Draco and Blaise were running up the staircases closely followed by Harry and Ron. They had raced out of the hall like they were being chased by rampaging Hippogriffs at Blaise's words.

"I saw her in the library mate. She stood up to get a book and the next thing she was on the floor. Madam Pince levitated her and took her to the hospital wing straight away and I came to find you" Blaise panted out as they ran up another flight of stairs.

They skidded to a halt outside the hospital wing and Draco flew through the doors and straight to Madam Pomfrey.

"Is she Okay? What happened? Is the baby alright?" He rambled out, desperately looking around for Hermione.

"Mr Malfoy, calm down. She is fine. Follow me" Madam Pomfrey led the four boys to a bed in the back of the ward.

"She is asleep. When Madam Pince brought her in I checked her over. The baby is absolutely fine" Madam Pomfrey whispered to them.

"If she's fine, why did she collapse" Harry asked. Draco was already at her side, kissing her bump.

"She is exhausted Mr. Potter. She isn't getting enough sleep. Merlin knows being pregnant is tiring enough, without studying for exams and from what Madam Pince said she is constantly in the library. She needs to slow down" Madam Pomfrey informed them.

At that moment Hermione stirred. Draco moved up to her and kissed her temple. "You okay baby?" he asked.

"Mmmm...Oh hey guys" Hermione said when she saw the boys around her bed. "Yeah, I'm okay. Don't really remember what happened. I was in the library and then I was here" she told them.

"Could you three step outside a moment? I need to speak to Mr & Mrs Malfoy" Madam Pomfrey told Harry, Ron and Blaise before pulling the curtain around the bed and casting a silencing charm on the area.

"Hermione, collapsing like this today was your body's way of telling you that you are pushing yourself too hard. I am going to put you on two weeks bed rest" Madam Pomfrey told her.

"But Madam Pomfrey, the NEWTs start in two weeks! I need to revise!" Hermione interrupted.

"You will be on two weeks bed rest in your flat. If you cannot adhere to this I will make you do it here in the hospital wing" Madam Pomfrey insisted.

"Mr. Malfoy, I am counting on you to make sure that she rests as much as possible. You are very lucky that this wasn't very serious. If you had fallen forward instead of backwards you risked seriously injuring the baby or possibly starting off early labour" she told them.

"Now, I want you here tonight so that I can monitor you and make sure nothing develops later on in the day" Madam Pomfrey told Hermione "and Hermione I mean it when I say rest. If I find out that you are doing anything you shouldn't be I will keep you in here for the two weeks" Madam Pomfrey then opened the curtains and left.

The bed was instantly surrounded by Harry, Ron, Blaise and Ginny, Luna and Pansy, who had heard what had happened and instantly gone to the hospital wing to make sure Hermione was okay.

"Hey you guys" Hermione said when she saw them all standing around her.

"Oh 'Mione, when are you going to learn?" Ginny said sitting in one of the chairs Harry had summoned over for the group and taking Hermione's hand.

"You can't study twenty-four hours a day" Ginny chided her.

"I know, It's just…I can't let the ministry dictate this as well. I need to do well in these exams, even if it means nothing later. I didn't think I would survive the war and be able to come back to school and do this but I did and then they throw all this marriage and baby stuff on us. I just wanted to have this one thing, for me. I know it's silly but I needed this bit of normalcy" Hermione explained. "I should've been more careful. I'm sorry I worried you all" she said, unable to look them in the eye.

"Don't be silly Hermione, that's understandable" said Pansy from her seat at the foot of Hermione's bed "we all feel that way, we just don't make ourselves ill to get it. You need to just tone it down a bit"

"Come on guys, we need to get back to lessons" Blaise told them and after each giving Hermione a kiss on the cheek, Harry, Ron, Blaise, Luna. Ginny and Pansy left. Draco however refused to leave.

"I asked you to slow down Hermione. I practically begged you. You put yourself and our baby in danger. Don't ever scare me like that again" Draco reprimanded her. Now that he knew she was okay, he was pissed!

