I started this in November but it just kept going and since so many people are requesting another chapter I'm posting this one! I'm halfway done with the next one but I make no promises when that one will be out, sorry. I'm at a full time job and I'm horrible at time management. I hope to have it out by next month? But I can't promise anything.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Katekyo Hitman Reborn but I do own Renato's family members and Keira along with any OCs mentioned in here!
Keira was excited to have a house, especially one so beautiful. It had an open floor plan with a staircase that curved around the entryway and the living area leading up to the master bedroom, bath, and a smaller guest room and study area. The downstairs floor had three guest rooms along with a big kitchen, a formal dining area, and the aforementioned living area. The entire set up was more than she could have ever asked for.
They had returned on the sixteenth,, a few days after Renato's twenty fourth birthday, and had quickly gotten to work on adding furniture and various other things to the house to make it more homely. Renato was leaving in a few hours for a mission and, while it upset her, she understood why he had to leave.
She had her trust fund back from her parents and they had even given Renato's family a dowry so they were good on money, but Renato insisted upon having more saved up before he retired from the job. He would never fully retire, but there would be no more long missions like this one.
"Are you sure you can't return any sooner than December?" Keira asked once more as she finished a batch of cookies. She had quickly found out that Renato had a weakness for almond cookies. He enjoyed the biscotti but with the normal almond cookies he had no issue with eating them before his espresso.
"The mission is suppose to last three months. I'm sure I can knock it down by half. That would put the mission ending at the beginning of December. I could try to finish it sooner but I don't want to take that risk. I want to come back to you unharmed." Renato said, walking around the island to pull her into a kiss. "As soon as the mission is over, I'll come straight home."
Keira sighed and laid her head on his chest, "I know you will. Just stay safe, please."
Renato tilted her head up and kissed her again, this one was slow and filled with promises. "I will stay safe, I promise you this."
Keira looked up at him, "Make love to me?"
Renato pulled her in tighter, "Of course, cuore mia."

Keira woke up the next morning in an empty bed. She knew that Renato hated goodbyes so she understood why he had let her sleep but she couldn't help but wish that he had woken her up to kiss her one last time. She sighed and got out of bed, grabbing her things for the day.
She still had a job to go to. Her portkey would still take her to Marsala so she could continue working at the café but she knew that she couldn't do that for very long. It was only a matter of time before she would have to get a job in Positano instead.
She would have to give her two weeks to Robert today. He wasn't in very often but he was suppose to be there today. It would be easier to tell him than telling Richard since he wasn't around as often. Maybe he could put in a good word for her at a café in Positano.
With a sigh, she grabbed her portkey and whispered the new word for it, "Marsala."
It wasn't very creative, but then again, she did have Remus change it for her. It got her back to her old apartment and that's what was important. The lease on it would be up in just under two weeks so she would have to inform the owner that she would be leaving and say her goodbyes to the others in the complex who she had become friends with.
"I'm not going to think about that right now." Keira said, shaking her head in the empty room, "I have a couple of weeks to figure it out, I don't have to do it all at once."
With that in mind she left the apartment and quickly headed to the café.

"Keira! You're back!" Amelia said as Keira walked into the café.
"Hi Amelia." Keira said, slightly subdued, "Is Robert in?"
Amelia frowned, "He's in the back office, why?"
"I need to talk with him real quick, I'll be back in a moment." Keira said, walking past Amelia into the back.
Richard stepped out of the kitchen area and looked around, "Is Keira back? I thought I heard her."
"She's back there talking to Robert." Amelia said, frowning once more, "She didn't say what about."
Keira stepped back out, Robert right beside her, "I'm really sorry, Robert."
"Nothing you can do. I'll contact a few people I know that way and see about getting you in there. You've been a great worker here so I doubt it'll be an issue." Robert explained, running a hand through his salt-and-pepper hair. "I'll put a flyer out. Hopefully we'll get some people asking before you leave so you can train them a little."
"What's goin on?" Sol asked as he walked in the door, seeing everyone gathered in the small area behind the counter.
"Keira just gave me her two weeks." Robert said, causing the others to gasp.
"What! Why?" Amelia asked, looking over at Keira, "You're a great worker! Why are you quitting?"
