A/N: Enjoy! Make sure you read the A/N at the end!


3 months later….

Minerva sighed in bed. It was long past time for her to be asleep, but her mind was far too busy. She caressed her baby bump and smiled. Things were hectic. They had moved to the house in Scotland passed down from each ruler. It was a beautiful castle, very open with windows and holes in the castle designed to receive all flying visitors. It was definitely handy, Minerva needing to spend her days alternating forms to be certain that the baby would get used to the change as he or she grew. Still stroking the small bump, she sighed again.

"Minerva?"

Minerva closed her eyes at the worried tone in Hermione's voice. She knew she needed to ask, but she was afraid of the answer.

"What's wrong sweetheart?"

Hermione pulled her close and Minerva hid in her neck.

What happened, Hermione? Why were you put up for adoption?

Hermione frowned, "The previous king. I needed to be close to Harry, so I was given to muggles. My parents were killed in the first war."

"Wait." Minerva pulled her face from its place in the crook of Hermione's neck, "The previous king wasn't your father? How…"

Hermione sighed and settled in a more comfortable position before speaking.

"I should've explained earlier. The next king isn't always the child of the previous king. It depends on the child's ability. If our child shows the ability to rule, then he or she will take over upon the time of my death. If another child does, then that child will take over. That is why we attend births. I will know who could be next and I will watch them as they grow. When the time comes, I will crown them."

Minerva relaxed slightly, "So…we don't have to give our child away?"

"Hell no! It is very rare that a child is given away to be raised by muggles. This little one is staying with us." She blinked as it clicked, "Minerva is that why you've been so…You thought we had to give away our child?"

She nodded and Hermione pulled her close, "I'm so sorry. I should've explained it to you. It just slipped my mind. Our child is here to stay."

Minerva chuckled and relaxed.

Goodnight, My king.

Goodnight, My queen and little one.


6 months later….

"You should really sit down."

Hermione ignored her and continued pacing the room, "Ughhhh whose fucking rule was it that I can't be in there?" Down the hall in the bedroom, Minerva was giving birth to her child. The law has always been that the parent of the child is not allowed in with the mother, and right now, Hermione was seriously considering breaking that law.

Bellatrix hid her smirk, "Technically yours, your highness."

Hermione stopped and glared, "Oy. Don't get smart with me!"

Unable to resist Bellatrix raised a brow, "Why? You get confused?"

Hermione rolled her eyes, "Ass." She continued pacing and running her fingers through her hair, stressed.

Bellatrix laughed and stood, "Sit down. It'll be over eventually."

Hermione looked at the door, chewing her lip, and Bellatrix threw her hands up before standing in front of the woman, intent on blocking her view from the door. She soon realized she was a little too short for that plan to work as Hermione raised her chin slightly, looking over her head.

"Why is it quiet in there?!"

Bellatrix pinched her nose, "Same reason as two minutes ago, your majesty. You don't want to hear her renounce sex with you or the lovely insults that we usually toss about mid birth. We tend to be a bit more…hurtful than normal. You know this."

Hermione waved her off, knowing she was right but loathe to admit it. Bellatrix sighed and sat down, watching Hermione pace.

Minerva screamed as another contraction pulsed through her body.

"Ooh that was a big one!" Aurora said as she dried the sweat off of Minerva's forehead.

Minerva growled and mimicked her, "'Ooh that was a big one.' Shut the bloody hell up! Or else I'm going to kill you AND your precious bloody king! AFTER I castrate her! Just to make sure if she comes back from the dead, IT DOESN'T."

Aurora chuckled, "She's your king too, Minerva."

Minerva gripped Aurora's shirt and pulled the dark skinned woman closer, growling "She's no king of MINE- AH!"

Aurora free'd herself from Minerva's death grip as the woman screamed through another contraction.

Narcissa laughed from her place between Minerva's legs, "Would you like a break? We've got time."

Aurora nodded and fixed her shirt, "Yeah. I'll go speak with the king. Hopefully, she'll be more calm than her wife."

Hermione looked up as Aurora walked in and practically tackled the woman. Gripping her arms, she asked,

"How is she?!"

Aurora chuckled, Hermione's grip was just as strong as Minerva's, "She's fine. She's almost ready to start pushing."

Hermione released her and fell back in the chair, "I can't take this."

At that, Aurora burst out laughing and it was the most beautiful sound Bellatrix had ever heard. Almost in a trance, she walked up to the woman and offered her hand, "Hello, Professor Sinistra."

Aurora smiled in return and locked eyes with the dark haired woman, "Mrs. LeStrange." She placed her hand in Bellatrix's and they both startled at the spark that traveled through their bodies.

Bellatrix stuttered slightly, "Ah it's B-black now. But please…call me Bellatrix." Hermione's brow raised. She had been wondering when Bellatrix would settle down. The woman was entirely too devoted. She needed to get laid in Hermione's humble opinion.

"Then you must call me Aurora."

Bellatrix stared at the woman a little longer than customary, unaware she was still holding on to her hand. "Aurora…" she whispered, savoring the name like it were the sweetest thing she had ever tasted.

Aurora chuckled and pulled her hand from Bellatrix's, "I should get back."

Bellatrix shook her head, "O-Of course, sorry. Ah, good luck."

Aurora chuckled. She would need it. The queen was more violent than most women she had birthed. Slowly taking a few steps back, she spoke. "Thank you Bellatrix. Will I see you around?"

Bella blushed and Hermione had to refrain from laughing, at this rate, her child would be grown before the two of them managed to finish a conversation. "If you would like to, certainly."