"I know. I'm sorry Draco. I swear I'll slow down. The baby and you are the most important things to me, I'll be more careful" she told him

"Too bloody right you will. Like it or not Hermione I will not allow this to happen again. It's not just you that you have to think about anymore. That's my baby too and you will not harm it!" Draco was fuming. He got up and walked away before he said something he would regret, leaving Hermione in tears.

He went back to lessons, and then later on went to dinner and then to the flat and to bed.

….

3am

Draco was still not asleep. He regretted going off at Hermione and missed the feel of her next to him in the bed. He got out of bed and got dressed; he knew what he needed to do.

He left the flat and got in the lifts down to the fireplaces in the lobby of the Marriage Wing. He flooed straight over to the Hospital Wing and slowly crept towards Hermione's bed so as not to wake up Madam Pomfrey.

He found her still awake, with tear tracks down her face.

"Baby, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to go off at you like that. I was just so scared when Blaise found me and I guess I just wasn't thinking about what I was saying. I love you and the baby so much" he said kissing away her tears.

"No, you were right. I was being selfish; the baby is the most important thing. I'm going to do whatever Madam Pomfrey tells me, including drink this disgusting Pepper Up potion. I never did like pepper very much" she told him, grimacing at the goblet on her bedside table.

Draco got up and transfigured the bed into a double and climbed in next to Hermione. She turned over into his arms and they laughed as the baby began to kick against him; soon after they were both fast asleep.

….

The next day Hermione was released from the hospital wing and went back to the flat and straight to bed. Madam Pomfrey had agreed that she could read and revise in bed as long as she made sure to sleep and eat properly.

She took her Pepper Up potion every day and made sure to try and get eight hours of sleep at night, although that's when the baby decided to wake up and kick her constantly so she was finding sleep difficult.

After the two weeks were up, Hermione went to see Madam Pomfrey to get the all clear to go back to lessons.

Madam Pomfrey checked her over "Where's your husband? He hasn't missed a check up yet" asked Madam Pomfrey as she measured Hermione's stomach.

"We didn't get much sleep last night, I was really uncomfortable and the baby was having fun kicking me in the ribs. I thought I would let him sleep, so I left early" Hermione told the nurse.

"Ah, I see. Well you seem to be fine Hermione. I'm quite happy for you to go back to lessons. A few things before you do though. Now your thirty-four weeks, and your growing as expected. The baby's head is now engaged, which is probably why you were feeling it kick you in the ribs. Now most first babies tend to be late but if you do feel any unusual twinges of any kind do not be afraid to come and see me and we can check you out, okay?" Madam Pomfrey informed her, filling in some final notes on her chart.

"Thanks Madam Pomfrey, I'll just be of-…."

Hermione never got to finish her sentence as the floo flashed green and George stepped out with a panting Pansy in his arms.

He was white as a ghost "Madam Pomfrey, help. She just, doubled over in pain, says it's a contraction. It's too early isn't it?"

"Now don't panic you'll be no good to us if you do George. Come on Pansy dear, up onto a bed, let have a look at you" Madam Pomfrey said, running over to them.

Hermione stood frozen. Even though it was twins, she knew it was too early for Pansy to give birth. She went over to them "Can I help?"

"Maybe dear, hold on" Madam Pomfrey said as she covered Pansy in a sheet and began to feel if she was dilated or not "George, I started to prepare for the births recently, in my office behind my desk is a cabinet full of potions, go and get me the pale pink one on the top shelf" she told him.

"Hermione dear, try to comfort Pansy until he gets back" she whispered.

Hermione went to Pansy and took her hand. "It's ok Pansy, everything will be fine" she kept whispering.

George came back with the potion and Madam Pomfrey got Pansy to drink it down in one. "Now I need you to lay back and try to relax while it takes effect. It will stop the contractions. You are two centimetres dilated and we don't want you to give birth yet okay"

Pansy just nodded and took a deep breath. "George, come with me" Madam Pomfrey said beckoning him away from the bed. Hermione stayed at Pansy's side and just kept talking to her, trying to get her to calm down.

