A/N: Been a while since I updated. Here is a bit of an update. Let's check in with everyone, shall we!

Draco & Hermione

18 weeks later, Draco was woken from a deep slumber by a crash. He sat up in bed and noticed his wife was gone, but the bathroom light was on. "Granger? You okay?" He heard a pained groan and fumbled his way out of the bed. "Oof!" He tripped on the tangled blanket, almost falling over. "Babe!" He rushed to Hermione currently on her knees, clutching the side of the tub.

"Draco. I think I am in labour." She said three gritted teeth. "Fuck!" She screamed causing her husband to pick her up. He helped her back to their room and set her down on their bed.

"I'm going to Floo the healer." Draco threw ashes into the fireplace. After talking with the healer, it was decided that they should get to St. Mungo's as soon as possible. Draco next called his mother and Jasper to arrange for them to come stay with Scorpius. Once everything was settled, they finally took her pre-packed hospital bag and rushed through the Floo.

Once settled into their private birthing suite, Draco brought Hermione some ice chips. They talked over names again in between contractions and finally agreed on one. About four hours later, it was time to push. Hermione struggled for a bit but with encouragement from her husband and healer, she was able to pull through.

Then, at exactly 8:07am on February 5th, Archer Jasper Malfoy was brought into the world. Little AJ, as they had nicknamed him, had dark curls upon his head and bright blue eyes. He was just beautiful and healthy and here. Draco kissed their newborn son on his forehead. "You're here. You're actually here." He cradled him in his arms as he walked over to where a very exhausted Granger lay sleeping. The love he felt for the witch couldn't be put into words. Hermione, Scorpius and Archer were his everything.

Theo and Luna

Another great adventure into the wild to find a herd of Graphorns that people in a nearby village had been complaining about. Theo had accidentally caused a stampede which resulted in several uprooted trees in the Tay Forest. It was to be their last adventure for at least a year, for they were about to embark on the greatest adventure of all; parenthood. They had married three weeks ago, but found out three days prior that they were pregnant with twins! They still had not announced it to their family and friends.

"Theo? An Owl just arrived." Luna said in that far away voice that he loved so well. Theo joined her in the bedroom of the cabin they were renting. They were heading home that afternoon. She opened the missive and smiled brightly. "Hermione had the baby! Archer Jasper born at 8:07am yesterday morning! I cannot wait to tell them our news when we return."

Theo bent down and kissed his wife. "Draco is going to lose his mind over it. Blaise too." He smiled and started packing their trunk. "I am just proud of myself for not letting the kneazle out of the bag and telling them already." He turned and saw her staring at nothing in particular, just staring. "Hey," he walked over and sat next to her on the cot, "you okay?" She nodded.

Turning towards him, she smiled. "Just thinking. My dad would have loved them. Our Mums too. Our children will have no grandparents. Just feels wrong." Theo knew they wouldn't have blood related grandparents but there was always Narcissa and he guessed Jasper wouldn't mind having more grandchildren to love.

"I know, angel, but they will have plenty of others to love and care for them." He placed his hand on her slightly swollen belly. "And they'll have us. Two parents that truly love and adore each other." He kissed her gently. Luna smiled broadly and nodded her head.

"I love you, Theodore Nott."

"And I love you, Luna Nott." He kissed her once more, lingering this time. "Let me finish packing. Portkey leaves in an hour."

Blaise and Megan

She watch in awe as her boyfriend helped her mother bake cookies. Megan's father came up behind her. "Finally won her over, huh?" He asked as he listened to his wife giggle at the younger wizard.

Megan truly thought that her father was going to be the hard ass, but talking to Blaise about Quidditch and Muggle Football set him at ease quickly. Her mother, on the other hand, was more reserved with him at first. She bombarded Blaise with questions about his family, his friends, school, the War. Blaise answered all of them with grace.

