Chapter 110

Atlas (11 months 2 weeks)
Ivy, Iris, Asher (2 weeks)

Harry's POV

   "Are you both going?" I ask the twins seeing one of them ready.  That's when George steps forward "Well since Asher is only 2 weeks old and incredibly fragile...  I'm staying back with him" He informs me as Fred nods along with the plan.
   "That makes sense... Where is he now?" I ask looking around for him. "He's asleep at the moment," Fred answers with a monotone voice.
  I start laughing, and the two stare at me confused "I swear you two have gotten so serious it's kinda scary" I mutter through laughs clutching my stomach.
"Why thank you Sir Potter" they sing at the same time winking to me.  I roll my eyes but the smile stays on my face.  "Well goodbye then George" I walk over to the couch grabbing my child who is crawling around like a maniac.
"Bye pumpkin" "bye Harry and Atlas," he says his goodbyes kissing Fred on the head.  "hello Asher and Princess" he shouts making his way up the stairs.
"You better not take Asher to see Princess" Fred calls over his shoulder, but I ignore them as Atlas tugs on my collar.  "Pa-pa" he mumbles sitting in my arm.  I look at him and he begins bouncing while pointing to the door "go" he giggles.  "Yup we're going right now" I respond tucking him close to my chest.
   "Ready Fred," I say focusing on Fred again. "Yup I'm ready... I had a really strong urge to just say ready George" he laughs as we make our way to the door.
  Herb opens it for us and Atlas reaches for him.  I let him down and he crawls over to Herb and stands up with Herbs help. "Hug" Herb sighs happily as Atlas hugs him. 
   "Okay Atlas time to go," I say interrupting their little moment.  He turns to me tears in his eyes.  "Baby we have to go... when we get back you can play with Herb all you want" I whisper squatting down.
  His face lights up at the idea and Herb helps him walk over to me. Atlas can say a few words here and there and for walking, he does it fine if somebody is holding his hands.
    Once we let go thought he tumbles to the ground. Herb gives him one last hug before I pull Atlas back into my arms.  "You know Herb you can always hang out with Asher and George" Fred buds in as Herb nods his head shyly.
  You could tell he was definitely going to take the offer though. As he closed the door you could hear his footsteps patter off and we both chuckle to ourselves.  "Do you know what kind of style you want?" I ask looking back to Fred before we get into the carriage.
  He looks to the sky thinking "he's too young to decide what he wants.... so really anything will work" he decides as I make my way into the carriage, him right behind me.
  Fred and I sit across from each other so we both have tons of room plus Atlas likes crawling around the seat. At the moment though Atlas was sitting in my lap facing me. He giggles while he starts blubbering random noises sometimes words.
  He does really well with words the only things he is having trouble with is dada or daddy and it's killing Draco. I for one find it hilarious. Draco will randomly throw his tantrum landing face-first on the floor and Atlas will crawl over to him and lay on his back.  It's his favorite place to sleep weirdly enough.

I step out of the carriage and the first thing that hits me is a long cold gust of wind. Atlas makes some noise before hiding himself in my chest. I wrap my arm around his head to block as much of him as I can from the cold.
"This is the closest shop, so let's go here first," I whisper grabbing Fred by the hand. "Yes sir" he laughs saluting with his free hand. Once we get inside we wander around until we find the premature clothes.
"So I made a list," he says searching his pockets "Woah you actually made a list," I was awestruck at how serious he was about all of this. "Yeah I just need to find it" he mumbles frantically patting himself down.
"There we go that sounds more like you" I add and he lets out a huff of air. "Found it" he shouts emptying his boot. He raises the list before opening it.
"So he needs a jacket, a pacifier, pants, shorts, shirts.... long sleeve and short... uh a hat, and gloves if possible" he reads off his list. "That should be fine," I nod leading him over to a corner of the store "I'm pretty sure we saw the pacifiers over here" I remind him and he nods his head with a small "yeah"

*

"Hey, Harry how about this one" he calls lifting a white pacifier with thin yellow slanted stripes.  "It's cute" I reply looking at him.  "It's different from the others... I like it!  I think George will like it to" he cheers as Atlas starts to reach for some of the other pacifiers.  "Hey you have your own pacifier little prince," I say booping his nose.
  He frowns and I grab the pacifier from my pocket wiping it off and making sure it's clean.  He takes it happily popping it into his mouth.  He's so independent now and I don't like it.  "Stop growing" I whisper bringing him so our foreheads touch.  He giggles almost dropping his pacifier.
    We walked around a bit stopping whenever we saw something that would fit Asher.  "Hey Harry do you think this coat will be warm enough" he shouts. I look for him and he's across the room lifting it.  "Yeah that looks perfect" I shout back and the coat disappears as he brings it back down.

