Chapter 17

"How's my girl doing?" Arabella asked walking into Adora's hospital room.

"She's doing better," Ron smiled a sad smile. "That's not saying much though…I'm in a really tough predicament."

"What love?" Arabella asked sitting on the other side of Adora's hospital bed, sitting across from Ron.

"The pressure on her brain is really building, but it's odd it's gone down a bit the last twenty-four hours. There is a medicine that they want to give her to bring her back…"

"So," Arabella shrugged. "Let's give it to her."

"There's only one problem."

"What is that?"

"She's pregnant and the medicine will kill the baby."

Arabella's eyes blinked as she shook her head, "Repeat that."

"Adora is pregnant and the medicine will kill the baby."

"Oh Merlin," Arabella fell into a chair. "Well…well what are you going to do?"

"I have no idea."

"Well the call is up to you, correct?"

"That's what I figured since I am her fiancé, but now they are saying it is you. You were the last guardian she had before she turned of age and the two of us are not married yet."

"Oh Merlin."

"What do you think we should do?"

"Ron, I honestly don't know." Arabella said running her hands through her long blonde hair. "I thought planning Roselyn's third birthday party would take up my day and now this."

"I have no idea what to do."

"How far along is she?"

"Three months."

"Oh Merlin."

"That is how I have been feeling."

Arabella nodded and then she spoke, "We don't even know if she truly wants to keep this baby."

"She didn't even know she was pregnant," Ron said stunned that Arabella would be speaking like this after losing Jason and almost losing Roselyn.

"Exactly."

"What if they do abort the baby and bring her back and then she is angry because I let them take the baby? She calls off the wedding, then what?"

"I know Adora eventually wants to be a mother but not now. The two of you just got engaged, you aren't even married yet . Even though she isn't exploring the world to find out more about her Seer powers, I know she wants to help out the Ministry with her Seer powers."

"What if she is ready to have a baby with me and we don't know? I can not believe you of all people are saying to get rid of the baby to save Adora."

"Don't you want to keep her?"

"Yes…"

"Then this is the only way to save her and the two of you could always have more children."

"Did anyone say that to you and Sirius? Huh? Did someone try to convince you to give up Jason?"

"Well…"

"Yeah," Ron nodded. "I would like you to leave now."

"But…"

"Go!" Ron yelled and Arabella didn't want to upset him anymore so she did as he had asked.

Adora was now walking into a house she recognized but just couldn't put her finger on it, and then she saw him.

"Harry!" Adora yelled with delight as she ran up to him and gave him a huge hug, "Oh how I missed you so much!"

"Huh?" The man in front of her looked very confused but did seem to recognize her,

"Wha…what are you doing here?"

"I am guessing that I finally woke up!" She put her hands down on her abdomen and looked up at him in curiosity, "How is my baby?"

"Uh…"

"Who are you talking to in there," came a female voice and a woman walked into the room with red hair. As the woman walked into the room, "What is she doing here?"

"But…wait…" Adora's eyes grew huge, "If you are who I think you are." Then she turned to the man she had been talking to, "Then you must be."

"Lily," another man walked into the room but Adora recognized his voice. "What is James going on about out here? Who in Merlin's name could be here?" He saw the young girl in front of him and his eyes filled up, "What are you doing here?"

"I have no idea," Adora whispered as she was now looking at her deceased father.

"Anthony," Larissa ran into the room. " Where is Lily?" Then she saw her youngest daughter, "Adora?"

"Mum?" Adora's eyes filled up with tears.

"Adora," Larissa said walking across the room and took her youngest daughter into a bone crushing hug. "How I have missed you."

"I missed you too," Adora cried into her mother's shoulder.

Anthony soon joined in the hug with his wife and daughter, "I missed you too." Adora said looking up at her biological father.

"As I have you," Anthony said kissing her on the top of her forehead as they stood their in this hug.

"Hey, hey." J ames said walking up with a smile from one ear to the other, "Give the kid some space. She needs to finally meet her big brother."

