"She's ready for delivery." One of the Healers confirmed.
Jade's eyes widened as another set of painful and sharper pain took over her. "Now?! I'm having him now?!" Jade screamed. Hermione placed a hand on Jade's hand and gave her a gentle smile. "Please calm down sweetheart. The baby's got to come out some day." Hermione said monitoring Jade's progress.
"But this is painful. Oh Lord Hermione, I think I'm going to die." Jade moaned, gripping the handles of the bed tightly.
"Oh the real pain has yet to come." Hermione mumbled.
After a few seconds, Jade loosened her grip on the handlebars and took a deep breath. "Ough these contractions are killing me. Hermione, can you tell the Healer to give me the epidural already?" Jade asked.
Hermione froze in her spot and stared at Jade.
"What? What's wrong?" Jade asked seeing Hermione try to smile but looked tense. "Hermione." Jade growled.
"Just take deep breaths Jade, that's all." Hermione said.
A more intense and painful contraction coursed through Jade's lower back to her abdomen and Jade gasped, clutching the handlebars again. "I swear if you don't get him the fuck out!" Jade barked.
The door opened and Draco walked in sighing with relief. "In a large hospital like this, it's always nice to find you when you're screaming like that." Draco said running to Jade's side.
"Don't touch me!" Jade yelled. She shook in pain and closed her eyes tightly. Draco stood there pale faced and looked at Hermione who looked equally scared. "Where's my epidural?! I need an anesthetic now!" Jade screamed.
"Miss Harper." A Healer said walking in.
"Healer, Healer please…the epi-"
"Healer Granger hasn't told you?" the Healer asked looking at Hermione who shook her head wildly.
"How could you expect me to break the bad news to the poor thing? Did you not hear her cursing a world away?" Hermione asked bewilderedly.
The Healer turned to Jade and smiled apologetically. "Miss Harper…the situation is such that…we…won't be able to give you the epidural because we have absolutely no time to administer the drug." The Healer explained seeing the young mother to be eyes grow larger and angrier. Something told him that he was about to hear something that he would have never heard in his life.
Never once had St. Mungo's had a patient that had the strongest set of lungs and a mouth so vile and offensive. It came up to a point where the whole delivery ward was cleared. The poor Healers that had to assist in Jade Harpers delivery had to endure the screeches, screams, curses and head spinning accusations.
"Push." The Healer said.
"Holy Mother of Bethlehem!" Jade screamed.
"From fucking dancing wanks, how in the world did you manage to come up with Bethlehem?" Draco asked feeling Jade dig her nails into his arms.
"Shut the fuck up ferret!" Jade screamed in his face.
"Just keeping the mood light." Draco said quickly.
"I see the baby's head!" the Healer said.
"If he's not out soon, I'll have yours." Jade snarled.
"Faster little one!" Hermione chanted.
"Get ouuuuuut!" Jade roared from the top of her lungs.
"Please…I don't want the baby to be born deaf. My ears are ringing already." Draco muttered.
If Jade had any energy left, or if she was in a position that allowed her to punch Draco and knock out his two front teeth, she would do so. Jade didn't move, she had a bloody child that was halfway out! "I swear I'll kill you after this. I hate you. I hate you!" Jade screamed pushing.
"You're doing great love." Draco said kissing her head.
"One more. Give me one more push." The Healer said.
Jade took a deep gasp of breath and worked with the voice and lungs she was blessed with to help for the raw pain of childbirth as her child slid out into the world.
"Congratulations. A beautiful baby girl." The Healer announced.
"13th of May, time is 4:25 p.m." the Healer said as a nurse documented.
"Oh my goodness, she's beautiful." Hermione cooed. Draco wiped Jade's face and neck and pressed a kiss to her cheeks. "I love you." he whispered.
"Oh fuck you." Jade said feeling an overwhelming relief that her child was finally out. Jade heard her child gurgle a cry and she immediately broke into a set of sobs. "I made her." Jade choked seeing Draco smile, stroking her hair.
"I helped." Draco added.
Jade laughed and cried into his chest as their little girl was brought to them. "Look at her." Jade breathed as the nurse placed the baby in Jade's arms. Jade marveled at the beautiful pink creature that started to sleep already. "I think she's going to look like you." Jade said turning to Draco who met with Jade's eyes.
"It's too early to tell, but I always wished that she'd come out looking as beautiful as you. If she does grow up looking like her father, I'm sure we can always have more." Draco winked as Jade winced uncomfortably.
"Let's not get carried away." Jade said.
Jade was shifted to the maternity ward to rest. She downed a few potions and spoke to Draco as he fed the baby. Hermione stood for a little bit longer and had to leave when Rose started going hungry.
"Ron will even be home. I'll visit tomorrow all right?" Hermione asked as Jade nodded. Hermione placed a kiss on Jade's head and smiled. "Thank you again for making me Godmother." Hermione said seeing Jade grin.
"You're the only one we have." Jade said. Hermione gave Jade a hug and pulled back with tears brimming in her eyes. "Damn it Hermione, you cry over everything." Jade said irritably.
"Will you just leave me be? You just had a baby!" Hermione said.
Draco looked up to see Hermione crying and smiling as she held Hugo in her arms. Draco turned to Rose who sat next to him, looking at her mother bizarrely. "Women." Draco said rolling his eyes.
"Tell me about it!" Rose said. Draco grinned and looked down to his daughter who sucked hungrily from the bottle. "She's very beautiful." Rose said.
"Thank you." Draco answered.
The door opened and Harry peeked in. "Did I just get the news that Jade Harper just had a baby?" Harry asked walking in with flowers and balloons.
"Bloody hell, who invited him?" Draco asked.
"And the feeling is mutual…ferret." Harry said greeting Rose with a kiss.
"Hello Uncle Harry." Rose giggled.
"See now you have a younger sister to play with. You're going to be her role model." Harry said seeing Rose nod excitedly. Harry sat down next to Draco with Rose on his lap. "She's heartbreaking." Harry commented, seeing Draco give Harry a better look of his baby girl.
"I know. I can already see how the other boys are ogling at her in the nursery." Draco said. Everyone burst into laughter and chatted until Hermione left. Harry had Jade and Draco's newborn daughter in his arms and sat next to Jade who was propped up and Draco sat on a chair next to them.
"I'm really sorry about Ginny, Jade. You didn't need to hear all that just right before you went to give birth." Harry said seeing Jade lean back to relax.
"What are you talking about?" Draco asked curiously.
"Ginny ran into Hermione and Jade while they were shopping, just before Jade's contractions started. Hermione just gave me a brief synopsis of it in the letter she sent me. I'm really sorry Jade." Harry said feeling embarrassed about Ginny.
"Forget about it. I don't want to talk about it. I just had my daughter; I'd rather focus on her than anything else. Please." Jade said firmly.
