Chapter 3

It had been a week since Harry had found out that Hermione was pregnant. So far everything had gone smoothly, except for Hermione's occasional morning sickness. Harry had forgiven Hermione for not telling him and had said that everything was going to be okay. Hermione was a little over a month along she still looked like the same old Hermione, no stomach yet, hers was still smooth and flat but Harry and her knew otherwise, their baby was in there.

Hermione still couldn't believe that Harry had accepted her news so well she was expecting a fight and a big one too. But deep inside of her she knew that Harry wouldn't leave her she knew that this was just one of her greatest fears and that it would never come true.

They still had yet to tell her parents and all of their friends, but they wanted to wait until they were positive they were going to have a baby and there wasn't a miscarriage.

It was a Wednesday night and Hermione was home alone because Harry was over at Ron's house. Harry had said they had "guy stuff" to do. She was lying on the couch watch TV. She wasn't really paying attention to the show she had put on because she was trying to read a book at the same time. She soon gave up trying to read and watch TV at the same time and just ended turning the TV off.

"There that's better." She said to herself. Pretty soon she was interrupted again this time by the phone. Hermione began to stand up grumbling to herself about not being able to read a single page without being disrupted.

"Hello?" said Hermione.

"Hey honey, its me. I'm gonna be a little later than I thought because Ron and I have some things we need to do alright?"

"Oh." Said Hermione a hint of disappointment in her voice. "Yes I guess it's all right. Yes its fine."

"Hermione I know you want me home in a little while but this is really important and trust me you'll like it when I bring it home okay?"

"Bring what home?" She asked excitement spread through her veins.

"You'll see I promise you'll like it. I've got to go love. I'll be back as soon as possible. Okay?"

"Okay. Love you."

"Love you too see you in a while. Bye."

"Bye." Hermione hung up the phone and returned to the couch. She couldn't wait to see what Harry was going to bring home. While she waited for him to come she tried guessing what he was going to bring. Maybe it's that knew book that I've been dying to get for ages and he knows I want it, or maybe its something for the baby. That would be good to. Well I guess I'll just have to wait.

Hermione was fast asleep on the couch when Harry walked into their dark flat. He walked over and gently kissed her on the cheek. Hermione shifted in her sleep and then opened her eyes and blinked a couple times to see clearly.

"Hey honey." Said Harry as he kneeled on the floor so his face was eye level with hers. "I have something for you."

"Really?" She asked her voice sounding excited. Finally I'll get to see it. She thought.

"Yes really." He said chuckling. "Sit up and close your eyes. Okay? No peeking, you have to promise."

"I promise." She said while trying to laugh.

Harry waved a hand in front of her closed eyes and then ran out into the entrance hallway were the door was and picked up Hermione's surprise and made sure the little velvet red box was securely tied to the back of Hermione's surprise.

"Remember to look cute." Harry whispered.

Harry walked quickly back into the living room and kneeled down in front of Hermione.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now Hermione."

As soon as Hermione opened her eyes she smiled the biggest smile she had in days. Sitting in Harry's arms was a little yellow Labrador puppy, with a beautiful scarlet ribbon tied around its neck.

"Surprise." Said Harry grinning at Hermione at the look on her face. "It's a boy and his name is Cyrus."

"Oh Harry he's adorable, he's so small and look at all that puppy fat." She said reaching out to pick Cyrus up.

"I know he's only 7 weeks old, he's going to get pretty big to he weighs 10 pounds now." Said Harry as he helped Hermione lift Cyrus up.

"This is the best surprise ever Harry! I'm glad you stayed out later." She said and she got down on the floor with Harry so she could set Cyrus down.

"Hermione when I called you I already had Cyrus. Pick him up and look at his bow again." Said Harry.

Hermione picked Cyrus up just before he wandered off and looked at his bow, there was a little red velvet box. Hermione looked at Harry a confused expression on her face.

"Go on. Open it."

Hermione untied it from the ribbon and opened it. Inside was a ring. Oh my god. That's not just any ring that's an engagement ring.

"Hermione, will you marry me?"

Harry didn't need an answer because Hermione leaned forward kissed him square on the lips. She lifted her arms up to wrap around his neck the open box in her hand.

Harry felt Hermione's tears and pulled away to look at her.

"Will you?" he asked again even though he knew the answer.

"Yes!" she said choking back more tears that threatened to come out. "I will." She said smiling at him.

Harry stood up and picked her up and spun her around making sure not to step on Cyrus who had flopped down right in front of the couch and was fast asleep.

"Harry." Said Hermione laughing as she tightened her arms around his neck. "I love you."

Harry set her back down and wrapped his arms around her waist "I love you to." He said as he started to guide Hermione to the couch to lie down on.

Hermione laid down first Harry on top of her and Cyrus still soundly sleeping on the floor, Harry's hand moved down to Hermione's stomach and he lifted her shirt up so I was just above where her stomach would soon be sticking out.

"Daddy loves you too." Harry said to her stomach letting his finger glide over her silky smooth skin.

Hermione smiled at Harry and moved her hand down so it was flat against her stomach.

"Mummy loves you to." She said, Harry leaned down and kissed her belly. Then looked up at Hermione and leaned into kiss her, shifting his weight so he wasn't crushing Hermione and the baby.

"Just think." Said Harry " You're the future Mrs. Potter and in 8 more months give or take a few days we'll have a baby. A child. A kid. What do you want to name it if it's a boy?"

"Well I was thinking of maybe Jack or Adien, maybe James."

"I like them, and what if it's a girl?"

"Hmm I had trouble with this one I narrowed it down though to Isabella, Lily, Persephone' or Sarah."

"They sound good to me." Said Harry smiling at her. "When can we find out of it's a boy or a girl?"

"We could right now if you want." Hermione said.

"Really? I want to." Harry said quietly while looking at Hermione.

"Okay. Do you have your wand?"

"Yes."

"Okay say genus."

"Okay." Said Harry. "Ready?"

"Yes." Said Hermione.

"Genus."

A faint pink started to glow over Hermione. It was a girl.

"It's a girl." Said Hermione. "What should we name her? Isabella Lily?"

"Yea, I like that a lot Hermione. Did you pick Lily because it was my mum's name?"

"Yea I guess I really like that name so I thought we could use it in part of Isabella's name. Isabella Lily Potter. It has a nice ring to it don't you think?" Said Hermione smiling at Harry as she said the name. "Hermione Potter. Mrs. Potter. Mr. and Mrs. Potter. I like that too." She said grinning

"Mrs. Hermione Potter."