"Renato's parents and mine got together and bought us a house. Oh, it's so beautiful, I wish I had some photos of it. The downside is that it's all the way in Positano. I just can't afford to work here while living there. The lease on my apartment is up in about two weeks anyways." Keira said, looking at the floor, "I'm going to miss you guys though. And I will definitely come and visit."
Amelia came over and hugged her tight, "Keep in touch please."
"I'm not leaving just yet." Keira said, laughing. "I'll still be here for another two weeks."
"Then we are going to hang out every single second that we can." Amelia said, "Starting tonight. We're going out to eat." She looked over at the others, "You guys are invited as well."
Robert shook his head, "I have too much stuff to do and a wife to get home to. She has a big dinner planned tonight and I can't miss it."
Richard nodded, "I'm tied up tonight as well. It's my daughter's birthday."
Sol grinned, "I'm game!"
Amelia nodded, "Alright, then we'll meet outside the café tonight after work and figure out a place to go."
Keira smiled, "That sounds like a plan."

It was near the end of November when Keira woke up feeling nauseous for the sixth day in a row. Normally she never had to deal with being sick since there was usually a potion to take care of it for her, but with her no longer having any magic and the lack of potion supplies in the house, she had to deal with it.
"Topolina! Are you still in bed?"
Keira sighed when she heard Valentina calling up to her. She wasn't in the mood to deal with Valentina. She loved her but this was the ninth time she had come over in three days. She knew that it was just to make sure she was doing alright and making sure that she would have enough food for when Renato got home because god forbid she not be able to feed her own husband.
"Topolina, what are you doing still in bed, are you sick?" Valentina asked, coming over to the edge of the bed to place her hand across Keira's forehead. "You don't feel warm. What is wrong topolina?"
"I'm fine, it's just a little nausea, it'll go away here in a little bit." Keira said, trying to roll away from Valentina to go back to sleep.
"We should take you to the doctor." Valentina said. "There is a good doctor in Sorrento that would be best. Come, get dressed, I'll call a cab."
As Valentina left the room Keira groaned into her pillow. This was not her ideal way to spend a Thursday. Even with Robert's help she hadn't managed to find a job in Positano yet. Without a job, she hadn't had much of a reason to leave the house other than going down to the beach or going to a few of the little café's for a snack when she didn't feel like cooking.
Keira pushed herself up and had to run to the bathroom as her stomach flopped and the nausea increased.

Valentina pulled the phone away from her ear for a moment, hearing the sounds of Keira vomiting, "Passerotto, you should come home soon. Your wife needs you."
Renato sighed on the other side of the phone. He was almost done with the mission. He only had two more hits left to do before he could start the cover up. The Estraneo famiglia was getting too close to members of the Vongola and Cavallone famiglia. He was getting paid double what he normally would from both famiglia's just to kill the ones who were getting a little too eager. "I'm trying, but I still have two hits left and I can't leave a mission unfinished. Please take care of her for just a little while longer."
"I'm taking her to the doctor in Sorrento for a check up. We'll be leaving shortly. I'll call you with an update." Valentina said as she heard Keira's footsteps heading towards the staircase, "Stay safe."
"Will do."
XXXXX
Keira came down the stairs and sighed, "I'm fine Valentina, I swear."
"Nonsense, I heard you throwing up upstairs. We are going to the doctor and that's final topolina. Now, grab a jacket, it's chilly outside. I don't want you getting sicker." Valentina said, grabbing her own coat from the rack by the door.
There was a honk outside and they both hurried to get their jackets on.
"You can rest on the way to the doctor's office. I know you're tired." Valentina said, giving the taxi driver the address to the doctor's office.
Keira sighed and leaned her head against the cab door, "How do you know I'm so tired?"
"It's the first time Renato has been away for so long since you got married. You seem to sleep better when he's around. It's a by product of your bonding. Everything is calmer when he's around. Don't worry. It is normal." Valentina said, patting Keira's leg.
Keira nodded, "As long as he comes home soon I can deal with it..."
XXXXX
The drive to Sorrento wasn't horrible. It had only taken just over forty minutes to get there and Keira had slept nearly the entire ride. Waking her up took a bit of effort and she didn't really wake up until they entered the doctor's office.