"Oh Merlin," Lily rolled her eyes from across the room. "I swear that ego never seems to deflate.

"What is going on in here?" A female voice asked walking into the room and Adora almost screamed to see another member of her dead family.

"Narcissa?!" Adora asked breaking out of her parents hold.

"Adora!" Narcissa looked a bit scared, but excited too. " What in Merlin's name are you doing here?"

"I don't know."

"I have got an answer for you," Cassandra Gryffindor said popping into the room. "Our sweet Adora is in a bit of a mess."

"Let's sit down," Narcissa suggested and they all did so.

"There was an attack on all the children at Arabella's Manor."

"Bella?!" Sirius asked eyes bugging out.

"Yes," Cassandra said putting her arm out. "Let me explain. Autumn Lewis, Queen of the Death Eaters, and all her Death Eaters attacked the Manor. Everyone is okay, except for Adora. The babies were all brought to Hogwarts with a very pregnant Ginny, but the rest of the kids are all banged up."

"So what's wrong with Adora?" Larissa asked stroking Adora's hair.

"She has entered into a very deep coma."

"St. Mungo's must have a potion that they can give her to bring her back," Narcissa demanded.

"Of course they do," Cassandra nodded. "There is a problem though."

"What?" Anthony asked.

"The medicine could kill the baby."

"What baby?!" James yelled in a very big brother like way.

"The baby that Adora is pregnant with."

"Oh love!" Larissa said with tears in her eyes as she hugged her youngest daughter, "I

am so proud of you. It is Ronald's isn't it?"

"Of course," Anthony said smiling from ear to ear. "Really Larissa who's else would it be?"

"It is Ron's," Adora blushed.

"This is the boy you are getting married to, right?" James asked frowning.

"Of course it is," Lily said shoving her husband in the shoulders. "You know Ron. That would be Harry's best friend and Ginny's brother."

"Yeah," Adora frowned. "How do you guys know all this?"

"That's easy," Sirius said smiling.

"We watch down on all of you all the time," Narcissa said to her little sister.

By the look on Adora's face Sirius began to laugh like crazy, "Well not everything. Not that."

"Eh," James's nose curled up. "Real gross Padfoot."

Cassie cleared her throat and went on. "St. Mungo's can not administer this medication because it will kill the baby."

"Oh Merlin," Larissa gasped.

"So I have sent Adora to you," Cassie nodded.

"Oh no!" Larissa gasped.

"No, no." Cassie shook her head, "Adora is not dead…yet. I need all of you to push her on to fight for her life."

Bridget and Oliver were setting up in the ballroom for Roselyn's third birthday party. Susan had come by earlier and picked Roselyn up to have a play-date with Breeanna and Lily until the party. Arabella had called Susan last minute and asked her to please take Roselyn for a few hours. There was something going on at St. Mungo's with Adora's condition and Bridget and Oliver were decorating for the party. Bridget was refusing to let Roselyn see because she wanted it to be a huge surprise. Remus was doing something with the Order and a few ministry jobs thanks to Arthur Weasley.

"Doesn't this take you back?" Oliver asked smiling up at his young wife.

"Huh?" Bridget asked as she waved her wand to make the streamers dangle just right off of the rafters.

"Don't you remember?"

Bridget scratched her head and shrugged, "Not really but I have been fighting the dark forces almost since I have been a Potter. So what are you going on about?"

"Well we met through your sister right?"

Bridget snorted, "Yeah because you fancied her."

"Only because Harry pushed me into her."

"Aww come on," Bridget winked at her husband. "My sister is hot and you fancied her, but she turned you down for the stunning Draco Malfoy."

"You never grow up do you?"

"No," Bridget stuck her tongue out. "Then life would be boring…as it was when I was a slave to Zambini!"

"Thank Merlin that hell is over, right?"

"Of course," Bridget laughed. "I feel free…I feel like me again. I haven't really felt like this since…"

"Since the summer we were doing just this, decorating for Harry and Susan's sweet sixteenth?"

