Chapter 4 -
Hermione awoke early on Wednesday morning ready to start the day. She walked downstairs and made some coffee. She sat at the dining room table with her cup of coffee. She smiled as she felt the baby kick, but then that kick turned into a pain. This was a pain that was sharp and felt like it was piercing though her body. She let out a moan and the pain went away.
"It's nothing." Hermione said to herself as she walked over to the sink to put her coffee cup away, but right when she made it there another pain shot though her body. She gasped and dropped the cup. She did not have her wand to repair it.
"Hermione is that you." Called Venecia from upstairs. Venecia came downstairs to see Hermione gasping in pain. "Come dear sit down." Venecia said as she helped Hemione to the nearest chair.
"It's nothing Venecia I'm fine." Hermione said.
"No I'm going to Floo Remus so he could get to St. Mungos." Venecia said.
"I'm really fine." Hermione said in a gasp of pain.
"No you are having contractions." Venecia said. Then Hermione let out a gasp and water went down her legs. "And your water just broke."
"I'm having the baby?" Hermione said.
"Within the next few hours you will. Let me get you to St. Mungos." Venecia apperated her and Hermione into St. Mungos. They made it to the lady at the front window.
"My daughter-in-law is in labor." Venecia said.
"Her name?" the woman asked.
"Hermione Lupin." Venecia gasped as she supported Hermione.
"Let's get a wheerchair." The woman said and then a wheelchair appeared by Hermione. Venecia helped Hermione into the wheelchair as two healers came out to find Hermione.
"Mrs. Hermione Lupin?"
"Yes." Gasped Hermione.
"Ok we will take you up to labor and delivery. Is your husband or the father here?"
"I'm going to Floo him." Venecia said.
"Well hurry ma'am we think the baby will be arriving within the hour." The healer said.
"Ok I'll go now." Venecia said as she went to the fireplace. She called for Remus, but he was not in his room so she apperated outside the Hogwarts gates. She ran into the castle and to Remus classroom.
"Now what is a boggart?" he asked his 3rd year students.
"It's a damn shapshifter." Venecia said as she rushed into his classroom still in her Pajamas.
The students giggled.
"What mother?" Remus asked quietly.
"Hermione is in labor." Venecia said as she grabbed Remus by the arm.
"Class dismissed we will finish this subject next class." Remus said as Venecia dragged him out the classroom. She made him run as fast as he could outside the Hogwarts gates. They appereated into St. Mungos. Remus ran up to labor and delivery not asking what room Hermione was in. He ran into the first room and luckily it was Hermione.
"Remus oh God I'm in so much pain." Hermione gasped.
"Now Mrs. Lupin we want to you give a good push." The healer said.
Hermione gave a push that came with a gasp of pain. Remus held Hermione's hand and she squeezed it until it turned purple.
"Ouch Hermione your hurting me." Remus said in pain.
"HURTING YOU, HURTING YOU. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS HURTS?!?!" she screamed in pain.
"Sorry take my hand." Remus said as he gave her his hand.
"We can see the head." The healer said. "One or two good pushes will get the baby out. I want you to take a deep breath and push."
Hermione followed directions and pushed. She let out a powerful scream as the baby came out. Then there was a wave of relief as the healer lifted the baby out. There was a small cry. It was the soft, loud, yet wonderful first cry of their baby girl. Hermione was still in pain and she cried, but she was so happy that she smiled. The healer muttered a few spells that cleaned up the baby and she handed the baby wrapped in a pink blanket to Hermione.
"Congratulations Mr. And Mrs. Lupin you are the proud parents of a healthy witch."
"Hermione she looks beautiful." Remus said as he ran his hands over her thin soft hair.
"She looks like you." Hermione said.
"Well yeah."
"But she has my curly hair, but your color hair. She has your eyes."

Remus walked out into the waiting room to get his mom. When he went out his mom was there along with Harry and Libby, Ron and Luna, Severus and Ginny, Dumbledore, McGonagall, and his dad.
"How is she?" Ginny asked.
"She is doing great." Remus explained.
"How's the baby?" McGonagall asked.
"Fine it's a girl." Remus said.
"Name?" Libby asked.
"Brianna Karah Lupin." Remus said.
"That's a beautiful name." Libby said.
"So can we see her?" Harry asked.
"Only 2 at a time." Remus said.
"The grandparents should go first." Dumbledore said.
Venecia and Morris followed Remus into the room where Hermione held a sleeping Brianna.
"She looks wonderful." Venecia said.
"Well son welcome to hell." Morris said.
"Morris!" Venecia said as she hit Morris.
"Well kids are. Having Remus, Remington, and Jessica was too much."
"Oh yes I wanted to tell you that Jessica will be able to come out in a few days." Venecia said.
"I'm so excited I never got to meet Jessica." Hermione said.
"She should have been Remus' twin." Morris said.
"I agree." Venecia said.
"Well I think that Mrs. Lupin needs a rest and so we are asking for no visitors except for the father." A healer said as she came into the room.
"Ok Venecia and Morris could you tell the others that they can come to our house in a few days?" asked Hermione.
"Yes. Bye Remus, Hermione, and baby Brianna." Morris and Venecia said as they left.
