Chapter 38: Happy "Birth"day

The tight circle of pain surrounding her lower half woke Hermione from her sleep. A scream tore from deep inside of her. "Aw! That hurts so much!" She looked around the room she had been placed in; it was a comfortable bedroom scattered with greens and blues, and had lightly lit lamps on both sides of the bed.

The anxious face of a beautiful woman, with familiar green eyes and long red hair, held her hand. "It will be OK. We have contacted a trusted healer who will be here soon."

Hermione looked closer at the woman realizing that she also was pregnant. Her mind was still hazy as she tried to remember what had happened and why she was here .The last thing she could remember was being on top of the Astronomy Tower with Tom and Professor Dumbledore. Another image flashed through her mind of the time turner being thrown around her neck. Once again she groaned, but this time from the pain swelling in her heart. Hermione now realized what had happened. Professor Dumbledore has sent her somewhere else in time. He had hated Tom so much that he had taken away the only person he had ever cared for. The panic swelled inside of her and she desperately tried to think of a way that she could get back to Tom. She knew that this would not only devastate him, but also push him over the edge. The event had finally happened that would make his transformation from Tom Riddle to Lord Voldemort complete. She was no longer there to try and stem the tide. Why had she ever thought that she would be able to change this man? It was destined to happen that he would become the most evil wizard in history, Lord Voldemort

Right now, the one thing very real for her was the pain, it was becoming un-bearable. There was no doubt whatsoever that her son was on his way. This made her very worried considering that her due date was still a few weeks away.

"What's your name?" the woman, really a young woman just like her, was still sitting by her side." Is there anyone that we need to get a hold of for you, like your husband?" She looked down at the ring on her finger. She reached around to take Hermione's cloak off. Hermione could see the look of concern on her face as she once again screamed in pain.

"There's no one, I mean he can't be reached right now." It hurt so much to realize that she really was all alone in this world. Looking once again at the woman's face, she knew that she had seen her somewhere before. A man walked through the door and it made her heart jump. The man looked so much like Harry, but she knew it wasn't him. Quickly looking at the woman next to her and then to the Harry look-alike, reality struck.

"Oh Gods! Oh Gods! You're James and Lily Potter!" She saw the look of surprise in the eyes of Harry's parents.

"How do you know us? I can't remember ever meeting you before." Lily and James looked at one another as they waited for an answer from Hermione. The room was silent as the three people looked at each other. Hermione's mind raced at what she was going to tell them.

She could see the look of concern that they both had. Thinking back to the time period in which she had landed, the first war with Voldemort was in full swing. She could see the suspicion in their eyes. Imagine how they would act if they knew it was Lord Voldemort's child she was carrying?

" I know a few people who are in the order…Ohhh, Gods that hurts!" The pain was intensifying and she felt like she was going to throw up.

"Where is she?" Bustling through the door came a much younger Madam Pomfrey. "Oh, dear, we need to get her ready to deliver this baby." Madam Pomfrey shooed the men out of the room and closed the door. Lily stood by the bed as the Medi-witch did some diagnostic spells on Hermione.

"This baby is coming and I mean now!" Madam Pomfrey said and she hurried to prepare Hermione to give birth. "Let's get that baby out of you and safely in your arms." She smiled warmly at Hermione and patted her hand. Hermione gave another scream as her body rocked with the pains of childbirth.

Lord Voldemort sat on his throne-like chair looking bored. His minions were reporting on the latest activity of the Order of the Phoenix and why, once again, a well thought out plan had failed because of the idiocy of his followers. This second generation of Death Eaters was proving to be a bunch of bumbling idiots, compared to their predecessors who were the original Death Eaters. The only exceptions would have to be the two wizards standing close by, Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape.

"My Lord, I can explain about what happened." Goyle, on bended knee was stammering to explain the foiled attack on a Muggle family.

"I do not wish to hear anymore.." The Dark Lord bended over in pain clutching his abdomen. Gritting his teeth he held back the cry that was ready to come from his mouth. What in Bloody Hell was happening to him? He looked around the room trying to notice if anyone was casting some type of spell or curse on him. He bended over again, the pain more intense this time. Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape walked quickly over to their leader.

"My Lord, what is happening? What can we do to help?" Lucius even went on bended knee so as to see the Dark Lord's face. Lucius looked up to Severus for some help because he didn't know what to do. It was always a precarious position to be in trying to do The Dark Lord's bidding. If you tried to help and did it incorrectly, you were cursed. If you did not try to do anything at all, then you were cursed. There was never a win-win situation when it came to Lord Voldemort. He loved using the Cruciatus Curse so much and it gave him great pleasure.

