This is a small chapter for the twins' birthday, party scene is small but hopefully the encounter below will help that. This story is coming to a close soon, I had thought about bring more into it but I figured maybe I'll save that for a sequel. Yes I'm thinking about making one but there's at least three or four more chapters for this fic.

Enjoy!

Potter Hall:

Two weeks flew by in no time flat, and Harry had planned a party with Hermione for Pan and Ivan. He had made sure everything was perfect, and tonight the party would be held at their own home; but Pan didn't know that just yet.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and Harry had let his lovely wife sleep in since she'd had a rough night with Gabriel waking up every two hours. He may have almost been a year old, but he still slept like a newborn.

"Hey buddy, why don't we go wake mummy?" he asked him and Gabriel began bouncing in his high chair.

"Mama, Mama!" Harry laughed and lifted him up from his seat. They walked upstairs and straight to the master bedroom; Harry opened the door quietly seeing Pan sprawled across the bed like an eagle. Her stomach was more noticeable now but hardly making her seem ready to burst. Harry made a shushing sound to Gabe and they crept over to the bed, Harry let Gabe crawl over to his mother's side and watched as his little hands patted her face.

"Uhh.." she stirred and began to wake. "Gabriel…stop it let mummy sleep." She tried to cover her face but Gabriel was on the comforter.

"No!" Harry's eyes widened, his third new word. Pan didn't seem to notice though. "Mama!" Gabriel hit her face again.

"Wait how did you…oh Harry." She looked at him wearily before rubbing her eyes. "What time is it?" Harry checked his watch.

"Five after ten love, good morning." She smiled.

"Good morning Harry, and yes Gabe good morning to you too." Pan laughed letting Gabriel crawl onto her lap and he started poking her belly. "No honey don't scare the baby." Gabriel looked up at her.

"No?"

"No sweetie…wait did he just…?" Harry laughed again.

"He said no, his third word. First dada, then mama, and now no."

"What'll he say next you think?" Harry shrugged.

"Come on love, today's a special day remember? I have the whole day planned out for us." Pan looked at him confused and then surprised.

"Oh, my 18th birthday."

"And Ivan's, I was thinking of inviting him and Hermione over tonight for a birthday dinner. The Malfoys were coming but then something came up."

"What was it?"

"Not sure, said it was a last minute thing. Anyway I wanted to take you out today for lunch, and then I was thinking we could visit a relative of yours."

"Who?" Harry sat down next to her and placed his arms around her.

"Your mother." Pan's eyes widened and filled with tears, Harry held her close stroking her cheek. "I figured since it's been so long, you might want to see her. I'm sure she'd love it." Bellatrix had been buried in an old cemetery in Wiltshire near the Malfoy home, her grave was made separate from the Malfoy family crypt but close by nonetheless. They often visited Pan's adopted parents, but Bellatrix was in fact her birth mother; Voldemort on the other hand had been cremated and his ashes were scattered into the Black Lake, done by Ivan of course.

"You mean that Harry?" he kissed her head.

"Of course love, your mother and I may have been enemies, but you and Ivan are the only good she's ever done. For that I'm thankful to her…" Pan almost fainted in his arms, hell he almost fainted himself; he actually thanked the dead Bellatrix for bringing Pan and Ivan into this world, and thanked her for saving their lives?

"Are you feeling ok Harry?" she felt his forehead with a giggle. "It almost sounds like you…liked my mother." Harry looked at her with shock.

"No of course not dear, I'm just thankful she gave you and Ivan life, if she hadn't I can't say where I'd be now." He didn't want to think about it either. He had everything he could ever hope for with Pan and Gabriel and more.

"Alright, let me get dressed. Did I miss breakfast?"

"I'll have the elves make you something, you are feeding for two." He rubbed her stomach and took Gabe from her before leaving the room. He met Dobby and Tipsy in the kitchen, both cleaning dishes from their breakfast.

"Good morning Master." The elves bowed.

"Good morning Dobby, Tipsy. It appears my wife is now getting dressed, would you please make her something since she missed breakfast?" the elves nodded. "Thanks, just make her some pancakes if you can, and some tea."

"Of course master, Dobby will get straight on it."

"Tipsy will finish master's dishes and help Dobby." The female elf nodded and finished the dishes while Dobby began making Pan's breakfast brunch. He set Gabe down in his highchair again and gave him the musical rattle.

"Harry." He looked at the door and Pan walked in wearing her navy blue top and jeans with boots, and her hair was pulled up in a ponytail.

"You look beautiful, as always." She blushed and giggled.

