Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and will return the characters to their books after I have sexed them up and done all the naughtiest things I can think of to them.
A/N: This is unbeta'd, oops! I've never really enjoyed these pairings, but…uh, I don't know, the muse made me do it, my sister would likely be proud, but too squicked out to read anything this pornographic that's written by me. Please let me know how I did, and um, I'm sorry if I haven't quite spelled out what this is, but just…well, take a chance and try something new, it's definitely what I did!

Oh, and this fic is complete, but I may visit back with them later on if anyone asks nicely!

Summary: Hermione is getting sick of hearing Ron slip up her name every time they are in the middle of making love—and taking things into her own hands seemed like a good idea—until she came upon the scene in her living room and was given some unexpected news all at once.

Chapter Two

Some Years Later

"Harry, Mione—I'm home!" Ron called as he came through the doors, casting another cleaning spell on his shirt even as he was taking it off—as much as he loved his weekly four hour shift with the kids, he could really do without the muddy fingerprints on his clothing.

He heard muffled voices coming from the breakfast nook in the kitchen, and smoothed his undershirt out as he wondered how today had gone. Both Hermione and Harry looked much as they had when he had left them this morning; Harry looked exhausted, with dark circles around his eyes, and he was pale and flushed as if he was still running a fever, while Hermione looked very tired but her skin glowed with a strangely familiar—and healthy—hue.

"So, what did she say?" Ron asked anxiously, although he didn't doubt Madam Pomfrey's medical expertise, or Snape's for that matter, he did wonder at the shocked faces he was greeted with. "Love, are you okay?" Ron asked as he leaned down and gave Harry a kiss on the forehead, taking his temperature at the same time, the way his own mum had done his entire life. Harry felt hot, but not alarmingly so, and he still turned his head up to give Ron a gentle kiss before Ron did the same to his wife, forehead first—normal temperature, although a touch higher than his own—and then a soothing kiss from her mouth.

"We're okay, Ronald…but, maybe you should sit down," Hermione pushed a cup of tea towards Ron, that fell out of stasis as he picked it up and breathed in the soothing scent of a blend made to calm nerves. He noticed the jar of the blend on the counter, noted Snape's precise and neat cursive and silently thanked the newly re-introduced Potion's Master for the measures.

"I'm pregnant."

Silence.

Ron turning to look at Harry for confirmation, who nods and searches Ron's face for a clue as to what he is feeling.

Stunned expression, soundly followed by more silence.

"Ah, as am I," Hermione added after another minute, making Ron do a decent impression of a fish, but he had gulped enough of the tea that he didn't pass out in a dead faint. Ron sent another silent thanks to Snape, reminding himself to really try to be nicer to the bloke next time they were around one another.

"I, okay…one, give me a mo'" Ron calmed down, breathed in deeply for a moment, backed the rest of the tea in his cup and then set it down gently before bursting into a wide grin. "Okay, okay—we're…I'm…" he gripped Harry and Hermione's hands on the table, and then he was bursting up and kissing his wife, then his lover, and then he was pulling them both into a hug. "But wait," Ron pushed them both back a second, looked at Harry and then down at Harry's abdomen, watched as Harry's face turned a deep red and then he turned around and lifted up his shirt. He allowed Ron to see where his back was already beginning to alter to allow the mitral sac* was already full with child, and then touch it gently before returning his shirt down, turning back to face his partners. "Didn't Snape say it didn't take?" Harry sighed, nodded and then picked up a handful of Bertie Bots Every Flavour Beans, not noticing the winces he got from both Hermione and Ron as he shoveled the disgusting mixture of flavours into his mouth.

"H'vas wong" Harry said around a mouthful of beans, and Hermione shuddered delicately and picked up the book she had been previously perusing, titled Elogium and You: Everything you wanted to know about Male Pregnancy (and some things you didn't) By Healer Kes & Healer Kenneth Schweitzer*. The fact that Hermione was not stopping Harry from picking up a radish from a dish he had no previously seen, meant that this odd behaviour of Harry's was likely okay—and maybe even a good sign, although the sight of it was making Ron feel quite sick to his stomach.

