Hermione sat on the bed in shocked. She sat up more and buried her head in her hands. Hermione had no idea what Severus was doing.
Severus walked down the hall to the room Hermione had been staying in. He opened the closet and dug around on the top shelf. He pulled a jewelry box out and set it on the bed. He opened the box and pulled out a smaller velvet box. He opened the lid in the box and saw the ring was still inside.
Severus put the box in his pocket and walked back to his room. He found Hermione crying.
"Oh, Hermione, I wasn't leaving you." He said pulling her in to his arms and rubbed her hair and back.
"Then, why did you walk out Severus? Do you not want to get married? I am fine with that; I was just asking." Hermione said with her head buried in his chest.
Severus reached into his pocket and pulled out the small box.
"Hermione, I know everything is sudden. I am not a romantic but I will try. I have always felt drawn to you. That night at the club was the best night because you came to stay in my life. I will be here for you and the baby. And I do want to get married," Severus paused and pulled Hermione away from his chest and grabbed her hand, "Will you, Hermione Granger, marry me?"
Hermione wiped her hand over her eyes. She looked to the ring Severus had started to put on her finger. It was silver with a small red stone on the top.
"Of course, Severus." He finished slipping the ring on her finger and gathered her on to his lap once more. He pulled her face to meet his and captured her lips in a kiss.
Severus held on to Hermione and settled against the headboard. He levitated the tray to the dresser.
"I am sorry for assuming that you were leaving, Severus." Hermione whispered.
"No, Hermione I am sorry for just leaving the room after your question. I could have been a bit more tactful."
Hermione chuckled and settled against her fiancee'.
A short time later Severus looked down and saw that Hermione was asleep again. He moved down the bed until his face was level with her navel.
"Hello, I doubt you can hear me yet, but I am your Daddy. We chatted earlier. I need you to go easy on your Mommy. I know you are going to be big and strong like any other Prince baby. Your Mom isn't a fragile being but her body has been through a lot. Please go easy and tell us if anything is wrong." Severus set his hand on Hermione's lower stomach and felt a small surge of magic. "Was that you Little One?"
He felt it again and took it for a yes. Severus smiled and moved back to to cuddle with Hermione and take a small nap as well.
