“I love that I can actually drink for once” Astor beamed enthusiastically waving a champagne glass.

“Keep waving that, and it’ll be all over the floor” Draco smiled amused. As they leaned against a cocktail table in the hotel ballroom. “So do the Muggles realise they’re having a wedding for two men?”

“They think it’s a civil partnership” Astor explained. “I’m going to have another champagne” he explained skulling the remainder.

“I’ll be here” Draco smiled.

“Are you going to stop him?” Will asked as he joined Draco at the table.

“Finally been dragged away from the dance floor?” Draco smirked.

“Well Daphne hasn’t had a proper night out in a while” Will admitted honestly. “Not since little William arrived anyhow.”

“I think this is the first time Astor has been able to relax” Draco smiled. “He looks great in a suit. His wonderful curves.”

Will chuckled. “Daphne is taking notes for ours.”

“She’ll have to fight Audra on that” Draco grinned.

Will laughed, “And my Mum for that matter. She’s never had a daughter. It’s already been a lot of butting heads.”

“Will come on” Daphne said draping her arms around him.

“I’m not a dancer Daphe. I just want to relax and have a few beers” He admitted.

“Fine” Daphne huffed as she kissed his cheek and rubbed his belly. “Your going to be very bloated.”

“I like beer” Will said blushing.

Draco grinned with amusement, suddenly hands were on his belly. “Have I ever said how hot you are now your fat. I just get so fucking hard seeing your belly wobble” Astor said clearly trying to be seductive mildly unaware that he was intoxicated. “I wish there was like proper food to fill you with.”

Will grinned unable to keep a straight face.

“How many have you had?” Draco frowned trying to peel Astor off him.

“Daniel made me do tequila shots” Astor grinned. His hands squeezing and kneeding Draco’s belly.

Draco sighed and forced Astor to drink some water. “Come on, you know your going to hate yourself tomorrow if your hungover.”

Astor pouted but drank the water. “Fine. Can we fuck though” he asked sweetly.

“I don’t have any protection potions” Draco commented. “And your drunk.”

Astor whined but cuddled against Draco’s belly, his fingers undoing the shirt buttons and squeezing Draco’s tummy. “Your so fat lately. So big and we never get alone time.”

“We have three kids Astor” Draco chuckled not minding his belly being rubbed.

“I know. They made me fat” Astor pouted.

“Why don’t we make our goodbyes. No more bridesmaid duties?” He asked.

“All done” Astor beamed.

“Well. We do have a hotel room to ourselves” Draco suggested.

“I love you so much Dray” Astor pressing his face into Draco’s chest.

“Alright, Alright” Draco chuckled enjoying his husbands infatuation.

Astor woke up in bed his head felt foggy and he just felt exhausted. The bed felt so comfy and yet completely wrong. He felt Draco’s warm body beside him and felt a half limp cock pressing against him.

Astor couldn’t help but smile, it had been years since he’d woken up naked.

The shirt fell down and noticed the dried remains of cum over his belly. Cautiously he looked around mildly relieved there’s no third person in the room. Draco stirred beside him groaning.

“Is this my cum I’m covered in or yours” Astor muttered.

“Yours. Mine was inside you” Draco said rolling onto his back. “Dray. Harder, please I feel so empty. Make me full. I need it all” Draco said moaning airily in an impression of Astor.

“Mean” Astor pouted and prodded his belly roughly.

“Come here” Draco grinned stretching his arm out. Astor smiled and cuddled beside him. His hand reached across Draco’s belly feeling it’s warmth, it’s size. “How’s the hangover.”

“I’m not that old” Astor commented.

“Your twenty seven. I wouldn’t say young either” Draco commented.

“I’m the mother of your children. And you’ve got a receding hairline” Astor huffed. Draco hugged Astor closer before he could pull away. “Oh well if that’s the case. I ought to put you to work.”

“What aren’t three boys enough” Astor admitted, not sounding quite sure.

“You wanted a huge family” Draco reminded him. “Perhaps I meant in width” Astor suggested prodding Draco’s belly. “And I would definitely remember saying that.”

“Well the twins are a year old now and Scorpius is two. I think we could handle an extra one” Draco suggested.

Astor smiled, “okay, let start trying” he agreed.

Draco smiled and rolled over, “Mhmm good” he said as he began to kiss Astor. Pressing his weight against Astor. “How’s that?”

“Feels good” Astor moaned approvingly. Enjoying how Draco’s belly forced him down.

An hour later they made it down to breakfast. Daniel and Edgar were already down there, smiling as Edgar inhaled an impressive amount of food. Daniel’s parents were there, they had opinions and Astor could tell they weren’t fully won over by Edgar. But they had largely and perhaps wisely kept their opinions to themselves after Daniel had a big fight with their parents after seventh year and gotten a double mastectomy. After that they just sort of kept their mouth shut.

“Morning you two” Daniel grinned smirking. “Hungover?”

“Ehhh. I’ll be fine after food” Astor replied sitting down. “How was your evening?” He winked.

