Darkness.
Much Darkness.
Calmness.
I hear beeping, and feel cool air.
Voices yelling. "Should we call a healer?!"some of them are a young male and some are female, I recognized Hermione plus a young girl. Then, she speaks again.
"DAAAD!!! She's waking up!!" A girls voice yells, excitedly.
" Who is she?? The girl demanded. Voices mix together.
"WIFE!! Someone else screeched.
What DO you mean she's Dad's wife!!" Then voices mixing together and there was total chaos!
"OK!!!" A voice says,
"STOP ALL THE BLOODY YELLING DAMMIT!!"
I recognized that voice, that is Harry's. I dream of his voice, Then it comes again, "Krissie??"the voice calls out, like a whisper, "Can you hear me love?" It says again. HARRY'S voice! I know that voice! Harry!! I hear fumbling, like he's shuffling papers or something.
I feel him patting me on the leg, then feel him moving around like he's looking for something.
Then, I hear him talking, "Is this Ben? Are you Krissie's son?! Silence, then "Yes, she is ok. There's been an accident. WAIT!!! DON'T HANG UP!! PLEASE!! Is anyone else there? Your brother Danny is there?? Can I talk to Danny? (Danny? I think. How does Harry know to ask for Danny? I wonder. I mean Danny IS more logical out of my boys! But WHAT THE HELL!! Then again, we wound up talking for like five hours- I KNOW we discussed our kids during that time.
I hear more shuffling, and Harry says "OK!! Then put your brother on,...Hello?? Danny? Are you Krissie's youngest son? ...Im sorry, I'm NOT sure what happened with Ben but I am WITH Krissie RIGHT NOW! I am a friend of hers, my names Harry and there been an accident! I need you guys to come to St. Georgie's hospital on 29th Street. Silence. Then. "STOP YELLING please! I am with her at a hospital, NOW LISTEN to me DAMMIT!!! is she allergic to anything? The Doctors need to know.
Oh HELL!! I thought.
"WAIT!!" Harry yells suddenly, "Latex? Ibuprofen? Let me grab a pen! What did you say, Danny? " he asks.
"Ok, great! I got that all written down. is there ANYTHING else!!?" He says.
"You want to come? Ok, I can send my sister to pick you guys up, her names Hermione. Where are you? What's Chipotle? Oh! Food! Oh! Hermione knows, she is on her way! Your with Ben and both have black shirts that say "Warriors Guild Marital Arts", ok, she is on the way to you." Then he got silent and explained to Hermione so she could leave. I feel someone kiss my check and I think "OH! Hermionie is leaving to get my boys! My mind kind of SNAPS INTO gear!!
"WAIT!!" I yell and then I have several green, hazel and brown eyes looking at me. "My sons are like me. They don't know magic!! So please don't scare them Hermione!" I say, my first thought about my sons. Harry is sitting next to me, holding my hand. She nods. "What I MEAN to say Hermione , is you cannot just appear into a Chipotle restaurant and expect to POP my kids out of there!! You need to make SURE everything is safe! And planned!" I say.
"Wait a minute!!" And throw the blankets off my legs, "I will go with you" I announce! I must admit, I am kind of wobbly but I HAVE to get to my boys, they cannot he scared. I am dealing with this overpowering Instinct that is pouring out of my skin to protect my sons, so I'm awake and walking with sweat pouring down my back!
Harry is looking at me like I've grown horns out of the top of my head and I kind of laugh, because of the weird movie I saw someone who looked JUST like him play in- I think it was called "Horns" but I was too scared to watch it. "Harry," I say, "Were you in a movie about a guy who had Horns on his head once?" I said and then I kind of roll my eyes and try to get the fuck out of that old mindset.
"Actually, yes" Harry said, "My stage name is Daniel Radcliffe, after my great-Grandpa Alan Radcliffe and my Great Gramma Danielle Lee Née Radcliffe. In London, my real name is quite common so I used Radcliffe instead and did several movies: Horns, December Boys, David Copperfield and a new one called The Lost City. It's a lot of fun to act.
Holy fucking shit!! My boyfriend is a movie star!! I thought and then smirked inwardly to my childhood bullies! TAKE THAT Miranda and Shawntelle!! Two middle school bitches who made my life hell! They bullied me constantly and called me fat.
I am suddenly aware of HOW strange all this is.
I'm in a hospital bed somewhere and there are like seven people around my bed. Several kids have red hair, a couple have black hair like Harry and one is brown haired, he takes my other hand and smiles warmly at me. He is a cutie-pie! I smiled back and squeeze his hand.
"Hello" he says, "I'm Hugo Granger-Potter, he had dark brown hair and blue eyes but he looks just like a Hermione so I KNOW he's her son, except the blue eyes are someone else- obviously NOT Harry's which makes me relax!
"Hello there Mr. Hugo!" I say, and squeeze his hand, "nice to meet you. I'm Krissie" and I smile warmly.
