Chapter 11
"Hey mommy." Bonnie said softly. She was so excited. She was a big sister now. She was going to meet her baby brother.
Bonnie had had fun at her slumber party, but she did miss her mom. When she heard about the baby coming she couldn't wait to see her mommy, so Christina's mom took the girls down to when Ron owled them.
"Hey sweetheart! How are you?" Hermione said yawning widely.
"I'm good. Are you okay mommy. You look tired. Do you need a nap?"
"Yes I do, but I wanted to see you first." Hermione said with a small smile.
"Where's the baby?" Bonnie said, looking around the room. "I wanna meet my brother."
"The nurse is bringing him here. After you leave it's his supper time." Hermione said.
"Cool."
Just then the nurse came in with the baby. She placed the little boy in Hermione's arms. Ron picked Bonnie up and put her on the bed next to her mom.
"Bonnie, this is your brother Cadence." Hermione said.
"Mommy he's so small!" Bonnie whispered. She reached out and touched his little figures.
"You were smaller." Ron said with a grin.
"No way!" Bonnie protested.
Hermione nodded her head. "Yes way."
"Can I hold him?"
"Yes you can, but you must be extra careful." instructed Hermione.
Hermione helped Bonnie situate her arms and carefully put the baby in them. Bonnie looked at her brother. She couldn't believe how small he was. She was so excited to be a big sister.
Just then Cadence opened his eyes. Bonnie smiled at him. Caden just looked up at her with big blue eyes. After a while he started to get fussy so everyone decided to let him eat.
"Bye mommy. Bye Cadence. Bye Daddy." Bonnie said giving everyone a hug and a kiss. She walked to the doorway where Christina's mom was waiting. She turned around and waved once more before leaving.
"How you feeling mom? Ron asked his wife.
"Well just a little sore, but that's to be expected." Hermione said, looking down at her son while he nursed.
"He's amazing. I am so proud of you." Ron said kissing her forehead.
"I know." Hermione said with a smile which made Ron laugh.
"I am so sorry I almost missed this." Ron said after a moment of silence.
"Well it's a good thing you didn't. I was so worried you weren't going to make it." Hermione whispered.
"So was I. I got here as soon as I could." Ron said nuzzling her neck.
"I know you did." Hermione said.
"So now we have two kids." Ron said.
"Yep. Two beautiful, wonderful children." Hermione giggled.
"You won't be saying that when this little one wakes us up at all hours of the night. Let's just say it; we have our hands full."
"I know. But if your mother can handle seven children I can handle two." Hermione said with a rueful smile.
"Yeah, but my mom didn't have a career." Ron said.
"What? Are you saying that I should quit my job?" Hermione asked, taken aback.
"No! I would never say that." Ron said looking surprised.
"Then what are you saying?" she asked.
"Look, do we have to go through this now? You just had a baby. You don't need anymore stress." Ron sighed
"No, Ron. Let's deal with this now." Hermione pressed.
"Hermione, I was only thinking that since you've been doing most of your work at home, maybe you can do most of it there all the time."
Hermione paused. She was thinking about how it would be more beneficial for everyone. She didn't want to rely on Mrs. Weasley all the time. It felt wrong to always leave Bonnie with her.
"I'll talk to my boss about it." Hermione said.
"You don't have to Hermione. It was just a thought. I mean, there will be times that I could stay home instead of being over at the ministry. But most of the time... well you know." Ron said shrugging.
"I actually like that idea. It would help everyone out. I don't need my office to do research." Hermione said cheering up a bit.
Ron smiled. "Why don't you get some rest? We'll talk about this later. You've had a long, hard day."
"You staying?"
"If you want me to. I was planning on it."
"Ma'am if you're ready I'll take your son back to the nursery." The nurse interrupted.
"Sure." Hermione said looking up at her.
Ron and Hermione kissed their son and said good night and the nurse took the baby to the nursery. Ron magicked the bed and sheets bigger and conjured up some pillows.
"Good night. Love you." Hermione mumbled, already half asleep.
Ron kissed the top of her head. "Night Hermione. Love you too."