Edgar choked on a mouthful. “Their parents are right there” he said shooting a horrified look at Astor.

“Our night was fine” Daniel smiled, looking over at his parents. “And I’ll tell you the details later.”

Edgar groaned and shoved another mouthful into his mouth.

“Here you go love” Draco smiled as he placed a plate down infront of Astor.

“Thanks” he smiled at Draco, who sat beside him.

(Finish scene?)

“So are you planning to diet for the wedding?”

It took Astor a long second to realise he was being spoken too.

“Honey” Audra said looking at him with an expression he couldn’t quite figure out.

“Hmm? Oh probably not” Astor said to Will’s mother.

Will’s mother Shannon was fit, she had absolutely had work done. And Astor assumed she had a litany of creams. She had brown hair, that had to be dyed, and she always wore acrylic nails that looked impractical to do basically anything. She was also a bitch, thankfully Will wasn’t unaware of this and was largely embarrassed by her. “Really? You are looking a bit fat? and compared to Will’s brothers”

“Brave” Tracey muttered under her breath.

Astor raised an eyebrow. “It isn’t high up on my list of priorities” he offered diplomatically.

“Perhaps it should be. It wouldn’t be good for the photos. I’ll talk to Daphne” She said with the kind of smile that gave him flashbacks to fourth year. Definite Umbridge vibes, before she got gang raped by a bunch of centaurs. Sorry, ‘alleged’ gang rape, he remembered from the daily prophet coverage at the time.

“So we have our first option” A Lebanese woman with beautiful dark hair smiled in a knee length black dress.

Daphne stepped out in a dress overflowing with tule and looked ludicrous. “So?” She asked uncertain.

Astor bit his lip, the dress did not suit.

“You look beautiful” Audra smiled.

Daphne did a twirl, the dress flounced.

Astor looked at Tracey, she was brunette with freckles and a light tan. She was plump and perhaps a little too heavy. Tracey looked like she was equally struggling to communicate her thoughts.

“I don’t think so. It makes you look fat” Shannon said completely honestly.

“Well. I would have said that with way more tact” Astor said turning and glaring at Shannon. Who either didn’t care or was oblivious.

“It is a bit much” Tracey agreed, “you don’t look fat though.”

Shannon huffed under her breath. Astor noticed Audra was equally ready to throttle her.

“try the next one on dear” Audra said gently.

Daphne dissapeared behind the curtain, the bridal shop woman disappearing with her.

“Can you not” Astor said leaning over and glaring at Shannon. “I might disagree with my sister a lot. But I’m also not stupid enough to criticise her weight when she’s trying on wedding dresses.”

“Well someone has to point it out” Shannon. “You only get married once and you want to look your best. If I looked fat at my wedding, my Adrian wouldn’t have gone through with it.”

“Well if I was getting married I wouldn’t want to marry someone who was preoccupied to how I looked at twenty.”

“Well I feel sorry for whichever girl marries you” Shannon countered looking her nose down at Astor.

“Lucky I married up then, to a rich man who doesn’t judge my appearance” Astor replied.

“Wizards let homosexuals gets married?I didn’t think they’d allow that.”

Astor paused, and the curtain opened and the woman poked her head out. “We have our next choice.”

Daphne walked out, the dress was fitted to her figure, white and curvy. The cleavage was quite impressive.

“Damn” Astor said impressed. “That is a lot of breast.”

“Is that a good thing or bad thing? It’s really tight too” Daphne said twirling.

“Well if Will forgets his vows it’s not going to be because of nerves” Astor commented.

Daphne smiled, “Mum?”

“It’s lovely. But you might shock your aunts a little” Audra suggested.

“It’s a bit tight too. I don’t fancy spending all day in this” Daphne admitted.

“Well” Shannon began.

“If the rest of your sentence is if you lost some weight. I’m this close to slapping you” Astor cut it.

“Okay. I’m going to get changed. There’s another dress I like but it’s not in my size” She admitted. “But I don’t mind that one, that’s a definite maybe” She said to the shop attendant.

“Let me see if I have the we’re discussing. I’ll double check our stock. We had a few dresses arrive this morning and I know they haven’t checked them yet. “So if your willing to wait a few teeny minutes extra.”

“Sure. Five minute break can’t hurt” Audra smiled.

Astor rubbed his forehead, he could feel himself sweating. He picked the complimentary glass of water and gulped it down.

“You okay?” Audra asked.

“Yeah. Just hot” Astor admitted flushed. “I might just step out and get some fresh air” he said getting up. Definitely feeling faint, he left the shop quickly. He stood in the high street, and took slow deep breaths. “Fuck I haven’t missed this” he groaned leaning against a wall. “I don’t want to throw up, I’m better than that.”

He sighed and took some steady breaths, letting the cool air rush over him. He steadied himself, and walked back into the bridal shop.

Shannon was standing between two racks on the phone. “Honestly Louise the only reason Will is even going through with this wedding. Is she trapped him with a baby, you should see her in the dresses she’s getting fat. Honestly I’ve tried to talk to him. But you know what men are like, they’ll die impaled on their own sword”

Astor tensed and he saw the Lebanese woman walk out of a store room. “You don’t mind if you give me an extra couple of minutes to make a scene.”

