Hermione, Mrs. Granger, and Mr. Granger sat thinking of possible names for the baby girl. Each time some one said a different name, however, it was shot down by one of the others.

"How about we name her Savannah Catherine Granger?" Mr. Granger suggested.

"That's my sister's name, honey. If we call the baby Savannah while my sister is over, nobody will know who we're talking to," Mrs. Granger replied.

"What about Heather Lacey?" Hermione asked.

"Why do you like that name?" her father asked.

"Because my best friend has that name," she replied simply.

"Then wouldn't that be mean to name your sister the name of your best friend?" he asked.

"I guess…" she trailed off. A few more minutes passed with no new name suggestions.

"What about the name Ashley Lynn?" her mother suggested.

"No!" Hermione exclaimed, coming out of her deep-thought.

"Why not?" her father asked.

"Because this girl in my class has that name and I hate her!"

"Hermione Jane Granger, you're four years old. You should not be saying that you hate anyone!" her parents exclaimed together.

"Sorry," she replied, hanging her head. The family went back to thinking and after five minutes, Mrs. Granger had another name that she hoped would go over well.

"How about the name Hope Adelphie?" she asked.

"I like that name, honey," Mr. Granger replied, his face lighting up.

"What does that name mean?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Hope means 'hope' and Adelphie means 'dearest sister'. I think it fits her perfectly."

"So do I," the other two agreed.

Just as the family finished discussing the newest addition's name, the doctors brought her in along with the birth certificate to sign.

"Here is your beloved daughter," the doctor said, handing Mrs. Granger Hope gently. "Have you all decided on a name yet?"

"Yes we have," Hermione answered matter-of-factly. "Her name is Hope Adelphie. Hope means 'hope' and Adelphie means 'dearest sister'!"

"Well, don't we know a lot!" the doctor said, smiling down at Hermione.

"My mummy told me what they mean!"

"Oh! Well, that name is beautiful. And it fits this tiny ball of sunshine perfectly. She weighs 4 lbs. 6 oz. and she is 17" long. You all are a lucky family."

Mrs. Granger looked down and smiled at Hope. She was just happy to have her family together. Hermione and Hope's grandparents walked into the room and smiled. Mr. Granger's mother was carrying a camera, obviously hoping to get a picture of the whole Granger family together. Hermione's mother was grateful for this.

They asked the nurse to take a picture of them together and she did it cheerfully. Then, the grandparents took pictures of different groupings.

After the general loudness had died down, the grandparents decided to head home and allow Hermione to get some sleep. Hermione's grandfather picked her up off the bed and carried her out the door. Hermione laid her head down on her grandfather's shoulder and was asleep by the time they reached the ground floor of the hospital.

Mr. and Mrs. Granger shared their joy with each other and enjoyed the time they had with their newborn daughter. A few minutes after the others had left, however, an unexpected complication occurred.

I decided to delay the sad news until the next chapter. I changed the name from what I was originally going to use because I thought this one was more unique. I hope you like, because I want a couple of more reviews until the bad news comes out. I'm mean like that!
