* Kicking memories *

It was always nice to spend time with her children, even more now that they were growing up. She already missed Rose, but she knew her little girl was more than OK at Hogwarts learning everything she could and more. Hugo was still at Muggle School, so she had a few more hours before picking him up. She was sat at a table of the Leaky Cauldron and peering at the menu when a young red-haired girl approached her, one hand on her protruding baby bump; the other was holding a bag.
"I'm so sorry I'm late, mom. I didn't want to leave the shop unattended and..." the young girl said as Hermione made a hand gesture, dismissing the excuse.
"It's alright, sweetheart. I haven't been here that long. How are you feeling?" Hermione asked as her daughter sat on a chair in front of her.
"Ok, I guess. I'm not that nauseous anymore, which is quite good as I was getting bored of seeing the toilet first thing in the morning.," she said. Hermione nodded as Belle reached out for the menu. She was telling her mom about her day so far when she stopped mid-sentence and ran a hand through her stomach. Hermione looked at her, worried. Belle looked back.
"Something... Mom, I think I felt something.," she said. Hermione immediately placed her hand on her daughter's belly, and seconds later, she looked at her girl with a broad smile on her face and tears threatening to come down. Belle looked back and smiled too. "It's... it's so weird! It's never done this before!" she exclaimed.
"It's something special, isn't it?" Hermione asked, sniffing. Belle nodded. Hermione looked at her daughter's belly, mesmerised. It reminded her of the very first time she felt those kicking for herself:

*Flashback*
"I can't believe you're actually on board with this! It's extremely dangerous!" she shouted at Ron. Harry had suggested they should go to Godric's Hollow and Ron had agreed with it, stating it was a good place to go. However, Hermione thought otherwise.
"How could it be dangerous, Hermione? It's a village! It's full of people!" Ron shouted. After seeing his best friends disagreeing on the subject, Harry had opted for taking an early shift outside the tent.
"Doesn't make it less dangerous. Do you realise that is the first place Voldemort's going to check?" she exclaimed. Ron sighed. "Death Eaters could be hiding there, Ronald. We could be killed!" she shouted later.
"Or... we could find one of those horcruxes. Who knows? We won't know until we go!" he exclaimed. She was about to say something when she suddenly felt strange in her stomach. She put a hand on top of it and just breathed. There it was again. A thud in the middle of it. It was harder, which made it quite clear to her what was actually going on. Ron looked at her. He was starting to worry at her lack of response.
"Hermione? What is it? What's wrong?" he asked, walking to her. But she didn't say anything. She shook her head, tears running down her cheeks. She grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach. He looked at her, his eyes big and round as ping-pong balls. She looked back and smiled. He smiled back, leaned forward and kissed her passionately on the lips. She kissed him back with as much passion as his, but pulled away soon as she felt it again. There was no doubt about it. Ron looked at her belly mesmerised and soon they were both laughing and crying of joy.
"What is it? Are you alright?" Harry asked, walking in the tent.
"Everything's fine, Harry." she reassured him. Ron turned his head to his friend, big grin on his face.
"It's kicking! Harry, it's kicking!" he exclaimed. Harry just looked at them. "You have to feel it! It's amazing!" Ron added as he went and grabbed Harry's hand. He placed it on his girlfriend's belly. Harry couldn't believe how something so amazing was happening inside his female best friend. He started to smile.
"Does it... does it hurt you?" he managed to ask. She shook her head, brushing her tears with her hands. The three of them stood there feeling that new life moving around in its mother's womb.

"Adam will be so happy when I tell him about this. Although, he will also be a bit disappointed because he wasn't here first." Hermione heard Belle say as she was brought back to reality. A waiter approached them, ready to take their order. Belle looked up at her mother and smiled. "What is it?" she asked. Hermione shook her head, smiling, and kissed her daughter's temple.
"I'm so, so happy for you, my Belle. So happy." she said. And she really was. She hadn't seen her little girl that happy in a very long time, and experiencing that milestone in her life made her chest swell with pride.
