On the third of June it was a Tuesday morning and Hermione was sitting up in bed and reading her book while Ron lay next to her rubbing his hands over her big bump, as their son was kicking and painfully.

"Ow," hissed Hermione. As her son gave a big kick inside her womb, Ron smiled slightly.

"I think little Jack here will be quite the Quidditch player," said Ron. Hermione narrowed her eyes at him but Ron wasn't noticing as he was smiling at Hermione's bump. Hermione then sighed; she really wanted to name her son Hugo but Ron still didn't think it fitted to Weasley. She might as well forget the name as Ron didn't want it and wasn't going to give up until his son was named Jack or Arthur or any other name on the list.

"-And then the crowd will cheer Jack Weasley and you'll fly around on your broomstick cheering with your Quidditch team, as you'll be the Quidditch captain," finished Ron. Hermione just started reading her book again with tears blurring her vision. After a little while Hermione got up, as in Ron's words 'little Jacky', was squeezing her bladder but as soon as she had stood up her waters broke.

"Ron, we need to go to St Mungo's," said Hermione. Ron shot up off his bed and collected Hermione's bag with supplies she would need at St Mungo's and pulled out of it the before birth portkey.

"I'll just go and get Rose," said Ron. Hermione nodded while sitting on the bed taking some deep breaths. Ron soon came back in with a sleeping Rose in his arms, Hermione picked up the portkey while Ron picked up the bag, in a soft swirl they arrived at the reception area in St Mungo's.

They went into the maternity ward and were taken into room twenty-five; Hermione got into bed with a gown on while Ron placed Rose on a chair and put the bag down on another chair.

"Good morning," Ron and Hermione looked at the door where Healer Diana Reed was entering the room.

"Hello," said Hermione, sweetly. Wanting some potions as she had just passed her first contraction.

"Good morning, well lets give you a check up and see how you're doing," said Diana. She went over to Hermione and Ron came to Hermione's side and held her hand.

"Well this little one is moving along quite quickly, your three centimetres already. How far apart have your contractions been?" asked Diana.

"Around four minutes," said Hermione. Healer Reed nodded her head.

"Ok, do you want some potions?" asked Diana and Hermione nodded her head. As Hermione took her potions, Ron went to go and alert the family that Hermione was in labour while Rose slept on.

"Rose has grown a lot since the last time I saw her," said Diana. Remembering the chaos that happened on New Years over two years ago, Hermione smiled and looked at the sleeping figure on the chair.

"She'll be growing until she's as tall as her father," said Hermione. The potion did its work and relaxed her.

"Do you have any ideas of what to call your son?" asked Diana. Hermione sighed.

"I want Hugo after my grandfather but Ron doesn't seem to think it goes with Weasley," said Hermione. Diana smiled.

"Don't worry, you'll agree on a name soon. I'll be back in half an hour for another check up," said Diana. Hermione nodded and rubbed her belly while watching Rose continuing to sleep. Ten minutes later the door opened and Harry, Ginny, James, Albus and Lily came into the room.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Harry asked, giving Hermione a kiss on the cheek. Rose had woken up and Ginny went to go and see to her while Albus and James stayed near their father.

"I'm fine, I've had a potion and I'm feeling better. Where's Ron?" asked Hermione.

"He's gone to get your parents," said Harry. Lily was asleep in her daddy's arms while Ginny picked up Rose and took her over to Hermione.

"Ok," said Hermione.

"Are you alright mommy?" Rose asked. Hermione smiled and took her out of Ginny's arms who then quickly went to get some ice chips for Hermione.

"I'm fine Rose, it's just your little brother wants to join the world today," said Hermione. Rose smiled.

"Little brother is coming now?" asked Rose, excitedly.

"Yes Rose, your little brother is coming now," said Hermione. As Ginny brought the ice chips over, Hermione thanked her and took some chips. Everyone in the Weasley family and her parent's came into see her once until Healer Reed came back in with mid-Healer's Brown and Green behind her.

"Well it's been two hours and a half, let's see how your doing now," said Diana. She had already checked on Hermione twice but hadn't been near ten centimetres. Ron was sitting next to Hermione's bed while Rose was out in the waiting room with the rest of her family.

"Ten centimetres," said Healer Reed. Hermione and Ron smiled at each other and they were both taken down to the delivery room. The other two Healers set up the equipment and Hermione got ready to push on the next contraction.

"Ok ready Hermione, push now," said Healer Brown. Hermione gave a scream as she pushed and pushed.

"Almost their love," said Ron. He kissed her forehead and Hermione pushed again. For another ten minutes Hermione pushed until she heard Healer Reed call out.

"The baby's crowning, one big final push Hermione, now," Hermione did and felt her baby leave her. Healer Green came over with some blankets to cover their baby in as Ron and Hermione looked down at Healer Reed to see their baby. Their baby was a boy being held in Healer Reed's arms, he didn't cry, he didn't move, he didn't even open his eyes.

