Chapter 17
It was the night, well morning actually of the delivery of their 'daughter…
They had gone to bed early so that they might wait for Andromeda to arrive with the babe.
The delivery was scheduled for two this morning; Andromeda had given Ginny's elf guard a potion that would ensure that she was unconscious during the caesarean delivery.
They only had to wait…
Females were supposed to be difficult but not impossible for all male couples…
They were impatient, while a connection with Ginny was undesirable, it would be too cruel to leave any child to be raised by Ginny. Between the spell Harry cast as revenge for her attempt to force intimacy between them and the life debt both Ginny and the Weasley family owed him, to demand her firstborn was entirely logical.
They would be more worried if one of them had been due for a caesarean delivery, Harry would be due around Draco's birthday.
Harry wanted their twin boys to be born on Draco's birthday if possible…
XoooooX
As a birth healer, Andromeda had overseen and delivered many infants natural, induced and caesarean. While she preferred to take on witch patients, she had a few wizards whose children she had delivered as well.
Chief of which was former Ravenclaw Damocles Martin nee Belby who had been disowned for falling in love with and eloping with a werewolf.
She had also tended to some of Edgar Bones' pregnancies; his bonded Mara Leto 'Marlene' McKinnon had been a hit wizard and Emelia Bones' partner so he had carried the children of their union. Minerva McGonagall's nephew Michael had also been a patient of hers and she'd delivered both of his children.
Narcissa and Malcolm Bulstrode had number among her patients as well but Bellatrix had never to her knowledge fallen pregnant so she had never had a birth healer. She had delivered both Harry and Draco, as well as Neville.
Narcissa had only come to her when she began to have a difficult time, the stress of the war had nearly caused her to lose Draco, which was why she had coddled him, and he ended up spoilt.
Andromeda had overseen and participated in a number of home births, yet usually they were to couples who were to raise the child together. This was the first birth where she would be taking the babe from the bearer.
Adoption was rare even though it was possible, some pureblood Houses were funny about it and their entails forbid blood-adopted persons from inheriting. That of course only applied to full-blood adoptions, in the case of infertile Bondmates they were expected to blood adopt their spouse's offspring to ensure that the bloodline continued.
Andromeda knew that they had things for boys because they had Teddy and Scorpius but Neville and Blaise had slipped out to purchase layettes as well things that they would need for a girl.
She cast spells to ensure that the baby was still were it was yesterday, it was rather mature for its gestation but the longer she carried the baby, the odder Ginny was and Andromeda wanted to prevent the idiot wench from adversely affecting the child.
Once she was satisfied that that all was well with carefully controlled slicing jinxes, Andromeda began the caesarean. Targeted freezing charms kept the abdomen from filling with blood, normally one should deliver with a medi-witch or nurse in attendance but in this case Andromeda preferred to rely on her personal house elf who had always assisted her during delivery.
Ginevra Weasley survived the Carrows, led the resistance at Hogwarts known as the Reconstituted Dumbledore's Army, she was Harry's last known relationship and she'd kissed him at the end of the battle so they would be considered a battlefield romance.
While there would be jealous witches and wizards, they would have been followed religiously to see how their relationship played out. Luckily, Ginny's whorish ways hadn't been found out or else there would be many witches and wizards regardless of age wanting her head.
From what Andromeda understood, Harry had broken up with her not expecting to get back together. The events of the war changed him, changed them all and Harry realised that Ginny wasn't the person he wanted to spend his life with and that was before he knew she was a whore.
Andromeda had preformed this operation numerous times but she needed to focus.
Her slicing jinxes were like controlled invisible knives, cutting through, skin and muscle before reacting the uterus.
Andromeda paused to make sure the babe hadn't moved before she made the cut just below the baby.
Her elf held back the skin and muscle so that Andromeda could see; setting aside her wand, Andromeda manually removed the infant.
Gigi held out her hands and Andromeda placed the infant in them, then Andromeda tied the cord with a bit of sanitized red string before a non-verbal severing sliced just above it. A swift knot against the stomach and Gigi took the infant away to bathe and dress it.
