I believe there's NO way to implement multiple edges in a
System`Graph object. In fact, you undoubtedly saw, when you tried, the error message:

  Graph::supp: Mixed graphs and multigraphs are not supported.

Moving the functionality of the graph-theoretic functions from the Combinatorica add-on to the kernel has been a slow process over several versions of Mathematica and evidently is not yet complete.

We can only hope that the next version of Mathematica, already documented in preliminary form at

  http://reference.wolfram.com/language/

will allow multiple edges at long last.