“Not a problem” She nodded.

“Thankyou” Astor grinned. As he strode over and snatched the phone from Shannon’s hand. “She’ll call you back.”

“Give that back” Shannon said glaring.

“Oh absolutely not” Astor said livid. “Because your going to go back in there and say exactly what I heard you say over the phone.”

Shannon stared firmly.

Astor considered, “alright then” He smiled, and it was probably the hormones but he grabbed her by her hair and pulled. Impressively he was amused when he held a chunk of hair tracks. “Huh”

Shannon slapped him hard.

Astor cracked his neck and smiled, “that was brave” Astor said grabbing her blouse and dragging her toward the curtain.

“Astor” Audra gasped when she saw Astor drag the struggling Shannon into the room.

“Why don’t we enlighten the group about what you said on the phone.”

“It was a private conversation” Shannon replied curtly, looking livid.

“Mrs Mackenzie. Your in a room full of Wizards, it isn’t illegal but is frowned upon using magic against Muggles.”

Shannon’s confidence wavered. “Well..it was…”

“Go on” Astor said glaring.

“I said that the only reason Will is even going through with this wedding. Is Daphne trapped him with a baby” Shannon said regretting admitting it out loud.

“You also called her fat” Astor added.

Daphne gaped, and looked like she was undecided if she wanted to cry or slap her.

Audra got to her feet, “you are a vile woman” she said horrified. “You are lucky that your son is a decent person because he obviously got none of it from you” Audra said cuttingly. “I’d also suggest getting a refund from your surgeon. Your face might not suggest your age. But your neck does”

Astor gaped in utter awe. “Mum. You are the best.”

“Now you can shut up, and keep your vile opinions to yourself. Or you can leave?” Audra said commandingly. “And Astor give her extensions back.”

“Fine” Astor tossed the extensions at Shannon as she sat down, lips pursed but keeping her mouth shut.

The bridal store woman peered in, “I have found the dress” She said.

“Lovely” Audra smiled. “Go on sweetheart.”

Daphne disappeared behind the curtain. She opened the curtain and appeared the dress was lace with an open back, appliqués, crystals over the bodice and Three quarter length sleeves.

“So?” Daphne said looking at her reflection in the mirror.

“It looks amazing” Tracey insisted.

“Definitely looks good” Astor nodded.

Daphne decided on the last choice. Shannon left as quick as possible, still very embarrassed and Astor suspected to tell everyone in sundry to get them onside.

Daphne said goodbye to Tracey then approached Astor and Audra. “So, that could have gone better” Astor admitted.

Daphne smiled and hugged Astor, “thankyou for standing up for me.”

“Well your my sister, if anyone is going to slag you off. It’s me, and even I know when it’s appropriate.”

“I mean it though. She was well out of line” Daphne insisted.

“It will make the wedding awkward” Audra admitted. “Are you okay though Astor, you were looking a little off there..”

Astor shifted, “yeah, you know. Just” he paused, “fuck it. I’m well…”

“Really?” Audra said realising.

“You couldn’t have waited till after my wedding” Daphne sighed realising.

“Think of it this way. All the attention will be on you” Astor said smiling. “And I’ll be your fat little brother apparently.”

“Stop it. You’ll look great” Daphne reassured. “Another baby, you and Draco don’t mess around.”

“We want a big family” Astor smiled, “and it felt right.”

“Of course it did” Audra smiled. “Another Grandson I imagine. Your father will be so pleased.”

“Enough about me. This is about Daphne” Astor said. “Trust me this is my third pregnancy. You should be used to me being knocked up.”

“We are” Daphne smirked. “Don’t worry about that Astor.”

0o0o0

Astor smiled warmly at Scorpius. “Your going to have so much fun with your Dad” He reassured.

“Sweets?” Scorpius said eyes widening with hope.

“Not too many” Draco said smiling, doing the last few buttons up on his striped shirt.

“Is it getting tighter?” Astor questioned wryly.

“It’s fine” Draco said cheeks going red.

Astor grinned. “Will you be alright with the kids?”

“Astor” Draco frowned. “I can look after our children. Anyway they’ll have Rose to play with.”

“Alright. Are you sure you want me to take Mum to my appointment?” Astor asked.

“I was there for the other two. I’m fine with your Mum joining you” Draco reassured. “As long as you two are healthy” he smiled.

“Okay” Astor smiled as Draco rubbed his belly. “Have a wonderful day at work.”

The fireplace lit up with green flames as Audra climbed out, “You need a fireplace I don’t have to squat so hard to climb out of.”

“Yes Mum”Astor nodded indulgently.

“Look at them all, so adorable” Audra said bending down and kissing them, “have they decided on the genders yet?”

Astor sighed and rubbed his temple. “They’ll decide when they’re ready. Stop pressuring them” Astor said firmly.

“We’ll be off” Draco smiled reassuringly. “See you later” he whispered kissing Astor’s cheek.

