~Pregnant? How is that even possible? Magnus can't do that.~ Emma was confused as heck, but she could not bring herself to stop Grace from taking her to the hospital.
Soon, the test was done and the doctor came to wish Grace cheerfully, "Ma'am, it's good news, her majesty is pregnant."
Grace was on cloud nine in an instant. She hugged Emma into a tight embrace, but Emma was in shock. ~How? We've done it unprotected all the time, so why now?~
She quickly used her ring to contact her husband and talked mentally, ~Magnus, I am in hospital with mother. How am I pregnant?~
*WOOSH*
In an instant Magnus apparated in a special room in the hospital designated for the quick entry, he came running and shocked both women, hugged them together and even lifted them up.
He kissed Emma, "This is such great news. Are you sure, doctor? Did you check multiple times?"
"Yes, your majesty. We did the test three times and all showed a positive result." the doctor assured.
Magnus kissed Emma's forehead and whispered into her ears, "What do you think the last whole trip was all about? Ragnar found a cure, we were not sure so didn't tell you not to disappoint you."
As soon as those words were said, her knees went weak and she fell onto him, he caught her firmly. Tears rolled down her eyes, "I-Is this a dream?"
He shook his head, "You can pinch me all you want later. You are going to be a mother and I a father, Emma. This is the only truth that matters,"
She hugged him tightly. She used to think that getting Magnus was enough of luck for her for this lifetime, the curse of not being able to have a child was just a way for fate to punish her. She had accepted it, but this news hit her like a sudden storm, and she was happy beyond words could describe.
Meanwhile, Grace felt strange due to their reaction. They should be laughing and cheering, but she saw a face of relief. But she cared not for it, "Let's go home, it's a day of celebration. Magnus, be gentle and careful with Emma from now on."
"Do you want me to pick you up?" He asked her.
She blushed and shook her head, "No, I can walk. Let's go home, I want to eat something."
"Of course, Abe and George can cook something nice. I remember when I had Magnus I also felt distasteful with all the normal food, I chased for all the strongly flavoured ones." Grace took Emma's arm and walked with her.
Magnus saw their backs, he silently smiled, thinking about Ragnar. ~Bastard did it. *Sigh* The time to move to Camelot has come. If my enemies find out about Emma's pregnancy then they might try to hurt her.~
...
Magnus arrived back home with his mum and wife. First, he quickly barged into Ragnar's underground lab.
"Ragnar, you mad genius. It worke... WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?" Magnus stopped in the middle as he saw Ragnar sitting on a stool, without any clothes but short underwear.
In front of him was a giant mirror and in his hand was something like an injection. There were tattoos all over his body now except the face. Heck, the tattoos go even on his legs and possibly dick too, who knows.
Ragnar turned around on the stool, "Oh, nice, come here and help me. These are my final tattoo runes. Once I have them I can store my magic in them so I can moderately use them later. This will at least allow me to use low-level charms accurately.
"Plus, these can increase my strength. I can literally pop a skull of a giant with my palms like it's watermelon."
Magnus was in awe, "You've been working to make yourself stronger all this time?"
"Strength is respected everywhere, it doesn't matter how good potions I brew, if I can't stop those who want to steal from me, what's the point?" Ragnar said.
Magnus got to work and started using the injection-like pen to draw the patterns on his back as he instructed. "Rag, Emma is pregnant,"
"So it works, good. My sleepless nights didn't go to waste this means. I guess I will be having someone to spoil in 9 more months. What will you name him or her?" Ragnar asked.
Magnus didn't speak for a few seconds. He felt so grateful to him, "No, you can name the baby. You should be the one to do it. I'm sure Emma would say the same."
"Sweet... I will give a wacky name, one that strikes fear in the names of enemies. After all, one day he or she will become the monarch." Ragnar chirped.
"Yes, but by the time I die, whenever it may be, I will make sure I have fixed the world. Heck, I might be able to do that before the start of the new century." Magnus planned. He didn't want his child to face the hardships and wars that he had to. He didn't want them to have to deal with corruption and such.
"There, done with the Tattoo. Come out later for dinner, I think mum is going to cook a big meal tonight. Emma might get a bit emotional at you though." Magnus handed him the tattoo needles back and headed out.
Ragnar continued to tattoo his other parts alone, "Ah damn, underarms hurt."
In Ragnar's head, Magnus, Grace, Adam, Emma and the three gremlins were his family. You don't ask them for repayment for showing them kindness or helping them because that's what families do. To him, the fact he was able to help them was enough and the end of the matter.
