Potter Babies

Hermione and Ron asked Harry to join them at house hunting. As both were awarded a nice sum along with their order of Merlin decoration, they could now afford to buy a small house. "My parents were ready to help financially," she told Harry secretly, "but I refused the help. Ron should learn to rely on himself and learn to make do with the assets available," she said firmly.

Finding the right house proved to be time consuming. Harry spent many days helping his friends, failing to notice the activity in his own house, so that on the last day of July he was very surprised to wake up with four naked ladies in his bed, all wishing him happy birthday. While Susan and Daphne were only able to cuddle, let him fondle their full breasts and feel the movements of the babies inside their bodies, and Luna wasn't able to do much more, Hermione had no hesitations. With Luna's encouragement, she straddled Harry and thoroughly shagged him, making him cum twice inside her before letting go of him. Luna was quick to lick Harry clean, reviving his erection. She then straddled him reluctantly and Harry made love to her very tenderly, forgetting the presence of the others.

"I love you so much!" Luna said with tears in her eyes. "I wish to always make you happy."

"I love you, Luna, and you make me happy just by being with me," he said, hugging her lovingly and kissing her tears off.

Other friends were waiting for them to come out of the bedroom. Neville, holding Hannah's hand tightly; Ron, who was cradling Rose more tenderly than anybody would have thought him capable; Bill and Fleur, who was breast-feeding Victoire, oblivious of other males watching; George with Angelina, who seemed quite in love; Percy with Penny; Arthur and Molly; Ginny with Dean; Charlie, who was embracing a muscular blonde; Seamus; Lavender; both Padma and Parvati, each with a boyfriend; Minerva McGonagall, accompanied by both Hagrid and Flitwick; a few more members of the DA and some house-elves. They all shouted "Happy Birthday, Harry!" as soon as he arrived.

Harry was touched to his core. Seeing all these people whom he cared for joining him for his birthday brought tears of joy to his eyes. He thanked them all and then started thanking each individually. As he walked around the room he suddenly found himself looking at Dudley.

"Happy Birthday, Harry! It's time for you to be finally happy," Dudley said, holding his hand and smiling.

"How were you even able to come here?" Harry asked.

"Your friend and your wife contacted me. I thought it was time to become real family, not like we were during our childhood. I hope you'll be able to put aside the past, although I can't ask you to forgive." That was not really an answer to his question, but it was more than good enough. It didn't matter how he was brought to the house, only that he really wanted to come.

"I'm glad you're here," Harry said, "and I hope you'll also come visit some other time, when we can really talk."

He couldn't say much more as his guests were already urging him to move on. He only noticed that Dudley was no longer fat. Dudley was still large, of course, but he seemed trimmer and thinner than Harry could remember ever seeing him.

The party lasted for most of the day, with food, games and laughter. Harry couldn't remember a time when he enjoyed himself so much in the company of friends and family.

That evening, once the guests left, Harry hugged Luna lovingly. "Thank you for the surprise party, and especially for bringing Dudley here."

"You should thank Hermione as well. I could not have done it without her help."

Living with three pregnant women wasn't easy. Both Daphne and Susan were due within a few weeks. This meant that they were moving quite heavily, needing a lot of help. It also meant that they had mood swings and were very impatient. Harry tried thinking of them as carrying a large and heavy bag inside their bellies. He wasn't sure he could endure this for long, had he been able to get pregnant.

Luna, carrying twins, was almost as large and tired even quicker. Harry gave her more attention than he gave the other two, but that wasn't always enough.

Things became even more chaotic two weeks after his birthday. It was sheer luck that Luna's foresight caused her to suggest, "Why don't you call Lady Greengrass to stay here? Her daughter is due any day now, and it would be more difficult to call her when rushing to the delivery room."

Daphne's mother joined them that evening.

It was late in the night, or very early in the morning, when Susan woke up, feeling strong pains. Harry was at her side a moment later, trying to comfort and help her. Lady Greengrass joined them shortly after as well.

"It looks like her pains are repeating every ten minutes and are getting closer. I suggest you take her to St. Mungos," she said after almost an hour.

