Chapter 43: The Chosen One is Born

The screams coming from Hermione's room woke up the entire household. James and Lily came running into the room to see Hermione sobbing, lying across her bed. She was rubbing a spot on her chest and had a pained look on her face. Baby Thomas was crying after having been woken up by his mother's screams. Lily went and scooped Thomas in her arms and tried to comfort him. James sat down by Hermione, putting his arms around her.

"What wrong? Are you just having another bad dream?" James asked, not really sure what to say to the distraught woman.

"It's more than that." Hermione looked at James and Lily." He knows what happened." The Potters looked at each other with great concern. Any outsider would think that she sounded a bit round the bend.

"Who knows what Hermione?" Lily stood close by as she bounced Thomas in her arms. Her movements were starting to quiet down the fussy baby.

"Him, Thomas's father. He knows what happened between me and Sirius." All of what she said still didn't make much sense. "He is a very powerful wizard, and we have always been connected until recently. Somehow he has mended our connection and is letting me know how unhappy he is with me." Hermione continued the rocking motion on her bed, her arms wrapped around her legs. "He will kill me and take Thomas. I know he will want the baby. It was meant to be." There was a scared and hollow look in Hermione's eyes, as her voiced dropped off.

Lily placed Thomas in James's arms. 'Why don't you go downstairs and make some tea for us. I need to talk to Hermione alone." James shook his head, sighed, and left the room muttering something about women to Thomas.

"Now Hermione, how do you really know that Thomas's father was angry with you? Are you sure it just wasn't a bad dream brought on by a bought of guilt?" Hermione sat motionless, not acknowledging Lily or what she said. "We shouldn't have pushed you to go out with Sirius before you were ready." Lily reached out and took Hermione's hands in hers." Gods, you just had another man's baby! What were we thinking?"

Hermione sniffed, and wiped away some tears. "Lily, this isn't your fault. None of this is anyone's fault, but my bad judgment and mine alone. I should have known better." She ended her sentence in a whisper. Hermione was thinking about Tom and his horrendous bad temper. She could only imagine that it had gotten worse since she had disappeared, due to Dumbledore's treachery. She sat, trying

to stop the shakes, knowing that there wasn't any way that she could disclose who fathered baby Thomas. With the war going on now, they might possibly think that she was a spy.

"Oh that really hurts!" Lily rubbed her large stomach. "I keep thinking that these pains are the real ones this time. They feel very different and take my breath away." Lily sat looking at Hermione with a worried look on her face. "I'm getting scared Hermione. What if something happens to my baby?"

Hermione tried not to smile wanting to tell her that baby Harry would be born safely, and soon. The bigger problem was figuring out how to protect the family eighteen months from now when Lord Voldemort would come calling.

Lily, "I know that everything will be just fine. I have a very good feeling about your baby." She felt better thinking about her friend, and not dwelling on the reality of Tom being angry with her.

"I hope that you're right. I'm done with being pregnant. My feet and back hurt so much! I can't take much more of this." Lily flopped back onto Hermione's bed. She looked up at her new friend. "Are you feeling any better? I'm sure that you just had a very vivid and terrible dream."

Hermione nodded, "You're probably right." Hermione knew better though, and knew what this all meant. It was time to find where Tom was, and she needed to face him. She couldn't hide any longer.

The Dark Lord sat on his throne moping. He'd been calling for Hermione all night long. Why was she hiding from him? She must have felt his anger, and chances were that she knew why. He'd finally decided, after many hours of simmering in anger, that he really didn't want to kill Hermione. She was his love, his mate, and the mother of his child. Sirius Black though, he still was on his list to die a very painful death .No man would touch his woman and live to brag about it.

He thought back to the Death Eaters meeting earlier that night, and the orders that had been given…

Voldemort had stood in the middle of the circle, dressed in a blood red robe. The Death Eaters knew what the color choice of his robe meant: someone would be dying soon. Most of them stood still, not daring to move. A few shifted slightly with nervousness. It was never a good sign when their leader stood there glaring around the circle.

