NPOV

It was weird not having danger around every corner for the first time since I could remember, but it was a welcome relief.

Catherine sold her Fathers house saying she couldn't stand to be there, it wasn't her home anymore, just a place where the bad memories haunted her more than the good ones.

She went back to Hogwarts with Hermione Ginny and Luna wanting to complete her N.E.W.T.S while me and Harry started working for the ministry finding the last remaining Death Eaters out there and making sure they were locked up. Ron eventually joined us after helping George get back on his feet after Fred's death.

I had proposed to her one night while we were in bed, she was lying on me gently falling asleep as I rubbed her back and kissed the top of her head every now and then when it suddenly came to me. I wanted us to be like this forever, I knew we would be even without us getting married, but deep down I wanted her to be Mrs Catherine Longbottom.

"Cathy?"

"Hm?" she was slowly drifting into sleep now but I couldn't stop myself. "I love you, I really love you." She placed a small kiss on my chest settling down again. "I…Love you...too." She whispered between yawns.

I thought I might have blurted it out but when it escaped my lips it felt like the most natural thing in the world "Will you marry me?"

she yawned slightly before answering. "Not...right now." I smiled to myself manoeuvring myself lower so my face was next to hers. "No, not now. But will you?"

"I'm not asleep am I?"

"Nope." She opened her eyes slightly and smiled at me. "You want to marry me?" I leaned in kissing her deeply letting my lips linger against hers for a while. "Very much so. Do you want to marry me?"
"Yes. I do. Very much so."

We waited until we were 21 to get married not wanting to rush it, we had all the time in the world to be together and after everything that happened at Hogwarts we wanted to take it easy first moving out of my grandmothers into our own place, The garden was completely overgrown so I spent hours out there weeding digging, obtaining plenty of cuts and scraps but I wanted everything to be perfect for her, for us.

I was out in the garden when she walked out arms folded wearing my favourite sundress that she always looks perfect in, but lately she had been looking a little more radiant.

"How's my Gran?"

She seemed spaced out but quickly snapped out of it looking over to me. "Oh…uh, I didn't go to see her."

"What?"

"I…Kind of lied."

I felt my heart plummet then, why would she lie? Where was she then?

She starred at the bushes I had just planted rubbing her arms, it was almost evening and the air was starting to get colder.

"Well, where were you?"

"St Mungos."

"What? Why?"

"I've, just been feeling ill lately."

I ripped my gloves off and threw them to the floor grasping her shoulders. "What's wrong? Please tell me you're ok?"

She was sucking on her bottom lip starring at me; she leaned in kissing me tenderly then resting her forehead against mine.

"I'm pregnant." She whispered and I felt every nerve in my body freeze.

She was looking at me nervously and I could feel her shaking underneath my hands.
"Pre…pregnant?"

"Yeah, about 13 weeks." She nervously laughed a small smile on her face.

I looked back and forth from her face to her stomach and started smiling wildly.

"We're having a baby? There is a little person growing inside you right now?" She nodded and I placed hand on her stomach. "I'm going to be a dad." I whispered sounded like I didn't quite believe it, I didn't really, this was all too surreal but it was incredible. I quickly wrapped my arms around her hugging her tightly. "We're going to be a proper family? That's...that's incredible."

"You're not scared?"

"I'm terrified…but I'm going to be a dad. That's something worth being terrified about."

So that's it! My first ever story finished. Thanks to every single person that read my story or reviewed, added it to their Favourites, all of those things really. I was surprised at how many actually read this story but I've really enjoyed writing it. One Final Review? x

I should have a new Neville Fic up soonish but it's going to much shorter than this, probably a series of one shots. I'm still working on it. Again, thanks you guys, you're all awesome.
