I do not own Harry Potter or Twilight
This was supposed to be the end, but I guess I'll continue on since so many asked. Seeing as I thought this was finished, this is all I have written so it could be a while before another update.
Please Review.

Carefully unraveling his sleeping daughter from her blanket, Harry placed her on his chest so they were laying chest to chest then covered her back up. Yawning so wide that he felt his jaw crack, he snuggled down into the couch and closed his eyes to rest them just for a minute. It had been over five hours since he had given birth and over twenty four hours since he had last slept, if Carlisle didn't return home soon, he was going to pass out and miss seeing his reaction when finding out that he was now a daddy. This had been an extremely tiring and emotional day. Now he understood why they called the process of giving birth labor.
"In coming," Seth warned cheekily, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
All of a sudden Harry felt very nervous and a little scared. What if Carlisle didn't want children? He didn't count Edward, Rose, Alice, Emmett and Jasper, they were all vampires. Carlisle loved them like they were his own children, but they weren't and they were older teens, not a brand new little baby that would need constant supervision and raising. What if Carlisle got mad because of her and kicked them out? Where was he going to go? What was he going to do?"
"You and your over-dramatics. Carlisle is going to be shocked...that's an understatement actually, but he's is going to love her the second he lays eyes on her."
"Edward!" Harry cried, heart pounding in his chest. "You scared the shit out of me. You can't go popping up on people like that."
"I didn't pop," Edward said fondly. "I'm just so fast that you never saw me run in. I can't believe that you had a baby," he said in awe, dropping to his knees next to the couch so he could get a closer look at his new little sister.
"You and me both," Harry smiled. "Isn't she beautiful, Edward."
"Absolutely stunning," Edward answered, truly meaning it. "When I first started picking up yours and Seth's thoughts about the baby, I literally tripped over a tree root and fell flat on my face."
Giggling, Harry reached out and plucked a leaf from Edward's hair. "Where's Carlisle?"
Edward hovered his hand over the baby's head waiting for Harry to give him permission before touching her. "The rest will be here in about twenty minutes. Since I'm so much faster than everyone else, Carlisle asked me to run ahead. He's very worried about you."
"Go ahead, Edward, I know that you won't hurt her."
Never having touched something so small and delicate before, Edward carefully placed his hand on the baby's head and pushed her hat back so he could see what her hair looked like. "Oh, Harry, how could Carlisle not love her? He loves you so much and she is a spitting image of you. She's going to have him wrapped around her little finger...just like her mother does."
Sniffling, Harry rubbed at his eyes before he started crying tears of blood again. "You don't think he will be mad?"
"No,"Edward reassured without hesitating. One day he was going to hunt Harry's vile relatives down and slowly kill them. Even after all this time living with them and showing him what love was, Harry still doubted everything and didn't trust easily.
"Carlisle's coming," Edward smirked, fixing the baby's hat then stepping out of the way. Carlisle was beside himself with worry and he didn't want to be in the way when he came tearing in to get to his mate.
Harry barely had time to take a deep calming breath before Carlisle was at his side, nostrils flaring and eyes looking wild. "C-Carlisle?" he asked nervously, noticing out of the corner of his eye that both Madam Pomfrey and Bill had drawn their wands.
Carlisle was staring at the baby on his mate's chest taking in its sent but not really believing it. Both its scent and his vampire were screaming at him that this child was theirs. This tiny little baby wrapped in pink and purple was created by his mate and him. How was this possible?
Harry started to fidget nervously when Carlisle didn't answer him. His mate was just standing there like a statue staring at him and the baby
"Relax, Harry," Edward said, keeping his distance. Carlisle was always in control of his vampire, but right now it was trying to process what it was seeing and scenting and it was feeling extremely protective over his mate and newborn child.
Harry looked up at his mate and gave a tentative smile. "Surprise!" he sang weakly. "I finally figured out why I have been eating and sleeping so much."
