Surprised
She woke up in the Hospital Wing several days later feeling worse than she had when she had taken four stunners to her chest. Her long time friend Poppy and a worried Hagrid had stayed by her side the entire time. Poppy had scolded Minerva when she had wakened for not taking better care of herself but she didn't care anymore and she told Poppy so. That's when she received the surprise of her life.
Minerva couldn't believe it. Here she was grieving for her dead lover, which no one knew about except her, and then found out that she was having a baby at her age. She knew some witches gave birth late in life but this was ridiculous, she was old enough to be someone's grandmother, she shouldn't be having a baby. She didn't know what to do. She didn't want to be a single mother especially with all of the responsibilities of Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix but she didn't want to terminate the pregnancy either. This baby was the only part of Albus she had left and she was determined to keep it close and safe.
"Minerva do you want me to brew a potion to fix this little problem?" Poppy asked casually.
Minerva gave her the best glare she could manage and shook her head no. "But Minerva, a woman your age should not have children, it's too dangerous. It could be life threatening for you."
"It doesn't matter Poppy, I will have to take that chance," Minerva calmly stated.
"Professor surely you value your life more than that!" Hagrid chimed in.
Minerva smiled sadly at him and then answered. "Hagrid I do value my life but this child is more important. This child is the only Dumbledore left and I refuse to take its life before it has a chance to live."
"So Albus is the father," Poppy asked curiously.
Minerva nodded and then started to cry. "But he'll never know," she sobbed. Poppy wrapped Minerva in a hug and lulled her to sleep with her gentle rocking.
