Chapter 16

August 5, 1996

Colman Shamus Finnigan born

Colin was panicked the closer he came to being able to deliver…

Having spent his entire childhood and the beginning of his adolescence in the Muggle World, women being sole bearers of children was stuck in his head despite his more recent knowledge of his own bearer being male.

He experienced labour-like cramps and had been stuck in St. Mungos for a week now due to panic attacks.

Seamus had refused to leave the hospital and had to be dragged by his grandfather to bathe and change into fresh clothes brought by his mother.

Since Colin had been admitted, his elder half brothers especially Bill and George visited often.

Though it was harder for George since he too was pregnant...

While not obvious in their affection physically, Lady Cedrella and Lady Berdina had given them lavish gifts and had put together Colm’s future nursery together with Seamus’ mother Niamh.

The closer he came to the delivery, or when his son were strong enough to be born as Healer Andromeda put it the more nervous he became.

Colin had always been rather hyper and high-strung but this pregnancy was exasperating the later.

Learning that he was going to be a big brother again by both his parents as well as another adopted sibling had drifted to the back of his mind.

Half-Muggle raised, Seamus was patient with his fears as he had always been and tried to soothe him.

Colin felt guilty about his putting Seamus through an emotional jet-coaster but his Irish bonded took it in stride calling him as passionate as his ginger brothers.

Colin might be terrified of the birth or still uneasy about the rightness in a moral sense of his being in a relationship with another boy but Seamus was still as gentle and patient as he always had been.

Even now after Colin had had yet another panic attack and had soaked Seamus’ trousers with his tears, his husband had hummed a soft Gaelic tune that Colin didn’t recognise at the moment even as Seamus stroked his hair tenderly.

Colin whispered hoarsely, “I’m sorry...”

Seamus chuckled, “You’ve naught to be sorry fer luv. Colm weren’t planned and we’re not ready ter be parents but we’ll get through this on me honour.”

Seamus knew of course that today was the birth but Colin did not.

Seamus silently uncorked a sleeping potion and held it to Colin’s lips, “Here, take this. It’ll relax ya.”

Colin obeyed and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Colin’s birth healer Andromeda must have a sixth sense or at least a spell cast to determine when Colin drifted off into a potion-induced sleep because the healer appeared with a very familiar mediwitch.

The mediwitch winked at Seamus, it was his cousin Aednat through his Aunt Aìne since his Aunt’s bonded was the younger brother of her mother Jayme.

The two healing-trained witches were accompanied by a levitating gurney and Andromeda floated Colin into it.

Silently Seamus slid off the bed and padded after the two elder witches.

Outside waiting and arriving were their families so Seamus took a seat between his grandfather Killian and Colin’s fathers Arthur and Gideon.

Colin was too emotionally-strained to continue the pregnancy or to be awake for the caesarean. So Seamus much preferred his bonded to not be pregnant if it eased his fears.

Now came the waiting...

XooooooX

Bill and Viktor arrived at St. Mungos’ soon after Colin was taken into surgery having come straight from practice.

Maximus had released them when the family elf arrived with the news that Colin was about to deliver.

Fleur and Charlie emerged together from Andromeda’s office; the floo there was open for pregnant patients and their spouses.

Since Colin was placed in the hospital for his own health so that he could be cared for by Mind Healer Ted and Birth Healer Andromeda.

George and Brecc weren’t far behind Charlie and Fleur.

Seamus was a bit in awe about being related by bonding to a world famous Seeker as well as two of the Triwizard Champions.

Like Harry, Seamus was a Quidditch fiend but for the Kenmare Kestrels and the Irish National even if it was a mixture of his Kestrels and their arch rivals, the Ballycastle Bats.

Irish were Irish when it was an International Match, even if Irish won Krum had caught the snitch ending a brilliant match.

Seamus couldn’t begin to thank his grandfather for getting them tickets.

By the time Aednat emerged, Seamus’ lip was bleeding from being bitten through out of nervousness and his mother was tending it.

Aednat grinned at him, “Colm be fine and so be yer leannán.”

Seamus would have protested but since they were bonded, Colin had allowed Seamus to make love to him fully on their bonding night. In Seamus’ mind they were true lovers as well as bondmates.

His grandfather Killian clasped him on the shoulder, “You’re a father garmhac.”

Garmhac was Irish for grandson…

He was a Da…

He let his grandfather push him towards Aednat.

