"Hay, Harry, pass me the bacon before Hermione gets it would you."
"Shut up, Ron" Hermione said through a mouthful biscuit.
"Yeah, you don't need to eat for two" Harry laughed handing Hermione the bacon who patted her tummy at his words, while Ron stuck his tongue out at her. After handing Ron the bacon (or what was left of it) she reached for the sugar for her oatmeal.
"Some for me", she said adding a spoonful to it "and some for baby" then she added two more spoonfuls.
"What was the third spoonful for?" Ron said watching her curiously.
"Me" she giggled. "Well I suppose I could share it with baby"
"Yeah, you better get used to sharing a lot with baby" Harry grinned.
This was true, Hermione still wasn't sure how to get used to sharing all her belongings, friends, time, and her life with a child. But then again she was still figuring out how to share the baby itself because by law she had to let it's father be in it's life too if he wanted, and both to her surprise and displeasure she had found the truth. He did.
She still remembered showing up the first day and getting off the train. Somehow before it even stopped everone had figured out she was pregnant and she knew it would be getting her hopes up if she had thought the Slytherins wouldn't laugh at her.
About two a month before school had let out all the sixth years had thought a party would be good. "Yeah, a party what a great idea." Well, that great idea had somehow ended up having "light drinks" at it and Hermione had to admit they tasted better than she thought the would.... apparently a lot better than she thought they would. Of course Harry and Ron ended up doing some pretty stupid stuff so Hermione left them, but she supposed she wasn't much better than them, because she started...err, gaining weight during the summer and having headaches she couldn't explain.
So now she had to get off the train with a baby in her stomach and put up with school taunting. Hermione remembered that the first person to say anything to her was Pansy Parkinson who had made her way to Hermione to insult her personally.
"I guess Weasley and Potter couldn't satisfy you enough, so you being the slut you are went off to find a quick fuck. It must be true that they're that bad." Pansy snickered.
At this remark Ron and Harry clenched their firsts, but Hormone just smiled at Pansy "Yes I was quite desperate to sink to his level, but it doesn't really say much about you either Pansy cause your boyfriend's the father."
But now, with Hermione about two months away from due date generally everyone had gotten over the shock and Hermione was practically left alone about the matter (mostly because none of the Slytherins could talk bad about it without insulting Draco) accept for Pansy who would shoot her nasty looks every time she had the chance. Not that Pansy had lost a boyfriend though. To some people's surprise, excluding Hermione's of course, Draco had stayed with Pansy and could often be seen snogging her in empty classrooms, the common rooms, and the great hall and generally anywhere else they had access to. Normally this didn't bother Hermione as much as people thought it would but sometimes she would sit and stare off at space wondering why it had to be him. And it wasn't really like she felt jelous most times because she couldn't really remember the night he had her. Though there were sometimes she wished he were there for her because horrible though he was, though he could be mean, and selfish, and conceded, and careless, and irresponsible, and unloyal, he was also the father and she felt like sometimes he was just walking around care free while she carried his burden. Another thing that frightened her was, though he would come run his hand over Hermione's stomach affectionately or sit next to her and talk to it, he also referred to the baby as he and him, often referring to the baby as his son and Hermione would worry what would happen if the baby were a girl and what Draco would do about it. Would he pretend it wasn't his? Abandon them?
However she was handling things well, and Hannah Abbott helped a lot. She too was having a baby due about the same time as Hermione's because of the party, though her situation was better and the father was Ernie Macmillan. Hermione would often get jealous watching them get all mushy together and how Ernie would always talk about how much he loved Hannah and "their little man" because she had already had their baby's Gender looked into and they knew they were getting a baby boy. The reason Hermione hadn't had it done was because she was scared what she would find. She hated watching Ernie and Hannah sit together all the time and talk about their future together and their plans for their son and possible names. She had yet to talk to Draco about any of that and she still wasn't sure she wanted to. But weather she wanted to or not she soon found she would have no choice when Professor Magonagal stopped her after transfiguration class.
