Hey all! Now for the next chapter in my wondrous story that you have all come to know and love. I don't own too much. The plot and some characters…some words perhaps here and there. But u anyway, on with the show!
The Infirmary
"Well miss Granger, seems as though you're about 6 cm dilated. So just sit back and relax for a moment. Give it about another hour." Said Madame Pomfrey.
Hermione was laying down breathing deeply. Draco had gone to inform her friends of what was about to take place. Shortly after they all came rushing in to check on her.
"Oh Hermione! I'm so excited for you. Just imagine, you're going to be a mother in an hour or so." Exclaimed Ginny who came to sit next to her dear friend.
Hermione giggled. If having a baby was this much pain, perhaps she didn't want anymore. Draco came to sit on her other side, taking her hand. He kissed it.
"Yeah 'mione. You're gonna be a mother. A first in Hogwarts history!" Ron said, excited.
Madame Pomfrey came bustling back and told them to all go back to their rooms, they could come back after the twins were delivered.
"Draco what am I to do. I haven't finished setting up their room and I still have 5 months left of school. How am I going to do that AND take care of my babies?" Hermione asked, feeling another contraction coming on.
Draco waited silently until it passed. He checked the clock, 10 min apart.
"You'll get through it Hermione. I'm here, and so are your friends. We'll help you the best way that we can." Draco said, brushing curls off her face.
2 HOURS LATER
After much screaming and name calling Hermione had delivered her first baby. It was Manning. He looked just like his father. Black hair and gray eyes. It was almost too much pain to look at him without feeling anger.
"Ok Hermione love, one more baby to go and you'll be all set for the night." Said Madame Pomfrey, getting herself ready to deliver the girl.
Hermione looked over at Draco with a smile. She was soon going to have her babies.
"Ready Draco?" Hermione asked, panting slightly.
"Ready as I'll ever be." He said, taking her hand and holding it tight.
Draco soon regretted this. Hermione cried out in pain and squeezed his hand tighter causing him to lose circulation in it. Hermione finally let go. Isis had honey brown eyes and blonde hair. Which Hermione was sure would get darker when she was older. Madame Pomfrey gave Draco, Isis and Hermione, Manning.
"Hermione, she's beautiful. Just like her mother." Stated Draco, sitting next to Hermione.
"You really think so? Wait till you have to change diapers with me." Hermione joked, scrunching her nose.
Draco thought about this and smirked.
"Oh really now? Who said I was going to help you change diapers?" Draco inquired, looking at her expression.
Hermione did a huffy breath and stuck her tongue out. Draco bent down and kissed her sweetly. That was enough to shut her up.
"I admit, she is beautiful. My sweet baby girl." Said Hermione
"He's gonna be a quidditch player for sure!" exclaimed Draco, handing Manning to Hermione.
Hermione laughed
"In your dreams Malfoy. No son of mine is going to run around where he can get hurt. Nope, I will not allow it." Said Hermione, looking at her son.
He looked adorable. His face was scrunched in a peaceful sleep and his bottom lip puckered out.
"Oh but Hermione! He has to." Draco whined, making his girlfriend laugh.
Shortly after the whole gang rushed into the room wanting to see the babies. Ginny gushed over Manning while Marissa played with Isis. Hermione looked on and smiled. She was so happy.
The first month after moving into Draco's house
Hermione was sitting in the newly furnished nursery that had a connecting door to her and Draco's room. Even as hard as she tried to demolish it, Draco insisted on making Manning's crib 'quidditch orientated'.
She was feeding Isis who was now 4 months old. Her blonde hair was turning golden and her honey brown eyes remained the same.
"Up-see daisy my dear. Time for your feeding." Said Hermione, fixing her shirt to nurse.
Isis made bubbly noises and opened up her mouth. Draco came home from work, to keep enough money for diapers and food he had to work at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade.
"Hello Hermione. You look ravishing as always." Said Draco, coming to sit near his beloved.
Hermione let out a weird noise. She was a mess. Baby food was splattered on her shirt, there was dirt on her jeans and her hair was a frazzled mess.
"Come off it Draco. I know I look horrid. I mean look at me. Ow!" exclaimed Hermione.