All of a sudden a CRAAACK is heard!!! I look up and see my sons, Ben & Danny both with their eyes tightly shut and BOTH holding onto Hermione waist tightly! I know they must be scared to death! I take a deep breath and reach out to my sons, "Ben! Danny!" I yell their names, which is probably NOT the best idea, but I am just SO relieved to see them! Eyes open, Dannys light blue (like mine- which are the palest blue) and Bens hazel green with an Intensity I have NEVER seen look over at me with wonder.
Both boys run up to me towards the bed, Danny is the most rational so he stop's while he is looking at all the tubes coming out of me, carefully trying to decipher where he can touch me, while Ben (who is 194 pounds of MARTIAL ARTS MUSCLE- SLAMMS into me on the bed! He has hugged me like this since he was little, without a care in the world and I secretly LOVE it!! I AM their MAMMA and I Cherish this above ALL else!
Danny rolls his eyes when I make the "UUPHH" noise from the intense impact and comes close to me, I detangle myself from Ben and lunge towards Danny. He opens his arms and hugs me fiercely. I groan in happiness! He hugs me and tries to look like the bad ass he is but his eyes are sparkling with unshed tears and he's just waiting to see what's going to happen.
My BOYS are there!! I smile and take a deep breath, smelling the Old Spice body wash Ben used and the Phoenix Axe body spray Danny prefers and for the first time in a few days, I relax.
This is my happy place! And then I evaporates and BOTH of my boys are glaring at me with looks of "What the FUCK is going on!" And glaring at Harry and the kids that are standing behind him, kind of like in a protective stance.
Harry is still holding my hand when refuses to let go. Everyone is kind of eyeing everyone else so a Hermione says, "Rose and Hugo, come with me back to Grimmauld , if you need to send the kids back home in a few hours Harry, please do so- especially if you need to stay with Krissie. Oh yeah! It was nice to meet you Ben and Danny! If you need to come over and wait for your mom- you are always welcome!" She places kisses on my cheeks, Harry's cheeks, Ben and Danny's Cheeks and then grabs her kids hands and she walks them out the rooms, I hear Hugo complaining the entire time that she is dragging them off. Surprisingly I do not hear the young girl talking at all- I glance at her and notice she has her mouth hanging open while she is staring at Ben and then glancing at Danny. Her cheeks turn pink. I must admit! My boys are very handsome!
Oops! My boys!!
"Oh! Boys! This is Harry, and Harry these are my sons Benjamin and Daniel, who go by Ben & Danny, Ben is 18 years old and Danny is 16 years old." I kind of go a little quiet but Harry takes over.
"Hey guys! I'm sorry to call you and scare you like that but I was freaking out because I thought Krissie was allergic to something. THANK you for answering so fast and coming down! These are my kids! James is 15 years old, Albus is 13 and Lilly is 11. The other two that just left where Rose who's also 13 and Hugo, also 11 years old. Hermione was the lady who came and picked you up and she's my sister."
Ben (my oldest) gets up and shakes the other kids hands as he introduces himself, while Danny, who watches closely as his brother moves around the room, follows suit right after. Ben is my sensitive boy- always making sure I'm ok, asking how I'm feeling and just blurting out "I LOVE YOU MOM!" In the middle of his 6th grade class without a care in the world, or without worrying of what someone thinks! He is the 1st person to MAKE sure we all know each others names and that Harry's kids are comfortable.
Danny, on the other hand, is sitting quietly watching things unfold, watching and waiting like he has all the time in the world. His feelings are hard to discern and he's not a patient man when it comes to my safety or health.
I'm assuming Harry's eldest son, James is sitting on the bench with his arms crossed in front of his chest, he has dark black hair like Harry and hazel eyes and he's in pretty good shape. NOT the muscled up shape of Ben or the chiseled shape of Danny but I can tell he does some type of sports. He's scowling at his brother but he's not talking.
Albus is smiling at me softly and sitting next to me on the bed. He has Harry's bright green eyes and same crazy dark black hair, he's thin and kind of gangly like that awkward stage kids go through right before they grow several inches.
Lily is sitting next to Harry and had beautiful, straight red hair and bright green eyes, again like Harry. She is wearing baggy jeans and a grungy sweatshirt with a purple "L" embroidered on the front of it, surrounded by a soft blue material. She is pretty and looks at me and the boys with interest but not like Rose did, there is no blushing or anything coming from her.
"So, MOM- what the FUCK happened today?" Danny blurted out with his normal no-nonsense tone, "Why are you here in the hospital? How did Hermione bring us here without a car? Who are these people? No offense man, but --"
"Danny!" I interrupt, "I'll explain it to you in a few minutes, let's STOP yelling, huh? I look over at Harry and give him a soft smile, and right then I was going to ask Harry what we should do when the door opened up and several Doctors came inside.
"Oh!! Good! You are awake! I'm Healer Sprout and this is my mentor Healer McNair, we have some things to go over with my Krissie. Perhaps without the children present," the young lady says, smiling at everyone within the room.
"FUCK THAT!" Danny says with his arms crossed In front of his chest. "We are NOT going anywhere until we find out what the hell's going on!" Ben is nodding frantically while glaring at the doctors- or healers as they said they were called.
