The school year continued to pass without any major events.
I went home for Easter break and did a little baby clothes shopping with Mum, getting neutral outfits, as I didn't know the baby's sex.
Hugo and I decided that the baby would live with me at my house sometimes, and with him at his house other times. We expected to be together as much as we could, however.
The baby was due May 20th, according to Madam Pomfrey. I decided since it was so close tot he end of the year, I would stop attending when the abby was born.
I told McGonagall of this in April, and she agreed to let Hugo and I take our O.W.L's early.
So on May 1st we met with her in a classroom on the 5th floor, our testing site, and took the written exams early. I would have to come back for a few days when it was time to do th practical exams
My water broke in Transficguration on May 18.
I raised my hand.
"Yes, ?" Willis askd me.
"My water just broke!"
Hugo jumped up. Colin cheered.
"Go, Lily," Lottie called out.
"Ms. Corner," Professor Willis instructed. "Get Madam Pomfrey."
Ellie rushed out of the room as I had my first contraction.
"Hugo," I screeched. "I hate you!"
"It'll be okay, Lily," he whispered soothingly. "It'll be over soon."
Just then Ellie and Madam Pomfrey appeared in the room.
"We need to Floo Saint Mungo's," Pomprey told Willis.
We went to Willis's offfice and I took a handful of floo powder.
Hugo took some too and held my hand as he yelled, "Saint Mungo's."
We arrived in the waiting room, followed by Willis.
Willis ran over to a nurse.
"This girl's water just broke," he said, pointing at me.
"I'll be right back!" the nurse excliamed.
She ran off, returning a minute later with a rolling bed.
She, Hugo, and Willis loaded me onto it. She wheeled me down the hall into a private room.
" will be with you shortly," the nurse told us.
A few minutes of silent hand-holding later, a middle aged woman with short blond hair came in.
"Hi, honey," she greetd me. "I'll be helping you give birth to your baby. Do you know it's name."
I looked at Hugo.
"I have ideas," I told her.
"You're the father?" she asked Hugo.
"Yeah," he said. "Hugo."
"Who's last name are you using?" she asked.
"His," I said at the same time Hugo said, "hers."
"No," I scolded him. "Someday we'll be married and I'll have your last name. I wouldn't want the baby being 'Potter' if both it's parents are Weasley's."
"Potter? Weasley?" asked.
"Yeah," I told her. "Harry and Ginny Potter are my parents."
"And Ron and Hermione Weasley are mine," Hugo told her.
"Push," Langston instructed several hours later. "It's almost here!"
And with one last push, a baby boy was born.
Hugo sat in a chair next to my bed, holding my hand. Our family stood around us.
"What's his name?" Molly asked eagerly.
"Albus," I began. "Albus Ronald Weasley."
"I have a namesake!" Al all but screamed.
Uncle Ron smiled.
"May I hold him?" he asked quietly.
I handed Baby Albus to Hugo, who stood up and walked him across the room to Ron.
"Meet Grandpa," Hugo whispered to Albus.
When I woke up from a nap James was sitting where Hguo had been previously.
"You're awake," he said quietly.
"Yeah," I said coldly.
"Lily," James said. "I'm sorry I was such an ass. The things I said, they're not trust. I just, and it's no excuse, but I just was worried, and angry."
"I forgive you," I whispered.
"I'll be the best uncle!" James exclaimed.
"I know you will."
