Chapter 3: Baby
'Push Hermione. It won't be long now.'
Finally it was time. It hurt, it hurt bad, but the day finally arrived. I would see my gift soon; Remus's gift would be here soon.
I had insisted on Sirius being here, I needed his strength to get through this. It was taking to long, I'm not sure how long, but I know it had been hours since I felt the first pain. He was here with me through it all. I was happy about that.
'One more, Hermione. One more and you'll get to meet mini moony.'
I laughed despite the pain. Mini moony, leave to Sirius to joke even at a time like this. It did make me feel better. One more push, I could do it, I had to. I pushed, I pushed with all my might, and I was rewarded.
Crying, I could hear it crying. Finally it was here. The gift. It's a boy I heard someone say.
'Told you so' Came Sirius voice from next to me. 'You did good.'
He was here, Remus son was finally here. I watched as the doctors handed him to me. I pulled back the blanket covering his face. He was beautiful. Blue eyes, his father's eyes.
I could feel the tears on my face, but these tears where happy tears.
'He is beautiful Hermione, perfect.'
I nodded my head, he was perfect. He even had a bit of light brown hair on his small head.
'I'm going to get Harry; he will want to meet him.'
I watched as Sirius left. He ran out of them room. He was just as happy as I was. He had been waiting for his arrival as well.
Small fingers encircled mine. Perfect tiny fingers. I could hear the door opening again. I couldn't tell who it was, I didn't care I was to bust staring at my gift.
'He is beautiful Hermione'
I heard Harry's voice say in my ear. He sounded happy, so was I.
'Sirius do you wish to hold him'
I watched as Sirius made his way back towards me, he carefully lifted the small bundle from my arms. I watched as he smiled down at him, he was happy.
I watched as tears fell from his eyes, he slowly handed him to Harry. Smiling the whole time.
Harry was smiling as well; he carefully took him into his arms and started rocking him back and forth. He belonged to all of us, Remus didn't know it when he left, but he had actually left us all a gift.
'What is his name, Hermione?'
I looked towards Harry who was still holding him. A name, I never thought that far ahead, I didn't have an answer.
'I don't know I haven't thought of one. Why don't you two name him for me.'
'Are you sure Hermione, He is your son.'
'No Sirius he is our son' I indicated him, myself and Harry. I could see him fighting back his tears at my words. Harry looked in awe.
'I think I have a perfect name'
I watched as he walked towards Harry and whisper something in his ear. Harry smiled and nodded his head yes.
'How does, James Moony Lupin sound to you'
'It sounds prefect, Sirius.'
Harry handed James back to me, it was prefect. Remus would of liked it, I know he would of. Liked it. My little James Moony Lupin.
I heard Sirius say he had something he had to take care of and that he would return shortly. He gave me a kiss on my head and left us. Harry moved to sit next to me. I smiled at him, he smiled back.
I could feel myself getting sleepy, I handed a sleeping James to Harry. I watched behind half closed eyes as he softly laid him down in the bassinet proved by the hospital. He smiled once more at James, before returning to my side.
'Sleep Hermione, I will be here when you awake.'
With one final nod, I slowly feel asleep, happy that my gift had finally arrived.
James Moony Lupin.
