Could It Be?

Those next 2 1/2 months flew by very quickly, I was now 7 1/2 months along. Harry and I had gotten married, and were now awaiting the birth of our children. I was getting more and more nervous. Dumbledore had allowed Harry to only go to his morning classes, and spend the afternoons with me.
\" Let\'s go for a walk.\" I told him.
\" Are you sure you should be--\" I cut him off.
\" Please?\" I sighed.
\" Alright.\" He smiled. We walked around the grounds. \" You ok?\"
\" I\'m pregnant not handicapped like everyone thinks.\" I said.
\" I know.\" He said, happily placing a hand on my belly. Madame Pomfrey said that I wasn\'t at a normal weight and size for a mother to be with twins. I was rather small. She hadn\'t done any other checks since the last one, when we found out about the twins. I decided I wanted to make sure they were ok. So when Harry was in class the next morning, I went down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I soon had wished I hadn\'t.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wanted to avoid Harry but, I knew I couldn\'t not tell him. I had to. I had to explain it to him, just as Madame Pomfrey had explained it to me. He came in that afternoon. I\'d already told Hermione, and she hugged me, and left the room as Harry came in.
\" You ok?\" He asked.
\" Baby sit down.\" I said, calmly, already feeling the tears stinging my eyes.
\" What\'s wrong?\" He asked, going to hang up his robes, now only dressed in plain clothes.
\" Damnit, Harry come sit down, it\'s important.\" I said, now letting the tears fall.
\" Lacy, what\'s wrong?\" He asked.
\" I went to see Madame Pomfrey today. I was worried about the babies, and I wanted to make sure they were alright. When I\'d felt the kick, it was only on one side, and I never felt it on the other side...one of them didn\'t make it, that last time around with the Boggart.\" I said, tearing flowing freely. He took me in his arms, and held me tight.
\" I know...\" He said. I looked him.
\" What do you mean you know?\" I asked.
\" That night Madame Pomfrey came in to check on you. She used that machine again, and she told me. She said not to stress you into losing the other one, so I was keeping it to myself.\" He said. I pushed him away.
\" You knew that I\'d lost one of our children and you didn\'t tell me?\" I cried.
\" Lacy--\" I cut him off.
\" I don\'t want to hear it.\" I said, crying. I grabbed my robes and left the room. I ran through the Gryffindor common room, and out the door. Hermione followed. So did Ron. Harry wasn\'t far behind. I turned around to face him. \" How could you?\" I yelled.
\" I knew you wouldn\'t be able to handle it if you got stressed and lost both of them.\" He said, back in the same volume, but calmer.
\" You lied to me...for over 2 months.\" I yelled. \" When were you going to tell me? When I went into labor? Or when--\" He cut me off.
\" I didn\'t know how to tell you.\" He said, louder. \" I couldn\'t watch your heart break. Damnit Lacy I love you...I couldn\'t and didn\'t want to be the one to tell you, and tried to figure out any other way for to find out.\"
\" For the past-- I\'ve thought I was carrying and caring for two children inside me. And no one, not even my husband, could inform me that one of them had--that one of them had--\" I couldn\'t bring myself to say it. I slowly sank down to the floor, crying. Hermione started towards me.
\" They have to do this Hermione.\" Ron told her quietly. Harry came and kneeled down beside me. He went to touch my arm.
\" Don\'t touch me.\" I yelled, softer, crying harder.
\" Let me take you back to our room, get you out of the hallway.\" Harry said. I didn\'t respond. He picked me up. I fought with him, screamed at him to put me down, over and over. Back in our room, he set me down on the bed. Hermione and Ron went back to the common room. \" Calm down...\" He said, quietly.
\" Get away from me.\" I said.
\" Lacy...\" He said, quietly. \" You need to calm down.\"
\" This is all--if I hadn\'t have went up against the--I kil--\" He cut me off.
