Prompt #75 Early
Sirius/OFC
"Siri, wake up."
Sirius opened an eye and looked at the clock next to his bed. It was not even six.
"Too Early. Sleep." Sirius replied before snuggling down into the bed again.
"Sirius wake UP!"
"hmm." Sirius mumbled back. "Early. Sleep. You sleep too."
"Sirius Orion Black wake aahhhh!"
With that wail Sirius shot out of bed and over to where his not quite eight months along wife stood, clutching her stomach in agony.
"What's wrong?"
"The baby. She's early!"
Early! No! Sirius rushed about the room. He had to floo the family, the midwife… what was going to happen? Sirius settled on calling Narcissa and Andi. They could help.
Twenty minutes later Sirius was pacing as James and Narcissa tried to keep him calm. Andi was with the midwife, since she was a qualified healer. James was carrying his and Andi's son, who was still sleep, while Narcissa had her firstborn on her shoulder, rubbing calming circles into his back.
"She'll be alright. Don't panic." James told him. "Theia is strong."
Narcissa nodded as she cradled the sleeping Malfoy baby. "An early birth is hardly a shock in this family, and she's far enough along that the baby shan't be too sickly."
Six hours later Aurora Mira Black was opening her ice blue eyes. Being early she didn't have much hair to speak of, but what she had was dark.
Sirius was allowed in to see the baby after a while. He gently held his baby girl and smiled. "I guess she knew how pretty she is, because she wanted to make an impression on us."
The midwife came into the room, smiling.
"Your wife should be fine. The early birth did not injure her or affect her negatively in any way. Some babies are just ready early. Keep up with a healer to make sure she keeps up with those important milestones."
Sirius nodded. It didn't matter that his little Rora was early, he would protect her with his very life.
