The Malfoy Family

Christmas Surprises

It was finally Christmas and Myra was so excited to tell everyone the gender of hers and James's baby that would be joining that in a matter of four months. Once everyone was gathered in the family room  the madness began as everyone tore into their presents. Once everyone had opened their presents that were under the tree Myra walked over to the closet and brought out five gift boxes. She first handed a box to her father then followed by giving Harry and box, then Leo, Albus, and finally James. Once she told them they could open the boxes there was paper flying everywhere. When Draco help up the shirt there was audible gasp from everyone in the room.

"I AM HAVING A GRANDDAUGHTER!" Draco exclaimed as he ran towards Hermione engulfing her in a loving embrace.

"Well then this might not make my news sound as exciting." Hermione stated in a matter-of-fact tone

"What is it Mom?" Leo questioned

"I am pregnant again with twins"

"Your pregnant?" Draco asked looking at her quizzically

"Yeah"
"I am going to be a father again?"
"Yeah"

"For another set of twins."
"This has been the best christmas I have ever had in my entire life."
"Draco"
"Yes"

"It's twin boys"
"How do you know that"
"Ginny ran a test for me the other day with a spell I created" Myra had not said a word since her mother spilled the news that she too was pregnant. Myra was over joyed to say the least she was finally going to be getting the little sibling she had always wanted. Sure she had hoped that they would be closer to her age but it was still nice to know that her daughter would have family that was close to her age. To say that it came as a surprise to anyone after how much time Draco and Hermione had been spending together was no surprise at all. However Ginny had expected it to happen much sooner than it did. Yet, everyone was over joyed for the couple are there was no question that the babies would be loved unconditionally.

As night fell on Christmas Day Hermione and Draco lied in bed staring at the ceiling talking about baby names.

"What about Hydrus and Ophiuchus meaning the male water snake and the serpent bearer?"

"How about Scorpius Ophiuchus and Edward Hydrus Malfoy?"
"I love those names. Where did Edward come from?"
"Edward Fallon was a close friend from New Orleans who Myra had always viewed as a grandfather and I believe that carrying on his name is a wonderful way to keep him in our lives."
" I love it already. Do you happen to know if Myra and James have a name picked out yet or not?"
"I don't believe they do , but I think Myra mentioned something about having an idea and wanting to surprise everyone with it."

"Alright then. Good night Mi." Draco said turning on his side to face Hermione.

"Good night Drake." Draco peeked a light kiss to Hermione's forehead before allowing sleep to consume him into a blissful nights sleep.
