Ron was sleeping peacefully on the couch when Hermione came home in the morning.

"Ron," Hermione said shaking Ron gently. "Sweetheart wake up. I'm home."

"Huh? What?" said Ron groggily.

"Baby I'm home."

Ron sat up straight. "Where have you been?" he asked in a voice that sounded strangely like his mother. "I've been waiting up nearly half the night."

"What do you mean where have I been?" Hermione asked. "I told you where I was going last night before I left."

"Yeah but I didn't think you were actually no going to come home," he said.

Hermione chuckled. "What did you think I meant when I said "Don't expect me back tonight'?" she asked.

He shrugged. " I don't know. I guess I was hoping you'd come back so we could talk about this baby stuff."

Hermione smiled. "Look sweetie, I just needed a night to myself to think." She continued, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you."

Ron smiled and kissed her on her forehead. "It's okay, I'm just glad you're home. I think we need to talk about last night."

"So do I," she said. " I know this baby has come as a shocker." At that statement Ron scoffed but Hermione gave him a look that quickly shut him up. "We didn't plan for this baby. And I'm not even sure that with what we have going on in our lives right now that we're even ready for this baby."

"You're not?" asked Ron hopefully.

"No, I'm not," she paused. "But despite all that, I still want to have this child.

As she finished she looked at Ron hoping to be able to read his face to see his reaction. "Ron? Honey? Could you say something? Please?" she asked.

"Uh.uh," he began but Hermione interrupted him.

"Well, honey how do you feel?" she asked.

Ron hesitated, not sure of what to say. However Hermione was looking at him expectantly so he said the first thing that came to mind. " I feel exactly the same." "Really?" she exclaimed. Ron nodded. "Oh honey, this is wonderful! We're going to have a baby!! Oh my God!! We're going to have a baby!!" Hermione exclaimed. She jumped up, gave Ron a kiss and a hug. " I have to go tell Ginny the wonderful news. Oh! Guess what? Ginny's pregnant too! Isn't it great? Love ya! Bye!"

"I love you too," Ron said but Hermione was already gone. "Blimey," he said aloud. "Is the whole world pregnant?"

A/N: I know that was really short but the next chapter is much longer. As always review are much appreciated.