"Dios mio." Valentina said as she felt the mist flames and sky flames harmonize near instantly.
Keira blinked as she felt the change but she wasn't sure what had happened as she looked over at the man. He was just a few inches taller than her five foot six, probably around five eight or so, he had dark brown hair with warm brown eyes. He was young, probably no older than fifteen.
"Who are you?" The man asked, looking at Keira warily.
"Keira, who are you and why are you in here?" She looked over towards Valentina, "I thought you said we were going to be meeting a doctor?"
"Hey! I'm the doctor here!" The man said, "My name's Shamal."
"How can you be the doctor? You're like fifteen!" Keira said, glaring at him.
"I'm sixteen, thank you very much, and I'm the doctor because I'm qualified for it! It's not my fault you saw through my flames!"
Valentina sighed, "Topolina, let him examine you. He won't do anything to hurt you."
"How do you know that?" Keira asked, feeling uncertain. She had the feeling that she should trust the man but there was something off putting about him.
"Did you not feel the harmonization? It was strong enough that I felt it. He is your mist guardian." Valentina explained, looking over at Shamal, "He will not harm you."
Shamal blinked, "Is that what that was?"
"Of course it was. Dios mio, children these days. Back in my day someone would know instantly when they had harmonized." Valentina said, "Now, do the examination while I step out to make a call at the nurses station."
As she left the room Keira and Shamal looked at each other. "You're not going to do anything perverted are you?"
Shamal rolled his eyes, "With that woman so close? No way in hell. Now, what are your symptoms?"
"It's nothing. It's just a little nausea in the mornings." Keira said.
"That's not nothing." Shamal took a chart out and started filling it out, "Name?"
"Keira Dorea Angelo."
"Age?"
"19."
"Weight."
"126 pounds."
"Allergies?"
"None that I know of."
"Last menstrual cycle?"
"...October 11th was the end of my last one."
"...So you're late and you're nauseous..."
"...Apparently."
"Do you want a pregnancy test?"
"Yes please."
Keira walked into the adjoining bathroom and walked out about five minutes later with a pale face. "I'm pregnant?"
Shamal looked at the test, "Apparently you are. With when your last cycle was I'd assume you conceived around the twenty sixth to the twenty eighth of October which mean's you're around six weeks pregnant. It would be best to get you started on some prenatal vitamins and talk about your diet. It's best to keep yourself healthy during your pregnancy to help prevent postpartum depression. I'd prefer it if you would come for a check up every two weeks to be on the safe side. If we can catch the start of the depression early that would be best but there's nothing that would suggest that you would even become depressed after the pregnancy. It would be best if you brought the father in with you on the exams so that he will know what to keep an eye out for."
Keira just stared at the test as he continued spouting things off. It took her a few moments to realize that he had stopped talking. She looked up at him, "Would you move in with me and my husband? It would be better to have my mist guardian near me anyways. I don't have very many guardians and with me being pregnant I can't protect myself as well and my husband already worries about me enough as it is, if he finds out that I'm pregnant while he's out on a mission he could end up getting killed and I don't want him to die I don't know what I'd do if he died and I don't want my baby to grow up without a father, I don't even know how I'd raise a baby by myself!"
Shamal's eyes widened and he quickly grabbed a brown paper bag and handed it over to her, "Come on, you need to breathe normally! Now's not a time for panicking!"
Keira's breathing wasn't calming though and Shamal started to panic, "Alright! I'll move in, just calm down! We don't need you to have a miscarriage!"
Keira gasped and her breathing picked up and Shamal cursed before he summoned one of his mosquitoes with a harmless tranquilizer in it to knock her out for a few moments.
After she was out Shamal sighed in relief before he heard the door knob turn and he cursed.

Valentina went over to the nurses station, "Could I borrow a phone for a moment?"
One of the nurses looked up at her, "Of course ma'am, but please, no long calls."
Valentina nodded and dialed Renato's phone. He had a specially made Vongola phone that he took on his missions with him. The number and phone changed for each mission but he always gave her the number just in case.
"Chaos."
"Renato, we're at the doctor's office. I thought I should inform you that Keira has found another guardian. She also seems fine so there's no need to rush."
