CHAPTER ONE-WELCOME, JAMES.
"So where do you want to go out tonight, Teddy?" Harry asked the blue haired child sitting on the sofa next to him.
"Well, I could sure go for some pizza, Harry!" Teddy replied with a grin, pizza was his favorite muggle food.
"Ah, I should've known, you do love your pizza" Harry said, sounding amused at the seven year olds wish. "I wonder what is taking Ginny so long?" Harry questioned aloud. At that moment a woman's scream could be heard, Harry jumped up, immediately recognizing it as his wife's voice. The screaming continued, "HARRY!" the voice called repeatedly.
Harry was stampeding through the house, and up the stairs to the master bedroom, he flung the door open to find his pregnant wife on the floor breathing harshly. "Oh, Harry, I think the baby is coming, NOW!" she said, emphasizing the now as a breathtaking cramping sensation hit her body.
Harry shakily hurried over to his wife and scooped her up in his arms, rushing to grab ahold of Teddy he apparated on the spot to St Mungos.
"Help! My wife is in labor!" He shouted over the noise of the entrance way. With no response Harry was growing impatient, "God dammit, I AM HARRY FUCKING POTTER, GET MY WIFE A ROOM ALREADY!" Harry was clearly in a panic state. The whole room froze and stared at the booming sound. "WELL? COME ON NOW!" Harry urged as the whole room had been frozen in a stupor. At that the room came to life and a large group of healers came and hurried to get the Potters situated. Harry let them take his wife to a room before turning to Teddy. Before Harry could speak, Teddy said in a scared voice, "Harry…are Ginny and the baby going to be okay?" Harry could tell he was about to cry and he scooped the boy up into a hug. "Oh, Teddy Bear, Yes, they are both going to be fine. The baby just decided it was time that he came to meet us all." Harry tried to explain, hoping to calm the young child down. "Do you want to stay here? Or would you rather go back to Grandma's house?" Harry asked the child in a calm, quiet voice.
After sniffling and regaining his voice, he managed to answer Harry's question with a one worded response, "Here," Harry carried the child to the waiting room across from the maternity ward. Sitting the child in a chair, Harry grabbed his wand and after the use of a silent spell, a glowing, white, stag appeared. "Ron, Hermione, Ginny has gone into labor. I have Teddy here, we are outside the maternity ward, come a.s.a.p." And away the stag went to carry the message.
Harry took a seat next to Teddy. He was still wiping away a few stray tears when an arm came around his shoulder, he leaned into Harry. They sat like this for a few minutes before Hermione and Ron appeared. Harry stood and kissed Hermione on the cheek, and gave Ron a sort of hug. "Hey guys, I know you just got here, but could you sit with Teddy? I didn't want to leave him while he was so distressed." Harry pleaded.
"Oh, Harry of course. We'd be delighted to. Congrats by the way," Hermione answered enveloping Harry into a hug.
"Yeah, sure mate," Ron added with a grin.
Harry rushed through the doors of the maternity ward where Ginny was sitting with a very drowsy loop on her face, the healer by the bed informed him that she had a calming drought and a pain killing potion to relax and take some of the pain of the contractions away, also telling him that the baby could be ready within the hour. Harry took a seat by the hospital bed and grabbed Ginny's hand. "Hey, babe, how are you holding up?" Harry asked stoking the back of her hand with his thumb.
"Oh I'm good, like, really good!" She said with a serious tone and a hint of a smile on her face. "I can't believe we finally get to meet our son." She added as her smile grew.
"It's such a happy day, I hope Ron has told the family, that's why it took me so long to get in here by the way, I couldn't leave Teddy out there alone while he was so distraught." Harry told his dazed wife, "He was very concerned you should know."
A look of mild discomfort came across her face, but it slowly transformed into a more intense pain and Harry called for the healer's attention. The baby was coming.
