Tossing and turning at night made it hard for Hermione to sleep. Sitting on her mothers couch, leg propped up on the table and reading a magazine, she felt old. She always slept horribly but now that she was back home she couldn't sleep any better.

Ron and Harry came to stay with her for the summer, to help her through the birth. She would have mild contractions, and know she too felt that she would give birth early. She set down the magazine and closed her eyes.

She often wondered where Draco was or what he was doing, if he was dead or alive. She told him to go die and if he was she would never forgive herself.

She jumped when she felt a hand stroke her head. She saw her mother smiling down at her. She told her mom that the dad was Harry, and Harry reluctantly agreed. She didn't want her mother to worry or think she was abandoned.

"Why don't you go take a nap honey?" she said warmly.

"I'm ok, I need food though" She pushed on her hands and stood like a pregnant women making her mother laugh. She smiled inwardly and walked to the kitchen.

Ron and Harry were watching the small TV on the counter. Harry looked up and smiled.

"Hey, how are you feeling, any contractions?"

"No I am good" she said pecking him and walking to the fridge. They also pretended to be together which Ron was very pissed about.

Ron rolled his eyes looking back at Dragon Ball Z, "This show is sort of complicating"

"Not really" Harry said while grabbing another cookie.

"I have never watched TV before so yes it is"

"Just think of it as a play, but on a screen"

Ron frowned and continued watching it as Harry smiled and looked at Hermione. She was wearing white capris and a black quarter length sleeve pregnant shirt. Her hair was down and straight, and she wore little make- up, she didn't feel the need to impress anyone.

He frowned when he saw the pained expression in her eyes. She continued to not notice his stare and made her self a Pb and j.

"Well I am going to eat outside" she said taking a bite into it.

"Do you want us to come?" Harry asked.

"No I am fine, you tend Ron" she giggled walking out of the sliding door.

"She needs him Ron" Harry whispered.

Ron looked up from the TV with a horrid expression on his face.

"Don't give me that look I am going to write him"

"What, WHY?"

"SHH, because she needs him Ron, they still love each other, they were meant to be"

Ron growled at the last line looking back at the TV.

"I know you like her but grow up" Harry stormed out leaving Ron shrugging and continuing to watch his show.

Harry wrote a small letter then tied it to Hedwig who nibbled his hand and then flew out the window. He didn't know how long it would take. He only hoped it would be a day at the most. He lied on his bed, his thoughts drifted to Ginny, he needed her back.

Draco was playing with Hermione's ring that he put on a chain along with his, sitting in his tent and looking off to the distance. A white snowy owl flew in and held out its foot for him to take the parchment.

A little confused he took it off and read:

"She is having the baby, come to her parent's house in Surrey, she needs you, and you need her, Please come!"

His heart pounded, she is having the baby? It will take at least two days to get there he threw on a shirt and walked out of his tent. Not bothering to tell anyone goodbye he fled into the forest...
