"Draco look." Hermione smiles. "We have two metamorphmaguses." Draco walks over to Hermione and kisses her lightly.
"Yes we do."
"That's very unexpected." Hermione says Draco nods as a reply.
"Honey, let's get something to eat."

"I'm incredibly tired." Hermione complains.
"Yeah I know, but you have to eat something."
"Draco I just give birth to two babies, let me sleep."
"I want you to eat too."
"Come on." Hermione sighs stubbornly."If you go to bed, I'll get food for you and come upstairs then."
"Thank you, I love youuu."

Draco kisses Hermione and leaves her in the room with the twins. She watches Deam in her bed. She shakes her head.
"You don't want to sleep here, do you?" she laughs. She takes both Deam and Helga with to hers and Draco's room. Hermione lies down on their bed together with the two of them and closes her eyes.

When Draco, five minutes later, comes up to the bedroom, Hermione has fallen asleep with Helga resting on Hermione's stomach and Deam in her arms. Draco places the tray with two sandwiches and two cups of tea on a nightstand.
"Granger." he whispers. "You should eat first."
"Mhmm." she mumbles. "Take Helga and Deam and I'll sit up."

Draco removes the two of them from Hermione so that she can sit up, then he gives one of them back to her. He gives Hermione a sandwich and a cup of tea. They eat in silence and when Draco goes down with the dishes, Hermione falls asleep immediately again.

The next afternoon Hermione is still in bed, she has only woken up a couple of times but not left the bed yet. Daphne, Pansy, Theodore and Blaise comes over around two o'clock and Draco lets them in.
"Where's Hermione?" is the first thing Daphne asks.

"And the kids." Pansy adds.
"Hermione has slept for hours, she's still upstairs- But hey! What are you even doing here? It's not Sunday, is it?"
"No, but we wanted to meet your babies obviously." sighs Blaise, referring to Daphne and Pansy.

"They're with Hermione, I can...."
"I'll get them." Daphne exclaims and runs up the stairs.
"Oh my God." Draco sighs. Hermione is half asleep when Daphne knocks on the door and enters the bedroom.
"Hermione." she whispers. She sits on the bed next to Hermione and the twins.

Daphne lifts Deam up into her arms and the child's hair turns light purple. Daphne screams surprised so that she wakes Hermione completely.
"What are you doing...?" she mumbles. "Draco leave me alone." Hermione opens her eyes and meets Daphne instead of Draco, whom she had expected

"Hermione she's a metamorphmagus!" she tells her.
"I know Daph, both of them are." Hermione laughs.
"Oh my god! But so, how are you?"
"Tired, but otherwise I'm feeling better than I thought I would. Is it just you here?"
"No, the others too."

"Oh, I'll get changed and come downstairs in a minute. You can bring Deam with you."
"Deam?"
"Deam and Helga, you're holding Deam"
"Oh, yeah obviously that's what you meant. But yeah sure." Daphne smiles and leaves the room with Deam. Hermione laughs a little to herself at Daphne. She gets changed and goes downstairs with Helga. She meets the others in the dining room.

"Ohhh look!" Pansy shouts, runs up to Hermione and lifts Helga up.
"Hi you. Hello Helga, hi." she smiles.
"Careful, and hold one hand behind her head." Hermione says. Draco walks up to her.
"How are you?"
"Fine honestly, perhaps a bit tired but happy. Very happy."

"Do you want something to eat? Granger, sit down, you look like you're about to faint."
"Hermione, Draco is right. Sit down." Theodore says. From Hermione's angle everything has gotten blurry and the room seems to be spinning. Pansy gives Helga to Blaise and forces Hermione down on a chair.
"Theo, get a glass of water." Pansy orders.

Theo hurries off to the kitchen.
"Hermione. How many fingers am I holding up?" Draco tries, holding up three fingers. Hermione shakes her head.
"I don't know." she hisses. "It's blurry and very is spinning and shaking and ...."

Theo comes with a glass of water and Hermione takes it. She takes a sip and gives back the glass
"Granger!" Draco exclaims, seeing that she's zooming out. "Granger, how are you?" Hermione coughs.

"Who has Helga and Deam?" she wonders.
"No, Granger they're right here. They're fine." Blaise says.
"I think I will vomit." Hermione mumbles and her face has turned pale.
