It was now March and I was huge. I had to be wheeled about and it wasn't funny. It was a few months before the final task and I was tired all the time. I slept most of the days away. Tessa was around more often to keep a eye on me.
"Ouch" I whined Tessa came running in
"What's wrong."
"I hurt, really bad." I complained and she performed test
"Oh my medicine. It's time." she told me
"Time? Time for what?" I asked
"You, my dear are going into labour" she told me
"what!" I sat u right which wasn't much because the huge stomach I possess
"Calm down. We have everything in place, would you like Cedric to be here?"
"Yes, please" She rested me back down and everything was set in motion. I was taken to a private room where I was laid down, Tessa told me that I wasn't ready to give birth yet and it would be ages before I did. I still had to go through pain though. I laid on my side holding a pillow when Cedric busted in.
"I heard the news are you okay? What's happening?"
"Relax, to be honest you could have walked here. I'm just in the early stages"
"I'm sorry to say that's not entirely true" Tessa came in
"I've been going through your examinations and I've just only come to the conclusion that you won't be able to give birth naturally. Not without putting your life and that of your children in serious danger. "
"Then what will happen?" Cedric asked
"we'll perform a simple procedure, like the Muggles do. They call it a caesarean. We'll make a small insertion at the bottom of your stomach. And take your children out one by one. Easy and painless. We shall put a charm on you to remove any pain so you won't feel a thing."
"Won't i have a scar at the end of it?" I asked
"Yes but in time it will face away. We'll even remove the baby fat that in muggle women would take a while to remove. So by the time for the third task you'll be up and walking in your pre pregnancy clothes." she smiled and I looked at Cedric
"Okay" I squeaked the performed a charm and ready me. Cedric sat behind me as More medi witches arrived.
"Okay making the small cut.... now. " Like Tessa said I felt nothing, and there was a veil which blurred everything that was happening below my stomach.
"Oh I see the first, three...two...one." there was little wails as our first took their breath
"Congratulations, it's a boy" I looked up to Cedric who was becoming very teary
"Next one, in five...four....three....two....one" more screams erupted
"Another boy."
"What, I want a girl. I whined and they laughed I looked up at Cedric.
"I will be majorly annoyed at you if I do not have a girl"
"Why me"
"You got me in this mess" he went to say something but I heard more screams.
"You have your girl" Tessa smiled
"Yay!"
"Okay, I'm just going to remove about 50% of the cushioning you've gathered and sew you back up."
"Cedric, how do they look?" I wondered and he went to look at them I saw him smiling
"Perfect, just perfect Pippa." After 10 minutes I was sat up and allowed to see my babies.
"Hi" I held them one by one
"What are we going to call you? Humm" I messed with his fingers and he looked up, he had his father's eyes that glowed with kindness.
"Please can we call him after me?" Cedric asked holding our other two.
"Why?"
"Because..." I laughed
"Wow way to convince me." I looked towards him and he had a pleading look "Fine, but I will be calling him Junior or CJ." He grinned "And I get to name our second son, we can both decide on our little girls name."
"What will this little one be called then." I thought then smiled
"Harry!" I chirped
"You want to name our second son after your best friend."
"No my adopted brother! Besides he likes it look" Harry was reaching out and opened his eyes.
"Remind me why I love you?"
"You're holding two of them" I grinned back we had Junior and Harry s we had to decided a name on our little girl. It took us ages to find one we both liked.
"How about Elena Diggory." i suggested
"Yeah, I like it" We had put CJ and Harry down to rest so I was just holding Ella
"Hello, Elena" played with her fingers and yawned
"You need some sleep. Here" he took Elena off me and I moved down as my eyes were closing
"I love you" he whispered before I slipped into darkness.

When I woke up my room was filled with flowers and presents. Ron, 'Mione and Harry were each holding one.
"You're awake"
"Yeah." one by one they started crying and I knew that they were hungry.
"We'll wait outside" I fed each of them before my three 'adoptive' sibling came back in.
"They look beautiful Pippa" 'Mione smiled
"Thank you"
"So, um what have you named them" I grinned at Cedric.
"We name our eldest Cedric Junior" Ron snorted "I know, but he was insistent" I pointed to Ced.
"Well tell them what you named our second then." I looked at Harry and smiled
"Harry"
"yes?" he asked and i laughed
"No, I named him Harry." He looked gobsmacked as Hermione awed.
"why?"
"Because you've been there since the beginning. And whether we're related or not you're my brother. So I wanted it to mean something. Besides I think he's going to be just like his Uncle and it was better than Ronald"
"Hey!" Ron exclaimed and we laughed
"What's her name" 'Mione wondered looking over Elena.
"Elena. After Helena Ravenclaw"
"That's sweet"
"We also wanted to ask you something. I've been talking with Ced and we were discussing god parents. I made the standing argument that none of his friends should be considered given the way they treated me while I was pregnant. So after that discussion we wanted to ask you to be a god parent to one of them. Ron and CJ, Harry and Harry, 'Mione and Elena. There would be others but.."
"Of course" the chimed and I smiled
"Great" I chirped and we continued talking.
