Chapter 13: Their own Christmas Miracle

Three weeks later Harry was sure that the women of the house had completely lost their minds. He thought it was nice when the Christmas tree went up and the Yule Bow above the fireplace. Now however the house looked as if Santa' workshop had exploded. The bedrooms were the only part of the house not decorated. Well if you didn't include the "little" tree in the nursery. Really how you called a six foot Christmas tree little he did not know. He at least was not dumb enough to say anything, that job had fallen to Emmett when he said, "I don't see what the big deal is their not even one yet. They are not going to remember."

That started a lecture for him by each and every one of the women of the house about how important a baby's first Christmas was. Esme had boxed his ears going on about the idea that her grandchildren did not deserve the best. Emmett had finally offered to put the lights on the outside of the house. Personally Harry thought it was just to get away from them.

Luna, Rosalie and Alice had gone shopping for pajamas. Luckily Ron had asked why they needed them as none of them sleep. This of course got him lectured about the tradition of opening presents in your pajamas. He at least was smart enough to admit defeat before it got too bad.

So here they sat in the family room with Christmas carols playing on the stereo and a twelve foot Christmas tree that had more presents under it than Harry had ever seen in his life. They had all taken their seats in their pajamas which consisted of high end silk nightgowns for the girls and designer sleep pants and t-shirts for the guys. Luna and Alice had declared they were "Santa's Elves" and were distributing packages.

As the pile grew by each of them, Harry got quieter and quieter. Seeing this Neville finally got up and went over to him. Then kneeling down so that he could look Harry in the face as he was staring at the floor and he said. "Harry, it's okay. And it will never be like that again. Teddy will never have it like that."

Harry shook his head and took a heavy breath before looking up. Neville went back to his seat as Luna and Alice stepped forward handing him a package saying, "Harry this is from us. We made if for you."

Harry took the package and opened it. He gasped as he pulled out a beautiful jumper with an italic capital H on it, when he wore it the H would be over his heart. He pulled it to his chest and leaned into Edward as he sobbed. Edward wrapped his arms around him and looked to his family questioningly.

It was Ron that finally spoke up to explain, "Harry had never had a present before he started Hogwarts. We stayed at school that first Yule and on Christmas morning Harry got his first present. My mother had made him a Weasley jumper. It was sort of a tradition. His had a big H on it and mine had big R. He got one every year, he said it made him feel like a part of the family. We didn't get one last year."

Luna piped up from where she was still distributing presents, "This starts a new tradition, the Cullen jumper; that's a sweater to you Yanks."

Harry finally recovered and sat back in his seat. He was about say something when Oliver beat him to it. "This is all too much; you have done so much for us already."

Esmen waived him saying, "This is just the right amount. Because it is what we wanted to do, it's not like you can deny Freddie because he has such a big family."

Laughing Emmett added, "Yeah, and three aunts addicted to shopping."

Everyone laughed as Rosalie hit him over the head with a package. That broke the tension and everyone settled down and started opening presents. True to their word Alice and Luna had made Cullen jumpers for all of them. Even little Teddy and Freddie got one that someone had to help them open. Things went fine till Harry opened a package for Teddy, which had a sterling silver rattle in it. "Okay a sterling silver rattle? Now that is just too much."

Edward just shook his head plucked the rattle from Harry's fingers and handed it to Teddy as he spoke, "It is not excessive. Every Mason child as had this rattle for five generations. Teddy makes it six." For that he was rewarded when Harry planted a kiss on him that left him dizzy, and with a really goofy smile.

