Epilogue - New Start

22nd December 2006

'One more push Mrs Malfoy and then you'll baby will be here. One more push!' The midwife said as she looked at Hermione who was red in the face.

'Come on Hermione, one more push and our baby will be here.' Draco said as he wiped her forehead with a wet flannel.

'Ready Mrs Malfoy.' The midwife asked to which Hermione nodded. 'Go! One...two...three...four...'

'That's it Hermione!' Draco shouted as Hermione continued to push.

'Seven...eight...nine...It's a Girl!' The midwife shouted as she put their little girl on Hermione's chest.

The pink baby on her chest screamed with life and Hermione sobbed as she held her baby in her arms.

'You did it!' Draco said as he kissed her on the lips.

'She's perfect.' Hermione sobbed.

'She's Paige.' He replied as he let a tear fall down his face.

One hour later, family were allowed into Hermione's private room to see the new mother and baby. Hermione's parents and Draco's joined the new parents in the room to see their new Granddaughter.

'She's beautiful.' Hermione's mother said as she rocked the little girl in her arms.

'Looks so like you Hermione.' Her father said as he let his Granddaughter hold onto his finger. 'Just perfect.'

'She is.' Hermione replied with a tired smile.

After Hermione's parents left, Lucius held onto little Paige and sat in the arm chair with her. He whispered quietly to the little girl words of love and adoration. He thanked her for coming into the world safely; he thanked her for completing them finally.
