Indescribable Pain
Remus stood outside his bedroom door listening to the sound of his wife sobbing. He wished he could take the pain away, wished he could make things better and give his wife everything she ever wanted but he couldn't.
He opened the door softly and walked towards the king sized bed where Hermione was laying. He slipped off his black boots and climbed onto the bed behind Hermione spooning her.
Remus wrapped his arm around her placing his hand on top of hers, which lay, upon her stomach. He placed a soft kiss behind her ear and pulled her into him.
'I'm sorry.' He whispered.
'It's not your fault.' She replied as she squeezed his hand. 'It's mine.'
'Hermione.' He said softly.
'You can't say it's not Remus.' She said as fresh tears descended. 'It's me, it's my body!'
'We'll keep trying.' He said as he kissed her head over and over again. 'I promise.'
Hermione nodded sighing as she let the tears fall.
'I just want a baby, your baby, our baby.' She said as she turned in his arms.
'And I want the same.' He said.
'Not as much as me.' She replied. 'You have Teddy. You have a child. You've experienced it all before so it's not the same need as I have.'
'Hermione. I want a child with you. I want us to raise our child together. I want nothing more than to watch you pregnant with my child.' He said looking into her honey eyes.
Hermione tears fell down her face as she looked up at her long-term partner.
Never in her life had she felt such pain, such grief for the one thing she wanted more than anything. It hurt her so much to watch Remus with 13-year-old Teddy whilst she sat childless and in pain. Indescribable pain.
'I'm scared.' Hermione said as she looked at him. 'I'm scared we'll never have a baby.'
'We'll never give up.' He replied as he leaned down and kissed her deeply.
