I sat on the bed as my family piled in to see my darling boys who I swear tried to make it out as quickly as possible. Alexander, affectionately nicknamed Alex, entered the world first and foremost. He is just all squiggly and chubby with his tiny little legs and feet I really could just pop into my mouth and eat they are so chubby and yummy. He had big green eyes that just suck you in, quite like his daddy's. He seems to be more alert and interested in his surroundings. He keeps glancing around the room and over at his younger brother who was just silently laying there.
Jacob, Jake for short, entered the world last but not least. He just gave one single cry and seemed to be over the whole baby cliché. He waited patiently for the nurse to clean him and seemed to become attached to us the moment he set eyes on us. He is also a tiny little porker he is, with those fat pinch able cheeks that you need to clasp your fingers over. I knew from the moment I saw him that he would have to have his middle name Sirius. Hello this is a serious baby. Kind of a play on words and whatever.
"Oh Ginny they're marvelous," mum said welling up again as she touched Alex. She kissed Harry on the head and whispered something in his ear. It better not be here thanks for him knocking me up…I couldn't handle that at all!
"Mother of Merlin Gin!" Fred exclaimed when he saw their size. "These are like piglets! How did you squeeze these out without ripping in half?"
I just smiled at his comment because I was really thinking the same thing. They each weight about eight or nine pounds. That birth should have killed me had I not been to stubborn to give up.
"I don't know…" I said smiling. My eyes were drooping but I wouldn't let myself slip into sleep just yet. Besides I wanted to be awake for my babies!
Remus walked in and hugged Harry gruffly. Harry hugged him back just as roughly and they didn't let go of each other for a long time. Tonks had come over holding onto a tiny little baby bundled into a blue, velour blanket. She also had another boy attached to her leg while a girl proudly crossed the room and kissed Ginny on the cheek.
"Guess what?" Lola Lupin asked excitedly. I turned to her with a bright smile as Tonks kissed my head and let me feel the baby's head. "My daddy's a werewolf!" she said and gave a loud howl.
I snorted and Tonks looked horrified. "Lola Andromeda Lupin what have I told you about that?"
Lola just smirked and kissed Ginny's cheek. At five she knew that her parents really didn't mind what she did just as long as she kept safe.
"How did she even find out?" I hissed as Lola held onto her younger brother.
"Remus let it slip," Tonks said patting my hand. "You did good."
"Thanks," I said sleepily and tried to keep my eyes open.
"Ginny?" Harry asked softly. I turned to him with a giant smile as I saw the baby he had in his hand. He was the chubbiest little cherub ever and I just had to hold him.
"Hello Alex," I whispered happily and moved him on to the side so Jake could rest next to me. Once on top of me it felt as if someone had dropped bowling balls onto me. It was the best feeling in the world. Harry kicked off his shoes and slid in next to me as everyone milled around the room oohing and ahhing over the babies. I just smiled proudly and kissed their heads.
Ron kissed my cheek and placed a ten month old Mia on the ground where she managed to stand, but still needed his fingers to keep her balance.
"My hero," Hermione muttered into my ear as she gently brushed my hair into a ponytail. It had fallen out because I kept moving and twisting in pain. It's all good now. I smiled at her and almost laughed had to babies not stopped my chest from moving.
Three hours later everyone had filed out and left me and Harry alone to get some sleep. I knew that my mother and Hermione, and maybe even Tonks, were waiting in the kitchen in case I needed help. Right now all I needed was a quick nap or something like that. Harry allowed me to rest my head onto his chest as the babies dozed peacefully in their adjoining crib.
"I love you," I whispered sleepily.
"I love you too," Harry said fiercely and kissed my head. I let myself fall into a deep slumber.
Another four hours later I was awoken by a small sniffle and quickly sat up, knocking Harry's head off of mine so that he jumped up.
"Wassamatter?" he asked blearily and pulled on his glasses. I looked at the crib where Jacob was shifting slightly. He seemed to be wakening so I slid out of bed and made my way over to him. He looked up at me with a calculating expression that made me smile and gladly slid into my arms. His weight felt right and perfect, even though I could feel my muscles sizing up with the expected loud I would be carrying around now.
"Hello baby," I said in a soft, soothing voice. He didn't cry just blinked at me for a moment before leaning closer into me. I smiled and sat down in the rocker someone had enough brains to put in the room, my guess was Mione. I leaned into it, my short white nightgown flowing around my legs. Jake seemed to be hungry because he kept looking at me weirdly. Finally I just pulled aside the buttons and exposed myself so he could suckle. He did greedily and it pinched a bit but soon it felt comforting and just nice. This was something that I could do with just him and me, and then with Alex.
Harry watched me for a moment before I smiled over at him sweetly. "Yes dear?" I asked my eyes all foggy and whatever from sleep deprivation.
"Did I ever tell you that I think you are the sexiest, most amazing woman I have ever laid eyes on?" he asked just watching me with passion.
"It might have come up once or twice," I said casually. He smirked at me and left the room for a moment. As soon as he left Alex started to cry and I looked over at him.
