I do not own Harry Potter or Criminal Minds.
"Hermione Reid?" a mediwitch called into the waiting room.
Hermione and Spencer stood from their seats and started walking to the open doors.
"Alright then Mr. and Mrs. Reid. My name is Sophie and I am the mediwitch for Healer Maple. I see on your records this is your first pregnancy Mrs. Reid. Is this correct?"
"Call me Hermione please. Yes this is my first pregnancy."
"Allrighty then let's go ahead and get some of your vitals down and then Healer Maple will be in."
With a few swishes of her wand Sophie gathered up the information she needed and jotted it down on Hermione's records and left the room telling them their healer would be in shortly.
Hermione sat on the exam table holding Sspencer's hhand as he stood beside her.
After there was a knock at the door a petite young women with long red hair walked in sand shook their hands.
"Hi there my name is Jasmine Maple. I am going to be your healer during your pregnancy. I see on your charts you used a muggle pregnancy test. Did you want to go a head and do the spell to confirm?"
"Yes please. I know they are reliable but they are not 100%. But we do not want to know the sex of the baby. We want to be surprised." Hermione said speaking to the young witch.
"Of course. Is there anything I should look for or be aware of before we do the test?"
"Yes" Spencer said "My mother is a paranoid schizophrenic. Is there a chance the baby could have it also?"
"Honestly yes. Muggle doctors have not been able to determine he exact gene that causes schizophrenia and I hate to say it but we are not there either. However there is a very small chance that the baby will have it, and by small I am talking about a 5%. Even though we do not know what causes it with magic I will be able to see if your child has it. Is there anything else I should know before I preform the spell?"
"During the war in England I was put under the cruciatus cruse. I was checked out later and told I was fine. But…" Hermione said trailing off.
"I understand. I thought I recognized you. I am muggle born. You were always an inspiration to me in school. Don't worry I can double check and I will make sure your baby is 100% perfect." Healer Maple said smiling. "Okay if there is nothing else, Hermione if you will just lay on back and lift for shirt so I can see your stomach and we will start."
Hermione did as the healer asked. Once her shirt was lifted she held on to Spencer's hand.
"Okay so since you do not want to know the sex of the baby I will just be doing a simple spell to confirm the pregnancy, then I can start double checking the baby's genes."
Healer Maple held her wand to Hermione's stomach. A small light started to shine from Hermione's womb. It gathered and then floated above her before it split into two.
"What's that mean?" Spencer asked the fear in his voice coming through. Both he and Hermione stared at the two balls of white light worried there was something wrong with their baby.
"Well, you said you wanted to be surprised and I guess you have gotten your wish. It seems you are pregnant with twins."
Hermione's jaw dropped as she stared at Spencer.
"Tw-Tw-Twins?" Hermione asked her voice shaking.
"Yup and from the looks of it they will fraternal twins."
Hermione and Spencer looked at each other. They had expected one child not two. Hermione looked at her husband. How would he handle this she wondered. Slowly Spencer's face broke out into a huge smile. Hermione let out a sigh of relief she did not know she was holding as Spencer's arms came around her.
They hugged each other in aw of the new lives they had created.
"So from the looks of it you are just under 8 weeks. And both twins are very healthy." Healer Maple said with a smile as she looked upon the couple. "Now Hermione I want you back in here in 2 weeks for a check up. And contact me if you have any concerns or questions."
"We will. Thank you Healer Maple." Hermione said breaking away from her husband to shake the hand of the healer.
"Honestly the pleasure is all mine. Without you and your friends I have no doubt Riddle would have made his way to this side of the pond." She said as she opened the door and walked out.
20 minutes later Hermione and Reid were walking to their favorite café. When Hermione first moved into Spencer's apartment they had been out for a walk and they found this little place called 'Josie's Imagination Café'. They decided to check it out and fell in love that first visit. The owner was an older lady named Temperance Degrassi. Temperance immediately took to the young couple as well and became a surrogate grandparent who insisted on being called just T.
"So do you still want to not tell anyone?" Spencer asked as the café came into his eyesight. "Because you know T will go crazy when we tell her. Between the twins and moving I don't know if she will be excited or upset."
"No we should tell. Healer Maple confirmed that everything is fine. I think we should tell. We can start with T then maybe invite our friends out to dinner to tell them all together." Hermione said as she clung to her husband. Hearing him say the word twins made Hermione deliriously happy.
Spencer held the door to the café open for Hermione and then followed her inside. They saw T standing at the counter talking to what to the couple looked like a new employee.
"Good afternoon T." Hermione said as she walked up to the counter.
T turned around. She was an older lady with hints of gray hidden in her dark brown hair. She almost reminded Hermione of her mother.
"Hello my favorite people in the world. How are you two doing? Oh by the way this here is my new girl April. She is from California." she asked
"oh nice to meet you April." Hermione said as the other women shook her hand.
April looked to be about Hermione's age. She had bright California blonde hair and green eyes.
"So your regular order?" T asked looking at the couple. "BLT on rye for the lady and a Ruben for Spencer."
"Yup that is us." Spencer said as he handed T the money for the order.
"Alright go ahead and have a seat and I will bring it right out to you." T said as she handed back Spencer's change.
"Oh we have something we wanted to talk to you about also when you bring the food." Hermione said with a smile.
"Okay It should only be a few minutes. Carlos is in the back. Have a seat and I will come right over."
Hermione took Spencer's arm as he guided them to their normal table in the café. He pulled out Hermione's seat for her and then sat down himself, while they waited to tell T the good news.
Twins! Yeah. So let's start a contest. I want to know what you think the sexes of the babies should be and ideas for names!
Also in case you don't know Temperance is the name of the main character on Bones. I had to do a shout out to that!
Don't forget to review and leave me your guesses and name ideas.
