Before 19 Years Later

Just Days Away... Or Not

Ron P.O.V.
I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe how big Hermione was. I couldn't believe that we were only days away from meeting the twins that had been growing inside Hermione for 3 months. It had passed quicker than I thought it would. I still remember when I felt them kick for the first time...
•Flashback•
I walked into mine and Mione's living room. The apartment-type place we were given was quite nice and I really enjoyed staying there.
Hermione was lying on the couch, a mountain of pillows surrounding her all evenly spread out almost like a throne. She had her feet propped up on another pillow on the tea table. There was a book balanced perfectly on top of her bump while her hair was tied up in a sloppy bun. She was absolutely beautiful even in that state. She was so engrossed in her book she didn't notice me walk in.
"Would you like something to eat?" I asked announcing my presence and startling her so much that she dropped her book. Her eyes snapped up to meet mine.
"Food? You got some? I've been starving for the last hour but have been too lazy to get up and actually make something." I smiled at that. I knew it wasn't just laziness. Ever since she started getting bigger her back had been extremely sore as well as her feet and ankles. It hurt me to see her in pain that I couldn't control so I did everything I possibly could for her. I gave her messages and helped her into and out of warm baths. I had even been trying to learn how to cook so that she didn't have to. I admit that wasn't going well and I'd have to make midnight kitchen runs for her cravings. I did know how to make a few dishes and it was just my luck that that was what she was craving at that moment.
I went into the small kitchen we had and started to cook but I kept my ears trained on the living room in case Hermione needed me. It was then my thought train ran off its tracked when I heard a sound of shock come from the living room.
I left what I was doing immediately to see what was wrong with my love.
When I got to the living room what I saw did nothing to ease my panic. Hermione was clutching her stomach, staring down at it in shock.
I was over by her side in a second my arms around her a moment after.
"What's happening? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" The words were rushing out of my mouth, fear clearly there.
"Nothing's wrong! Not at all! I felt them kick Ron! They actually moved inside me! Here feel." She said taking my hands and guiding them to the spot where the kick was aimed. The moment my skin made contact with her middle I felt a small but clearly there push against my palm. I looked at her in happiness, all fear and panic and worry gone and in its place was joy. I couldn't believe it, I could feel them!
"Since when do they do that?" I asked.
"Well I've been feeling little flutters the past few days but nothing you would be able to feel from the outside. But I was just stroking my stomach and I felt them kick, on the outside!" She exclaimed excitedly.
It was an extraordinary feeling to know that I was going to be a father.
     •Back the the Present•
That was almost a month ago, now Hermione was almost twice that size. It was getting harder and harder for her to find a comfortable position to sleep in or get up to walk around. I was just reminding her that there was only a few days left when all of a sudden she let out a gasp of pain and clutched her stomach. She started to breath heavy and something wet trickled down her leg. I knew what was happening before it even registered in my brain.
"We need to get you to the hospital wing, now." I said as calmly as I could manage. She nodded at me pain evident from her scrunched up features. I quickly threw on a shirt and some pants not really paying attention to what I was wearing. All my focus was on Hermione, she was slowly trying to get out of the bed but she couldn't quite manage. I was by her side in a moment and helped her get into a sitting position. She mumbled something like 'I need to change', and so that's what I helped her do. I picked her up and carried her to the hospital wing bridal style.

Hermione P.O.V
Pain that's all I felt. It rippled through me and I couldn't do anything about it. I was vaguely aware of Ron carrying me and setting me down on what I assumed was a hospital bed. His warm embrace was gone and I felt lost without it. I assumed he'd went to get Madem Pomfrey because the next time I felt his touch it was accompanied by a soothing woman's voice that asked all kind of questions. I barely paid any attention and allowed my thoughts to take me to another place. I was about to become a mother. The thought alone scared me so much so that I broke out of my thoughts. And finally focused on Ron's face next to mine. It was so filled with love that I knew I had to be strong and push through this.
It was hours later when I finally heard the words that would allow my children to come into the world.
"It's time to push." And so I did. I pushed for what felt like hours but was only a few minutes before I felt my first born leave me. My child's screams filled the air and I thought it was the most beautiful song. It was a girl. I soon felt more contractions and knew that my second born was eager to join its sister. I repeated the process and my second born was a son.

I held my daughter first. She had flaming red hair and a face that resembled mine perfectly. She was 5lbs 4oz.
I held my son next his hair wasn't as fiery as his sisters and his face was all Ron except for the nose, that was mine.
They were perfect. At some point Harry and Ginny came in to meet their niece and nephew. Ginny came over and took my son from me and Harry went straight to Ron to take my baby girl.
"What are their names?" Harry's voice brought me from my reverie. Ginny looked at my expectantly.
I looked at Ron and he nodded we had discussed their names before the new aunt and uncle came. I smiled and looked over to Ginny,
"Well Ginny you are holding baby Hugo Arthur Weasley-"
I switched my gaze over to Harry "- and you are holding baby Rose Molly Weasley."