Isis had bit on her mothers nipple and thought it funny, she made more bubbly noises and sucked again. Draco picked her up and got Manning. He looked more and more like his father each day. Hermione only hoped that his attitude would be different.
"How was work today my dear?" asked Hermione, feeding her son.
"Same as always. I had a lot of tables to do and I spilled wine all over a group of first years." Said Draco, he looked solemn.
Hermione put Manning into his crib and sat on her boyfriends lap facing him.
"Don't worry Draco honey. You'll get the hang of it. If I didn't have to be stuck at home I'd be there with you but well, the babies need me." Hermione said, her hands on his face.
"Hermione, please. Don't bring the babies into this. You make it seem like it's my fault that you're stuck at home taking care of them." Said Draco standing up quickly.
Hermione hit the floor with a thud. He had never gotten mad at her before. Hermione stood her ground and balled up her fists.
"I never said that it was your fault Draco. Never would I blame you for me having them. And never would I use my children as an object of guilt. I love them with all my heart and I cherish the time that I have with them. If I could thank Nick for one good thing he ever did for me, it would be my babies." Hermione said coolly.
Draco looked at her. Maybe he made a mistake bringing the twins into this. Snapped out of his thoughts by a high pitch cry, Draco looked around and didn't see Hermione in front of him.
Hermione was in the kitchen with a tea pot filling up a cup with hot water. This was probably going to be her only break for a while. Dinner was in the oven, roast beef and potatoes.
"Hermione, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset. I know how much you love them." Draco said, he truly looked sorry.
Hermione looked at him and cupped his chin. She got down next to him and took his face in her warm hands.
"I know Draco. I'm just really tired and anything that's not in order will set me off. Ginny , Ron, Harry, Jason , and Marissa are coming over for dinner tonight. I have to go take a shower. Watch the babies for me please." Hermione said, her voice low and melancholy.
Draco cleaned the little bit of dishes and went to dress the babies for their dinner guests. Isis had on an adorable pink jump suit and little white socks with lace. Manning had on a small blue overalls set and socks. They looked smashing. He listened; Hermione hadn't gotten into the shower yet. Draco walked down the hall to the bathroom and knocked on the door.
Hermione answered with a towel wrapped around her, the shower running. Draco liked this sight and stepped in. He embraced Hermione and kissed her neck.
"Draco, what are you doing. We're going to have guest in a moment. And I still have to get ready." Hermione said, walking towards the shower.
Draco smirked and began taking off his clothes. Hermione looked shocked, this is how the rape started off. Draco seeing the worry in her face came up and took her hand.
"I just want to take a shower too. Don't worry, id never harm you." Said Draco, stepping into the shower.
Hermione smiled and giggled at his deviousness. He was worse than a child. She stepped in and tried very hard not to look down, after all they weren't married. They showered (innocently!) and got ready for their guests. They all gushed over the babies.
"Hermione, she's just so adorable! Some girls just have all the luck." Said Marissa, holding Isis who was looking around the room.
Hermione smiled and watched Draco handle Manning.
"Thank you. If you stayed up all night going back and forth between kids feeding and changing, you'd think differently about their looks. Devils I tell you." Hermione giggled.
Isis started to get fussy so Marissa handed her off to Draco. Draco had become quite a good parent. He treated them as though they were his. And loved them just as much. After dinner, Hermione took the baby monitor out side and sat down on a bench in the front yard.
The air was warm and there was a soft breeze. The air smelled nice because of the flowers all around her that Draco had planted to make her happy. Draco had finished the dishes and decided to come sit next to his loved Hermione.
"I've been so happy living here with you Draco." Hermione said, resting her head on his shoulder.
"I've been happy having you here with me. It was lonely without you. (he smirked) and the twins." Said Draco, taking her hand and holding it up.
Hermione still had the ring that he had given her. It was still shiny as ever. Hermione never took it off. She looked up at Draco with loving eyes and kissed him. He turned to hold her better. Suddenly the bliss was shocked with a baby cry. It was Manning. He hated his mother giving her attention to someone else.
NURSERY
"My dear baby. What seems to be the problem?" asked Hermione, checking his diaper.
It was wet.
"Here you go mummy." Draco said with a smile, handing Hermione a fresh diaper.
