Young and Innocent
Chapter 2

"Hermione you ok in there?" Ron asked through the bathroom door, Hermione had been in there for about 5 minutes.

"Fine," she said weakly and turned the water on to rinse out her mouth. Morning sickness was the worst, and it wasn't even just in the morning but all day.

She rubbed the small lump on her stomach, she was 3 months pregnant and she has gone through nausea, backaches, mood swings, and tons of stress.

She opened the bathroom door to find Ron waiting. "Hey Hermione, I have to get to work," he said and kissed her cheek. "I will be back at lunch," He smiled and

Hermione nodded. He apparated away and Hermione went to the living room and sat on the couch, she picked up a book and started to read.

'What you eat isn't only important for your own health anymore, but for the current and future health of your baby. Healthy foods are the building blocks for your growing baby since pregnancy is a complex time of developing new tissues and organs. Throughout pregnancy, try to make most of your food choices healthy ones. Eating junk food during pregnancy leads to too much weight gain without meeting your increased need for nutrients.' S

She had been reading this Muggle pregnancy book for about a week and had read it at least twice. She had been as careful as possible the past few weeks, not wanting to jeopardize her baby's health.

'During your pregnancy, you might feel tired even when you've had a lot of sleep at night. Many women find they're exhausted in the first trimester. Don't worry, this is normal! This is your body's way of telling you that you need more rest. After all, your body is working very hard to develop a whole new life. Tiredness will pass over time and be replaced with a feeling of well being and more energy. When you are tired, get some rest. Try to get eight hours of sleep every night, and a nap during the day if you can. If you feel stressed, try to find a way to relax. You might want to start sleeping on your left side, if you find it more comfortable. This will relieve pressure on major blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. If you have high blood pressure during pregnancy, it is even more important to be on your left side when you are lying down'

"Like I have time to relax," She thought out loud.

"You have plenty of time," Ginny said standing in the doorway to the living room.

"Oh hello Ginny, yes come in," She said sarcastically.

"Sorry, just wanted to come see how you are," she smiled and came to sit next to her.

"I'm fine, little hungry, sick, and tired but fine," She sighed.

Ginny rubbed her friends back, "Its ok, soon it will be over and you'll have your beautiful baby and you won't even remember all this," she smiled

"Yeah, "she smiled and rubbed her tiny stomach."So where is Harry?" She asked. Ginny and Harry had gotten married 5 months ago and lived in a small house not to far away.

"He is at home; he was working late last night"

"Ohh tell him I said hello," She said and stood up, "Want anything to eat?"

"Sit! I will get everything. Do you want something?" she asked standing up.

"Ginny...I'm only 3 months pregnant," she laughed.

"You still need to relax!" Ginny insisted

"Fine. Hmm, how about some soup? Chicken noodle" Hermione said and went to sit in the kitchen as Ginny started on the food.

"Hermione, I think...I think Harry is cheating on me," she said turning to Hermione with tears in her eyes.

"What? Ginny I'm sure he isn't...what makes you think that?" She asked hugging Ginny

"Well, I was taking his clothes to wash them, and they all smell like cheap perfume," She said, now starting to cry.

"Ohh Ginny I'm sure there is a reason for this. Maybe he...he is investigating...a...a perfume store," Hermione said, and frowned.

"That was the worst story I have ever heard," Ginny said and couldn't help but let out a small laugh.

"Just ask him Ginny," Hermione said and kissed Ginny's forehead.

"Ok, I will when I get home, thanks" she smiled.

Ron and Hermione were walking in Diagon Alley and they walked past the Baby store, Hermione stopped in stared in the window. "Oh Ron I can't wait to have this baby," She smiled looking at the cute little outfits through the window.

"Me either," Ron smiled and wrapped his arms around Hermione's stomach and looked through the window.

"Can we go look around? I know we can't buy too much yet but let's look," Hermione said and smiled at Ron.

They walked into the small store; it was full of baby clothes, toys, cribs, and other little children stuff. Hermione picked up a little pink dress and ran her hands over the soft fabric.

"You want a girl don't you?" Ron asked and grinned at her.

"It does matter, but a little girl would be cute, I could dress her up in the cutest outfits," She smiled, "A boy would be just as wonderful though,"

"Yeah, I could teach him to fly a broom and make sure you don't dress him like a geek."

"What? I would not," she said defensively.

"of coarse you wouldn't," he grinned, "I'm just joking"

"Yeah, yeah," she said and smiled. "Ok come on we are late for the doctors," She reminded and they left.
