Welcome to Nine Months :)

IF YOU HAVEN'T READ 'HOW TO SEDUCE WIZARDS' I RECOMMEND YOU READ THAT FIRST AS THIS IS A SPINOFF STORY AND SOME ELEMENTS OF THIS STORY YOU WILL BE CONFUSED BY IF YOU DO NOT!

This story will skip weeks ahead as each chapter talks about a particular moment, day, or even week of pregnancy for Ron and Hermione and all that it entails. Afterwards, the months will turn back into being called chapters and will flow along with the rest of the story. I'm hoping this won't be too long, but for the ones that follow me y'all know how I lie about the length of a story sometimes lol.

Some chapters may be shorter than others as there may not be much to discuss but I do wanna reach at least 1,000 words a chapter.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy reading it as I will enjoy writing it.

On with the fic! :D

Month 1: Healer Games

Hermione Granger sat nervously beside Ron Weasley as they waited for their names to be called to go back to the healer's room. Ron subconsciously bounced his leg up and down, as he fidgeted with his fingers and looked around the waiting area. All white walls with a few moving pictures of babies with happy parents and diagrams of different body parts. Did they really have to have a diagram of the stomach right where people could see it even if they didn't want to? It was like they were begging for people to be sick.

Hermione gently put her hand on Ron's leg trying to make it stop. "And I thought I was the nervous one." she whispered in his ear.

Ron gave her the lopsided grin that always made Hermione go weak in the knees. "Nervous? Who said anything about being nervous?"

"Your leg gave it away love. Your hands as well." said Hermione grabbing Ron's hand and lacing her fingers through his.

Ron brought Hermione's hand to his lips, kissing her knuckles softly. "Sorry, I just can't help it. This is your first healer appointment. The first of thousands."

"Probably about 10 to 15 actually, depending..."

"And there is so much to find out and learn and see."

"If this is anything like appointments in the muggle world we are probably going to be asked questions and then maybe be shown a blob of our baby. There isn't much to see."

"How do you know?"

"I read Ronald..."

"Oh. Well don't mind me then of course." said Ron sitting back in his seat.

Hermione gave Ron a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, everything should be fine. It won't even be a long visit. At least, it shouldn't be."

"You're wasting your time telling him to stop worrying Hermione dear." said Molly Weasley as she and Helen Granger walked over to the teens and sat down on either side of them, handing them each a cup of water. "When men don't know how things work they start to panic. I would know. I went through it all seven times."

"She's right honey." said Helen putting her hand on Hermione's leg. "Your father was very annoying during my pregnancy with you. Especially the first visit. I'm surprised the doctor got a word in edgewise."

"I'm not going to be annoying. I'm only concerned." said Ron defensively as he downed the cup in one gulp. "I don't know a thing about babies. Gin and I were the youngest you know. I've never even held a baby...on bloody hell I've never even SEEN a baby before..."

Hermione looked at Ron and laughed. "Oh surely you're exaggerating. Everyone has seen a baby at least once in their lives."

"Actually Hermione dear outside of pictures, Ron and Ginny have never seen a baby." said Molly. "They are the youngest you know. They never really ventured away from The Burrow and every time we ever went to Diagon Alley or Kings Cross there weren't any babies about. And his brothers haven't started families yet so no, no babies."

Hermione was amazed. "That's incredible! Oh Ron!"

"I'm gonna be terrible at this." said Ron putting his head down. "I don't know how to hold it or feed it or change its nappy things or anything like that."

"Don't worry love, we will learn all of that." said Hermione taking Ron's hand. "That's what our mums are for, to teach us. And also the healers. No one will let us go into this blind."

Ron lifted his head and have Hermione a small smile. He really wasn't reassured by her words, but he would let her think it for the time being.

"Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley?" said a voice from a little ways down the hall.

