The Birth
Hermione arrived home from work promptly at 5pm she smiled slightly as she remembered that was the compromise she made with Ron. After the near miscarriage early in this pregnancy Ron had become super cautious wanting to her stop work straight away and stay at home. Eventually after a lot of fights and a long discussion with her doctor it was agreed that she would continue to work until her eighth month as long as she took regular breaks during the day and was home by 5pm.
Hermione was now in her seventh month and the baby was moving around continually. Suddenly she doubled over as she felt a strong pain in her back. She had been feeling off all day and had been wondering if she should go on leave early. Sitting down she thought she'd close her eyes for a minute while waiting for Ron to arrive home from picking up her mum. Next thing she knew was hearing Ron's voice as if through a thick fog calling out to her. She tried to open her eyes and lift her arms however it felt like something heavy sitting on her chest and she could barely move.
Hermione could faintly hear Ron's panicked voice screaming there's too much blood and it's too early and calling out for her to open her eyes. She felt oddly removed from reality as she heard people calling out various things, she could vaguely hear Ron demanding to know what they were doing and why they weren't helping her and to move out of the way. Hermione thought that she should try to reassure Ron, however she found that she didn't have enough energy and couldn't be bothered. She was just wondering how odd this was when she heard her mum's voice softly comforting Ron and slowly drawing him away and then the last thing she remembered, just as everything went black, was hearing a newborn's weak cry.
Ron stood at bed in shock there was blood and equipment everywhere. Something had gone wrong and Hermione's heart had stopped and they'd had to restart it. He'd barely heard the healer explain what they had done and how his son was, as he stared at his wife looking so pale and still in that bed. Suddenly he looked at the healer as he heard him say 'I'm sorry Mr Weasley we've done all we can for the moment the rest is up to Hermione'.