Harry has a small smirk on his face but he nods towards the doctors and says he's not leaving. I look at him and then tilt my head towards his kids, not sure if they are old enough to hear whatever we are being told. He smiles and nods- giving me the go ahead.
Healer Sprout sighs heavily and turns to me, "Mrs. Potter- I understand that your wanting the children to be here but there are things that need to be discussed of a mature nature so I feel it's prudent to have the children wait outside the room. What I CAN say in front of everyone, is that you are going to be released today and should make a full recovery." I can see the tension leaving my sons faces as she says this so I look up at Harry and nod.
"Ok. Ben? Danny? Can you please take James, Lily and Albus to the cafeteria to get something to eat or drink? I have some cash in my purse if someone when hand it over. You can come right back and bring me a Diet Coke & Harry a Coke please." I say gently- mot wanting to upset my kids.
"Sure Mom" says Ben, who smirks when I asked for the Diet Coke since he knows it's my favorite and he also knows I wouldn't ask for it unless I felt better.
Harry reaches out and hands Ben a wad of bills and says to him, "Here Ben. Please use this to pay and get my kids what they need too. Not a lot of auger for them though." All the kids head out towards the hallway.
"Ok. Thanks Harry. Be right back Mom. Love you." Ben says.
"Thanks Dad" Albus & Lily say together.
"Thanks" mumbles James.
Danny is just standing there- unmoving. I look over at him and say "I will explain everything when you get back, don't worry." He nods and walks away.
I turn towards the Doctors or Healers, and say "Well? What was so important?"
Healer Sprout looks at me and smiles gently, she says "Have you ever heard the term MagicMates?" And I nod my head no. I look at Harry and he's nodding "No" as well. "It's the rarest form of Magic I have never seen I've been in the Magical World over 80 years- my mentor is Healer McNair and he's 160 years old, has over 130 years of Healing Training and has met TWO couples that were MagicMates. One was here in England and the other, who's still living, is in Ireland. I would recommend that you allow us to reach out to them so they can explain things to you." At this time, my face is pale and I'm nodding and Harry is just staring at her in shock.
"Wait!" I yell. "Harry, ask Hermione to come back please. If they are going to start explaining things- I want her opinion." Seeing the confused look on the Healers faces, I explained "Hermione is Harry's sister and extremely smart. She was the one who said we were Soulmates- but she didn't say ANYTHING about this Magical Mate thing".
Harry smiles down lovingly at me and pulls out his wand- I can feel my breath catch. He taps his ring on his right hand twice- a beautiful golden lion head with rubies for the eyes and emeralds all around it.
BOOM!!!! Like a shockwave! Hermione enters the room with a smile on her face and looks at us expectantly.
"Hey Sis, we were just told some fascinating news and Krissie insisted I bring you here. The Healers are saying we are something called "MagicMates" and before we could continue, I called you here" he said.
"MAGICMATES!!" She yelled! "Are you bloody kidding me? No, of course your not. ONLY HARRY BLEEDING POTTER could have this happen!! Holy shit! Wait a minute! Is she pregnant?"
Both Harry and I laugh "Pregnant? Of course not, we haven't done anything". Then I look at the Healers -who are staring at the floor.
"WAIT!! What are you NOT saying?!" I yell
"As I was explaining, MagicMates happen when your magic basically marries each other- it is very rare because it's the highest level of Soul Bonding. The REASON you feel so bad is because your magic and Mr Potters are merging. Sometimes, when that happens, Magic takes matters into its own hands and a magical pregnancy can occur. Out of the 2 couples I knew - only 1 had a magical pregnancy occur before they had sexual relations. The other one was pregnant right away or Magic WOULD have intervened. I already cast the Pregnancy spell on you and know the result but I am going to cast it again so you can see it. Ready?" She said
I am speechless and nod, reaching over i grab Harry's hand. He's white as a sheet but he holds my hand back while we wait.
"FETUSES REVEALIO!!" And a warm sensation comes over my stomach as it suddenly glows purple. I'm confused on the result so I look at Harry- who is staring at it with his mouth hanging open. I look at Hermione and she is openly crying. "What? " I say?
Healer Sprout smiles and says, "Blue is for Boys and Pink is for girls. Purple is for more than one".
Well Shit! I think. "How many?" I ask.
Healer Sprout says "Let me cast the other spell to see," I nod.
"FETUSES DIFFERENCIATO" and a projection appears above my stomach, like an ultrasound, and I see several little blips glowing across the projection.
"Wait a minute!! Are those heartbeats?!" I recognize it from having previous ultrasounds and she nods.
I glance over at Harry and he's pale and counting "1,2,3,4,5! Is this right! How many are there?"
"No, there's not five. Your counting the same ones twice. I am seeing 4- 2 boys and 2 girls but we can confirm as you get farther along."
"Are you saying I'm NOT ONLY pregnant without having sex, but that I am having FOUR babies!!" I screech!
"Actually no, I believe Mr Potter WAS correct. There are 5 heartbeats. 3 are showing blue for the boys, and 2 are girls.
I don't remember anything else as everything went black!
Silence came!
