Chapter 6 Alice and Francis Longbottom

Neville and George walked down the hall to go see Alice and Francis. "So mate, did they turn out identical?" George asked.

"No, Alice looks like me and Francis looks like Luna."

"Well at least they won't be able to switch on you like Fred and I use to do to mum." George chuckled trying to lighten the mood. Neville crack half a smile. They got to the infant wing and saw both the girls' right up front. Alice was a little smaller than Francis. They were both asleep.

"They are beautiful Neville. You'll have to beat the chaps of with a stick." George said with the biggest grin on his face. Neville was never as proud of anything he had done up until this moment. He looked down at his daughters and thought about how their lives would turn out if Luna didn't pull through. After standing there for a few minutes a nurse saw Neville and came out of the nursery.

"Mr. Longbottom is it?" she asked. Neville nodded. "Well then, would you like to hold your children?"

Neville looked up at George with tears welling up in his eyes. "Go on Nev, I'll go sit with Harry and Ron. One of us will come get you if Luna wakes up. Spend some time with them." George said and with that he turned and walked back down the hall.

"Yes that would be great." Neville said to the nurse.

"You may sit in here with them and if you need anything I will be right here." she patted his hand and led him to a rocking chair. She first brought him Francis and placed her in Neville's left arm and then brought Alice and placed her in his right. "They are very beautiful Mr. Longbottom." she said to him. Then she walked away to tend to the other children in the nursery.

Alice had Neville's coloring and his dark hair. Her hair was very curly. Francis skin was white as snow. Her hair was even lighter than Luna's and straight as a board. The only way anyone would be able to tell they were twins was by their eyes. They had Luna's bright blue eyes. They were so crystal clear. "Now my beautiful little angels don't worry about mommy she will be just fine," Neville wasn't sure if he was reassuring himself more than the girls. They couldn't understand what he was saying but as he talked Francis snuggled closer to her father as if she knew. Alice looked up at Neville and smiled just a little and he kissed her forehead. He sat there with both of them and fell asleep.

"Neville?"

"What…what…Luna?"

"Yes my darling. Aren't they just precious?"

"Well they are your children dear."

"Neville, I am here to let you know everything will be fine."

"Am I dreaming?"

"Well sort of it is the girls."

"What? How?"

"I am not quite sure all I know is that I could see myself lying in the bed and then the next thing I knew I saw you holding them in the nursery. They both looked at me and then you fell asleep and here we are."

"Oh I can see now that we are going to have trouble on our hands with underage magic."

"He, he. Yes darling I do believe you are right."

At that moment Neville woke up and looked down at his children and noticed they were holding hands somehow. "Thank you my sweethearts." He bent down and kissed both of them pulled them in tighter and went back to sleep.

3 hours later

"Mr. Longbottom?" the nurse said trying to wake Neville. He blinked his eyes a few times then realized where he was. Alice and Francis were still asleep in his arms. They looked just like little dolls. "Um, yes." he replied.

"Mr. Longbottom, your wife has woken up." Neville started beaming. He kissed the girls and said "Mommy is awake, I will be back soon." He handed them to the nurse and ran down the hall to Luna's room. No one was in the hall so he figured they were outside or getting a bite to eat. He felt relieved that he would have some time with Luna alone. Not that he wasn't grateful that his friends were there to support him he just wanted some privacy with her.

He walked into the room and Luna was sitting up in the bed with that lazy little smile he was so in awe of on her face. 'She is stunning even for a woman who just gave birth' he thought. He ran to the side of her bed. She had her arms out for him. He embraced her with every ounce of relief and happiness he had in him. Then their eyes met and Neville kissed his wife with more passion than he had ever kissed her before. "What was that for?" she asked coyly. "That is for making me the happiest man in England, for giving me two beautiful daughters, for everything Luna. I want you to know how much I love you." Neville and Luna were both crying at this point. "I thought I had lost you forever. I don't know what I would do without you."

Luna was looking at Neville and she had never seen this side of him before. "Neville, I love you so much. As I was lying here I kept thinking if anything happened to me I would be able to rest knowing that you would be there for our daughters."

"Oh Luna don't say things like that." Neville said.

"Let me finish, as I was saying, I knew you would be an excellent father and was thankful that they would have you. Then you fell asleep and the girls drew me to the three of you and I knew everything would be alright. Can I see them yet?" Luna was adjusting her position in the bed.

"I am not sure you did just wake up. I will go find out from the doctor. While I am gone I will let everyone know you are awake."

"Who is still here? I was for sure everyone would have gone home." Luna said. Neville then explained to her how George showed up and took the lead. That Harry, Ron and George would be leaving soon and Dean and Seamus would be arriving. "Ok well I don't want any visitors unless Ginny comes back." Luna replied. "I mean I love everyone for being by your side through this but I just want to be around you and the girls mainly."

"Yes dear I will make sure that it is just us." He kissed her again and went out the door. He found the doctor and got permission for Luna to see Alice and Francis then he went outside. As he was approaching the doors he could see Ginny standing there with her arms crossed talking to Harry. He must have told her to do something Neville guessed. Ginny didn't like to be told what to do.

"But you need to get some sleep." Ginny said

"Did you sleep when you were at home?" Harry replied

Neville cut in "She's awake!" Then he turned to go inside. Ginny was right behind him. "Can I see her Neville?" she asked. "Yes just give me one second," he whispered back to her "ok fellas Luna doesn't want any visitors with the exception of Ginny tonight. So if you want to go back to the manor that is fine with me. Thank you for being here you have no idea how much it means to both of us. Go get some sleep."

Ron was the first to say something. "Well alright then," he yawned "I am headed back. I am glad everything is ok mate." Ron hugged Neville which was something he did not do often. Seamus and Dean did the same and the three of them Disapperated back to the manor. "Well I will stay." said George. "Mum would kill me if I left plus Angelina told me she would be fine with Freddie."

"George I am staying. She wants to see me anyway. Go home and I will fill mum in." Ginny said.

"Yeah mate, go on home," said Harry " I am staying with Gin even if I am out here by myself."

"Neville are you sure you don't want me to stay?" George asked

"Yeah you have done more than enough. Just hold on one second." Neville said. Then he stepped into Luna's room and emerged in a flash. "There is a question I need you and Ginny to answer." He said looking at George. "Luna and I want you two to be Alice and Francis' god parents."

"Yes." said Ginny

"I accept." said George.

"Great." replied Neville.

"Well I guess I will be on my way. I can't wait to tell Angelina the news." George was grinning from ear to ear then he Disapperated.

"Ginny they are about to bring the girls to the room and Luna wants to talk to you alone before they do. I will wait out here with Harry." Neville told her.

"Ok." said Ginny. She looked at Harry and took his hand and smiled. Then she turned and entered Luna's room.

She closed the door and walked to the side of the bed. Both the women were staring into each other's eyes. Both were on the verge of tears. Then Ginny bent down and embraced Luna. "I am so glad you are ok." Ginny told her.

"So am I." Luna replied. "Thank you for being here."

Ginny smiled and gave her friend a hug. "Will you braid my hair Ginny?"

"Of course I will. We will be able to pass some time till I meet my god-daughters."

They both laughed and Ginny carefully braided Luna's hair.

"I don't know what I would do without you." Luna told Ginny.

"My sentiments are the same, love." Ginny smiled and continued to braid Luna's hair as they waited for the arrival of Alice and Francis.

Just then Neville and Harry walked in with both of the girls and gave them to Luna. "Hello my tarts, mommy is so glad to see you." Luna couldn't stop smiling.