His cousin guided him still awed into the delivery room.

Colin was asleep still thank Dagda.

Yet in a hospital bassinet beside Colin’s bed was a bawling boy, a bit small but he had sparse dark wheat hair. When Seamus drew closer he saw blue eyes...

Andromeda said stiffly as she placed Colm in his arms, “He’s healthy for what he’s been through. Colin should recover now that he is no longer carrying but he’ll need to see Ted for a while longer. I trust that you will ensure that he continues those visits. I will be at Hogwarts with Aednat if you need any healing.”

Seamus held Colm as gingerly as he would a newborn pup even if he were larger.

A warmth filled his heart, ‘I’m a Da!’

He grinned up at his cousin, “Can you go find Harry and Dean?”

Aednat beamed at him, “Sure thing.”

Then Seamus shook his head, “I’ll carry Colm out there. You can take Colin back to his room.”

Andromeda nodded, “That is a far better plan.”

Aednat moved to open the door for him.

Seamus stepped into that hospital corridor to show off his son to the family.

His grandfather, grandmother, mother, Colin’s fathers and brothers crowded around.

Then to their collective surprise an authority voice spoke sharply.

“I want to see the newest Prewett child...”

The crowd immediately parted.

Seamus swallowed and held himself up proudly, Muriel Malfoy nee Prewett was a power in pureblood circles.

The elderly witch looked down her nose at Seamus, “I see that like Harry Potter you had the intelligence to pursue a pureblood and redeem your line.”

Seamus wasn’t ashamed of his Muggle Da and he’d thought Colin a Muggleborn when he first was attracted to the younger Gryffindor but he held his tongue.

“He’s a bit light for a Prewett or even an O’Shanesey. Would have thought that he’d come out with the signature red hair.” Muriel said frowning. “Malfoy blood is too strong, so not one of my descendents inherited my hair. Pity, it was my best feature according to my Atticus.”

It took all of Seamus’ nerve to keep from snickering, with all of the comments that Draco had made over the years about redheads knowing that there was red hair three generations back in the Malfoy family as well as one past in Harry’s made him wonder if there would be a redheaded child in their future to haunt Draco.

No one dared make any comment regarding Malfoys and their dislike of red hair, not even Arthur Weasley whose schoolboy like feud between himself and Lucius Malfoy hadn’t escaped notice what with the tale of their brawl in Flourish and Blotts the summer before his Second Year and Colin’s first...

Seamus let Muriel examine his child before he coughed, “I hope you don’t disapprove but Colin and I decided that we wanted Harry Potter and Dean Dearborn as godparents.”

Muriel smirked, “How can I possibly disapprove? Harry Potter is consort to my great-grandson. I’m still not pleased that Lucius didn’t see fit to invite me to the bonding but when they graduate I expect an invitation to a renewal of their vows.”

A cough came from the chairs that lined the corridor.

“Of course you would be invited.” Came Draco’s familiar cool, cultured tones. “We’ve already promised Cousin Sancus’ family would be invited after all. Such an event would be celebrated with all of our family, friends and political allies as is proper for a Malfoy.”

Muriel accepted Draco’s words with a sharp nod and vanished as quickly as she had appeared.

Even Lady Cedrella let out a sigh of relief after Muriel had left...

Seamus then resumed showing off his son awhile longer before carrying the impossibly tiny boy back to the room that Colin had spent the last few weeks of his pregnancy.

Seamus laid his sleepy son in the hospital crib before he carefully slid into the bed next to Colin, mindful of the caesarean ‘scar’ so not to cause Colin pain.

A Da...

He couldn’t wait to introduce his son to his own Da even if the man were a Muggle...

Seamus hoped that his Colm would be good friends with Harry’s Orion and Scorpius as well as Luna and Neville’s Lorcan and Lysander who had been born just yesterday.

Seamus wondered if half of Colin’s fear was due to Luna’s casual admittance of her sixteen or so hour labour...

He hoped not, that would upset poor Neville terribly.

Neville had come to talk with him for a while after he was thrown out of the delivery room.

Seamus and Neville had put to rest his jealousy over Neville being able to attend Dean’s bonding and his not being invited.

Neville had stammered out an apology in that familiar but endearing way that Seamus had known forever...or at least since they were in Sorted into Gryffindor.

Seamus couldn’t wait anymore than Neville could to bring his son home...

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
