Title: When You See A Guy Reach For Stars in the Sky
Author: Lia06
Summary: Katie Bell and Oliver Wood have been best friends since their first year. (I know they're not really in the same year but I'm changing that to suit my purposes. They are both four years older than Harry.) Ever since fourth year, Oliver has had just a tiny crush on Katie. Katie likes him too but she thinks he doesn't like in that way. So she starts dating Roger Davies but then she sees him cheating on her with Cho Chang and things get really confusing. Oliver is telling this story to their unborn child while Katie is in labor. I'll make times and dates as clear as I can.
Rating: PG-13 (mostly for language, watch Katie's mouth when she's in labor. It isn't going to be pretty. I'll try to smack her for y'all though.)
Prologue
April 26, 2000 10:18 PM at the Wood residence in London
Oliver Wood was sitting at his desk in his study going over some paperwork. After marrying Katie Bell, he had retired from professional Quidditch to work as an Auror. One thing he'd never known about being an Auror was all the bloody paperwork that came with it. Katie was a mediwitch at St. Mungo's and eight and a half months pregnant with the couple's first child.
"Oliver!" his wife yelled from their bedroom down the hall. "Oliver, come here now! The baby is coming now!"
Oliver threw his quill down and ran to his bedroom. Katie was lying on the bed, clutching her stomach and moaning. "My water just broke!" she moaned. "We need to get to the hospital now!"
Oliver nodded. "We'll apparate."
A minute later, they were in the lobby of the maternity ward of St. Mungo's. Oliver hurried his wife over to the nurses' station. Since Katie worked on this floor, the nurse immediately recognized them. "I'll call Dr. Kensington and get you checked in," she said. "Come with me."
Once Katie was checked in and settled, Dr. Kensington came in. "All right, folks, you'll want to settle in for a long night. Katie, because this is your first child, this labor is probably going to take a long time."
Katie gritted her teeth and nodded. Once Oliver and Katie were alone again, Katie said, "Oliver, do something to distract me. Tell the baby and me a story."
Oliver nodded. "All right, I'll tell the baby the story of how you and I ended up together." He cleared his throat. "It all started on September 1, thirteen years ago…"
A/N: I think this is the shortest chapter I've ever written but that's okay. I'll keep working on this and my other HP fic. Review please!
