Chapter Six-New Beginnings

"Hermione, you'd better get going. You have a Hogsmede trip today and I don't want you to miss it." he said and let her out of his grasp.

"What if I stayed here, hmm?" she asked smiling.

"No, go and have fun. Tell you what. When you come back, come here after dinner and we will have our own." he said smiling also.

"Okay, I will. See you later. Love you," she whispered and was out the door in a flash.

Two Years Later

"Hermione, you look beautiful." Hermione's father said as he held his arm out for her to take it.

"Thanks Daddy. I can't believe this is finally happening." she said and took his arm as the music began to play.

Remus looked at her as she walked down the isle. Her dress was full white silk with no curve except where it formed to fit her body.

"She is an angel Remus," said Harry and laughed. "It's too bad I didn't get to her first." he smiled and patted Remus on the shoulder.

"Yes, she is an angel, Harry. Yes she is," Remus said and watched her come towards him, smiling. His life was now perfect. Soon to come was what would make it even more so perfect.

Two Years After That

Remus paced the hospital floor as Harry eyed him worriedly.

"Remus, Please sit down. You are making my head spin," he pleaded with his friend.

"Sorry Harry. I have just waited so long for this, Hermione and I both." said Remus and he stopped pacing the floor.
Right as Remus went to take a seat, Ginny and Ron raced through the doors. Ginny ran up to Harry and hugged him.

"I am so sorry honey. Ron tried to apparate from Hogwarts but he forgot, you can't apparate from there," she said giving Ron a glare and he just rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Oh Remus, I am so happy for you. How is she? Have they said anything yet?" Ginny asked anxiously.

"From what they have told me she is fine for now.," Remus said with a nervous smile.

"Congratulations mate," Ron said and patted Remus on the back.

"Thanks," said Remus. At that time the doctor came out and walked up to Remus smiling.

"Congratulations, Mister Lupin. You are the father of two beautiful babies. A boy and a girl. Your wife is doing fine and you can see her any time." she said and led him to her room.

Remus practically ran into the room as she pointed it to him. He saw Hermione, her hair damp with sweat and clinging to her face, and grinned at her. "I love you so much,"

"How about Alana and Nicholas, names for the babies." she said as she hugged him back weakly.

"Love it," he said as the nurse brought two little bundles in. Remus took the girl and smiled at her sleeping face. "Is that your name sweety? Alana Lupin?" he kissed his wife's forehead and thought of the life that was ahead of them both, raising their two little babies.
