A.N. I do not own Harry Potter

Chloe had to get up once during the night to feed them and she was learning when one wants something, expect the other to follow. She also insisted on changing the diapers herself. She did it with Teddy, not the end of the world.

Marcus was the only visitor allowed in before noon but that was due to him being the father of the twins. Chloe was asleep when he walked in but kept the noise down to not wake her up. The medi-witch must have found a bigger bassinet which is better for twins to share. Ewan was out like a light but Lily was up. He saw the one green eye and one violet eye. He did pick her up and he did know to pick one up. Cassius had made him godfather to his son.

Lily did not know what to think by the look but she settled right into him with her tiny head against the crook of his neck while making cooing sounds. He would wait to pick Ewan up when he wakes up. One of the medi-witches came in and saw Marcus with his daughter.

"You are her father right?"

You might want to wake up Chloe and you might want to get your son up too. Healer Backstrom is making her rounds. The babies should be getting their first sets of immunizations today."

While holding Lily, he did have a question "What immunizations do they get now?"

"We in the United States have been vaccinating against dragon pox for years and it is safe for newborns. They get that one along with mumps, measles, rubella, and bacterial meningitis."

Marcus looked over at Chloe and she looked like she went through the wringer but there again, she just had two children and major abdominal surgery. He shook her shoulder gently "Chloe, wake up." Chloe sat up suddenly and grimace. "Should not have done this, sitting up like that."

Healer Backstrom came in and began the examination and Marcus stepped out because they were most likely going to discuss female health that he was sure Chloe did not want him hearing but did not want to know himself.

"Chloe, your incision site looks excellent. You should be sore for about three weeks which is all it takes to recover from the surgery. You may be able to get in the water to swim when you get discharged or go walking but that is it. I am going to start you on a postnatal nutrient potion which will benefit you in recovery and give your children some extra nutrients in their milk. You will most likely notice your chest feeling a little heavy and tight but for first time mothers, this is normal and will stop when you stop the potion.

Now, Lily and Ewan are looking great. Have they started feeding yet?"

"Yes they have."

"Good, I will be back later in the day. I will send the medi-witch in with the potion."

Marcus came back in "Do I want to know?"

He is a male and Chloe is not sure he could take it "Women's health stuff, it might be a little too much for your male sensibilities." The medi-witch came in with a purple potion "This is the nutrient potion Healer Backstrom ordered. You will be taking one phile three times a day. You should feel the effects right away." Chloe drank it down and it tasted like very sour grapes. Her chest felt very tight and heavy. She roughed out a pregnancy with twins, she can do this.

Soon they were swamped by visitors. The chaser trio and Fay were the ones there and gushed over the twins. Fay had brought them enchanted stuffed lion cubs for them to have in the bassinet.

"Are you trying to corrupt them? They are a day old and will take after me and go into Slytherin." Marcus had to shut up because he was outnumbered and sometimes he did need to learn how to shut up.

Fay had a smirk that could rival a Slytherin "With Katie, Alicia, Angelina, and I as their aunts; we will teach them properly." Chloe was having fun making him squirm. "Why thank you, I know we will be an excellent team."

Marcus needed a come back and quick because he was being out witted. He did recall his grandfather having a crush on Dorea Black but she fell in love with Charlus Potter. "Chloe, wasn't your grandmother in Slytherin? They will have Ades, Cassius, and myself to teach them. They may be related to Godric Gryffindor himself but it does not mean they need to go to the house of no self-preservation."

"What do you mean no self-preservation?"

Time to make Chloe squirm. "Chloe, the three years I played against you proved one thing. You fly like a bloody maniac, case in point; your infamous dive that no sane quidditch player can do or should do. If the seekers on every team that I played on that does not include school, the coach would have read him or her the riot act and be put through remedial training for that."

Chloe was not going to let him win at all. "Wood told me that Higgs could not handle sharp turns and it would be the best way to put the screws to him. Plus then there was the house rivalry which I was taught that Slytherin has never won a game without cheating" All of Chloe ' s friends began laughing "You act like you are an old married couple."

Chloe grabbed one of her spare pillows and flung it at Fay which hit her in the face then she summoned it back before it hit the floor "Accio pillow." The pillow was back on her lap. Marcus knew Chloe was powerful but so few can do wandless magic never mind even one spell without magic.

"So Chloe, how much wandless magic can you do?" "I could retake my NEWTS without a wand and I plan on teaching the twins that."

Fay had one more question "Are you up for any take away? It would be better than the crap that they serve in the hospital."

"What do you have in mind?"

"Nothing serious, just some pizza and I could bring back Cokes if you want."