Carlisle sank to the ground as if someone had just cut the strings that had been keeping him up. "Harry," he called out, his voice confused and filled with raw emotion.
Harry was so focused on Carlisle that he never saw the rest of the family that were standing there with their mouths gaping wide in shock. "I-I gave birth to her a few hours ago with Seth's help. It was my fault, she wasn't supposed to be born this early."
A single red tear escaped Harry's eye. "I was frustrated and pushing myself hard with my animagus training. I could almost see my animal when a horrible pain erupted in my side. After that I went to the joke shop to help out, but my stomach started cramping so I came home. As the hours ticked by the cramping started getting unbearable. I was so scared...I thought I was going to die."
"By the time Seth got here I couldn't even stand because the pain was so bad. He thought at first that it was my appendix and he tried calling you, but I guess you were out of reach. A few minutes later I pissed myself...well I thought it was piss, but now I know that it was amniotic fluid. Seth had wanted to call Sam for help, but I didn't want anyone to see me covered in piss. Then I felt like I had to shit really, really bad. Seth thought maybe it was just gas, like an atomic fart or something. He tried helping me to the bathroom, but the pain was so bad that I couldn't walk."
"Seth knew that I hadn't pissed my pants but I wouldn't listen to him. When he started smelling blood coming from down there he took my pants off to see what was going on. At that point I was in too much pain to care what Seth was doing to me. That's when he discovered the extra hole."
"Mangina," Seth corrected with a snicker.
Looking to Seth, Harry started to giggle. "That's so gross. Mangina sounds like a disease or a really, really bad super hero villain's name." Harry heard a few chuckles, but Carlisle was just staring unblinkingly at their daughter.
"After Seth discovered my mangina," Harry stopped talking for a second while Emmett busted out laughing. "He said that something was trying to come out of it. He said that he saw on tv where parasites live in people. He thought that maybe I had an alien parasite in me. Scared, I pushed and pushed and when it came out, I told Seth to step on it. In my defense, I couldn't see it and I thought that it was some horrible worm with big sharp teeth that was going to turn and eat me. That's when he told me that it was a baby."
Carlisle slowly tore his eyes off his daughter to look at his mate. It was going to take him a few minutes for everything his mate had just said to penetrate his shocked and frozen brain. "I don't even know what to say about that. Alright, let's just start with, are you alright?"
Sucking on his lips, Harry nodded his head. "I am now, but I was so scared earlier and I thought that I was going to die and never see you again."
Feeling gutted that he hadn't been there for his mate through a terrifying and painful ordeal, Carlisle leaned in a placed a kiss on his forehead. "How are you feeling." He was dying to get a better look at his daughter, but right now he had to see to Harry. Harry was putting on a great show of acting like everything was alright, but he knew him well enough to see that he was really shook up.
Harry wiped away a few more tears. "I'm still in pain, but Dumbledore went to get Sev a while ago and I'm sure that he can give me something for it. I'm also really hungry and dead tired. Other than that, I'm shocked, confused, excited, happy, and scared."
Plucking up the courage, Carlisle finally reached out and placed a hand on his daughter's back. It looked so huge on her, taking up her entire back and part of her bum. "I'm not going to lie, love, I too am feeling shocked, confused, excited, happy and scared. I'm also sad, sad that I wasn't here for you when you needed me, and sad because I missed the birth of our daughter. I feel like this is a dream."
"Would you like to hold her?" Harry asked with a loving smile. "It will help with making that dream feel like a reality. She also feels and smells really good."
"I would love to," Carlisle grinned, taking a seat on the edge of the couch. Staring at the slumbering baby, he couldn't help but to feel a little nervous. Yes he was a doctor who handled babies daily, but this was no ordinary baby, this was his baby...his daughter.
Gently cradling his tiny daughter, Carlisle knew that if it were possible he would be crying. Having children of his own was something that he never thought possible. He was a vampire, there was no way that he could father a baby. Harry hadn't cheated on him, he never even considered that for a second. The baby's scent was a beautiful mix of his mate's and his own.