"Severus told us that there was a chance it would just take a while for Harry's body to develop the necessary magic needed to support and sustain a child before he was capable of being impregnated—Oh boys, really, grow up—Harry is pregnant and so am I. That means we'll have twice the pregnancy things to deal with, and twice the fun." Hermione quipped at the end, but her eyes shone bright with happiness. "Severus sends his congratulations, as does Poppy, but we'll see them both at the shower—now, Harry, err. Well, the unusual cravings should go away soon, but the first couple months he'll get these cravings…and it'd be best if you just got him whatever he wants, no matter how peculiar, but if you're worried, well just ask me, or Poppy or Severus, or even Gin." Ron nodded, grimaced as Harry took another bite of radish and gave another chuckle at the thought of having another child around on top of James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Rose.

"Do we know the sex yet?" Ron asked, anxiously wondering if he'd be gifted with another daughter, or if he'd have a son. Didn't really matter, but he knew he would have to start sorting clothing out for each child, making lists up for names, but mostly he just wanted to talk about his future babies—regardless of sex, or names—he was going to be a father, again, and Merlin that felt good!

"It'll be a boy," Hermione said, patting her stomach gently and smiling softly at her two loves, imagining another little one running around the place, and wondering if it was time to move to a bigger house. Harry grimaced as he sat back and got used to the odd protective spells Snape had woven into the area around his back, just far enough away not to influence the magic that was keeping the child—his and Ron's—alive, but keeping the space protected from impact.

"Too soon to tell, but I'm hoping for a little girl," Harry loved Rose like his own, and his son's were amazing, but he longed for a little girl, like Rose, and stroked his neck with fondness. Ron grinned at him and then seemed to pale, before his eyes grew wider and shock registered on his face.

"You're having my baby! Harry, you're having my baby!" Ron was once again leaning over and kissing his male companion, rubbing his neck gently and then slipping to the floor where he was opening Harry's jeans and pulling his already hardening cock out, sucking it down with an obscene noise and letting Harry fuck into his mouth, hard. The sudden sex scene in front of her had Hermione laughing, as she took in the comical sight of Harry eating another couple of beans and then suddenly flushing with more than just male pregnancy as Ron allowed their lover to fuck into his wide mouth.

"Hm, if this is how he gets when we get pregnant, we should probably do it more often—although we're going to need a bigger house soon," Hermione said, but her voice was breathy, as she watched Harry's large eyes grow wider as he reached his climax. She felt a peculiar tingle as Harry's magic leached out and gripped onto Ron and pulled some of that power into himself, for the baby. Allowing some of her own magic to be pulled out, Hermione felt Harry's greedily accept it, and push that too into the child, and she smiled softly as she realized just how loved all of her children were.

"Yeah, guess we should house hunt soon," Ron sighed from beneath the table after crying out his own climax, and probably dirtying the floor. A cleaning spell later and another few kisses traded and Hermione was soon starting the food with Ron, allowing Harry a day off as he continued to snack on peculiar foods that neither Ron nor Mione wanted mixed up with their own meal.

A couple hours later and Molly was flooing them to say she would be happy to keep the children a bit longer after hearing the good news. It gave the three of them the night off, and all were happy, but chose to spend their time cuddling in front of the fire, and then sleeping early, Harry between Ron and Hermione as his body soaked in their freely given magic, and his body continued to acclimate to the situation.

"Are you happy, love?" Harry whispered, half-delirious with magic and heat, and both Ron and Hermione soothed him with pats and kisses, and whispered cooling spells in the air while pulling up the blankets higher.

"Of course I am, never been a luckier bloke in the world," Ron whispered, adding more magic to the exchange, and feeling Hermione do the same, in lesser quantities, as her own body needed the strength. He added some to hers, and she smiled tiredly.

"We'll go through this all together, Harry," Harry nodded, and rubbed Hermione's belly with his free hand, then promptly fell asleep, even as Ron and Hermione continued to talk softly into the night.

Some Time Later

"…Happy Birthday Hugo and Lily, Happy Birthday to you!" Harry sang as he served the kids their own little pieces of cake, each of them making a mess before any of the sweet had reached their mouths.

