In the following weeks Ron and Hermione's doubt gradually faded away. It was very early in the morning when Ron was awakened by Hermione's voice yelling in agony. He snapped awake and said,
"Hermione is it time?"
All she could do was nod her head and moan in agony. Ron jumped out of bed helped Hermione to her feet and they immediately flooed to the hospital and Hermione was immediately taken to the delivery room. Ron apparated to Harry's and notified them. Harry and Ginny jumped out of bed and before they left Ginny said,
"Ron who will be here to watch Hailey and Jonathan?"
"I could ask Fleur," he said.
"Thank you, let me know if she can't and I will come back," she said.
"I will," he said.
Before they knew it the ward was filled with the Weasleys' and their wives once more minus Fleur. Ron was pacing and a nervous wreck. Harry smiled and was happy that he had been able to keep his nerves in check during Ginny's delivery. After a solid hour and a half of waiting the nurse finally came out and informed Ron that he should go see Hermione. Ron followed her to Hermione's room and found Hermione lying in bed looking exhausted but happy. She smiled when she saw him and said,
"Ron, meet your twin son and daughter."
The nurse handed Ron his son and Hermione her daughter.
"What are their names," he asked.
"Well our son's name is Kristopher Allen Weasley and our daughter's name is Alexandria Rose Weasley," she replied.
"Those are wonderful names," he said.
Hermione looked up at Ron and said,
"We're parents, can you believe it?"
"Not really, but I think we're ready," she said.
"I know we're ready," he said.
Hermione smiled at that and said,
"Go tell everyone else."
Ron left to go tell the family and left Hermione there with Kristopher and Alexandria. Hermione looked down at both of the beautiful babies in her arms and smiled. When Ron walked out back into the ward and told everyone his mother began to cry and so did every other woman in the room. Harry walked over to him and said,
"Ready to be a parent?"
"Yes, it looks so easy," he said.
"Ron, just think sleepless nights and changing diapers, that doesn't sound easy to me," he said.
"Sleepless night," he asked.
Harry just nodded his head and said,
"Yes."
Ron shook his head and left to go talk to the others. After he had been congratulated by everyone in the room he went back to Hermione's room. When he re-entered he found her staring at the newborns. He walked over next to her and said,
"We're a family now Hermione."
She smiled at the comment and silently agreed.
