This is something I wrote on a whim but friend seemed to enjoy and I'd like to know if anyone else likes it. I DO ask that you R&R.
The crackled sounds of high-pitched wails filled the air and the woman lying on the once white bed gave another huff of exhaustion and elation. She had done it. She had had another. A sixth one to the bunch. "It's a boy!" the healer had cried moments before, letting her know she would care for another son. She relaxed into the soiled sheets at the thought.
A small bundle was deftly passed to the woman in the bed and she took the baby eagerly, looking at her new son with awe. She ate up the beauty of the newborn, admiring the spots that adorned his cheeks and his slender nose that reminded her of her aunt. His whimpering was wearing off and Molly Weasley gazed lovingly at him. He returned the gaze with confused and tired blue eyes. Soon, he was no longer fussing, just looking.
"He's beautiful," her husband commented, sounding just as enthused as he always was. Looking up from her son, she caught his gaze and said, "They always are." Sharing soft smiles, they returned their gaze to their child.
"What should we name him?" her husband asked after a moment.
"How about after your late brother, Bilius?"
"Oh, but he hated his name," he commented, smirking just a bit. "To not humiliate our son too much, let it be his middle name, yeah? But for a first nameā¦" he trailed off.
"Ronald," she said suddenly, swallowing her emotion. "Let's call him Ron, Arthur."
"That, Molly, is wonderful idea."
They gazed into each other's eyes, communicating their love for each other and their family silently as the healer and his assistants began to clean up around them. It was late, almost three in the morning, and despite all of their weariness, they were content and it was quiet. Arthur would tell the rest of their children in a few hours as to let them sleep and soon their lives would be a mess with family celebrations and it would be chaotic again, as it always was.
"Well, Ronald Bilius Weasley," Molly Weasley croaked softly as she gently cradled the newest addition to her family to her chest, tears swelling at the corner of her eyes from her joy and sweat as she gazed down at him, "Welcome to the family."