...
Exhausted, Adam returned home after a long day at the Hadron Collider. As soon as he entered he was greeted by loud giggles, talks and laughs from his family. It was an instant rejuvenator for any man who loved his family.
But today it seemed a bit different for some reason he felt. "What's going on? What's with all the packages?"
"We're moving to Camelot, Adam. You are going to be a grandpa." Grace blurted, still as excited as hours ago.
*THUD*
The bag fell that Adam was holding. He rushed in, his face plastered with a vibrant smile. "Will I be a grandpa?"
Honestly, Adam was in his late 40s, it was just because he was fed with potions and other things he looked 35. So him saying he'll be grandpa was a bit odd to look at.
"Yup, you're gonna get a fine grandchild soon. Magnus has decided that for protection and peace of mind we shall all move to Camelot. The place has so many cute and friendly animals, Duck will also be happy. Plus, Martha is an amazing healer and can take care of everything for Emma." Grace explained.
Adam nodded continuously, "I agree, Magnus has too many enemies around the world. Nearly every day his forces catch Soviet spies that try to enter my experiment grounds."
Magnus laughed, "Haha, dad, don't worry about them. They are like a dying snake right now, they will wriggle a lot. In a few years, I will deal with them too. I want the eradication of communism and it will be done."
*Yawn* Ragnar walked in, "Congrats Emma,"
Emma didn't wait and gave him a good hug, "Thanks, Rag. You're the best."
"What's this? A change of heart? I'm so used to curses from you that even this feels like you're shaming me. But I'm glad it worked, congratulations." He patted her back.
She chuckled and let him go, "Pack your stuff, we're moving in an hour. I'm honestly looking forward to going to Camelot. We will have so much space to travel around without caring about those around us."
*POP*
Grandma Martha appeared, "And the fact that we have communities of Centaurs, Goblins and Vela make it even better. There are shops for food, books, vegetables, cafes and I even opened a new Cinema hall."
"GRANDMA!" Emma received hugs from her too. She carried the next king or queen in line and deserved all care after all.
"I have already babyproofed the castle. The little ones will be going to Hogwarts next year anyway so we still have time to make more changes. Magnus dear, now hurry up, Duck is sitting in the Portkey room all excited, I'm afraid if we don't go he might just teleport here."

After moving into Camelot not much changed for Magnus. His life was as before, busy. Meetings around the world, checking other world powers and making sure they fall in line.
Emma was absolutely healthy, she was being spoiled by Grace and Martha, fed health potions, balanced diet and made to do exercise every day. Drinking or any kind of food that can harm the child was avoided. Heck, Abe and George were forced to take advanced classes on how to care for a baby.
It was going to be Magnus' blood, even he knew that it be a boy or a girl, the child is going to be gifted with power. Dragon blood may be diluting with this next iteration but dragon blood is still dragon blood.
Magnus wanted to do all the work he could in this time so he could spend time with his child and truly teach them his values so they never go wrong.
As Emma's belly looked more and more developed, Magnus started to feel a bit more urgency to work harder. His next target was the USSR, the biggest thorn in world peace.
Ruling USSR like he did with the USA was impossible because of extreme corruption and the ability of a few powerful people to take away power from the General Secretary if they want to.
~It's time the Berlin wall falls,~ he muttered before heading to Germany.
...
Severus' House,
It was nighttime and Severus was hard at work. He rarely slept whenever he was working on something important. Usually, he creates potions or makes previous ones better. His patents earned him enough money that he could sit back and enjoy the money rolling in.
But he was a restless man, doing nothing was his poison. In addition, Ragnar's anti-sleeping pills were good enough to not mess up his mind.
Narcissa helped him from time to time but she also had Draco to attend to. The boy was more than 2 years old now and crawls everywhere. Narcissa was pretty strict with him however and surprisingly he would run to Severus to get saved as Narcissa never acted not lady-like in front of him.
~I should go to sleep now,~ he yawned and thought. He had already finished writing his new book for the potions curriculum of his Hogwarts school. It was written in the best way possible, telling kids tricks and methods to make potions better. [A/N: Basically his Half-Blood Prince book but now mass-produced.]
He closed his lab and headed to his bedroom on the main floor of the mansion. However, just as he was passing by he saw Narcissa sitting in front of the fireplace on the floor, the rest of the living room was dimly lit.
"Narcissa? What are you doing here?" He asked her, having a hint of worry after seeing her face.
"Nothing... just couldn't sleep," she replied.
