Chap 27: Trouble

  |April| |2002|

 |Leilani| 

           He had taken me to America. Last time it was Hawaii. He was so loving and now, he was kind. We traveled to New York, Boston, Maryland, North Carolina, California and Texas. I asked Kastor why only them and he said that he always wanted to come to these states. 

After the two weeks away, we had come back home to our children. I was pregnant. A potion to have the baby soon.

"Mum." Little Kastor says, hugging me. 

"Baby, did you have fun with Uncle Draco?" 

"Yes, mummy. He took us to Uncle George in his joke shop. Uncle Draco bought me some toys." Little Kastor said, smiling and showing me his toys. 

"Draco!" I knew he was hiding in the manor. 

"Yes, sister?" He said, watching my son. 

"You bought him toys from Georgie's shop and most of these aren't for children. He could get hurt." 

"I didn't watch him. George did." He saw my face, i wasn't happy. "You were suppose to watch them, Drake." I slapped him across his head. 

"Oi! I'm sorry, alright. Bloody hell, Lani!" 

My son started to cry. "Baby, what's the matter?" He pointed to his mouth. "No, baby, tell mummy what happened?" 

"That toy." It was a punching bag, that Georgie and Ron created. a glove sticking out of the bag. "It punched me, mummy." He was wailing. 

"Shh, it's alright, baby." 

Drake, Harry, Ginny and Hermione went to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, where Ron and Georgie were working. 

"Harry, mate. Gin? Lei? Draco? Love?" Ron said, scared why we were there together. 

"Dear, where's George?" Hermione asked Ron.

"In the back." He went to the back. "George." He followed Ron to us.

"Hi. What's the matter? You're all here."

"Georgie, you gave this to my son." I handed the punching bag toy. He looked confused.

"Lani, I hadn't given this to him. I gave him everything else, not the punching bag. Honest. Ron rang the money up and Draco checked the lot of it before he left."

"So, I honestly came down for nothing. Why didn't you say anything, Drake?" 

"I honestly thought it was a punching bag. Not a hit you in the mouth kind of thing." His arm wraps around me. "I am sorry, Leilani. I should been more careful."

"It's alright, Drake." I kissed his cheek.

~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~

"Leilani, you will not be alone. You have your brothers and your friends. Honestly, you do not need me, love."

"Your children do. I do too." He tried to take off the necklace. "Don't!" I had tears again. "Please! I do not want to lose you again. I love you very much and no one else. You promised we'll be together no matter what. Stay, Kas. Please?"

"I know, love. You must concentrate on what life would be without me." He kissed my forehead.

"My pregnant, Kas. Do you want to see the baby or not?" He nods. "Potion has worked. Baby will here in few days." My belly had grown since we had come back from our honeymoon.

"I do not belong here anymore, love. Without this necklace, I become a corpse again."

"Time to go to Kingsley." I gather Harry and Drake.

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ 

"You had a man tell me that my husband was to never die again and was officially alive forever. Like a vampire. It isn't true, Kingsley. Without the necklace, he turns--" I couldn't hold it in.

Harry held me as I cried.

"Is that the truth, Mr. Spencer?" Kingsley asks, my husband nods. "I hope it's alright if I can see it for a moment."

"Yes, Minister." He carefully took the necklace off. His body started to crumple. Draco quickly put the necklace back on Kastor's neck. "That necklace, I had given to her in First year for Christmas. It was not casted of spells. My mother bought it with me. Nothing else."

"I think that it has lasted magic from love." He turned to Harry. "Find that man, Mr. Smith, he has some explaining to do." Harry nods and kissed my temple. "I need to talk to Leilani. Draco, you and Kastor step out for a few mintues."

Kastor brushed his hand with mine before he leaves Kingsley something office.

"Leilani, I've known of you since your mother went to Dumbledore. This time, it is me you've come to. I believe everything you've all said. He is partly dead, Leilani. He does not belong here. He has to go back."

"Look at me, Kingsley." My belly had grown and I was due in a few days. "He has to stay until this baby is born. And he hadn't said goodbye last time, we never saw what happened. He has to say goodbye this time." I realized what I was saying. "No! I won't let him! He isn't going anywhere." I had cried again.

Kastor and Draco came into the office. Kastor by my side and I lean against his chest. "You stay. No matter anyone else says, you do not leave. Understand?" I whispered for him to hear. My husband nods.

Harry came back with the Smith man. "I hadn't lied. It was what I learned." The man cries. Kastor quickly takes the necklace off and he decomposes around his face. The necklace back on his neck. "That is not suppose to happen. How long has it been, since, he had--"

"Two years, I've been--away." Kastor leaned closer to me and held me tightly. "Is there a reason?"

"Two years effects the body. That is why he turns into a corpse when that necklace is not on him." He looked at the necklace. "You bought it?"

Kastor nods. "When I was eleven. It was a Christmas gift for Leilani in our first year."

"It was effective of their love. How did you know this would work?"

"He didn't. I clasped it around his neck during our second wedding when he started to decom--" Kastor was whispering in my ear. "It is all we need to know that he can stay like this."

"I had told Leilani, that he must not stay here. Kastor does not belong here anymore." Kingsley said.

"As long as that necklace is on his neck, he will not die. If he suggests, to be gone again, he has to take it off. If he stays longer than seven months, the spell of that necklace will wear off."

"Thank you, Mr. Smith." The man left. "Everything settled then?" We nod. "Let's me know if things change."

~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~

"Seven months. I'll stay for that amount of time. After seven months, I must go back. You heard what Kingsley said. I do not belong here." I'm crying again. Bloody hell.

"You can not leave." We stopped in our path out in the garden.

He leaned closer and held my face in his hands. "Listen Leilani, I do not belong here anymore. You've seen what's happened once this necklace is off me. I die again. Seven months with you is all we need together. With our children and the baby, soon to be born." He kissed my lips and my large belly.

"Seven months." A kick happened. It's time. "Dear, the baby's coming!"

After many hours in our bedroom, delivered by Draco, a baby boy was welcomed into the world.

"Severus Alan Prince Spencer" Kastor kissed my temple and watched our son in my arms.

"I love it, Lani. Even after your uncle." My husband told me.

Draco left to gather our friends to see the new baby of Spencer. It was painful and I was bloody screaming a lot. Kastor hadn't mind. Neither did my brother.

He is meant to be a healer?
