Chapter 42
Aug 12, 1996
Adrian and Blaise had finally agreed on names for their sons but even with Brecc, George and Draco’s needling they refused to say a word on the matter having decided to keep them a surprise.
Blaise had asked when Adrian’s godfather Chad ended his day at the Ministry and had scheduled his delivery for five thirty in the afternoon on the twelfth of August.
Knowing his mother was for all intents and purposes gone, and with Adrian’s parents not seeming to be involved for a few reasons, the Montagues offer to be honorary grandparents had been a blessing even if they weren’t as fond of Blaise as Adrian, Brecc, George, Draco and Harry were.
Harry had accepted Blaise with as much kindness as Blaise had accepted Harry and that meant a lot.
George’s welcome was mostly because of Brecc and fatherhood had given Adrian and Brecc a new lease on their friendship.
Healer Andromeda Tonks had handed his care off to a Veela healer but had offered to assist which helped Blaise relax.
Healer Apollo Grannis was very jovial and had explained every step of the birthing process when he checked in at noon.
The plan was for Blaise to spend the night and then floo home to the house they’d chosen as a home, which was rechristened Violet Vale due to the plentiful nature of violets at the Pucey manor.
Adrian smiled, “Are you ready?”
“To be a parent? Not really but to have a family? Yes…” Blaise answered honestly.
“The waiting room is filled with well-wishers.” Andromeda said briskly as she entered with Healer Apollo. “The Montagues are here as well as the Malfoy-Potters, Lucius and Emelia.”
“I’m glad.” Adrian smirked, “Then we can tell them they’re godparents.”
“As if they don’t already know.” Blaise chuckled.
Then Adrian was asked to step aside as the two birth healers cast charms to sterilize the room, the bed and of course Blaise’s body.
Adrian was nervous, he knew being bent that Blaise had to have the boys surgically removed but the very idea of his bonded being cut open didn’t sit well with him.
Blaise wasn’t found of blood and did his best not to look down.
He felt a spell cast that numbed his torso; he couldn’t even feel the boys shifting because they’d gotten too big to really move.
Blaise caught Adrian’s eyes; they were worried and excited all at once.
Adrian stayed as close to the door as possible so he could loudly announce he was a father.
A slight feeling of being uncomfortable had Blaise looking down to see Healer Apollo elbows deep into his stomach.
Then he saw a drenched baby being pulled out.
His son…
No their son….
Andromeda took the baby, Blaise watched as they used red string to tie the cord near the baby’s stomach before the cord was cut separating him from his son.
Then Andromeda left and Blaise felt a pang, but the uncomfortable feeling returned and his birth healer was reaching inside him again.
Before the second baby was pulled out, his son was placed on his chest dressed in a clean cloth nappy and silver bodysuit with the Slytherin crest on it as well as being wrapped in a blanket and having an emerald claiming bracelet with the Pucey crest on it locked on his wrist. It was a Flint-Rosier creation that would resize automatically as he grew…
Blaise’s arms came up to cradle his son, leaning down to take in his scent.
The baby looked at him and Blaise felt his heart swell with love and pain.
He could never imagine abandoning this little boy, how could his mother do such a thing?
The baby whimpered slightly and Blaise chuckled, “I know what you want.”
Adrian had gone out to fetch a pump for wizards and had helped stimulate his nipples starting a week ago. So Blaise was confident he could nurse as Harry did…
The whimpering stopped and suckling met his ears, it was not the same as well Adrian sucked on them but it was relaxing.
Then he was handed the baby’s twin who was dressed in a nappy and a similar body suit but it was the Appleby Arrows instead of the silver Slytherin that the elder twin was wearing and more spells were cast while he was distracted that were likely healing him but thanks to the pain potion he didn’t feel anything. The younger twin was wearing a ruby claiming bracelet that had the new crest from the certified pureblood line Zabini-Pucey…
Adrian appeared at his side and bent to kiss him before helping him get the second twin to latch on. “They’re beautiful. You did well.”
Blaise blushed, “I just laid there…”
“We make adorable kids Blaise. I’ll go fetch the others.”
“Two at a time Adrian.” Andromeda said sternly.
“Yes ma’am.” Adrian beamed at her.
Blaise felt so much love he thought he’d break as he held his sons.
Adrian predictably dragged a waddling George and a limping Brecc in first.
Blaise gestured at the first twin who wasn’t feeding anymore, “He needs to be burped I think Nire bihotza.”
