January 31st 1979

"Gideon, are you alright? Love can you hear me?" Dorcas was growing impatient. Gideon had fainted fifteen minutes ago and he wouldn't wake up. She began pacing back and forth trying to think of a way to wake him up. Then it hit her like a ton of bricks, how could she have forgotten this little detail.

"I'm a witch aren't I, sometimes I think that bloody hat was just messing with me when it said I would do well in Ravenclaw!" Sighing, Dorcas drew her wand and pointed it towards her husband. "Enervate." After a few seconds Gideon began to stir.

"Dorcas, you won't believe the dream I just had! I dreamt you told me you were pregnant and we were having a girl. Crazy huh!"

"Well actually Gideon, that wasn't a dream. I really am pregnant, it's a girl and obviously you're the father." They sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity. Gideon had a far away look in his eyes. The different emotions that would play across his face confused Dorcas greatly. She'd see fear, confusion, happiness and amusement dance across his features. At last the silence was broken when Gideon decided to pick himself off the floor. With a little difficulty he began to speak with his wife.

"We, we're ha-having a baby?" Dorcas nodded. "We're having a baby!" The excitement he was feeling was pouring out of him in waves. "And it's a girl! Have you thought of names? How far along are you? When did you find out and why didn't you tell me sooner! I'm going to be a father! Bloody hell! Me, Gideon Prewett a father to be! This is great, I can't believe this is really happening. Wait you're not just joking around with me are you?"

"Of course not! What kind of witch do you take me for; I wouldn't lie to you about something this important Gideon and to answer you're earlier question I just found out today. Now the problem is how are we going to tell the others? How are we going to explain to them how this happened?"

Gideon couldn't help the smirk that appeared on his face when his lovely wife asked him this question. "Well love, I don't think they're going to need an explaination about how this happened. I think everyone knows where babies come from. Well except maybe Fabian, you know how he is."

"Gideon you know very well what I meant, they don't even know we got married! Although, I do have my suspicions that Dumbledore knows something. Those eyes of his are everywhere."

"Well there's no better time to tell our friends than the present. Let's go get this show on the road eh? Everyone is downstairs."

Agreeing with her husband, Dorcas and Gideon walked hand in hand towards the library where the rest of the order members were currently gathered. Once they reached the doors, the secret couple let go of each other's hand. When they walked in they noticed no one was really discussing anything. Fabian and James were currently having a go at some wizards chest while Lily and Marlene watched them in amusement. Everyone else was either reading the daily prophet or just thinking to themselves. Well it's now or never. Dorcas walked into the middle of the room with Gideon following right behind her. Sirius was the first to notice their arrival.

"Oi! where have you two been? You guys missed dinner." Upon hearing Sirius, the rest of their friends and fellow order members lifted their heads to see the new arrivals. Dorcas was the one to answer, seeing as Gideon choose that moment to become quite.

"Well, Gideon and I have a bit of news to share with you all." She glanced at her husband searching for strength and when she saw him nod slightly she continued, "It may come as a bit of a shock to you guys, but we do hope you understand. Gideon and I are going to have a baby." Numerous whats along with many congratulations and one I'm going to be an uncle, echoed throughout the room.

Lily was the first to move from her seat. She walked up to Dorcas and encased her in a big hug and muttered another "congrats". Others followed Lily's example and soon Dorcas and Gideon were being congratulated and hugged by various friends.

"There's more actually. Gideon and I are actually married; have been for the past 7 months actually. Before you guys start yelling at us, let me explain a bit. You guys remember the mission we were sent on a little more than a year ago?" Seeing everyone nod, she continued," Well that was when we began to start falling for one another. Things escalated and because of the war we didn't want to wait to get married when there was a chance one of us wouldn't make it through this bloody war. So, the day after we returned from our mission we snuck off and got married."

After a bit more explaining and a few tears from Lily and Marelene, who were extremely upset that Dorcas didn't tell them anything for so long, everything was once again relatively quite. The news of the marriage and pregnancy lifted the spirits of those currently inside the library.

Somewhat near the back of the group, Albus Dumbledore sat in his regular spot looking over his former students, now friends. He, of course, was happy hearing the news of Dorcas and Gideon's marriage. News like those are what life is all about. One shouldn't have to worry about impending wars during there lives and unfortunately for them all, that war was approaching. Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. For tonight, let them forget about the darkness and let them bask in the light for tomorrow a new day is upon us. And after that thought, Dumbledore excused himself and returned to Hogwarts with the urge to have a lemon drop or two.
