Chapter 23: Heirs
Harry let out a low groan, gripping his stomach tightly, he was just over eight months pregnant and he was not enjoying it at all, at least not any more. He rubbed his stomach again in a vain attempt to stop the pain that had been bothering him for the last three hours. Sweat slid down his face as he shifted in the bed, trying to get comfortable, though he wasn’t able to. He glanced around, his green eyes bright and slightly fevered as he searched for something only he could see. Grunting as he forced himself into a sitting position he rasped out a name, a loud pop signaling that his house elf had heard him.
“Master Harry” Mipsy gasped in horror, looking at her Master with wide, scared eyes.
“G-get Draco” Harry hissed between clenched teeth, his hands biting into his sensitive stomach. Mipsy nodded, disappearing before Harry’s strained eyes.
Mipsy popped into existence in the Malfoy library where Draco and Lucius were working on a new business proposal together, Narcissa was off shopping with her friends, enjoying the sunny day. It had been rainy and miserable for the last few weeks, today however the sun had finally come out.
“Master Draco” Mipsy squeaked loudly, “Master Harry is being in pain. He is asking for you” The elf said once she had both men’s attention. Draco shot up, racing out of the library, closely followed by Lucius as the man -all manners forgotten- barreled down the hall towards Harry and Draco’s room.
Bursting into the room, Draco skidded to a halt at the view in front of him. Harry was writhing in pain on the bed, tears rolling down his cheeks as he gripped his stomach. What the hell was going on?
“Dray” Harry gasped, “Twins” He hissed between pants, “Coming” Draco’s eyes grew impossibly wide.
“The twins are coming?” He squeaked, turning to his father who looked equally shocked for a moment, until Harry shrieked.
“Get a fucking Healer” The raven-haired man roared at the two stunned Malfoys, scaring them into action. Lucius bolted from the room while Draco rushed about, grabbing the bag that he had prepared the few weeks previous for when they went to the hospital.
“The Healers are on their way” Lucius said, busting back into the room, his blonde hair flying around his face.
The Healers were coming in order to safely transport Harry to Mungos, since they had special equipment in order to transport patience in Harry’s condition.
After a tense half an hour, Harry was comfortably situated in a hospital bed, asleep between bouts of contraction pain. Draco was pacing the room anxiously, waiting for Healer Markins to come talk to him while Lucius flooed Sev and tired to track down Narcissa, which was rather difficult to do while she was shopping.
Markins walked into the room, a clipboard clutched in his hand as he read over the notes taken on Harry.
“Well?” Draco asked, staring intently at the man who was in charge of his husband and unborn children’s health.
“You were right in bringing him in” Markins murmured, “It looks like Harry’s gone into labour early” He didn’t look too surprised, since it had been a high possibility the twins would be born premature. “Once we get some pain and numbing potions into him I’m going to preform a c-section, and we’ll be able to see how the twins are doing” Markins added, smiling lightly at Draco’s stunned face.
“O-okay” Draco stammered, shocked at the news. He’d be a father, today! He grinned goofily for a moment before becoming serious once again.
“Will Harry be alright? With surgery like that?” He asked Markins, his tone concerned.
“Well due to previous spell damage, Harry’s recovery will be a bit more difficult then under normal circumstances” Markins explained, “More similar to a muggle recovering from a c-section, it will take about six weeks for him to be back to normal” He murmured, checking his chart.
“You’ll have to be prepared to really help him out with these two, especially since Harry’s pre-existing condition prevents him from being completely mobil”
“Of course” Draco murmured, glancing up as Severus hustled into the room, a box clutched in his hands.
“Potions?” Markins asked as the box was shoved into his hands. Severus nodded smartly, before looking at Draco and then finally Harry.
“Thanks Sev” Draco murmured, smiling in relief at his godfather. Sev would make sure Harry got the best potions.
Sev just nodded, though he grinned lightly as he looked at his godson, a familiar smirk on his face. Draco rolled his eyes, Sev loved showing off his potions, even if it was subtly.
Lucius walked sedately back into the room, followed by an anxious Narcissa.
“How is he?” Lucius asked Draco, as Markins was busily preparing Harry for surgery.
“We’re doing a c-section” Draco murmured, “Once the pain and numbing potions kick in, Markins is going to operate and we’ll have the twins in a few hours” Draco said, still slightly stunned.
