A/N: Last chapter. Short one too. This has been a fun one to write. I hope you enjoyed my lunacy. Until next time, my friends.

Chapter Forty-Three:

March 29th:

Harry wakes to his wife whimpering in her sleep. He leans up and watches for her having a Charley horse again or some of those fake contractions. No, she wasn't. Harry runs his hand over Hermione's bump. He could almost feel the movement of her womb. That's why she was in pain, she had started labor.

"Ahhhhh!" Hermione wakes on a scream. Harry sits up and helps her do the same. "Ah honey, I think we are about to be parents." Harry says, knowing she is in a lot of pain.

"You think? How are we going?" She asks after the pain ebbs. He can understand why she was being "grumpy". "This way." Harry floos his father in law/ brother.

Remus yawns and looks into the fire. "Yes, Harry?" He asks half asleep. It takes a moment until he realizes why Harry is waking him up at two in the morning. "I'll be right there." Harry ends the connection as Remus had ran out of the room. "I'd say your dad will be here momentarily." He tells Hermione and rushes to support her through another contraction.

Remus on the outside, runs up to the portrait. "Logan." He breathes for a moment while the painting opens. "I am too old to run that much without transforming." He walks into the bedroom and up to his daughter, swooping her up into his arms. "This is one of the times that I am glad that you are a werewolf." Hermione says as she yawns.

"Shush. It is nothing that I wish on anyone, but in this instance, it's handy. You are still light as ever dear, but awkward. Let's get you to the Hospital Wing." He calmly tells her as he carries her, Harry follows close behind, worried over her pain.

Remus looks at his brother. "It'll be alright, Harry. She is healthy, fit and well looked after. Calm down before it works her up. If she gets upset trying to calm you, it could stress the babies. I am going to drop her off with you and Pomphrey and go wake Mum and Dad and James and Lily, then I am calling Dan and Emma." He assures the kids. He sets his daughter down, kisses her head and promises to come back soon.

"I can't wait to meet my grandchildren."

Hermione lays back on the bed and takes a breath. She is in a lull between the excruciating contractions. Madam Pomphrey comes out of her room and starts fussing over Hermione and Harry. She checks Hermione. "Well dear, I'd say we are going to be meeting the newest members of the Gryffindor family."

Harry walks up to his wife's side and kisses her face. "You are doing so well, baby." He whispers as her face contorts. Harry gives her a few ice chips, without her asking for them.

"Mrs. Potter, you are eight centimeters dilated and completely effaced. The same happened with the Black baby. We are going to have to do this without meds, but if we can get a note to Mr. Whitlock, it will help." She looks to Harry, who sends his patronus to his uncle Jasper. The blonde man and his pixie of a wife walk in and he removes Hermione's pain to the point that she only feels pressure enough to know what's happening.

The parents all congregate outside the ward and wait for any word about the babies. Remus rushes back with the Grangers and sits next to James. The four grandfathers cringe as they hear Harry's coaching after a rather frustrated groan from Hermione.

A few hours later, Harry comes out and motions the family in. He is beat and sweating. It had been a long session all together with both births. He is still slightly in awe of his mate and dazed by the beauty of their children. Both have Hermione's golden brown eyes with green specks. Lilyrose has inky black curly hair. Remmett's is a messy sandy brown. He is solidly built like how Harry's parents said he was. Lilyrose weighs four and a half pounds to her brother's six. Both are seventeen inches in length.

James and Lily burst into tears as they never thought they would see this day, to be able to hold their grandchildren. Remus and Emmett are not far behind them. Rose and Lily look their namesake over and share a smile with Emma.

"Welcome to the world little ones. Your family is large but we love you." Rose whispers to the babies as they are laid in their bassinet.
