Hello everyone, this is a small collection for the Mother's Day Event on the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry (Challenges & Assignments) Forum. Thank you to MissingMommy for betaing this. I do not own anything in regards to Harry Potter; the rights belong to J.K. Rowling. I will be posting teasers and answering questions on my Tumblr account (sunset-whispers). All I have left to say is sit back, relax and enjoy reading.

Prompt 13: A woman learns she's pregnant.

Word Count: 341


June 10th, 2005

Astoria was glad it was her day off from work; she felt terrible, throwing up everything that had lined her stomach into the toilet for the better part of the morning. She hadn't called Draco as she didn't want him to see her like this. Besides, it was nothing some ginger ale and perhaps a Pepper Up Potion wouldn't fix. It was at that moment that it dawned on her why she might be unwell.

I'm pregnant, she thought, wondering how she'd been so stupid to not realise why she was two weeks late. She'd put it down to the stress that came with her job as a Healer at St Mungo's at first, but now being pregnant made a whole lot more sense.

It was my birthday and we got carried away when we came home. A blush crept up her cheeks at the memory of them stepping through the front door one minute and pulling each other's clothes off the next.

Standing up from her kneeling position by the toilet, she cast a status spell over her stomach to see if she was in fact pregnant. When a golden light hovered over her stomach before vanishing, she had her answer. Happy tears fell down her cheeks.

I'm pregnant. I'm going to be a mum.

Once she had freshened up, she Floo'd straight to Draco's office at the Ministry.


Draco's grey eyes flashed with concern the moment he looked up from the piece of parchment he'd been writing on to see his wife smiling and crying.

Going around the desk, he took her in his arms. Cupping her face in his hands, he asked, "Astoria, what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, Draco. Everything is right for once, finally."

"What do you mean?" he asked, his brows furrowing.

"I'm pregnant, Draco. We're going to have a baby."

The smile that graced his face made Astoria's heart swell with happiness. He picked her up in his arms, twirling her as they both laughed happily.

"I love you so much."

"I love you, too."
