Who: Ginny Lestrange and Rabastan Lestrange When: July 1, 2003; Backstory Where: St. Mungo's What: The arrival of Dominic Rabastan Lestrange Rating: Low Status: In Progress
Ginny had woken up just after midnight with a sharp and sudden pain in her lower abdomen. Her Healer had warned her that it was uncommon for a woman to give birth precisely on her due date, but apparently their child hadn't been told. Ginny shook Rabastan awake and quickly the two of them Flooed to Mungo's. They had been prepared for this. Ginny's bad had been packed for weeks, the security for their room was in place. But faced with the impending arrival of their children, Ginny felt herself quickly panicking.
Her husband was calming as ever. He whispered sweet words to her, stroked her hair as each contraction came rolling in. His words of encouragement and love helped Ginny through the nearly seventeen hours she spent pacing the halls of Mungo's. With two incredibly stubborn parents, it was no wonder their child was equally stubborn. Ginny was exhausted as night fell. Her contractions were coming closer and closer together and the couple were safety tucked away in a private room, two Aurors stationed outside and the best Healer and staff within.
Looking over at her husband, Ginny tried her best not to cry. She wanted nothing more than to sleep, if only for a few minutes. Her entire body ached. Ginny's forehead was covered in sweat, her hair messy and damp. "I can't," she whined to her husband quietly. "I'm so tired, baby."