Adrian scooped up the infant gingerly and burped him, before using one hand to conjure a chair for Brecc. “Sit.”
His friend blinked but nodded.
Once Brecc had sat and set his cane aside, Adrian knelt and put the babe in his arms. “Meet your godson Abrecan Trajan Pucey. We’re going to call him Abry.”
Brecc was quiet for a few heartbeats before whispering, “Abrecan?”
“Yes you prat.” Adrian laughed.
“Sounds a bit like Brecc.” George observed.
“That was the point. It’s an Anglo-Saxon name because Brecc’s is and Trajan because Puceys like names like that.” Blaise threw in his own two sickles.
“So Abry is the firstborn?” Brecc asked quietly.
“Yes. Don’t ask his brother’s name, we agreed not to mention it before telling his godparents.”
Brecc reached out to squeeze Adrian’s arm, “I’m honoured…thank you…”
Adrian coughed, “It’s tradition you know to have a Montague best friend as a godfather.”
Andromeda then appeared, “I’m going to finish his first exam so I’ll be taking him.”
Brecc reluctantly let her take his godson from him before limping to his feet. “We’ll send Draco and Harry in.”
George beamed at them, “You’ve made him very happy.”
“I know.” Adrian said simply.
Brecc was a quiet thoughtful person who was very self-contained like his parents but he had a good heart beneath his Slytherin mask.
Not long after Brecc and George left, Draco and Harry entered with clasped hands.
“How are you feeling?” Harry asked shyly.
“Still numb but come here.” Blaise said with a chuckle when Draco scurried over.
“Pick him up please? He needs a burp and I’m a bit stiff.” Blaise said with a mock sternness.
Draco with practiced ease conjured a cloth before picking up the baby and burping him gently.
It wasn’t until the baby finally burped that Blaise announced the name, “Meet your godson, Enzo Draconian Zabini-Pucey.”
Draco’s reaction was to clutch the baby tighter, “Draconian?” he stammered.
“Well I couldn’t call him Draconis and talking Adrian into a non-Emperor name took time but if he can name our firstborn for Brecc then I can name our second son after you.” Blaise retorted.
Draco’s eyes were suspiciously wet when they looked at one another. “Thank you…I know I haven’t been that great of a friend.”
“You stayed my friend when I was spending a lot of time with Adrian and you trusted me to be your witness and asked me to be a godparent. It’s the least I could do.” Blaise shrugged.
Draco treated him to an awkward one-armed hug, “We’ll just have to do better from now on, I won’t let you down. I’ll be a wonderful godfather.”
“We’d both be honoured if you two would serve as godparents together.” Adrian said finally speaking up. “Brecc and George have already accepted serving for his brother.”
“What’s his name?” Harry piped up.
“Ask Brecc.” Adrian said cheekily.
Before anyone could say anything, the door to Blaise’s room opened.
“I don’t really care Andromeda what you have to say. I’m going to speak to my son.”
Blaise flinched.
Adrian’s mother was here.
Draco wisely handed Adrian his godson and swept Harry out of the room, “I’ll talk to Brecc then.”
“When mother leaves send Uncle Chad and Aunt Mairsile in.” Adrian said stiffly.
“So you’re a father. How kind of you to inform me that your sons were to be born today.”
Adrian hadn’t done any such thing, he sighed, “With Father’s illness and your work I didn’t want to trouble you.”
“So what have you decided to called the little brats?” Gatria snapped.
Adrian flinched, “These boys are your grandsons mother and I would prefer not to have you call them that. This is my second born Enzo Draconian Zabini-Pucey.”
“Named for the worthless Malfoy boy, why I am not surprised.” His mother spat.
Blaise was furious but he held his tongue.
“Draco is a good friend to Blaise mother and I would like it if you refrained from insulting him.” Adrian said coldly.
“What you call that one matters little, I take it Andromeda has your heir?” Gatria’s voice was even more icy then usual.
“Yes Abrecan Trajan Pucey.”
“Named after Chadwick’s boy, you’re going to insist on following that insipid family tradition and making Brecc his godfather aren’t you?”
“Yes, Brecc’s a good friend and I know he’ll be a great father. He’s been a better friend to me then I have in recent years.”
“Yes since the Zabini boy drugged you with his allure. I would have preferred that you remained friends with Brecc instead.” Gatria hissed.
