I don't own HP.


Hermione stood faced the full-length mirror in her bedroom. She wasn't one to admire her reflection, but now, she stared at her reflection, before her hand slowly moved down to her trim abdomen.

"Hey, 'Mione, you ready to go?" called Ron from the living room.

"Almost. Hold on a moment!" She replied slightly uneasy.

She caressed it up and down, repetitively; lovingly. She was wearing a silky red dress, and quite enjoyed the feeling of her silk across the pads of her fingers, and her palm. She sighed, and kept telling herself that Ron would love her surprise.

It's okay, Hermione. Ron would be happy. You know it. You've both discussed this before, haven't you? If not now, then when?

And this thought had haunted her when she discovered the news- if not now, then when? She felt that she and Ron, were more than ready for this, and she looked forward to the prospect of starting something like this with Ron.

She wanted to have a family with him. And she was halfway there.

Sighing once again, she closed her eyes as she fastened a string of pearls around her neck. It was here favourite piece of jewellery, one that Ron got her on their first anniversary, when they were still dating. She got lost in her memories, her eyes still closed and a small smile on her face, when she felt a pair of arms wind around her waist and a warm kiss on her cheek.

"Hey, 'Mione, you're taking too long. Mum'll be waiting." Ron reminded her gently. She spun around in his arms and pressed her palms against his chest, pushing him away lightly. He looked at her in confusion as she led him down to the bed and sat next to him.

"Ron, there's something I need to tell you."

He nodded at her to go on. "I'm-I'm," she bit her lip and looked at her hands folded in her lap. To say she was nervous was an understatement.

Do I want a family? Yes, I do. Do I want a family with Ron? Yes, I do. Is it that hard to tell Ron? No, its not! Come on, Hermione, you can do it!

"Ron, I'm pregnant!" She blurted out.

His face showed absolute disbelief, followed by pride and happiness.

"Really?" She nodded. He beamed and spun her around, laughing all the while. He put her down gently, and kissed her, before mumbling an 'I love you'.

"Guess, we'll have great news to tell mom! We'll have her first grankid!"

Husband and wife walked out of their home hand-in-hand, and Ron flashed Hermione a smile so adorable, she couldn't resist reaching up and pecking him on the lips.

Beaming all the way as they drove to the Burrow, Ron and Hermione revelled in the thought of finally having a family.


Initially I wanted to write this for Royai over on the animanga side of the site, but decided that I haven't written for these two dorks yet and this would also satiate my craving of a family fic!
