Hi!!! I decided to get another fic going as it was in my head so had to
get it down for all you H/H fans! Anyway, there will probably be a lot
more action than romance but I'll do my best!

A New Beginning.
The sky was dark and there was no sign of the April sun breaking through as Hermione watched the rain descending. To be honest, she was fed up of being trapped indoors for such a long period of time.
She laid her head back on the back of the chair and rested her hands on the gentle swell of her stomach. Even now, she still marvelled at the thought that there was a new life growing inside her. However, this didn't stop her dreading the thought of another two weeks of constant rain and backache. She missed her job at the London Institute for the Further Study of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She'd wanted to stay on longer but the Dean had insisted that she took maternity leave, especially once the baby was born.
As she stood up to stretch, she heard a gentle pop behind her. She turned round to find a strong pair of arms wrapped around her. She smiled as she looked into her husband's emerald eyes. She leant up and brushed her lips gently against his.
"Back so soon?" She teased, knowing how fond her husband was of a drink with the lads.
"Well, training finished early and how could I not want to spend time with my beautiful wife and Harry Junior!"
Hermione shook her head at her husband's teasing. They'd already decided on names, James if it was a boy, after Harry's father. Thinking of a girl's name had been more challenging but, after much debate, they had finally settled for Amie Rebekah Potter.
Harry cupped her face and brought his head down to her and gently kissed her. Hermione sighed happily as her arms snaked around his neck. Harry ran his tongue along her bottom lip and she obligingly parted them. As their tongues collided, Harry drew her closer, well as close as her bump would allow. However, their moment of passion was broken by a gentle kick. She laughed out loud and moved Harry's hand to the right spot. He smiled as he felt their first child kicking out in protest.
"I can hardly believe that in a few weeks, our lives will be changed forever."
"I know" Hermione agreed.
Harry drew her close again.
"Hermione?"
"Mm?"
"The Cannons have given me a few weeks off so I can be with you and the baby!"
Hermione looked up "But what about your training? I mean, it's the World Cup this year."
"It's ok! I'll still be going to the England training sessions but there will be less pressure from the Cannons."
"I love you Mr. Potter!" Hermione laughed.
"I love you too, Mrs.Potter!" Smiled Harry.

Three weeks later found Hermione a week overdue and ready to explode. She groaned as she tried to lever herself off the balcony chair that had been supporting her weight. It was usually nice to be out in the sun again but not with this much weight to carry around.
Ginny laughed gently as she got up to help her friend to her feet.
"You know" Ginny laughed "You could just ask me if you need something!"
"I know that! But if I don't move soon, my muscles are going to seize up." Grumbled Hermione "When will this little one make an appearance?"
With that comment, the pain suddenly began.
"Ok, baby heard that! Help! I think it's starting Ginny."
She grimaced as the first contraction came, a wave of pain washing over her.
"Good timing" smiled Ginny "I'm sure it'll be a while yet, I mean, your waters haven't broken yet." Ginny had been a nurse at a doctor's surgery in Diagon Alley for a year now and had come across her fair share of mothers in labour.
"Where's Harry?!" Hermione growled as her waters unexpectedly broke.
"Ah" said Ginny "it looks like this little one wants to come out at last but isn't going to wait much longer!"
There was a gentle pop behind her as Harry suddenly appeared, having sensed Hermione's pain.
"Hermione, what's wrong?" He gasped.
"What does it look like you idiot?!" she shouted as another contraction hit.
"Oh, ah, what can I do?"
"You can get your arse over here and help me!"
"Look" said Ginny, trying to maintain peace "Harry, can you call the doctor. The baby will arrive very soon and it would probably be safer if Hermione stays here at home otherwise it will appear enroute!"
****
Less than hour later and it was nearly over.
"Come on Hermione, you're nearly there! Just one more push and you're there!" Shouted Ginny.
"Aagghh!!!" Hermione cried as she gave one last, almighty push.
Suddenly, a gentle spluttering, followed by a piercing cry filled the air as a brand new life demonstrated its vast lung capacity.
"Congratulations" said the doctor as he cut the cord, "You have a beautiful baby girl."
Tears streamed down Hermione's cheeks as Ginny wrapped the tiny baby in a blanket and placed her gently in Hermione's open arms.
Harry wrapped his arms around his wife and gazed down at his new daughter.
"Hello Amie, my beautiful angel! Welcome to a new world."
There you go! First chapter! Please r/r coz I need all the help I can get!
