The first two trimesters went along smoothly. When there were two weeks left in the third trimester Hermione was at Ginny's when she suddenly doubled over in pain.
"Hermione, are you all right," she asked panicked.
"No, Ginny, I don't know what's wrong," she said.
Another sharp pain hit Hermione and she looked at Ginny with pleading eyes. She took Hermione by the shoulders and guided her to a chair. She sat her down and said,
"Is that any better?"
"No, it worse in fact," she said.
Ginny said,
"Let's go to the Mediwitch. I think there might be something wrong with your babies."
"What," she asked with fear in her eyes.
"Yes, your babies," Ginny replied.
"Ginny, just find me help," she said.
Ginny nodded her head and they apparated to the hospital. Hermione was quickly taken to a room to be examined. During that time Ginny apparated to the Burrow to tell Mrs. Weasley about Hermione's current situation. Mrs. Weasley flew into a panic and left the babies with Fleur. She immediately notified Ron so he could be there as well. Soon all three were back at the hospital awaiting news about Hermione. The nurse soon returned and said,
"She's fine it's just that she went into early labor. Now the babies are fine. At least the two girls are, but the boy is, at the moment, being watched and monitored closely. He wasn't nearly as ready to be born. At the moment he's on a respirator."
"But he will be all right," Ron asked.
"We're 95% sure that he will be all right," she replied.
"But you're leaving a 5% window open," Ron said.
"Yes, but a very slim 5% sir," she replied.
"Can I see her for a moment," Ron asked.
"Yes, you may," she said.
Ron left and walked as fast as he could to Hermione's room. He found her there with a tired but worried expression on her face. As soon as she saw Ron she immediately began to cry. Ron pulled her close and said,
"Hermione, are you all right?
"Ron…I…I'm scared for our son."
"They said they are 95% sure he'll make it."
"What about that other 5%," she asked.
"I'm not worrying about that unless we will have to, but I'm doubting we
will," he said.
Hermione smiled at him and said,
"Would you like to meet your daughters?"
"Yes, I would love that," he said.
Hermione nodded at the nurse in the room and she brought Hermione the two girls.
"Ron I would like you to meet Serena May Weasley and Whitney Elizabeth Weasley."
"And our son's name," he asked softly.
"Well…I thought I'd let you name him," she whispered.
"Well…how about Brandon Rivers Weasley," he said.
"That's a wonderful name. Just one question where did the name Rivers come from," she asked.
"Lead singer from some muggle band," he said.
"Hermione, I love you," he said.
"I love you too," she replied.
"I'm sure our son will be fine," he said.
"I hope so," she said.
"He will, trust me," he said.
She nodded her head, looked out the window and said a silent prayer.