Harry took the bag which had been ready for several weeks already and helped Susan walk the short distance to the hospital. They were immediately rushed to the delivery room. Three hours later, Harry was proudly holding his first son, who had his father's black unruly hair and his mother's brown eyes.

He didn't have much time to enjoy his new fatherhood. Daphne's water broke about an hour after he had left with Susan. Daphne called her father to stay with Luna, and then her mother walked with her to the hospital. Harry was called to her room, which happened to be adjacent to Susan's, soon after he had seen his son emerge.

Daphne's delivery wasn't as smooth as Susan's. Her contractions, although painful, were still weak and not close enough. Spells and potions could not help much at this stage. She continued writhing in her bed for many hours. It was late in the evening when her contractions became close enough. It then moved as if in fast motion. The baby popped out with almost no conscious effort from Daphne. That was quite lucky, as she was too exhausted by that time to really cooperate.

The Greengrass heir that she brought had Harry's green eyes but his hair was blond like Daphne's. Harry was ecstatic when holding him. He then visited Susan once more, making sure she was feeling well, before returning home to Luna.

The new mothers and the children returned home two days later. Harry made sure to have two house elves assigned to each mother, making sure that all the needs of both mother and child were fulfilled. He also tried to spend as much time as possible with each baby without letting Luna feel neglected. It helped that Luna was also eager to get to know the babies and help the mothers, and not only in order to hone her skills for the approaching arrival of her own children.

The last two months of Luna's pregnancy were really hard. Despite the spells and the potions, Luna wasn't very strong physically, and carrying twins had never been easy even for women much larger and stronger than her. She was only able to help with the babies for a few weeks before becoming almost too heavy to move. She still kept her spirits high, though, thinking of the new lives growing in her womb, the fruits of the love she was sharing with Harry.

By October she could barely move and Harry was concerned about how to make her reach the hospital, once she started delivery. It was Hermione who advised him. "Why don't you buy a car? I'm sure you can learn to drive it, and Gringotts is allowed to give wizards legitimate driving licenses."

Harry started his driving lessons the next morning. A few days later he already was the proud owner of a large minivan. Despite the Gringotts license, he also passed his driving test before the end of the month.

It wasn't too soon, really. Luna carried her pregnancy for only a few more days. It was during lunch that she felt a sudden pain. Both Daphne and Susan, whose boys were almost three months old by then, helped her to a nearby couch, along with Harry. Luna's next pain came an hour later. The twins seemed to take their time coming out.

By dinner time, Luna's contractions were not closer than at lunch, although they were gradually becoming more painful. Harry sent the other women to bed at midnight, staying alone at Luna's side. Four hours later, Luna felt a change. "I think we should go now," she told Harry.

He helped her waddle to the backseat of the car, glad that the door could open wide enough. It was merely a two minutes ride to St. Mungos. He parked on the curb and helped Luna in, remembering to cast some muggle-repelling charms on the car.

By the time Luna was settled into the delivery room, her contractions were already ten minutes apart. Her face was showing both her exhilaration at finally reaching this stage and her tiredness, after suffering pains for more than twelve hours.

Harry didn't know how to help her. He was holding her hand, whispering softly in her ear and reminding her to breathe as needed, yet he was sensing that she was quickly becoming too tired to push, when it would be most important to do so. He wished his magic to help Luna, pushing all his love towards her.

It worked better than he expected. Luna suddenly felt invigorated. She looked at Harry with silent thanks in her eyes. An hour later, when the delivery proper started, she felt as if it was Harry pushing for her, bringing first the girl out and then the boy, merely five minutes later.

Harry took each of them and placed them tenderly at Luna's breasts for their first suckling. He then looked at the babies, caressed Luna's face, and collapsed of his own exhaustion.

A house in the middle of London, even if surrounded by a magnificent garden and protected by multiple wards, is not ideal for raising children, or so Harry thought. Daphne and Susan agreed that a place with fresher air would be better and so did Luna. Soon after Luna returned home, when she felt strong enough, they all moved to Potter Manor.