Harry tried to sit up, but cried out softly when his stomach muscles protested. He was about to abort his attempt, but then Seth was there giving him a hand. "Thanks," he smiled softly. Leaning onto Carlisle, he rested his head on his shoulder and stared down at their baby girl.
"I can't believe all this time you have been pregnant," Carlisle said, his voice cracking with emotion. "Something could have happened. We didn't know to be careful. Just three months ago Seth was tossing you around in the ocean like you were a rag doll."
Harry looked up when a shadow fell over them. He grinned contently when he saw that Alice and Rosalie were taking pictures of them on their cell phones. "There was so much I shouldn't have been doing, the worst was portkeying twice a day and studying to become an animagus. She would have died instantly had I shifted."
"She's tiny, but she's a perfectly healthy little girl," Poppy said, speaking up for the first time. Everyone had been quiet in order to give the new family time to talk and bond without interruptions.
"I smell formula," Carlisle pointed out. "So she's human?" She had a heart beat and her temperature was that of a normal baby, but how could two vampires creat a human baby?
"Everything is pointing that way, but she will need close monitoring," Poppy explained. "She hasn't vomited up the formula yet so it seems like she can digest it. I don't know yet if she will need any blood, but I'm sure she will find a way to let us know if she does. I suggest weighing her daily."
"Do you think she's pretty?" Harry asked nervously, slipping the hat off her tiny head. He chuckled when she scrunched her face up and stuck her tongue out.
"She's absolutely breathtaking," Carlisle said, his heart melting. "I can't get over how much she looks like you."
"So...so you're not mad at me?" Harry asked in a small voice.
"Mad?" Carlisle asked incredulously. "Harry, whatever for?"
"For surprising you with a baby? We never talked about having kids since we're both vampires and guys, I thought that it was impossible. I just want to make sure that you want her."
"Harry, it's not like you brought a puppy home without asking and you can take it back if I say no," Carlisle chuckled. "I have always dreamed of having a baby, a blood child of my own. Don't get me wrong, I consider Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and Alice my blood children, but I didn't have the honor of watching them grow from infants to the fine young adults that they are today. Harry, you have given me a gift. More than that, you have made all my dreams come true."
Burying his face in Carlisle neck, Harry started sobbing. He was crying so hard that he could hardly breath.
"Rose," Carlisle called softly, "can you take the little one so I can see to Harry?"
Rosalies's eyes widened in both shock and longing. "Carlisle, I don't think I should, what if I hurt her?" She desperately wanted to get her hands on the baby, but she would die if she accidentally hurt her. She loved children, her greatest desire was to have a family of her own.
Carlisle gave his daughter a reassuring smile. "Rose, does her blood call to you? Do you have any desire to feed from her?"
"No!" Rosalie cried, horrified at just the thought.
"Then you will be fine. Please, Rose, Harry has been through a lot and he needs me."
"He's just feeling overwhelmed by everything," Jasper explained. "He's also exhausted and in a desperate need of a feeding."
"I'm sure his magic is also out of whack," Poppy added. "It spent the past thirty five weeks keeping the baby safe, it's going to take a while for it to settle."
Carlisle hated handing his baby over to Rose, he could easily sit and hold her all day and night, but Harry needed him more. He couldn't imagine how scared and confused his little one must have been as he was laboring for hours to deliver a baby he had no clue was inside of him. Once again he would forever be grateful to Seth for being there for Harry. He was starting to think that the shifter was Harry's guardian angel.
As soon as Rose took the baby, Carlisle went to pick Harry up to carry him to their room, but almost dropped him when he started thrashing.
"No!" Harry cried hysterically. "Can't leave her."
"Alright, Harry," Carlisle said, quickly given in in fear of hurting his mate. Harry was still hurting from the violent birth he had just hours ago. Retaking his seat on the couch, he flinched slightly when Harry bit harshly into his neck, his extreme hunger making him more violent than normal.
