Hey guys. I know it's been a while since I've updated, but I only had about a week between camp and school, and school has started so I'm just running out of time to do everything, so just know that there will be a bit of a slowdown in all my stories. Thank you for understanding (for those of you who do) and just remember, I own nothing but the plot. Enjoy!

Chapter Five -- Not Just a Wedding

Hermione is now three months along, and her and Harry are scrambling to finish their wedding plans in hopes of getting married while Hermione still would look decent in a dress (that's what she said, at any rate). They had many sleepless nights, but eventually getting it done, and everything bought, about a week before the date they had set; July nineteenth, a combination of their birthdays.

"Finally," Hermione breathed as she hung up the phone, just having made the last reservation for the wedding, "it's over."

"Not quite," Harry said, coming up behind her and pecking her on the lips, "we still have one little detail."

"And that would be?"

"The decorations for the reception?"

"Mrs. Weasley and Fleur are taking care of those. Mrs. Weasley is also doing the cake."

"Wow, you are good. Now, let's really test your memory. What time is your appointment with Healer Paean today?"

"Er…. Isn't it 2:45?"

"That would be correct, but what time is it now?"

Hermione looked at the clock and her heart stopped; 2:40.

"Come on!" she said, grabbing Harry's hand and pulling him to his feet as they prepared to Disapparate.

They appeared in the lobby of St Mungo's, just as Healer Paean came out looking for them.

"Hermione," she said in a businesslike manner, "you're late. Everything okay?"

"Yeah," Hermione panted; Apparating takes a lot out of her now that she's carrying an extra, "everything's fine. Just finishing up some wedding plans, that's all."

"Well, all right," Paean said, "Follow me to the room, and we'll check everything out, just to be sure."

They arrived into the room, and Paean immediately ran her wand all over Hermione's belly.

"This test will tell us if there's anything unusual going on, and it will also tell us the sex of the baby. Oh," she said in a surprised voice, as Hermione's skin glowed a light purplish color.

"What? What's 'oh'? Is everything all right? Is Hermione all right? Is the baby all right?" Harry asked, naturally worried.

"Everything's just fine," Paean said, smiling, "I just got a little surprised there. Hermione's just fine, as are the babies."

"It's okay, Hermione, everything's all right," Harry said, acting as though it had been his fiancée freaking out a few minutes ago, "You're fine. The babies are -- Wait. Did she say 'babies'?"

"You said 'babies'?" Hermione asked Paean, who nodded, "She said 'babies', Harry."

But her answer from her fiancé was a loud thunk! when he hit the floor as he fainted.

"Harry!" Hermione screamed, kneeling down next to him.

Paean knelt down on Harry's other side and took out her wand.

"Enervate."

After a few seconds, Harry began to stir, eventually opening his emerald eyes.

"Are you all right?" Hermione asked, helping Harry sit up.

"I think so," he said, rubbing his head where it had hit the floor, "but I had this weird dream where the Healer said we were having more than one kid."

"Er… we are."

"WHAT!"

"It's true, Mr. Potter," Paean said, "and from the looks of things," she gestured to the color fading from Hermione's stomach, "I'd say twins, maybe triplets, but I'd lean closer to only two. Do you guys want to know the sex?"

"What do you think?" Hermione asked Harry as they stood up.

"Well, it would make picking out names easier, but I'll leave the final decision up to their mother."

"Hmm," Hermione said, thinking, "I think we could do well with a surprise, so, no, I don't wanna know right now."

"All right, and since everything checks out, then you are free to go."

I know it's short, but it's better than nothing, right? I thought so.

Well, how 'bout I do a poll. What do you guys think; twins or triplets? Feel free to add in the sex combination as well, and names if have any (but please no James and Lily fraternal twins combination; that's what's in all the other Harry/Hermione pregnancy stories). Please and thanks. TTFN