“Love you Dray” Astor grinned. Waving him off as Draco and the pram disappeared into green flames.

Astor took Audra to a small country Doctors Clinic. “There are Muggles here?” Audra hissed.

“Mum. The healers here look after both” Astor said. “But you shouldn’t draw attention to it.”

He walked up to the counter and leaned forward. “Appointment for Astor Malfoy”

“Ah yes the Doctor will be with you soon. Take a seat.”

Astor sat down on one of the vinyl chairs. He kept waiting to hear the creek when Draco sat down.

“Have you told Draco’s parents yet?” Audra asked.

“No we haven’t. Draco will tell them when he’s ready” Astor insisted.

“They should be involved.”

“Mum” Astor said frustration rising. “Do nag Daphne this much?”

“She doesn’t answer my fire calls” Audra answered huffing.

“I wonder why?” Astor mumbled staring away.

“Don’t mumble. It’s rude” Audra clipped.

“Mum. You are getting perilously close to not coming in with me.”

“Malfoy, Astor?” The Healer said in the doorway.

Astor grabbed the arm rests and forced himself up. “Here..” he said getting up.

Audra followed him into the doctors office. It was pretty typical, office with a desk and a pile of books stacked high. Even a computer although it was covered in a layer of dust.

“How are we feeling Astor” Healer Mishra asked. Short with black hair that she had tied back, she wore a white lab coat over her jacket.

“Meh” Astor offered with a shrug.

“Astor” Audra chastised. “I’m his mother Audra, lovely to meet you.”

“Ahh. Now let’s check on your baby, your certainly carrying big” Healer Mishra commented.

“Gee thanks” Astor frowned, as she opened a cabinet and threw in a bunch of potions into a cauldron. Stirring it, and ladling an amount into a bottle.

Astor sat down into a chair that wasn’t unlike an old fashioned Barbers chair. Healer Mishra pressed a peddle at the bottom and the seat adjusted bringing Astor’s middle closer to her. Astor lifted his shirt exposing his soft flabby middle. It was lined with stretchmarks and soft and plump. As she smoothed her potion onto his belly it jiggled gently.

Astor blushed self consciously. She waved her wand and vapours hovered in the air, a translucent image. “Ooh. A something” Astor smirked.

Audra tapped his hand, “the sarcasm isn’t needed.”

“Alright, here we go there’s baby number one” Healer Mishra said her wand tip poking through the vapors gesturing to a shape.

“Sorry. Baby number one?”

“Yes. Congratulations it looks like your having twins” Healer Mishra sighed.

“Fuck me” Astor groaned cupping his face. “Come on…”

“I was pregnant with twins last time?” Astor groaned. “It has to be wrong. Please be wrong?”

“Last time it was identical twins, it’s fraternal twins this time they have seperate placenta” Healer Mishra reassured.

“Surely that’s a million to one?” Astor commented.

“Male pregnancies have higher likelihood for twins. Due to the way hormones interact. Think of it as turning on a tap, your body is in a very fertile state. But with time it will taper off, if you space out future pregnancies. Multiples will be less likely.”

Audra gave Astor an amused smile.

“I waited a whole year. How is that not enough” he protested. “Can we remove one and not tell Draco.”

Healer Mishra chuckled indulgently. “Unfortunately not. Your not a high risk, certainly you’ve adjusted better than other wizards I’ve seen.”

“I’m sure Draco will be over the moon” Audra smiled.

Astor left with an arm full of parchment and brochures. “I can’t believe it’s twins again. I’m going to be huge, I was already enormous last time.”

“It’s not going to do you any good stressing about it” Audra said firmly. “You are in a very lucky position.”

“I suppose, your not the one who has to birth another two children” Astor murmured.

“Let’s go to lunch, get something to eat” Audra reassured.

“Honestly I think I might just go home and have a nap” Astor said a little defeated. “I was up early this morning.”

Audra frowned, but nodded. “Okay, if you are certain. You don’t have many days without the boys.”

“I’ll be okay” Astor reassured.

Later he sat down on the side of bed and sighed rubbing face. “Fuck. Fuck, Fuck!” Astor said kicking his shoes off as they collided with the chest fo drawers. He lay down on the bed and pressed his face into his pillow. Pulling the duvet around him and crying. Letting all his tears out.

The bedroom door opened and Draco walked in, the mattress dipped as he sat down. “Your Mother dropped by the shop after the appointment. Said you were looking a little down” Draco asked his hand rubbing Astor’s head.

“Great. Can’t even cry in peace” Astor mumbled.

“Okay” Draco said calmly. “I know I shouldn’t be worried. But that’s not a particular good start after an appointment.”

“It’s not bad. Like that” Astor said looking up. “We’re having twins again…”

“Seriously?” Draco said eyes lighting up. “Twins?”

“Yes” Astor muttered, “and don’t look that enthusiastic.”

“Hey. I love our twins, and two more sound wonderful” Draco reassured.

“I’m going to huge” Astor pouted.

“I know. It’ll be wonderful” Draco grinned.