"Another guardian? Which type?"
"Mist."
"Of course, couldn't have stumbled upon a rain, of course it has to be a mist. Personality?"
"He seems nice enough, if not a bit of a womanizer. Young though."
"A womanizer and you left Keira with him?!"
"Renato." Valentina said, her voice hard, "I am no idiota. Now finish your mission and hurry home."
"… Yes mamma."
Valentina hung up the phone and handed it back to the nurse, "Grazie, cara."
The nurse smiled at her and waved her off, another phone pressed against her ear.
Valentina headed back towards the room. It had been about ten minutes since she had left. She made it back to the room and turned the knob.
XXXXX
Shamal watched as the door opened up and quickly moved to the other side of the room to hide the pregnancy test and his clipboard and write out a prescription for the nausea.
When Valentina finally stepped into the room Shamal sent a silent prayer to God that he wouldn't be murdered today.
"What happened? Why is Keira unconscious?"
Shamal looked over at Valentina and immediately felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead. She had a calm air around her that spoke louder than any yelling he had ever received. "She was having a minor anxiety attack and with how her breathing patterns were I thought it best to give her a mild tranquilizer. She should wake up here in a few minutes. I've never had it last over ten minutes in a flame users body."
Valentina looked Keira over and after determining that she was unmolested she nodded, "Good. There is no need for her to panic. Would it be possible to get a mild sleeping pill for her? She is recently married and her husband is not due back until early December and she hasn't been sleeping well."
"No need, she asked me to move in as her live in doctor as well as a guardian. She mentioned that she doesn't have very many guardians."
"She has one other."
Shamal's eyes widened, "With a sky flame with such a high purity she only has one other guardian? Where has she been living? Under a rock? There's no possible way that she could have been hidden from other flame users, let alone other mafia famiglie."
"She is hidden from those she does not want to be seen by. There's only one other who has been able to see her flame that wasn't bound to her and that was another sky who sought to destroy her flame, however unintentionally." Valentina said.
Shamal frowned before looking back at Keira, "I'll pack my bags. I don't have a lot to bring but I hope you don't mind."
"I just hope that my son won't mind."
"Your son?"
"Her husband."
"Oh."
XXXXX
Valentina still didn't know about the pregnancy three days later.
It was the beginning of December and Renato had finally given them a date when he would officially be back.
"December 8th cuore mio, only one week more till I'll be home." Renato said into the phone from where he was leaning against the wall in a dark alley. He had finished his last hit and now just had to do a bit of clean up and report to Timoteo and Marcelo. If he could finish that quickly then he could get home to see Keira sooner. "I'll try to hurry. There's nothing that can kill me hurrying the rest up."
Keira sighed on the other end of the phone, "I wish you were home already, vita mia, I miss you."
Renato sighed and looked towards the sky, "I know Dolcezza, I miss you as well. I'll hurry home to you. Fino a quando la mia anima non esiste più, te amo."
Keira felt her eyes start to water, "Te amo."
As Renato's voice cut off Keira felt the first of the tears start to fall down her face.

Shamal wasn't use to living in a house with another person in it yet. He wasn't use to hearing someone up and moving before he got out of bed and he sure as hell wasn't use to hearing someone cry themselves to sleep. Especially when that someone was a person he was dedicating his life to protecting as a friend, a brother, and as a protector.
He still had no clue who Keira's husband was but from what he could tell so far, he didn't like him nor did he approve of him. There was no reason to go off and leave a young lady in a house by herself, especially one so recently married. As far as Shamal was concerned, her husband was an asshole and her other guardian was a dick.
With a sigh he drug himself out of bed and up the stairs. It was the second time today that he had to comfort her and he didn't like it. He didn't like seeing his sky in tears, especially when it had to do with her husband.
Hell, he didn't like seeing women cry at all. He only liked to see them cry tears of ecstasy not sorrow. With his sky married and pregnant with that assholes child he wasn't willing to try turning the tears into anything else. All he was willing to do was be a steady rock for her while she sobbed into his shoulder.
When her husband made it home, he was going to punch him in the gut.
