With a bit of maneuvering and one final push, Hermione felt the baby enter the world. A small cry filled the room, finally breaking the intense stare between Hermione and Loki. With a strangled sob, of happiness this time, Hermione watched as Healer Clara magically cleaned the newborn. Then, after wrapping her in a soft, pink blanket, Clara placed the child in Hermione’s waiting arms. Dropping a tender kiss upon the child’s tiny forehead, Hermione ignored the rush of emotions that made new tears cloud her vision. As the Healers took care of cleaning the bed and room, Hermione found she was unable to tear her eyes away from the beautiful, new baby she held.
