Erica was fiddling with her sleeves, anxious. She'd sent a letter to Parker a few minutes ago saying it was urgent. That's when she heard a crash in the living room, a cough adding to the sound.

"Thank god." Erica let out a small sighed as she walked through.

"I came as soon as I heard." Parker got up.

"Right. My room. Now." Erica began practically dragging Parker.

"Oh shit- Calm it, I still don't have all my strength back." Parker sighed.

"It is urgent."

"Okay." Parker nodded as she caught up with her feet.

Erica put her head in her hands as she sat on her bed.

"Okay. What's wrong?" Parker crouched down.

"Parker, I.." Erica took in a deep breath,"I... I think I'm pregnant."

"Oh." Parker nodded slowly,"And... Have you taken a test?"

"N-not yet."

"Okay. Do you have any?" Parker rubbed Erica's legs.

"I got one earlier." Erica nodded.

"Tell me your symptoms on why you feel you're pregnant."

"Well, this is the second time I've missed my period and I've been getting these really bad cramps." Erica told her.

Parker nodded slowly,"Well that's okay- Let's get this test."

Erica took it from her bag and headed to the bathroom.

"I'll be right here, okay?" Parker sat outside the door.

"Okay." Erica let out a small sigh.

Parker sighed and leaned against the wall, was Erica really pregnant?

It took a few moments but the door slowly opened, just a crack.

"Hey." Parker smiled,"Are we waiting?"

Erica passed the test to Parker. Parker lifted the test and looked at the result.

"W-well? What is it?" Erica asked slowly.

Parker bit her cheek,"Looks like Estelle will have a cousin."

Erica covered her face, she wasn't sure how to feel.

"Hey, Erica. It's okay." Parker hugged her, "Are you wanting to keep them?"

"Of course I do, I'm just worried about Frank." Erica hugged her back,"He's only just starting to open up to me."

Parker sighed and rubbed Erica's arm,"I'm sure he'll understand."

Erica nodded slowly,"We... Need to go tell them now, don't we?"

"I believe that would be best unless you want them to wonder why you've grown a bump." Parker hummed.

"Right.."

"I'll be there too." Parker assured her.

"Let's go." Erica nodded and walked downstairs.

That's where Frank and Neville were, talking about Quidditch.

"Boys?"

"Hey babe." Neville smiled,"Parker- I assume you came from the fireplace?"

"Yeah... Sorry Nev." Parker hummed.

"Well, it was... Important." Erica told them.

"What's so important to wreck the good carpet?" Frank pointed.

"Well..." Erica looked back at Parker before the boys,"I'm... Pregnant."

Neville just stared at his wife,"You- You're pregnant?"

"Mhm.."

Frank almost... Perked up,"As long as you make it a boy. I'm not dealing with another sister."

Erica chuckled softly,"I don't think that's how that works, bud."

"It better." Frank nodded.

"We're pregnant!" Neville jumped up fron his chair,"You're pregnant- Not us Singular. You have a child."

Erica smiled and hugged Neville.

"How did that happen, oh my god!"

"Do the math, Nev."

"Oh, we had-"

"Dad! No! I don't wanna hear." Frank covered his ears.

"In your head, Nev. Mental maths." Erica sighed.

"Right, sorry." Neville kissed her head.

Erica smiled at the pair of them, "How do you think the girls will feel?"

"Phoenix will... Most likely be calm. Cedar on the other hand.." Frank trailed off.

"You don't think she'll like it?"

"Cedar will go nuts... In a good way though." Frank nodded.

Erica let out a small sigh,"Well, I'll go find them."

"I want to come." Frank stood up.

"You can come." Erica smiled as she walked off to find the girls.

"Oi!" Frank shouted for the girls.

"We're right here." Phoenix looked up from her book, sat in a corner.

"Mum has news." Frank pointed.

"News?" Cedar poked her head out.

"Yes, news." Erica nodded,"You're both going to be big sisters."

"I know." Phoenix flipped the page of her book.

"W-what- You knew?" Erica blinked.

"Mum, no offence but you started eating in large portions, became sick every morning... I'm very observant." Phoenix nodded.

"I know you are, baby." Erica sighed,"Ced?"

"We're gonna be big sisters!" Cedar jumped.

Erica chuckled and held her arms out to Cedar. Cedar ran over and hugged her mum, nodding for Phoenix to join in. Phoenix sighed and walked over, hugging the pair.

"Do I get in on the hug... Or is it like a lady only thing?" Frank bit his cheek.

"You get a hug, Frankie." Erica told him.

Frank smiled softly before he hugged his family.

"I love you all." Erica smiled.

*********************************

"How much longer is longer?" Frank sighed.

"Well Frank, it really depends. There isn't a set time for these things. Sometimes it can be many hours long." Phoenix shrugged.