Aurora nodded, "I'd love to." She said with a smile and walked back towards the queen's chambers.

Hermione watched with a smirk as a dazed Bellatrix stood there, watching her, before slowly walking back to the chair beside Hermione and falling into it.

"What just happened?"

Hermione barked out a laugh, "What? You, the woman I owe my entire relationship to, have no clue whatsoever as to what just happened?"

Bellatrix shook her head, still dazed. Hermione laughed, glad for the distraction and Bellatrix grumbled. Hermione bit her lip and began bouncing her leg as her mind turned to her wife and child.


Aurora returned with a smile,

"Your highness. Your sons are calling for you."

Hermione gasped, "It's a boy?!" she blinked, "Son...ssss? Holy shit…twins?"

Aurora nodded, her eyes twinkling, "Twins."

Hermione whooped and raced down the hall to see her wife, leaving Bellatrix and Aurora alone. Skidding to a halt in the door way, she smiled at the sight of Minerva exhausted with two bundles in her arms. Minerva looked up and smiled at Hermione before looking back down at her boys, "Twins…" she said happily. "I think I forgot to mention they run in the family."

Hermione laughed disbelievingly, "I'll say! Merlin…What are we going to name them?" She asked as she lifted one of the boys up and cradled him closely. He held tightly to her finger and Hermione felt her heart swell. "I love you, darling boy."

Hermione looked up at her wife, "How about – "

Minerva narrowed her eyes, "If you dare say Fred and George I will poke several holes in your wings and push you off the top of this castle."

Hermione's eyes widened and she quickly closed her mouth.


Meanwhile….

Bellatrix walked up to Aurora nervous for the first time in her life when it came to talking to a woman. Taking a deep breath, she smiled, "It's later."

Fuck…that was stupid.

Aurora raised a brow, "That it is and I am exhausted. The queen is one of the more…agitated ones I've ever had."

Bellatrix laughed, "Yeah. I think the king is in for an interesting bond."

Aurora smiled, "That she is."

Bellatrix cleared her throat, "Are you uh…b-bound to anyone?"

Aurora chuckled, "No I am not. Are you?"

Bellatrix shook her head, "No. I was busy enjoying my freedom from my husband."

Aurora raised a brow and Bellatrix's eyes widened at how that sounded, "Not that I slept around a lot or anything! I just…ah….So twins?"

Aurora laughed, a hand over her mouth and Bellatrix smiled, "You have a beautiful laugh." Her eyes widened as she realized she said the words out loud.

Aurora smiled at the obviously embarrassed woman and laid a hand on her shoulder, "Thank you."

Bellatrix blushed and tried to change the subject again, "Do you...do you want to walk around or something?"

Aurora nodded, "I haven't spent much time in the castle. It's lovely here."

Bellatrix led them down the halls, "It truly is. I was here while the king ran out for the queen's nightly cravings."

Aurora raised a brow, "Oh my. After dealing with her for a few hours just now, I can't imagine that being the most pleasant experience."

They stopped in front of a window and Bellatrix leaned against the cracked sill. Her eyes on Aurora, she never noticed the bricks giving way. "Oh it wasn't she could get a little…cranky." She shrugged, "but it was no big – Whoa!" she yelled as she fell over the edge.

Aurora gasped and watch Bellatrix change and spread her wings, halting her fall. With a raised brow, she watched the woman swoop down to grab something before flying back to the window. Laughing, Aurora asked, "Are you alright?"

Bellatrix changed back, her face red, "Yeah! I'm fine." She muttered, "Not my smoothest moment…" Aurora smiled, "The way you changed was pretty smooth. I think I would've forgotten I could fly."

Bellatrix blushed even harder, "I've actually fallen like that before…a lot."

Aurora's lips twitched as she held back her laugh. Clearing her throat, she shook her head, "What did you grab?"

Bellatrix looked up, "Hm?"

"When you changed, it looked like you grabbed something."

Bellatrix blinked, "Oh! Right! I uh…" she pulled a stunning blue rose from behind her back, "It was pretty and y-you're pretty – well not pretty – I mean you're more than pretty, gorgeous actually, um so…here." She groaned internally. What was it about this woman that made her stutter and grunt sentences like a feral child?

Aurora gasped and took the flower, "Bellatrix…it's amazing, thank you."

"Please, just Bella."

Aurora smiled, "Bella…"

Bellatrix grinned, happy to have done something correctly. They continued walking down the halls and Bellatrix did her best not to make a fool of herself. However, she often tripped when the woman smiled at her, or stuttered when their eyes met. And merlin, when the woman said her name it left her ears ringing and her stomach doing flips.

After nearly two hours of this, she stopped and huffed. Aurora frowned, "Bella?"

Bellatrix shook her head, "I...Can I be frank, Aurora?"

At the woman's nod, Bellatrix began pacing in front of her,

"I know we've only known each other for a few hours, but Merlin's beard you are driving me insane. I can barely walk or talk or breathe or fucking think around you. And honestly," She locked eyes with the confused woman, "I'd really, really like to go out on a date with you."

Aurora's brow rose and she smiled at her before giggling. Bellatrix huffed. Apparently the woman didn't quite understand her struggle.

"Okay."

Wait...what?

"What?"

Aurora smiled, "I'd love to go out on a date with you." She kissed Bellatrix's cheek and flew out the window.

Wait…what?!

Bellatrix stood, shocked, replaying the experience over and over again until it finally clicked.

"She said yes!" Grinning, Bella walked back down the halls of the castle whistling.
