"Rabastan, come quick!" Ursula shouted excitedly. She was sitting in the women's parlor of the Lestrange Mansion sewing embroidery, on a silk lined baby blanket, using the same techniques she was taught as a young girl by her mother. She had laid Hermione, her now two, almost three month old daughter on the thick, soft fur rug, surrounded by pillows. As she was working on her embroidery she heard her baby begun to fuss and paused to check on what was making her cranky thinking she might have dropped her toy and saw her little angel and miracle had herself almost rolled onto her side.

With a quick confirmation from the house elf that was helping keep watch hadn't assisted into the change of position she began to call for her husband who was enjoying his Saturday off by catching up on the happenings of Quiditch through the prophet.

"What, what's wrong?" He asked gasping from his anxious sprint from down the long hallway."

"Look, look at Hermione!" She giggled and clapped from her position on the settee, where she was encouraging to keep rolling. She didn't dare move in fear of distracting the determined baby.

"Did you set her that way…" He trailed off as her saw his brilliant daughter rolled all the way onto her belly. "You my beauty are magnificent." He swooped down and patted her diaper padded bottom before brushing his hands through her hair. He looked over his shoulder to his gorgeous wife whom he will be married to for a year this coming November 20th, and gestured for her to join him and their daughter. She did so and they both observed as who moved her little head as much as she could to see around the cozy room.

It was that display of familial bonding that a beyond excited Rodolphus and Bellatrix burst in on.

"We have to celebrate! I'm going to be a mummy, mama, mum, mother; whatever my little one will wish to call me." She paused there before letting out a large gasp. "I have to go shopping."

"Bella, you must calm down. The healer said you have to keep from stressing out your body. We have to wait another three months before we tell anyone else. I realize we performed the ritual but that was to help us and insure we conceive. Not that the pregnancy is a success." Rodolphus sternly reminded her as he guided her to sit down on the settee that Ursula had vacated in favor of being close to her wonderful husband and baby girl.

"That's absolutely wonderful news. I speak for all three of us when I say that we couldn't be more delighted for you." Rabastan said as he picked up Hermione before walking to his brother and sister in law. He hugged them both with his right arm as he supported Hermione with his left.

"Bella, I know its months away but, may I suggest have Rodolphus in the room with you when you give birth." Ursula spoke with a mischievous glint in her eyes, as she moved towards the other three.

"For support?" Bella asked unsure as Rabastan smirked at a nervous looking Rodolphus. Rodolphus was sure he wouldn't like what his sister in law's answer to his wife's question.

"No, so you can take your anger out on his hand for putting you into the painful situation you'll find yourself in." She laughed along with Bella and the men groaned.

"Well we have some good news of our own. Hermione rolled over all on her today without any prompting and, due to Rabastan being insatiable we're pregnant again." Everyone looked at her except Hermione who was now asleep and wouldn't have understood anyways. They weren't sure if she was joking or not.

"What, when, how?" Rabastan asked when she didn't elaborate and he finally had his voice back along with the ability to think.

"We're having another baby, because you couldn't keep your hands to yourself after the last meeting when we still had another two weeks to wait. And as to how, well you seem to be an expert on the process but, I'd love to show you later tonight." She told him while taking Hermione into her arms.

"I'm sorry, I feel like I'm stealing your thunder. Since it's our second baby, we'll put the focus on you and Rodolphus. Especially since you have always been told children of your own, wasn't possible." Ursula apologized sincerely.

"It's understandable, it's not like you can control it. Besides, now our baby will have two cousins to be close to in age. It will be good for when they all start Hogwarts." Bella smiled once the new information processed. She yawned before continuing. "I can understand why you slept so much during your first pregnancy Ursula and why Narcissa is the same way. I am amazed you haven't been showing those same signs."

"I've had the distraction and energy using business of Hermione." Ursula laughed stopping midway with a yawn of her own. "I say we head to bed." Bellatrix agreed and the women bid goodnight to their husbands and went upstairs with Hermione to settle for the night.

The two brothers were sitting in the formal sitting room when they heard the floo followed by the panicked voice of Lucius Malfoy.

"Cissy has gone into labor." He announced coming into the room. "Where are Bella and Ursula?" He asked looking around the room.

"They just left for bed ten minutes ago. We'll leave them here though and alert them once Narcissa has given birth. We have just found out that both of our lovely wives are with child. With Bella and I having been told we couldn't conceive I don't want her under any stress and that includes worry over her sister while she is in labor. As for Ursula I don't think the stress needs to be added as she has her hands full with Hermione and another on the way." Rodolphus spoke as he led the other two men to the fireplace to floo out.

As it turns out, Rodolphus' thoughtful and safety concerned plan wasn't taken well by the hormonal pregnant women. It was a painful mistake that his ass, along with Rabastan's and Lucius' asses, felt with well-aimed stinging hexes, after Draco Lucius Malfoy was introduced to the world.

"Darling, I'm sorry, truly I only had your health and the health of our baby that I didn't tell you until after." Rodolphus was begging forgiveness from his hormonally irrational wife.

"Our baby, oh Rodolphus you sweet, sexy, strong, brave, loving, perfectly sculpted man. Let's go to bed. I think I need a reminder of some activities that brought about our baby." She leapt from her seat in a winged back chair of the large library and Rodolphus was quick to follow. He bumped into his brother on the way out and winked to signal his return to his wife's good graces. Rabastan scowled and continued on his way to his own rooms he shared with his wife. He was bringing a snack he was told by the house elves that she craved while pregnant with Hermione. He was hoping that the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting would help win his wife's growing affections back or at least calm her down enough for him to woo his way back onto her good side.

"Honey, I have something I think we'll raise your spirits." He said all the while thinking, somewhat, jealously of how Lucius was quickly forgiven due to the happiness of the newly born Draco and that his brother somehow managed to worm his way back in with Bella. Most likely from the desired hormone shift into arousal he mused.

"Is that carrot cake? How'd you find out, I had to hide that I ate it with Hermione, otherwise the healer would throw a fit." She pouted before falling into her doting husbands' arms, after taking the cake, looking for sympathy and the comfort of his touch.

"I have an in with the elves." He murmured, nibbling on her ear. He took the plate from her hands and guided Ursula to their giant bed and laid her down.