"That smells great Dobby." The elf smiled at her.

"Dobby is happy mistress loves his cooking." She sat down next to Harry and he kissed her cheek. Gabriel shook the rattle greatly and laughed as it played the lullaby. Dobby brought her plate over along with a syrup bottle and butter. Tipsy brought the tea with her and the elves left the room with a bow.

"We can leave earlier if you want you know. I'm sure your mum would love us being there." She nodded.

"I know, it's just that graveyards always creep me out. The last time I went to one I could've sworn I felt a ghost come by because everything went cold."

"You sure it wasn't in the winter?"

"Well yes but…oh shut up!" she hastily ate her food and in five minutes finished. Harry laughed and took the plate while Pan lifted Gabe from his high chair. "Your daddy's being silly Gabriel, let's hope you're not the same." Gabe laughed shaking the rattle. Dobby then popped in with the morning post, some letters and the daily prophet.

"Dobby has master and mistress's mail, but Dobby has a feeling that the letters are more howlers and some friendly." Harry scratched the back of his head and shook his head. Ginny and Molly were gone and most of the haters actually came around, but there were still some who wouldn't leave them alone. As he checked each letter he counted three howlers, two letters from Narcissa and Andromeda, and a couple of anonymous letters for Harry.

"It's ok Harry, let the howlers come first." Pan covered Gabriel's ears and Harry opened the first howler wrenching back as it started.

"HARRY POTTER YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS BEDDING THAT WHORE! SHE IS THE DARK DAUGHTER HOW CAN YOU BETRAY YOUR PEOPLE LIKE THIS?" he didn't recognize the voice, but destroyed it before opening the next one.

"PANDORA LESTRANGE YOU THIEVING WITCH! HOW DARE YOU LOCK UP AN INNOCENT GIRL AND HER MOTHER! YOU DESERVE TO DIE!" that one made Pan shiver. Harry then opened up the last one and it was by far the nastiest one.

"HARRY POTTER THE BOY WHO LIVED MARRIED TO THE DARK DAUGHTER, IT'S A DISGRACE TO NAME OF WIZARDS AND WITCHES EVERYWHERE! YOU AND THAT WHORE WILL PAY SOMEDAY POTTER! YOU WILL PAY!"

"Honestly what's with these people?" Pan let go of Gabe's ears as Harry discarded the last howler. "Why can't they just leave us alone?" Harry walked over to comfort her, she usually wouldn't get this emotional but it was the pregnancy causing all this.

"Don't let it get to you love, they're just jealous of us. Nothing would ever cross my mind about leaving you, I love you too much." She leaned into him and Gabe's head rested on her shoulder.

"I love you Harry, I love you so much." She kissed him and he kissed back. Oh he wanted to take her right there but Gabriel was home, thankfully he had the house elves.

"Dobby! Tipsy!" he called and they appeared immediately.

"Master has called Dobby and Tipsy?"

"Yes, could you two watch Gabriel for a little while? I need to speak with my wife." The elves got the hint and levitated little Gabe out of the room, and they knew he liked that a lot. The minute they left Harry closed all doors and covered the windows in the kitchen, then put up a silencing charm. He lifted Pan onto the table and kissed her face multiple times while they stripped partially out of their clothes. Harry only unbuttoned his shirt and pants while Pan took off her shirt and yanked down her pants and boots.

"Harry…please…" she moaned as he massaged her breasts through the bra. He began to suck her nipples through the material and she let out a squeak as his left hand went around to cup her arse and his other massaged her womanhood through the panties. "Ahhh!" she cried out.

"Eager are we?" he smirked and kissed her lips. He freed himself of his boxers and positioned himself at her entrance before pushing inside. She screamed in pleasure and wrapped her legs around his waist as he began to thrust inside her.

"Ah…ahhh….oh Harry!" he loved it when she did that, but he had to be careful so as not to harm his daughter.

"Pan…Pan…I-I love you…" he began to slow down because of the baby, but Pan didn't like that and she forcibly grabbed his hair.

"Don't baby me! Finish it!" she growled with a hard kiss to his lips and he sped up listening to her delicious moans and cries.

"I-I'm coming…" he said and Pan's legs tightened around him.

"Me t-tooo ah!" two more big thrusts and Harry's hot sperm shot inside her and she came with him. They both panted heavily and as Harry cast a cleaning charm on them both and pulled his clothes back on. Pan did the same and pulled her hair up into a bun kissing Harry on the cheek.

"You were great darling." He said.

