"Do you love me?" Hermione asked seriously. It had come from right out of left field and Ron looked up from his plate. It was breakfast time, right before they were both about to leave to go to the Ministry. Normally, they stepped through the floo hand in hand, ascended the lift hand in hand, and then she kissed him goodbye as he stepped out onto the Auror floor before she headed up to Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.
However, this morning, she posed him a question that shocked him, but one he could answer easily. She stood across from him at the island, the frying pan of eggs held carefully over her plate. She was wearing the most delightfully messy floral apron that she loved so much over her smart skirt suit. She looked at him with a look of anxiety but also of fear.
She had nothing to fear about his love for her. They had been married for two years now, been dating for three years previous. If he didn't love her, he wouldn't have pined for her for seven miserable years before finally plucking up the courage during the most adrenaline fuelled moment of their lives.
He reached across his own plate and grabbed her free hand. She meant the world to him and he would make her see that. She placed the frying pan on counter, its surface thankfully heat-resistant, before allowing him to lead her around the kitchen island and into his lap.
He took her lips in his, light and delicate as if he were handling the most fragile diamond in the world. If she minded the slight oily feeling of his lips, she said nothing as she kissed him back. He looked deeply into her eyes and said, "Never doubt the love I hold for you. Sometimes it's so much, I can't even handle it so I see no reason you shouldn't be able to see it. I've been blessed to have you in my life for the past twelve years and I hope to have many more with you. I want you to scold me in the mornings for leaving my underwear on the floor, and I want you to kiss me before falling asleep every night. I love you, Hermione, yesterday, today and tomorrow. Nothing will stop me unless you tell me."
She smiled at him before pulling him back in for a deeper kiss than the first. When they pulled apart, he grinned and said, "And it doesn't hurt that you're prettiest, sexiest, hottest witch I know."
She slapped his arm playfully before resting her head on his chest. She sighed contentedly before saying, "I just had to be sure, because I have some important news."
"What?" Ron asked.
She pulled back and looked him dead in the eye as she said, "I'm pregnant."