Grinning from ear to ear, Rosalie carried the baby to the other couch and sat down next to her mate. "I can't believe I'm holding a baby," she said hoarsely, choking up with emotion. "I-I never thought that I would ever hold a baby again. She's so tiny, delicate and absolutely perfect."
"She does look like a mini Harry," Emmett chuckled, touching a tiny hand that was poking out from the blanket. "She's beautiful."
"Edward, how is Harry? What is he thinking?" Carlisle asked in concern. He normally wouldn't invade his mate's privacy by asking Edward what he was thinking, but he needed to know how to help him.
"Nothing really," Edward answered. "He's already drifting off as he feeds. He's not even aware of what's going on around him."
"His body is giving in to the shock," Poppy added knowingly. "I had expected him to drop hours ago, but he has always been stubborn. I think he was waiting for you, Carlisle, you are the only person that he truly feels safe with. He can give in now because he knows that you will watch over and protect him and the baby."
"I would give my life for them," Carlisle said without hesitation and meaning it with all his heart.

It had been ten hours since he returned home and found that his mate had given him the most precious gift in the entire world...a baby. Even now after six diaper changes and five bottles, he still couldn't believe that he wasn't dreaming. He thought that his life had been made perfect when his mate had finally accepted him and bonded to him, but now as he stood by the window holding his perfect daughter as she slept, now he knew that his life couldn't get anymore perfect. He had everything he ever wanted and more.
Walking up to his father, Edward gazed down at his tiny little sister. He had lucked out an hour ago and finally got to hold the newest Cullen when Rose, Alice and Esme left to go on an epic shopping spree. It hadn't been easy making them wait until the stores opened, they had been chopping at the bit and pacing for hours. At least the baby had kept them occupied, along with planning the most perfect nursery.
"Harry's waking," Edward informed. "Right now he's trying to organize his thoughts, but I'm sure that as soon as he remembers giving birth, he will wake in a panic looking for her."
"No doubt," Carlisle chuckled, turning to look at his mate who was still asleep on the couch. "He's going to be very protective of her and very clingy. He probably wouldn't have fallen asleep without a fight if his body hadn't given out on him."
"I don't see him returning to school," Edward sighed.
"Nor do I," Carlisle said fondly. "I'm not going to fight him over it, not when Severus has already offered to tutor him with the help of his godfathers."
To say that Severus had been shocked when he returned home to find that Harry had given birth would be an understatement. Dumbledore had informed him that he was needed home as soon as possible, and as soon as he had completed his presentation at the potions conference, he had rushed straight home. After gaping at the baby for a couple minutes, he pulled himself together and went straight into healer mode. He had checked both the baby and Harry, who had slept through it without twitching a muscle, and declared them perfectly healthy. Harry would be sore for a few days, but Severus had potions that would help with that.
"I still can't believe that Harry had a baby," Edward chuckled. "If I would have been human, I would have broken my neck when I tripped after picking up on Seth and Harry's thoughts. I'm not joking, I literally fell flat on my face."
"I feel bad that I missed the birth," Carlisle said sadly. He would give anything to turn back time and witness the birth of his first child.
"Bill has those memories for us to watch," Edward reminded. "I for one can't wait for everyone to see them, they're absolutely hilarious." He had seen everything from Seth's memories and he had died laughing. He didn't know what was funnier, them thinking that the baby was a fart, or thinking that the baby was a parasite.
Carlisle headed back to the couch when he saw Harry start to move. "I can't wait to see them either, but only if Harry is comfortable with us seeing it. It was a very traumatic experience made worse by him not knowing what the hell was going on."
"It's fine," Harry mumbled, his eyes still closed. "It's embarrassing as all hell, but you deserve to see the birth of your daughter." Slowly prying his eyes open, he smiled tiredly up at his mate who was still holding their daughter. He didn't know why feared that Carlisle wouldn't want their daughter, that was very stupid of him.