Severus took a seat beside her, "Bad memories?"
She nodded and sighed. She was trying to leave all the trauma and bad memories in the past but every now and then the nightmares would come and wake her up all sweaty and breathless.
Severus patted her shoulder, "I can give you a sleeping potion to clear your mind. What you have been through would have broken anybody, the fact you survived shows you are strong-willed. Maybe... Bellatrix couldn't hold on to the sanity after whatever happened to her."
"She was insane before the marriage, the marriage just made her evil." She said.
Severus sighed and told her about his life, "My father used to hit me and my mother a lot when I was small. Although they married in love, mother never told him she was a witch. So when she did after I was born, the man went 16th-century mode. He blamed my mother and me for all misfortune.
"He started drinking and lost his job, then blamed us again. That was until Magnus came and did something to him. I have no idea where he is anymore and neither do I care. I do have some bad dreams of my most vulnerable days. I honestly don't know where I would have been if I had not met Magnus and Ragnar. Maybe I'd be one of the dead ones among the bad guys.
"These bad memories are just the ghosts of the past that will always haunt us, we can only learn to live with them."
She glanced at him, he looked particularly different when he said this, "You know, you should go out more and date or something. You are much wiser for your age, women like a man like this."
He shrugged and got up, "The thing is, I am too mature for girls around my age. I tried going on a date, but got disappointed by her stupidity. Let's go, I should get you a sleeping potion."
He gave her his hand to hold and get up. She hesitated for a second and took it, smiling, "I don't think I will need that anymore, talking to you was a big relief."
"Glad I could help. You can come talk whenever you want. Good night," he left soon after. The guy was a numbskull when it came to taking hints that someone was interested in him.
...
The year 1984 had so much to bring to Magnus' life. The GAR was going to be completed in Africa. The mining on the moon would scale up. Bobby would test the Fusion reactor and finally, he will have a child.
Just being 24, he felt he had hurried a bit to have a baby, but beggars can't be choosers. He wholeheartedly welcomed the changes to his life. Always caring for Emma when she slept beside him. Make sure none of the minerals decreases in her body.
"Don't you have any work? Go, stop spoiling me like a baby." She would say this all the time. But she was actually loving it. She too felt it was too early for a child but cared not for it anymore.
Magnus continued his work in Berlin. He destabilised the region by provoking the crowd on both sides. He showed each side a dream of a united Germany. Destroying the Berlin wall was symbolic, Germany won't unite until the fall of the USSR.
On the 7th month of Emma's pregnancy which was in July of 1984, the Berlin wall fell. Magnus saw everything from his home on television. It was the people of East Berlin themselves who did it, of course, Magnus ensured that no mass shootings happened by the guards.
"Yes, send rations and medical aid to the region. Let them know that they are not alone in this fight." he put down the phone. He had just ordered the UN chief to get actively involved.
"AH! She moved again," Emma exclaimed suddenly.
Magnus caressed her belly, "Hehe, of course, she would, she's gonna be a strong queen when she grows up."
It was not hard to find out if they were having a girl or a boy. Martha had revealed to them that it's a girl in the first month of pregnancy.
"ARGH! It's so hard to decide on one." Ragnar was sitting close by with a blank notebook and pen. He wrote something again and again and threw them away.
"What are you even doing?" Magnus inquired.
"Deciding on a name for her. I want it to be something beautiful and also meaningful. It's so hard and frustrating. Help me Mag, or I might just name her potato." Ragnar requested.
Emma barked, "Don't you dare suggest that or I will bald you in your sleep."
"Huh, that's jealousy speaking, Emma. You are jealous of my silky smooth blonde hair. Women go crazy over them." Ragnar boasted.
"Yet you don't date them. When will you bring me the good news now, Rag?" Grace appeared and hugged Ragnar's neck from behind the sofa.
Ragnar shook his head in disappointment, "Mum, I don't want to bring a basic chick home. I want one with history, personality and strengths."
"Then I guess I will have to be happy with my granddaughter only. Girl you are looking for does not exist in today's day and age." Grace sighed sadly and took a seat on Emma's other side.
They had a new giant living room on the top floor of Camelot just beside the terrace. By giant, it meant giant enough to allow Duck to enter and rest inside. Even now he was sleeping happily in the background. He was so happy every day that he'd tire himself out playing.
It was a good time.
[A/N: I won't be writing a lot of chapters about Magnus' daughter. After her birth, we will have chapters with short time skips eventually taking us 11 years in the future.]