Leaving Andromeda to remove the placenta and seal Ginny up.
As experienced as she was, it took no time at all.
While not known to the Wizarding community at large, there were certain blessings that birth healers knew they had to take special oaths to learn them. The placenta was a babe's first home as well as how it fed so it was very strong magically and there were spells to keep a baby healthy that one could cast on the placenta.
She was suspicious that Harry and Draco had survived the war because of her blessings.
Andromeda had been interrupted in it by Lady Augusta Longbottom and was suspicious that was what his troubles were. That is she hadn't been responsible, since Andromeda was suspicious the woman had verbally terrorised him…
She planned to instruct her boys Harry and Draco to never question a birth healer,
A stasis spell on the placenta before Andromeda turned her attention to sealing Ginny up.
She thought that her boys would be better off if Ginny no longer lived but her Healer oaths would not permit her to allow Ginny to expire.
Andromeda had not lost a bearer or infant at birth and she would not besmirch her reputation even if it would solve problems.
Once Ginny bore no sign of her pregnancy or delivery to Andromeda's satisfaction, she left the elves assigned to look after the wench to change the bedding and to see that Ginny was physically well cared for.
Andromeda stepped into Ginny's en suite bath and stripped off her surgery robes to shower quickly.
Once she was clean and dressed in her normal robes, Andromeda exited the bathroom and accepted the babe.
She had light reddish hair and newborn blue eyes, given Harry's mother's colouring Andromeda had no doubt that the child would be accepted as his even if they didn't go through with a blood adoption.
Though Andromeda worried how the Wizarding press and community would take their Hero being legally bound and having children with a presumed Death Eater.
While Draco did bear the Dark Mark, he had never taken it willingly.
Speaking of which, Andromeda knew that while her boys wouldn't think of it, she needed to speak with her daughter's former Auror partner and now pro-tem Minister for Magic.
There had always been something about babes that soften the former Queen of Slytherin…
She had chosen the field not only because of her experience of her mother nearly dying in childbirth but also because she wanted to bring babes into the world as well as help those who seemed to have conception issues. She could deliver babes, do research, chose her own patients and even brew potions as time permitted.
Andromeda covered the infant girl head to toe with a blanket and then made her way to the nearest floo.
It was actually in Ginny's sitting room, however only certain persons had exit permissions.
Bill Weasley, herself and Draco had that.
Even Molly Weasley didn't…
She had to be escorted by one of them and Ginny was not magically permitted to leave the apartment much less use the floo.
In fact Andromeda smirked, she had cast a spell on the witch's wand that prevented her from Apparating, doing spells beyond a certain level or writing owls to ask people to save her or contacting Harry.
Satisfied the babe would survive the floo trip safely, Andromeda stepped in and tossed the powder.
"Malfoy Manor!"
The default floo was in the receiving room where the boys were waiting…
XoooooX
Draco sprang to his feet when the familiar green flames lit the floo's hearth.
Out stepped his aunt with a blanket-wrapped bundle cradled in her arms.
The blanket was a dusty rose with lilacs on it.
Aunt Andromeda held out the blanket wrapped bundle.
Draco took the baby from his aunt, peeling the blanket back and saw an adorable baby girl with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes…
While taking the Weasley slut's baby had been his idea to satisfy both the Weasleys' life debts and Harry's overactive guilt complex, Draco had been worried that he would find it difficult to love this child.
However, he was pleased to find his heart swelled with love for this little girl whose parents didn't really want her. His heart went out to her just as it had to his orphaned cousin.
Aunt Andromeda had mentioned that Ginny only spoke about her expected child as means to seduce Harry back to her side.
Yet like Scorpius, Draco found he couldn't hate an innocent baby because its parentage. Scorpius couldn't help that he was sired during a rape anymore then this little girl could help having Ginny Weasley for a bearer.
This nameless little girl was just as much of an orphan as Teddy.
