Chapter 10
Harry POV
Ginny had fallen asleep hours ago (around midnight), but I couldn't. What if what she had was serious? What if it killed her? What if… I needed to leave. I kissed Ginny's brow and walked out into the halls, moving as quietly as possible. I walked past room 243 and the door opened. Out slipped my best man. He looked at me with prominent circles under his eyes. I pulled him into a hug. He looked back up at me with teary eyes.
"Harry, I can't watch her in all this pain. Hugo wasn't this hard on her. It's like watching Bellatrix torture her all over again." His voice broke off as he began to sob. A healer shh-ed us but pointed us to an empty room. I walked him to the bed and we both sat down. I looked back at him.
"Ron I know this is hard for you. But remember? She is going to get through this. She has before. She'll get through it." I say, shaking some sense into him, before adding
"I promise." Ron looks at me, nodding slowly. I smile and try to cheer him up. Suddenly a nurse runs in.
"Mr. Weasley? I think your child is about to be born." The healer says with a smile. Ron jumps up from the bed and sprints down the hall, tears of joy streaming down his cheeks. The nurse smiles and turns to me.
"Mr. Potter? I know you must be worried about your wife, but the results will get back to us in about an hour." She turns and leaves me there, smiling for Ron.
