Cape of Storms
Chapter 14: Until the ends of the earth
I watched as Lucius and Severus both packed and found myself lost in my excitement at the idea of returning to my quiet cottage on the beach. Severus seemed pleasant enough and surprisingly, so did Lucius. I suppose having a break would do him some good. Not that arguing with me or throwing a tantrum would make the situation any better…but still I had to admit that they were handling it well.
We had decided to stick to safe means of travel, especially with me now quite awkward in my movements. Standing was overtaxing and walking was worse; the idea of flooing, flying or even using a portkey were thoroughly ridicules and apparently my husbands agreed. So it was agreed among us that we would use our trip to my cottage as sightseeing of sorts and oddly enough we had Draco and Blaise ask to accompany us. I couldn't tell whether they were just curious, bored or simply had nothing else to do. I saw no harm in their joining us and I couldn't say I was adverse to the idea, it's not like I had any plans to ravage my husbands or be ravaged.
I love them to pieces but nearly eight months pregnant is not pleasant physically. It's taxing especially on someone of my short stature and although I refuse to complain or fuss…okay fuss overly much… I would rather refrain from any hanky panky. Now after our little one is born, if I am both come out of the room with their members still attached then it will be considered sometime down the road.
It is with these thoughts among others that I climbed into the Ministry's company car with Lucius, Severus, Draco and Blaise; our bags shrunken and in the trunk. We had decided that muggle train followed by another ministry car meeting us at the station would be the quickest and smoothest ride to my…and I quote, “quaint and quite out of the way residence”. Of course he was slapped on the arm for that comment and I muttered something about over indulgence and rich jerks with too much money and very little common sense.
Our ride was filled with talk of the Ministry of Magic and new policies and moved onto new curriculum for Hogwarts and before we all had realized we had arrived at the train station.
I was helped out of the car by Severus while Lucius commanded our Ministry driver to load our luggage onto a cart which a worker for the company made sure to load on the train. We stood and waited for Lucius to finish his list of instructions for the poor young man who had our luggage and then I was sandwiched between my husbands and tailed by Draco and Blaise onto the train. We had a car to ourselves that was richly decorated in shades or red and had soft plush chairs and in the back of the car they even had well made beds. I wasn't surprised that Lucius had spared no expense. I wasn't sure whether I should be annoyed or overjoyed.
Being a pregnant man was not comfortable in the best of company let alone a bunch of strangers; and muggles at that, especially since male pregnancy was something that was shown in movies and written in stories.
I opted for comfort and sat myself down by the window just as the train started moving. The station slowly vanished and soon the scenery out the window went from cities and towns and then to farmland. It was relaxing and reminiscent of my days on the Hogwarts Express. The sound of the train and the movement was enough to lull me into a peaceful slumber. It was as if all other sounds became muted and all that existed were my memories of the past and then they disappeared and I found myself in darkness. Out of the darkness light filtered through and I found myself standing in front of my cottage.
I looked around and saw children playing a small distance away, making sandcastles and splashing in the oncoming waves. I looked down and found myself once again slim and muscular. I heard laughing and giggling and looked back out at the children and it was then that I noted they were all different ages and there looked to be five of them, two boys and three girls.
The oldest was a girl around sixteen with long black curls that waved in the summer air who wore jean shorts and a green tank top that seemed to match the bright grass green color of her eyes. In her arms was a younger girl who looked no older than three, she had what almost looked like blonde hair and pale eyes. Her hair was short and wavy, not quite curly. She wore a yellow onesie covered in outlined ducks.
The two boys looked to be around the same age, although one seemed to dwarf the other in height. If I had to guess I'd say they were close to thirteen. The taller one was pale skinned and blonde haired while the shorter of the two had dark hair that wasn't quite black. Both were too far to see their eyes and yet they're white tees and jeans seemed to glow in the midday sun as they worked on a large sandcastle.
The last child, a young girl around eight or nine sat off to the side; a large book in her hand and glasses on her expressionless face, contentedly reading. She had short wispy blonde hair, cut below her ears.
“Harry!”
I heard Severus' voice calling and turned around looking for him and not finding him anywhere in my line of vision.
“Come little Lion, it is time to wake.”
No sign of Lucius either…I looked around almost panicked in my search for them and as I did so the scene around me vanished and instead I found myself blinking and looking up into the worried faces of the two I had been looking for.
“Have a nice dream,” asked Lucius in a pleasant tone.
I turned and saw Severus standing looking at me worriedly. I blinked and stretched before looking at Lucius again and holding out my hands. He took them and pulled me gently to my feet.
“Awake now,” asked Severus as I stood and walked towards the train exit.
“I believe so.”
“You must tell us what you were dreaming; you seemed most entranced and even fidgeted a few times. Kind of reminded me of a sleeping dog,” said Severus with a grin.
I thought about it and shook my head in an attempt to clear it. I was pretty sure I had just had a foretelling dream. I wasn't sure and I wasn't about to go ask Trawleny. I can hear her now talking about how it was a premonition of death and misfortune. No, I wasn't going to ruin such a happy dream with her nonsense. I looked to my right at Lucius and then to my left at Severus.
“I dreamed about children,” I said as straight to the point as I could make it.
“Children? You aren't carrying twins are you,” asked Severus.
“No, you should know that. You've been there for the ultrasounds. No…these children were all different ages and they all had their own personalities and characteristics, no two looked alike,” I responded as we made our way to another ministry car.
I stopped and inhaled, taking in the scent and taste of the ocean. I could feel the salt in the air and heard waves and gulls and knew I was almost home.
“So you think they were all our children,” asked Lucius in a curious manner.
“I believe they were,” I said as we started walking again. A few feet away from us stood another ministry car which the trunk was open and two gentlemen began to force our luggage into.
“So how many children, you're not gonna compete with the Weasley's are you,” asked Draco coming up to walk in front of us.
No, that's your and Blaise's job, not mine. And there weren't a lot…only five,” I said defensively.
“I suppose five sounds reasonable…,” Severus said; sounding a relieved even to my ears.
I couldn't help grinning, “We could probably have more if you like.”
“No, five is plenty; especially if they are genetic offsets of the three of us. I'm pretty sure the world wouldn't be able to handle more of us,” he responded quickly.
Once again we piled into the car and as it started moving I felt more awake than I had in a while. I watched as familiar houses passed and when we came to the driveway that led to the cottage I was practically bouncing in my seat. The car came to stop and I managed to be the first out of the car which left a few surprised individuals in my wake.
I strode quickly up to my cottage and looked around my yard finding everything is at had been when I had left. I placed my hand on my door and then fished the keys out of my pocket. I unlocked my door and opened it, stepping inside.
I was home…
I could only hope that they would love it as much as I did.
To Be Continued…..
Yay~! No pain and a pretty nice size chapter. Soon we'll have a baby and in the future perhaps more….I have some name ideas but hey, if you have an idea review and leave it.
Til next time~!