"One of my faithful servants has brought me some unwanted news." The Dark Lord turned towards where he knew Severus Snape was standing, or trembling in his place. He walked over to Snape and stood in front of him. They all knew that someone would soon be at the end of a Cruciatus Curse. "Lucky for him, it is more than what the rest of you sluggards have found for me." With that, The Dark Lord waved his hand, and every other Death Eater, besides Snape, fell to the floor in agony. He held the curse until the room echoed with the moans and screams of his followers. "Let this be a lesson to you who are waiting for others to do the hard work. Come Severus, sit by me tonight in honor of your valiant service."

Snape followed his Master, and waited to sit until Lord Voldemort had sat upon his throne. "You may rise and come forward. " He waited to speak until all of his Death Eaters were gathered around him. "Hermione has been found." The gasps of surprise were heard along with a few cheers. "Unfortunately, she was found with one of our enemies, Sirius Black, a member of The Order." Cries of "What a Tosspot" and "He's a Bastard" were flung around the room.

"Yes, my followers, I feel the same way. He has dared touch something that belongs to me. So, from this time forward all of our efforts will be in apprehending this man." He said loudly. "He will be brought here to me, Alive! Do I make myself clear? Anyone that thinks to kill him will suffer the same fate. I wish to show him what happens when he defiles my woman." The Dark Lord rose from his throne. "Now, go make yourselves worthwhile to me and find him." He walked through the circle and out of the room. The Death Eaters scattered as soon as they saw their Master leave.

Now Tom sat, wondering how long it would take until Sirius Black would be found. He would torture the man until he described the nature of his relationship with Hermione, and then continue torturing him until her shared where they were hiding her. He would not be kept from his woman and his child any longer. It had been way too long since he had held his beautiful Hermione in his arms. It still made him ill to think of how she had looked the last time he had seen her. The look of horror she had, when Dumbledore had place the time turner around her neck. Then of course she had begged the Dumbledore not to harm their child. Then the pleading way she had looked to him to save her. He had been helpless and had blamed Dumbledore ever since. He looked out the window and noticed the sun was starting to rise. He hadn't slept all night as he had been trying to contact Hermione. Tom rose from his throne, staggered to his bedroom, where he promptly dropped onto his bed and fell into a dreamless sleep.

The banging on the door made Hermione jump out of bed. Quickly opening the door she stared at a frantic James Potter. "It's time Hermione, Lily says its time." She tried to clear her head enough to understand what he was talking about.

"The baby is on his way? Let me grab my robe." James ran his hand through his typical unruly hair. He tried not to notice the short pajama set Hermione wore that hugged her behind. Now was not the time and he ran back to Lily. He heard Hermione coming up right behind him.

Lily lay on their bed screaming in pain. "Hermione what do I do now? This is so painful. Why didn't you tell me it hurt this much?" Lily crumpled over in pain hugging her belly.

"Have you called Madam Pomfrey? She needs to be here and I'm sure that she is still at Hogwarts for the summer." James looked around in confusion, trying to decide what to do and how to do it. "Here" Hermione said. She took his hand and sat him down on the bed next to Lily. "I will go floo call her myself and you stay here and try to help Lily start focusing and slowing down her breathing."

Hermione ran down the stairs, throwing floo powder in the fireplace, "Madam Pomfrey, Hospital Wing, Hogwarts. Madam Pomfrey? Madame Pomfrey? " Hermione yelled as loud as she could.

"Yes, this is Madam Pomfrey, who is this? How can I help you?" a much younger Poppy Pomfrey stuck her head through. This made Hermione jump back in surprise looking at Poppy.

"Yes, I am a friend of James and Lily Potter." Hermione said. "She is in labor and ready to have Ha-, ready to have her baby. Please come quickly to Godrics Hollow." Hermione couldn't believe that she almost said Harry's name. It was hard keeping everything straight with her journey through so many times.

"Well then, please step aside, I will be coming through." Hermione shuffled backwards to allow Madam Pomfrey to come through to the Potters carrying a large bag. "Where is she young lady?"

"Right this way, up the stairs, please." Hermione ran up the stairs with the healer right behind. Opening the Potter's door, they saw Lily leaning back against James, with tears rolling down her face. The moans coming from Lily were even more pitiful sounding.

"Please Poppy, get this baby out now. I don't have much strength left." Lily said with an over-dramatic flair. Hermione wondered if this is what she sounded like when she gave birth to Thomas.

