What is it, Nym?

Chapter 12

Kingsley filled everything, and I was allowed to adopt them. Something which Nym was extremely happy about. We had been talking about it for months. It's been about a week since the twins have been born.

"You OK?"

She looked up at me, she was on the couch and the twins were asleep. I sat next to her, and smiled at her.

"I'm fine. I'm just relieved everything is finally sorted. I know nothing could happen, but you can't be to careful."

I nodded, I knew how worried she was, but now that those were filed, everything was OK. She leaned against me, and I kissed her. She looked up at me, and smiled.

"You feeling OK?"

"I'm OK, just tired. What about you?"

I shrugged. I was tired, but I knew I would be.

"Never mind me, you're the one who's just had twins."

She tried to say something, but the one of the twins started crying. I went into the nursery, realising Nym was following me. Natalia had started crying and that had upset Hope. I picked up Natalia, while Nym picked up Hope.

We eventually calmed them down, and went into our room, carrying them. We sat on the bed, laying them down. Hope's hair turned green and Natlia's turned purple. It would take time for them to be able to control it, but I found it adorable. Nym sat next to me, looking at me. I looked at her, noticing her hair was purple.

"What's the matter?"

She looked at the twins, and back at me.

"Nothing. I just love watching you with them."

I smiled, thinking about what she'd said. I really care about them. I looked at them, and back at her. I was glad that those were filed. I smiled as Hope's hair turned pink. Natalia's hair was currently green, but turned blue. Their eyes constantly changed, Hope's eyes were green and Natalia had one blue and one brown eye. Something I found adorable.

"You're doing it again."

I looked up at Nym, who was looking at me. I knew what she meant, she'd caught me watching them a lot since we'd brought them home. Her hair was pink and she was smiling.

"Hey, I've been waiting months for these two to get here. I'm-"

"I'm only teasing. I know you have, you're a great mum Hermione."

I shook my head, looking down at them. Hope starting getting a little cranky and I picked her up. Nym smiled, watching me.

"I'm nothing special Nym, I-"

"Come on, baby. You know that's not true. You're great with them, and I think this one needs to be changed."

She was right. We'd figured out that certain hair colours had certain meanings. Hope's hair had turned blue, which meant she needed to be changed. I got up, leaving Natalia with Nym. I sorted her out, and walked back in. Nym had Natalia on her lap, and she looked up when I walked in. There was a knock on the door and I put Hope down and went to answer it. It was my mum. She walked in, and I picked up Hope.

"How are you two?"

I shrugged, we were doing OK. I had to go back to work the following day.

"We're fine, mum. I'm back in work tomorrow."

She nodded, and I passed Hope to her. She smiled down at her as her hair turned green. I moved closer to Nym, who had Natalia on her lap.

"Yes, is everything OK with-"
