Author's Note: As promised, here it is! A series of one-shots revolving around the important moments of Rose Weasley's life. This chapter is the beginning, of course, meaning the day she was born. So I hope you like it. =)

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own anything…

"Ginny!" Hermione called from her spot in the oversized armchair of the Weasley household. She was nine months pregnant and huge. But, of course, she was well aware of it. Her husband, Ron, was at work in the Ministry, and Hermione stayed at the Burrow since she was only a week or so away from her due date, meaning the baby could come at any given moment. In the other room, Mrs. Weasley sat with Fleur, who had her young daughter, Victoire, sitting on her lap, Bill, Charlie, and George. Hermione sighed and tried to push herself out of the chair, but it appeared that she was stuck. She groaned and called, "Ginny!" Once more. Within a moment, the red-head bounced into the room with a grin on her face, bouncing a sleeping baby on her hip.

"Yes, Hermione?" Ginny asked, smiling at her friend, though keeping her tone down so she wouldn't wake up her son. Hermione didn't say anything, just held her hand out to Ginny with a frown on her face. Ginny chuckled and took Hermione's hand, pulling her up from the chair.

"I need to remember not to sit in that chair. It's like a vacuum, sucks you right up." Hermione muttered after Ginny had helped her to her feet. Hermione walked – or waddled rather – into the kitchen. She smiled and waved at her family members before she turned to walk up the stairs. Before she could, however, the silence between the group was broken by a splash sound, as if someone had dropped a water balloon. "What was that?" Hermione asked, turning around to find the source of the noise.

"That was you, Hermione! You're water broke!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed, walking up to her daughter-in-law. Hermione was sure that Mrs. Weasley was wrong, or, she was until she was in immense pain and let out a loud scream, reaching over to clutch the wall. Mrs. Weasley rushed to her side.

"Oh, Merlin, there's no time to get to St. Mungo's. We're going to have to do this here. Ginny, take the children upstairs. Charlie, George, help Hermione up into the spare bedroom. Bill, go to the Ministry and get Ron, Harry, and Arthur. Fleur, you stay down here and help me get things ready." Mrs. Weasley instructed quickly, and soon everyone was rushing to do as they were told.

Meanwhile, at the Ministry, Ron had just walked into Harry's office. "Are you done looking at the Spears' file?" He asked. Harry sighed and nodded, holding out the file so Ron could take it. When he had it in his possession, Ron turned around to leave just as Bill burst into the room. "Bill?" Ron asked, wondering what his brother was doing there.

"Oh, good, you're both here. You have to get back to the Burrow…now."

Ron immediately thought the worst. "Why? Is something wrong with Hermione? Did something – " Bill cut him off.

"No. No, everything's fine. But, she's having your baby right now, so you might want to be there." Ron's eyes grew wide and he dropped the folder he was holding.

"H-Having my…" He stuttered before he ran out of the room.

"Are you coming?" Harry asked, putting his coat on. Bill shook his head.

"I have to go find Dad first, then I'll be there." He told Harry before heading for the next floor.

Back at the Burrow, Hermione was laying on the bed while Mrs. Weasley got everything around her ready for the delivery, George and Charlie were in another room with Victoire and James – since they weren't really needed anymore – Ginny was holding Hermione's hand and helping her through the contractions, and Fleur was assisting Mrs. Weasley. "Hermione, your getting fairly close to your ten centimeters. I'd say you'll be ready to push within the next few minutes."

"No!" Hermione exclaimed in the middle of another contraction. Once it was over, she looked at Mrs. Weasley with pleading eyes. "I'm not having this baby until Ron gets here." Mrs. Weasley nodded. After all, she had had seven children, she knew the importance of having your husband there when you had your baby, especially your first.

They lapsed into a silence, which was only broken by Ron yelling, "Hermione!" searching the house frantically for his wife. Ginny disappeared from Hermione's side to go get him, and then he burst into the room, throwing his arms around Hermione. "Are you okay? The pain's not too bad is –" Hermione's scream of pain cut him off. He had a frightening flashback to their time in Malfoy Manor, but he reminded himself that he was there with her and he knew she would be okay.

"Okay, Hermione, on the next contraction, I need you to push, okay?" Mrs. Weasley said. Hermione nodded, hearing the faint voices of Harry and Mr. Weasley outside of the room.

"Harry!" Hermione called before her brother-in-law rushed into the room with a grin on his face. Hermione opened her mouth to speak, but she let out another scream again. Gripping both of her best friends hands, Hermione did as Mrs. Weasley instructed.

After what seemed like hours to Hermione, she heard Mrs. Weasley tell her that she would be done after one more push. Thanking Merlin that it was almost over, Hermione did and then collapsed back on the pillow. She heard the cry of a baby and tears filled her eyes. Ron kissed her forehead, telling her that she did wonderful, as Harry went to get Ginny. "Here's your daughter." Mrs. Weasley said, beaming with tears in her eyes as she handed a small bundle to Hermione.

"She's perfect." Hermione whispered, gently running her thumb over the babies cheek. "Look, she has red hair." She said, smiling up at her husband, whose eyes seemed to glisten with happy tears as well.

"Yup, she's definitely a Weasley." He said with a chuckle. Hermione lifted the crying baby up to Ron, who held out his arms to hold her. After a few more minutes of silence – except for the babies cries – the room was filled with their family members. Ron walked around the side of the bed, his eyes full of love and pride as he looked down at his daughter. "Everyone, meet Rose Elizabeth Weasley."