Narcissa let out a little squeak of happiness, resisting the urge to clap her hands together in childish glee. She was going to be a grandmother! Lucius reacted similarly, though he didn’t squeak, just beamed happily at his son and son-in-law.
Harry’s green eyes opened as Markins’ woke him, and he looked around, blinking sleepily.
“S’going on?” He mumbled, already a bit blurry from the pain potion being absorbed into his blood by the IV Markins had set up while he was asleep.
“Do you remember how we discussed c-sections in our last meeting Harry?” Markins asked while the family and Severus crowded around Harry’s bed.
“Mhm” The tired brunette mumbled, looking at Draco with confused eyes.
“Well the twins are coming early, and since you’re a male and don’t have the right equipment for giving birth the natural way, we’re going to preform a c-section” Harry’s green eyes lit up in understanding.
“We’ll have the twins today?” He breathed, trying to fight off the last vestiges of sleep.
“Yes” Markins said as Harry beamed, sharing a private look with Draco.
“Now Harry, tell me if you can feel this?” Markins murmured from behind the white sheet set up to shield Harry from the view of his stomach. Draco was seated next to his head, dressed in Healer scrubs, clutching his hand.
“I can’t feel anything” Harry murmured, his tone nervous.
“Okay, you’re going to feel a lot of pressure in a moment Harry, that’s completely normal so you don’t need to worry” Markins said. Harry nodded, unable to reply as his mouth was incredibly dry from excitement and worry.
“And here’s twin number one” Markins murmured, pulling the squirming child free from Harry’s stomach and handing him to the nearest nurse. The woman grabbed the now squalling baby, immediately cleaning him up before wrapping him in a blanket.
“And number two” Markins said, handing off the second twin and beginning to seal up Harry’s stomach. Once everything was clean, the screen was lowered and two nurses walked over holding the twins. Draco’s silver eyes grew huge, staring down at his children in awe.
“This is number one” The nurse murmured, holding up the baby with tiny wisps of blonde hair. His eyes were the typical newborn blue, but Draco hoped they’d take on Harry’s rare shade of green.
“And number two” The second nurse murmured, the second twin was identical to his brother, except he had seemingly thicker hair.

Harry was lying in his hospital bed, half-asleep from the pain potions he had been pumped full of after surgery. The twins were with the nurses being checked over, though despite being on the small side, the twins were declared perfectly healthy.
Finally the nurses re-appeared and Harry was treated with the first view of his children, Draco was seated next to him and the two nurses carefully helped settle the tiny infants in the blonde’s lap.
“Do you have names picked out yet?” The nurse asked, holding out pieces of magical parchment, ready to spell the birth certificates for the newborn Malfoys.
“Yes” Draco murmured, sharing a look with Harry, who nodded tiredly, eyes fixated on the twins.
“The first one is Orion Draco Potter-Malfoy” Draco said, watching the nurse spell the paper before he fit a small, engraved silver bracelet over Orion (Ori’s) wrist. The bracelet was typical in the wizarding world for twins, indicating which one had been born first as well as having multiple protection spells weaved in. The bracelets also grew as the children developed, so they would have them forever.
“And this little guy?” The nurse asked, gesturing at the second twin, who was looking around sleepily.
“Sirius James Potter-Malfoy” Draco said, kissing his son’s downy-soft hair. The nurse nodded, spelling the parchment, “These will be filed with the hospital, and when you’re discharged you’ll have copies given to you” The nurse making the certificates said with a smile.
“Thank you” Harry rasped tiredly, “You can let the others in, I’m sure they’re anxious to meet them” Harry added. The two nurses nodded, heading towards the door, before one turned and added
“Healer Markins will be in shortly to talk to you”
“Thank you” Draco said, carefully positioning Sirius in Harry’s arms so the brunette could hold one of his children. Harry was propped up in bed, held up by multiple pillows, and the baby was cradled carefully against his chest. Harry smiled, carefully lifting the tiny baby in his arms, kissing the fluffy head.
“Ooh” Narcissa squealed as she entered the room, lying her eyes on her grandchildren for the first time.
“Who’s who?” Lucius asked curiously as he approached the new parents, grinning as he saw the bracelets flashing on their wrists. Neither he nor Narcissa knew what names the boys had picked for their sons.
