Ch. 10 The Birth of Skylar

"Rose are you here?" I enter the quiet house. I walk back to the kitchen to find Rose making a cup of tea. "Hey, Rose. How are you doing?" I asked as I make a cup of tea for myself.

"I'm ready for this baby to come out." Rose moaned.

"Sorry. I have news for you." I lead her to a chair by the table.

"Thank you. So, tell me the news you have." She breathes. I took a seat at the table.

"You know that Lorcan and I had dinner at Lorcan's parents." I took breath.

"How was dinner?" Rose interrupted.

"Dinner was great. I talked to Luna and it was fun to see Lorcan and Lysander together." I said. "Hey, you got me off track." Rose smiled. "Let's get back on track. When we got home, we went into my room and…"

"Oh, my. You had sex." Rose shouted. "Oh." Rose's eyes widen.

"Is everything okay?" I asked with worry in my voice.

"My water just broke." Rose screamed. I guess she just had a contraction.

I jumped up and started running around the room. "We need to get you to St. Mungo's."

"Calm down, Lily! Go and grab my bag that is by the door and meet me by the fireplace." I ran out of the room to grab the bag. I found Rose by the fireplace. We floo over to the hospital.

Rose and I run over to the front desk. Who directed us to the Maternity ward, where they set us up in a room?

"Have you owl Scorpius?" Rose said though a contraction.

"I'm going to do it right now." I ran from the room to owl Scorpius. "I owl him, he should be here soon. Along with your parents." I was out breath when I said that.

"Did you owl Lorcan, too." I don't know why I told her about Lorcan being worried about me. I roll my eyes, which makes Rose laughed.

I sat with her until Scorpius gets here; he got here in the five minutes after I sent the owl. Now I'm in the waiting room with my aunt and uncle. I see that they are nervous about their first grandchild and Rose. Aunt Hermione catches my eye and smiles.

A nurse comes over ten minutes later, "Miss Potter," I look up at her to see her holding a letter. I take the letter and thank her. I could tell whom it is from on the writing on the front. I make my excuses and go to reply to the letter.

I come back to see the doctor coming out of Rose's room. He smiles as he walks by us. I look at my aunt. "How is she?" I asked.

"She is doing good, but it going to be awhile before anything happens. You may want to go home, Lily. We will let you know when the baby get here."

"No, I want to be here." I took a seat next to my uncle, who smiles at me.

"Lily, why didn't you tell me that Rose was in labor." Lorcan ran down the hall.

"Because I didn't think you need to know." I roll my eyes. "Let's see who I had to let know. There was Scorpius." I counted on my hand. "And I think that was all." Hermione and Ron were trying to hide their smile.

"It would be nice to know." Lorcan mumbled under his breath.

"What was that?" I asked him.

"Nothing." He said under her breath. He took a seat on the other chair next to me.

We sat there was about an hour. "Lily, lets get something to eat." Lorcan broke the quietness in the waiting room.

"Sure." I turn to my aunt and uncle. "Do you want something?"

"Ye…" Uncle Ron started to say before Aunt Hermione elbowed him in the stomach.

"No, dear." Aunt Hermione smiled. I nodded and went over to Lorcan.

We went up to the tearoom and grabbed two cups of tea and cakes. We grabbed a table in the corner. "I'm sorry for yelling at you in front of your aunt and uncle." Lorcan apologized.

"It's okay. I should have told you. I didn't think. I'm sorry." I smiled at him.

"So are we okay." Lorcan smiled back. "We should bring Ron something back." I nodded and finished my tea.

Five minutes later, we walk back in the waiting room. "We brought you some tea." I hand a cup to each of them. While we were gone Hugo showed up. "Hey, what took you so long to get here?" I smile at him.

"I couldn't leave my restaurant before we close. And if I know my sister, she won't have this baby to soon." Hugo smiled back at me. We took a seat and waited for Rose to have her baby.

At some point I fell asleep because Lorcan was waking me up. "Lily, the baby here." He whispers in my ear. I open my eyes to see Scorpius standing in the doorway looking happy and tried at the same time. I look around the room to find Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron were hugging and crying. Hugo looked like a proud uncle. I look at Lorcan to see him wipe a tear from his face.

I smile up at him. "Are you okay?" He nodded to tell me he was okay. I hug him.

"What is it?" Uncle Ron asked his son-in-law.

"A boy." Scorpius couldn't shake the smile. Aunt Hermione ran over to him and hugged him.

"What did you name him?" I asked him. Scorpius looked over to Lorcan and me. He had a sparkle in his eyes like he knew a secret that he couldn't tell.

"Skylar Timothy Malfoy." The proud father said. "Ron, Hermione would you like to meet your grandson." They nodded and left with Scorpius.

"What kind of name is Skylar?" Hugo asked out loud after his parents left.

"Rose loved to watch old American TV shows." I told them.

Hugo shakes his head. "You spend to much time with Rose."

Lorcan nods his head in agreement. "If I can't find Lily at work all I have to do is call over to Rose's to find her." I elbowed him in the stomach. "Did you learn that from your aunt." He grabs his stomach in pain.

"Don't piss me off and you will live." I look at my nails. Hugo was trying not to laugh at us.

"Hey you three, do you want to see the baby." Uncle Ron popped his head in the waiting room. We nod and follow him out.

We enter the room to a tried Rose; she looked like she played all day at Quidditch. I walk over to her. "How are you doing?" I asked her.

"I feel for my mother when she yells that she was labor for nine hours with me. We are not having another for a few years. I can't wait until you go though this." Rose looked over at her mother, who was holding Skylar. She looked like a proud mother and I was glad for her.

I walked over to Aunt Hermione and look over her shoulder to see the baby. Skylar was bald with the Scorpius' gray eyes. "He beautiful, Rose." Aunt Hermione turned around.

"Would you like to hold him?" I nodded and she put Skylar in my arms. He was so small. He was trying to break free of the blanket that he was wrap in. I look over to see Lorcan and Hugo standing together, so I walk over to them.

"Would you guys like to hold Skylar?" I hand Skylar to Hugo for him to hold. Hugo looks like he didn't know what he was doing. He handed Skylar over to Lorcan very quickly.

Lorcan look like he has been holding babies for years. It made me think that he could be holding our baby. Our baby would have his eyes and the Weasley red hair. Lorcan caught my eye and smiled. They read that he loved me even if he would never say it.

"Lily, Hugo," Scorpius broke the silence "We would like you too to be Skylar's godparents?" Hugo and I both nodded. Lorcan handed Skylar back to his parents.

"I think it's time for everyone to leave this family to rest, because if I know the Weasley they are going to be here tomorrow. And we all need to find our beds." Lorcan said. We left soon after that to go home and sleep.
