Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter universe and make no money from this. Also Kylie belongs to PurebloodGirl. I do not own anything, not even the sequel to this story. Wait- sequel? Yup!

A/N: Thank you to all of the lovely people who followed me, favourited me, PMed me, reviewed and have supported me while I wrote this fic. It means so much!

So without further ado, here is the epilauge you've been waiting for:

Chapter Ten: Epilogue: It's Only Just Begun

"Come on, Hermione! Just get her out! You rode a bloody dragon but you can't push out a-"

"Fred Gideon Weasley! Don't you DARE finish that sentence! Just because I'm in labour doesn't mean I can't -and won't- hex you!" Hermione, his wife of two years, screamed.

"What's wrong with saying you're having a baby? You know you're having a baby, I know your having a baby- I bet old Dumbles can hear it from where he is!"

"Why I ought to-" Hermione's threat was cut off as she once again screamed in pain.

Not long after, Kylie Jean Granger entered the world. A buundle of tears, just like her parents, and she bore Fred's mischevious smirk already. Hermione thought she was the most beautiful thing she had ever laid eyes on.

"May I hold her?" Hermione asked the Medi Witch who was attending her.

"Of course!" The short woman said with a smile, handing over Kylie.

"Hello Kylie." Hermione looked down at the small bundle, fragile and tired. A few shaky breaths came from Hermione, the only notice before the tears started falling hot and fast, trickling down her cheeks.

"Hermione? What's the matter?" Fred asked soothingly, moving so he could rub small circles on his wife's back.

"Just look at her, Fred. She's so perfect...she's ours! What if I'm not a good mother? What if she hates me and the danger we could still be in? The war has been over for years, but when Harry owls me suggesting I take precautions while giving birth? That scares me Fred. I love her so much, I- I don't want anything to happen to her..." Hermione gasped, tears still streaming down her flushed cheeks. Fred shushed her and pulled his wife and daughter into his arms.

"My girls. My two beautiful girls. Hermione, I'm not going to say you'll be a perfect parent but neither will I! But it's our first time, and I'm sure we'll be learning as we go. But in fact, I'm more worried about all the other women who might be giving birth- you easily bought all the books on parenting in both the wizard and muggle worlds." He said with a loving chuckle. He placed a kiss on her forehead, slowly rocking the two most important things in his life.

Regardless of the next day, or any of the many years to follow, that night would be stitched indelibly upon his soul and in his heart for the rest of his life.
If Fred had to describe the feeling of becoming a father, the only word that could easily come to mind would be 'indescribable'. Holding his baby daughter wasn't something he expected to be doing then, but it was perfect. He loved Kylie with his every ounce of his very soul, and Hermione smiled when he voiced that thought. Their daughter would undoubtedly receive stares, she would obviously feel pressured to be like them, and people would hate her or love her by her family name. Hermione hoped that someday Kylie would meet someone who didn't care about her name, but just wanted to be with her.

There was a comfortable silence in their secluded room, only being broken every now and then with a beep of a machine. At Hermione's request, certain muggle monitors were also in the room, the muggleborn Healers understanding why she'd feel more comfortable with the machines and giving birth the 'muggle way'.

"Fred? Do you remember the first time you told me you loved me was also in a hospital? That Valentine's when I got splinched?"

"Of course I do, love. How could I not?" The tall man smiled into her hair, resting his head against hers.

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh I'm just thinking...All of our important moments seem to be in a hospital. After the Death Eater attack about eight months ago, the doctors gave me a check up, saying they had to make sure the baby was okay."

"I still can't believe you made me find out that I was going to be a father while you were in critical condition."

"I was going to tell you at dinner that night." Hermione declared firmly.

"Sure you were. What else happened here?"

"You proposed at a muggle hospital- not the most romantic..."

"Your father was sick! I had to get his permission to marry you! It wasn't my fault the doctors weren't sure he'd make it and he did! Of course I'm so glad he did but his timing was very off."

The pair sat quietly once more, soft smiles etched on their faces.

"So: I told you I loved you in a hospital, I proposed to you in a hospital, I found out you were pregnant in a hospital, and you gave birth in a hospital. My, what... hospitalized lives we lead!" He teased the brunette.

"I wouldn't want it any other way." Hermione replied, leaning up to give him a kiss.

"We've come so far in the past four years since that Valentine`s, haven't we love?"

"That we have," she mused.

"And better yet, it's only just begun."
