Just a meaningless drabble with some added fluff. Enjoy!
She had been tense for days and at this moment, lying in bed next to her husband, Hermione just couldn't settle. She rolled onto her back sighing audibly, louder than she intended...
'Hermione, either stop fidgeting and go to sleep or tell me what is bothering you!' Rolling over he added 'Actually, scrap that. You're not sleeping until you tell me what's wrong.'
He was facing her now and in the moon light filtering through the curtains she could see him quite clearly.
'I'm sorry Severus, it's nothing really.' The telltale nibbling of her bottom lip did nothing to convince him.
'Don't give me that! You've been on edge for days and everytime I try to ascertain what's troubling you I get brushed off. Now I don't want to have to dose you with veritaserum!' From the slight purse of his lips she knew he was joking.
Breathing heavily she started, 'Well I...the thing is...it's just that...well a few days ago...'
His irritation growing he said sharply, 'Get on with it woman!'
'Alright then! I'm pregnant.'
'That's shut him up,' she thought
Severus started at her for what seemed like hours before he repeated, 'You're pregnant?'
'Yes,' she whispering, visibly wincing in preperation of his reaction. But when the silence stretched on she opened her mouth to explain herself and before she had a chance his lips were on hers, kissing her with so much passion she felt she couldn't breathe. When he pulled away his eyes were shining as he said, 'Why didn't you tell me this when you first found out?'
She was slightly distracted by his thumb pads stroking her cheekbones, but managed to say, 'I was worried how you would react.'
'How I would react,?' he asked furrowing his brow.
'Yes, I mean it's always come across to me that you rather disliked children.'
That made him chuckle. 'Darling spending most days around dunderheads surely you can understand why that comes across. But this is different. Any child of ours I will love unconditionally. As I love you unconditionally.'
She gave a beaming smile at this and leaning forward to kiss the tip of his nose. 'I love you too, very much.
Snuggling closer to him he wrapped his arms around her waist.
'Does this mean I can have as many children as I want?', she asked teasingly.
'Don't push it'.
Lovely and soppy I know. Just something I wrote to pass the time. Leave a review, you know you want to!
