They both suddenly stopped when they heard familiar soft sniffles coming from the doorway. They looked towards the door & saw April there; her thumb in her mouth & tears leaking down her face. Hermione made a move towards April, who screamed & ran to Ginny who had just walked in. Ginny picked her up & took her into the next room, mouthing 'sorry' to Hermione. Hermione sat down on a chair & began to cry, while Ron ran his hand through his hair. Hermione spoke through her tears, "Because of this stupid fighting thing we have, our daughter is afraid of us," she said as Harry walked in. "Is April ok?" Hermione asked, walking over to Harry, "Uh… sorta, she's a bit shaken up & she's crying," said Harry getting a cup of coffee. "Damn it!" said Ron suddenly, Hermione jumped a bit at hearing Ron's voice as he had been very quite for the past few minutes. "Sorry Mione, I shouldn't have come. We both need time to cool off," said Ron, "Cya Harry," & with that he was gone.

A few weeks past & Ron popped in occasionally to say 'hi' but apart from that things had remained the same. April wasn't talking to Ron or Hermione & whenever they entered the room, she'd get up & leave. But on the plus side Hermione & Ron were on better terms. On this particular morning Hermione woke up early & decided to take another punch at getting back in April's good books. So Hermione got dressed in a pair of cargo shorts & a black singlet top & headed to the kitchen. When she arrived April was sitting in front of the TV watching 'care bears' & sucking her thumb. Hermione crept up behind her & lifted her up, "Morning princess," she said happily, April was about to start crying when Hermione started to negotiate. "Honey, don't cry! Just hear me out, ok?" she said, sitting on the couch, April nodded & sat on her lap. "Ok, Da & I are slowly working things out & I'm going to go sort things out with him today, alright?" Hermione told her child, who grinned & hugged her mother. "I wanna cum twu!" April stated, Hermione thought about it for awhile. "Are you sure? You really want to come?" April nodded & crossed her arms. "Alright when are we going?" she asked her daughter who hopped off her lap, "Wite now!" with that Hermione lifted her up & with a 'pop' she & April were gone.

When they appeared in their home Hermione put April down, "Ok, you stay here & play & I'll go talk to Da," Hermione said kissing April's forehead, as April went over to the toy box.

Hermione walked into the kitchen to find Ron there eating coco pops. "Hey Ron," Hermione said sitting down next to him. "Hey Mione, what you doing here?" he asked happily. "I'm here to work things out, calmly & productively," she said, Ron nodded. "Can I start?" Hermione nodded. "Ok Hermione, you know I didn't kiss Nikki, she came onto me. I promise you that I only see her as a friend, not even that anymore," said Ron calmly. "What am I meant to do Ron? Do I go back to you & wait for this to happen again? Do I stay here? Or do I trust you & hope this never happens again?" Hermione asked tapping her fingers on the table. "You're not meant to do any of those things, you're meant to trust me & know that it'll never happen again," Ron said, putting his hand on hers & stopping the tapping of her fingers. Hermione instantly looked up when he touched her. She still got shivers whenever he touched her. She looked into his eyes & saw that he wasn't lying. Hermione smiled & thought deeply for a minute, then sighed. "Ok, but you have to promise not the see Nikki, I mean you can say 'hi' in the street but that's all," Hermione said sternly, getting up. Ron grinned, "I promise! I love you so much & sorry about calling you a bitch," he said standing up & hugging Hermione tightly & kissing her on the lips tenderly. When they broke apart they heard giggles coming from under the table, Hermione & Ron smiled knowingly at each other & looked under the table to find April there. She crawled out & Ron picked her up, "Hey there, were you eavesdropping?" he asked tickling her gently, she giggled. "No! I was jwust… uh… inspwecting the twiles, nup no dwust herew," she said keeping a straight face, her parents began to laugh.

In no time at all (3 months) it was Christmas & the scent of it was in the air, thankfully everyone had done their shopping. Ginny was even further along in her pregnancy & everyone was overjoyed. April, Hermione & Ron were holding together strongly & there hadn't been a single glance of Nic-hore-lette.

"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?" Ron asked one snowy day, four days before Christmas, Ginny grinned. "Yup," she said as Harry, walked into the room & sat across from Ron. Hermione looked at Ginny, "Well… what is it?" she asked curiously, Ginny & Harry looked at each other.
