Cairo Nights- Chapter 11

Hey Guys. Sorry about the time it's taken to update this story. I've busy with other things and suffering a bit of writers block. Hope you enjoy this new chapter. This chapter will have time jumps as well.

Fast Forward 9 months.

Hermione woke up with Bill's arms wrapped around her as she had done for the last year. Their relationship had been close to perfect. Ron had been better towards both Hermione and Bill when they had come to visit the Burrow, but Hermione suspected it was more to do with the fact that Bill would rip him limb from limb if he said anything remotely offensive.

Bill turned to face Hermione as their noses touched. "Morning." Said Bill as he slowly opened his eyes.

Hermione moaned as she opened her eyes slowly and to see Bill mere inches from her. She smiled as he leant forward and captured her lips in a soft kiss.

Suddenly a wave of sickness came over her as she withdrew from Bill, with her hand over her over her mouth as she rushed out of bed into the bathroom and emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet.

Bill got up, pulled on his pajama pants with forgoing the shirt and walked into the bathroom to see her bent over the toilet. He crouched down and rubbed his hand over her head and back as he kissed her head.

"I know you're a Healer love and you took an oath to take care of other people, but you need to take care of yourself too." He said. "Promise me, you'll see a Healer today when you get to the hospital. You've been throwing up every morning for the past week, the bug must be worse than you thought."

"Yes, uh maybe." She said as she smiled softly.

"Alright, we'll I'll go make us both a cup of tea and I'll get started on breakfast, any special request?"

"Uh no. I'm alright; whatever you're having is fine." She said

Bill motioned to get up. "Are you sure you're alright? You seem a bit out of sorts" He said.

"Yes, ah sorry. Just busy at work and being sick hasn't been helping." She said as moved to get up.

"Oh here, let me help." He said as he helped her to an upright position as he smiled at her with a cheeky grin as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into him. "Maybe we should both take the day off today, stay in bed, you could get some rest"

Hermione smiled. "Bill Weasley! We both know that I would never get any rest if I'm in bed with you!" She exclaimed.

"You say that like it's a bad thing." He smirked as Hermione shot him a look. "Yeah your right, completely bad idea." He said.

"I didn't say that" Smirked Hermione as he leant up to kiss him.

Bill smirked as they broke the kiss and Hermione walked away, grabbing her coat as she did and headed for the Floo.

"Don't forget to speak to the Healer about that bug!" He said

Hermione smiled softly. "I won't. I love you." She said

"I love you too." He said as she shouted for the hospital and was gone in the blink of an eye.

Hermione's day went quickly as she saw the numerous witches and wizards that came into St Mungo's for various alignments. She looked at the clock as realized the day was coming to a close. She was almost positive she knew what was going on, but she knew she had to get it confirmed. She took the lift to her boss's office, the only person she could trust to keep this a secret, the last thing that she needed was her personal business to be spread throughout the hospital.

The lift reached the floor of her boss's office and Hermione hopped out of the lift walked down the corridor and took a deep breath and knocked on the door nervously.

"Enter" Came a voice.

"Healer Pye." Said Hermione

"Ah Healer Granger, what might I do for you." He said as he looked up quickly before focusing back on his paperwork.

"I've come to ask if you can run a test for me"

"A test what kind of test Hermione, surely any test you need to run you can do yourself?" He said as he continued to collect paperwork while avoiding eye contact with Hermione.

"Well, it's actually on me. I think I might be pregnant."

Healer Pye stopped what he was doing a looked up at a clearly nervous Hermione. "Alright Hermione, what symptoms have you been experiencing. " He asked.

"Uh, every morning I'm throwing up, I feel nauseous, sore and I'm late."

"Alright well, it is certainly possibly Hermione. I think its best just to go ahead and find out for sure."

Hermione nodded not saying a word as Healer Pye drew his wand from and cast it over Hermione's stomach as he said the words "Graviditate Revelare." As he did a white gust emanated from her stomach.

"I believe congratulations are in order Miss Granger."

Hermione nodded. "Yes, thank you" She said as she smiled softly.

"I thought you would be more excited Hermione."

"I am, it's just a lot to take in. Thank you. I can see you quite busy. Thank you again." She said as she hustled out the door.

As soon as she closed the door she took a shaky breath. "I'm pregnant." She whispered. Minutes later she found herself in her office, not exactly sure how she managed to get there she sat down at her desk and looked at a photo of Bill she kept on her desk. Bill. How would he react to the news? She took a deep breath, she knew she needed to try and compose herself before heading home. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and mustered all the Gryffindor courage she could. "I can do this, I can do this." She said as she headed out the floos in the lobby and headed home.

As she stepped out of the Floo she could smell food coming from the kitchen. "Bill?" She said as she set down her bag and took off her robe and headed into the kitchen.

"You're cooking?"

Bill turned to see Hermione standing in the doorway. "You're cooking?" She said surprised.

"Well I knew you weren't feeling well, so I thought I'd help out, hopefully this makes you feel better."

"Is that (Hermione paused) Shepherd's Pie?" She asked as Bill nodded as he served it up and headed over to the table.

"Well it smells delicious." She said as they tucked in the meal.

They finished up about 15 minutes later as the made small talk as they ate.

"That was absolutely delicious." Said Hermione.

Bill smiled. "I'm glad you liked it." He said as he lent down to kiss her.

Hermione watched as Bill walked over to the sink. "It's now or never" She thought to herself.

"Bill, I went and saw the healer today." She said nervously.

"Oh, yes, sorry I forgot to ask how you went." He said as he washed up.

Hermione stayed silent, not saying anything.

Bill turned to see her standing there like a bag of nerves. He put down the cloth and rushed over to her and guided her to a nearby chair.

"Hermione, love, your starting to worry me, what did the Healer say?"

Hermione took a breath. "I'm pregnant" She whispered.

Bill wasn't sure if he had heard her right. "You're pregnant?" He repeated

Hermione nodded, scared to know his reaction.

A big smile came across his face. "You're pregnant!" He said as he laughed and pulled her into him.

Hermione felt a wave of relief come over her that Bill hadn't taken the news well. "You're happy?" She said.

"Of course I'm happy Hermione! I'm having a baby with the woman I love!"He said as he beamed at her, but there was something about Hermione stirred worry in him.

"Are you alright knowing your pregnant?"

"I don't know." She said honestly as Bill stared at her.
