So, I just wanted to tell eveyone thank you for the continued support. It means a lot to me, although I must say, seeing reviews on my stories really makes my day bright. Thank you to all who continually review my chapters.

Kitty was lying down on a bed at St. Mungos with Severus sitting in a chair beside her, holding her hand as they waited for the doctor to come in and tell them the results of the testing. Severus squeezed her hand in reassurance as the doctor knocked and entered the little room. He had a grave expression on his face that instantly made Kittiara nervous. Severus looked at the doctor, trying to study his face for any gives as they waited for the news.

"I'm afraid I have some good news and some bad news for you. Which would you like first." Severus looked at Kitty who's face was horror stricken.

"Give us the bad first I guess." Severus said. The doctor nodded before continuing.

"Well, the bad news is that Kitty's disease is progressing at an alarming rate because of the pregnancy. Instead of her antibodies fighting it, they are busy making sure the baby is alright. Also, the chances for miscarriage are quite high due to her condition. The good news is that the baby looks very healthy." Kitty smiled a little at the last part, but Severus looked back at her with a tear attempting to betray him and slide down his cheek. He was going to lose her after all. "I suggest bed rest for the majority of the pregnancy. Take it easy and everything will work out just fine."

"But the baby is okay, right?" The doctor nodded.

"For now, indeed she is okay."

"You said she? It's a little girl then?"

"Yes, yes it is. You are expecting a girl around the 26th of march." Kitty smiled at this. she was having a little girl. It was like all of a sudden everything was much more real. Severus looked a little concerned.

"Will Kitty be alright?" He asked. Kitty's eyes lowered a bit. She had almost forgotten that her health was failing.

"Yes, but she needs plenty of rest and relaxation. No stress also. Don't let her clean, cook, or do anything strenuous where she is on her feet more than twenty minutes at a time. And make sure you come back in a month for your follow up. If things get worse, come in before then." The doctor handed her a paper with care instructions which Severus snatched from her hands. He was going to make sure she made it through this. Kitty looked at him sheepishly, he knew her well. She sighed as she knew she would be under constant surveillance from Severus, let alone Minerva and Poppy. Then of course the whole staff knows she's pregnant. This will be an interesting ride.

Severus helped Kitty up and flooed into Minerva's office. Minerva jumped at first, but then relaxed as she realized who it was. "How is she?" Minerva asked with a concerned look on her face. Kitty opened her mouth to say she was fine, but Severus beat her to the punch.

"She and the baby will be alright, but she needs plenty of rest. Don't let her stand too long, no housework, ect." Kitty sighed, just as she thought. It was going to be a long nine months. At least he cared again. Minerva looked concerned as she read over the paper.

"She will have to teach her classes sitting down." Minerva concluded. Severus glared at her.

"That's if I let her at all. This is serious Minerva." Minerva nodded.

"I know, but you and I both know she can handle it, besides, it isn't stressful and she would be off her feet. You can also stand in there if she needs you to keep the children in order for her." Severus paused as if to think it over for a moment. Kitty on the other hand was getting annoyed.

"You know I'm sitting right here." She said, clearly annoyed with everyone deciding her fate for her. Both of them stopped and looked over at her for the first time during this whole conversation. "I will be teaching my classes and I don't need a chaperone."

"Maybe not, but it may be a good idea for the baby's sake." Severus said softly.

"Alright fine." Kitty sighed. It wasn't like she could say no at this point especially since he had a valid argument. Minerva and Severus seemed to relax a little as they were both tense because of the situation. It was Kitty at stake along with her unborn child which meant a lot to Minerva and Severus. Severus was going to be the father of the baby so of course he was concerned, but Minerva felt as if she was Kitty's mother, so she didn't want to lose a child and a future grandchild over this illness that Kittiara was battling.

Kittiara felt her stomach rumble as it quelled with hunger. She looked back up at the two who were caught in a deep conversation that Kitty had lost track of roughly ten minutes or so ago. She sighed and looked up at the grandfather clock. It was around noon and she was more than ready to eat a hearty lunch. Rather than interrupt the two, she got up carefully and made her way towards the door before she was stopped in her tracks by Minerva.

