Chapter 29

The next day it is time to go shopping with Pansy's mother after postponing it after Ginny giving birth. We put a charm on Daniella so she doesn't get sick going out in public. When we first meet up with Pansy's Mother she raves for 5 minutes on how cute the baby is. She insists we go into a baby store. She buys her a little jumper with violets all over it. "I want her to know that her Auntie Violet bought her first piece of clothing!" Violet Parkinson says. We shop around some more with all our mothers buying Daniella a new wardrobe, charming our favorite items to grow with her. "So Adrie dear, Pansy tells me you had a miscarriage..." Violet starts. "Mother!" Pansy yells. "What?" Violet asks. "It's ok dearie most pureblooded women have trouble with pregnancy." Mrs. Weasley says taking her turn pushing the carriage. As we walk and talk people stop us on the street to look at the baby. "Well I'm Veela and Nymph having a baby is supposed to be easy. We apparently pop out babies like twice a year." I say. "Oh so like a Weasley?" Violet says. "Mother!" Pansy yells at her mother again. "It's alright dear we Weasley's aren't so inbreed so it's easy for us to have children. Just wait until you and my Ronald start having children. You will have no trouble." she says with a coy smile. "Anyway...so Adrie how do you know how to deliver a baby?" Pansy asks. "Well I delivered my 2 cousins who are going to be my flower girls, Abrielle and Megan. I also delivered my cousin Arella's baby, who is now 6 months old." I say. "Wait 6 months ago you were 16!" Hermione exclaims in shock. "Well Abrielle is 5 and Megan is 3." I say shrugging like it's no big deal. "You were 12 when you first delivered a baby!" Hermione exclaims again. "Well yes." I say. "That must be an interesting story!" Narcissa says sitting down at the table in the restaurant we finally came to. "Yes my Adrie is a special girl." my mother says. "Please tell us what happened dearie." Mrs. Weasley says.

Flashback:

"Oh Aunt Adalyn you look stunning!" I said. "I'm 3 weeks late of the baby's due date. I'm a whale!" Aunt Adalyn wailed. "Oh Darling you are fine. Why don't we have some spicy tea to get that baby out?" Mother said. "I've already tried that!" she continued to wail. "Well you're just in luck I brought a special water nymph spice that stimulates birth." Auntie Gia said. "Ok how do I take it?" Aunt Adalyn asked. "Just add it to food." Auntie Gia said handing the container of spice to Aunt Adalyn. We moved into the dining room for tea and cookies. Aunt Adalyn sprinkled the spice on a cookie before taking a bit. After 5 minutes of talking Aunt Adalyn let out a scream. "What's wrong?!" my mother asked. "The baby is coming!" Aunt Adalyn screamed. "But it's supposed to come tomorrow that's how the spice works!" Auntie Gia said. "Well it's coming now!" Aunt Adalyn yelled. "Quick we need to get to the hospital!" Aunt Claire said heading to the Floo network. "No time...ahhhh...it's coming now!" she screamed. "Then one of us needs to go to St. Mungos and get the medi-witch." Auntie Gia said. "She's too young to go alone!" my mother exclaimed. "I'll stay with Aunt Adalyn." I volunteered. "Yes! The baby won't come in the next 10 minutes." Aunt Claire said dragging Auntie Gia and Mother to the Floo. "Ahhhhhhh!" Aunt Adalyn screamed 5 minutes later. I helped her onto the table and saw the baby's head trying to push its way out. "It's coming sweetie! You're gonna have to deliver it!" Aunt Adalyn screamed. "What do I do?!" I asked. "Ok I'm going to push after you count to 3 repeatedly and the baby will come out. You help pull the baby out. When it's out cut the cord." she said trying to do breathing exercises. "Cut it with what?!" I asked frantically. She reached behind her and grabbed a silver butter knife. "Use this...ahhh!" she said getting cut off. "Ok ok...1...2...3!" I said. She pushed and the head came out. After she pushed 3 more times the baby came out. I cut the cord with the knife and wrapped the baby in the cloth napkins as best I could. Mother, Aunt Claire and Auntie Gia came back through the Floo with the Medi-witch in toe. "Ok where is the mother?" the Medi-witch asked. "Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" the baby wailed. "Oh my gods! The Baby!" Mother exclaimed shocked. "What? But how?" Auntie Gia asked. "Adrienne delivered Abrielle." Aunt Adalyn said with a smile. "Oh it's a girl! Congratulation!" Aunt Claire exclaimed. "You did a very good job young lady! You might have a future in delivering babies!" the Medi-witch exclaimed after looking over the baby.

"And that's how I delivered my first baby." I say. All the women excluding mother have shocked looks on their face. "That's amazing Adrie!" Hermione exclaims. "So do you think you will become a Medi-witch specializing in delivering babies?" Mrs. Weasley asks. "I don't know. I never thought about it really. I guess I'll be a stay at home mom now that I'm with Draco." I say. "Oh no darling, do what you want! I listened to Lucius and became a stay at home mom. While I loved staying home with Draco after he went to school I had nothing to do." Narcissa says with a sad faraway look. "I didn't know you had other dreams other than to be a stay at home mom!" Mrs. Weasley says shocked. "Oh yes I wanted to be the owner of a fashion boutique and be the designer too." she says with a sad smile. We are silent for a moment and I notice the mothers including mine are thinking, probably about what they would have liked to do. "You should do it." I finally say. "You really think so?" she says. "Yes. Draco will be leaving the house soon and Lucius always is busy with business. It's not far that you don't have something to do." I say. "I always wanted to own a shop too. Maybe we can open one together." Violet suggests. "You could call it The Flower Shop. You know because both your names are flowers." Hermione says. "That sound like a wonderful idea!" Narcissa says beaming. "I'm going to open a bakery and call it Weasley's Sweets and Treats!" Mrs. Weasley says out of nowhere. "That's a great idea mom!" Ginny says taking Daniella out to breast feed. "I think I'm going to open an underwater apothecary for special medicine used by nymphs." Auntie Gia says. "Uhhh might want to put a warning on the labels about how they work faster on non-nymphs." Mother says with a laugh. "How was I supposed to know it would take affect right away on nymphs it takes a day!" she says trying to defend herself. "Hahaha!" we all laugh as she huffs. "What does it matter? You don't have children." my mother says after calming down. "I might soon...I've been seeing someone." she says with a shy smile. "Oh Auntie Gia that would be great!" I exclaim. "Thank you sweetie!" she says giving me a hug. "I think it's time to go to our respective homes and get some good nights of rest before the wedding in 2 days." mother says getting up from the table. We all walk to the Floo network in Gringotts to go to our homes.
