Chapter Eight; Double Trouble
Alright I'm sorry I haven't written for a while but I've been busy. Anyway, sorry about the wait and here is the next chapter!
Over the next few weeks Harry started introducing his sister to all of his friends. One day they had been walking down the street together when they ran into The Dragons. Harry could have sworn that when April's and Rickie's eyes met that he heard a beautiful romantic ballad being played in the distance. For when the two of them saw each other for the first time, it was practically love at first sight.
"Uh Rickie this is my sister April." Harry began not knowing what else to say.
"I didn't know you had a sister." Justin said.
"Believe me, me neither." Harry told him as Rickie picked up April's hand and kissed the back of it.
"Nice to meet you April." He began. "And may I just say what a beautiful young sister you have Harry." He finished.
"Actually I'm ten years older than him." April said.
"And I noticed that you also have blacker hair than him." Justin pointed out.
"That's because we have different fathers." Harry explained. "Her father was Snape."
"You mean the head of Slytherin house?" Justin questioned with disbelief.
"Yeah, but surprisingly enough I was in Gryffindor like my mum." She told him.
"I was in Gryffindor too." Rickie began. "And so were my parents and the rest of my brothers and sisters. Unfortunately though they died. My parents I mean. They went to Heaven years ago." He finished.
"I know, Harry already told me. I'm a Christian too by the way." She said as he simply just grinned at her.
"Well then miss April, it sure looks like we have a lot in common. Let me guess, you were born in April right?" he questioned.
"No, actually I was born in May which is my middle name." she explained.
"You're joking!? What day!?" he cried.
"May first." She answered.
"I was born on the third!" he cried excitedly as they started walking away together.
"No way!" she squealed in response.
"Well it looks like Rickie finally met his match." Aaron began as he grinned at Harry. "So how have you been Harry? How's Ginny?" he asked him.
"Neither of us have been all that good. She's getting terrible cramps and having awful cases of morning sickness. Then I just have to sit there and watch her go through it because there isn't anything I can do about it." He explained.
"Well, have you taken her to the healers?" Aaron asked him.
"Yeah but all they say is it that it's completely a normal sign of pregnancy and there's nothing that we can do. As long as she'll be alright in the end and the baby's healthy then that's all I can ask for." He said.
A Few Months Later,..
Ginny anxiously awaited her sonogram results as she sat upon the examining table. A few moments later a healer walked into the room. "So how is she?" Harry asked her as the healer smiled at him.
"Relax Mr. Potter, your wife is just fine." She responded.
"And the baby?" he questioned.
"They're both just fine as well." She answered with the same warm and loving smile.
"Did you just say both?" Ginny questioned with uncertainty and disbelief as her eyes became widened.
"Both!?" Harry exclaimed with the same shock and disbelief inside his voice.
"That's right," the healer began with a nod. "Congratulations you two you're having twins!" she exclaimed excitedly.
…..
Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked along Godric's Park while they pushed Chase's push cart (Stroller) carefully staying nearby to Sheela while she played on the playground. "Twins?" Ron questioned. "Well gosh, I guess it just runs in the family." He said as Hermione smiled down at their son who was busy sucking on his dummy and slowly falling asleep.
"I think it's a blessing that you're having an extra baby, that means extra love." She whispered softly.
"Yeah but it also means extra diapers, extra feeding, extra diapers, extra crying,.." Ron began. "did I mention extra diapers?" he asked.
"Only once or twice," Harry began. "or a hundred times." He muttered under his breath.
"Besides what happens if they're identical? How are you going to tell who's who? And please don't say that you'll have Mum knit sweaters for them like she did for Fred and George." Ron said.
"Oh c'mon Ron, even identical twins have certain differences about them that their parents can pick up. They don't have the exact DNA." Hermione told him. "And then once they get older they generally have different personalities." She added.
"Oh yeah, sure, like Fred was the mischievous one and George was a complete angel." Ron said sarcastically with a roll of his eyes when suddenly he turned to look over his shoulder and realized that Harry wasn't standing beside him anymore. "Harry?" he questioned.
"Uh oh," Hermione began. "I'm afraid that we might have made him nervous." She told him.
Meanwhile Harry had found the bench where he had first laid his eyes upon his sister and sat down heaving a heavy sigh. First he had lost his parents, then he had found out that he was a very famous wizard, and after that he found out that he was going to be a father and that he was already a brother, and now he recently found out that his wife was going to be the mother of his twin babies. He heaved another heavy sigh wishing that there was something that he would find out that he already knew ahead of time when suddenly he heard a small little voice.
"See! I told you! There he is!" Harry looked down to see the chubby little chipmunk that he had met not too long ago pointing at him and scampering towards him with his two brothers. They leapt up onto the bench and stood beside him.
"Oh my God! I can't believe it! You were actually right Theo!" one of the other chipmunks exclaimed.
"See Alvin? I told you that I met Harry Potter." Theodore told him.
"Well I've got to say that this is an honor meeting you Mr. Potter." The third chipmunk began. "My name's Simon, I'm the smart one." He began. "And you've already met Theodore the adorable one." He continued.
"And I'm Alvin the awesome one!" he cried.
"Listen guys, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I really don't feel like talking or anything. It was nice meeting you though." Harry said as he got up to leave unaware that all three chipmunks chased after him.
