Star Crossed Lovers

Chapter 7

Remus immediately ran to the fireplace and flooed Megan. A few seconds later Megan and another woman. Megan, the woman and Remus hurried back into the bedroom. They found Hermione sitting up in bed breathing slowly.

“Hermione, this is Maria. She is going to help. First, let’s get you out of those clothes and change the bed sheets. Remus, you take care of the sheets while Maria and I get Hermione into some clean clothes.” Megan instructed.

Remus pulled out his wand. With a few flicks, the wet sheets and comforter were gone and clean bed covers were now on the bed. Megan and Maria helped Hermione, who was now in a clean nightgown, back into bed.

“Remus, please wait outside. I need to examine her to find out how far she’s dilated.” Megan said.

Remus waited outside in the living room. He was scared for Hermione. She wasn’t due for another month. Ten minutes later Megan came walking out.

“She is dilated to 6 now. I think when she was having those Braxton hicks, it was the real thing. There one more thing. She’s having twins.” Megan explained.

“Twins?” Remus exclaimed.

“Yes. It seems the babies heart beats were beating in sync with each other. The last time I examined her, I swore I heard two heart beats. Within the next hour or two Hermione will be having these children.” Megan said.

“Can I be with her?” Remus asked.

“Yes. Hermione wants you there to help coach her. Come on.” Megan answered with a smile.

Remus and Megan re-entered the room. Hermione was breathing through yet another contraction. Remus hurried to her side and took her hand. Maria moved to help Megan prepare things for the babies.

“Aaahhh! Severus help me.” Hermione cried.

“Sshh. It’s going to be all right Hermione.” Remus whispered.

“Remus, I…ohhhh…I want Severus.” she cried.

“I know Hermione. I know.” he replied as he stroked her hair.

“Hermione, whenever you feel you need to push, go ahead and push.” Maria said gently.

Hermione nodded. For the next hour Hermione cried as a contraction hit and Remus would comfort her. Finally, Hermione was fully dilated and ready to push. She was scared, but knew she had to hang on. She wasn’t going to die in childbirth, just as she had promised Severus.

“Hermione, take a deep breath and hold it for count of ten. While you’re holding your breath I want you to push as hard as you can.” Megan explained.

Hermione nodded. Hermione took a deep breath, held it and began to push.

“AAAHHH!” Hermione cried.

“That’s it Hermione. 5,6,7,8,9, and ten. Now release and breath slowly. Very good.” Megan said with a smile.

“Remus.” Hermione said.

“I’m here. Just breath and relax.” Remus said softly.

“Get ready again Hermione.” Megan said.

Again Hermione held her breath and pushed. This continued for another twenty minutes before the sound of a child echoed throughout the room.

“It’s a boy.” Remus said as Maria showed Hermione.

“Shawn. His name is Shawn.” Hermione said weakly.

“Hermione, the other baby is breech, I have to turn it.” Megan said.

Hermione screamed as her second child was turned into the proper position. Remus held her hand and talked to her gently as her breathing became more ragged.

“Okay, get ready. Now, push!” Megan said.

“AAAAHHHH! SEVERUS!” Hermione cried as she pushed once more.

A few minutes later a second cry echoed in the room.

“A girl.” Megan said happily.

“Sharon.” Hermione said weakly.

“Save your strength Hermione. It’s going to be all right.” Remus said.

“Yes. It…will.” Hermione said before she went limp.

Remus immediately checked her pulse and let out a relieved sigh. She was alive. Megan said she was just exhausted but would be fine. Maria cleaned up Shawn and Sharon while Megan magically healed Hermione. Remus stayed at Hermione’s side while Megan and Maria fed the children and placed them in the nursery. Remus looked out the window and saw the sun was just starting to set.

Back at Hogwarts, Severus could feel something had happened with Hermione. He was just about to write a letter to Remus when Albus and Minerva entered his office.

“Severus, there is an Order meeting. We need to go.” Albus said.

Severus nodded and followed them. Trying to push what he was feeling to the back of his mind. Severus sat beside Sirius and Harry. Once Albus got everyone’s attention, he began to speak.

“Voldemort has made a critical error and the time for the final battle is here. Voldemort has moved to the woods surrounding Hogwarts. He will be attacking tomorrow. Tonight, everyone must prepare themselves. Tomorrow, this will all end one way or another.” Albus said.

Albus continued to run through the final plans for tomorrow before everyone was dismissed. Severus knew it would not be safe to send word to Remus and Hermione now. He knew Albus would be watching him. Minerva on the other hand could. After the meeting she went to her office and quickly wrote a letter and sent it off with her owl.

The sun was just rising when Hermione awoke. She found Remus sitting beside her reading a letter. Hermione cleared her throat to get his attention.

“How are you feeling?” Remus asked.

“Fine. Tired but fine. The children?” she answered.

“They are just fine. I just received this from Minerva. The final battle will take place today.” he answered.

“Just as I predicted.” she said quietly.

“Don’t worry. Severus will be just fine. Minerva won’t let anything happen to Severus. And neither will I.” he replied as he sat beside her and gathered her in his arms.

“Can I see my children?” Hermione asked tearfully.

“Of course. I’ll go get Megan.” Remus answered.

Remus got up, kissed her forehead and left the room. Hermione let a few tears fall. She feared for her husband. She feared that he would never see his children grow up. A few minutes later Remus and Megan entered the room. Shawn was wrapped in the green blanket and Sharon was in the lilac blanket. Megan gently placed the twins into Hermione’s arms and left.

“They are so beautiful. Shawn Augustus and Sharon Marie. My darling babies.” Hermione said tearfully.

“Yes they are. You and Severus sure do make beautiful babies.” Remus said with a smile.

“Have you held one of them yet?” she asked.

“No.” he answered.

“Would you like to? After all they are your god children.” she replied.

“My…you want me to be their god father?” he asked.

“Yes. Severus and I agreed on it that last night we were together. We would be honored for you to become their god father Remus.” she answered.

Remus could only nod. He got to his feet and gently took Sharon into his arms. He felt a warmth settle over his heart. He swore then and there that he would always protect these two children.
