UThis is a work in progress!/UBRPlease send me reviews so I know what to change and how to change it!HRRon and Hermione got up the next morning and had to explain to Mason what had happened. Ron was expecting Hermione to be the calm and collected one so he was surprised when she broke down in tears. Ron then knew what it meant to be a husband. He quickly comforted Hermione and explain to Mason.

BRBR"You see honey, sometime things go wrong. The new baby just couldn't make it," Ron said taking Mason's hand.

BRBR"What? What happened to the baby?"

BRBR"Well, you see...he was sick and he died," Ron said with tears welling in his eyes.

BRBRMason sat there trying to comprehend what she had just been told. She had been so excited about this baby. She then made up her mind to become a healer and help all the other little babies that were sick.

BRBR"Mummy, it's okay. I'm going to become the world's best healer and I'm going to help all the other sick babies so nobody will cry," Mason said looking up at Hermione with her big chocolate eyes.

BRBR"And I'm glad for that," Hermione said looking down at her daughter tenderly.

BRBRHermione hugged her daughter and was so thankful that she had her and Ron. Hermione had to stay in the hospital for a few days just so that the healers could moniter her and make sure that she didn't go into shock. After Hermione was discharged from the hospital, Ron took her home. When they got home, Hermione was greeted with hugs and cries of "Welcome home". Hermione looked around and saw all the Weasleys and Harry, Ginny and their kids. Instead of cheering Hermione up as everyone had hope, it just made her more sad. She couldn't help thinking of how this would have been such a happy occasion if the baby had survived.

BRBRRon sensed her discomfort and immediately said "Why don't you go into the bedroom and get some rest?"

BRBR"Are you sure? We have guests here...it'll seem rude," Hermione said looking around.

BRBR"I'm positive and no-one will mind. They all understand," Ron said leading her to the bedroom.

BRBR"Thank you, Ron. I think I just need to rest for a little bit," Hermione said giving Ron a peck on the cheek.

BRBR"Okay. Get some rest and I'll bring you some dinner later," Ron said returning the kiss. He sotly closed the door and returned to the living room.

BRBR"How is she doing?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

BRBR"She's been better but she'll get through this," Ron said sitting down next to Harry.

BRBR"I'm sure she'll be fine with a little time," Mr. Weasley said.

BRBR"I hope so...anyway, what's new with everyone?" Ron asked.

BRBR"Well, actually...we wanted to tell you all later but I guess now's a good a time as any...Harry and I are pregnant," Ginny said turning bright red (the Weasley curse).

BRBR"Ohhh! Another grand-baby???" Mrs. Weasley said giving Ginny and Harry a big hug.

BRBR"What? Congratualtions!" Ron said giving his sister a hug, "When did you find out?"

BRBR"Just a few say ago," Harry said.

BRBR"And there was something we wanted to ask you...we want you and Hermione to be Godparents to our children and in case something happens to me and Harry, we want you to take custody of the kids," Ginny said.

BRBR"Wait-wait-wait. Where is this all coming from? I mean I would be honoured to be the children's godfather but what's all this about custody? You two aren't sick are anything, are you?"

BRBR"No, no no...We're just taking some extra steps to make sure the children are taken care of Iif/i something were to happen," Harry said soothingly.

BRBR"Oh," Ron said hesitantly, then he looked at Ginny's face and he couldn't help but smile, "Okay, fine. I'll tell Hermione..er...later."HRHermione woke up the next afternoon. I"I can't believe I slept the whole morning away. I wonder what happened to Harry and Ginny."/I Hermione got up and found Ron making some lunch in the kitchen.

BRBR"Good afternoon, Sleeping Beauty," Ron said giving Mason and grilled-cheese sandwich.

BRBR"You should've woken me up," Hermione said sitting down next to Mason.

BRBR"I wanted to, mummy, but daddy said I should let you sleep," Mason said through a mouth full of sandwich.

BRBR"I thought you deserved it," Ron said, "Care to join use for some lunch?"

BRBR"Sure, I'm starving," Hermione said taking a half of a sandwich, "Mmm, I should let you cook more often...these are delicious!"

BRBR"It's just sandwiches," Ron said blushing, "Anyway, what plans have you got for today?"

BRBR"Oh nothing much. What happened after I went to sleep last night? Did everything go well?"

BRBR"Everything went fine...actually...everything went great."

BRBR"Really? What did I miss?"

BRBR"Well....Ginny and Harry are pregnant again and they've asked us to be the children's godparents."

BRBR"Oh," Hermione said putting down her sandwich, "That's great to hear. I'm just going to take a shower."

BRBRI"I knew this would bother her..."/IHRHermione got our of the shower and was just blow drying her hair when Ron came into the bedroom. She ignored him and finished drying her hair.

BRBR"Is there something bothering you? Was it something I said?" Ron asked.

BRBRHermione put down the hair dryer and sat there in silence for a few moments. She finally responded, "No. It wasn't you."

BRBR"What's wrong? Are you thinking about the baby?"

BRBR"Yes and no. I just can't believe that...that I'll never get to know my baby...I'm just being silly, I know...but I can't help but think "Why me? Why not someone else?" I know that sound terribly selfish but I can't help the way I feel."

BRBR"I know honey, I feel that way, too...but we can't live in the past while life passes us by," Ron said taking Hermione's hand, "We need to focus on what we Ido/i have....like Mason."

BRBR"Are you telling me to just forget someone who was so much a part of my live and Ime/i for nine months just like that?" Hermione said as she snapped her fingers, "You may not understand exactly what I'm feeling and I never ever expected you to but what I Idid/I expect is a little understanding and comfort."

BRBRRon sat there in shocked silence. Hermione looked into his eyes and saw his hurt expression and knew that she had cut him deeply.

BRBR"Oh, Ron...I'm sorry...I just need a little time...please don't get angry with me...I just feel so alone..."

BRBR"But you're not Hermione, I'm here and I always will be," Ron said bringing her in for a hug.

BRBRMason came into the room and saw her parents sitting on their bed hugging and crying like two scared children. She ran over and joined their hug.

BR"We'll get through this..." Ron said giving his daughter a kiss.HR
