SIMple Reflections of Life

Draco moved past the study and frowned, seeing Harry seated at that stupid computer again. "Bloody hell, Harry. You aren\'t still playing on that loony contraption, are you?"



Harry looked up and shrugged innocently, grinning. "It just sort of pulls you in. It\'s a break from reality and its fun."



"You need to show me how to use that blasted muggle toy." Draco grumbled, moving up behind him. It was another view of the mansion that had been created for their characters, with SimHarry kneeling in front of SimDraco, rubbing his tummy and talking absolute nonsense to the huge bulge of his belly. "What the bloody hell?"



"I\'m… well, he\'s talking to the baby."



"Talking to an unborn baby? Is that something Muggles commonly do?" Draco asked doubtfully. It sounded rather daft to him.



Harry smiled softly. "Sure; it makes them both happy…"



"So why aren\'t you fat?" he demanded.



"Why would my Sim be fat?"



"You said you were pregnant." Draco reminded. "You should be fat too!" he pouted.



"That\'ll happen in time; look. He already has a little belly." Harry pointed out.



Draco watched a moment, and then SimDraco began to wail and cry in clear pain, wrapping both hands around his swollen stomach. SimHarry began to scream and yell as well, clearly in pure panic mode, grabbing his face and screaming along with SimDraco and jumping up and down. "What the bloody hell? Is he having a fit? And why are you doing that insane dance and screaming like an escapee from the loony bin…?"



"Oh hell; you\'re having your baby." Harry answered, watching the screen as the birth sequence began to play.



"Shouldn\'t he be in the hospital? He can\'t give birth in a home! He\'s a

wizard!" Draco protested.



"It\'s a GAME, Draco…" Harry smirked.



"So what?!"



"So he won\'t die in childbirth. I promise." he assured him.



"He\'s yelling like he\'s about to die! Look at him!"



"Just wait, would you? Wait and watch." Harry smirked, watching the video began to play. The camera moved upwards and showed the green diamond-shaped thing above the character\'s head (the plumbob), then a little door opened and a tiny plumbob came out, swirling about the bigger one. After a moment a baby appeared out of a green cloud, sparkling and flying about the SimDraco character as he cringed away from it.



"Why is it green? Look, it\'s leaving a vapor trail! Does it need a new diaper already?!" Draco asked in clear distaste.



Harry laughed but didn\'t answer as the baby landed in a horrified SimDraco\'s arms. The blonde on the screen held the child at arm\'s length a moment, then the camera zoomed in to show a baby with Draco\'s features and Harry\'s dark hair. The baby cooed and SimDraco reconsidered, now cuddling the baby close with a smile.



"Well I suppose it is cute enough." Draco frowned. SimDraco put the baby down and began to wail again, clutching his stomach. "See?! I told you, he\'s hemorrhaging! He\'s dying! Get him to the bloody hospital!"



"He\'s not dying, Dray, I swear!" Harry laughed. "I really didn\'t see that coming…"



"See what coming? Oh, bloody hell; don\'t tell me it\'s another baby?"



"Sure is; aw, how sweet, our Sims had twins; a boy and a girl" Harry chortled.



"That bloody well figures, Potter." Draco drawled as the second baby drifted down into SimDraco\'s arms; the child was pale with blonde hair and bright green eyes. SimHarry had picked up the second baby and was cooing and cuddling the child. "You go and get me pregnant and I\'ll have stretch marks the rest of my life because I was bloody well carrying twins." he snarked. "Okay, so now what?" Draco asked.



"What else? We raise them now."



"Are you going to be any help at all?" Draco demanded.



That confused Harry. "What?"



"You went and got yourself abducted by aliens when I was pregnant… you surely weren\'t any help then!" Draco accused.



Harry began to laugh though he was trying to stifle it. He didn\'t want to offend Draco. "That wasn\'t by choice."



"Doesn\'t matter! Off stargazing when you should be tending to my every need! You need to learn how to take care of a Malfoy!"



"I won\'t stargaze when you get pregnant again, I promise." Harry chortled.



"What do you mean? Malfoys only have to have ONE pregnancy! I have my heir right there!" Draco pointed at the baby boy.



"But Woo-Hooing is so much fun." Harry smirked.



"It might be but I don\'t have to get pregnant every time!"