“Mother while I appreciate your visit, you’re upsetting my bonded and the boys need sleep.” Adrian sniffed.
“Are you throwing me out?” his mother glared.
“If you want me to put it bluntly, yes. I’m sorry if that offends you but I would prefer not to fight you. I would like it if you were in the boys’ life but I would prefer you not insult anyone when you are around them.” Adrian ground out.
“Fine. Let me know when you’re not under Zabini’s influence.” Then she stormed out.
Andromeda had placed Abry in a hospital bassinet beside Blaise’s bed, “If you want me to fetch Chadwick and Mairsile I can unless you need a few minutes.”
“Tell them to come in but let us have a few minutes.”
“I’ll take Enzo with me and I’ll bring them back together.” Andromeda said holding her arms out for the boy.
Adrian reluctantly handed him off before sitting beside Blaise and taking him gently in his arms, “I’m so sorry mio tresoro.”
At the whispered endearment, Blaise broke down and sobbed quietly.
Adrian just held him. He hadn’t expected his mother to show up, likely her elf informed her of the birth. He hadn’t told her to avoid a scene like this but likely he had ended up causing it instead.
Blaise had calmed down when Andromeda returned with Adrian’s godparents and Enzo.
Aunt Mairsile looked worried and Uncle Chad furious.
“What did that wench do to Blaise?” his godfather asked, his voice tight with cold fury.
“She insulted our sons’ names, Blaise and our choice in godparents.” Adrian grumbled.
“I never liked her. I can think of quite a few harsh things to call her but I won’t use them in front of the children.” Chad snarled.
“Hush,” there was something softer about Mairsile, “Are you alright Zabi…I mean Blaise?”
Blaise nodded, “I’ll be okay, I’m used to her not liking me.”
“What are their names? The boys won’t tell us.” Mairsile asked gently.
Adrian gestured at the boy in the bassinet wearing the Slytherin silver bodysuit, “Abrecan Trajan Pucey, Brecc and George’s godson. We’re going to call him Abry.”
Aunt Mairsile looked touched; “You’re naming him after my Brecc?”
“Yes.” Adrian beamed.
“I don’t see what’s so bad about that.” Uncle Chad muttered. “He’s a cute kid.”
“He’s sleepy but you can pick him up Aunt Mairsile.” Adrian offered.
“If that wench is going to behave so horribly I’d be honoured to stand as a grandfather.” Uncle Chad offered.
Blaise sniffed, “Please? My parents are both gone…”
“It’s about time a Montague was grandfather to a Pucey.” Chad said with a smirk that quickly fell. “I know if Tiberius could be here he would, he would be so proud. That nonsense about you and the Goyle girl was all Gatria you know.”
Adrian was slightly surprised but not shocked at the observation, “Either way, with my being bonded with sons it should free Giselle up. Especially with Greg the Head of the Family since their father was arrested. I do feel slightly for the embarrassment they’ll suffer but if they are happy, I’ve got nothing to hold against them.”
Mairsile had picked up Abry and was humming to him in Gaelic; she was Irish after all.
Adrian felt terrible for her that she had only had one child but she had two grandsons already and soon she’d have two blood granddaughters as well not to mention Fred’s daughter since neither of her parents wanted her.
“What’s this one’s name?” Chad asked surprising them by taking the other baby from Andromeda.
“Enzo Draconian Zabini-Pucey.” Blaise said softly.
“A very good name,” Adrian’s godfather observed, “I take it that Draco’s the godfather of this little one?”
Adrian nodded, “We asked him and Harry.”
“They’re good kids, they dote on their Orion and Scorpius. I’m confident that they wouldn’t disappoint.” Mairsile said softly.
Adrian watched his godparents cradling his sons and was grateful that his father had given him Uncle Chad and Aunt Mairsile as family.
Blaise drifted off to sleep after Andromeda pressed potions on him.
Adrian was sad when his godparents left and Aunt Mairsile especially looked reluctant to leave.
“They are precious. You’re a very lucky young man; I’ll do my best to be good to Blaise. I’m sorry I wasn’t kinder before. Thank you for being such a mature Bondmate. You’ll be a good father; and Blaise is very lucky to have you. Take care of them and I’m only a floo call away if you need anything. You’re at Pucey Manor?”
“I renamed it to Violet Vale actually but yes we thought it would be best to not be so close to the Goyles right now.” Adrian said quietly.
Mairsile surprised them by hugging him, “Rest while you can. Do you have everything?”