"I want to meet my brother."

"Well, he's not here yet."

"I'll push him out myself." Frank sighed.

"Maybe... Maybe don't?" Phoenix shook her head.

"Don't you want to meet him?"

"I do but this takes time."

Frank rolled his eyes and leaned back.

Soon enough, a woman walked out in scrubs,"Mr Longbottom?"

"Hi- Yes." Neville sat up quickly.

The doctor smiled,"Congratulations, your wife has given birth to a healthy baby boy."

"Yes!" Frank clapped.

"Frank." Neville sighed,"When can we see them?"

"I believe you can go in and see them now." The doctor held open the door.

"Now be calm, all of you." Neville told his kids.

"Mostly Frank." Phoenix muttered.

"I'm just excited!" He crossed his arms.

Neville hummed as they walked into the hospital room. Erica was laid on a bed, holding a small bundle in her arms.

"Hey flower." Neville smiled.

"Nev, look." Erica whispered.

"We made him." Neville looked at their baby boy.

"We made him." Erica smiled,"Do you want to hold him?"

"Oh- I could drop him."

"Neville."

"Right." Neville stepped forward and gently took him,"Am I holding him right? It's been a while since I held a child."

"Yes Nev, you're holding him right." Erica chuckled softly.

"Okay." Neville let out a nervous sigh.

"Dad, can I hold him now?" Frank asked.

"Fine, but you gotta be careful." Neville warned him.

"I will be." Frank assured him, holding out his arms.

Neville gently passed him over to Frank,"Support his head."

Frank nodded slowly as he took his baby brother.

"He's so cute." Cedar smiled.

"I will protect him forever." Frank told them.

"You have to let us protect him too." Phoenix crossed her arms.

"Hm..." Frank looked like he was considering it,"Maybe."

"Maybe?" Neville gave him a nudge.

"Don't nudge me, I'm holding a baby." Frank looked up at his dad.

"My baby."

"Exactly, you should be more careful."

"Can I hold him now?" Cedar groaned.

"I don't know, you might drop him."

"Frank." Cedar glared at him.

Frank glared back,"Cedar."

"Kids." Erica sighed.

"What are you calling him, mum?" Phoenix looked at her.

"Well, I was thinking about Rowan."

"Rowan is a lovely name." Neville smiled.

Erica smiled as she lay there,"So... Can I go home?"

"Not yet flower." He rubbed her arm.

"But why?" Erica asked.

"Because you've literally... Just given birth." Neville chuckled.

"But... This is a hospital." Erica sighed,"I don't like those."

"I know, but you gotta heal."

Erica looked away.

"I'll see what I can do though, alright?"

Erica nodded,"Can I have my baby now?"

"Frank." Cedar sighed.

"I suppose you can." Frank grumbled.

"Thanks bud." Neville patted his back.

Frank handed Rowan back to Erica who cradled him, gently rocking him.

"He's so small."

"The nurses mentioned that." Erica nodded slowly.

"He's healthy though." He assured her.

"They keep whispering, I don't like it." Erica shook her head.

Neville looked out at the nurses,"Want me to try and figure it out?"

"I don't want any trouble with them." Erica sighed as she held Rowan.

"You won't." He rubbed her arm.

Erica smiled softly, kissing Rowan's forehead,"You told Parker, right?"

"Of course I did- Oh no." Neville covered his mouth.

"What?" Erica asked quickly.

"I didn't send the owl."

Erica sat in silence,"Nev, she's going to kill me."

"You? She'll kill me!"

"Well, that's not my problem." Erica held Rowan closer.

"Can one of you get your cousins?" Neville turned to the kids.

"I'll do it." Phoenix walked out.

"Thanks Phoe."

"Better brace yourself for when they arrive." Erica told them.

"I'll just... Use Rowan as an excuse." Neville shrugged.

"Too late, he's my excuse." Erica shook her head.

"We share him."

"Nev... She's here." Erica looked up.

"Oh no." Neville sat down.

"Where is he?" Parker ran into the room.

"Look Parker, I made a baby." Erica lifted the bundle.

"Oh! Merlin he's adorable." Parker smiled and walked over,"Blaise isn't he cute?"

"He is." Blaise smiled softly.

"His name is Rowan." Erica told her.

"Little Rowan." Parker clapped her hands gently.

"I love him, Parker."

"I love him too." Parker smiled.

"Do you want to hold your godson?" Erica asked her.

"I sure would." Parker's eyes lit up.

Erica gently handed over Rowan.

"Oh he's so small." Parker held him

"Which means he's delicate which means you have to be very careful." Frank crossed his arms.

"Frankie, I know he's delicate." Parker chuckled.

"Mum literally had Estelle." Matteo held up the baby carrier with a sleeping Estelle in it.

"They're going to be best friends!" Cedar smiled.