"Lovely, thanks guys," Ron wiped inefficiently at the two little chocolate handprints that lined his face, and Teddy chose that time to snap a picture, making Ron blink in surprise and Hugo and Rose wave their hands madly and gurgle. Harry hugged Hermione from behind, giving her a sweet kiss on the neck, which Teddy also snapped a picture of, and then their impromptu photographer was off to take more pictures at their housewarming/first birthday parties. Even though it had been three weeks since their moving and a couple months since Hugo's official party, it had been easier this way.

Molly came over and swooped up Lily Luna, whispering a softer cleaning spell at the child and then giving her a little stuffed creature that had been a gift, and telling James to go get his presents for the children and then helping Albus and Scorpius to wash their hands before eating their cake. Ginny was standing next to Draco, laughing at something he had said and rubbing her own stomach, leaning over to kiss her new husband on the cheek before screeching something at George who was handing something over to James Sirius and then looking up at his sister with something akin to innocence shining in his eyes. Hand running over the stone pendant that lay tucked beneath his shirt that Harry often noticed, a flicker of something out of the corner of his eye as he sensed someone else there in their gathering of family and friends. He was suddenly sure that Fred and the others were once again nearby, and he noted how healthy George looked, not at all as he had prior to Harry's generous gift.

After presents and more desserts, Severus tapped his goblet with a fork, gathering everyone's attention and slowly rising up, casting a spell to allow himself to be heard in the large living room they were now situated in. The natural light fell gently on his face, and his scars on his neck stood out starkly in comparison to the rich burgundy and black robes he wore, but his face was more at peace than any of the people there had seen during the war.

"Friends, we are gathered here to …celebrate the life of two more Potter-Weasley's (though Merlin knows there are enough of them)" Snape paused, smiled at the chuckles his brusque tone got, before continuing on in his huskier voice."In all seriousness, I must give my blessings to this family, and wish them every happiness in the world," he allowed for a brief calling of cheers and applause before speaking again. "We are also here to bond these three together as more than the Golden Trio—as they are so fondly remembered as—and instead initiate a long and lasting Triad bond as these three take the final steps to making this relationship officially…official." Surprised murmurs and then Ginny took up the clapping and was the first to hug her ex-husband, and then her sister-in-law and brother, giving her love and allowing them all to coo over her belly as the rest of the room began to congratulate the trio.

"If you are all quite finished," Snape said a few minutes later, he raised up his wand and then revealed a curtained off alcove where he had already set up for the ceremony, and he then cleared back the furniture and led the trio to the front of the alcove, where he and Minerva would do the honours.

"We come together here, to bear witness and bless the Triad here, as they continue down the path of unity together…"

Hours later, in bed, Harry and Ron were both eagerly sucking one another off as Hermione rimmed Ron and fingered herself, loving the obscene sounds coming from her bondmates and humming on the residual bonding feelings, as the unity settled and their links cemented. Ron came first, with Hermione's tongue drawing out the pleasure and then swallowing eagerly as Harry finished in his mouth, before Harry was pushing up and then eating out Hermione, who was so close she barely needed the encouragement, but welcomed it nonetheless.

"Oh fuck, that was good," Ron spoke to the ceiling, and Harry groaned into Hermione's thighs, murmuring a cleaning spell and basking in the emotions he could feel from the other two, although already the link was becoming less intrusive and was slowly sinking into his skin. Another lick of desire crawled over his skin and he cried out as he felt it being doubled and then tripled as it ricocheted off Hermione and Ron, bringing them all higher and then he was climbing behind Ron as he scrambled to get between Hermione's legs. Already pushing in as Harry prepped him and then Ron was being fucked hard from behind by one bondmate, and being welcomed eagerly into another, crying out as the three of them rocked together. Ron let on hand rise up to clutch at Harry's neck and increase the pace and then dropped it back down to play with Hermione's nipple, pulling at it and teasing it as he leant over for a kiss. They all seemed to be building up one final piece of magic, as the bond formed and reformed, being woven more tightly and deeper as the magic and pleasure came to a crescendo they all felt a strange zapping rush and then were blinded by orgasm and magic and love. Then they were all groaning and cuddling, being pulled under into sleep and hardly noticing the continued fluctuating magic floating about the place as Ron allowed the other two to sandwich him in the middle.