Madam Pomfrey came back with George and some other potions from her office. "Pansy, we need to hold off your labour as long as possible so I'm afraid you're going to have to stay here. I need you to take a gulp of this potion every hour and rest as much as possible"

George pulled Hermione aside as Madam Pomfrey helped Pansy put on a gown. "Thanks 'Mione, I appreciate your help. I know it's not fair to ask you at the moment but do you think you could send a note to mum, because I really don't want to leave. She's at shell cottage helping Bill and Fleur with baby Victoire but she'll go mental if we don't tell her what happened" he asked.

"Of course I will George. I'll get Draco to go now, I can't really get up the owlery stairs myself but I will make sure your mum knows okay. And don't worry, she'll be okay" Hermione told him, kissing his cheek.

She went over to Pansy and gave her hug and went off to do as promised.

…

1st June

Two weeks went by. The group were starting to take their exams and Hermione was more than ready to have the baby out of her. She was thirty-six weeks gone and she felt as big as a house. Her ankles were swollen, her back hurt, she had to pee every two minutes and her mild had come in so her boobs had grown and they hurt!.

She was sitting with Draco in their living room and he was trying his best to rub her back and keep her comfortable, whilst trying not to stare at her incredible chest. They heard a knock at the door and Draco hopped up to get it as Hermione couldn't physically get up without help.

"Hello Ron, is everything okay" Draco asked when he saw who was on his doorstep.

"Pansy is in labour. Madam Pomfrey can't do anything else to stop it and she says at thiry-six weeks the babies will be okay. We're all going to the hospital wing to wait and mum and dad are on their way. I thought you'd wanna know since you and Pansy have been friends so long and stuff" Ron said, looking about pale.

"We'll come with you" Draco said, walking back to the living room to haul Hermione to her feet.

…..

Fifteen hours later Hermione, Draco, Ron, Luna, Ginny and Harry were sitting in the new waiting area that had been set up near the doors of the hospital wing. Mr. Weasley was pacing in front of them and Mrs Weasley was with George and Pansy.

They heard footsteps and all looked up in unison. It was George "Madam Pomfrey says that she's ready to push, mum sent me to tell you" he hurriedly said before running back to where his wife was about to give birth to his children.

Forty-five minutes after that Mrs Weasley came out looking tired and ecstatic at the same time. "They are just perfect" she cried to the group. "They both have red hair and weigh four pounds each. Madam Pomfrey says they're fine, being early hasn't affected them" she said before collapsing into a chair and crying joyfully into Mr. Weasley's jumper as he hugged her.

"How is Pansy?" Draco asked.

"She fine dear. She's very tired she did so well. Actually she asked for you and Hermione to go in first." Mrs. Weasley answered him.

Draco helped Hermione out of her seat and they walked hand in hand to Pansy's bed. They went around the curtains and saw a wonderful site.

George and Pansy were lying together on the small bed, each holding one of their sons. "Draco, Hermione" Pansy smiled to them.

"Hey Pan" Draco saying his childhood name for her "Mrs. Weasley said you wanted us"

"Yeah, well you're the closest thing I have to family so, I would like to introduce you to Christopher and Fred Weasley" Pansy said holding out Christopher for him to take. Hermione took a seat and George carefully stood and put Fred into her arms.

"Oh George, they're beautiful" she said to him. "Congratulations" she was tearing up.

Draco was just staring down at the bundle in his arms as the baby yawned and snuggled into him.

"Well done Pan" he said, not looking away from the baby.

Hermione was enthralled with Fred. She hadn't really been around babies and as she got closer to the birth of her own, was getting worried about being a bad mother, but Fred lying in her arms felt right. She bent to kiss his forehead and the group laughed as he opened his mouth and appeared to be searching her chest for a nipple.

"Looks like my boy is hungry" said George taking the baby and handing him to Pansy who was unbuttoning the top of her hospital gown.

"And that's our cue to go" said Draco, looking anywhere but at Pansy as she tried to coax Fred into eating for the first time.

They left the new parents alone. Hermione was tired from waiting around all day and there was a waiting area full of people eager to see the new arrivals, including Blaise, who had waited until later to join the group so as to not disturb the family.

Draco put his arm around Hermione's shoulder "Come on baby, lets go home"
