Harrys POV

Cassie had been in a lot of pain this morning when I left for school and I felt bad because when Ginny was in labour she had her mother to look after her when he was elsewhere or indisposed but seeing just how much pain Cassie was going through he wished he could have been sober enough to be there for her.

It was home time and instead of Daddy who had been picking him up when Mummy's stomach got too big for her to leave the house which had happened three weeks ago Granny was here. Granny came up to talk to his teacher as she had been instructed to do and informed her that Mummy was in labour and so she was here to collect him and look after him for a few days and was there anything that she should know about the day. After a glowing report from his teachers Harry and his Granny went to stand in the playground and wait for Charlie to come out of school.

"Granny how long is Mummy going to be in labour for is it quick with twins or slow?" Harry asked holding on to Granny's hand as Charlie walked alongside them kicking stones on their walk home.

"I don't know Harry I suppose no longer or shorter than usual, every child is different, some labours are slow some are quick. Daddy's going to ring us when the babies arrive and we can go visit them once they're here" Minerva told him hoping it would be a short labour so the children could have their parents hope soon. She loved her grandkids but she wasn't what they needed, they needed their parents.

Snack time and homework time passed with no news and Harry's bedtime was approaching when the phone rang. Lily sprinted for it and gasped excitedly "Daddy!"

Lily had a small conversation with her father before the phone was passed over to Minerva who was told that both babies were healthy and could she bring the kids in to see them tomorrow at 10am when opening hours started. She agreed and started trying to round Harry up for his bedtime.

It was a trying time getting all four children ready and in the same place at the same time to get them to the hospital but eventually and with her blood pressure heightened considerably Minerva managed it and she took the children to visit their newest siblings. Severus met them outside the front door immediately picking a tired looking Harry up and taking the family to the maternity ward.

In the third private room on the left hand side laid Cassandra Snape looking exhausted but happy. Beside her lay two bundles of blankets one pink and one blue. Harry stared at them from his father's eyes looking unimpressed they were sleeping making tiny sounds and occasionally shifting position. He remembered his children being this small and his mind was filled with flashbacks of holding them for the first time.

"The girl was first out, we've decided to call her Eileen, and the little boy was half an hour later seems he was pretty comfy inside my tummy we decided we would call him Severin . Who wants to hold one?" Cassie asked.

Toby, Lily and Charlie all rushed forward eagerly while Harry continued to look sceptically at the bundles unsure about them and caught up in his own flashbacks of Ginny and his kids. Severus himself was unsure at what the arrival of the twins would bring but tried to sound confident. Do you want to hold one Harry?" Severus asked. Harry looked at his father before shaking his head decisively. Toby why don't you hold Eileen and Lily why don't you hold Severin I want cuddles with Charlie and Harry she said reaching her arms out towards the two youngest. Harry was lowered down from his father's arms onto the soft blue bedding where he scrambled hurriedly into his mother's arms nudging her uncomfortably in the stomach by accident but she was just happy to have the two boys in her arms.

Harry continued to stare at the babies from his position on his mother's lap. Severus was helping his eldest children to hold them comfortably and telling them about how much they weighed and what time they were born, Harry thought about what relation that might have to anything, it was the first thing that he had told everyone when James was born but what did it really mean.

The peace lasted for roughly an hour and a half as the twins slept and were passed from person to person even being held by a very reluctant Harry who only held his baby sister because he was sat on Severus' lap and he was holding her. The peace was shattered by a scream from Eileen followed by a scream by Severin, apparently they were hungry so as Mummy fed them Daddy took them all to the canteen for ice cream and to talk to them about how their days were. Minerva had good reports from Harry's teachers and Charlie had come home covered in good work stickers so there was much praise. Toby and Severus exchanged sarcastic remarks and insults towards his replacement while he was on paternity leave and Minerva scolded the two for being mean to someone who obviously struggled with the subject and Severus' high expectations.

Severus led the family back to the room in time for the midwifes rounds who happily told the family that she was ready to be released that evening, Minerva was to take the older children home and Severus was going to arrange transport for him, his wife and their new twins. The visit lasted two and a half hours in total and Harry was bored of being sat around hospital so was quite glad when his Daddy told him that he could go and he would be home before bedtime to read him a story and tuck him in. Maybe something's would be able to stay the same despite the twins being in the family now.