"No…p-please don't tell m-me he's-," cried Hermione. Fearing the worse.

"I'm sorry," said Healer Reed, gently. Tears poured down Hermione's cheeks while Ron's eyes filled with tears as he stared sadly at his son. Healer Green wrapped their son in blankets and let Hermione hold him for a minute while Ron sat on the chair his face in his hands.

"P-please don't leave us," sobbed Hermione. Ron stood up with tears down his cheeks.

"I c-can't…I need…air," he choked out. He ran out the room with Healer Brown following him. Ron went out in the corridor and into the waiting room where all his family were waiting, they all looked up happily at him but their faces changed when they saw his tear stained saddened face.

"T-the…b-baby didn't m-make it," he sobbed.

Hermione watched as the door shut behind Healer Brown and she looked back down at her son who had dark brown hair on his head. Give her own heartbeat to him, to let him breath, to let him see, to let him move, she would do anything just to see those small eyes open and stare up at her.

Hermione remembered reading with Ginny when she was pregnant with Albus about a life swapping spell. More tears slid down Hermione's cheeks as she held her baby close to her chest. Give him my life; let him take my heartbeat, to give him a life of his own, she recited in her mind. Hermione felt her hands grow warm as she had them underneath her son, holding him. She felt her heart beating in her ears and slowly her son started to gain colour, not so much bluish grey anymore but soft pink skin.

"Mrs Weasley?" asked Healer Reed. She had seen this happen before, the mother to give up her life, to spare her child, it was advanced magic but usually happened. Hermione didn't hear Healer Reed shouting at her, to stop she just smiled when her son opened his blue eyes and let out a cry before her world went black.

"Bugger! Get Healer Brown, Simmons and Preice in here fast," said Healer Reed. Healer Green nodded and ran out the room. Diana went over to Hermione and quickly took the baby out of her arms and into the small cot; she quickly went back to Hermione as Healer Brown came back in.

Hermione would only have a few minutes until she was gone forever, Mid-Healer Brown put her wand to Hermione's heart trying to restart it while Healer Reed was finding the right potions to give Hermione.

Arthur came to Ron and Ron sobbed harder in his shoulder, Mid-Healer Brown came out into the waiting room staring sympathetically at the father. The family sat in chairs staring sadly at the floor. Anita came up to Mid-Healer Sarah Brown with a worried and sad expression on her face.

"Hermione, how's Hermione?" she asked, worried about her daughter. Before Sarah could answer Mid-Healer Marie Green came out.

"Sarah, emergency Mrs Weasley's done a life swap," said Marie.

"Bloody hell!" Was all Mid-Healer Brown said as she whipped out her wand and ran back down the corridor and to Hermione's room? As Marie turned around to follow her Ron grabbed her arm.

"What's happened?" He asked worried. The whole family looked at her matching Ron's worried expression.

"Mrs Weasley has done a life swap, so now your son is alive but your wife is dead. Were trying to bring her back round now. The wives do it because it's easier to restart an adults life than a new born without hurting it," said Mid-Healer Green. A white sheet of paper with orange dots on it would match Ron's face at the moment. He fell into a chair trying to breath, Rose ran up to him. Mid-Healer Green sent two patronus dolphins up the corridor and recorded her message and went back into Hermione's room.

"Daddy, mommy will be ok," said Rose. Ron raised his head and looked at her, he held out his arms and hugged Rose tightly letting his tears slip down his nose and into Rose's hair. They waited and the time ticked on, everyone sat around in the hallway some pacing while others stayed still. Finally Healer Reed came out of the double doors and into the waiting room and everyone looked at her.

"Mother and baby are both fine," she said. Everyone gave a huge sigh of relief; Ron got up and hugged Healer Reed. Later in the day Ron walked into Hermione's room, Mid-Healers Brown, Preice and Simmons had left the room and Mid-Healer Green was holding his son while Healer Reed had come back in with him to check on Hermione. She did that while Ron went over to Hermione's bedside and held her hand.

"We've given Hermione a sleeping drought, don't worry after plenty of rest Hermione will be in tiptop shape," said Healer Reed. Ron nodded and gazed at Hermione's sleeping figure.

"Mr Weasley do you want to hold your son?" asked Healer Green. Ron nodded and Healer Green walked over to him and handed him his son. Ron held him in his arms; a pair of dark blue eyes stared up at him while a hand came out the blanket reaching for Ron's nose. A tuft of brown hair rested on top of his head.

"Hello, I'm your daddy, I am…," said Ron. He looked at Hermione; he knew what name she wanted for him. Ron looked back down at his son and he realised who he was holding and how he knew he should never question his wife's answers because they were always right. In his arms was his son and his name fitted perfectly to the little bundle he was holding.

"…Hugo Ronald Weasley,"