XXXXXX
Renato glared at Timoteo and Marcelo. They were discussing things that had nothing to do with him, all it was doing was prolonging his stay in the Vongola mansion. He hated it. They acted like he had nothing else to do, like he had no one to go home to. It's not like he didn't just finish a three month long mission in under six weeks.
"Are we done here." Renato said, not able to control his anger anymore as he let a bit of his irritation slip past in his voice.
Timoteo and Marcelo stopped talking and looked back at Renato, as if surprised that he was still there.
"Yes, thank you for clearing that mess up. It's nice that Massimo, Federico, Enrico, and Dino are all going to be safe now." Timoteo said, "We will have the money transferred to your bank account like normal. Three hundred thousand is the agreed upon amount."
"That's correct." Renato said.
"Then it shall be done. Thank you for finishing the mission quickly and efficiently Reborn."
"As if we expected any less with the World's Greatest Hitman!" Marcelo said, smiling at Renato who just looked at him icily.
"If we are done here, I'm needed elsewhere. If anything comes up, don't contact me until January. I will be busy until then." Renato said as he stood up and shook their hands before leaving.
Marcelo looked over at Timoteo, "I dare say he's rightfully pissed."
"Of course he is. Isn't he always?" Timoteo said, chuckling.

Renato appeared outside of the house with his luggage in hand. It had been a tiring time, being away from Keira. Occasionally he would bring her with him on missions as Leon, or even bring her to his meetings like that, but this one had been too dangerous. He would have been distracted and he couldn't afford that.
He walked towards the door and used his flames to unlock it, a useful thing that James had placed on the house, and opened the door. It was silent, something he wasn't use to.
Usually he would hear Keira humming as she stood in the kitchen making something or her singing softly to herself as she worked in the garden. Occasionally he would see her listening to the radio as she polished his guns, something he was proud that she had caught onto so quickly. They hadn't had time to set up a shooting range yet to keep her on her toes but that would soon be fixed.
He set his luggage by the door and stepped further into the house. As he rounded the corner into the living room he saw Keira asleep on the couch, a blanket wrapped around her. He made to walk over to her when he heard something from the kitchen.
He was instantly on edge and had one of his guns in hand. Quietly, he made his way around the edge of the room towards the kitchen, only to see a young man with dark brown hair standing over a pot on the stove muttering to himself.
"What the fuck is coriander? Why would you even use this shit? Smells like shit too. This damn soup better be good or I'm gonna be pissed."
"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" Renato said as he stepped fully into the kitchen, eyes and gun trained on the person.
The man spun around, yelping as hand came into contact with the hot stove. "Fuck! Where the hell did you come from?!"
"You didn't answer my question." Renato said, cocking his gun.
"My name's Shamal! Don't shoot me!" The man, Shamal, said, holding his hands up.
"Ren?" A soft voice echoed from the living area.
Renato glanced over his shoulder to see Keira sitting up on the couch, rubbing her eyes. She was wearing a pair of sweats and one of his button down shirts that was much too big for her and covered her hands. "Cuore mio, I'm home."
Keira blinked a few times before registering that he was actually there. As soon as she did though, she was running towards him. He quickly turned as she threw her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest. "You're home..."
Renato uncocked his gun and ran his fingers through Keira's hair, enjoying the soft hum of appreciation he received from that. "I'm sorry that it took so long for me to return, cuore mio. I finished the mission as quickly as possible but the report afterwards took forever. I swear those two love wasting my time."
Keira nuzzled Renato's chest, "I don't care, all that's important is that you're home."
"Uh, not to ruin the touching moment and all but can someone tell me what the hell is going on?" Shamal asked.
"I'd like to know that as well." Renato said, glaring at Shamal. "I still don't know what you're doing in my house."
"I'm her mist guardian. And her doctor." Shamal said, glaring at Renato.
Renato tensed, "Doctor?" He looked down at Keira, "You are sick? Mamma told me that you were fine, just having trouble sleeping."
Keira smiled up at him and grabbed his free hand, bringing it down to rest on her lower stomach where there was now a slight bulge that wasn't there a few weeks ago. "I'm fine, Renato, just pregnant."
Renato froze, his eyes going wide, "You're pregnant?"
Keira smiled widely, "Yes, you're going to be a father!"
Renato slowly started to smile, "We're having a baby."
"Yes." Keira said, laughing.
