A/N so this is the last chapter! Thanks to everyone that read/reviewed/favourite etc, you're why I carried on writing it. Sorry it's taken so bloody long to get it done!
Ron woke up the next morning to a slight pain in his stomach, he opened his eyes thinking Harry had elbowed him by accident but Harry was sleeping silently next to him. Ron laid staring at the ceiling wondering what it was when there was another pain a few minutes later. He sat up holding his stomach feeling worried but he didn't want to wake Harry. There was another pain but this time it lasted longer, when it stopped Ron un-scrunched his eyes to see Harry staring at him with a worried expression.
"Ron…?" Harry said with wide eyes and Ron nodded clutching his stomach and Harry jumped out of bed. "I'll get your mum!" He said rushing out of bed and pulling the bedroom door open. Ron heard the chattering of his mother and father and they all came rushing into his room in their nightgowns.
"Ron, dear!" His mother screeched as Ron was holding his stomach waiting for another pain to pass. "We'll have to get you to St. Mungo's!" She said and helped him out of bed and wrapping a coat around him. Ron looked worriedly at Harry and Harry looked the same, but took his hand reassuringly. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley walked Ron out of the house and sat him in their enchanted car carefully, they had decided driving normal roads would take too long so they took the flying one instead. Harry sat in the back holding Ron's hand letting him squeeze it when he had pains and kissing his forehead softly. The car took off and his father went as fast as he could without throwing Ron around in the back.
"Harry… I'm scared." Ron said in almost a whisper and Harry kissed his hand.
"So am I." He said with a smile, "It'll be ok" he said and kissed Ron's forehead softly.
They arrived at the hospital in record time and Mr. Weasley landed the car softly then helped his wife get Ron out of the car. When they entered the hospital the nurses all seemed to know who Ron was and what to do. A tall nurse with dark hair tied tightly into a bun waved her wand and a wheelchair appeared for Ron to sit on and she wheeled him into his room with his parents and Harry hurriedly following her.
"Are you the parents?" The nurses said politely to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and they both nodded frantically. "And the other half?" She said smiling to Harry who nodded too. The nurse smiled and pointed her wand at Ron and nodded. "We need to wait until the contractions get more intense and closer together, then we can deliver the baby. It will be a caesarean I gather you already know this by now." There were nods around the group and Ron looked worriedly to Harry. "I will be checking on you every few minutes, you can call me by this button though," The nurse said pointing to a button by the bed and Ron nodded and she left the room.
"How are you feeling, dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked eagerly and Ron rolled his eyes.
"Amazing…" He said sarcastically and his mother nodded and patted his hand that was holding his stomach. Then Ron felt another pain and he gripped for Harry's hand that was kneeling by the side of the bed and held it for a few minutes. "They're getting worse…" Ron said a little breathlessly after the pain had stopped.
"It'll all soon be over…" Harry said holding onto Ron tightly.
After half hour or so Ron's contractions had gotten more regular and intense and Ron was almost in tears from pain when the nurse entered the room. She pointed her wand at Ron and stared at him for a moment and then nodded.
"You're ready." She said firmly and Ron's bed turned into a wheelchair so she could wheel him into the operating room.
"Harry…" Ron said weakly as he got wheeled away from where Harry was knelt. Harry looked after him weakly and mouthed 'I'll see you soon' to him as he left with a nod. Mrs. Weasley began to panic and Mr. Weasley had to see to her and calm her down. Harry sat in a chair blocking out Mr. and Mrs. Weasley's bustling and he waited intently for Ron to return.

After what seemed days, Harry's daze was interrupted by the door opening and the nurse wheeling in an asleep Ron and putting him in bed.
"He's still a bit sleepy from the anaesthetic, he should be awake soon." The nurse smiled and everyone stared at her. "The operation was a success, you have a grandson." She smiled to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, "You can see him soon." The nurse said as she left Mrs. Weasley weeping into her husband's chest. Harry quickly kneeled by Ron's side again and stroked his hand softly waiting for him to wake up.
After about half hour Harry noticed Ron begin to stir and he sat up from his slouched position next his bed and held his hand tighter. He felt Ron's grip on his hand and then Ron opened his eyes and smiled weakly at Harry.
"We have a son…" Ron croaked to Harry whose eyes filled up with tears and he kissed Ron's hand. Mrs. Weasley came rushing towards him and hugged him softly seeing that Ron was still in pain. As if the nurse knew when Ron would wake up she came in the door with a bundle of blankets in her arms. Harry's heart leapt into his throat and he stood up to get a better look, the nurse handed the bundle to Ron who smiled thanks and she gave Ron a bottle of milk. Ron pulled the blankets apart to reveal a tiny little face of a baby boy, he had big bright green eyes with wispy hair that seemed to glow red. Everyone was silent for what seemed hours just enjoying watching the newborn look around at his family, his eyes scanning the room and then focusing onto Harry. Ron passed the baby to Harry who took him even though his heart was pounding. Harry's eyes welled up again looking down to his son who made a gurgling sound and smiled up to him. Ron's parents left them alone partly because Mrs. Weasley's wails were scaring the baby.
"I love you, Ron," Harry said sitting on the bed next to Ron still holding their son.
"I love you too," Ron smiled back and rested his head on Harry's shoulder. "It was worth it in the end… for you, Toby." Ron smiled and stroked his fingers down his son's nose and it made him squirm and make another gurgle sound.
The day was made up of quick visits from the nurse and breaks from the baby for Ron to rest, sometimes Harry would look after Toby when Ron was asleep instead of the nurse. The next morning the nurse confirmed that Ron could go home but continue to rest.
They arrived home at last and Mrs. Weasley got Ron comfortable in his bed and propped him up ready to feed Tobey.
"Someone's here to see you…" Mr. Weasley said and Hermione came rushing into Ron's bedroom beaming. She made a girly squeak when she saw Ron feeding his son and she kneeled next to his bed staring at him.
"Hi Hermione," Ron smiled and she just smiled at him.
"I don't believe it!" She squeaked apparently still unable to put a sentence together.
"This is Toby," Ron said presenting Toby for her to hold and she looked petrified but stood up and took Toby in her arms softly. Toby stared up at her with bright eyes and she beamed down at him and he waved his arms around happily and giggled.
"He's beautiful!" Hermione chirped, "The green eyes and red hair…"
"He's got Ron's looks," Harry laughed and Ron blushed.
"He does resemble Ron more…" Hermione smiled examining the baby closely. Harry sat next to Ron and held his hand kissing it more then usual, everyone was smiling nonstop and just with a look at Toby they would even more.
Hermione visited every other day for a few hours, she missed seeing Harry and Ron at school and they would just sit and chat about things, (and obviously about the baby.) Ron had family visit him but he usually said he was too tired so they would leave him with Harry, he's love for him seemed to had doubled since the birth of their son even if he thought it couldn't to begin with. Harry found Ron more amazing in every way then he ever thought he could and just felt so happy being in the same room as him and their son. Yes, their son.