Astor sighed and let Draco kissed him. “I’ve got to go back to work, but I’ll drop the kids off with your Mum. And we’ll have a night for us?” Draco reassured. “Okay?”

“Okay” Astor nodded.

“Why am I being dragged to this?” Astor whined. “Shouldn’t it just be you and Dad, and what am I supposed to tell people about being you know what…”

Audra cast him a firm look, “We’re going as a family. It would be rude to say no.”

“It’ll be fine” Draco reassured pushing the pram. “I’m sure the boys will have a whale of a time.”

Astor looked over at Daphne who was wearing a flowery dress and makeup and reeked of perfume. She was looking pensive. “I still don’t think your brothers approve of me.”

“It’s because you’ve got actual cleavage” Will grinned putting an arm around her, pushing the pram with his free hand. He was in a nice shirt and slacks. He was carrying “And Dad is trying to do damage control. So it’ll be interesting…”

“You sound nervous, that’s a good sign” Astor commented wryly.

“Yeah I’ve always been a little of an outsider when I turned out to be a wizard” Will admitted. “Dad was more annoyed I wasn’t interested in being working in the family business. Than me being a wizard.”

“Your parents house is nice” Cyril said pointing to the large house, it was a detached brick home with a nice garden and a driveway with a black BMW sitting there.

“It’s all Mum” Will said rolling his eyes. He lifted the pram up the step onto the porch and opened the door. Inside was a polished tiled floor. “Mum..Dad” Will called out.

“Out the back.” Came the reply.

“Anyway Astor, you remember my families house” Will said as he ushered everyone indoors. It was nice, a weird Adonis statue, a few modern art works and pristine leather couches. A floating staircase lead upstairs, made of polished wooden timber and black rails.

“This looks like a child hazard waiting to happen” Astor commented.

“Yeah. There’s a reason we don’t let them look after Grace” Will mumbled.

“Sounds like my parents” Draco commented wryly. Will gave a sympathetic nod.

“There you are. Welcome, Welcome” Robert Mackenzie grinned. He looked kind of like Will, except tanned and with a receding hairline. He wore an apron, with a girl in a bikini on it. “Looking chubby Will. You need to get back into the gym” He said firmly.

“I’m fine Dad” Will said tensely. “This is my fiancé’s parents, Audra and Cyril” Will introduced.

“Yes. I remember, good to see you again” Robert said shaking Cyril’s hands firmly.

“Shannon” Robert called out.

Astor pursed his lips. And Shannon sauntered over with a champagne glass in her hand. She exchanged rather forced hellos with Audra and Daphne. Although it was clear Audra was trying to be nice.

“You could smile” Draco muttered.

“Nope” Astor said simply.

“Your brothers are outside” Shannon said casting a look at Astor.

“Subtle” Astor commented. “This my husband Draco.” He said introducing them.

“Oh the rich husband” Shannon nodded. “I’m sure he’s nice..”

“Mum” Will said frustrated.

“Draco is great, and Astor is my best friend. Can you please not” Will insisted.

“Will now come on” Shannon said sighing dramatically.

“Seriously Mum. You were out line, just admit you were wrong” Will said clearly annoyed.

“Anyway!” Robert said trying to intervene. “Come meet the rest of the family” he said leading the Greengrass’s outside.

“Going well” Astor muttered to Will.

“The phone calls I’ve had to sit through. Seriously, but also thankyou.”

Outside attending to the barbecue, was Will’s oldest brother, James Mackenzie or Jimmy. Tall and looking handsome at first glance. Dark hair, light tan, brown eyes and packed full of muscle.

“Hey. There’s our tubby little bro” Jimmy grinned walking over. “You need to come to the gym. You have a lifetime membership. Might as well use it, at any of our four gyms.”

“Daphne. Oh it’s good to see you” Jimmy’s wife. Olivia said, she had blonde hair and pale skin, although she was wearing enough makeup to make herself look tan. She wore a pair a tight cocktail dress and a pair of strappy sandles. “Are these your brothers?” She said looking at Astor and Draco.

“Only one of them Liv. Astor my younger brother and his husband Draco” Daphne smiled.

“Oh shit. That’s Astor, you’ve blown up” Timothy Mackenzie said smirking. Dark hair and had a masculine version of his mother’s features. Her eyes and smile, although his fathers strong jawline. He was dressed in a tank top with the gym logo, and a piece of tight jeans. Astor had seen Will wear similar ones over the years.

“Hey…Tim” Astor said politely.

“You used to be a stick, what happened dude” Tim said reaching to pat Astor’s belly before suddenly recoiling his hands. “Is there something in there.”

“Yes…I’m pregnant” Astor said flatly.

“Your a dude? Is that a magic thing?” Tim asked concerned.

“Yes. And yes” Astor said simply.

“Ahh!” Came a protest from the pram.

“Alright we’ll let you out” Will chuckled, as he bent down and let Gracie out of the pram. He pulled out a plump blonde girl in a pale blue dress with a tule skirt. “There we go…”

Gracie peered over at the other pram, and crawled over. To Astor’s pram. “Aww. She wants to bother her cousins” Astor grinned. “Come on you three” Astor said heaving the twins out first, before reaching over and letting Scorpius out. Scorpius looked around and immediately retreated behind Draco. The twins happily started following Gracie as she crawled.

