Devotion

Chapter 21

I groaned as I rose back to consciousness. My muscles ached, and it was oddly painful to open my eyes.

Draco's hand was instantly in mine. "Just close your eyes, darling, they're still healing. I'm right here, you're okay."

"The kids?" I asked.

"They're fine. I moved them in with my parents early so I could stay with you," he said, massaging my knuckles. I relaxed.

"And Ron?"

"McGonagall is deciding his punishment. But I gave him the punches he deserved."

I smiled, ignoring the pain it gave me. But then, I fell asleep again.

Once I was out of the hospital wing, our schedules were packed. Classes for seventh/eighth years were done, but we still had so much to do.

The few days we had consisted of getting all our stuff packed, along with making our final memories together at Hogwarts.

But our final day before graduation was the craziest.

It started out perfect, with the sun shining, and yet not too hot. The boys wanted to play Quidditch, so Luna, Pansy, and I sat in the stands to watch.

Luna and Pansy were both heavily pregnant, both of them already exceeding their due dates. I could tell they felt uncomfortable and wanted to go into labor already.

They were both grumpy as we sat there, and I did my best to make them comfortable. But there was only so much I could do, and it was hard to help people who snapped at you every second.

Yet I held my tongue, remembering that it was really their hormones talking.

I was watching Draco perform a flip in the air to block a goal when Luna and Pansy yelped in sync. I scanned the sky, thinking Blaise and Theo might've fell or something, but they were just tossing the Quaffle around.

I turned around to see them both clutching their stomachs. My eyes widened.

"DRACO!" I screeched across the field. By some stroke of luck, he heard me, and immediately flew over.

"They're both going into labor. Get Theo and Blaise," I told him, and his eyes widened as well before he raced off like a bullet to get them.

"Alright you two, just do your breathing exercises, they're on their way. Just think, you'll be mothers soon!" I encouraged.

"Do me a favor Evelyn, and please shut up," Pansy said, right before they both let out another cry at their contractions.

A second later, the boys arrived. Both Blaise and Theo helped their wives onto the brooms, and once they were steady, they quickly but safely flew off to the school.

Draco hopped down next to me, putting his arm around my shoulders as we watched them fly. As the panic of getting them to the hospital wing wore off, I started to laugh.

"What is it?" my husband asked.

"I just find it funny that they're going into labor at the exact same time," I answered.

He smiled. "It's interesting how the world works sometimes. We better get down there, Blaise and Theo are most likely freaking out."

I nodded, and once we were seated on the broom, raced off.