\" Don\'t you ever say that. You hear me? You did nothing wrong.\" He said. He pulled me in close to him. I didn\'t fight him. I was still furious at him, and I wanted to hate him forever, but I needed him at the moment. I didn\'t want to be alone. I guess eventually I cried myself to sleep. I guess it was early the next morning when I woke up. The sun wasn\'t even up yet. I slipped out of Harry\'s embrace, and went up to the nursery that had been set up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In all nice terms, I was so angry that I destroyed it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry came upstairs, just as I sank to the floor crying. I pulled out of his embrace as he went to help me up.
\" Leave me alone.\" I said, calmly crying. \" I don\'t want you near me.\" Hermione and Ron ran in.
\" What is all the commotion? What hap--\" Hermione stopped. \" Oh God. Ron help Lacy out.\"
\" Come on.\" Ron said, softly, helpping me up. I followed him back to the Gryffindor common room. I heard Hermione yelling at Harry.
\" You need to help her.\" Hermione said.
\" She won\'t let me.\" He replied.
\" She\'s angry. God Harry, you lied to her about her child...did you expect her not to be grief-stricken?\" She asked him. \" She\'s got to stay calm or something could happen to you two\'s other child. She doesn\'t realize that right now...I can\'t even begin to imagine how she feels.\"
\" Sirius wants to come see her, he knows, he wants to help her.\" He said.
\" Maybe.\" She said.
\" Lacy.\" Ron said. I didn\'t say anything. \" Is there anything you need? Want? Anything?\" I shook my head no. Hermione came back into the common room.
\" Lacy...come on, we\'re going back. It\'s safer for you over there, than in here.\" She said. I followed her and Ron. Harry kept his distance from me.
Sirius came in about a week later. Harry and I still weren\'t speaking, and I couldn\'t figure out what to do. He kneeled down in front of me.
\" Lacy?\" He asked. I didn\'t respond. \" Maybe Dumbledore should send her somewhere. She isn\'t safe like this.\"
\" She\'s dealing with the loss of her baby.\" Hermione argued. \" What is up with men? I know Harry loves her, but he should have told her when he found out.\"
\" He was protecting her.\" Sirius said.
\" By lying to her?\" Hermione said. \" Her heart is broken.\"
\" She\'s still got another one to concern herself with.\" He said. Ron and Harry didn\'t say a word.
\" Quit talking about me, like I\'m not in the room.\" I said, listening to them argue back and forth. I looked around at everyone. \" Hermione can I talk to you alone?\"
\" Of course you can.\" She said. \" You heard her. Out.\" Harry and Ron left easily, and Sirius was forced to leave by Harry. \" You ok? Considering?\"
\" Yeah.\" I said. \" Am I wrong?\"
\" Lacy, there are two ways that you can look at this. Your way-Harry lied to you and you\'re a grieving mother, or Harry\'s way- He didn\'t want you to get to a point that your body would discard the other one.\" She said. \" Lacy he was wrong...yeah...but he loves you. He doesn\'t know how to help you right now. But he wants to. He wants to take you in his arms and make all the pain you\'re feeling go away.\" She paused. \" You know if he could he would.\"
\" I know.\" I said, quietly.
\" At least just talk to him. All this stress and tension isn\'t good for you or the baby.\" She said, touching my small swollen belly softly and briefly. I nodded. \" I\'ll go get him.\" She said, then we hugged. She left the room and few minutes later. Harry came in slowly. He sat down next to me.
\" I am so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I would never intentionally hurt--\" I cut him off.
\" I know.\" I said. I didn\'t want to start crying again, and I knew if I started talking I would. So I just snuggled up to Harry and lay against him, letting him hold me. He breathed a sigh of relief.
\" I love you.\" He whispered.
\" I love you.\" I replied back softly. Although I was still really sad about the baby, I had to start moving forward, I had another baby to focus on, and I had the mess to clean up from the nursery. Little did I know that Hermione had already fixed the nursery. She\'d put all the doubled stuff away. She thought it might help.
A few more weeks passed, and Harry and I were doing ok. I was now into my 8th month, and getting scared. Dumbledore had warned us that Voldemort would probably pick sometime soon to try to get to the baby. One evening....


Alright guys I\'m getting close to the end here, I\'ll definately have a sequel...but no one is reviewing my story?!?!?!? Why....is it that bad???
