When Harry got out of bed that morning, he smiled to himself as he looked over at the girl lying next to him. Her wavy brown hair was over her face and her breathing was short and relaxed. He looked at her belly, now five months along. He placed his hand over her tummy and thought he felt something move. After their first trip to the Healers, Harry had finally convinced Hermione to move in with him. They had been a happy family ever since.

Harry gave her a kiss on the forehead and went into Teddy's room to get him for breakfast. After they had both had a bath and changed clothes they went into the kitchen to see Kreacher and have breakfast.

Harry picked up the post from the table and was going through it, when Hermione walked in and kissed his cheek. Teddy was already at the table and eating some bacon and eggs that Kreacher had made. As Hermione got her a plate and started to eat, Harry looked up and smiled.

"It's Victoire's birthday tomorrow, and they are having a get together at the Burrow for it." Harry held up the card and smiled at them.

"Oh, that's nice." Hermione smiled nervously.

"I think it would be good for us to go Hermione, and I would like to show you off. You look so lovely with our little one inside you."

Teddy clapped his hands and smiled at them, "Yes!"

Hermione smiled at him then turned back to Harry. Hermione wouldn't deny Teddy anything if it would make him happy.

"Sounds like we will be going."

Harry called Henny down to him and wrote out a letter and sent the brown and tan barn owl out. He then sat down and began eating. A little after they had finished breakfast, Henny came back and gave the reply to Harry. He read the letter and then turned to Hermione.

"I wrote to Lavender and offered for her and Cassidy to come with us. After all, Cassidy is Ron's daughter and Victoire's cousin. It's only fair that she get to go."

Hermione walked over and sat on Harry's lap while she read the letter.

Lavender,

I hope that this letter finds you and Cassidy well. I was just wondering if you and her would like to join us tomorrow in going to the Burrow to celebrate Victoire's birthday. I think that it is only fair since Cassidy is her cousin. Please let me know.

Harry

Harry,

We would love to go, if you don't think that it would cause too much trouble. Cassidy misses her dad, and it would give me a chance to talk to his mom and let her know what is going on. We will be over around 10:00am and we can all go together. Thanks again Harry!

Lavender and Cassidy~

Hermione chewed on her lip thoughtfully and then walked over to Teddy and picked him up. She brushed his turquoise hair out of his face and kissed his cheek and then she let him go into the indoor playground and turned back to Harry.

All this time, Harry had been watching Hermione nervously. He hadn't asked her what she thought about his idea or how she would feel about it. He thought that it might help her gain closure with Lavender and Ron.

"I think that was a great idea, Harry!" She beamed at him.

"Do you really think so?" Harry stood up and took her in his arms.

"Yes! I think that Cassidy deserves a chance to get to know her family."

Harry kissed Hermione on the mouth and then kissed her tummy. She was starting to show and it made him happier every day.

The rest of that day was in a blur as they went shopping for a gift for Victoire. Hermione picked out a dress made of silk and also a tiara, goblin made, that sparkled in the sunlight. Hermione picked out some wrapping paper while Harry took Teddy to get some ice cream.

When they got home, Teddy was already asleep for the night, so Harry tucked him in. Hermione and Harry sat up, talking and having an evening drink. Hermione was sipping on pumpkin juice while Harry nursed on a butterbeer.

"Harry?"

"Hmm?" He looked up and over at her. The sight of her with her hand on her belly always made him smile.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, love. Anything."

"Why…me?"

Harry looked at her for a moment. He didn't understand what she meant. "What do you mean?"

She took a long breath, looking at the ground, then back at Harry.

"Why did you fall in love with me?"

They question hung in the air as a million reasons flooded to Harry's mind. He thought long and hard and then he decided to give her the honest answer.

"Because you were always the one girl who never gave up on me, and stood by me, even when I was the most foolish."

Hermione didn't seem very happy with this answer, even though it was the honest truth.

"Hermione, you are beautiful, smart. You enjoy having a good time and I am never bored with you. Reading your diary gave me an insight to your mind. I know that if I would have paid more attention in school and to you that things would have been different for me and you."

She smiled at him and took a long drink of the pumpkin juice. After a while she walked over and sat down in front of his legs, and laid her head in his lap.

"Yes, Harry. But if things would have been different, we wouldn't be able to truly cherish these moments right now."

Harry smiled. Hermione always found the silver lining. He loved her for it and he loved everything about their friendship and their love.

"Tanner."

"Hmmm," Hermione looked up at Harry.

"If it's a boy, I like Tanner."

Hermione nodded in thought. Then she smiled sat him.

"I still think it's a girl."

She leaned up and kissed him gently. He pulled her up and close to him as they cuddled in the chair. Harry couldn't remember ever having been happier.