"Yeah," Bridget looked at him shocked as though he had just read her mind. "I mean I felt wonderful in Vegas with you, but I haven't been so care free since then. Wow that was a long time ago."

"Very long time ago," Oliver nodded. "We both fancied one another but would not admit it. One I was too old for you."

"I was to cute for you."

Oliver rolled his eyes, "Ego like a Potter."

"I am a Potter, through and through." Bridget stuck her tongue out maturely once again.

"That you are."

"Mama," little James Potter said rubbing his eyes crying as he wobbled into the nursery that roomed twins Nicholas and Nicole.

"Shh love," Ginny said picking up her twenty-three month old. "The babies are sleeping."

"Babies," James's eyes got huge as he looked over his mother's shoulder to see the two identical white cribs. Only one was wrapped in all blue and Quidditch things, the other one was all pink with ballerinas.

"Yes babies," Ginny smiled at her eldest son. "Are you a baby?"

"No," James said looking outraged at his mother. "I big boy!"

"Shh!" Ginny said walking out of the room with James on her hip as she closed the door and performed a baby monitor charm. Now no matter where Ginny went in the house she could hear the babies the entire time around her. "What was wrong love?" Ginny asked as she could now use a normal voice as she went downstairs with James.

"Nightmare," he sniffled.

"I thought you were up early from your nap. What kind of nightmare?"

"Mean lady came after me and told Desi to shoot me with stuff out of fingers."

Ginny sighed, another nightmare about the fight with the Queen of the Death Eaters. James had been having these often now, in fact since that very night.

"Baby want some ice cream?"

"Who you talking to?" James frowned.

"Sorry," Ginny smiled at him. "Big boy want some ice cream?"

"Yeah!"

Ginny carried him into the kitchen and set him down in his booster seat as she fixed him some ice cream. This was the only way she could get his mind off of those horrible nightmares.

A week after the attack, Ginny had brought this up to Arabella. Arabella told Ginny not to stop his dreams, just to let him keep having them until the went away. He would have to go through this and that Ginny could not always protect him. Honestly this was starting to get a bit ridiculous.

"Love, I'm home." Harry's voice came from the front door.

"We are in the kitchen," Ginny yelled back.

Harry came walking in and smiled to see Ginny stroking James's red hair as he ate ice cream and then he looked at Ginny oddly. "Ice cream again?"

"Yes," Ginny sighed.

"We might need…"

"To go see a Healer at St. Mungo's to see how to treat this? That is exactly what I was just thinking about. I am trying to avoid St. Mungo's like Dragon Pox right now."

"I know," Harry nodded. "What's for dinner?"

"Spaghetti," Ginny sighed. "Too tired to do anything else."

"That sounds fine," Harry yawned. "Long day at the office."

"You are home early though."

"Because I told Moody there was no way I was staying any longer today. Tired, want a nap."

"Don't sleep too long we have Roselyn's third birthday party to go to today."

"I totally forgot…wait…then you don't have to cook dinner."

"Oh," Ginny's eyes widened. "No I don't."

"Adora," Ron cried throwing himself on top of her chest and crying into her shoulder.

"You have to wake up! You have to wake up now! You have to wake up from me, for out life together that is waiting, and for our unborn child. You know the baby that you are carrying now. Please, please wake up!"

"Ronald," Arabella said placing her hand upon his shoulder.

"You go away," Ron said turning around and snapping. "You want me to just abort the child and neither one of us know what Adora wants to do. This is her choice and I have no bloody answer as to what to do!" Ron had arisen from his chair and was staring Arabella down. "I should be able to make this decision and since we are not married yet, it is your decision. I won't let you take the baby! I won't!"

"I am not going to," Arabella sighed. "I want you to make this decision."

"What?!"

"I want you to make this decision with all of your family and my family. Then we can all come to a decision and you then tell me what to tell the Healers."