Chloe having regained her appetite had her response "Could get some with pineapple on it please." The girls looked nauseated, pregnancy has ruined her taste buds.

Marcus having no clue in muggle take away would try this "Don't worry Flint, normal people do not get pizza with pineapple on it. You can have it plain with cheese, different vegetables, and meats."

"Get something with meat on it. Do they have sausage?"

"Yes and one last , brought onesies for them to wear home ". Angelina, Alicia, Katie, and Fay were having too much fun at Marcus'

expense. Chloe opened the blue and pink boxes. In white and red, the onesies read "Future Lion" and "Future Lioness."

"Why thank you." Right then and there, the twins decided that they needed to be fed and all left the room to give the new mother some privacy. Yes they were hungry and they showed it too. They would need diaper changes in an hour. Marcus came back in as she got her gown back up.

Now that the girls were gone, Marcus could reclaim some pride from the lioness that gained up on him. Maybe he should have had Ades and Cassius here. "Chloe, they will not be wearing it home."

"Why, they are adorable?"

"You are corrupting them. No one in my family has been anywhere else but Slytherin but now our children face the problem of having the Gryffindor princess herself as their mother."

So that was the problem "You know there is no guarantee where we go. For all we know they may end up in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. They are only one day old. Now I will try to tone down the amount Gryffindor themed outfits but it's bloody tempting. However, the enchanted lion cubs are too cute and they stay."

Marcus would need to find a way to counteract this and one thing is he needs to teach them self-preservation because their mother does not have it. If the stories are true, then it is worse than what he could imagine. He did see some scars that maybe from the war but one caught his eye. When Chloe was putting the sleeve of her hospital gown back up from feeding the babies, he saw a scar that looked like her arm had been impaled on something.

The healer came back in for another examination and told Marcus "You don't need to leave. It's your children receiving their vaccines." There were several mini injectors and unfortunately, they would be made uncomfortable but it is to keep them safe which is more important. Chloe handed over Lily first since she was the easiest to reach. "Sorry little one, you are not going to like this." Lily began crying and Marcus picked her up to calm her down. Ewan was next and he was not happy at all. The healer gave him back and he settled into her neck.

Marcus had his first taste of pizza and was in love with the food and gagged when he saw the pineapple pizza. It just does not seem right. He also tried the vegetable pizza as well and it was not that bad. Then he tried a small piece of pineapple pizza and nearly threw up. Being pregnant ruined her taste buds.

Warrington would not be in yet and would be taking a portkey to Texas was his wife on Friday and it is only Wednesday. Adrian made a visit after lunch.

"So this is my godson and goddaughter."

Adrian had a talent of coming on too strong and has caused him to be hexed on numerous occasions which he did deserve. Adrian also suffers from word vomit, like Marcus.

The twin were being held in Chloe ' s arms as she laid back into the bed. "Yes they are".

Marcus looked like some help arrived "Mate, Chloe and her friends have been bringing Gryffindor propaganda. I need your help." Right as Marcus was saying it, he came over wanting to hold his son and Chloe gently handed him over.

"What do you need my help with mate?"

"Between Cassius, you, and myself; we need to make sure they do not fall prey to the brainwashing their mother and her friends are putting them through. That's just mean."

Adrian looked over to the little ones in their parents arms and Ewan looked just like Marcus while Lily looked like a combination of the two of them with Lily having Chloe ' s unnatural bloody red color that was cascading curls. "Marc didn't know you had a thing for redheads, is this a first?" All he was doing was seeing if he could get a rise out of Chloe.

"Pucey, define redhead to me or are you referring the Weasley carrot top."

Marcus erupted in laughter at that one, so she does have a redhead temper. "I was just seeing if the rumors were true about your temper. I guess they are right."

"Prat"

Adrian did snap a few pictures of Chloe, Marcus, and the twins. He knew Marcus was trying to keep this out of the Prophet. There were a few people in their circle of friends that knew and all agreed to keep the twins away from the Prophet. They would have a field day with the twins being born out of wedlock, her being the hero.

Also, Marcus had earned himself a bad boy reputation and would most likely go after him just because the Prophet still assumes that Slytherin makes them evil. T here would also be the ones who would claim that Marcus is gold and title digging. Marcus' came from a very well off family but not as well off as the Potters. Marcus being a professional quidditch player would have a large vault himself. If you go on the grounds of titles then you can not say anything about him being a title seeker since his father was a lord.

He knew Chloe and Marcus would have some questions to answer once the twins come to Hogwarts and maybe Ewan and Lily will have a little brother or sister some day.

A.N. I am going to have Andromeda and Warrington meet the twins next. Holly will come in later.