They all got tones of clothes thanks to Esme and Rosalie and all kinds of things that interested them. The gifts truly fit each of their personalities. Carlisle had gotten a new doctors bag, it looked similar to the one he had carried many years ago. Only this one was made of dragon hid and the inside was wizard space, holding much more than it should, and had a featherweight charm on it. Esme got a kitchenaid station, which apparently would do just about anything. Emmett had gotten several video games and a collection of vampire movies, or as he called them comedies. Rosalie had received a solid silver vanity set. Jasper was now the owner of leather bound books chronicling the rise of the Holy Roman Empire. Alice was pleased with her Hippogriff quill and multicolor ink set. Edward received original sheet music from an obscure Russian composer, which he was very fond of. Harry gushed over his ipod with all his favorite music, and every recording they could find of Edward's compositions. Cedric received a 14th century copy of Homer's Iliad. Ron had gotten the newest top of the line racing broom, or it would be when it was available next year. Draco could not get over his crystal and onyx wizard's chess set. And Jacob looked amazing in his dragon hid coat. Luna loved her crystal necklace that was charmed to turn all the colors of the rainbow. While Neville could not wait to tryout his new heavy duty gardening tools, since he kept breaking normal ones. Oliver now had his own set of Quidditch balls. Marcus was without a doubt the most excited, pureblood Slytherin that he had been he now was fascinated with anything muggle, and couldn't wait to try his new computer.

There had been singing and dancing, lots of playing games and even family photos, both muggle and wizard. So it was late in the evening when they all finally headed to their rooms. They still didn't sleep, well except for Jacob and the babies, but it was nice after living in a home that everyone could hear everything to have private time as a couple.

Draco smirked as he closed the door.

Jacob was behind him grabbing him by the waist in an instant and whisper into his ear, "You are evil you know?"

Putting on his best innocent face Draco asked, "What have I done?"

Jacob not buying the act growled, "You have been teasing me for hours." Pulling Draco back against him he said. "Do you feel how hard you make me? It's been like that for hours. Your whole family knows they can smell it. Jasper had to step out of the house twice before he literally threw Alice over his shoulder and carried her up to their room. You like teasing me don't you?"

With a smirk Draco said, "What if I do?"

Draco ground back feeling Jacob's raging erection making Jacob growl, "Too much clothes."

Draco smirked again and with a wave of his hand they were naked. He arched back into the hot flesh behind him. "What are going to do to me for teasing you?"

Faster the he thought Jacob could move they were on the bed. Draco on his back and Jacob between his legs, as Jacob ground himself against Draco's entrance he growled. "I am going to show you what happened when you tease a wolf."

Draco nodded as Jacob became more aggressive. "I'm going to show you that you are mine."

"Yours." Draco moaned.

With a feral grin Jacob said, "I am going to fuck you into the mattress."

Nodding Draco moaned, "Yes."

Jacob growled down at him, "Gonna make you see stars."

"Please." Draco whimpered.

Draco moaned low in his throat as the hot rigid flesh entered him. And Jacob did all the things he had promised. It was not sweet and tender. It was rough and animalistic. He made every fantasy of hot sex pale in comparison as Jacob took him. Jacob was pounding into him and shifted positions making Draco's eyes roll back in his head and the Veela in his dead blood scream. Jacob was the only one in his life that he had ever submitted to in anyway. And he was in heaven. The pounding of Jacob's massive erection had stirred the Veela and Draco could not think.

Finally a sweating and gasping for breath Jacob slammed into him, exploding and pushing him to explode, with a mutual cry of "MATE".

As Jacob lay down his massive chest heaving as he tried to regain his breathing Draco realized that they had actually moved from the foot of the bed, where Jacob's feet had been on the floor, to him being propped against the headboard. With a wave of his hand the evidence of their joining was cleaned way. And he ran his fingers through Jacobs black hair as his breathing evened out and sleep claimed him, his head still on his mate's cold chest.

It was in the early morning hours that Jacobs's eyes snapped open. He was still lying on Draco's chest and Draco was still carding his fingers through his hair, when Jacob jumped up for the bed grabbing his discarded sleep pants. "Draco get dressed…NOW!" Jacob order in panic.

Shocked at the panic in his voice Draco jumped up and pulled on his pants.

Jacob's panic was evident when he ripped the bedroom door of its hinges before yelling, "CARLISLE…Carlisle come quick!"