“This one” Draco raised Ori, “Is Orion Draco and the oldest” He grinned as Narcissa beamed. They had named their oldest after her favorite Uncle.
“And this one is Sirius James” Harry said, holding up the second twin. Both Narcissa and Lucius smiled at this, Black names, though Sirius James was obviously named after Harry’s family, honoring both his father and godfather.
“Beautiful” Narcissa murmured, approaching the bed. “May I?” She asked Draco curiously, her eyes wide with hope. Draco grinned, carefully handing Ori to his mother. The blonde women immediately scooped up the baby, beginning to coo over him while he stared up at her with half-closed blue eyes.
Harry watched the desire shining in Lucius’ eyes and grinned, carefully holding up Siri to his grandfather.
“Are you sure?” Lucius asked hesitantly, not wanting to steal the baby from Harry. Harry nodded tiredly, letting Lucius scoop up his grandson. The Malfoy head carefully settled himself in a nearby chair, enraptured with his tiny grandson.
“They’re perfect” Narcissa murmured as Markins entered the room grinning broadly.
HP/DM
Draco stepped out of the floo, carefully holding Harry in his arms as he walked into the Manor. He walked slowly up the stairs, still holding his husband as he headed towards the family room at Malfoy Manor.
Once Harry was settled on the couch in the room, Draco returned downstairs to help his parents and Severus with the twins. It was the first day home since Harry had given birth a week ago and everyone was exceedingly happy to finally have their family all under one roof.
“How’s Harry?” Severus asked as Draco took Sirius from his father while Narcissa continued to hold Orion. Lucius summoned a house elf, ordering it to take the twins’ things upstairs to the nursery.
“Tired, he’s in a bit of pain as well” Draco said, walking into the sitting room where Harry was asleep on the couch.
“When he wakes I’ll give him a pain potion” Severus murmured, pulling the vial from his pocket and setting it on the table.
Draco settled himself next to Harry, settling Siri on his lap and tickling his belly lightly. Narcissa was seated opposite him, cooing at Ori again, and gently rubbing his stomach.
Lucius walked into the room, a happy smile on his face as he looked over his family. He carefully spread a blanket over Harry, settling the twins’ diaper bag on the ground next to Draco.
“The elves have the nursery all set up for your stay” He said settling down next to his wife to admire Ori.
“Good” Draco murmured, “Harry was worried they wouldn’t” He grinned sheepishly, “He was really worried about it”
“I’m sure he was” Lucius murmured, “Narcissa was awful when you were born, paranoid about everything” He winced as his wife gently smacked him, though she moved slowly, clearly not wanting to upset the now sleeping baby on her lap.
“First time parents tend to be a bit more worried about things, and I’m sure with Harry it’s doubly so” She said, smiling at her dozing son-in-law.
Draco nodded, “I was a bit worried too” He admitted, grinning down at Siri who was still awake and looking around. Both twins were dressed in fuzzy sleep suits, though Ori was in green and Siri in blue, Harry refused to dress his twins identically, even though they were identical twins, stating that they were still their own people, and weren’t dolls.
HP/DM
“I can’t believe they’re finally here” Draco said gently as he wrapped Ori in a fresh diaper and fixed his sleep suit, he already had Siri tucked into the crib set up in Draco and Harry’s room, since Harry didn’t want to be separated from the twins, even by a door.
“Me neither” Harry said, sitting up in bed, propped up by pillows. He was still to weak to move around by himself, and was on orders (once again) to take it easy.
Draco carefully settled Ori down in the crib next to his twin and clambered into bed next to his husband. He was ecstatic to have Harry back home, sharing a bed with him again, he had missed him immensely in the week he had been in the hospital. He kissed his husband’s temple, before gently pulling him against his chest and summoning a book. He wasn’t tired just yet, but he knew Harry was, despite the nap he had had earlier.
“Go to sleep love” Draco murmured gently, opening the book he had summoned.
“G’d night Dray, love you” Harry muttered tiredly, pressing his face into Draco’s chest and immediately falling asleep.
“Love you too Harry” Draco said gently, glancing over at the twins, “You as well” He said in the direction towards the twins, a goofy grin on his face as he stared at his children, before returning his attention to his book.
It seemed, for the moment, everything was good, though the a dark cloud that was known as Theodore Nott hanging over his family.