"I can agree with you on that one," Edward chuckled.
Moving to sit up, Harry grimaced at how sore and stiff he was. "Why can't I be a normal vampire who doesn't suffer from aches and pains?"
Smiling, Carlisle handed Harry the pain potion that Severus left before leaving for his shop. "If you were a normal vampire, Harry, we wouldn't have been gifted with this little miracle."
"Well, when you put it that way, I would gladly suffer all the aches and pains for her." Harry quickly downed the potion anxious to get his hands on his daughter. He would have demanded her as soon as his eyes opened, but he had been too weak and sore.
"I take it you want this little one?" Carlisle asked with a smirk when he saw how desperately his mate was looking at the bundle in his arms.
Harry vigorously nodded his head. "Please, I need to make sure that it wasn't all a dream. I still can't believe that I had a baby."
"I feel the same way," Carlisle said softly as he handed his sleeping daughter over to his mate. "I knew there was something wrong with you, my instincts had been screaming at me for months, but I never would have imagined in a million years that you could be pregnant. I didn't even know that it was possible with wizards."
"She's so beautiful," Harry cried, his eyes tearing up. "Was she this beautiful yesterday?"
"She was," Carlisle chuckled, "but she has lost some of that newborn swelling and red splotchiness. Harry, she's one hundred percent perfect."
"Not yet," Harry frowned, staring thoughtfully down at his daughter. "But she will be once she has a name."
"I suggest picking a name before the women get back and start yelling out suggestions," Edward warned. "It could end in a fight."
"He's got a point," Harry giggled. "Do you have any suggestions, Carlisle?"
"I have been thinking on it all night, love, and I have no idea what we can name her. I was hoping you would have some suggestions."
Blushing, Harry dropped his head and shrugged his shoulders. A name came to him while he was dreaming but Carlisle and Edward would probably think it was stupid.
"No, Harry," Edward said, his voice cracking with emotion. "It's a beautiful name for her and it fits her perfectly. Even Rose and Alice will love the name."
"How about filling in the non mind reader and father of the baby," Carlisle joked, anxious to find out what his daughter's name was going to be.
"It's stupid," Harry mumbled. "You should name her, you're her daddy."
"Harry, it's not stupid," Edward scolded. "Just tell Carlisle, I promise he's going to love it."
Fiddling with his daughter's blanket, Harry looked shyly up at his mate. "I won't be upset if you don't like it, it just came to me while I was sleeping. Miracle...Miracle Lilyana Cullen.
"Miracle Lilyana Cullen," Carlisle repeated, trying the name out. "Love, it's perfect for our little miracle. Half the night we have been calling her a little miracle."
"Maybe that's where I got the name from? I heard you all talking while sleeping."
"No, Poppy placed a spell on you so you couldn't hear us," Carlisle explained. "You picked the name and it's perfect."
Harry's smile was blinding. "My mom's name was Lily and I wanted to honor her, but at the same time I wanted our daughter to have her own name. I figured Lilyana was close and I thought that it sounded really pretty and delicate."
"Are you going to call her Miracle or Lilyana?" Edward asked as he snapped a few pics of his dad, Harry and his little sister together.
"I think Miracle," Harry grinned happily. "When I think of all the stupid things I did while pregnant, I just..." Sniffling, Harry rubbed at his eyes. "She's just our little miracle."

"Harry, wouldn't you like a nice hot bath?" Rosalie asked anxiously, feeling like she was going to jump out of her skin. "Severus left you special potions to put in the water to help with all your aches and pains. I think a bath will feel incredible and help refresh you."
Kissing each of his daughter's soft little fingers, Harry smiled at Carlisle who was busy assembling a crib with Jasper's help. "A shower does sound pretty tempting," he snickered, knowing that the only reason Rose suggested he take a bath was because she wanted to get her hands on his baby. She had returned from shopping two hours ago and had been staring at his daughter ever since.
