Chapter 20
Severus woke up 45 minutes later and looked at the woman sleeping in his arms peacefully. He felt blessed to still have her after all he did to alienate her. He wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. He wanted to see mini him and her running around the house.
"My love," Severus said while caressing her hair "we have to prepare dinner for our little one" he continued. When he heard Hermione's light moan, he tried to get out of bed. But as soon as he had stood up, he fell back on the bed. His legs not supporting his own weight.
"Darling, are you alright" Hermione asked getting out of the bed and going to Severus' side "do you need something. I'll go get it. Just…"
"I wanted to go downstairs and prepare a meal for the both of you, but… my legs failed me." Severus said softly holding slightly onto her. "Could you just fetch my bathrobe and help me get out of bed?"
"Yeah no problem" Hermione said walking away from him. Severus mouth went dry at the sight of her naked body.
She returned to the bedroom with a clean bathrobe in her hand and one already around her and helped Severus out of bed before putting the bathrobe on him and tying it for him. She then held him by the arm and took a few steps with him, when they reached the stairs, she held him tighter and he held onto the dark wood guard-rail.
As they reached the kitchen, Severus kissed Hermione on the lips. He then told her to go and begin preparing the meal and that he would be right back. He opened the door to the library and pulled a book out of it. It was a copy of Sense and Sensibility, his favorite Muggle book.
The book was a recent reedition and when Severus opened it, it was hollow. He took out a small box out of the book before closing it and placing the book back on the shelf. Just before leaving the office he opened the box and closed it before placing it inside his pocket. He then joined Hermione to the kitchen.
The pots were already cooking the food and Hermione was sitting at the island counter a glass of pumpkin juice in her hand. When she saw him coming back towards her, a smile appeared on her face. She went towards him and kissed him passionately. As she pulled back, Severus took her hands into his own and looked inside her eyes
"My dear, lovely, wonderful Hermione." Severus said. "The moment I felt your lips on mine for the very first time will be stuck to my memory till the end of the days because it was the moment when the course of my life radically changed its direction. You captured my heart at this very moment and you became the only person I cared about. I keep deep inside my heart every minute we shared because since then, my heart is yours and yours only.
When you told me, you were pregnant with our child, I thought that I wasn't ready to be a father, to have a child of my own. But now, I know that I can do anything while you are by my side. I do not know how I managed to live without you by my side every single day since this first kiss. Without your support, without your presence, without you by my side I am nothing but the shadow of a man. You understand me as nobody ever did.
You helped me get through the worst moments of my life. You are my inspiration, my motivation, my rock. You know like nobody what is happiness and where it is hidden.
You are the perfect person to be friend, my advisor, my teacher, my travel companion, the mother of my future children, my wife.
I promise to do everything I can to be the husband you deserve. I want to become your happily-ever-after, and I will do my best for your smile to never fade. You are the greatest and most precious gift given to me by this life, so I wish the whole world knew about my infinite and limitless love for you.
I am looking forward to the day when my last name will become ours, and for us to become parents. You are the one I want to be for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer.
Hermione Jean Granger, my love, my life. Will you marry me?" Severus finished.
He knelt and opened a black, green and silver box. Inside it was a finely hand crafted 24k gold ring. It was shaped as two snakes which were coiled together and surrounding a large heart shaped ruby gem bordered with smaller emeralds.
"Yes, I will, of course I will my love." Hermione said
Severus rose to his feet and took the ring from the box. He placed it onto Hermione's trembling left ring finger and kissed her passionately.
"I love you my wonderful wizard" Hermione whispered into the shell of his ear.
"I love you too my perfect little witch" he told her holding her into a tight embrace where their nose touched each other.
They went to the kitchen and took the pans out. Hermione had prepared lamb with vegetables and they both ate a good plate of it. Hermione served herself twice which surprised Severus. How was it that Hermione was already eating this much food? She was only in her second month.
"Hermione, we have to set an appointment for you and the baby. You have been through a lot of stuff and I want to know if our baby is healthy." He said looking at her
"I don't want to go to St Mungo's. I want my pregnancy to be as unmedicalized as possible. I think that I'll ask madam Pomfrey to come. She is the only healer I know. Maybe she will be able to give us the name of a Healer that could follow the pregnancy?" Hermione said.
"Are you sure you want to go this way? We could go to St Mungo's and there you will get the best care they can provide you." Severus asked seriously
"I have never been surer about anything else. I know that I will have to get a check up at least once a month, because of what happened during the early stage of my pregnancy but I want to avoid going to the doctor too often." Hermione said.