They decided to make it a weekly occurrence then. The next few weeks, every Saturday, they'd spend a few hours with the Jones family. The only exception being the Saturday that Theo and Luna got married. The wedding was at night, but Blaise was his best man, so he was with Theo most of the day.

"Baking cookies. Who knew?" When Megan had talked with Blaise about things her mom enjoyed, baking was the easiest thing to learn for him; crocheting and making pottery being the other hobbies her mum enjoyed. He could do food. He was already a fantastic cook. Of course, he was a great baker as well.

Blaine looked up and saw them watching. "Megs! Chocolate chip! Your favourite!" She couldn't help but smile at him adoringly. Her dad poked her side.

"He's a keeper, Megs. Now," he whispered conspiratorially, "go sneak us some warm ones." He winked then walked back into the family room with his sister Gwenog.

She didn't need to sneak any because ten minutes later, her mum took out a platter of fresh out of the oven, chocolate chip cookies. Megan wrapped her arms around Blaise and rested her head on his back. "Finally won her over, dad says." She felt him chuckle.

"Looks that way. I asked her if we could wrap some up to bring over to the Nott's tonight. Going to be great to see everyone. I cannot believe our friends have a baby. I mean, yeah, Drake had Scorp but he did it alone for so long. It's going to be a whole new experience to see how Hermione and him parent together from infancy and on. Makes me want one though." He felt her stiffen behind him. Laughing he said, "Babe, calm down. I didn't mean right this second. Once we marry though, I definitely want at least one. Don't you?"

Megan stepped away so that he could turn around and face him. "I know I said one day, but I don't know if I want children just yet. My mom didn't start until she was in her thirties. I've got a lot going on at work and would like to get more time in before needing to take time off to have a kid, you know?" She shrugged and saw the look in her boyfriend's eyes dull. "We can discuss it though. I mean, not right now, but soon." He smiled, but it didn't quite reach his eyes.

"Yeah, um, listen. I'll, uh, pick you up later. I just remembered that I told Theo that I would stop by and help set up." He kissed her cheek and left her standing there.

Placing her palm against her forehead she said to herself, "What was that, Megan?"

Narcissa & Jasper

Picking up the bottle of wine, Jasper turned around to grab his jacket. "Cis! You ready to go? We told Draco that we'd get there early so Hermione could give us the rundown of everything for AJ." They we're going to babysit for the first time since the baby was born a couple weeks ago. Hermione and Draco were going to a dinner party at Theo and Luna's house tonight, so the grandparents were taking care of their grandsons.

"Here I am. Ooh! Good choice! Draco's favorite." Narcissa grabbed her boyfriend's arm and pulled him into a kiss. "Got to get my kisses in before we get there. Scorp suddenly thinks kissing is 'gwoss'." They both laughed before she apparated them to the back garden of Draco and Hermione's new home. They'd bought it a month before Archer was born. It was just outside of London in the country.

"Dad! Narcissa! Come inside quick!" They rushed in and followed the sound of voices. As they entered the sitting room, their hearts melted. Scorpius was holding Archer in the armchair with his elbow propped up by pillows. "He's been asking since we came home from the hospital, but kept getting scared whenever we tried. He just now got Draco to prop up his elbow with pillows and look. Look at our boys."

Draco was busy taking photos and watching his oldest boy in wonder. "Okay, bud. Look at daddy and smile." He said gently. Archer was asleep and looked safe and loved. "Perfect! Good job, bud!" He looked up and saw his mother and Jasper. "Ooh! Mum! Jasper! Stand behind the chair and I will take one more picture before we head out. The couple did as requested.

"Okay daddy. I'm done. AJ getting heavy." Scorpius said as he patiently waited for his baby brother to be picked up by one of his parents.

"I've got him." Jasper said as he eagerly picked up his youngest grandson. Scorpius greeted both grandparents before asking his mum for a snack. Hermione picked him up and placed him in his booster chair at the table.