  *

    "Ok, so your child definitely has clothes now" I laugh shrinking the bags down to fit in my pockets as Fred does the same.  We walk past a few stores before I realized where we are.
  "Hey, can we stop in here," I ask pointing to the store in front of us?  "A party store? I mean sure"  he shrugs his shoulders as we walk into the store.  I turn my head from side to side till I see Aspen sitting on the counter.
  Neville was between her legs and they were just laughing and talking.  They hadn't broken eye contact once and you could easily see the love between them.
  "So it is true" I shout startling them.  "Harry" Neville shouts coming to hug me.  I give him a side hug balancing Atlas on my hip.  "Woah Atlas buddy you've gotten so big" he chuckles shaking Atlas's hand.
  By now Aspen had come over and I had hugged her as well.  "Hey babyyyyyyy" she coos tickling his stomach.  He laughs and I take his pacifier away knowing he's going to want to talk.
  "Can you say hi?" I ask, he looks at me before back to them.  He pouts a bit before saying "I" with a super excited expression on his face. We all laugh and I shrug my shoulders "close enough" I whisper kissing his head.
   "Want to hold him," I ask Aspen and she nods her head "of course I do" she cheers taking the baby from my arms. He shouts the word "I" again and Aspen giggles "hi little thing" she responds to him.
  "Well Aspen this is Fred pretty sure you met him at the baby shower," I point to Fred who waves to her "Ello and nice to see you again mate," he cheers also waving to Neville. 
  Neville and Aspen both wave sharing quick introductions and hellos. Aspen sighs and leans into Neville her head resting on his lower chest. "So Draco wasn't being dramatic... he came home shouting about how Willow told him you guys were dating now," I laugh as Neville's face goes red.
He wraps his arms around her as she rolls her eyes "that's Willow for you the most bipolar girl in the world" she laughs. Atlas begins to play with her hair with wide eyes as his hands get lost in all of it.
"You're lucky you have a baby in your arms or I would throw myself at you" Willow threatens her standing from behind the counter. "Woah how long have you been there," Neville asked turning to look at her.
"I've been there the whole time... I was napping my problems away" Willow mumbles with a serious tone and we all start to laugh. "Well, I came here to tell you that the twins have been born" Aspen's eyes light up as well as Willows.
"Their names are Ivy Rose Zabini and Iris Rain Zabini," I sing looking to Fred as he nods his head. "Fred and George also have a son now" I whisper pointing to him so he can take it away.
He quickly explains the story biting his bottom lip to stop himself from crying at certain parts. "Anyways we named him Asher Wren Weasley" He ends the story as they all stare at us with looks of shock or sadness.
"Well, we should come to visit sometime soon to meet them all" Aspen steps in trying to lighten the mood. "I'll owl you," I cheer as she nods her head bouncing Atlas a bit before handing him to me. He sticks his hand out to her saying "I" again and everybody awes.
Aspen turns back to Neville going on her tiptoes to leave a small kiss on his lips. He goes completely red as Willow falls to the floor shaking like a fish out of water.
Out of nowhere a door is kicked open surprising us all "my brother senses are tingling what happened" Rowan shouts broom in his hand as he walks out of the storage closet.
Neville starts to inch away as Rowan stares at Willow "well she's dying again so I assume they kissed.... again" he sighs. By then Neville was up the stairs running past a very confused customer as Rowan began chasing him broom over his head ready to swing.
"I guess we should take our leave now" Fred laughs as I shake my head agreeing. We start to walk to the door leaving an annoyed Aspen as she looked between her brother chasing her boyfriend and her dying sister.
Atlas turns around one last time to wave "I"