"Of course. This pregnancy is already very hard on you. I don't want you to get stressed. However, you have to promise me that if you feel that something is not right you will tell me and will go straight to St Mungo's. Alright?" Severus said seriously
"Of course, my love. Also, we have a wedding to plan!" Hermione changed the subject smiling.
"We do. Would you prefer a Muggle traditional wedding or a wizarding one. We have to perform a binding charm during the ceremony or it will not be valid in the eyes of the wizarding World." Severus said informing her.
"I would like to have a semi-Muggle, semi-wizard wedding. It will be at our image." Hermione replied after a short time
"I think it is a great idea. We could celebrate it here, at Prince's Manor or at Hogwarts. I am sure Minerva would let us." Severus said.
"I don't think Hogwarts will work. As I plan to invite the Wesley's, it will only remind them of Fred's death and many other died there. Prince's manor will be perfect. Also, it's where I nearly lost you and I don't think I can go back for now." Hermione said
"Prince Manor it is then." Severus said. "Now I think that since you are my fiancée, I should give you a little taste of what it will be once you become my wife" he said teasingly as he approached took her hand and led her back upstairs leaving the table where their meals where.
When he reached the bedroom, Hermione gasped. The bed was made and there was a little path made out of red and white rose petals. He began kissing her softly as he undid her bathrobe. When he had untied the fabric belt, he let it drop to the floor. He stepped a little back from her and looked at her as though he was undressing her with his eyes.
Hermione's cheeks flushed to a very light pink that made Severus cock harden slightly. He walked back towards her and resume kissing her. His lips softer than ever, she began feeling moisture dripping from her and onto her thighs. She realized how horny she was. She knew that pregnancy could unbalance one's emotions, but she had no idea that a simple look and kissing session could lead to that amount of pleasure.
It was her turn to take his bathrobe off of him and let it drop to the ground. He was still wearing his boxers and Hermione saw the burgeoning erection tenting the cotton slightly. They made their way to the bed still kissing but this time with more want. He sat on the bed and she placed herself over him straddling him lightly. She placed her hands at the back of his skull careful not to touch his still healing injury and pulled him towards her.
She placed her tongue out of her mouth and began pushing it against his teeth, silently begging him to let her in. When he did so, their tongues collided and they both moaned into each other's mouth. His hands were on her back but were getting lower more and more quickly. When he reached her bum, he began caressing her lightly. She felt herself getting light headed and plundered his mouth even more and her hips writhed above his now very tented boxers. Each time Hermione ground against him, she could feel her clit massaged by the tip. Soon enough, her hands were going down to liberate the appendix from it's fabric prison.
Severus head fell back when he saw her hands going underneath the band of his underwear. Oh, how he wanted to feel his member wrapped inside her. When his boxers had been discarded, his painfully erected penis stood proud begging for Hermione's attention. She kneeled at the foot of the bed and looked at the large pale cock before her before taking placing her hand on the base of it. She moved her hand up and down his length slowly before taking it inside her mouth. She kept an excruciatingly slow movement before she felt Severus hand entangling itself in her messy hair encouraging her to go faster.
"Fucking… Merlin, Hermione. Do you have any idea what it does to me, the sight of you like this?" He asked looking at her.
"I think I might." Hermione responded cheekily
"My god Herms. Stop teasing. I need you." Severus said as he began to lose his mind under Hermione's ministrations.
"What do you want Sev? Tell me what you want." Hermione said letting his cock out of her mouth and looking up at him.
The sight that he had in front of him was glorious. Hermione in all her naked glory kneeling at the foot of the bed, one hand wrapped around his length mimicking the movement her mouth had done seconds earlier, her large brown eyes looking towards him and this mouth that could do so many things curled into a smile that made him want for more.
"You, I want you my lovely witch. Please" he begged his eyes welling up with tears. He knew that he would not be able to last very long and he still wanted to please her.
"All yours" Hermione replied going back up his body and standing in front of him, her hands cupping his face as she kissed him.
He pulled her towards him and they both went to the middle of the bed. He laid her on her back and hovered above her placing lingering kisses on her skin, she squirmed when he reached in between her legs. She was positively dripping, her juices smearing her thighs and dripping onto the linen of the bed. He pulled her knees open and looked into her eyes before placing his tongue right above her clit and teasing it with the tip of it.
"Severus" Hermione gasped as she felt his tongue come in contact with her pleasure center, her body lifting itself off the bed.
