A/N: Don't hate me too much for the cliffy. After all this fic is finished despite going through a rewrite...
Darn it How could I have forgotten that Andromeda needed to be in this story more? And Shacklebolt...geez me and my twisted but creative mind...
Chapter 18
Neville still wasn’t used to staying at Longbottom Hall all day despite it being the second month or was it third? He couldn’t remember, “Rika?
“Yes Master?” the tiny house elf Apparated beside his chair.
“Pumpkin juice.”
“Of course Master.”
Neville was missing Adrian; his lover was at Marcheness seeing to Colin’s bi-weekly check-up. He glanced down at his swollen stomach that contained their sons, he smiled at the ring on his finger that marked him as Adrian’s intended that rested on his stomach. They kicked, he laughed, “Missing Daddy too? Don’t worry, he’ll be home soon.” Despite Dumbledore’s incarceration Adrian was extremely protective, he was allowed two places Longbottom Hall and Marcheness. His healer fiancé had yet to find a ‘competent healer’ to entrust him to, Hermione Granger a former housemate was still on probation and was seeing to Luna and Nemia. He hoped Dumbledore stayed imprisoned this time, the last thing he wanted was to be kidnapped and assaulted putting his babies at risk. He knew that Adrian’s protectiveness was only natural…
He was looking forward to their Bonding, the official recognition of the reality that Adrian, himself and their soon to be born boys were a family.
He winced, with Dumbledore in custody arrested by his godmother’s daughter and another Auror his godparents probably heard about his pregnancy from others.
Merlin, he was going to be in so much trouble.
Especially with how much his godmother’s Bondmate had helped him in regards to his career. He hadn’t even had the foresight to tell them that he was temporarily- he hoped, resigning from St. Mungos.
He sighed as he made his way to the library floo; he tossed in the powder, “Lavender Vale.” Hoping that that the floo would be open so that someone was home.
To his joy and surprise the floo connected.
He called out shakily, “Aunt Annie?”
“Who is it?” came the very familiar harsh tones of his godmother.
“It’s Neville.”
“Well don’t just shake in your shoes. Pull yourself together and come through.”
Neville swallowed, “I sort of promised not to leave the Hall.”
“You’re at the Hall? Since when? I knew you’d resigned from St. Mungos. Which by the way Neville I am quite disappointed you didn’t tell Ted or myself first.”
“Aunt Annie, I hate to be rude but I can’t exactly kneel fireside and it would be unfair to request it of you. Perhaps, we can compromise. Can you step through? You’re welcome to lecture me all you want. Merlin knows I deserve it.”
“Neville Alan Longbottom! What have Ted and I told you about making self-deprecating comments about yourself?”
“Not to make them?” Neville replied meekly.
“Then why are you? How can you expect for patients to take you seriously if you don’t even have a good opinion of yourself?”
“Please Aunt Annie I don’t want to fight. We do need to talk. Can you please step through?”
“Oh alright. That doesn’t mean you’re off the hook young man. I don’t care if you’re the youngest certified Mind Healer! I can still turn you over my knee.”
“I’m sure you could.” Neville wondered if she still threatened to spank Dora, knowing his godmother she probably did.
It took ten minutes before Healer Andromeda Tonks stepped through the floo.
She took one look at him, her eyes narrowed and she snapped, “Since when did you have a lover and fail to tell me? You’re pregnant? Is that why you quit St. Mungos? How far along are you?”
Neville wilted, the questions felt like arrows.
Andromeda wasn’t always so snappish, just when she was annoyed. Or at least disappointed.
Neville swallowed, “Did Dora mention her recent arrest?”
“Don’t change the subject young man!”
“I’m not Aunt Annie. Promise. Did she mention arresting Dumbledore?”
“What did that useless man do now? I didn’t like him much when Sirius spilled the nudging he got from that arrogant bastard. I liked him even less when I heard he wanted to subvert James, Lily and Sirius’ will. He really made me angry when I heard what he did to Harry during the Tournament.”
