Hermione tried to roll over and found something draped across her stomach keeping her in place. She moved her arm up and found that it was Severus's arm that was holding her. She moved his arm a bit and rolled to face him. Hermione ran her fingers along his face and smiled.

Severus smiled in his sleep and Hermione jumped thinking he was waking up.

Hermione gently shoved his arms off of her and got out of the bed. She set off to the kitchen to make a small snack. After she set the kettle to boil, she sat at the table and placed a hand on her stomach and smiled.

She was shaken from her trance when a plate and a cup of tea were placed in from of her.

"Pleasant thoughts I hope." Severus said, "I would hate for them to be nasty with that serene smile on your face while thinking them."

"I hope I didn't wake you by leaving the bed." Hermione said picking up her sandwich. "And I was just thinking about the baby."

Severus smiled at her and reached a hand across the table to grasp hers.

"I am happy about this. I hope you are too, Severus. I know it isn't planned but I suddenly couldn't see things being any other way."

"I am very happy. I never thought I would be a father. I don't care how this came about, I wouldn't change it for the world. We are getting married and we are going to be happy. Now lets see if we can get some food to stay in that overworked body of yours," he said pushing the sandwich closer to her.

Hermione took a couple bites of her sandwich and looked over at Severus. He was staring across the room. He appeared to be deep in thought.

"What's on your mind?" she asked softy hoping not to spook him.

"We need to move. We don't really have room for a baby here. At least not safely. I was wondering where you would want to go compared to where I would want to move to," he replied not looking at her.

"How soon do you want to move, Severus? And where?"

"I want to be in London somewhere. I am tired of being isolated. I want to be able to have a lab so I can continue to work and support us."

"That sounds good to me. We will be close to everything we need. And easy access to get to everyone we want to see."

Severus thought that she had good reasons for agreeing to his location. Depending on if they chose Wizarding London or Muggle London, they would be very close to everything.

"Can we buy a house, love?" he heard Hermione whisper so low he wasn't really sure if he heard it.

"Could you speak up, Little Lion?"

"Can we buy a house, Love?" she asked a little louder this time. Severus looked over and what he saw broke his heart.

Hermione had her legs pulled u in the chair. Her arms were wrapped around her legs and her face was buried between her chest and knees. She looked like she was hiding while she asked about the house.

"Uncurl yourself please, Hermione. That can not possibly be comfortable for you." Severus said while walking over to her.

Hermione slowly uncurled herself and stared at Severus as he came over, fear in her eyes.

"I am not going to hurt you, Little Witch." Severus whispered as he knelled in front of her. He slowly reached his hand out to cu her face and draw her to him.

"I know you won't. Bringing up buying a house used to set Ron off and I guess I just reacted to what I am used to."

Severus wrapped his arms around her trembling body and held her to him. He ran a hand down her back and whispered to her that he would never hurt her and that was a promise. Severus felt Hermione relax in his arms and he let out a breath, he hadn't realized he was holding.

"I want to buy a house. I want a place to call my own. A place I can feel safe and know that I control everything about it. Is that too much to ask, Severus?"

"No it isn't, Hermione. That is normal. And you can do whatever you want to whatever house we find."

Hermione picked her sandwich back up and took another bite.

"Think you could make me some real food? This isn't gonna do it." she chuckled.

"Of course." Severus said laughing as he got up, "Anything certain you want? Or should I ask the baby?"

"Ask the baby!" Hermione shouted with laughter in her voice. Hermione leaned back and pulled her shirt up.

Severus bent over and put his hand on Hermione's still flat stomach, "What does my Little One wish to eat?" They wait for a minute and then Severus chuckled.

"Well, you are on your own. Baby has nothing to say at this time."

Hermione pouted. "I think I want some pizza and those bread sticks you made the other night."

"I can handle that. Why don't you take a shower while I cook? You look like you could use some relaxation."

"That sounds really good." Hermione got up and started for the stairs. "Thank you, for everything Severus."

"It's nothing compared to what you are giving me." he said pulling bowls and ingredients from the cupboards.

Severus started mixing the stuff together to make his crust and set it aside so it could rise. He began chopping vegetables and grating cheese for the pizza and on top of the bread sticks. After that was done he mixed up the dough for the bread sticks and sat down. He listened and realized he didn't hear the shower running.

Severus made his way up the stairs and looked in the bathroom and found Hermione's stuff sitting on the counter but Hermione wasn't in the bathroom. When he looked in the bedroom he found the small witch curled up on the bed asleep. He pulled a blanket over her and went back downstairs to finish dinner.
