Chapter Five: It's Time Already?

Since we found out that I was pregnant, I thought it would be wonderful, but oh was I wrong, I had been getting up, I don't know how many nights on the run, to be sick in the toilet and I hated every minute of it. But Harry was there. He didn't have to whisper soothing words into my ear and hold my hair back but he did and then he took me in his arms and waited for me to fall asleep before falling asleep himself and I loved him for it.

It had been eight and a half months now since I had become pregnant and I could hardly walk. My ankles ached and my back was throbbing. I had stopped teaching for a while on account of the baby and Professor Dumbledore had taken my place. I was having another craving again, I had become rather fond of pumpkin pie, since I had become pregnant. I had saved a piece from dinner and unwrapped it from the tissue I had put it in. I placed it onto a plate. I picked it up and walked over to the chair by the fire, in mine and Harry's room. I sat down slowly and began to eat. Once I had finished, I placed the plate onto the table in front of me and rested my head on the back of the chair.

I closed my eyes and cleared my mind. I was just about to fall asleep, when I felt a kicking feeling in my stomach. I opened my eyes and looked at it, as if expecting it to start dancing. I placed my hand on it and felt it again. The baby was kicking, I couldn't believe it. I was so amazed that I didn't even hear Harry come down the stairs. When I did eventually look up, he was kneeling next to me smiling at me.

"Harry, here place your hand there" I said.

He lifted his hand and placed it next to mine on my stomach.

"Can you feel it?" I asked, smiling at him.

He looked up at me and smiled in response, I took that as a yes. He smiled at me once more before getting up an pulling me up. We walked up the stairs and climbed back into bed. Falling asleep in each others arms. The next few days were a bit of a blur as all I did was sleep and eat, I couldn't do much else. But little did I know that it was about to happen and sooner than I thought.

It was the date of the baby's birth, September 23rd. It was about half one in the afternoon and I had just woken up. I pulled on my dressing gown and walked down into the common room. Suddenly a flash of pain shot across my stomach, I stopped in my steps and clutched it. I waited, but no other pains came, so I carried on walking and sat down in the chair in front of the fire place. I picked up my book from the table in front of me and began to read. I had been reading for about ten minutes when another pain, similar to the one I had experienced earlier, shot through me. I screamed out and dropped the book I was holding onto the floor. Another pain shot through me, they were becoming more and more frequent now, and to top it all of my waters had just broken. I was lying on the floor in agony when the portrait swung open and in walked Harry. He spotted me straight away and rushed over to my side.

"Mione, are you ok?" he asked.

"Do I look ok Harry? No! I need to get to the hospital wing!" I shouted at him.

He knew I didn't mean it, and took me in his arms. Since you couldn't apperate into or out of Hogwarts, it didn't mean that you couldn't apperate around the school. Harry spoke an incantation and immediately we were in the hospital wing. He helped me over to a bed and I lay down on it as he went to get Madam Pomfrey.

"Harry, you did this to me!" I screamed.

The contractions were getting stronger and stronger by the minute. I closed my eyes and bit my tongue to prevent myself from screaming, but it was no use. I screamed out in pain as Harry and madam Pomfrey rushed over to me.

"Professor Granger we need to get you into the other room, here Mr Potter, wipe her forehead with this sponge and help me push her into the other room" she said.

I saw Harry nod in agreement and he wiped my forehead as he helped Madam Pomfrey push me into the other room. It was a small room on the other side of the hospital wing. It had been designed specially for pregnancy and deliveries. As the door close behind us, I screamed again and Harry took hold of my hand.

"Mione, squeeze my hand when you feel a pain coming ok?" he told me.

I nodded at him and squeezed his hand as another contraction shot through me. I saw him wince, apparently I was squeezing his hand too hard so I let go.

"Never again Harry, never again!" I shouted at him.

He just smiled down at me and continued to wipe my forehead. Madam Pomfrey gave me something for the pain but, quite frankly, I don't think it was helping at all. I shrieked once more as Madam Pomfrey spoke to me.

"All right Hermione, I'm going to need you to push as hard as you can, ok? On the count of three. One, two, three, push!" she yelled.

I pushed as hard as I could.

"Your nearly there Hermione, I think one more push should do it. On three again. One, two, three, push!"

I pushed with all my might and at last, cries could be heard. Baby cries to be precise. I fell backwards into the pillow and got my breathing back to normal.

"Congratulations, you've got a baby girl!" said Madam Pomfrey as she handed me the towel she had wrapped the baby up in.

I pushed myself up to a sitting position in the bed, and took the baby of her. I smiled down at her. Harry and I had had a little baby girl. I smiled up at him and all he could do was smile back, we were both speechless. Harry motioned to hold the baby and I handed her over. He took her in his arms and stared down at her, his smile was the biggest I had ever seen it. He had told me he wanted a little girl and I was the one to put that smile there on his face. Madam Pomfrey watched us in awe for a few minutes as we both stared at the baby before she spoke up.

"Any ideas for a name?" she asked us.

We had talked about it and decided on names for a boy and a girl. Harry turned around and looked at me before nodding, motioning for me to tell Madam Pomfrey. I nodded back at him before turning to look at her.

"Well, as soon as I had become pregnant Harry and I talked about what we would call it if the baby was a girl or a boy, and we finally decided on it. We decided to call the baby, if it was a girl, Jaylynn Lily Potter, after Harry's mum"

When I had finished speaking she smiled at me before replying.

"What a beautiful name. Now shall we get mother and baby cleaned up?"

I nodded as Harry handed me Jaylynn and Madam Pomfrey wheeled us of to the bathroom in the hospital. When we were all clean, she wheeled us back into the main wing of the hospital, over to were Harry was waiting. I handed him Jaylynn and he placed her in the cot next to my bed. I smiled up at Harry and he smiled back at me. He hugged me and gave me a kiss before speaking.

"Well done Mione" he said.

I laughed as he lay on the bed next to me. I leant back into his arms and both of us exhausted, fell asleep like that, smiles clear on our faces.