“He imperioed Granger and forced her to create a male pregnancy potion that created seemingly permanent wombs. She dosed four persons without their knowledge. The first was Harry, the only Halfblood subject to be engaged to a pureblood. Then he must have dosed me because I’m the farthest along after Harry. I was his pureblood test subject,” he felt almost ill at the thought.
“Who is the father?” Andromeda had calmed down a little and was less abrasive.
“Adrian?”
“Adrian Pucey? The Genius Healer I shepherded through the program?”
Neville blushed, “He’s really good to me. He figured out I was the third test subject though I was dosed second. I’d gained a lot of weight quickly.”
Andromeda muttered about his eating habits.
Neville sighed, “I know. Adrian makes sure I eat. We haven’t known about my pregnancy long. I planned to tell you sooner. Then everything seemed like a blown up cauldron. We worried about Harry he was getting close to the seventh month mark. Then Professor Severus Prince collapsed.”
“I was part of his healer team. I warned him extensively that he wasn’t healthy enough to have a child. He took that potion against healer’s advice. He didn’t tell Remus he’d done it until after he collapsed. Please tell me he didn’t do it again.”
Neville shook his head sadly, “No, he didn’t. Dumbledore had him dosed. He went into shock because he was rejecting the womb. Before they could discover that Draco turned up and said Harry was missing. His sister had sent a house elf to tell him about their papa. Harry sent his own house elf after Draco. Granger and Dumbledore kidnapped Harry, then Granger removed the first child. Dumbledore refused to let her tend the child. It was left naked, screaming and covered in birth fluids. Adrian had Draco send his personal elf to find them. They rescued the child, tended to it, summoned Aurors- one being Dora, but the youngest twin was still inside Harry. By the time Adrian removed it, it wasn’t breathing. He had to leave Harry to Granger while he tried to get the little one to breath.”
Andromeda grumbled, “Why didn’t they call me? I would have come!”
Neville winced, “They took advantage of Granger because she was already there and they were running out of time. Harry was bleeding, almost haemorrhaging because he wasn’t being taken care of properly. Even I know there are supposed to be at least two healers during a delivery; especially if it’s a wizard bearer. The first twin was lying naked, still covered in amniotic fluid and blood on a dusty, dirty table. When Dobby, Draco and Adrian arrived they had to eliminate Dumbledore as a threat, send for Aurors, tend to the first infant, attempt to ensure the second twin lived and save Harry from bleeding to death.”
“I see. That’s different. I would be very angry if I was passed over on purpose. I am still disappointed in you. I’m your godmother, in absence of your grandmother and parents I’m the closest thing to grandparents your kids have.”
Neville swallowed, “Aunt Annie…we both know that Adrian can’t be my birth healer nor can he be my regular healer. I know that you delivered Professor Prince’s children. I was hoping, you’d overlook,” he meant forgiven, “my silence and tardiness in informing you. I was distracted. The pregnancy was sudden, unplanned. We moved here, I resigned from St. Mungos. I am grateful for everything you have done for me. If you and Uncle Ted didn’t arrange for students like us to ‘study ahead’ I would never have met Adrian so soon.” If ever and he would be living in his apartment, lonely and forgetting to take care of himself.
Andromeda pinned him with a penetrating stare, “Of course I will. Would I deny my rights to be your children’s grandmother? Accident or not, I wish Nymphadora would give me grandbabies. Unfortunately, she’s too busy saving the world and being a nymphet!” she pulled out her wand, smirking, “Oh I do hope that you haven’t told Rufus yet. He’ll be very much annoyed that I learned first.”
A few spells later and both Neville and Andromeda had pictures of the babies.
Andromeda grinned, “Two healthy boys, I envy you. I can’t wait to brag. Nymphadora will be informed that it doesn’t get her out of having grandchildren for me.”
Neville almost felt sorry for the older girl, Nymphadora was quite a bit older then he was.
His godmother’s only child had been sorted into Hufflepuff and had been about six years ahead of him. She was in her Seventh year when he and Draco started.
“Now you take care of yourself. Eat small but often. You’re too thin! Any morning sickness?”
Not now. I was a bit queasy before I knew but it passed. I’m more interesting in the joy of feeling them move.” There was a slight ripple under his skin.