He repeated this a few times before going up her body. He kissed her stomach lightly and played for a little while with her navel before going further back up and taking one of her breasts inside his mouth. He licked, bit and nipped at the already hard nipple before paying the same attention to the other one. Going further back up, he looked into her eyes and placed his throbbing member onto her entrance. She bucked her hips and he entered her in one swift movement. She felt as if she was going to explode right at this instant. He pushed into at a mind breaking rhythm. He felt her tighten and placed his thumb over her clit rubbing it at a different pace than he was fucking her. The combinate feeling of his length inside her and his finger on her clit made her come. He came shortly after and fell onto her side his still erect shaft slipping out of her.
They both lifted the covers before going underneath them and Severus spooned Hermione one hand on her now slightly rounded stomach.
"Good night my lovely fiancée. I love you" Severus said
"Good night Sev. I love you too" Hermione replied in a murmur before going to sleep.
It was 9 a.m. when the both of them woke up. They both went inside the bathroom to wash themselves and finished by having another round inside the bathtub. When they got out of the bedroom, it was 10 and they decided to go take their breakfast before calling for Madam Pomfrey. Hermione had agreed to meet with the Mediwitch to have her check onto her once a month.
After receiving Madam Pomfrey's Patronus informing them of the time when she would be coming, they both went to the library and sat in two armchairs. Severus asked Wilky to clean the house before the arrival of the Healer.
They ate their lunch together and 1 hour later heard the sound of the front door's bell.
"Hello Severus, glad to see your feeling a lot better. Where's Hermione?" the Mediwitch asked as she came through the door.
"Just there." Hermione replied as she joined the two of them taking hold of Severus arm smiling at him.
"Well then, is there anywhere I can go to make your examination?" she asked
"Yeah, right upstairs." Hermione said leading the way.
They entered one of the guest bedrooms. It had been refurnished by Wilky, the large queen size bed had been replaced by a smaller one, there also was a desk and a small table. A large armchair was right next to the bed. Hermione laid herself onto the bed while Severus sat inside the armchair. He held onto her hand and looked at her while the other witch was preparing her stuff on a small table.
"So, I can confirm that you are indeed pregnant, about a month in" the witch said after having waved her wand above Hermione's abdomen and seeing a little puff of yellow/orange smoke above her stomach.
"Now, the baby or babies, as I can't tell for sure right now or in okay health. I think that they are in serious lack of vitamins and of magic. I am going to prescribe you some potions for the vitamins. As for the magic, you need to stay as much as you can with Severus for now. Your body is getting weaker and weaker as the baby has only pumped from your reserve. You need to rest to restore your magical reserves. Is it understood Hermione?" the Mediwitch asked.
"Yes perfectly." Hermione replied.
"Now, would you like to see your baby? I am not sure we'll be able to do so but I can try." The Mediwitch asked to both futures parents.
"I would love that Madam Pomfrey." Hermione exclaimed looking at Severus
"No more Madam Pomfrey Hermione. Call me Poppy." She began "Severus would you like to see your child?"
"I would really appreciate, although I am not sure that I can cope fully with everything. Everything is kind of happening in a blur so…" Severus said looking apologetically to Hermione.
"Hey no worries, if you don't feel ready for the moment, I can understand. But if you want to see it tell me." Hermione said pulling his and up to her lips and kissing it lightly.
"I want to see our baby. Go on Poppy" Severus said.
"I am going to conjure up a viewing ball. It will show exactly the womb and the baby. If you don't see anything, don not worry, the baby is there but it's just too small to see." Poppy said before waving her wand one more time above Hermione's abdomen.
A ball appeared and the two parents gasped when they saw it. They could see their baby. Sure, it was small, but it still was their baby. Hermione retained a small gasp while Severus stared at the viewing ball and then at Hermione. A short while after, Poppy made the ball disappear and told Hermione she could put her t-shirt back on. She gave a parchment to Severus with the Potions Hermione needed to take and a wizarding photo of their baby.
They walked back downstairs and accompanied Poppy out.
"If I may, you two form a lovely couple. Congrats on your engagement" the Mediwitch said looking towards Hermione's ringed finger.
"Thanks a lot Poppy, for everything." Hermione said.
They closed the door and Hermione turned to Severus before kissing him on the lips.
"I am craving for a good tea with marmalade on them. Is there anyway for me to be indulged?" Hermione asked
"Why don't we eat a little and then go for a nice little walk in the woods?" Severus asked
"Does that mean that I get my tea with marmalade toasts?" Hermione asked pouting her lips slightly.
"Of course, my love" he answered
"Then why not. But a short walk." She said
They both went into the kitchen laughing.
