Chapter 10 The Babies Finally Arrive

"Unghhhh, Draco!" Harry moaned loudly, his hands clutching the silver metal-rail on the headboard tightly as the large bed moved with the force of his husband's thrusts as he moved above him. "Yesssss! So fucking good!"

Draco smiled, his gray eyes intense as his eyelids slid halfway closed in contentment as he continued to move inside him.

They had chosen the room just across the hall for Teddy, settling him into bed together with kisses to his forehead and hugs from both of them, saying that if he woke in the night and needed anything, to send a house-elf for it.

They had also acquired his solemn promise that he wouldn't just come into their room without knocking first.

"Better then good, I say," Draco said seriously, pressing a kiss to the back of his neck gently as he pushed deeper into him carefully. "Damn good."

"Yessssss!" Harry groaned breathlessly, panting heavily, a choked-whimper escaping his throat as Draco thrust into him harder and deeper.

"Are you alright?" the blonde asked in concern at the sound. "Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry."

"No. God, no. I'm fine. I'm wonderful. Trust me, if you'd hurt me, you'd know. I'm not very fond or accepting of pain. I think it's because I had so much of it when I was younger. Physical and emotional."

"I feel the same way," Draco said softly, kissing Harry's sweat-dampened hair briefly, lifting one hand to trail his fingertips down his side to his bare-hip in a soothing-motion. "I do have some pretty kinky fantasies, but none of them involve either of us hurting the other. All the same, I think that we should wait to explore each other in that way until the twins are born. For their safety, and yours."

"Of course," the trembling brunette breathed in answer. "Whatever you think is best. I trust you to take care of me as well as Teddy and our babies. That's part of what I meant when I said I do."

Harry shuddered beneath Draco when he started to move faster, and he smiled, pleased when the Gryffindor whimpered and squirmed with pleasure.

"What else did you mean when you said it?" he bent down to whisper in his ear seductively.

"That I love you, and that I will continue to love you, forever. Until the day that I die and beyond."

Draco shuddered in response to his words, groaning loudly as he found wonderous release inside his husband's tight-heat.

"Ohhhh, Harry, SlytherinLove you so fucking much!"

Harry moaned loudly, his entire body shaking as he came right after him, panting heavily as Draco pulled out carefully and grabbed his wand to cast a cleansing charm on the sheets before drawing the still trembling Harry into his arms, laying them down gently and tucking the covers around them both as he pressed a kiss to the brunettes sweat-drenched forehead, smiling when Harry sighed happily and snuggled closer against him, laying his head on his shoulder and closing his eyes.

"So…" Draco asked him quietly, his gray eyes curious as he looked down at him. "What names did you pick out for the babies?'

"I couldn't choose between Sagittarius and Scorpio. At least now I don't have to struggle to come up with a second name, unless you don't like them? I tried to choose ones that you would appreciate, because, even if you had never found out about them, you were still their father, and the only man who would ever be in my heart."

"Salazar, Harry…" Draco almost moaned, pulling him even closer in their bed. "I love the names.. Truly. They're perfect, my love.."


Three Months And Three Weeks Later

"Draco!" Harry hissed softly, panting heavily with the pain where he lay beside his husband in their bed.

"Yes, Harry? What's wrong, love?"

"Unghhh! My water just broke and I'm going into labor," he moaned as he answered him, clutching at the blankets with tight-fists.

"Now?" Draco gasped, sitting up instantly despite his just-awakened state, indeed feeling moisture soaking through the sheets and blankets. "But it's too early yet."

"Only by a little over a month, and try telling them that. Besides, twins are often born early. We can discuss it at length later, Draco, after you get me to St. Mungos. I'll need my bag, and you'll have to wake Teddy, or have your parents bring him when it's closer to time."

"Of course, Harry baby."


Ian got Harry and Draco situated in a room, then sent for one of the midwives that was on duty t o come oversee the labor and delivery since this wasn't his area of expertise, assuring Harry that he would return later to see the babies.


Harry screamed loudly in pain, arching his back to try to relieve some of the aching-pressure on his spine as he pushed with all his might again, and Draco's face was even paler then usual, as Harry had been at this for several hours, but, suddenly, there was a louder, wailing cry, and the midwife held up their first-born son for them to see before she washed him off and cut the cord quickly and efficiently.

Then she brought him over to Harry where he lay on the bed, handing the little bundle to him carefully.

Harry smiled widely despite his pain, holding the babe close against himself, stroking his tiny face and his back through the deep-blue blanket tenderly.

The boy's hair was jet-black like Harry's had been before he had dyed it even darker, he had Harry's darker skin-tone, and his eyes were Malfoy-gray.

"Sagittarius.." Harry crooned softly to the child. "My little Sagi…" (Sage-ie)

Harry kissed his little forehead lovingly, examining his little fingers and toes, just touching him as though trying to learn him now that he was finally here.

But, eventually, he had to hand him to Draco so that he could start to push again.

Thankfully, the second boy came faster, as though eager to meet the world and his older brother, the midwife cleaning him up and cutting the cord, wrapping him in a light-blue blanket before handing him to Harry and withdrawing from the room.

Ian came in again to tend to Harry's medical needs, smiling as he listened to Harry coo at the baby.

The second babe was delicate of form with Draco's pale complexion, as well as his fair hair, but his eyes were the emerald green of Harry's own.

"Scorpio.." Harry whispered, kissing his little forehead as he had his brother's. "Come here, Draco.. Come see him. Aren't they beautiful?"

"The most beautiful.." Draco agreed with him as he drew nearer, leaning down to kiss Harry's lips before laying Sagittarius down beside Scorpio where he rested on the Gryffindor's now-flat stomach.

They watched them with tender smiles, surprised when the babies suddenly moved, squirming 'till their arms were free of their blankets, linking the fingers of their tiny hands together, already aware of each other it seemed.

"Awww.." Harry sighed, smiling up at Draco before looking back down at the babies where they lay together on his belly. "They already love each other.."

"Yes, my darling, they do."


When Harry woke several hours later, feeling slightly refreshed, it was to see Teddy by his side and Lucius and Narcissa standing with Draco, the three of them obviously fawning over the newborn twins as Draco told his parents how they had held each others hands so soon after their birth.

"…We got a bunch of pictures of it.."

"Hey, kid," Harry said to Teddy, smiling at the boy and drawing him closer for a tight, one-armed hug.

"Hey, daddy," Teddy said, burrowing deep into the hug with a smile. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine, Teddy," Harry reassured him. "Just tired is all. Why don't you go see your little brothers? We can talk more later."

"Okay, daddy," Teddy agreed, about to bounce off across the room to the babies.

"Teddy."

"Yes, daddy?" Teddy asked, looking back at him questioningly.

"I love you," Harry said with a weary smile.

"I love you, too, daddy…"
