Hermione's eyes widened. Truth be told, she hadn't considered the possibility of twins, if only because the prospect of having a child at all already seemed like so much to process. But the thought of having two children to care for was exciting in of itself, causing Hermione's stomach to do another flip as she leaned forward and pressed a kiss to Ron's cheek, laughing in disbelief.
She didn't want them to get ahead of themselves, but it didn't hurt to be prepared for any possibility.
"I guess there's a chance. Of course there's a chance," Hermione said, her voice containing barely concealed excitement as she squeezed Ron's hand. "It runs in your family, after all. I don't think it runs in mine — at least, I haven't met any relatives who were twins. But we know how strongly the Weasley genes tend to run, after all." She glanced down, eyes unfocused but gaze lingering around her knees.
"The one thing I know is that I'd like to have more than one child. I wasn't unhappy at all as an only child, but having watched your family growing up, there were so many times I wished I could have had a sibling at home. Someone whom I could talk to about everything I experienced at Hogwarts, someone I know I could confide in and lean on. I suppose the both of us, with Harry, were together so often that we were just as tied at the hip. But I would love for our child to have that unbreakable bond in their early years." She smiled. "What do you think, Ron?"
