A Promise Never Forgotten: Revised
Chapter 13: 4 years later
Hermione awoke from a dream-like state and sleepily took in her surroundings; once again she was in a hospital room, although this time it was for happiness instead of heartbreak. Her gaze stopped off to her side, where George stood over a bassinet.
"Can I see them?" Hermione whispered quietly to not disturb her newborn twin boys.
George gave her a soft look and a nod before rolling the crib over to her bedside. Hermione rolled onto her side with a little help from her husband and peered in to look at her sleeping children.
She could clearly see tufts of red hair already starting to peak out from under the identical blue caps that the boys were wearing. And she had a strong suspicion that they both had, like her, brown eyes.
"Have you decided on what you want to name yours?" That is what they had decided when they found out that they were going to have twins is that each of them could name a child.
Hermione stayed quiet for a second while thinking about the few names that she was still considering before stopping on one and nodded slowly while still looking down into the crib.
"You want to go first then?" George asked while playing with the tiny fingers of one of his sons.
"I was thinking Liam James Weasley for this one." She said while running a finger down the newly named baby's cheek. "What about you?"
"Well." He said before pausing and carefully lifted the other twin out of the crib to be cradled in his arms. "I wanted to name this one Andrew Michael Weasley"
George lifted his head just in time to see a suprised expression register on his wife's face.
"Are you sure?" She asked slowly.
"Yes." George answered firmly, "As strange as it sounds if it hadn't been for him then I would have never gotten the opportunity to fulfill my promise. And for that I would like to name my child after him. That is, if it is alright with you?"
Hermione's expression gradually softened as she thought about what George said and then her mind was brought back to the letter that she had received from Andrew all those years ago in the hospital. When he had said that part of her heart still belonged to George he had been right. And the fact that Andrew sacrificed his happiness in favor of hers, honestly as much as she would have liked to, in the end she couldn't stay angry with his decision. In reality she would thank him because she wouldn't have the life that she has now if it weren't for his decision. And that's something that she is very grateful for.
"Hermione?" George lays a hand on Hermione's, pulling her out of her thoughts.
She looked up to see George's concerned expression and focused on the twin that was still in his arms.
"You know." Hermione paused while watching George hold his breath waiting for an answer. "I think that's a great idea."
George let out a relieved sigh before smiling, "So it's decided then, Liam James Weasley and Andrew Michael Weasley?"
"Sounds perfect." Hermione sat up and pulled Liam out of the bassinet as George came to sit next to her with Andrew. They cooed over the twins for a few minutes before Hermione spoke.
"Hey George?" She said leaning her head against her husband's shoulder.
George hummed in response meaning for her to go on while singing a lullaby under his breath to his son.
"Thanks for keeping your promise."
A/N: It's finally done and I'm actually really happy with the way it turned out (regardless of all the writer's block I experienced with it.) :) Thank you to everyone who has left reviews over the past 5 years, especially the ones that had constructive criticism. Because honestly without it I probably would have never wanted to re-write this story and chances are that I would have abandoned it years ago. I really honestly feel like I became a better writer because of it. And definitely thank you to all the ones filled with endless support, you guys are the ones who kept me going to push to finish this, I just hope I lived up to your expectations. :)
