Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, or any of J.K.'s characters, or plot. I simply own this plot, and the second generation. And hopefully Sirius Black someday…soon! I do however own the little one coming into the wizarding world at the moment, and the dog sitting at my feet. But that's all.

A/N: I'm SO sorry that it's mostly dialogue happening outside of the room, but I didn't think I'd be good at writing a birth!

"It'll be fine Hermione, stay calm." Ginny reassured the wheezing brunette. Hermione looked up; sweat dripping down her face, her brown eyes snapping.

"It will not be fine! I haven't given birth in eleven years! We haven't done scans or anything of this baby! How do I know if it's healthy or not! Stupid Fred, talking me into a stupid surprise!" Hermione gasped, another contraction overwhelming her shaking form. Fred grimaced.

"I'm sorry dear." He murmured. Hermione looked up wildly.

"Out! GET OUT! You did this to me! YOU!"

Fred nodded, and walked out of the room. He turned to George, who was sitting outside with Katie, Harry, and their children, "Feisty one, she is. I knew I married her for a reason."

Katie looked at him and admonished, "You married her because you love her." George chuckled. The blue-eyed woman glared at him. Fred laughed as his brother cowered under her steely gaze.

"That too." Fred admitted, as Molly and Arthur Weasley rushed through the doors.

"Where is she? Is she okay?" Molly asked frantically, gripping Fred's shoulders. She was only like this with the second or third births. With Ginny, she was calm, well, when it was Molly, Beth and Lyssa anyways.

Fred soothed his Mother, and said, "She's fine Mother. She's kicked me out of there, so she's fine." Arthur, Harry George laughed, while Katie shot another death glare. That silenced the three rather rapidly.

"She'll need me, of course." Molly said, bustling into the Ward, and going to Hermione's bedside. As the door opened, a series of cuss-words could be heard spilling out, in Hermione's rather screechy voice.

"My wife. She's such a lovely woman, isn't she? So refined, feminine, she'd never swear." Fred said, tears of mirth spilling down George's face.

"How's Hermione?" Ron demanded as he came in, Luna following, Selena on one hip.

"She's fine. You might want to stay out here though." Harry warned, trying to catch his breath.

Luna looked around. "Why is the room labelled the 'Weasley Waiting Room'?" She asked, her silver eyes boring into the green one's across the room.

"Because we're here so often, and we're such a huge group, that they've given us our own Waiting Room. We should be getting our own Ward soon too, come to think of it." George said, looking thoughtfully at the list of Wards.

Harry chuckled. "Of course, Potters and Lupins are included." He explained, pointing to the small print. 'Potter and Lupin families welcome', was written in Fred's messy scrawl.

Ron howled with laughter. "We're a right mad family, we are." He said, as Lily, Sasha, Maria, Will and Alex came in.

"Has Aunt Mione had the baby yet?" Lily inquired, taking a seat on the ground at her father's feet, her friends following suite.

Maria looked up, "Has she Dad? I can't wait for another baby in the family!" She exclaimed happily.

"Not yet." Katie said. With another piercing glare, Sirius and Sam, who'd been squabbling with Justin, Jesse and Molly, were silenced, along with the other three. The junior twins and Molly sat on a table, eating pumpkin pasties, looking rather contemptuous.

"We won." Justin hissed into Sirius' ear, earning him a decent whack to the head from Fred.

"Stop it you three." Harry warned. Just then, Bill, Ziven, their children, Percy and Penelope strode in.

"Hello all." Percy greeted pompously, while Bill looked at him as though he was a lost cause.

"How is she?" Ziven asked, looking anxiously at the door.

"I'm just going to put up a sign." Fred muttered while Lily assured her Aunt that her sister-in-law was fine.

While the women discussed baby names, the younger children played 'Aurors and Azkabanians', the older children gossiped, and the men laughed at jokes, Fred put up a sign reading, 'Hermione's fine, hasn't had the baby yet.' He tacked it to the door, then poked his head into the room where Hermione was screaming and cussing, ordering the Healer's to do whatever it took to 'Get the damn baby out of her'.

Jack, James, Peter, Ryan and Vanessa suddenly pushed their way through the doors, Remus, Tonks and Allie following. "Read the sign." George said stonily, before joining the gales of laughter that followed the reading.

Remus sat down next to Harry. In a couple minutes, leaving her conversation with Luna, Tonks joined the two, who were deep in conversation, settling herself onto Remus' lap.

"Heard about Vanessa. Great news eh? Poor boys got their flat wrecked though." Tonks said, leaning her head on Remus' shoulder. Allie, who'd joined Molly, Justin, Brayden and Beth as Aurors, who were attempting to catch Sirius, Sam, Jesse, Selena, Charlie, and Shawn, the Azkabanians.

Harry turned from Remus to Tonks, so quickly his neck cracked. "I didn't see her come in! She's fine then?" He asked happily, thinking back to the girl who'd been a 'favourite' of his in his classes. She was rather smart, and very eager to learn as much as she could.

Tonks nodded, and then grinned as Remus nuzzled her neck. Her grin faded as she saw Peter shaking his head, talking to James. She fake-scowled. "Not now Remus. Later, I promise." She whispered, earning an eye-roll from Harry.

Fred had returned from Hermione's room, a nasty lump burgeoning above his left ear. He sat down next to George, Katie, Arthur and Bill. "Nasty temper Hermione has when she's in pain." He informed them, wincing as he rubbed the goose egg quickly swelling.

George and Bill chuckled, Katie sighed, and Arthur groaned sympathetically. "When Percy was born, your Mom chucked me out too." He thought for a second, "She also threw a cup at my head."

Molly suddenly rushed out, "It's happening! They baby's crowning!" Fred jumped up. "You stay out!" She snarled, pointing at Fred.

Bill looked at Fred with interest, "What'd you do to get Mum mad too?"

Fred grinned sheepishly, "I told Hermione we could give the baby to Percy, that way I wouldn't have to deal with a Hermione-like child." Bill smacked his own forehead, Harry and Ron grinned appreciatively, Arthur shook his head, and Percy looked rather disapproving. The women on the other hand, scowled, all of them. Ziven, Penelope, Katie, Luna, Vanessa, Lily, Casey and Maria all scowled.

"The baby's out!" Ginny said, rushing out of the room. Everybody stood, and crowded around the door. The red haired woman's hair was glued to her head with sweat, her hazel eyes tired. "No crowding! Hermione only wants Fred, Harry and Ron first!"

The crowd drew back, looking disappointed. Ron, Harry and Fred exchanged grins, and entered the room, with Ginny. Fred ran to her side. "Hermione!"

"I'm so sorry Fred!" Hermione cried. "Our baby's so beautiful." She cooed, holding out the bundle, wrapped in a little yellow blanket.

Ron looked over Fred's shoulder, "My youngest err, is it a nephew or niece?" He asked Hermione awkwardly, while Harry and Ginny went to Hermione's other side, peering over her to see the baby.

"She's a girl." Hermione answered weakly, but looking positively euphoric.

"Is adorable." Harry finished for Ron, smiling at his best friend, who smiled back from her bed.

"What're we naming her?" Hermione asked, looking up at Fred, who stared at the baby in his arms, looking awed. He pondered that for a second, and peered into the baby's face. "Something pretty. That doesn't start with a 'J'" She said quickly.

"Adeline?" Fred asked, but quickly retracted the suggestion at Hermione's look of disgust. "Harriet?" He tried again, but informed a glaring Harry that he was joking.

What should the name of Hermione's baby be? Give me suggestions, and I may just use them! Sorry it's so short!