"Where do you think you're going?" She asked. It wasn't in a rude sort of voice, but more of a concerned one.

"To eat some lunch, I'm starving." Kitty replied with a smirk. Minerva nodded.

"I didn't realize it was that time already. Let me walk you." Severus looked over at the two with misty eyes. Kitty could tell he was thinking, because whenever he was thinking like that, his eyes glossed over a misty blue. "I'm sure Severus will join us in a while."

Kitty smiled as she walked down the stairs, making sure to hold on to the rail on the way down. She didn't want to fall, especially now that she had someone else to think about as well. As they walked into the Great Hall, almost all of the professors glanced over at her. It wasn't the usual, hi how are you, glance, but a rather odd one like, good gods, i can't believe she is pregnant. Some where probably thinking her a whore, but in truth she has only been with Severus. Kitty felt her stomach unsettle at the looks she was receiving.

She was happy, why couldn't anyone else be happy for her? It was almost like she was forbidden to have a life on the side of teaching. God forbid she actually fell in love and started a family. Minerva and Severus seemed to be more happy about the situation then angry. They were a bit concerned, yes, but then again, they knew of her prior condition. THis was a privilege the rest of the school didn't have, so she didn't understand this at all.

She sat down between Minerva and where Severus would be sitting in a few minutes. Kitty piled her plate with food and began to eat with fervor. It had been hours since she had eaten last and she could feel the hunger pang as she waited every second since eleven o'clock. Kitty looked over and seen Rolonda staring. What was it with these teachers? Kitty wished she could say it didn't bother her, but it really did. Was there a huge sign on her forehead that said stare at me? Kitty rolled her eyes and looked away from the flying professor.

Just then Severus entered the Great hall with his usual scowl. Kitty knew it was just a ruse to compensate for his insecurities, but no one else really seemed to know that. When he finally sat down beside her, Kitty smiled up at him with a slight blush. "I feel like an exhibit at a museum." Kitty said in a whisper to her companion.

"Why is that?"

"It just seems like everyone is staring at me funny." Severus grinned a little. Just enough that no one else would really notice.

"That's because it is prohibited for staff to sleep together. Lucky for you though, I am the headmaster so they won't say anything. Also you are the first pregnant professor in centuries." Kitty's mouth fished.

"Are you serious?" Severus chuckled a little.

"Yes, why would I lie to you?" Kitty was at a loss for words at that moment, so she filled it with more mashed potatoes. This caused Severus to grin. "Well, I must say that I didn't expect that to happen. I'm usually so careful when I have intercourse with anyone. I just forgot the charm once and poof, there it is. The odds are what, one in a hundred?" Kitty laughed at this one.

"Pretty sure they are lower than that as I'm supposed to be near steril with my condition." Severus's face fell for a moment as he began to think.

"I'd bet my hat that it was the new potion I brewed for you. I was watching for obvious side effects like seizures and such, but I never thought about fertility." Kitty giggled.

"Well, at least it isn't much of an issue now." Severus smiled.

"Well, the damage is already done, you can't get pregnant twice at a time." Kitty smiled and began to eat when a hand made it's way to her knee. She could feel a heat make it's way to her core. God's she missed that. She could feel his hand make it's way slowly up her thigh, moving her robes against her inner folds. She struggled not to moan, but it felt so good. She could feel her breath get heavy as she tried to suppress the urge to unzip his pants and fuck him right there. Her hormones seemed to make her hornier than usual.

"severus..." She hissed with a heavy exhale of breath. He smiled and Minerva looked over and noticed Kitty breathing hard.

"Kitty, are you alright?" She whispered to her. Severus removed his hand quickly and blushed a little before regaining his composure.

"Yeah.. It was just smelling this amazing food." Minerva wasn't sure about this answer, but she let it go and continued her conversation with Sibil. Kitty sighed, that was a close one. Severus leaned in close and pressed his finger to her inner folds and applied a little pressure.

"Meet me in my rooms in exactly one hour." He said before leaving Kitty behind, flustered and in public.
