Chapter 13=Will You Be My…?
Hermione watched from her bed as Severus walked back into the hospital wing but nit with a woman but a little boy. She gasped when she looked at him and saw so much of Severus in him. Severus looked at her and nodded. She knew then that this little boy was his. She knew that he hadn't known about him or he would have told her but she still felt that he had betrayed her. Which was silly as he looked about 3 or 4 years old and she hadn't even been going out with him then. Taking a deep breath she told herself that she just had to wait for him to tell her what was going on. It shocked her when she heard Pomfrey saying that she couldn't fix his arm as she didn't know if he would take to the potion very well. So she would have to do it the muggle way, a cast.
While that was being done Severus walked over to her and sat down on the chair. "I know that this is going to be hard but please don't leave me." She had never heard him say anything like this before and wondered why he was saying it now.
"Why would I leave you? You had him before you got with me and from the look on your face when you walked in you didn't even know you had a son." He looked up at her with a smile in his eyes before taking her into his arms and hugging her.
"Daddy?" Turning they saw Alex standing there with a green cast on his arm. Severus smirked when he saw this but Hermione hit his arm with a playful glare. He picked him up and sat him on the bed near Hermione.
"Alex I'd like you to meet Hermione. She's very special to me just like you." Alex smiled and held out his hand for her. Hermione smiled back and shook his hand.
"It's nice to meet you Alex." Her voice sounded stronger then she felt. Severus didn't look any better then her but she knew that he wouldn't say anything until little ears couldn't hear.
Hermione was finally aloud to leave the hospital wing but had to have someone with her all the time. It wasn't that big a deal at night as Severus had made her stay with him. Alex seemed to be opening up more and even let her pick him up now and again. She wanted to know why he was like that with nearly every woman but didn't dear ask. It had been a long week and she couldn't wait for Saturday as they were going to take Alex out for the day and show him around. It would also be to get both Alex and her some new clothes. Alex because he didn't have much in the little bag of his and her because her bump was showing more and more each day.
Severus watched as she played with Alex on the floor of their room. She had turned some paper into some cars and Alex had loved it. Every now and again he saw the cars move on their own or a car horn but other then that everything seemed ok. He was mad at Jillian for how she had hurt his son. When Alex had been asleep he had had a quick look in his mind and saw how she had thrown him around. It pained him to know that she had done that but he made a promise that if he ever saw her again he'd make her pay. Hermione was great with him and didn't look hurt when he looked scared of her now and again. She seemed to understand it and just smiled. He knew that it must hurt her now and again but she didn't say or ask anything, well not yet. He knew that she would soon.
Alex was happy that he would be getting a brother or sister and even said he'd help.
"Mione?" looking up they both looked at Alex when he said her name. He was looking down at his lap but they could see the tears running down his face. Hermione looked scared that she had done something wrong. "Is…is it alright if I call you mummy?" Hermione gasped and with tears running down her own face and a big smile on her face she moved and took him into her arms while she kept saying yes over and over again. Alex was still crying but now had a smile on his face and hugged her back. Severus smiled at them before going to them and bringing them both into his arms so they could have a family hug.
Rose sat with Lucius in a café in Diagon Alley waiting for Hermione and Severus to come and meet them. They had gotten a letter saying they had something to tell them. She smiled thinking that they were going to tell them that they would be getting married. Lucius looked calm as he normally did but she knew that underneath that he was in a hell of a mess. She knew that she would have to hold him back and make sure he didn't hit Severus if that was their news.
"Don't worry so much Lucius. Hermione knows what she's doing, she can look after herself."
"I know but I want to be there now. I've only just found her and I've nearly lost her again already. I just want to try and be there for her so we can at least be a bit of a family you know?" She nodded and leaned over and kissed him. She heard a giggle and turned to see Hermione covering her mouth and Severus looked amused but what shocked her was that the giggle had come from a little boy standing in between them. They were both holding his hand. "And who may I ask is this little guy?" Lucius asked while he held a chair out for Hermione. The little boy looked upset but then moved at got up onto her lap. Severus shook his head and sat down next to them.