The group stood up and looked over at a young witch with pink medical robes on. She looked very nice and very pretty with caramel color skin a few shades lighter than Hermione's and long jet black hair that she kept in a messy but stylish ponytail. Her almond shaped brown eyes were welcoming, also somewhat familiar. Her smile must have been magic because once Hermione saw it, her nerves seemed to had instantly stop.

"Good morning!" she said cheerfully. "I'm Healer Johnson and I'm going to be your OB GYN through your whole pregnancy."

"Aurielle, it's so good to see you! You look darling!" said Molly as she gave the healer a tight hug which she returned.

"Oh it's so good to see you too! I see that Ron must not remember me?" she said looking over at Ron.

Ron's ears blushed red. "Of course I do. How could I forget?" he said in a low shy voice.

Hermione and her mum looked confused.

"Oh I'm sorry. The Weasley's and I have a past. Our whole family does actually." the healer said as she directed the four to a room. "I'm Aurielle Johnson. You may know my sister, Angelina. She was in 3rd year when you lot started. And I had just left. I used to babysit for the Weasley's. Both sets of twins actually."

"Oh my." said Hermione. "I didn't know Angelina had an older sister. Now that you've said something, you resemble her a lot. I bet you had your hands full."

Aurielle laughed. "Sometimes. Fred and George were 7, and Ron and Ginny were 5. Fred, George and Angie were already all friends so they would go off and play together so in a way I really watched Ron and Ginny full time in the summer. Ginny was nice but reminded me a lot of the older twins. Ronnie was my sweetheart." she said pinching Ron's cheek causing Ron's ears to blush even more.

"Ron fancied Aurielle." said Molly.

"I did not!" said Ron quickly. "I was just a boy. I didn't know!"

Everyone laughed as Ron blushed redder and redder. "I think it's adorable Ron." said Hermione kissing him on the cheek.

"It was Hermione. He used to get in trouble for picking his mum's flowers and giving them to me. And he used to make me the cutest pictures and odd things. That's why when I saw your names on the chart I knew I had to have you guys. Ron's going to make a great father." she said winking at Hermione.

"Okay okay can we just get on?" said Ron starting to become painfully embarrassed.

"Of course." giggled Aurielle. "Now, according to the dates you gave us Hermione, you should be coming up on two months in a couple days. That means that you will be having your baby around the middle of November. Since this is your first visit, you won't be able to see anything. There really isn't much to see as it's just an embryo right now. Your baby won't be a fetus until your twelfth week which is three months, marking the end of your first trimester."

Hermione, being the witch that she was, took notes in her notebook of everything Aurielle was saying. Ron on the other hand simply looked confused.

"From what I've heard, the first trimester is the hardest. Morning sickness is a very common thing. And just because it's called morning sickness doesn't mean it only occurs in the morning. Smells can trigger it as well. You will also sometimes have small pains but that is your body adjusting to the pregnancy."

"Actually, my sister has been feeling everything." said Ron. "We had thought that she was the pregnant one."

Aurielle laughed. "Oh yes. To be a twin. Poor dear has to feel Hermione's burdens because of you Ron. Well then you have a double duty because Ginny may go through this Hermione's entire pregnancy. You better hope that Ginny doesn't feel her labor pains when it comes time to give birth."

"Is there a way to relieve her of it?" asked Hermione. "I hate that she has to go through this."

Aurielle shook her head. "That's for the old magic and her body to decide. At least she won't have to deal with the emotional aspect. Have fun with that, you will."

Both Hermione and Ron groaned. Each knew exactly how emotional Hermione could get and now with added pregnancy hormones, Hermione knew she would only be worse and Rob knew that he would probably be blamed for anything and everything.

But he was ready for it. Or so he was going to make himself be ready for it.

"When you are twelve weeks along, I'll call you back and we will get a look at your baby. We will be able to actually tell it is a baby and we will be able to run proper tests on it to see if there will be any issues. Although if I know Weasley children, your baby should be as healthy as a hippogriff."

