The Quartet Meet Lily And The Marauder's
Chapter Twenty Eight: Baby Chaos.


It was August the thirty first, the day before both Nyah and Laney were due to give birth. Both women were extremely tiered and sore, their backs and swollen ankles felt like they were carrying hundred ton weights.

In short both woman were very grumpy indeed, and couldn't wait for the whole thing to be over. James and Lily had been back from Rome for the past two weeks, married life seemed to suit them well they were happier then most had ever seen them.

Whilst they'd been gone Remus and Sirius had been plotting with Dumbledore and McGonagall. They were planning their future weddings, as soon as Harry, Ron and the others returned to 1997; they would be waiting for them with the great hall decorated for the ceremony on Christmas day.

Both Remus and Sirius had filled Peter and Petunia in on the plan long with James and Lily the day after they had returned. Everyone except Harry and Ron knew what was going to happen the morning after they set foot back in 1997.

It was three thirty in the morning when two separate screams of agony could be heard near by in one of the guest rooms near the hospital wing at Hogwarts. Nyah's water had broken fifteen minutes earlier and Laney's had decided to do the same ten minutes later.

Landon had called through the floo next work to Dumbledore's office, With Dumbledore being Laney's grandfather he had been waiting on stand by in his office, knowing either Laney or Nyah could go into labour at any time now that they were both nine months pregnant. Dumbledore had called for Madam Pomfrey who was in the hospital wing in her office waiting on stand by knowing she would be delivering five babies any time that morning.

Everyone had moved into Hogwarts a few days before Nyah and Laney had been due to give birth. The guys and the girls and been pleased to be back and were even given permission to sleep in the Gryffindor tower in the boys dorms, while Nyah and Laney along with Landon and Daniel were put in rooms closer to the hospital wing. Professor McGonagall promised she would come and get them and take them up to the hospital as soon as both women had finished giving birth.

Ron was pleased he didn't have to be near by to hear the screams of labour; it brought back memories of when he was in the same situation. And the mere thought was enough to make him wince; remembering the agony it was to give birth.

Little did he know that he would in fact be made to endure another repeat performance in less then two years time. And that Harry, Remus and the main person he wished to endure labour would be joining him the next time as well, namely Sirius.

Eight hours and fifty five minutes later Both Nyah and Laney were getting ready to push. Poppy was dealing with Laney's twins, Poppy had called in Madam Regina Rosenberg to deliver Nyah's triplets.

Madam Pomfrey said encouragingly to Laney "Come Laney push down as hard as you can one of your babies is already starting to crown." Madam Rosenberg instructed Nyah to push down hard, as one of the three babies heads started to crown.

Both Nyah and Laney pushed down hard screaming bloody murder for the next five minutes, until each had one baby out as far as their shoulders.

They continued to push down with encouragement from both Madam’s Pomfrey and Rosenberg. After another few moments each had a baby free. Nyah's first was a little girl who was a spitting image of herself, with her fiery red hair and Landon's hazel eyes . Laney had a boy with Daniel's blond hair and her green eyes. Landon cut the cord with a wave of his hand, while Daniel was handed a pair of scissors to cut through the cord.

This continued for the ten minutes, Laney pushed down hard, screaming in agony until she was practically heard half way across the castle. She gave two more hard pushes and finally gave birth to her new son’s twin, who also happened to be another boy. Daniel cut the second and final cord with the scissors Poppy had re-handed to him.

He had Laney's fiery red hair and Daniel's hazel eyes. Both boys had her features, nose and mouth, but had Daniel's ears. Laney was finally able to finish of with one last push and dislodge the placenta. With that finally over and done with she was able to get her wits about her and received much appreciated thanks and affection from an overwhelmed Daniel.

Madam Pomfrey and professor McGonagall worked together to clean both babies of blood and the after birth. While Dumbledore comforted the new and clean baby female Potter.

Nyah was still busy pushing her second baby out, she screamed loudly and continued to bear down for another five minutes, stopping for breathers in between pants. After another hard push and ear splitting scream Nyah gave birth to the second of three babies in total. Landon did the honours and served the second of three cords.

Nyah fell back on the bed and continued to panting in agony, two down one more to go. The second of the triplets was a boy with a head of the famous messy jet black Potter hair, and his mothers hazel brown eyes. He was a spitting image of James when he had been just born, he looked like all Potter males did.

Nyah pushed down again after her son had been taken by Madam Pomfrey to be cleaned up, while Laney and Daniel held their new baby twin sons. They winced in sympathy as poor Nyah was still in labour and still had one more to push out.

Laney was grateful she had only twins, if she had still been in labour she had no idea how she would have been able to cope with that, nine hours and twenty minutes of labour was more then another for her. It looked like Nyah was going for the nine and a half hours mark.

Nyah screamed "LANDON POTTER WHY ON EARTH DID YOU HAVE TO GO AND GET ME PREGANAT THREE TIMES IN ONE GO, YOU EVIL SON OF A BITCH?" Landon cringed at the hissing and pissed off tone of his wife.