"Not so bad yourself." She laughed and he smacked her bare ass before her pants covered it. "Hey!" she slapped his cheek lightly and he laughed. Soon they were both dressed and ready, now they just had to find Gabriel. Dobby and Tipsy were playing bang the drums with the little one and he was enjoying the sounds made with his rattle.

'That's so cute.' "Hey Gabe." Gabriel looked at them and shook his rattle at them.

"Dada! Dada!" Harry picked him up and thanked the elves for watching him before leaving the room to get their coats. It was near late in November and it was a rather chilled, windy day today; first they would tour around Diagon Alley, have lunch, and then visit Bellatrix. Harry knew someone would look down on their marriage, but he would set them straight if he had to; it was Pan's birthday and he wanted to make the day special.

"You ready love?" she asked putting Gabe's blue yarn hat on.

"Just about, where's my scarf?"

"Over there." She pointed to the coat rack. Harry made sure they were all ready before they left for Diagon Alley through the floo. They were in Flourish and Blotts cellar and after exiting the building Harry took them into the newly made ice cream shop. Harry bought them each an ice cream and figured that could hold them for a bit until lunch.

As they walked around the alley they finished their cones and sat down on a bench for a bit while Pan fed Gabriel his bottle.

"Love, do you want to visit your mother first? We have time." Pan held onto Gabriel, and nodded.

"Yes."

"Alright, come with me." They walked back into Flourish and Blotts and flooed into a funeral home. The owner was out, but they didn't need to call to visit. This home had the Black family crypt and other graves related to them, and the Malfoys made the funeral plans but Pan couldn't come because at the time she and Ivan both grieved the loss greatly, and they were hated by the entire Wizarding community. "Should be right around the back." He led her out to the back where many old headstones, mausoleums, and crypts laid out. Some were fresh with flowers, others long forgotten going back a hundred years and more. After crossing over a few headstones and others, they finally came over to the grave that made Pan's eyes swell with tears.

Bellatrix Druella Black Lestrange

Born August 15, 1951

Died May 2 1998

Her grave had been marked with a death eater's symbol, as were every other loyal death eater to the Dark Lord; a skull with snakes around the head. She was buried next to her parents, but their graves had no marks.

"Mother…" Harry put his arm around Pan's shoulders, Bellatrix was an evil woman, but to Pan she was only a loving mother and one of the few who supported her grandson. Pan never saw her mother's evil side, and thankfully it would remain that way. Pan pulled out her wand and conjured up a bouquet of violets, Harry set them down on the tombstone carefully and brushed the top off from the sand.

"I'm sure she's in a better place Pan." He knew who Bellatrix was, but since she did turn against her master at the last minute perhaps there was some mercy in store for her. Pan nodded and leaned into Harry's touch before pulling away.

"I-I'm going to look at the other headstones Harry, would you mind if I…?" he put a finger to her lips.

"Of course darling, take your time but be careful." He watched as she pulled up her hood and carried Gabe around the graveyard. When she was about ten or fifteen feet away he bent down and made sure the flowers were well positioned before a brush of cold air hit him.

"Potter." He lifted his head to see a long black skirt in front of him. Looking up slowly he was looking into the eyes of his dead mother-in-law. He stood up and backed away a bit before answering.

"Bellatrix." He stuttered a bit and she laughed.

"Relax boy, I'm dead remember?" she held out her hand, Harry reached up to grab it but felt nothing.

"You're a ghost?" she shook her head.

"A spirit with a message for you." Harry listened carefully. "I'm unable to move on Potter, because I'm worried about my children. I've been watching over them, and I can see that…" she hesitated. "They're being well cared for, and they're with the people they love more than anything. That's all I wanted for them, I never wanted what their father wanted."

"The arranged marriages?" she nodded.

"Unlike myself, I wanted them to be happy. Though I had no idea they would end up with you and Granger." She eyed him curiously.

"I take care of Pan and Gabe well, I love them both."

"I know you do, and Gabriel…such a beautiful baby boy. I never saw my children's faces until they came back; I was robbed of that on their birth. Don't get me wrong Potter I did a lot of disdainful things in my lifetime, but I'll never regret giving my loving son and my beautiful daughter the lives they deserved. They are the only good thing I've ever done."

"I know, and I'm thankful to you for that. Your sacrifice was the best thing you could've ever given them, but I'm sorry you never got to meet your grandson." She looked at him and walked a little closer.

"At least I'll get to watch him grow up." She smiled at him and looked over at Pan and Gabriel. "I wished all during my time in Azkaban that I would see my children again, and now I can watch them move on."

