...CHAPTER 10...

Need You To Need Me

Harry

"Potter!" called the secretary witch who sat behind the clear desk in the lobby of St. Mungo's Maternity ward. Her bright blue eyes and bubbly attitude helped alleviate the nerves that had been slowly growing in the pit of his stomach. He actually supposed it was excitement rather than nerves, but it still felt like butterflies flying in his stomach. "Healer Kevin will see you now!" the witch said merrily.

Harry stood from his seat between Sirius and Ron and made his way over to a door on the other side of the room. Sirius, Hermione, and Ron all followed. Before they walked through the door the secretary witch stopped them. "Are you the baby's father?" she asked looking Ron up and down.

And without a moment's hesitation, Ron, Sirius, and Hermione said in perfect sync, "We all are." Before the witch could stop them, they walked through the door with Harry leading them.

The door had opened into a long, white hallway so clean that Harry could see his reflection in the walls and on the floors. As the small party walked down the hall a tall man emerged from the very last door on the right of the hall. The first thing Harry noticed about the man was that he wore the traditional baby-blue uniform of a maternity healer and that he was incredibly handsome. His dirty-blonde hair was styled in a lazy, wind-blown fashion that looked completely natural accompanied by tan skin and electrifying olive eyes. A small, gold nametag revealed that this handsome man was Healer Kevin.

"Hello, Mr. Potter," Healer Kevin said brightly in a deep baritone voice. "My name is Kevin, please call me as such... I hate formalities," he added with a warm laugh.

"Hello, Kevin," Harry said as he stopped to stand in front of the man who was at least a whole foot taller than him. "Please, call me Harry."

Kevin smiled and addressed Hermione, Ron, and Sirius. "Hello, you three must be the baby's fathers, yeah?" he laughed. All three of them nodded. "Well, I hate to rain on your parades, as the Muggles say," he chuckled, "but I will need to inspect Harry privately... Of course, if that is okay? Rules are, of course, meant to be broken."

Harry looked over at Sirius, who nodded his consent. "Just this once," Sirius said. "How qualified are you to be looking after my son?" he asked with eyebrows raised.

Kevin smiled and answered the question without scorn. "I've been doing this job for nine years, have had no complaints, studied potions under the best Potions Master in Europe, and graduated top of my class from several Healing shools, earning several Doctorate Healing Degrees specializing in male pregnancies... I'm the best man for the job."

"Impressive," Sirius said smiling. "Harry, we'll be out here waiting." Harry smiled and allowed Kevin to lead him into the door he had come out of.

Draco

It wasn't until Draco was lying in his bed at Number Twelve Grimmauld Place that the full meaning of everything Phineas had told him occurred to him. And as he sat pondering, three facts came to mind:

1. His mother and aunt were going to die, by his hands or someone else's. Their fate had been sealed the moment Phineas told him about the babies.

2. Harry was pregnant with twins. Draco's twins. Their twins... And it had obviously been his mother's fault that Harry decided to leave.

3. Harry must still love him. Why else would he leave? Why else would Phineas say that Narcissa could never find out he knew about the babies?

A small ache formed in Draco's chest when he thought about the last time he had seen Harry at the Three Broomsticks. Harry had been pregnant then... The mere thought of how close he had been to his future was enough to bring tears to his eyes. He wanted so badly to see Harry again, to tell him everything would be alright, to feel the small lives growing inside of Harry react when they heard his voice or felt his presence. He wanted to be there when Harry experienced cravings and mood swings. He wanted to be there for everything... But because of his mother he was not permitted.

A new determination to find his mother and aunt settled in the pit of Draco's stomach, in his very heart and soul... Narcissa and Bellatrix needed to be found...

But first, Draco needed to stop by Diagon Alley...

Harry

"Alright, Harry," Kevin said as he sat down in a roly chair. Harry waited to be told where to sit and studied the room he was in. It was clean and white like the hall but had bright pictures adorning the walls. They were of random Muggle artifacts and places. Harry laughed. "Just lay back on the bed for me," Kevin instructed before he followed Harry's gaze to the pictures. "The Muggle world is absolutely fascinating!" he explained brightly.