“Hi Uncle Will” A young brunette boy in a nice shirt, sweater vest and trousers. Beside him a slightly younger girl in a pretty dress and pretty hair smiled sweetly.

“Hey Hunter, Ella” Will nodded.

“Can we play with Gracie?” Ella said innocently.

“Well she’s hasn’t seen her cousins in a few days. Let’s give her a little bit” Daphne suggested.

“We’re her cousins too” Ella said pouting.

“And she’s little, it’s good for her to be playing with children her own age” Daphne said simply. “Maybe later.”

“Mum!” Ella pouted to Olivia.

“Just for a bit. You know how kids are” Olivia said patting Daphne’s hand.

Ella didn’t even wait for for Daphne’s permission and picked up Grace like a doll. Instantly her expression changed and Gracie bit down on Ella’s arm. Ella screamed in pain.

“She’s been having a biting phase” Will nodded. “You’ll be fine..”

The moment the Barbecue was ready, was a relief, the awkward chats subsided. Everyone ate, although there were a few surprised looks when Will and Draco went back for thirds.

“You look desperate for a beer” Astor said holding one out as he sat down.

“Thanks” Will said relieved. “Is it bad I sometimes wish my family weren’t like this. This whole thing has been a pain. Mum hasn’t liked Daphne ever, because she’s not thin and self obsessed.”

“Like your sister in law who looks like she’d melt if she went near an open flame?” Astor commented. “Also are in designer clothes? Because that’s insane..”

“Oh yeah. Nothing but the best for Hunter and Ella” Will nodded taking a large sip.

“Well, I wish I could say it’s from a place of love. But honestly they’re assholes. Your dad is the only one who seems to be trying but even then” Astor pointed out.

“I’m probably the most like dad. Although my tastes are different” Will patted his gut firmly. “How are my two niece or nephews?”

“Big. I think them having separate spots it masking them big” Astor muttered. “Merlin knows how I’ll be by your wedding. Some best man.”

Will laughed, “dude, you’ll be fine. Honestly today has definitely made it clear your the right choice.”

“Uncle Will?” Scorpius said walking over with a ball. “Can we play?” He asked hopefully.

“Absolutely” Will grinned. “Come on” he groaned getting up and standing on the lawn. As Scorpius attempted to throw the ball. “Great throw Scorpius. Here we go ready to catch?” Will smiled picking up the ball.

“He was never like that with my kids” Jimmy admitted quietly.

“He’s a great uncle” Astor nodded. Looking at Jimmy’s uncertain expression. “Do you want the truth? Or would prefer the nice version?”

“The truth” Jimmy said quietly.

“Well as an outsider to your family. I think Will is realising that he doesn’t need to exist in the universe of the family he grew up with. He’s outgrown it. He loves my sister, which while horrifying he’s got a deep love for her. And that’s taking priority, all the attitude from your mother, the weight comments. He’s realising what makes him happy.”

Jimmy nodded taking Astor’s words in, as he watched his brother throw the ball to Scorpius. “We’ve really fucked this up haven’t we.”

“You said it” Astor commented with a polite nod. “Not me..”

Chapter.

“Urrrrppppppp…” Astor burped as he gulped down a mouthful of milk.

More. His belly ached for more, he didn’t care that he was swollen with dinner. But he was craving more. He saw the butter sitting in the tray, he reached out and unwrapped it before shoving it in his mouth, chewing it.

It wasn’t enough. He needed more.

He couldn’t get enough food.

He opened containers of cream and chugged them, not caring as it dripped down his chin.

More. Astor needed more. He ate whatever chocolate he could get his hands on not caring as it became smeared with chocolate.

More. He needed more.

He opened the freezer, shoving mouthfuls of frozen blueberries, and raspberries. He tore open the box of ice cream sandwiches. Opening the up and shoving them in, he wasn’t full enough.

He had to be the biggest. The fattest.

Astor waved his wand over the tubs of ice cream melting them down and drinking them. His stomach bulged looking rounded and so tight.

He had to keep going. He needed to eat more.

Draco woke up to his belly being prodded. He yawned and as he drowsily opened his eyes. Scorpius stood at the bed eating chocolate and prodding Draco’s belly.

“It’s a bit early for that?” Draco chuckled yawning, “what’s up? Has your Mum not sorted your breakfast?” He said rubbing his eyes.

Scorpius shook his head, “Ceph and Aug are grumpy because they can’t get out. I gave them toys to keep quiet.”

“Very smart” Draco nodded indulgently.

“Where’s your Mum?”

“Asleep on the couch. His tummy looks really round. Like Daddy’s” Scorpius said patting Draco’s gut.

Draco smiled amused and pulled Scorpius up onto the bed. “Well I have a secret to tell you. Mum has got another baby inside him”

“More babies?” Scorpius asked.

“That’s right.” He whispered smiling.

