Chapter 10:
Welcome to the World
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
"At four in the morning on August tenth after nineteen hours of labor, Peter Noah Weasley was born to Ron and Hermione Weasley. This bouncing baby boy weighs six pounds four ounces and is twenty seven inches long. He has shocking red hair like his father and his mother's warm brown eyes." Ginny said into the phone to Hermione's parents upon Hermione's request that they be called. It was the morning of Peter's birth and Harry and Ginny were in the waiting room while Ron and Hermione spent some quality time with their son. After Ginny hung up the phone she and Harry went into Hermione's room to visit a bit more.
"Well who won the Cup?" Ron asked when Harry and Ginny walked into the room.
"Bulgaria" Ginny said sourly and Ron made a disgusted face while Hermione let out a cheer.
"No son of mine will be a Bulgarian quidditch fan. Mark my words." Ron said as he looked at Peter.
"Oh he'll pay no attention to you I'm sure." Hermione giggled.
"Yes, I imagine he'll be a mum's boy." Ron sighed with a grin on his face.
"Thank heaven for that" Harry said from his place beside Ginny.
"Can I hold him?" Ginny asked and Hermione held out her son to his aunt.
"Ginny, what's that on your finger?" Ron asked when he noticed Ginny's outstretched hand was sparkling.
"Oh, it's my engagement ring!" Ginny squealed and the room exploded with cheers and laughter.
"When did you do it?" Hermione asked Harry with a smirk on her face.
"Oh around one this morning. I was antsy and couldn't wait any longer so I asked ."
"And I said yes" Ginny added.
"Well, isn't today just a lovely day then?" Hermione asked as Ginny placed Peter back in her arms. He was sleeping quietly, content and at peace with his small little world. Hermione was overcome with a wave of emotion. She didn't know she could posses so much love for someone she didn't even know. This was the beginning of a beautiful life to be filled with love and laughter and all the good things that make living worthwhile. As she stared at her son's sleeping face she felt Ron put his hand on her shoulder. They were a happy little family, lost in that moment that would begin a new life and add a happy memory to two very fulfilled ones.
Fin.
A/N: I hope you all liked this sequel to The Trials and Tribulations of Becoming Us! I currently have four other fanfictions that I plan to be working on, so it should be a very full summer for us all. Thanks for reading!