Hermione quickly changed her son and sat down in the rocking chair to make him fall back to sleep. Draco checked Isis who was still dry, for the moment. Manning made some gurgling noises and opened his mouth. He was hungry.
"Here you go. Open up." Said Hermione soothingly, putting her already sore nipple into Manning's mouth.
Draco sat there, transfixed. Manning was happy and continued to make gurgling noises, his hand reaching up and resting on his mothers breast. Hermione rubbed his back soothingly.
"Should I change Isis now, love?" asked Draco, snapping out of his trance.
"Oh no, I'll do it. You didn't have much luck with her last time. Here, burp Manning." Said Hermione with a smile. Remembering Draco's first changing.
Draco took the small form and rested Manning on his shoulder, walking around trying to get him to burp. Manning wiggled and then let out a faint, milk smelling, burp. Draco pulled back the covers and laid him down.
"I hope they sleep longer than they did last night." Said Hermione.
She had woken up 6 times each. And two of the times in the total 12 were just to be held. Her babies were trouble, trouble , trouble with a capital T. but she loved them all the same.
"Lumos Orbiculous." Said Hermione.
This spell produced a witches light that was in the shape of a ball and rested above the twins' head while they slept. it also acted as a monitor for Hermione.
"Sleep tight my precious'. I'll see you in the morning." Hermione stated, kissing their warm cheeks and slipping out of the room.
They walked out of the nursery next door to their room. It was nice and warm. The window was open to let in the fresh breeze. The beach was just a mile away and Hermione loved listening to the ocean as she slept.
"Finally we can relax. The babies are sleep, the dishes are done, the house is clean and I have my Hermione sleeping next to me." Draco said happily, embracing Hermione.
"Yep. Everything is perfect. I think I might switch them to bottles. This breast feeding is killing me!" Hermione said seriously.
Draco laughed and got a hit on the arm.
"I'm sorry love. I never thought it would be that bad. Manning seems to enjoy your time." Said Draco, undressing for bed.
"He gets so jealous whenever I spend more time with Isis. It's so funny. He'll start gurgling to get my attention. It's true, he is Nick's child." Hermione said with a smile.
They kissed goodnight and slept the whole night through. When Hermione went into the nursery, the raising sun extinguished the witches light. Draco followed suit without a shirt. He picked up Manning and got him ready for his first bath. Today was to be a day of 'firsts'.
"Ok Manning Kalin, you are not going to splash mummy right?" asked Hermione, knowing there were no promises.
"And you miss Isis Christine Granger are not going to splash me right?" Draco asked as well.
The twins looked at each other and then at the adults. Manning started making spit bubbles and kicked up his legs. Seeing her brother, Isis did the same thing.
"I have monsters for children, Draco! Monsters!" exclaimed Hermione with a smile. Pouring warm water over her sons head.
Draco laughed and did the same to Isis. The bath went well after that. Next they were going to attempt to feed them food.
"Ok honey. Try this for me please. Just a little bite." Urged Draco.
He was trying to get Manning to take his first bite of smashed squash. It was orange in color and slightly warmed. Manning looked at his sister who seemed to be enjoying it. He looked back at Draco. Manning stuck his hand into the container and smashed it around Draco's face. Hermione went into a fit of giggles.
"Aw my poor baby." Said Hermione, getting a cloth to clean off his face.
"You think that's funny do you?" asked Draco, getting some squash on his hand as well.
Hermione, noticing this got out her wand. Draco Threw the squash ball at her.
"Arresto momento!" Hermione said, the ball froze in mid air.
She sent the ball flying right back at Draco and hit him in the face. Draco then got out his wand as well. The twins were watching in amazement, their eyes wide mouths open.
"If that's the way you want it my dear. Then let the games begin!" Draco said with a smile.
he came at Hermione arms raised. He started tickling her. Hermione let out shrieks of laughter and her face turned pink with smiles. The twins began to jump around in their seats after throwing more food at their mother.
"Draco…Draco…quit it! I cant…. Breathe!" exclaimed Hermione, laughing still.
"Is that suppose to make me stop?" said Draco, smirking above her small form.
Hermione grabbed his wrists and smiled up at him. He leaned down and kissed her passionately. They looked at each other and he went down for seconds.
"I love you Hermione."
"I know."
