is to always having to be prepared when I want to have spontaneous sex with my beautiful wife?'

'We did the monthly potion remember?' Hermione whispered into his ear, he winked as he spun around.

'He will not act like a prat when you are doing him this great favor.' Lucius snarled. 'And he doesn't realize all of the pills you have to take,' reaching into a bag and pulling out a bag that rattled of pills and threw it on the table with a thud, 'to make sure you have enough eggs and that your womb is good and health to carry two spawns?' Lucius was on a tirade, but after having to deal with Hermione's hormonal swings since the pills started he was sharing the mood swings with the boys.

'I'm sorry Mione I didn't know what you had to go thru to do this for us.' as Harry got up to hug Hermione. Draco followed his lead and apologized too.

'I'm sorry Mione, when do we start?' Draco said into the crook of her neck.

'When was the last time?'

'Um, this morning, just before all of the papers showed up.' Harry said.

'Good, we have the first appointment Monday. So you will be on standby, if they get some eggs collected then you two will need to come in. So hopefully only have five more days to wait. Can you do that?'

'Yes, Mione.' they said in unison.

'Where is our read material?' Harry looked over to Hermione.

'Oh he knows me all too well.' as she pulled a stack of books out of the bag.

'Are they marked as to which order we need to read them?' as Harry grabbed the first book. 'Oh yea here is the first one,' noticing the bookmarker in the top book. 'Yea, I think this might help us.' as he held up 'She is Pregnant what now.' The boys spent the rest of the week reading and asking questions. Surprising to Hermione, Draco had taken notes and really getting into the whole baby thing.

'Mione do you realize the egg is about the width of your hair?' as he pulled out a chart of size comparisons.

~o~

'Ok, Ms. Malfoy it looks like we will be harvesting eggs today, so we need to get the sperm here.' the doctor said as he put the ultrasound wand down. The day went by in a blur, Gringotts had found two female Goblins to supervise the egg retrieval and two Male goblins to follow the sperm through their trek. By that evening Hermione was about over Draco and Harry, they would not let her do anything for herself.

'Stop it! I can hold a book to read.' as she snatched the book from Draco.

'But the doctor said you had to take it easy so the eggs can attach properly.' Draco whined.

'I can't lift anything heavy, no running around. I can hold things smaller than 'The History of Hogwarts' ok? I can walk to the loo by myself, I do not need to be levitated every time or at least for now, when I get this big,' putting her hand out in front of her, ' I might need help but until then, I know you want this to work but...'

'You two go upstairs and shag. Work out all of that nervous energy.' Lucius interrupted Hermione.

'Please!' Hermione snarled. 'Yippie nine months of them is going to drive me batty.' Lucius chuckled.

The following Monday morning Draco came down with a grain of rock salt so he could compare to the babies growing inside of Hermione. She had finally calmed them down, they were less protective.

'I need you two to come up with two girl and two boy names each.'

'What? Why two?' Draco looked distraught at the thought.

'Well then you will be prepared just in case. I know Harry will go with Lily for the girl and either Sirius or Remus for the boys. And you Draco I can see Narcissa or Lucy and Severus or Tobias for the boy.'

'You're ok with using my mother's name?' Draco asked.

'Yes, it is tradition for the names in your family to be handed down the line, so I'm ok with it.'

'Hey I was going to put Severus on my list.' Harry spoke up.

'Well one of you use it as a first and the other use it as the middle. All I can say is I do get final say as I'm not yelling "Pumpkin Rosewater have a good year." across platform 9 ¾.' they all laughed.

'Fine we will think on it.' Draco and Harry spoke in unison.