After handing them the bottle of Merlot-Cab blend and watching Draco's face light up at his favourite wine, they sat down so Hermione could go over her lists. "Okay, so I just fed him about an hour ago. He usually wants to eat again as soon as he opens his eyes. He will do a sort of whimpering whiny grunt before crying. He will probably need a fresh nappy as well. Scorp can show you where the wipes and creams are. He's my little helper. Aren't you, Bug?" Scorpius beamed up at his mum.

"Scorpius gets his bath at 8 o'clock then we usually give him a light snack, no biscuits, but he may have toast and jam if he wants a little something sweet. It's sugar-free blackberry jam that Luna made for him and he absolutely loves. Both boys are usually ready for bed at 9 o'clock. We each read a book to both boys; seems to knock them both out. Once they are asleep, Scorpius is like the dead. Nothing can wake him, but AJ is still not sleeping through the night, but we should be home around midnight which is right around the time he usually wakes up for more of mummy's milk." Draco just watched his wife with a soft smile on his face; his eyes alight with amazement. Hermione turned and saw him watching her and smiled.

"Did I ever tell you how much I love you?" He simply said as he walked over to give his wife a kiss.

"Eww! Gwoss!" Scorpius whined causing Narcissa and Jasper to chuckle.

"Told you." Narcissa whispered in his ear.

They said their goodbyes and watched as the couple took the Floo to the Nott residence. Turning back to Scorpius, Narcissa asked him if he wanted to do anything in particular. "Can I wide my bwoom?" He lit up when they said yes.

Jasper kept cradling a sleeping Archer as he sat in a chair outside to watch Scorpius ride as Narcissa supervised him. He was still amazed after all this time about broom riding. He looked down and was surprised to see a bright eyed Archer looking up at him. "Well hello there my little sweetheart. Does Grandpa have his boy?" He had the most beautiful blue eyes, like his grandmother. Archer yawned and kept staring at his grandfather. "How'd we get so lucky, huh?" The sound of Scorpius and Narcissa giggling had the two week old trying to turn his head toward the sound, so Jasper stood up and walked towards them.

"Look at this, Gwampa! Look!" Scorpius flew a bit higher then flipped over and rode upside down before flipping back upright. The almost four year old smiled proudly.

"That was amazing, Scorp! AJ, look at your big brother." He tilted his arm up so the baby could 'see' his brother and when he did the baby got the biggest toothless smile on his face. "Oh my goodness! He's smiling! Look! Oh you are so dang cute." Narcissa walked closer temporarily taking her focus off of Scorpius. When he noticed, he went higher than he was technically allowed by his parents. Jasper noticed and smirked. "Um, excuse me young man, but I believe that your mum would have a conniption fit if she saw you right now."

Narcissa turned back and saw her grandson just lowering his broom back to a safe height. "Scorpius. You know better than that. Your mum and dad said that when you turn five, you can go that high and not a day sooner. We will let it slip this time but next time, I will have no choice but to take away your flying privileges." Scorpius looked perfectly chastised and decided he was done flying for the day. After apologizing he looked up at Jasper.

"Gwampa?" Jasper hmm'd in acknowledgement. "What's a conniption?"

Susan & Terence

They had just arrived at the Nott home via the Floo. Now that she was getting into the final weeks of her pregnancy, Susan did not feel comfortable with Apparation. "Luna! Theo! Welcome back home. Thank you for inviting us out. It's been weeks since I've seen any of my friends besides Megan, of course. I see her weekly when we go to my checkups at St. Mungo's." Being as Susan was in a high-risk pregnancy, she was at the hospital every week. She was on bed rest the past month and a half, but needed to get out.

"You look wonderful. Baby seems to be healthy and growing well. Here Theo set up a spot for you, so you cannot overdo it." Luna led her to a chaise surrounded by other seating. It had a wedge pillow for propping her up and then one for her feet. She almost wanted to cry.

"Oh, you guys didn't have to go through all this trouble for me." Terence took his wife's hand and helped settle her into her spot. "But thank you. You're both so wonderful for doing that." Susan smiled and felt as if she were surrounded with love and comfort. She sighed as the chaise was extremely comfortable.