“Soon?” Scorpius asked with a worried look.

“No. Mum has to get bigger first” Draco chuckled hugging Scorpius tighter.

“Shall we go get your brothers up?” Draco encouraged rolling onto his side, holding Scorpius tightly. Eliciting a fit of giggles.

Draco got the twins up which Scorpius had been right about being frustrated. Both Cepheus and Augustus looked ready to stage a revolt. As they rattled the bars of their cots.

“Alright. Sorry…let’s get you up” Draco said heaving Augustus out of the crib.

Augustus kicked and struggled and the moment he was free, he crawled away at speed.

Draco sighed, “right. Still going to have to change your Nappy” Draco called after him.

“I’ll get him.” Scorpius offered.

“Ah!” Augustus replied.

“Come on Cepheus” Draco groaned bending down and lifting Cepheus up. He kicked Draco’s belly. “Gentle” he warned as he lifted Cepheus onto the nappy change table.

Cepheus kicked, but nevertheless Draco changed cepheus nappy.

“Dad got him” Scorpius declared manhandling Augustus who was struggling and on the verge of crying.

“Put your brother down” Draco said trying to hide his smile.

As he finished changing Cepheus. “There we go” he said patting Cepheus butt. “All clean.”

“Now you the runaway” Draco said heaving Augustus up. He sniffed Augustus butt. “Definitely need a change, your a fast one aren’t you.”

“Da Da” Augustus said reaching for Draco.

“That’s right. I’m Da Da” he smiled.

“No Aug. he’s Dad” Scorpius commented insisting.

“He’s learning Scorpius. It takes time to learn words. In a few years you’ll have to learn to read” Draco commented.

“Like you do with books?” Scorpius asked.

“Exactly” Draco nodded. “You don’t like books do you? Don’t know where you get it from” Draco smiled as he placed a new nappy on Augustus. “I blame your uncle.”

Draco heaved Augustus onto his hip before he bent down and scooped up Cepheus. “Breakfast what do we think?”

“Food!” Scorpius said with an enthusiastic smile.

Draco came downstairs and couldn’t help but smile as he spotted Astor passed out on the couch, his belly bulging and hanging out. His face covered in food. He’d obviously stuffed himself, which was a tad unusual. He set the boys up in their high chairs and ended up giving them some apple and water. At least to keep them quiet. While running a cloth under warm water and approaching the couch.

“Morning Love” Draco said grabbing the cloth and wiping the food remnants off his face.

Astor stirred burping lazily, “Urrrrrrpppp” he groaned and rubbed his belly. “I was really hungry” he pouted.

“Oh I can tell” Draco smiled as he rubbed the roundest part of Astor’s belly. “It looks like the baby wants a very fat Mummy.”

Astor blushed deeply. Draco kissed Astor’s belly contentedly. “Your turning Mummy into a pig for me. Thankyou Baby” he said kissing Astor’s gut.

“Dray” Astor groaned.

“Come on up we get piggy” Draco grinned heaving Astor to his feet. “I’ll make pancakes and you can gorge again” Draco enthused proudly.

Astor picked up a champagne glass and tapped it with a fork. He lifted Grace up and handed her a sippee cup. “Alright, Grace hold this, you can help me with the speech” Astor smiled. “Hello everyone, as you might have guessed I’m the best man” Astor began. “Also on babysitting duty” he added Violet waved her sippee cup around enthusiastically. “Now I could do a long drawn out speech putting both my sister Daphne and Will through the ringer. But will also has enough dirt on me to sink the titanic.” There were chuckles from various tables around the venue. Along with mild relief from Daphne. “I met Will on the night of school. I was settling into the dorm room, and he was terrified with no clue what to expect. I offered him some sweets, and he asked if I liked football. I lied and said yes. It took him a week to realise I knew nothing about football. He spent the next year trying to teach me, unsuccessfully I might add. But we became a very unlikely duo, and I would argue I’d improved him by exposing him to all the best geeky things. But I can say for absolutely I didn’t see his relationship with my sister coming. Certainly he’s the best guy she’s ever dated, and this little one is the sweetest niece I could have ever imagined” Astor grinned, Grace smiled back and he tapped her gently on the nose. “So I propose a toast, to the New Mr and Mrs Greengrass. Will and Daphne” Astor said raising his champagne glass, filled with sparkling apple juice. And Grace held out her sippee cup, mimicking Astor. “That they have many years of happiness together. To Will and Daphne”

Everyone was standing up and raised their glasses, “To Will and Daphne”

Everyone took a sip and Grace took a gulp from her sippee cup. Before Astor sat her back down in the high chair.

“You know none of my side know I’m dropping Mackenzie?” Will said leaning over.

“They might not even realise” Astor grinned.

“You say that” Will commented, “and thankyou for not embarrassing me.”

“It’s your wedding, and you have dirt on me. I don’t need revenge” Astor grinned.

“How much of that does Draco know.”

“It’s not too late for me to start sharing stories” Astor warned.

“Two can play at that game brother” Will grinned back.

Astor couldn’t help but laugh.

