Epilogue Part 2: Bouncing Babies and Screaming Banshees

Approximately one year and seven months and two weeks after the Triple Wedding.............

"IF YOU EVER BLOODY TOUCH ME AGAIN ALBUS PERCIVAL BLOODY WULFIRIC BRIAN BLOODY DUMBLEDORE I WILL AVADA KEDAVRA YOU!" shouted an irate Minerva McGonagall-Dumbledore.

Professor McDumbledore; as the students called her was currently in labor and squeezing the life out of Albus' hand. The poor man's knees buckled a while ago and he was on the floor with tears in his eyes trying to be whatever comfort he could.

"What ever you say love," Albus nodded.

"I need another push Mrs. Dumbledore and the baby will be out," the healer instructed. Minerva sat up and pushed with all her might as she felt a rush between her legs and heard a baby's cry.

"It's a girl!" the healer grinned as he handed the baby to the nurse to clean.

Minerva and Albus were smiling and crying happily but their happiness was short leaved as Minerva writhed and began cursing Albus again. Apparently she wasn't through yet.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"MERLIN'S BEARD YOU WILL NEVER DO THIS TO ME AGAIN SEVERUS TOBIAS SNAPE!!!" Sabrina shouted as she lay in a delivery room just down the hall from her aunt.

It was the strangest coincidence that all three had gotten pregnant about the same time and gone into delivery about the same time. Well may be not.

"Come one Rina you can do it," Severus coached rubbing her back.

"Oh sod off you greasy git!" Sabrina snapped as she screamed and pushed with all her might.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Tabby!? Tabby are you sure?" Sirius asked nervously as he held her hand. She was across the hall from the delivery room Sabrina could be heard screaming from.

Tabitha's eyes were narrowed into slits and he'd never seen her look so angry at anything. Well maybe at Voldemort or Dolores.

"Oh I'm quite sure that next time you will be delivering this!" she hissed as she pushed again.

Tabitha had not actually done much screaming the twelve hours she was in labor but she had done a fair bit of physically cursing Sirius. So much so the nurses had to physically restrain her and take her wand away. Not that it helped.

Harry had moved in with Tabitha and Sirius after their honeymoon. Grimmuald Place looked so cheery and happy now a day thanks to Tabby. Spinner's End was complete morphed thanks to Sabrina.

Harry was just a month or so from graduating Hogwarts and heading out in the world to start auror training. He, Ron, Neville, Luna, Hermione, Ginny, the Weasleys, Tonks, Remus, Aberforth Dumbledore, Poppy Pomfery, and Alastor Moody were all sitting in the deliver waiting room. They had all been at the Weasleys for a weekend dinner away from school when the ladies' waters broke and they were rushed to St. Mungo's.

Everyone had caught a nap here and there but no one slept long all too anxious to know the news.

Years later Harry James Potter would always note the time as 8: 30am Sunday morning on April the 14, 1998 when he saw the three men he regarded as a father, uncle, and grandfather exit through the deliver doors looking in utter shock.

"Well?"

"What is it?"

"Are the girls all right?"

"What are the names?"

"What's happened?"

"For Merlin sake answer us!" Several voices shouted questions to the men who were just shaking their heads in shock. The same expression was written on all three.

"Give 'em room!" Moody barked pushing everyone back.

"Albus?" Poppy called quietly.

"Twins."

"Twins."

"Twins." All three said in unison before dropping onto a couch in the same exhausted manner.

"TWINS!? Like…six?" Ron blinked.

The three nodded.

"Well what are they?" Neville asked.

"Girls."

"Girls."

"Girls." The men said in unison.

Everyone stared at the three new fathers in as much shock as they were in.

"Bloody Hell!" Ron exclaimed and the sentiment was agreed upon.

About four hours later all the students were back in school and everyone else had gone home leaving the three couples alone. Well not so alone. Minerva had near about pitched a royal fit to have her nieces in a room with her and after all three women's bouts delivering the six girls….no one was really too keen on starting World War III so she was obliged.

So in the large white room with teddy bear borders were three medical beds all holding a dark haired woman that was softly cooing to a pink bundle. In three large chairs by these beds were two dark haired men and one white haired man each cooing to a pink bundle.

"Well I suppose that now we have a chance to think we better give them names before everyone comes back!" Tabitha quipped earning a light laugh from all the adults in the room.

"I had a thought…" Sirius began as he stared into his daughter's mischievous but wise grey eyes. They sparkled with mischeif like his and were the same color but he saw her mother's wisdom also.

"And is that as far as you got?" Severus quipped good naturedly. Severus had really mellowed in the last two years and Sirius had matured. They were about equal now and really good friends much to Remus' disbelief.

"No," Sirius snapped and then grinned, "Seeing as how we all declared are wives goddesses…maybe we should keep with the theme?"

"I don't know…a name like mine is not really user friendly," Minerva stated.

"Minerva Aurora Katherine Victoria….yeah you're right it's not," Sabrina laughed.

Minerva frowned at her from across the room.

"However…. I think I should call my daughters; Veronica Aurora and Victoria Athena," Tabitha stated matter of factly.

"Bring Victory… Goddess of Dawn and Conqueror …Goddess of Wisdom and War," Albus stated.

"That's the idea," Tabitha grinned.

"I like it…plus you added a bit of your aunt to each," Sirius nodded happily. Minerva had always been like an aunt or mother to him. Now she really was and he was perfectly happy knowing his princesses honored her.

Not to be out done Sabrina proclaimed, "I think ours will be Katherine Elaine and Kristen Minerva."

"It's perfect," Severus nodded.

Minerva did nothing to hide the tears falling from her face as she smiled to the girls across the room.

"Their names may not make as much sense as yours did but the only thing I can think to call them is Jacinth Jane and Jasmine Angelica," Minerva said softly.

This time tears came to Tabitha and Sabrina's eyes at the names.

"Hyacinth Flower…God is Gracious?" Severus questioned.

"Jasmine flower … Messenger of God? I didn't know you were so religious or into the sixties Aunt Min," Sirius stated.

"I'm not," Minerva replied.

"She's honoring our mothers Jane and Angelica," Sabrina explained.

"The flowers…Jasmine was always in mother's hair. I smelled some once and I remembered. Hyacinth flowers were Aunt Jane's favorites," Tabitha further explained.

"I don't think you could have thought of better names Minerva," Albus smiled as he leaned up and kissed her gently.

Severus and Sirius kissed their wives as well as they continued to happily chat and coo over the six babies.

For years to come the girls would grow up as the closest group of friends Hogwarts would see. They would all have a trouble maker side but with Severus, Tabitha, and Minerva evening out Albus, Sirius, and Sabrina…they were just as academically inclined as well. Over all the little girls couldn't ask for better parents.
