Charlie stood in shock in the middle of the corridor. "You- you think your water just broke?" He asked weakly. 

"I do," Adria answered with a small chuckle as her eyes began to water. "I think the baby's coming!" Charlie seemed to snap out of his daze and he began to panic. 

"But the baby wasn't supposed to come for another week!" He exclaimed. 

"Charlie, this is happening now, whether you like it or not. Now, we have to go find Juliane and Bill and then a healer so I can deliver my child." She said, walking slowly down the hall to the dining area. Charlie quickly spotted a wheelchair and pushed Adria into it. The woman let out a sound of protest. "I can walk y'know." She said, before wincing slightly. "Okay, wheelchair it is." Charlie moved quickly, spotting Juliane walking out of the cafeteria. 

"JULIANE!" He yelled, she looked over and her eyes widened. 

"Charlie, Adria, what happened?" Juliane asked, jogging over. She turned around swiftly and suddenly before shouting, "Bill get over here!" He came running out of the cafeteria and to the couple. 

"What's wrong? Adria? Are you okay?" He asked looking at the woman worriedly. 

"Yeah, so you know how the baby wasn't supposed to come for another few weeks? Well... Surprise, the baby's coming now." Adria said through clenched teeth. 

"What?!" Juliane exclaimed, slapping Charlie on the arm. "What are you doing standing around for? Get her to a healer, and into a room!" Charlie nodded swiftly, before running away. The only problem was, he forgot Adria. 

"Charlie, get back here and with your fiancee this time." Adria yelled after him. Charlie came running back, shaking his head slightly. 

"Right. Come on." He said wheeling her down the corridor. They got to the front desk and Charlie began talking to the woman behind the desk. She nodded and directed them to a room, telling the two that a healer would be there shortly. 

"Those two are a mess." Juliane chuckled, shaking her head. 

"Hey, they're going to have a child. Cut them some slack." Bill laughed. They walked to the front desk. "Hi. The couple that was just here, you directed them to a room I believe. The woman was in a wheelchair. Can we go and see them? Or, alert our family that the girl's in labor?" Bill asked. The lady sighed, looking up boredly at him. 

"Yeah sure." She drawled. The two hurried by and to the room that had Adria and Charlie in it. 

"Hey," Juliane said, watching as Adria sat calmly on the bed, smiling at Charlie who looked like he was going to faint. "What's up with Charlie?" 

"Well, he's not prepared for birth. I mean the baby wasn't supposed to come for another week, and he just isn't ready for the baby yet." Adria grinned. Bill let out a laugh and gave Charlie a pat on the back. 

"Oh man up. You act like you're the one giving labor." He said. Charlie glared at Bill. 

"My child is being born, man, I'm nervous don't tease me." 

"Sorry sorry." Bill put up his hands in mock surrender. "I'm going to go get mum and the rest of the family. You also have to owl your parents Adria. They'll want to see you." 

"Oh shoot. Jules, can you please get me my parchment?" Adria asked but the witch had other ideas. She grinned at Adria who gave her friend a questioning look, which contorted into one of slight pain as another contraction began. 

"What?" Charlie seemed to read his fiancee's mind as he turned to Juliane with a questioning look. 

"I know how we can get into contact with Adria's parents in a... Quicker manner." Juliane answered, pacing slightly. "I just need..." She trailed off, looking around frantically. "Oh come on! Where's Percy when you need him." 

"Percy as in my brother Percy?" Charlie asked. Juliane shook her head. 

"No. Percy as in Demigod of the sea. I need some mist." A brief look of annoyance flashed upon Juliane's face as she glanced around, then she slapped a hand to her forehead. "What was I thinking. I'm a witch!" After her brief moment of realization, Juliane pulled her wand out of her hair. The red curls came tumbling down past her shoulders. She muttered a spell and mist came pouring out of the tip of her wand, creating shifting rainbows as she searched her pockets and pulled out a golden coin. She tossed it into the mist and muttered something. The group watched as the mist shimmered and the image of Adria's parents began to form. Adria's mouth hung open in shock as she saw her parents. 

"Mum!" She exclaimed. Her parents looked up in surprise, and her mother nearly fainted when she saw her daughter laying on a hospital bed with a look of slight pain on her face, but soon realized what was happening. 

"But... The baby wasn't supposed to be coming for another week!" She exclaimed in surprise, with concern written over her face. 

"Well... Surprise?" Adria looked apologetic for some reason, this was something that didn't go unnoticed to the others in the room, especially Adria's mother. 

"No no darling, it's okay!" She quickly assured Adria. The witch, now reassured and relaxed, went on to explain the entire situation and inform her mother to come to the hospital as soon as possible. Adaline looked ready to apparate right on the spot and come to comfort her only child. "We'll be there as soon as possible." Juliane put her hand through the mist, and they were gone. Bill came in with Molly and the rest of the family. Everyone was there except Arthur, who was going to come after he got his bandages changed out. The healer walked in soon after, holding a clipboard in his hand with a magical quill balanced on top. 

"Alrighty, I need everyone but the father to leave." He said, looking around at all of the people gathered in the hospital room. There was Adria, Charlie, Juliane, Bill, Molly, the triplets, the Potters, Ginny, Ron, Harry, Hermione, Harmony, Hope, Remus, and Tonks, not to mention Adria's parents and her grandfather who were coming to the hospital to see the baby. Juliane looked like she was going to protest, but one look from Adria, and she was out of the room as fast as lightning. Once everyone was out, Charlie turned to Adria. 

"Are you ready?" He asked. Adria stared at him for a few moments, contemplating the simple words. 

"Always." 

Bill and Juliane sat in the waiting room of the hospital for what seemed like hours. It probably was hours, but none of them wanted to get up and check. Juliane was the most nervous out of all of them as her leg jiggled nervously up and down and she pulled a single curl straight and then watched it bounce back into place. Bill had his arm around her shoulder, pulling her close and tracing shapes on her shoulder. They sat there, not saying anything, while the triplets and Hope quietly chatted next to them. They sat there until the healer came out of the room, looking around for the family before he spotted them and said four simple words that changed their entire lives. 

"You can come in now."
