I groaned in frustration, helping Josey down on the bed, and Molly helped me change her into a nightgown.

"How far apart are your contractions?" I asked her.

She squeezed her eyes shut, "From when you began taking me up the stairs and then just now."

"Five minutes, then," I calculated. "Molly, pull her hair back. And try to keep her from, well, passing out."

Josey gave a whimper of fear, "I'm scared."

"You'll do fine," I said calmly to her. "I have faith you can do this. You've done it before. You know what to do."

"But-But what if I die! Like this one girl she started to bleed too much-"

"I'm a professional healer, Josey," I interrupted. "I'm trained in this. I've delivered countless of werewolf children before. This will be no different at all."

She whimpered once more, "But-"

"It'll be fine," I whispered. I took her hand tightly in my grasp, "There's nothing to worry about."

I left her with Molly as I sprinted down the stairs, nearly crashing into a few people that were at the bottom.

"What's going on?"

"Josey's giving birth and I need to find the proper potions," I snapped, pulling out of my father's grip. I pulled open cabinet drawers in the kitchen, trying to find any pain relief potions, anything at all. But I found none.

I nearly screamed in frustration as I slammed the cabinet shut and dug around in a medicine drawer. Nothing. All the boys in the house and no pain relief potion?

Not even a period relief one?

Anything would be helpful.

But nothing.

I slammed the drawer shut and blew past the Death Eaters that were watching me work around. I grabbed Ginny's arm as she started to climb the stairs, "Do you have any pain relief-"

A cry cut me off, and I winced. Josey had to be having her worst contractions now.

"Pain relief potions?" I asked her, breathless.

"No, I-"

"Anything? I don't care what it is. Cramp reliever? Even headache-"

She shook her head, "No, I buy my stuff from the twins when I get my period-"

I groaned, "Your mother? Any one? What about Bill's-"

"At the house," she interrupted. "He took them with you when he was allowed to leave."

I groaned, "I find it hard to beleive no one in this house even has a Muggle form of medicine."

She sent me an apologetic smile and I sighed, "Alright, do you know how to brew one?"

She hesitated, "Um... I can try."

"Not good enough," I sighed. I ran a hand through my hair, "Alright..." I spun around to face the entourage of three Death Eaters. "I need one wand. I will give it back after the baby is given the proper diagnostic spells and such. I'll..." I hesitated as I said this because it was very hard for me to allow this to happen, "I'll let Miss Lestrange stay in the room to make sure I don't let her run, or anyone run."

Bellatrix shot me a look of distaste, "I will not-"

"She, or the baby, can die without a wand," I interrupted. "And I highly doubt you want the Dark Lord's interest to die on your watch."

She snarled, "She better be quick."

She withdrew a wand from her robes and I recognized it as my own. "No guarantees," I said breathlessly. "Thanks," I muttered, taking it from her hand carefully, before turning and rushing up the stairs.

I could hear her heels clicking behind me. I made sure to give Josey an easy smile as I entered. "Miss Lestrange will be making sure we don't run," I informed Josey as she gave the woman a wide-eyed look.

Bellatrix shot her a look of disdain and leaned against the far wall, picking her nails.

"Her contractions are closer," Molly told me.

"Good," I said, giving Josey's hand a squeeze. I waved my wand over her midsection, seeing she was indeed in labor. My fingers felt along her abdomen and I nodded to myself as I went through procedure.

"Now, I need you to take a deep breath," I told the girl. "You remember this from last time?"

She nodded, "I'm scared."

"You'll be fine," I insisted. "All you have to do is push when I say."

"But, what if I do something wrong, or-"

"Josey," I said forcefully, taking her hand and making her look at me. I sent her a meaningful look, "You'll be just fine. Just breathe."

She nodded slowly, "You'll tell me what to do?"

"Yes," I gave her a soft smile. "I'll tell you exactly what to do."

She nodded, "Okay... okay, I can do this."

"You can," I agreed. I let go of her hand and gave a sigh of relaxation. "Now, you need to relax."

But she stiffened instead, looking over my shoulder.

I followed her gaze to see Greyback with his arms crossed, watching the scene.

"You need to leave," I said immediately.

"No."

"Yes," I returned. "She needs to relax. If she doesn't, she could-"

"I'm aware of what could happen-"

"The cub could die," I shot. "So you really want to risk that? Leave. You'll be informed when it's over."

He sneered in disgust, "No."

I glared at him, "I deal with werewolves far scarier than you on a daily basis. Either sit outside or leave completely."

"No-"

Josey cried out as she turned on her side, only her shoulders and head, clutching Molly's own hand with two of hers.

I groaned, "Stubborn werewolves! Eugh, I can't exactly threaten you with no wolfsbane when you don't even take it."

"I stay."

"Then you get out of her eyesight and you remain so quiet that not even a mouse can hear you," I shot to him.

I gently pulled Josey onto her back and wiped some hair from her forehead, "Breathe," I instructed gently. "In... Out... there you go. Just keep breathing."

"It hurts."

"I know," I soothed. "You can do this, remember? Really fast. You won't even know how long it was."

She gave a choked sob as another contraction hit her. She was close.

I set up a few towels by Josey's feet and a soft blanket I always carried with me just in case.

"Okay, are you ready?" I asked Josey as I kneeled before the bed.

She shook her head.

"Okay, on your contraction, push," I told her. "As hard and as long as you can."

"O-okay," she said shakily. I could tell she was terrified.

"No pain potion?" Greyback asked.

I shot him a look of fury, "Shut up. No, we don't have any. Didn't you hear me at all?" I turned to Josey. "Okay, I know it's going to hurt. But the faster it hurts, the faster it'll end."

She whimpered, but nodded, "Okay... okay."

"The first time you did this, did you have a pain relief?" I asked her.

She shook her head, "No... no."

"Good, then you'll know what to expect," I said in relief. "Okay, ready?"

The breath she took told me she was.