"I-I'm glad." She turned back to him.

"Take good care of them Potter, they need you." She smiled and started to fade. "And for future reference, if you break their hearts I will haunt you until the day you die." Harry gave a small laugh and watched as she disappeared.

"Goodbye Bellatrix." He said and saw Pan coming back over to him.

"I'm sorry Harry, I just…Harry are you ok?" Harry realized he'd been staring too long and his eyes were getting sore and watery.

"I'm fine, just had a little moment that's all. Come on let's get lunch." He led them away before Pan turned and let Gabriel see the headstone.

"Say goodbye to grandma sweetie." Gabriel gave a small wave and Harry heard a soft laugh in the wind. "So where're we going?"

"Oh, how about the Three Broomsticks?"

"Alright." He took her by the arm and made a silent prayer to whom he knew could hear him.

'I will protect and love your family no matter what Bellatrix, you have my word.'

That night, Potter Hall:

"Hurry Pan they're waiting on us." Harry was urging Pan to finish dressing up. He had her believe they were going to a fabulous restaurant with Hermione and Ivan, and then to a show afterwards when really all their friends and relatives were waiting in the main ballroom. All they had to do was wait on Ivan and Hermione to show through their bedroom fireplace.

"Hang on Harry I'm fixing my hair."

"It's taking too long we're only going out."

"I know but I want to look nice. Ok I'm done." She came out of the bathroom and Harry gawked at her; she had on a sexy red knee-length gown with black leggings and matching jewels. Her hair was straightened and in a relaxed half up style, and her makeup made her skin glow in the light, or maybe that was the pregnancy.

"Wow…if you weren't pregnant with my daughter I'd jump you right now." She winked and purred rubbing her stomach.

"Harry not in front of the baby." She pretended to be stunned, she was so cute.

"Whatever let's just…" at that moment Hermione and Ivan came through the fireplace. "There you guys are, come on let's get downstairs." He pulled Pan out of the room with them following. They made their way downstairs and almost to the ballroom doors until Pan stopped him.

"Harry relax it's just dinner and a show." Harry smirked at her and Hermione did the same with Ivan. "Harry?"

"Guys what's going on?" Ivan was always suspicious. Hermione kissed his cheek and Harry kissed Pan's.

"You'll see soon." Harry carefully opened the doors and as soon as they were visible a large sound echoed through the house.

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Pan and Ivan jumped back in shock and nearly screamed. The ballroom was decorated with streamers and ribbons, with tables of food and a large birthday cake in the center. All their relatives, including Gabriel and Teddy were clapping and smiling at them.

"Oh my God! Harry, Hermione you…?" the twins were red to their ears.

"Happy birthday you two." They each received a short, yet passionate kiss before entering. Their friends swamped over them with hellos and his and congrats and many more. Harry watched as they enjoyed themselves and Draco came over with a cup of pumpkin juice.

"Nice job here Harry." They were now on a first name basis. Draco handed him the cup and he sipped it watching his wife socialize.

"Glad to see this is all working out, hard to believe we used to be enemies." Draco laughed.

"You really brought a light into Pan's life, and her son."

"My son too, and soon to have my daughter; I can't wait." Draco laughed again.

"I think you might want to enjoy it while you can, newborns don't let their parents sleep. Get used to Gabe now and you'll be ready." Harry smiled patting Draco's back before setting down his cup and walking to Pan taking her into the middle of the dance floor. The slow song began to play, and others began to join in though this was just a start.

"Harry I can't believe you did all this."

"I had a little help from Hermione, and had to get a hold of several people but it was worth it." She leaned onto his shoulder and he held her close. "You look radiant tonight Pan."

"Thank you Harry." They rocked to the music and soon they were so wrapped up in each other's arms they didn't even hear the song end. "I love this party, all our friends together and family. This is the best birthday I've ever had, I just wish…I wish my mother was here to see this." Harry smiled at that.

"Pan my love, she is here. She's here watching over us both and Ivan and Hermione, and I'm sure she'd be very proud of you no matter what." She looked at him with happiness.

"You think so?" Harry looked up at the ceiling and saw Bellatrix's smiling and winking face looking at them.

"I know so." And they kissed.

Like it? Well please enjoy it because there's only two more chapters left, the birth of the new babies and then the epilogue, or maybe I'll combine the two. Leave a good review and I'm up for names for the babies if you're interested. Remember Harry and Pan are having a girl, and Ivan and Hermione are having a boy though I may let her have twins.

Later! Review!