"I-I can watch Miracle for you?" Rose offered hopefully, dying to feel the baby in her arms again. Having a baby in the house was a dream come true for her. She desperately wished that she could have one of her own, but sadly that was never going to happen. It hurt horribly, but being a big sister to Miracle would help fill that empty hole in her heart.
Wrapping Miracle back in her blanket and putting her new blue baby hat with Purple Hearts on it back one her head, Harry decided to finally put Rose out of her misery. He really didn't want to hand his baby over, but he hadn't moved off the couch since he woke a few hours ago and he really was in a desperate need of a bath.
"What do you say, little Miracle, would you like to spend time with your big sister Rose?" Harry asked his daughter who was happily sucking on her pacifier with her eyes closed. She just had a feeding and a changing and now she was going back to sleep.
Handing his screw driver over to Jasper, Carlisle stood so he could help his mate up the stairs and to their bathroom. He couldn't believe that Harry was finally handing Miracle off to someone else, he hadn't let her out of his arms since he woke. He had spent hours just staring at her and studying every part of her. It was incredible watching his with her. It was also a turn on.
Placing a gentle kiss on his daughter's forehead, Harry handed her over to Rose whose eyes were sparkling happily. Unlike when he was little, Miracle would never be lacking for love. She had a big family who already thought the world of her and would do anything to see her happy and safe. Her family was going to double after the pack found out about her. He fully expected for them to be stopping by as soon as everyone found out about her. She was a luckily little girl who would never have hateful words screamed in her face, watch as her family ate in front of her as her little tummy cramped horribly from hunger, work like a slave every minute of the day, and be beaten just for existing. No, Miracle was going to be loved and spoiled.
It made his head spin to think that it was just less than two years ago that he thought that his life was coming to an end. He had been diagnosed with cancer with absolutely no hope of survival. On top of that, he had lost his godfathers and his best friends all that same day.
When he boarded that plane to America, he had no destination in mind. He was just going to run until his body gave out on him and he died. He would have rather died alone than at his relatives house where they would have been gloating and celebrating.
He still giggles every time he thinks about his first encounter with Alice and her box of condoms. It wasn't often that she got visions of him, mostly because he was always with Seth and she couldn't see anything when the shifters were involved, but he would forever be thankful that she saw him coming and wouldn't take no for an answer when she asked if she could help him. He couldn't imagine his life without Carlisle, the rest of the Cullens, Sev, and the pack.
It sounded corny, but he honestly didn't think that his life could get anymore perfect. Of course he had thought that way also before Miracle Lilyana decided to shock him with her unexpected birth. Now his life was more than perfect. He use to dream of the perfect family when he was locked away in his cupboard under the stairs, but his childish dreams didn't come close to the reality he was living now. Once again it sounded corny, but he felt like he was living in a fairy tail.
Beyond Carlisle, the rest of the Cullens, Sev, Seth and the shifters, he was also reopening his heart to his godfathers. He was terrified of getting hurt by them again, but he desperately missed them and wanted them back in his life. Despite the cruel words they spat at him, he never once stopped loving them. Spending time with them these past six months for his animagus training had been a lot of fun. He was ready now to allow them to be part of his life again, along with being grandfathers to his little Miracle.
He didn't know what the future was going to bring, he didn't even know if he was going to take the job at Hogwarts anymore. He had accepted it, but that was before Miracle. He didn't know now if he could leave her, even for only a few hours a night while she was sleeping, he just didn't want to miss out on a single minute of her life. It was definitely something he was going to have to think long and hard about and talk it over with his mate and Dumbledore. Right now he was happy...more than happy, and he couldn't wait to see what the future had in store for him and his family.
Whooping with excitement, Emmett came running into the room. "I can hear Seth coming," he cried. "We'll finally get to watch those memories and learn more about that mangina."
Groaning, Harry buried his face in his hands. "I think I'm going to drown myself in the tub."