Harry woke up to the feeling of Hermione playing with his hair, and he smiled into Ron's chest, grumbling a sleepy good morning and feeling oddly warm and tired, even after so much sleep.

"I can't believe how crazy things got last night," Hermione smiled as she spoke and Harry chuckled, remembering the hours of love making as the Triad Bond finally settled. Ron was still out, snoring softly and humming in his sleep as Harry rubbed his chest lightly, admiring the love bites he and Hermione had decorated the paler flesh with. He and Hermione were also similarly adorned and he had to admit that while last night had been incredible, he didn't always need such frantic love making.

"Yeah, and it's a good thing we cast those protection spells this morning, I don't think I would've remembered right before we got in here, it's a good thing Severus reminded us," Harry murmured as Ron slowly woke up, and Hermione agreed, but something odd niggled in the back of her mind.

"W-what?" Ron mumbled, and he looked even more tired than the other two, Harry noted, and his face was flushed, perspiration lining his head and making his red hair look darker. The sight triggered something in Harry, and the mixed tastes of Bertie Beans, radish and too-sweet chocolate all converged on his memory a moment before Ron's eyes snapped open and a hand crept up to his neck, already feeling the magic tingling there.

"Oh bugger," Ron moaned as he finally woke up, and the other two froze, the pieces finally all clicking into place. Hermione laughed, and then Harry joined in and finally Ron did too and it felt so good, and they were all thanking the stars they had invested in such a large place, complete with backyard and vegetable garden – all loaded up with radishes, even though Harry could barely stand the sight of them nowadays – and extra bedrooms.

"Well, like Hermione said on our first night together, it's a good thing we're fans of crowds, at least this kind of crowd," Harry murmured and the other two agreed, all three of them sighing as they heard Molly and the children coming in downstairs, Severus and Ginny's voices mingling together. Minutes later they all quietly slipped on lounge clothes to go and join their family and friends; the circle of loved ones that made up their chosen crowd and life, who were about to be pleasantly surprised with the news of yet another addition (enough Potter-Weasley's in the world, indeed).

The End

** I do not own the terms/concepts/names/characters of Elogium, mitral sac, Kes, or Kenneth Schweitzer – they are all a part of the Star Trek (Voyager) universe, and I thought it would be an interesting take on mpreg in the Wizarding world.

A/N: I also included Snape cos I effin love him (and in my mind, he did not die), and if you don't like that or think Severus is being too cozy with the world, just imagine that when he's not being like this, he's just his own dark, pissy, lovable self. He's just gives people more of a break now that he is free to be himself.

Draco/Ginny is another pairing I usually do not read as a main one, but will enjoy from time to time as a side pairing, and I think the Albus/Scorpius friendship is amazing, and the pairing is adorable. I have not thought of a name for Ron's baby, but I think something like Jane Evans would be suitable, and she would likely have Ron's eyes, Harry's style hair, but in something more auburn and would be studious like her mother and a bit of a food vacuum like her father, but also need glasses like her dad, and still she'd be her own person!

Oh right, warnings for Mpreg? Lol, a little late, but that would've ruined everything, and oh yeah, trio-pron, and triad bonding…and, lots of sex, and…warnings for overload of fluff!

So, they may have been a little rushed-but I just wanted to write something out and I thought I'd start with something new-oh, I'll be editing this sucker soon, haha, as I said in the pro. "no one beta this baby" :P -point out errors, but know that I'm exhausted and should be sleeping now-not writing! Uwah, HP fever...Off to sleep and dream sweet thoughts of Triads and Tom/Harry fic, (HP or ST:VOY? Who knows! =O)

Give me your thoughts, concrits, loving, hating, words of dooming awesomeness - I'm going to go sleep for four hours and continue living...wish me luck! And good luck to you as well! :3
