Hey Guys! Well Ron's done it, he's now officially knocked Hermione up...jk, I actually hate that expression 'knocked up' it just sounds so wrong, doesn't it? Well anyways, here's more!

After leaving the doctor's office, Hermione felt like she didn't want to apparate home just yet. She took a walk in a London park to help clear her head. I'm going to be a mother. Me, Hermione Granger... wait, Weasley I mean. But wow! Can Ron and I handle this? Is it too soon after being back together? Will we make good parents? How am I going to tell Ron? These questions circled Hermione's brain as she took a stroll on the beautiful October day. She knew that she wanted to be a mother but she was so unsure about her ability. Suddenly, she remembered her parents. She had sent them word of her getting back together with Ron weeks ago but she hadn't had a good talk with her mother in ages. Without thinking twice she hid behind a tree in the muggle park and apparated to her parent's home.

She knocked on the door and her mother answered.

"Hermione! Its so great to see you, sweetie!" Her mother gave her a strong squeeze and let her come in. "It looks like you have something on your mind, dear. I also want to say how happy I am that you are back together with Ron. I'm so pleased, I knew he was the only boy for you and-" Mrs. Granger was cut off when she saw Hermione sit down sullenly and look up at her mother anxiously. "What's wrong? Oh my, has something happened between you and Ron. Oh dear!"

"No mum, everything between me and Ron is fine. Its just that... Mum, I went to the doctors this morning and she told me that I was... that I am pregnant." Mrs. Granger put her hands up to her mouth to stifle the happy scream she let out.

"Oh that's wonderful!! I'm going to be a grandmother! I'm so happy, wait until I tell your father!" Hermione smiled slyly as her mum enveloped her in a practically bone crushing hug.

"Mum, I'm scared."

"Of what, dear?"

"Of having a baby. I don't know if I'm ready or not." Hermione sat down again with tears in her eyes, "What if I'm not a good mum?" Mrs. Granger looked at her daughter and thought to herself Poor Ron, her mood swings have already acted up. He's in for a fun ride.

"Oh honey. You're going to make a great mum. And on the matter of whether you're ready or not, well, no one is really 'ready' for such things. Its like when I had you. You can prepare all you want but no matter what you do, there will always be something to surprise you. I'm so confident that you can do this Hermione. I have no doubt in my mind that you can do this, and be a good mum. And Ron too, he'll make a great father. Just have a little faith in yourself, Hermione." Hermione looked at her mother sitting beside her. She felt a lot better and was glad she had come to visit her mum. After some tea and a little chat, Hermione felt much better and decided it was time to go home.

Ron was sitting on the sofa reading The Daily Prophet when Hermione apparated in. Ron looked up and she looked a little dizzy. Oh great, Hermione thought, the doctor told me I can't apparate if I feel dizzy. Ugh, first side effects of being pregnant... a loss of freedom. Hermione chuckled at herself as Ron came up to her,

"Are you feeling alright? You looked a little dazed." She smiled at the concern in his voice.

"I'm fine Ron. But I would be better if you just shut up and gave me a kiss." Ron willingly listened to her. "Are you hungry?" Ron looked at her skeptically and said,

"Of course I'm hungry, when have I not been?" Hermione rolled her eyes and acknowledged the truth in his statement as she waved her wand towards the kitchen to begin to prepare dinner. Ron sat down again and Hermione knelt beside him and said,

"I love you so much, do you know that?" Ron glanced at her oddly and said,

"Yes, I know that and I absolutely love you too. Hermione you've been acting strange these last few days. Wait, last week and a half or so. Is everything alright? I'm getting a sense something is going on that you aren't telling me." Hermione stood up and placed her hand comfortingly on his face,

"Ron, we'll discuss everything during dinner. And let me tell you, you're going to be very surprised at what is happening." He looked at her quizzically and nodded. She kissed him again and headed off to the kitchen. Man is she acting weird! Ron thought to himself as he reread the same article he had been trying to read in the last five minutes.

Ha ha, I'm so cruel to leave it off there! lol but anyways, please review (here I am sounding like a broken record again!) Next Chapter I promise Hermione will tell Ron!