Neville grabbed her hand and placed it on his stomach, “Feel that?”
A broad grin crossed the former Slytherin’s face, “Yes. I forgot how magical it was. To feel that bit of pressure and know that it means there is a baby inside.”
Andromeda rose pocketing her copies of the photos of the baby in the womb.
“Thank Aunt Annie.”
“No thank you. I’m happy to be a grandmother.” Andromeda said before steeping into the floo.
XoooooX
Adrian had finished his exam of Colin and was walking back to the Marcheness Library to floo home.
“Why are you so concerned with Colin’s pregnancy? I thought he was doing alright?” honestly, Seamus was worried. Bea was not happy he was polluting the O’Shanesey name with his Muggle-born lover but her opinion didn’t matter. He had more important things to do like hounding the Ministry to bring Dumbledore to trial for illegal potions testing and the rape of his lover. Colin’s injuries this past summer made his pregnancy though miraculous but also quite dangerous.
“Professor Severus Snape was dosed with the potion following our request for him to research its properties. He conceived.”
“That’s wonderful isn’t it? Harry and his sisters with have a larger family…”
Adrian shook his head, “You don’t understand he can’t carry a child to term. His body was traumatized too much during his developing years; neither his body nor his magic can handle the stress of a pregnancy. The day Harry was kidnapped Severus was brought to me because he’d fainted as part of his body’s rejection of the womb. I didn’t realize he was rejecting because during my exam we discovered Harry’d been kidnapped. By the time Draco and I recovered Harry and the twins Severus’ condition had worsened. If the babies and the womb weren’t removed he would have died.”
“Professor Prince is alright isn’t he?” Seamus asked the sinking feeling of dread already twisting in his gut.
“Thanks to Luna Lovegood’s offer to carry professors Prince’s children to term. She insists she’s carrying twin boys. I can’t verify that just yet, he was barely three weeks.”
“Professor Severus almost died…can that happen to Colin?”
“I don’t know. I’m hoping not.”
Seamus asked, “If his body rejected the pregnancy what change do our children have?”
Adrian pinched his nose, “I didn’t tell him but I know the gender of the twins. I haven’t said anything just yet because I am still worried that he could lose them.”
If Colin lost their babies it would destroy him, “What are we expecting?”
“A boy and a girl; the girl is very weak. She might not survive; your son has a better chance. In troubled pregnancies involving multiple births the weaker twin often expires to give the stronger twin a better chance of surviving to delivery.” Adrian couldn’t look Seamus in the face; he was expecting his own sons and hearing something like this would devastate him.
“Could I…carry our children if it got too dangerous?” Seamus had to know…
“No, a wizard cannot complete another’s pregnancy. You need an established womb, a stable one. On rare occasion and only in greatest need can a witch carry dispermal embryos.” Adrian said shaking his head.
Then Seamus had two choices, Harry who had recently had a traumatic birth or Artemis, his sister and the twin of the girl carrying Colin’s nephew. “We can’t lose our babies…” would either be willing to give his children a second chance if Colin rejected the womb? Rejection could be fatal, he remembered a cousin of his Muggle father receiving a liver transplant and rejecting it within a year. The woman died in hours…
“The only thing we can do is hope for the best, don’t let him get stressed and make sure he stays in bed. Also make sure he eats, he has to put on weight because of the babies as long as he doesn’t stand it can’t over tax his delicate spine.” Once again Adrian was restraining himself from breaking his oath as a healer and causing injury to that bloody embarrassment to all bent wizards, Albus Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.
“I’ll take good care of him…”
Adrian stepped into the floo, “I know you will.”
Seamus clenched his fist, it wasn’t fair…he loved their babies and he would protect Colin from anything but he couldn’t carry their babies for him. Merlin, why did this have to be so dangerous for his beloved?
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Troll?
A/N- I decided to stop confusing everyone- including myself. Harry's soon-to-be sisters are only three years behind him. Which fits best because when he is a Fourth Year and Draco is in Fifth, the girls are eleven. Sorry for the confusion.
To anyone reading as of August 5, 2012 Bound to you's rewrite is currently still in progress and up to chapter 17 are edited. Sorry for the confusion.