Harry laid back on the bed. "You remind me of Mr. Weasley," he said as he adjusted himself to get comfortable.

"Arthur?" Kevin questioned. Harry nodded. "Where do you think I got the pictures?" he laughed as he rolled his chair over to the bed and pulled his wand from a small holster around his waist. He placed the tip just over Harry's heart and whispered, "Cuore." A pale pink light came from the end of the wand and the sound of a heartbeat filled the room. Kevin smiled and said over the beating, "Your heartbeat is normal... Your pulse is fine... Would you like to hear the baby's heartbeat?" he asked. Harry eagerly nodded. Kevin smiled and moved his wand lower until it settled just below Harry's naval. Kevin moved his wand to the left and right before he smiled and held the wand still. Harry held his breath as he listened intently. After a few seconds another heartbeat filled the room and Harry almost started crying... Almost...

"Is it supposed to be that fast?" Harry asked in concern though a large lump was beginning to form in his throat.

Kevin laughed. "It is," he said simply. "Would you like to have a recording of it?"

"How?" Harry asked.

"I developed a small device that will hold up to five hours of any sound you wish to put on in it... In this case," he explained, "it'll be very similar to a portable pensieve. You just won't be able to go inside of it." He laughed again.

"I would love a recording," Harry smiled.

"It'll be my-" Kevin's smile quirked after he began to move his wand around on Harry's abdomen trying to find the best place to pick up the baby's heartbeat. This was certainly unepected...

Harry's smile fell in panic and his own heart began beating rapidly. "K-kevin?" he asked.

Kevin seemed to break free from a trance and his large smile was back in place, in fact looking bigger and brighter than it had before. "Do not worry, I was merely taken by surprise..."

"Surprise?" Harry asked loudly. "You nearly gave me a heart attack! Surprise? What in the bloody hell is that supposed to mean?" he ended yelling.

The healer simply laughed at Harry's angry tirade. He smiled even more when Sirius burst into the room and sent a glare his way. "What the hell did you do to Harry?" he asked angrily.

Harry blushed when Sirius came over and placed a firm hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry," Harry whispered. "I'm fine... You didn't have to come in."

"Pup, all we could hear was you yelling," Sirius said as he continued to glare at Kevin. "Now what could have possibly gotten you all worked up?" A dark look seeped into his eyes as he whispered his next question, "Is something wrong with my grandchild?"

Kevin pulled his wand away from Harry's stomach at last and stood. "Quite the opposite, actually. Nothing is wrong with the baby... either baby."

"That's good," Sirius said as his cheery demeanor returned. He laughed and patted Harry's unruly head. "I knew nothing could... be... wrong." And then Sirius Black passed out.

"Sirius!" Harry exclaimed as he started to get up. Healer Kevin laughed and pushed Harry back down.

"My check-up is not finished," Kevin said as he pointed his wand at the Animagus. "Aguamenti." A stream of ice-cold water shot from the end of his wand and hit Sirius in the face. The brunette jumped up with a shout.

"Damn you, Healer!" Sirius barked as he wiped his face with the sleeve of his deep purple robes.

"Sirius, are you alright?" Harry asked as he grabbed the back of his god-father's robes and pulled him closer.

Sirius laughed and turned before wrapping Harry in a wet embrace. "Alright?" he asked with a chuckle. "Twins!" he exclaimed. Harry felt a warm drop of water hit his shoulder and he knew that the Animagus was crying. "I should be asking you if you're alright. Are you?" he asked straightening up and wiping his teary eyes.

Harry beamed proudly up at him. "Never better," he said honestly. The news of carrying twins did not shock him now, not after seeing Hermione's bet... The bushy-haired witch never seemed to be wrong about anything... "Sirius, will you stay in here with me now?" Sirius beamed with pride and nodded his head yes.

"Very well," Kevin smiled. "I shall continue... Would you like your other friends in as well?"

"No," Harry said as he held Sirius's hand. "I'll them be surprised when we announce everything later. I'm sure everyone will be dying to know the bet's outcome..."

