Chapter 7: James Sirius Potter

AN: This chapter is dedicated to my bestie. Sorry for taking almost a year to update! I've been super busy at school.
Three months later…
Harry woke up to the sound of a small scream. His green eyes flew open and he reached for his wand and glasses. He slid the glasses on and saw Ginny, sitting up in bed clutching her very pregnant stomach. "HARRY I-I THINK MY WATERS JUST BROKE" Ginny screamed. "Gin calm down. I'm going to floo your Mum and we can go straight from there to Mungo's" Harry replied leaping into action. He picked up his wife, grabbed the bag from the corner, flew down the stairs and jumped into the fire place screaming "Weasley Cottage".
Harry stepped out of the fire place to see the entire Weasley family sitting in the living room. "What is everyone doing here? We just flooed to get Molly, Ginny's gone into labour."panted Harry. "Ron and Hermione heard a small scream in the night and patroused eveyone to meet here, they expected that you'd show up soon and that the baby is coming." George explained. "Sorry, mate but I don't care right now, my son is on his way and we need to get to St. Mungo's." Harry said hurriedly. And at that the whole Weasley family piled into the fire place and flooed to the hospital
Harry, Ginny, and the rest of the Weasley family arrived at St. Mungo's just in time. Mrs. Weasley ran up to the receptionist and told her "My daughter's waters just broke, we need a room and a delivery wizard." "Right away ma'am" the witch at the counter repiled. She lead the whole family to one of the delivery sweets and told them that a delivery witch would be right with them.
Trying to keep Ginny calm was proving to be a harder task than Harry thought it would be. With the whole Weasley family in the room it was quite loud and chaotic when the delivery witch enterd the room. "Excuse me, my name is Healer Patil and I will be helping you out today. I am also sorry to inform you that only three other people besides the labouring mother are allowed in the delivery room." Said Pavarti Patil as she enterd the room. The whole family greeted her. "Ginny gets to decide who she wants to stay with her." Pavarti said. Ginny ground her teeth at a contraction that had just hit. "I want Harry, and Mum of course, and Hermione can stay as well." Ginny said and the rest of the family left the small room. "Alright now, Ginny I need to examine you to determine how many centimeters dilated you are, is that okay?" Pavarti asked. Ginny nodded yes. "Ginny it looks as though you are about five centimeters dilated." "Ugh only half way" cried Ginny, clearly in pain. "Oh Ginny dear it's going to be okay. Just remember that when this is over you will have a beautiful baby boy to love." Mrs. Weasley told Ginny. "I know Mum but it just hurts a lot." Ginny replied. "If you would like I could bring you some gas and air." Pavarti added. But Ginny was moaning because of a very strong contraction was hitting her. "I think that would be great." Harry replied. Pavarti grabbed the mouth piece and attached it to the tube. Then she handed the tube to Ginny. "Ginny you need to take deep breaths on the gas and air." Hermione said soothingly.
Parvati thought that Ginny had been progressing nicely and asked to examine her again. "Good news Ginny, you are ten centimeters dilated, you are ready to push. I need you to hold Harry and your Mum's hands and Hermione you should hold the gas for you. On your next contraction I need you to push hard into your bum." Pavarti coached Ginny. After a few pushes Harry said " Almost there Ginny I can see his head." Then after another long half an hour of pushing a cry was heard in the room. "He's here Gin" Harry said with tears in his eyes. "Harry would you like to cut his cord?" Parvati said handing him the scissors. Harry cut the cord and Pavarti handed the baby to Ginny. "You can hold him for a second and then I need to clean up the both of you". Tears were streaming down the faces of all in the room as little James was passed to Harry. Pavarti then cleaned up Ginny and baby James. " I'll go and get the rest of the family for you." And with that she left the room.
When the Weasley family entered the small room what they saw made them happier than they had been in years. They saw a orphan gain the one thing he never had, a family. Harry, Hermione and greeted the family. Harry then stood up with his son in his arms and cleared his throat. " I want to thank you. Today I thought I was getting the one thing I've never had, a family. But I realized that I have one. You have all been my family and for that I am grateful. I never want my son to grow up the way I had too. So I ask you to give him the family and love you have given me." He said and passed James to Hermione. Ginny spoke then "Also we have decided to name him James Sirius Potter. We have also chosen Ron and Hermione to be his god parents". Hermione's face lit up with joy when Ginny said that and hugged Harry. James was passed around amongst his family. The next generation had begun.