"This is Alex. My son." Rose gasped and looked at Lucius who looked ready to kill. Hermione saw this and spoke up.
"Dad please. It was before we got together and it's between me, Severus and Alex here. Please don't make more of it then there is. I'm happy and I would really like it if you could be happy for me." Lucius looked from her to Alex and sighed before nodded and saying it was time for something to eat.
Hermione had to order an extra large plate of food as Alex wouldn't move from her lap so they sheared a plate. Rose found it rather funny but didn't dare say anything as she knew Lucius was just one thing away from blowing. Hermione could see this as well but didn't care she just wanted him to understand that she knew what she was doing. Sighing she just sat there and ate with everyone else.
Severus looked at her and shook his head. He had wanted her to understand and stick by him through this but he didn't want her to lose her family over this. Looking at Lucius he nodded his head and got a nod in return. Saying they'd be back in a minute they walked into one of the back rooms the café had they sat down and went over everything.
Alex watched his dad walk off with Lucius and hoped he came back in one piece. He looked up at his new mummy with worry but she said everything would be ok. He nodded slowly but still he was worried. While finishing off the food he kept one eye on the way they had gone.
Rose watched Alex doing this and gave a small smile. "So are you ready to have a brother or sister Alex?" She was trying to take his mind off what was happening in the back room. He looked at her with the biggest grin on his face and told her about how he was going to bestest big brother ever. Hermione laughed and agreed with him. Rose gasped and was looking at something behind them and turning Alex stiffened in her arms before hiding his face in her chest.
There looking at them with murder in her eyes was a woman that had the same colour eyes as Alex and from the way he acted he knew her very well. Hermione frowned but turned back around. And asked her mother why she had gasped.
"That is Jillian. She's Alex's mother." When Rose said this Alex shook his head on her chest and kept saying no. Looking worried Hermione hugged him to her and asked if he wanted to go and see the toy shop next door. He nodded and she knew he just wanted to get out of there.
"Right we'll go and get daddy then we'll leave ok?" Rose nodded and getting up Hermione went to get her father and Severus while Rose went to pay the bill. Knocking on the door she asked if she could come in. When the door opened Severus stood there with a frown on his face. She told him who was there and that Alex wanted to go and see the toy shop next door. Nodding Severus looked at Lucius who also nodded and they said they'd meet her there in a minute. Hermione nodded before walking out and found her mother talking to Jillian. Rose saw her and with a little move of her eyes she knew that she was giving her an out without having to talk to her.
Alex didn't remove his head from her shoulder until they had left the café. He looked around himself before a small smile made its way onto his face and he kissed her cheek. Hermione felt her insides melt with happiness and also the wonder as she tried to figure out what that woman had done to make him so scared of her. She thought the best way was to ask him so she sat down on the bench just next to the toy shop.
"Honey, will you tell me what's wrong please? Maybe me and daddy can help." Hermione said in a soft voice as not to scare him away and retreat back into his shell. He was looking down at his hands and looked sad but he kept trying to say something but he couldn't seem to find the right words.
"She….I…I wouldn't eat my dinner and she got mad…she hit me…then it got worse…" He couldn't seem to go on but she got the idea and pulled him into her arms and rocked him in her arms. He let his tears fall and he knew that he was in good hands now. His father wanted him and he had a new mummy so he had everything he wanted and could ever want.
"Can…can we go look at the toys now please?" Hermione laughed but nodded her head and picked him up and walked into the shop before setting him down so he could look around.
Severus, Lucius and Rose had been watching then but hadn't heard what they were saying but from the looks of things Hermione had sorted them out. Lucius nodded and Severus knew that for now he at least wasn't going to try and told her out of being with him. He sighed and they walked to the toy shop to go and meet up with them. He knew that she would be a good mother to Alex and to any children they had. Now all he had to do was get Jillian to sign some papers to say she didn't want Alex ever again. Harder then it sounder he knew.