"Oh posh, child. You will have this child and do it as the strong witch that you are. You are not the first woman to give birth and you won't be the last." Poppy dropped her bag and started examining Lily. Hermione tried not to laugh at Poppy's tone. It was just like her to be straight forward and to the point.

"Hermione, will you go and get Sirius and Remus? They wanted to be here when the baby was born." James looked at Hermione like he would rather be the one to go get them instead. "Ow!" Lily gripped his hands as she was working through another contraction.

Hermione peeked into her bedroom to check on Thomas, who was obliviously sleeping through all of the drama. She smiled as her son cooed happily in his sleep. Thomas rolled over to his side and put his thumb in his mouth. Down the hallway Lily could be heard screaming again. Hermione ran back downstairs and apparated to Sirius's house. "Sirius, Remus, wake up? Lily is having her baby. You need to come back to their house now." Hermione ran through the house until she came to the bedrooms. She knocked on both bedroom doors. "Wake up you two, Lily is having her baby."

One of the doors swung open and Sirius stood there in a pair of boxers and nothing else. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This is a nice good morning surprise love." He looked Hermione up and down, noticing her scant pajamas under her open robe. His arms wrapped around her and brought her close to his chest. "Would you like to see what my bed looks like? I just put on clean sheets." He lowered his head and captured her lips before she had time to protest. Once again Hermione found this unscrupulous man hard to resist. Sirius pulled Hermione towards his bed, twirling her around and they both fell down. Hermione looked up at Sirius, "You are so exquisite," he said softly; as he leaned down to kiss her once again. His hands moved down to brush along the sides of her neck and ending up on her breasts. Hermione lost all train of thought as Sirius kissed the hollow of her neck, as his hands were busy doing wonderful things to her breasts.

"Excuse me you two, but didn't you say something about Lily having the baby?" Remus stood leaning against the doorframe with a grin on his face. His words startled Hermione and Sirius who both jumped at the sound of his voice.

"Oh Gods, what am I doing?" Hermione started hitting Sirius, "You made me forget what I was doing here." Sirius grabbed her hands and tried not to laugh. "It's not funny! We need to get back to James and Lily. They need us right now."

"I think that they are perfectly capable of bringing their child into the world." Sirius said. His cocky tone was not lost on Hermione. Trust him to always be thinking of himself. This was a side of Sirius that had always gotten on her nerves before.

"Sirius I'm not joking, we need to get back." Hermione said. "Anyhow, Thomas will be waking up and want to be fed."

"Yes, I was noticing how that might be a problem right now." Sirius looked down at Hermione's front. Looking down, she noticed how her milk had let down because of his explorations, and having not fed her baby yet."

"Oh, come on both of you, now!" Hermione pushed her way past Sirius and Remus.

"You really have a way with women, don't you Sirius?" Remus stood there shaking his head. Sirius walked by his friend slugging him in the arm.

"She's a bossy one isn't she? I like that in a woman." Sirius wagged his eyebrows at his friend. "I also think that they are tigers in the bedroom." He snarled like a tiger. "I would have found out if you hadn't interrupted us."

Remus walked past him, hitting him back. "You are hopeless my friend. You are always thinking with the wrong head." Sirius shrugged his shoulders and grinned, not denying anything.

Sirius, Remus and Hermione sat quietly in the front room. The only sound was Thomas making his tiny baby noises. Hermione made silly faces at her son, while Sirius stared at Hermione, and Remus stared at Sirius while he stared at Hermione. Several hours had passed and still the baby had not been born. Finally, the sound of a newborn crying filled the subtle house. All three of them looked at each other waiting to hear news about the baby.

Soon, James came down the stairs carrying a small bundle, wrapped up tightly in a yellow blanket. Puffs of black hair poked out of the top. "It's a boy! Meet Harry James Potter." Hermione smiled and cried at the same time. Sirius and Remus clapped James on the back. "He is healthy and strong, and Lily is doing just fine."

Hermione put Thomas down in the nearby cradle and reached for the newborn. James reverently placed him in Hermione's arms. She sat back down and pulled back the blanket to look at the new Potter. There was the already, unruly, black hair that she would someday be continually trying to comb down. The men were cheerfully congratulating the new father. Hermione leaned down and whispered into the baby's ear, "Welcome home Harry! It's so good to see you alive again." She hugged the baby close, and felt the tears falling freely on her face. "Now, I need to work on keeping everyone alive."