Nyah howled as she leaned forward and pushed down until she thought she might split in two. Two harder mind boggling pushes later the fifth hiccupping cry was heard that late morning. The final Potter triplet to be born was another little girl, who was identical to her other sister, in every way, as she had her mothers fiery red hair and her daddies hazel green eyes.

With a final wave of his hand Landon cut the third and final cord, freeing the little girl from her mother. Minerva took the new born and youngest of the triplets to get cleaned up while Nyah pushed down one last time and dislodged the placenta ending her labour.

Madam Rosenberg had then gone and washed up along with Madam Pomfrey, while Minerva passed the little boy to Nyah and the one of the little girls to Landon. Dumbledore came out of the cleaning area and walked up to them carrying the oldest of the triplets. His eyes were twinkling happily as he passed the third triplet in Landon's arms on his left hand side as his other daughter all ready occupied his right.

Dumbledore asked Minerva to go and get the others so they could see all five new born. While she was gone Laney’s and Nyah's curtains around their beds had been closed while they had been cleaned up and helped into clean night ware and sheets and blankets. Twenty minutes later the others all entered the hospital wing followed by Minerva.

James and Lily looked on in awe when they saw their tiny brothers in Lily's case and brother and sisters in James's case. Ron smiled sadly, he looked deeply depressed, and he missed his own children back home so much it was practically killing him.

Harry noticed the pain filled expression on his best friends face, he shared knowing and saddened looks with Hermione and Ginny. Poor Ron, neither of them couldn’t begin to imagine what Ron must have been feeling and also thinking right then.

Once Dumbledore had conjured chairs around both beds for everyone to sit on, they all sat and took in the three basins around Nyah's bed and the two besides Laney's bed. Landon passed James his baby brother, James smiled softly down at the little boy that resembled both him and Harry, with his dark messy head of jet black hair.

James nearly melted in awe when little fingers gripped his own much larger ones, with a surprisingly good grip for such a little guy. James asked "So what are you going to call this little guy?" Nyah smiled and revealed "James I would like to introduce to you your new baby brother, Christian Caylum Potter."

James grinned and asked "Christian hey, this little guys name sake wouldn't happen to go by the last name of Black would he?" Landon grinned and replied with a small chuckle "Naturally, he has been named after a very fine wizard."

Sirius gaped at Landon and asked "Why would you want to give such a cute little guy like that such name sake?" Nyah answered "Because Christian is such a pretty name, and I happened to be extremely fond of his name sake, who also happens to be my son."

Sirius was clearly stunned and stared at both Nyah and Landon unblinkingly, before saying "Thank you, you'll never quite know how much that means to me."

Nyah and Landon had officially and legally adopted Sirius merely a few months into his sixth year after he had permanently moved into Potter manor. James and Sirius loved being adoptive brothers as well as best friends. James passed Christian to his name sake, while Landon passed one of the little girls to James and the other much to Harry's surprise straight in to his own arms.

Lily and Petunia were currently cradling their baby brothers. Peter was standing over Petunia's shoulder, gently running a finger down the baby’s soft cheek. Landon commented "Harry you currently hold Lucia Nyah Potter. And James you've got Cordelia Cammey Potter."

Hermione asked "How exactly can you tell the girls a part they appear to be identical?" Nyah smiled at the ever clever and observant Hermione and replied "Yes Hermione they are identical apart from Cordelia having Landon's nose. That is how we tell them apart, the difference is rather noticeable."

Landon chuckled "You'll definite won't have any trouble telling those set of twins apart will you?" he said gesturing to the little baby boys Remus and Hermione were currently holding. Laney and Daniel both chuckled knowing it was true much to their relief.

Laney said "Yes indeed it will be easy to tell the new Evans's apart. Justin Luke Evans is blond and has my green eyes and his currently being held by Hermione."

And Daniel added "And his twin Stephen Benjamin Evans who is being held by Remus has his mummy’s fiery red hair, and will most likely have her temper as well later on. He has my hazel eyes. Apart from that they are identical in every other way, only their hair and eyes are what enables you to tell them apart."

Ron smiled sadly and said "Thankfully Harry and Amelia are the opposite gender or else we'd never tell them apart, as they have identical black hair and features like their father, and they have my light blue eyes, nose and mouth."

Nyah and Laney looked at each other and shared knowing and guilty looks. Nyah and Laney smiled gently and sympathetically at Ron knowing he must miss his own children terribly.

Nyah comment "It really must be agony for you being away from your children, especially considering they're not even a year old yet."

Ron swallowed hard and replied "Back in my own time line they will be four months old, but here their already a year and three months old. I miss them so desperately, every time I look at Sirius it's if I can see my children every time I take a good look at his hair or facial features." Sirius smiled at Ron sadly and put a comforting hand on his back.