Harry joined him nervously; his voice sang with awe, "She's beautiful…"
XoooooX
Unlike Draco or Andromeda, Harry had never been around a baby from day one…
He came into both Teddy and Scorpius' lives when they were both three months old respectively.
That was how old Teddy was when he moved into Lavender Vale and how old Scorpius was when he had portkeyed into Malfoy Manor after being attacked.
Now he was bonded, he was also the adopted father of three, one of which was now blood adopted and he was pregnant with twins.
They now had a little girl…
Draco asked with a tight expression, "Did that wench mention a name?"
Andromeda sighed, "Lily Ginevra Molly…"
Harry snorted, "She dares to name her daughter after my mother and herself? That witch has overstepped herself for the last time. That sort of name doesn't even count."
Bill mentioned that the Prewetts chose welsh names and the Weasleys chose Latin names but they both have Black bearers in their ancestry. Hence why this little one is a Black heiress."
By this time Harry and Draco retired to the loveseat.
Harry swallowed, "So what do we call her?"
"Her blood grandfather is named for a constellation, Arcturus to be precise." Andromeda offered.
Draco chuckled, "What about naming her for the constellation Carina? It's a Latin name and it honours her Black ancestry just as my own name and Scorpius' does. While we wouldn't want to draw too much attention to her blood relationship to the Weasleys, we could name her in honour of her godparents. After all you were at school with Bill's siblings, you're George's business partner and you were a Triwizard Champion with Fleur. You made George and Seamus Scorpius' godparents after all."
"What about Genevieve? Genevieve Carina Black has a nice ring to it." Andromeda offered.
Harry soundlessly clapped his hands, "I love it! I think we should call her Vivi it would be adorable. By June we'll have Teddy, Scorpius, Vivi, Orion and Jaime; which would give us a very full nursery. I think we should just take it easy after that…"
Draco smirked, "Afraid given our clear fertility that we'd end up with more kids then we can handle?"
Harry glared, "No, do you realise by Scorpius' birthday that we'd have five infants 18 months and under? That is a lot of responsibility for two 19-year-old wizards. Since I moved in with Andromeda I've been busy trying to balance Teddy and George so I hadn't taken the time to take my NEWTs. With the battle in May and your disastrous year under the Carrows, did you manage to take them?"
Draco scowled, "No. I had planned to do so before I entered into a Potions apprenticeship with Uncle Severus. He was tutoring me before you arrived and things changed after that." His expression softened immediately.
The recently named Viv then began to whimper softly…
Draco's milk was far too rich for her and Harry had yet to come into his own milk, so they were forced to bottle feed the babe with milk from Fleur.
On her own accord, Vivi's aunt had been bottling and preserving her own milk having rightly surmising that neither Draco nor Harry could feed her at present.
Being more accustomed to bottle-feeding, it was Harry who fed her…
While Teddy could drink roughly the same milk that Scorpius did, Vivi needed milk from a bearer newly birthed and Andromeda advocated feeding with breast milk to ensure a child remained healthy.
Vivi snuffled but was easily satisfied for it was food she wanted…
Draco gently stroked her hair to get her accustomed to his touch.
Andromeda then said good night and left them to get acquainted with their daughter.
Small as she was, Vivi was quickly satisfied and fell asleep.
Dippy appeared immediately to relieve them of her and padded away on silent feet while cooing over Missy Vivi as she called her.
Exhausted, Harry and Draco returned to their apartments to sleep…
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
suezq- Thank you!
delia cerrano- Blaise is dark skinned because his sire had Moorish blood due to being Basque according to my head canon because Zabini is more Basque in origin. In this story Neville has to be strong outside a relationship but in a relationship he wants to be cared for but also trusted. Being in a relationship with Blaise how long he stays an Auror is debatable, it depends on how well he can defend his choice and prove he can protect himself. Blaise and Neville are each rather lonely and isolated from others, it is easy to see that Neville needs the nurturing and care only a Veela can provide after his past. As for Ginny's daughter, well it satisfied debts and made a potentially scandalous situation vanish..