"It's alright baby," I cooed but my voice wasn't enough for him. He kept crying and thrashing around. "Alex baby," I tried again and he let out another loud wail that frightened me. I tried to adjust Jake so I could go see the other baby but Jake was at an awkward position and I would suffocate him if I did.
Harry entered the room to see me looking frightened with giant tears in my eyes. I stared at him for a moment before bursting into hysterical tears.
"Alright," Harry said comfortingly. He walked over and picked up Alex gently and he stopped crying immediately, Alex not Harry.
I just patted Jake's arm while he continued to breast feed which is another thing people tell you is so magical. I know I've said that it is wonderful personal time or some bogus shit like that but really you have to sit there for endless hours until the milk is all gone. That's like waiting for someone to drink from a water bottle on a cold day. There is no guarantee they'll even do it and then you're left with this half filled…thing that drips and whatever. I wont get gross because I unlike some other people, Hermione, do not feel the need to share everything that happens. It might seem like I might or want to…but I don't!
"How did you do that?" I asked trying to wipe the tear that was making my nose all itchy and drippy. I kept flicking my head to the side and nothing happened. Well the tear drop went up my nose…
"I have the magic touch," Harry said making faces at the baby who was just staring at him. Really why do that? You spend countless minutes puckering up and whatever and this baby doesn't even know it's alive. Hell it just got pushed into the world not even twenty-four hours ago.
"Sure," I said and attempted to get up. Jake allowed me and I went over to the bed where Harry was sitting peacefully. Mother of Merlin I am wicked sore! My entire body is just telling me to sit down and stop moving because I did just loose sixteen pounds of human life. How many women do you know who do that daily? Well some women do…but never daily and hardly ever eight pound twins.
I crumpled onto the bed and Harry kissed me again. I just gave him a sleepy smile and leaned my head on his shoulder. That moment of silent bliss lasted thirty seconds before Jake literally pushed my boob away from his face. I didn't know whether I should feel hurt or relieved he didn't want it anymore. Now it was Alex's turn. Your body must put more milk in if they know there's going to be twins. It's like if you go to a take-out and let them know there are a lot of people in your muggle car, they'll give you extra ketchup. My body must have saw, or felt, the extra baby and gave me another boob of milk. Very crafty.
One Sleepless Week Later
I look like a beat-up, smelly bird woman. My hair must have a nest in there and my eyes are all droopy from lack of sleep. All theses gorgeous little miracles do is cry! They are a week old! What the fuck could they possibly be crying about? I feed them and I change them and I keep them warm. Hell I tell them that I love them every thirty seconds!
"C'mon Alex…shh it's ok momma's got you," I said desperately. It was three in the morning and I have had maybe an hour of sleep…all week. Give or take twenty minutes.
Alex gave another wail and I tried to keep as calm as I could while Harry ran to get a bottle or some nappies. I placed him closer to my chest and tried to swing him back and forth but he just wailed again.
"Please go to sleep! I am your mother! I brought you into this world and I am telling you to sleep!" I finally wailed and then…silence. At first I thought my eardrums had finally burst and I was put out of my short lived misery…but Alex was sleeping. He fell fast asleep. My yelling rendered him unconscious! I knew seventeen years with my mother would pay off.
Harry came back into the room looking just as roughed up as I was. He stared at me and then slid down the door and put his head in his hands.
"Are you crying?" I hissed angrily. He just looked up at me annoyed and thrust the bottle into my hands. I took it gratefully and placed it near the crib in case Alex wanted it again. I was praying they would let me sleep for the rest of night but I didn't see that happening. They seemed to like the game they played.
One twin would wake and keep me up for an hour, fall asleep, let my get thirty minutes of sleep, then twin two would wake up for an hour and keep me up and continue this sick cycle. Sometimes Harry would get up instead and then in that case, both would wake up. They hate me already. I can totally tell.
We slid into bed and leaned against each other.
"I love you," he whispered and I kissed his head half-heartedly. I had no more strength left in me. These little amazing babies sucked it out of me.
"I love you too," I said back and fell asleep.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" a baby cried.
I began to sob uncontrollably and made to get up.
"You stay. I'll get it," Harry said and stumbled out of the room. I watched him go and smiled to myself. I seriously married the most amazing man in the entire world.
Hermione says that without magic the babies will only do this for a couple of months and then stop…I am totally using magic to speed up this process. Otherwise I am a silly muggle sobbing over her hair. I will not stoop to that level.
A/N Please read and review. This is more like a filler but hey! I try.
Also now I don't mean to bitch again, but I try my best! I hate when people pick out all these little mistakes I make. I am only one person who busts her ass to get chapters to twenty different stories. I am totally going to make mistakes. I just wrote a chapter for one story while thinking of something else in another story and I had to delete the entire thing. I literally burst into tears. So please from now on, if you want chapters weekly even daily, do not bitch because I make some tiny mistake. Thank you!
(Zen!) All better.