Astor really was stacking on the weight this time around. He had never been a gainer not like Draco. He didn’t enjoy being stuffed, or being forced to eat until he couldn’t move.

Yet as this pregnancy progressed Draco began to wonder if Astor was growing a gainer inside him. Determined to get as fat as possible in utero.

“How’s my fat piggy this morning” Draco cooed kissing Astor as he led him into the kitchen. “Ready to eat…”

“I’m still stuffed from last night” Astor puffed. “I really don’t think I can manage.”

“Don’t you want our babies to be fat?” Draco asked warmly. “Come sit down, Harry’s cooking breakfast. So you and Ginny can eat…”

Ginny was in the kitchen, her belly round and bulging. She was two months behind in her pregnancy. Like Astor she became greedier and gluttonous with a baby on the way. “Morning Astor” Ginny smiled.

“Morning. Is your husband being just as insistent as mine?” Astor asked as he sat down.

Ginny chuckled, “not quite. Although Draco seems very determined.”

“He wants the Baby to roll out of me” Astor said rubbing his gut. “I’m not even in my third trimester yet.”

“Would it be so bad?” Draco said as he put down a plate of food.

“I’m dieting after I give birth” Astor insisted.

“Okay. If you say so” Draco smiled indulgently.

“You could at least try to be supportive” Astor muttered taking a bite glaring.

“How are the kids?”

“Playing outside” he gestured to the open cottage doors. “Teddy is keeping an eye on them.” Astor looked up and a boy with bright red hair, brighter than natural was playing with a the five boys.

“Oh that’s your cousin right? Andromeda’s grandson?” Astor asked prodding Draco’s middle.

“Yes” Draco nodded patting Astor’s shoulder condescendingly.

The fireplace lit up with green and Ron and Hermione heaved themselves out. “Your still having breakfast?” Ron raised an eyebrow.

“Brunch” Ginny corrected. “There’s still food if your hungry.”

“You won’t mind if I have a second breakfast?” Ron asked Hermione patting her belly. “Or do you want some first?” He asked.

“I’m okay. Promise, go ahead” Hermione encouraged squeezing a love handle.

Ron grinned and pulled out a chair for Hermione, before handing a plate to Harry to fill up. Ron plonked himself down in a chair beside Harry and began eating ravenously.

“I thought you’d said he’d eaten breakfast?” Ginny questioned covering her mouth as she swallowed a mouthful.

“He has. Bottomless pit of a stomach” Hermione insisted.

“I feel like you unleashed a genie that can’t be put back in” Harry grinned, chewing on a forkful of bacon. “How do you manage to work at a sweet shop without eating all your stock.”

“With great difficulty” Ron answered with his mouth full.

“So who’s giving birth first..” Harry grinned, turning off the stove.

“Please me” Astor pouted, “I’m never getting pregnant again.”

“Of course” Draco reassured patting Astor’s belly.

“I’m serious. I’ve been pregnant with twins twice” Astor moaned. “I refer to chance it a third time.”

“That is statistically unlikely” Hermione pointed out. “Twins twice is unlikely.”

“See” Draco said firmly.

“If you want another one, you can carry it” Astor prodded Draco’s gut.

Draco chuckled and rubbed Astor’s stomach gently. “Let’s get you thirds.”

“So Draco, what do your parents think of their newest grandchildren?” Hermione asked curiously.

“They don’t know yet” Draco admitted casually.

“Seriously?” Harry said surprised.

“They’ll want to be involved” Draco huffed. “I’ll tell them once the children are born.”

“I don’t want to defend them here. But Draco that’s hardly fair” Hermione commented. “You should at least tell them Astor is expecting. I thought you were on better terms.”

“More holding them at arms length terms” Astor commented.

“My parents have opinions. They’re both horrified that I’ve got three children and refused to tell them the gender of. And I guarantee Mum will be desperate to be in the room for the birth of these two”

Astor grimaced, “Too many people have seen my butt hole” He agreed. “Two of which are sitting across from the table.”

“Exactly” Draco reassured.

“Oh Astor I’ve been meaning to tell you, guess who I ran into when I was out with Neville” Ginny said with an enthusiastic grin.

“Who?” He asked intrigued.

“Pansy Parkinson. She has a daughter Albus age”

“Our poor children, which desiccated corpse of a man puffed a load of his semen into her” Astor grimaced.

“That’s a horrifyingly vivid image” Harry said wincing.

“Apt knowing Pansy” Draco chuckled.

“Irritatingly he was hot. A condescending git, but kind of attractive” Ginny conceded.

“That’s disappointing? It’s not someone we went to school with?” Draco asked.

“No American I think, she lives in New York” Ginny said. “I didn’t exactly want to have a long conversation, given all the very subtle fat jokes.”

“She’d have a field day if she saw me. Well she can stay there” Draco said firmly. “Certainly i hope that daughter of hers isn’t at school with my children.”

“Yeah, they might date her” Harry quipped.

“I’d rather they all marry Weasleys”

“Careful. Percy might agree” Ron warned between bites.