"Only not with talons and feathers." said Ron. Hermione rolled her eyes at him as Helen questioned what a hippogriff was.

"Now, do you have any questions for me?" asked Aurielle.

"When can we find out what the baby is?" asked Ron.

"In the muggle world, the sex is determined between 18 and 20 weeks. That's when the genitals have been formed and are visible. We follow that same time frame so it will be a while until you find out. Have fun guessing." said Aurielle.

When the appointment was over the group flooed over to the Burrow ( Aurielle had mentioned that it wouldn't be wise for Hermione to apparate while pregnant nor during the first year of the baby's life) and had a nice lunch before Helen left off to go back to work. She had came during her lunch hour, not wanting to miss her daughter's first doctor's appointment.

Ginny had came down the stairs looking absolutely dreadful. Hermione looked at her best friend with pity and sadness.

"Oh Ginny, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this as if you're the one that's pregnant." said Hermione as Ginny sat down beside her and rested her head on her shoulder.

"I would like to say it's okay, but after throwing up absolutely nothing but nasty bile, I can't say anything but 'bleh'. " said Ginny as she sipped on the tea her mother promptly put in front of her.

"This will help a lot love. Pair it with some toast and you should feel better soon." said Molly rubbing her daughter's back in small circles.

Ginny nibbled on her toast while sipping on her tea. By the time she was done, she did indeed feel much better. Only thing was, she was extremely tired and was dozing off everywhere. Finally Ron ended up carrying an exhausted Ginny to her room.

He joined Hermione in his room, sitting on his bed with her in between his legs.

"I feel terrible Ron." said Hermione. "I'm supposed to be the one geeking all of that and supposed to be sleeping too help the baby to grow and I'm already messing that up."

"I know love. Maybe that will change in the weeks ahead. On the bright side, Ginny enjoys sleep. So she won't be angry at that aspect." said Ron trying to cheer Hermione up.

Hermione chuckled at the last part. It was true that Ginny cherished sleep more than she cherished food and water so she would indeed be happy about the extra naps. But at the same time what about school?

"Oh no!" gasped Hermione.

"What is it?! What's wrong?!" asked Ron in a slight panic.

"School Ron. What about school?"

Ron sighed. "Bloody hell Mione, you had me thinking something was wrong with you."

"Ron, I'm not that big of a girl. I could show in a few weeks. And if not in a few weeks, at least by the end of May. What am I going to do? What are we going to say?" Hermione said starting to become worried and teary eyed.

Ron shook his head and grinned. Of all things for his girlfriend to panic over, it was actually showing. "It'll be okay. What's the matter? Are you afraid someone will talk shit? Because I won't let that happen."

"You can't stop people from saying what they want to say Ronald. Especially students at school. They're gonna call me a tart. A scarlet woman!"

"No they won't Hermione. Everyone knows you're with me so no one would ever think that. You're a smart and brilliant girl that something happened to, that's all. It was partly my fault anyways."

"But...I'll...I'll be fat.."

Ron laughed loudly at this. "You won't be fat love, you'll be pregnant and you'll be beautiful. You already are beautiful. So stop trying to find a negative in this and think of the positives."

"What are those?" she asked.

"Well one is that you'll be able to finish school." said Ron. "Remember hearing about that one Ravenclaw that was a few years ahead of us and she got pregnant but had to drop out of school? June is coming up and you will be graduating top of everything, you'll see."

That fact did indeed make Hermione feel a whole lot better. She used to hear stories from the few muggle friends about not being able to finish school because of a baby.

"Anything else?" she asked as Ron laid down, bringing her down with him.

"You're more than likely are carrying a strapping baby boy."

Hermione rolled her eyes and snuggled up close to Ron. "I hate to be the one to tell you, but you're having a girl."

"Nope. We've already talked and baby told me that he is a he."

Hermione kissed Ron on the lips. "We shall soon see Won-Won."

Ron groaned. "I'm definitely gonna have to warn our son about bints like her."
