Notes: Haven’t written in a while so I have to apologize for that. Real life is real sketchy sometimes. Anyways, sorta kinda sequel to A Parting Gift...basically Harry died in the final battle and left a pregnant Hermione behind...just so you know.

How long could she drift like this, untouched by reality, rootless? Ron sighed as he slumped down beside Hermione’s bed, taking her cold hand in his as he had done for countless hours since the baby was born. The doctors said they didn’t know what was wrong with...

"Hermione, please." Ron breathed, "Your son needs you." And so do I.

An agonized touch woke Hermione out of her drifting non-existance; someone’s pain intruding on her own. Making the hardest choice of her life, Hermione opened her eyes, ignoring the agony in her heart, "Both of you?"

"............Yes." The barest whisper...
