She couldn't believe. How the hell did she end up in this place with him of all people? Oh right...she married him that's how.

I'm going to kill the ruddy bastard when this is all over!

Looking to her right, Hermione could see him grinning brightly at her while stroking her hand. Feeling another wave of pain, she screamed a stream of colorful words that even shocked the Mediwitches standing nearby. She could feel him stroke her soothingly while he whispered words of confidence and love into her right ear.

"Don't worry love. Just an hour more and it'll be al-"

"An hour! Who the bloody hell decided that! I want it out now!"

"Hermione. I. Can't. Breathe."

"I don't care. I want it o- OW!"

Seeing her face scrunch with pain, Cedric grabbed her hands and held it just as the Mediwitch deemed it time to push. Feeling his hand go numb, Cedric jerked it back before replacing it with his left hand.

"Oh Merlin! What the hell is that!"

"That would be your child's head," the Mediwitch commented casually.

He didn't think it would that much blood. Why didn't anyone tell him that? What if she dies?

"Cedric if you faint right now, I swear to Merlin that I will hex you from here to next year," Hermoine whispered darkly before pushing again.

Swallowing the bile in his throat, Cedric smiled weakly before paling again.

"Just one more push Mrs. Diggory."

"You heard her Hermione. Jus-"

"I KNOW WHAT SHE SAID!" Hermione bellowed.

"And it's a boy!" the Mediwitch announced while the baby wailed.

Sighing with relief, Hermione let go of Cedric's hand before grabbing his collar and kissing him.
