Chapter 15

Harry was asleep on his bed, while Draco sat on a stool by his daughter's cot. He was reading the letter for the umpteenth time.

Dear Harry and Draco,

I don't know if you've heard about me and Bill, but anyway, he's got a flat in Paris. We were wondering if you two want to come with us for the holidays next week. Send a reply back with Raven please.

Lots of love

Hermione

p.s. hoping everything's fine with the baby. Hope you think of a name for her soon!

Draco folded up the letter, and looked over at his daughter, who was curled up and sleeping.

"What are we going to call you, then?" he whispered.

"How about Cassandra?" Harry said, wrapping his arms around Draco, and kissing him lightly on the head.

"Do you think she looks like a Cassandra?"

"Yeah, I do. It's perfect for her. I mean, it's an elegant name, just like she is. She gets that from her dad."

"Thanks, Haz."
"I was talking about me."

"Shut up!" Draco hit Harry lightly on the arm, then kissed him on the lips. Harry pulled Draco as close to him as he could, and kissed him again. The kiss slowly became more passionate, tongues entwined.

Suddenly, Harry pushed Draco away, and clutched his stomach in pain before he collapsed to the floor.

Draco got to his knees. "Oh my God, what is it, Haz?"

"I...I dunno. Help me get back on the bed."

Draco put one arm under Harry's head and the other under his legs, and lifted Harry gently onto the bed, where he lay for a moment. The blonde lay next to the dark haired boy, holding him close, as they both fell into a deep sleep.

Draco awoke at dawn to Cassandra's crying. He soothed her back to sleep, before lying back down next to Harry. The bed felt slightly damp to him, so he woke Harry up.

"Harry," he said nervously. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah," Harry answered, rubbing his eyes. "Why?"

"I...I think you're waters broke."
"What?!"

"I think you're in labour!"

After a gruelling 20 hour labour, Harry had given birth to his twins. Draco, who had been next to Harry the whole time, was holding the boy, while Harry held the girl.

"We should name them soon, let Herms and Bill know," Draco said.

"OK, do you want to name the boy or the girl?"

"Ummm...I'll name the girl. You named Cassie."
"OK, let's trade."

The two boys struggled for a moment, but managed to give the babies to each other. They pondered for a while, scanning their minds for names.

"OK, I'm done," said Harry, looking up from the sleeping boy in his arms.

"So am I," Draco replied. "You go first."
"Xander Vergil."

"Perfect. Serendipity Temperance."

"Excellent." Harry paused for a moment. "Are they Potter-Malfoy or Malfoy-Potter?"

"Malfoy-Potter sounds better."
"Only 'coz your name's first."

"Duh! What do you think though?"
"I think it's perfect."

Draco looked at his lover. "Cassandra Rain, Xander Vergil, Serendipity Temperance. Our family."

OK, I'm sorry to all my avid readers that it has taken about 18 months for me to update this story, but I've been really busy with exams at school. If anyone's interested, I got 1 A, 7 A's, 1 B, and 2 C's at GCSE, and a B in AS-Level French. Go me!! At the moment, I'm doing my other AS levels, so updating will still be rare, but I will try to do as much as possible!!!