“Blaise filled some bottles before we came so I’ll prepared. I’ll look after the boys so he can rest and I’ll nap while I can.” Adrian said hugging her back.
“I’ll let the others know you’re resting and I’ll tell them the boys names since Brecc and Draco won’t.” Uncle Chad whispered.
“Thank you both.” Then Adrian gently crawled into bed with Blaise and closed his eyes.
He was a dad…
XooooooX
Aug 12, 1996
While Adrian was packing up the hospital bag that Blaise had packed and repacked numerous times.
When the door opened unexpectedly, the discharge papers were already signed.
Adrian was just waiting for Blaise to finish feeding Abry and Enzo as well as dress.
To Blaise’s irritation he was forbidden to really lift anything for two more days and wasn’t allowed to bathe until tomorrow.
Adrian frowned, “What is the matter?”
Brecc gasped, “Johnson went into labour a few hours ago and Fred finally decided to let the family know. Andromeda said she’s progressing faster now. Shouldn’t be more then two hours…
“How many doors down?” Blaise asked tiredly, still trying to wake up fully from the sleeping draught and deal with the lingering ache from his surgery yesterday.
“Down two doors and across the corridor.” Brecc said briskly.
Adrian and Blaise nodded.
“Do you want me to stay with you?” Adrian asked.
“If its not too much to ask.” Brecc said nervously.
Blaise sat up gingerly, “Give Brecc two of our bottles. Hopefully, Johnson will send them milk at least until George gives birth.”
“Given her innate selfishness I’m not holding my breath.” Brecc said accepting the offered bottles before he turned to head back down the corridor.
Adrian burped both boys before buckling them into the twin carrier that he wore strapped to his body, wrapping a cloak around him to protect them from floo ash. Adrian knelt to let Blaise climb on his back, complete with the hospital bag.
Adrian slipped out of the hospital room and into Andromeda’s office the same way they arrived.
Adrian left Blaise in the care of their doting elves covered with a blanket in the library because it was closer to the bedroom.
Blaise sleepily kissed him, promising to stay up just long enough to eat a little breakfast.
XooooooX
Adrian found Brecc sitting nervously with George, his godbrother’s arm around George’s waist.
Brecc’s knuckles were white where they gripped his cane.
It was less then Brecc said, which meant that Johnson’s body was just as keen to be rid of the infant as Johnson was herself…
Less then two hours after Brecc limped into Blaise’s room in the Maternity/Paternity Ward, Andromeda exited with the babe.
It was wrapped in a lavender blanket and they could see caramel skin and a tuft of auburn hair.
George held out his arms, “Clary…”
Andromeda handed the baby girl to her paternal uncle who rocked her.
“Welcome to the world Clarine…” George held her between his heart and his rounded stomach.
Brecc caressed her cheek, “When can she come home?”
Andromeda nodded, “She’s very healthy, it’s safe to take her. Since you’ve already received custody papers for her, there can’t be any complaint. Breastfeeding is the healthiest for infants but George has yet to give birth.”
“We’ll accept milk from either Blaise or Johnson until George’s comes in, perhaps having Clary will help stimulate his milk.” Brecc said gruffly.
Clary let out a mewling sound not unlike a kitten’s, Brecc fished a bottle out of the bag from Adrian and tapped it with his wand testing it on his forearm with surprising fluidity before handing it to George.
George rocked her gently while giving her a bottle; there was something far gentler about George when he was separated from Fred and away from the pitch.
Brecc pulled out an infant carrier, that wasn’t unlike the one Adrian had carried Abry and Enzo home in he strapped onto George’s chest and secured Clary in it.
Adrian watched at his godbrother exchanged a kiss with his bonded.
“Let’s go home.”
Adrian followed them to Andromeda’s office and the family who had assembled for the birth returned home.
Adrian suspected that Clary’s extended family would drop by just as Aunt Mairsile did…
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
A/n: Abrecan means storm in Anglo-Saxon and also has the benefit in being similar to Brecc. Trajan means unconquered and not available but they they chose it because they wanted a strong name.
Enzo means winner and ruler of the house in Italian, while Draconian was picked because it is pertaining to Draco as opposed to its literal meaning of harsh or severe.
staar - I'm glad you liked Adrian and Blaise's bonding, it was interesting rewriting it from their POV since I already wrote it in I did not. The reason Harry didn't know Draco called him 'kitten' is because he hasn't said it out loud yet.