Draco was getting very concerned, this was not like Jacob. Within seconds Carlisle was in the room followed quickly by the rest of the family. Including Harry and Oliver who were trying to see what was going on while quieting babies that had been startled awake at the yell.

Carlisle looking around for anything wrong asked, "What is it…what's going on?"

Trying to calm himself down Jacob replied, "Something's wrong with Draco. Carlisle you have to do something."

Clearly not understanding Carlisle pointed at Draco as he said, "Jacob he is right here he's fine."

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts Jacob tried to explain, "No…his…his heart beat."

"What?" Carlisle questioned.

Nodding his head Jacob answered, "I heard his heart beat."

Listening close Carlisle said, "I don't hear anything?"

"I heard it please Carlisle check…is he alright?" Jacob pleaded.

Carlisle walked forward and bent down putting his ear to Draco's chest as he motioned for the others to be quiet. Then he heard it and his eyes got huge and his mouth was hanging open. Then he jumped into doctor mode, moving Draco over to lay on the bed as he barked out orders, "Jasper get my bag. Draco I want you to lay back."

They all stared as Carlisle got out is stethoscope and listened. Then felt Draco's neck, but they got the most concerned when he put a blood pressure cup on his arm. When Carlisle stood back up Esme stepped forward, there was clear panic in her voice for one of her children when she spoke. "Carlisle what's wrong? Is he alright?"

Lost as to what to do Carlisle replied "I don't know. It is very weak and far apart but his heart is beating."

Back in panic mode Jacob shouted, "You have to do something!"

Turning to his panicked son-in-law Carlisle said, "I don't know what to do. A vampire's heart has never beaten before."

"Dobby!" Harry shouted.

Dobby appeared as usual and looked around the room before looking at Harry.

Before Dobby could say a word Harry ordered, "Dobby, I need to you bring Madam Pomfrey right away tell her it is an emergency."

With a nod and a snap of his fingers he was gone.

Not liking that something was not right with one of her children Esme asked, "Who is Madam Pomfrey and how can she help?"

Cedric answered from his place next to Ron, "She is the school Medi-Witch at Hogwarts."

Nodding Ron interjected, "And more brilliant that any healer."

"She would be the wizard equivalent of a nurse." Cedric said trying to explain to his concerned mother.

Trying to set everyone at easy Neville added, "But he has treated all of us since we were eleven."

Nodding Draco said, "Even patched us up during the war."

Finally having calmed Teddy down Harry said, "And she delivered Teddy."

Oliver who had also calmed down Freddie interjected, "Freddie too."

Nodding from his plaice next to Oliver Marcus said, "She'll be able to help, she is the best."

As the family waited Jacob carried Draco down the family room and laid him on the couch. Esme got a blanket for him and hovered like the mother she was to them all. Jacob however was not being moved from his mate's side.

Draco reached up and ran his hand over the side of Jacob face saying, "It's alright Jacob Poppy with fix everything she always does."

Rosalie was at the door before the knock was finished opening it to see a middle aged woman carrying a medical bag. Dobby walked in as soon as the door was opened and went to Winky who started filling him in on what happened.

The middle aged woman looked Rosalie up and down before she spoke, "My name is Poppy Pomfrey and I was sent for."

Stepping aside Rosalie said, "Come in", and then she led Madam Pomfrey to the family room.

When she had entered the room Poppy asked in her no nonsense tone, "Who are all of you and who is my patient?"

Harry made the introduction and then told her that Draco was the patient.

Turning to Carlisle Poppy questioned, "Minerva tells me you are a doctor Mr. Cullen. Have you examined the boy?"

Carlisle answered, "Please call me Carlisle and yes I have. It seems his heart is beating very slow and very shallow but beating."

Madam Pompfrey nodded and moved forward drawing her wand. When she got close to Draco Jacob growled. Poppy raised an eyebrow and asked, "You are his mate?"

Looking down, embarrassed as his reaction Jacob answered, "Yes."