"Okay," Ron nodded.

"Adora love," Larissa said holding on to her daughter's hands. "You have got to fight for your life with Ron and the baby."

"His name is Bryan."

"I thought your fiancés name was Ron."

"It is," Adora smiled. "My Seer powers and Cassie has showed me my son, his name is Bryan."

"Good," James smiled. "Another boy from James and Nicholas. Too many girls down there. Roselyn, Breeanna, Lily, and Nicole."

"Wait," Adora blinked. "How do you know all this?"

"Like we told you earlier," Anthony spoke with only love for his only daughter. "We watch all of you all the time."

"Here from Godric's Hollow?"

"Not necessarily," Anthony shook his head. "This is where you wanted to see us though, so here we are.

"Trust me," Lily said getting up and sitting on the floor in front of Lily. "You don't want to lose a child."

"You never lost your children…"

"No," Lily shook her head. "But my children lost James and me, and I can not imagine how hard it was for them. For you and for Draco."

"Let Draco know how much I love him and proud of him," Narcissa said as tears ran down her face. "I miss him so much."

"He is taking care of my Sadie," Lily smiled from ear to ear. "Beautiful baby girl they had together."

"I still can not believe that my daughter married a Malfoy," James's nose curled.

"He is nothing like his father," Sirius spoke up. "Then again I have been telling you this for how long?"

"Fight for you life Adora," Larissa urged her. "Fight love, fight."

"Arrrrrghhh!" A scream came from the her chambers again and the guards rolled their eyes outside.

"Not again," he yawned.

"Been like this since she attacked the Potters."

"Well she has lost everything."

Then both men saw a green light coming their was and then were dead. Autumn Lewis, Queen of the Death Eaters, stormed out of her quarters and turned on their dead bodies.

"I told you not to talk about me!" She screamed as if their corpses could hear her, "Idiots!"

"Madam," Avery bowed down. "You can not keep killing all the Death Eaters, we won't have anyone left."

"I will do whatever the hell I want!" She screamed as she waved her wand and things began to break and bust all around the house. She then slammed the door behind her and began to smash things with her hands and threw things around.

Autumn had been like this since the night she agreed to attack that horrible Potter family.

The day her life went to hell.

Neville ended up being a heartless bastard that killed her most loyal Death Eaters, the Lestranges. These were also the people that had tortured his parents to death, so even though she was a bit pissed about that but Autumn knew that Neville was still in love with that Potter bitch, Bridget.

Every man was taken in by these Potter bitches and Autumn was furious that she had lost two men to each of the Potter girls. First Draco to Sadie and now Neville to Bridget. In fact Blaise Zambini was so in love with Bridget that he had convinced Autumn and Neville to hold Bridget's true husband hostage.

That night Autumn had not only lost her husband, second man in command, Blaise Zambini, but also her daughter, Desdemona. Autumn's ex-lover and blood traitor, Draco Malfoy and halfblood wife had stolen her daughter for her.

Harry had killed Autumn's mother and father. Susan stole not only Draco away from her but now also her only child. Bridget had stolen Neville from her before they had ever even met.

The Potters were a nuisance to her and war was really going to start and now.

"Adora…Adora please," Ron cried again, he was alone with her again. Arabella had to go back to the Manor to get ready for Roselyn's third birthday party.

There was a groan from underneath Ron and he jumped up to see Adora blinking up at him.

"Adora!"

"Shh!" She whispered.

"Sorry," he whispered and kissed her lips. "I'll be right back…I have to get the Healer."

After the Healer had left, Ron turned to his lovely fiancé. "I was so worried that I would lose you."

"You almost did," Adora said softly.

"We are going to have a baby," Ron said ignoring Adora's last statement.

"I know," Adora smiled. "Bryan."

"Bryan? I like that, but how can you be sure it's a boy."

"I have seen him twice now," Adora smiled. "He's a handful."

"I wish I could see."

"You can," Adora whispered at him. "Take my hand."
