Observations
Hours later Minerva and Albus were eating breakfast, well not exactly breakfast, it was more like lunch. They sat close together just enjoying each other's company. When Albus was finished with his plate he sat back in his chair and watched Minerva. She was halfway through her second plate. He had never known Minerva to have such a big appetite. "Do you eat like this at every meal?" he asked then regretted when she sent him a glare.
"I'm eating for three now," she said defensively.
"No need to get upset, I was just teasing," he explained trying to calm her mood before her oversensitive emotions took over. She smiled lovingly at him before digging back into her plate.
After breakfast they played a couple games of chess which Minerva won of course. Albus had settled back in the couch when she called for a House Elf. She requested a mug of hot chocolate and bowl of lemon drops then looked at Albus in a silent inquiry which he declined. His grin stretched ear to ear as he watched Minerva attack her sweets. He decided the babies were going to be the best thing that ever happened to him and Minerva.
He was shaken out of his thought when she plopped her feet in his lap and waited expectantly. After a couple of minutes staring at her, he gave in and massaged her swollen feet. She purred contently and relaxed. Within minutes she was sleeping peacefully so he gently picked her up and carried her to bed. He crawled in beside her, pulled her close and then surrendered to his own tiredness.
Albus was woken by Minerva's kisses. She had woken, found herself in bed securely tucked in his embrace and wanted to show him her love. She allowed her emotions to take control and now her desire longed to be sated. He quickly sprang to action and had her completely satisfied in a little over an hour.
"I love you Tabby."
"How much?" she asked.
He studied her for a minute before asking, "What do you want?"
She smiled at his ability to read her so well and then answered honestly, "I want you to wash my back and feet I have some difficulty reaching them these days."
He smiled then agreed. He watched her naked form walk un-bashfully to the bathroom and quickly followed suite. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever imagine her like this. Sometimes he dreamed of her pregnant with his child but his dreams paled in comparison to the reality of it. She was always beautiful to him but she seemed more so with her swollen belly. Yep, he liked seeing her pregnant, he liked it a lot. He was glad Dobby had convinced Minerva to take weekly pictures. He would enjoy them for years to come.
For weeks, Albus and Minerva spent their days together. When they would wake Albus would planted two kisses to Minerva's belly and say good morning to the babies, the gestures always touched Minerva. He would give her a loving kiss and then make love to her. They showered together so he could wash the spots she no longer had the ability to reach and then scamper downstairs to eat. They would play a few games of chess and discuss the babies. Minerva always fell asleep on the couch so Albus would carry her up to the bedroom. Sometimes he joined her and others he would read until she woke. They would eat lunch then Albus would give Minerva full body massages that always lead to love making. They would go outside, sit on the porch swing and enjoy the Scottish mountainside view. After dinner they would sit by the fire and talk. It didn't matter what they discussed, the important thing was that it calmed Minerva. When they went to bed, Albus kissed Minerva's belly and said sleep well to the babies. Sometimes they made love, others they held each other, but they would sleep peacefully in each others embrace.
