Really sorry that is has been FOREVER since I last updated this story, I've really struggled with this chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.


Morticia Adrianna Lestrange

Even though it had only been a few weeks since Hermione had last walked through the corridors of the maternity ward in St Mungos a lot had changed since then. Teddy now was growing bigger and bigger by the day, after swapping his hair colour back and forth for several days, he had finally settled on a bright green.

She herself was getting bigger by the day, the twins due date was approaching quickly and she was finally feeling the full effects that were expected in the final trimester.

Turning left Hermione directed Draco and Blaise through the hospital, the letter that had been delivered earlier had been short and direct.

Draco

In the early hours of the morning Bellatrix went into labour, an hour ago she gave birth to our daughter, Bellatrix asks for you and your family to come visit sometime today.

Rodolphus

No later than an hour after retrieving the note they had apperated to the hospital, even though she was certain Narcissa was already going to be there, Hermione wanted to be one of the first to congratulate Bellatrix and Rodolphus on the birth of their daughter, and, she also didn't want to face the wrath of Bellatrix if they didn't show up, showed up later than she had expected or showed up while she was fast asleep. Yes, an hour later was perfectly acceptable, not too early that you looked as though you had dropped everything to get here (like Narcissa surely will've done) but not too late so it looked as though you didn't care.

"Draco, what room did the receptionist say they were in again?"

"Erm, room 121," Hermione nodded and continued down the corridor. 118…119…120… 121.

Hermione glanced at Blaise and Draco and frowned, they didn't want to be here, that was written clearly on their faces.

"Please look a little bit happier, that you're actually happy to be here to see the baby."

"I still don't know why I have to be here," muttered Blaise, he wasn't family like Draco and he didn't care whether the baby was a boy, girl or a giraffe in a pink tutu, he didn't need to be here.

"You're here because I have to be here, and I refuse to sit on my own with my mum and Hermione cooing over a baby for god knows how many hours."

"If your mother is here then I'm certain your father will be, you could have sat and sulked with him but no you've dragged me here to make me suffer as well."

"Blaise my man, if I suffer you have to suffer. We took vows remember," Blaise was about to retaliate when Hermione grabbed his arm.

"Stop your moaning, we will not be here for hours so don't even start. Blaise you have to be here because you are now family as am I and thirdly when it comes to the twins being born they will all come to see the baby without a second thought." And with that Hermione pushed open the door and stepped inside.

"Insufferable witch," Draco muttered under his breath as he followed her inside.

Hermione immediately manoeuvred over to Bellatrix and Narcissa, she handed Bellatrix the card she had carefully written out less than an hour ago and peered at the bundle in Narcissa's arm.

Large hazel eyes peered out from beneath the blankets, she had petite button nose and pouty little lips. Unlike Teddy who had a small tuff of hair the little girl had a full head of auburn hair. There was no doubts she was Rodolphus Lestrange's daughter, she was his double.

"Did you finally decide on a name?"

Bellatrix nodded, "Morticia Adrianna Lestrange, a beautiful name for a beautiful baby,"

"I can't help but agree," Hermione said stroking Morticia's cheeks. Her tiny mouth opened in a yawn and a pink tongue poked out.

Blaise had been right about one thing his mother was already cooing over the baby in her arms, yes it was going to be a long hour for sure. Walking over to a tired looking Bellatrix Draco bent down to place a kiss on her cheek.

"Congratulations Aunt Bella," he said a real smile doting his face.

"Thank you Draco." Said Bellatrix looking at back at the baby perfectly comfortable in Narcissa's arms.

Blaise following Draco's move kissed Bellatrix on her cheek congratulating her before stepping back to shake Rodolphus' hand.

"A little girl eh? Let us hope she doesn't turn out like her mum." He joked winking at Rodolphus, the two men shared a laugh before taking the available seats.

"I wasn't expecting you three to arrive so soon, didn't expect you for a couple of hours." Rodolphus stared across the room his eyes never leaving the cocoon of pink blankets.

"Have you not met my wife? Quick to make decisions, bossy and stubborn. If her mind is set on something then it's got to be achieved. As soon as you sent that letter she had already started to get ready to leave."

Draco took the seat on the opposite side of Rodolphus and held out his arm, "Congratulations Uncle Rod she's gorgeous." The two men shared a smile and Draco watched as Blaise rose from his seat and walked to Hermione who was now cradling the baby in her arms. Glancing at his father's sullen face Draco smirked, making sure nobody was watching he leant across his chair and whispered in Lucius' ear.

"I hope when the twins are born you'll look a little more excited,"

"I've been here since half past eight this morning, how your mother can still be excited over that baby after all this time I don't know. How long is it until she pops now?"

"They are due in September so another 11 weeks, but Madam Pomfrey said they may come earlier than that so anytime at the end of August onwards," Lucius nodded his head but Draco couldn't help but feel his father looked a little alarmed at the news.

"Are you nervous?" Draco nodded his head continuing to stare at Hermione and Blaise.

"I'm also a little excited,"

"It's the most amazing but terrifying thing having a baby Draco and nobody is ever prepared for it, it doesn't matter if you're are as old as Bella and Rod or as young as Hermione, Blaise and you but remember this, it's the most rewarding thing you can ever do because when you look at that baby who stares up at you, who is completely dependent on you and see them as a happy healthy successful adult you realise everything was worth it." No more words were spoken between them but Lucius placed his hand on Draco's shoulder squeezing it tightly. His father had never expressed how he truly felt but right now in the hospital surrounded by his family he knew that his father was proud of him, and he couldn't wait till he handed his new born sons over to his father to see the glimmer of pride and love appear in his eyes again.


I think the only part of this that I actually like is that last two or three lines, I just couldn't write this chapter like I wanted to. I scrapped the first attempt and this was only slightly better. I hope you all like it more than I do aha. I'm actually going to jump a bit further into the future in the next chapter, and then even further in the next two chapters. There are really only another three chapters and a epilogue to go on this then it is done. Also guys please review, favourite and alert :)

Also I have a poll going on, I want you to chose which Harry Potter one shot you want me to write next, you get to pick two options, so please vote :)