"My Lord, perhaps it would be beneficial for you to go and lie down in your chambers. There maybe we can better assess what is happening to you." Snape's deep voice had a calming effect on The Dark Lord. Nodding his head, he stumbled out of his seat and staggered towards his room. If one didn't know better when watching him walk, he would appear to be drunk. Lucius went to grab his arm to balance him. "Get away from me man, I can walk to my own chamber."

Lucius jumped back quickly and got out of The Dark Lord's way. "I am deeply sorry My Lord." He bowed as he apologized not even garnering a glance from his master.

Once in the chamber, Lord Voldemort dropped onto the bed screaming out in pain this time. He clutched his stomach feeling as if tight bands were being pulled around him. Moaning in agony, he felt a chill go through him and he glanced down at his left hand in shock. The Eternal Flame tattoo, that was a twin to the one on Hermione's right hand, was lit up. The flames actually looked as if they were alive once again. He looked wildly around the room expecting to see Hermione standing in front of him. Ever since Hermione had disappeared all of those years ago, the flame had remained black and unmoving. Tonight was the first night it had shown any sign of life. He knew what this meant, Hermione was alive!

"One more push darling and your baby will be born." Madam Pomfrey was in ready position to help the baby out the rest of the way. The tiny head had crowned, covered with dark, wavy hair.

"Please just get it out! Oh... I can't take any more pain. " The tears were flowing and her hand was gripping Lily Potter's hand so hard, that she was also crying. Hermione glanced up to Lily and saw the pure terror in her eyes as she looked down at her own swollen belly and then to what was happening down at Hermione's other end. Giving one last push she heard Madam Pomfrey cry out, "There it is…a boy Miss, a beautiful baby boy!" She held the baby up for Hermione to look at. He was crying and looked positively slimy. Oh Gods please let him not be an ugly baby. Tom and she were not ugly people. How could they have had such a hideous looking child?

As if reading her mind, Madam Pomfrey laughed and put her worries to rest, "He will look a might better once I get him cleaned up here." Waving her wand she did a series of cleaning spells and then weighed and measured the baby. Lily handed her a blanket and she wrapped the newborn in the soft cotton wrap. She walked to Hermione's side and handed the baby over to her. "Here is your precious son."

Hermione clutched the newborn tightly to her and looked down at his face. Her son looked into her eyes and Hermione fell in love. This was her son she had waited many months for. He was so beautiful! He had an amazing head full of wavy dark hair that reminded her of Tom's. "Hello Thomas, I am your Mum."

"You need to try and nurse the babe Hermione." Madam Pomfrey broke her attuned adoration of the child. She looked up to her in confusion.

"I am not sure what I am supposed to do?" Hermione looked over to Lily who also looked clueless about how to go about starting the nursing process.

Madam Pomfrey gently opened Hermione's gown and pulled Hermione's large breast out. "You need to try and help him latch on to your breast like this." She helped guide the breast into Thomas's mouth. Thankfully the baby latched on easily and began to suckle. "You are lucky Hermione, because not all babies catch on that quickly." Hermione looked down to see her son greedily suckling on her breast. She smiled up at Madam Pomfrey.

She grabbed Lily's hand in excitement,"Thank you so much for your help tonight Lily I couldn't have…" but that was all Hermione was able to get out before Lily interrupted her.

"What is that on your hand? Is that a tattoo?" Lily was gripping her right hand and turning it in several different directions. "Hermione your tattoo is on fire!"

Sure enough, when Hermione looked down at her hand, The Eternal Flame tattoo was lit up. She knew what this meant and that now Tom knew that she was alive. His tattoo would also be lit up and inflamed. The Dark Lord would now be on the hunt looking for her. Looking down at Thomas she felt scared for him and knew that she needed to protect this child from todays' Lord Voldemort. What would he do if he knew his son lived? Would he try to take the baby away from her? Hermione rocked her baby and softly stroked his hair. She would do everything in her power to keep her son safe; even if it meant Lord Voldemort never finding out about the child. There was no way of knowing whether or not they would be safe around him. She knew from history that he had changed so much since the year she had disappeared. All of this worry hurt her heart. Right now there was nothing she could do but take care of Thomas until she found out more about what Tom had turned into. She missed not having "her" Tom there, at the birth of baby Thomas, as they had always planned. It was all so wrong. Right now she really hated Albus Dumbledore for taking that moment away from her, from them. Hermione tried to ignore the flaming tattoo as she rocked and nursed her son, and hummed quietly to him.

The baby is here safe and sound. I hope that you enjoyed this chapter where Thomas was born. I know that we all have been waiting anxiously for him to get here.

Author's Notes: In my story Abraxas Malfoy will have already died by 1980, even though in JK's timeline he may not have died until the 1990s. Just thought I would let you know because the purists out there would bring this up.