"Okay," Kevin said as he sat back down in his roly chair. "Harry, I'll need you to remove your shirt." Harry sat up and released Sirius's hand only long enough to remove his shirt. Sirius held it with his free hand. The two Gryffindors smiled down at the small baby bump. "If my hands make you uncomfortable in any way, do not be embarrassed to say so. I only find it more efficient to use my hands when working with patients. That way there is no room for harmful effects from magic- Not that there would be any," he said quickly to reassure the doubt he saw in the emerald and chocolate eyes before him. "Not with routine check-ups and the like... Moving on!" he smiled. Kevin's hands were warm when they gently touched Harry's stomach, right on his naval. They slowly put pressure on Harry's stomach as Kevin felt all around the small bump. His hands traveled around his sides and he poked and prodded the tan skin just above Harry's low-waisted pants. Strangely, Harry didn't even feel the least bit uncomfortable with the healer's hands touching him so intimately. It actually tickled as Kevin slid his fingers just beneath Harry's waist-line. Harry couldn't stop the laugh that escaped him.

"I see I've found your spot," Kevin laughed as he pulled his hands away.

"Spot?" Harry questioned.

"It has a wizard term, the Plesor," Kevin informed as he conjured a clip-board and began to write notes.

"It sounds like 'pleasure'," Harry said with a blush.

"Precisely," Kevin laughed. "The Plesor is a part of a pregnant witch or wizard who is with child. It-"

"-is a place where the pregnant witch or wizard's magic builds up around the womb. When touched, it is erotic and pleasing to the one with child," Sirius finished unexpectedly.

Harry was speechless and curious as to why Sirius knew that piece of information. Kevin smiled. "That's exactly right!" he said like a teacher who's entire class knew the answer to a complex question. His voice dripped with prideful enthusiasm and awe. "Not too many people care to learn the wizard term."

Sirius shook his head as if clearing it. He chuckled. "Well I don't know where that came from... But I suppose it will come in handy later."

"Why?" Harry asked with a smile.

"I can use it on Lucius later," Sirius said as his eyes darkened lustfully.

"Lucius Malfoy?" Kevin asked brightly. "You are the insufferable lover he goes on about all the time?"

"All the time?" Sirius asked darkly. "Why have you been with my Lucius?" he asked adding emphasis to the possessive adjective.

"Our families were close once. I've know Lucius for a large majority of my life! Who do you think confirmed his suspicoins about being with child?" Kevin said smiling.

"You seem to know everyone," Harry laughed as Sirius pouted. "Can I put my shirt back on? The room isn't very warm," Harry laughed.

"You may," Kevin smiled. "I shall send the recordings to you later this evening, or I can pass it off to Arthur if you do not wish it to be sent by owl. I'm not sure how long it will take to seperate the heartbeats so you will be able to hear each child's. I've never worked with a male pregnant with twins, hence my surprise earlier."

"Never?" Sirius asked.

"Actually," Kevin laughed, "Multiple births are extremely rare with male pregnancies."

"How rare?" Harry and Sirius asked together.

"Harry here is the first case in about..." the healer stopped to think, "two-hundred years... And you want the recordings sent to Arthur Weasely when I have sperated them?"

"That would be great," Harry said after a few seconds of baffled silence. Then he released Sirius's hand and put his shirt back on. Two-hundred years... Wow...

Sirius's mouth was slightly open in his shock as he made his way to the door with Harry in tow. Just as he turned the knob, Kevin stopped them. "Wouldn't you like to know the sex of the babies?"

Harry and Sirius turned slowly with equally beaming smiles plastered to their glowing faces. They eyed Kevin expectantly. The healer smiled and motioned for the two to come closer...

Draco

"Yes, this one will do perfectly," Draco said with a smile as he ran a hand over the smooth wood framing of his purchase.

"Whoever, might I ask, is this for?" the smiling shop owner asked as she gratefully accepted the money the blonde had given her.

"Oh, its a house-warming gift for my father," Draco answered shortly as he pulled his wand from his robe pocket. He conjured a small card with black, elegant script. He levitated it into the owner's hands. "Have it sent to this address, and leave that card attached to it in the off-chance that it will need to be returned," he ordered. "Have a good day," he said just be Disapparting.

"You too, lad," the store owner said with a smile as she set to work on preparing the blonde's purchase to be sent off. The boy's father would surely love it...