Then with a kind smile that did not mask the danger in her voice Poppy said, "Then for Draco's sake I will tell you. Move before I move you. And do not interfere with me and my patient!"

Draco nodded that it was alright and Emmett and Ron helped Jacob move back. He then looked at Poppy and said, "You do realize his is a Werewolf?"

Poppy set to work with her wand, making intricate movements causing colors and patterns and to appear over Draco as she spoke. "Is that meant to intimidate me? I have healed Werewolves, vampires, giants, elves, centaurs you name it. Besides I have treated you since that Hippogriff incident in your third year."

When she finished she stood up and put her wand away and asked. "I assume you have been sexually active."

"POPPY!" Draco shouted mortified at the question.

With a reproachful look Poppy scolded him, "Really Draco you are a grown adult with a mate and have obviously been sexually active."

Across the room Jacob collapsed in on himself sure that he had hurt his mate. "Oh God…did I hurt him… what did I do?"

Turning to the distraught Werewolf Poppy said, "You young man, have done what no one thought could be done. You have woken the Veela. He is perfectly fine."

Confused Carlisle asked, "How can he be fine? His heart beats that is not normal for a vampire."

Turning to look at Carlisle Poppy informed him, "Well Draco is not a normal vampire. He was a wizard first, one with Veela blood. Whatever this young man has done the Veela has recognized him as his mate."

"What does that mean?" Esme questioned, still not understanding what was going on.

Turning back to make sure that Draco was comfortable Poppy answered, "It means Draco is pregnant and very recently conceived."

At which point Jacob passed out and Ron and Emmett moved him to the other couch.

Carlisle was in shock as he spoke, "That is not possible. He is a male and well…dead."

Rolling her eyes Poppy said, "Treated a lot of wizard, Veela and vampire highbred have you? The Veela blood has recognized its mate. Male Veela are capable of conceiving and carried a child to term. Draco's magic is responding and making his heart beat and supplying the baby with what it needs. As the baby grows his heartbeat will increase as the baby requires more nutrients."

They were all in shock, even Luna and Alice who had not seen this coming. Esme dropped into a chair saying in total awe. "Another grandchild."

Jacob has woken at that and all the guys were congratulating him and slapping him on the back. The girls were jumping up and down.

"Oh Merlin…their going shopping again," Draco moaned.

Poppy informed him, "I will come once a month and do checkup on you." Then turning to Harry and Oliver she put her hands on her hips and looked sternly at them. "And when was the last time those two saw a Healer or Medi-Witch?

Nervously Harry answered, "Well Carlisle is a doctor."

Nodding Poppy continued. "And an excellent on I am sure but there are certain things that a doctor is not able to check, Medi-wizardry being different for every race. Well as long as I am here I might as well check them both. And they can have their checkups when Draco has his."

Two hours later the little ones had been pronounced healthy. Jacob had been in tears thanking Draco for their child. Poppy had told him that she would be able to tell the gender in three months. Carlisle had been fascinated by the entire process, especially when the parchment appeared that listed everything about the baby's health.

Poppy said that she had talked about it to Minerva and they thought that the Cullens should visit a wand shop. That while Harry and the others could no longer use their wand because of the magic boost. They however believed that the Cullens could now use one because of their Vampire magic. When Carlisle commented that didn't know how to use a wand Poppy just laughed saying. "You have eight of the best and brightest Hogwarts ever saw living with you, I think you will have plenty of help learning. You should look into it."

Poppy left saying that she would owl with when she could come for checkups.

Jacob's chest had puffed up to the point that Draco thought it was going to explode the next day when he told his father that they were going to have a baby. It took a while for Billy to understand, and Jacob to brag that HE had woken the dead Veela blood in his mate.

Rosalie had in the end been the one to come to Draco's rescue as Jacob and Esme were smothering him to death. She shouted at them, "ENOUGH! He is having a baby; he is not dying, he can walk, he can feed himself, dress himself and every other thing that he could do before. Just enjoy the Christmas miracle of a new member joining the family. And stop smothering him!"
