Harry Potter: College Years

Chapter 14: The Birth

A/N: As you can see, I've made Padma a main character, so this is her chapter.

Hermione cuddled next to her new husband and sighed happily. They were in a romantic gondola on the Venice waterway. Harry smiled and wrapped his arms around her.

"This is so romantic" she said happily. He smiled and kissed her forehead. A small ring made them come out of fantasy. Harry rolled his eyes and pulled out his cell phone.

"Hello?"

"Harry, it's Lily" Lily's voice sounded urgent. Hermione looked questionly at Harry.

"Lils? Is everything alright?" Harry said, sounding urgent.

"No Padma is in labor!" Lily cried.

"Oh my god, but we can't come home yet!" Harry said almost in hysterics.

"I know, I know hope you guys have a great honeymoon. We're at the hospital now, see you in two months!" Lily said, and the line went dead. Harry hung up and looked at Hermione.

"What?" she asked.

"Padma's in labor."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Meanwhile at the hospital...

Terry wheeled Padma into the hospital and up to a nurse.

"Terry and Padma Boot" Terry said. The nurse flipped through her list.

"Ah yes. Mrs. Boot you weren't supposed to come until next week, but I'm sure we can fit you in a room. Follow me," she said and they followed her to a room with a bed and a TV in it. Padma clutched her stomach and groaned.

"Oh. it hurts!" she said, tears forming in her eyes. Terry grabbed her hand and squeezed it. The nurse helped her into the bed, and measured how far dilated she was.

"Well Padma, you're 4 centimeters dilated already. I'll be back in awhile to check on you" the nurse said then left the room. Padma sighed and fell back onto her pillows. There was a knock on the door and Mr. and Mrs. Patil came in followed by Mr. and Mrs. Boot.

"Good we found you! Are you alright darling?" Mrs. Patil asked.

"Alright, I'm four centimeters at the moment"

"Wow," Mr. Boot said, causing a murmur of giggles to break out.

A half-hour later, the nurse (now known as Tia) came in.

"Hello Padma. Let's get you measured," Tia said. Padma suddenly winced.

"Owwww" she moaned as another contraction took over. Tia measured her and smiled.

"Well dear, you are 10 centimeters dilated."

"Oh thank you God!" she said happily.

"We need to get you into the delivery section," Tia said, and helped Padma into a wheelchair. Terry followed, leaving Lavender, Lily, Draco, Ron, Parvati, Dean, the Patils and the Boots in suspense.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Alright Padma, push!" Doctor Moore said. Padma pushed forward with all her strength. She ay back and took deep breaths.

"It's head is almost out, come on dear you can do it!" Tia said. Padma pushed.

"OOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Padma screeched. A small baby screamed.

"It's a girl!" Doctor Moore said, holding up the pink baby. Padma started crying with happiness as he put the baby in her arms. Terry kissed the girl's forehead, then Padma.

"Have you got a name?" Tia asked them.

"Yes. Nicole Alicia Boot," Padma and Terry told her, smiling at their newborn. Tia smiled and left them admiring the new addition to the Boots.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hi!" Lavender called softly, coming in with Ron Draco Lily Parvati and Dean. Lily looked at the sleeping baby.

"She's adorable! I want one!" she said, smiling at Draco. He laughed softly.

"Thank you. This is Nicole Alicia, or Nikki," Terry said, stroking the baby's head softly. They all smiled at Nikki. Nikki suddenly woke up and started gurgling.

"Well it looks like she's hungry," Mrs. Patil said, who had come in with the others.

"It's what you two did when you were newborns," Mr. Patil agreed, placing a hand on his wife's shoulder. The others left the twosome to admire their nursing baby.