"Let me grab you some water, Love." Terence stepped away. Greeting Draco and Hermione, he extended him and Susan's congratulations on the birth of their son.

"How much longer for Susan?" Hermione inquired.

"Oh, um six. Six more weeks. Then our little girl will be here." Terence was still in awe that this was finally happening for them. They had married a few weeks after Draco and Hermione. Susan's father was finally accepting their love and supporting them in the journey of becoming parents. "Amelia Rose." Hermione smiled.

"I've always loved the name Rose." Hermione said before she rushed over to where Susan rested. "Congratulations. Terence says you're having a little girl." Susan grinned and thanked her friend.

"Thank you. About a month and a half to go. I cannot wait. Ter is over the moon." After loving each other since they were 13 and 14 years old respectively, they were ready for this next chapter of their lives together.

About a half hour later, the sound of arguing told them that the newest couple out of the group had arrived.

Harry & Pansy

They had just stopped off at the store by Luna and Theo's to grab a bottle of Ogden's for Theo when it happened. Harry turned the corner and saw Ginny. He stopped suddenly causing Pansy to run into him and drop the whiskey bottle, shattering it.

"Potter! What the hell?" Harry apologized then looked back at his ex-girlfriend before she left his vision looking visibly upset. They had a bad break up. Ginny had asked for the separation. It wasn't his fault he found another witch. "Was that her? Weasley?" Pansy asked softly, knowing he still felt guilty for moving on. She was fine with it. Really. At least that is what she told herself.

"Yeah, um. Excuse me a moment." Harry said as he rushed in the direction of the last place he saw Ginny disappear to. Pansy stood there shocked at first. 'Did he just run after his EX-GIRLFRIEND!?!?' she inwardly screamed. She decided to brush it off and just grab a new bottle of Theo's preferred drink.

After paying, she looked for Harry. 'Must be outside.' She opened the door and saw him hugging the red-haired witch. "Harry?" She asked, the hurt laced in her voice. They turned and saw Pansy looking upset. Ginny gave her a sheepish look before disapparating from the spot.

"Babe! That was nothing. Just a goodbye hug, I swear!" He implored.

"Let's just go." Pansy said before walking into the Leaky Cauldron with Harry following dutifully behind. She didn't even wait for him at the Floo; she just threw the Floo powder in and said clearly, "The Nott Residence!" Before she even cleaned the soot off, Harry was coming through after her.

"Babe, please look at me. It was nothing." He touched her arm to pull her toward him, but she shrugged him off.

"Don't. I just need a moment. Please." She could feel herself slipping out of her self-control and wanted some space to calm down.

"It was a bloody hug! It's not like I was kissing her!" He argued in his defense. Bad move.

"And is that what you truly wanted to do? Kiss her?" Harry said no, but she was already in her own head at that point. "And what would you have done, huh?" He looked at her confused. "If you had come out and saw me hugging Adrian or Greg? What would you have done?" He looked annoyed that she brought up her exes names. "Exactly! And you were IN LOVE with her! What am I supposed to think? I'm the rebound chick! The one your friends only tolerate! Huh!"

"No! I loved her! Past tense damn it! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU! I WANT TO MARRY YOU! I WANT A LIFE AND CHILDREN WITH YOU!" Harry screamed at the top of his lungs. Pansy gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. It was then they noticed everyone has rushed out to the foyer to see what the commotion was about.

"You-you're-you?" She stuttered, speechless for once in her life. Harry walked up to her, pulling her into his arms.

Smiling dumbly at her, he repeated his words. "I am so in love with you, Pansy Cordelia Parkinson." It was then she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss.

"I love you, too. Oh Harry!" Everyone cheered around them and congratulated them on getting their shit together.

It was then Luna announced, "Well, I don't know how we can top that news. Oh yeah," she tugged Theo close and he wrapped his arm around her belly, "we're pregnant with twins!"