Renato grabbed her face and pulled her into a deep kiss, one that left her breathless. "I'm going to be a father!"
Shamal rolled his eyes and turned back to the soup. He could deal with those two later. If he burned this soup Valentina was going to murder him.
XXXXX
"So, you're Keira's mist. Never thought that the great Trident Shamal would be a mist." Renato said, relaxing into the barstool he was sitting on as he watched Shamal clean the dishes from dinner. "After nearly getting us both killed I didn't think I'd ever see you again."
"What?" Shamal said, frowning as he looked over at Renato.
"The mission a couple of months back where your inexperience nearly got you killed. First time I ever have a partner on a mission and you almost get yourself killed."
"Wait, how do you-" Shamal's eyes widened, "Holy shit, Reborn?"
"Took you long enough to realize."
"But- What- I-" Shamal shook his head, "How the hell are you even here? Aren't you suppose to be on like a huge mission or something?! I thought that you were always working or something. People talk about the great Reborn so much that I just figured that you never stopped working. Why the hell are you here?"
"…How do you possibly have a doctorate. Are you not supposed to be smart to be a doctor?" Renato said, "Obviously I am here because I am planning on spending time with my wife."
"Your wife." Shamal looked like he was close to fainting and as amusing as it all was, Renato didn't want to pick him up off the ground.
"Yes, my wife. Your – our – sky." Renato said, glaring at Shamal.
Shamal felt sweat start building up on his forehead as Renato glared at him, "Look, uh, I don't have an interest in her. She's already explained stuff and she's smitten with you. So, yeah, no interest at all. Though if you leave and make her cry again I'm going to have to punch you."
Renato narrowed his eyes at Shamal, "She was crying?"
"Yeah, I've only been here for about ten days and she's cried at least twice each day. It was a pain. I'm not good with crying women, and seeing our sky crying was the worst feeling possible. It's probably partly because of her hormones being weird with the pregnancy and everything but it could also be worry about you. Why she would worry about you, who knows. Does she not know that you're the world's greatest hitman?"
"She knows but she is also the one who found me with a bullet in my shoulder and bleeding to death practically at her front door. For her, being the world's greatest hitman means nothing when, to her, I'm only her husband." Renato said. He stood up and pushed his chair in, "I'll talk with Keira tomorrow. Good night, Shamal."
XX– March 30th, 1980 –XX
Keira frowned as she pulled her dress on. Her stretchy sundresses were the only thing she owned that still fit her. She did have some maternity clothing but it wasn't something that she wanted to wear to her birthday party.
They were having the party at the Potter Manor, mainly for the protection provided by the wards. While there were wards installed around their home in Positano, they weren't nearly enough for Renato to feel comfortable with more than a few people being there.
During the past few months, Death Eaters had been spotted in Venice and Rome. Renato had run into a few and had quickly taken care of them but that had just made his paranoia worse. After learning the news, he hadn't left Keira's side for longer than a week.
Keira blamed Shamal for that. It was a common thing for women to feel depressed either during or after the pregnancy and, while she loved Renato, her husband could be a bit overbearing when he was worried. It had become a sort of joke between her and Shamal when he wasn't around.
"Amore?" Keira looked over her shoulder to see Renato standing in the doorway, "It's almost time to head out. Are you ready?"
Keira looked back at the mirror. Her dress did little to hide the baby bump that she was sporting though it went down to her knees. Her flats looked a little funny since her ankles were swollen a bit and she was most likely going to steal Renato's suit jacket after a bit with the random chills she felt every so often.
"I suppose." She pouted.
"Don't worry, amore, things will go fine." Renato said, wrapping his arms around her from behind. "If anything I should be the one worrying. Sirius and James can be overprotective when it comes to you."
Keira laughed, "They're not the only ones who are overprotective."
Renato raised a brow, "I don't know what you're talking about." He pulled away, "We should head downstairs. I attempted to explain the floo network to Shamal but he still didn't seem to trust it. I wouldn't be surprised if he blew something up from messing with it and I'd rather not have the Goblin's coming back to fix it."
"You tried explaining it to Shamal? Do you even understand the floo network?" Keira said, smiling as she followed Renato downstairs.
"I did pick up a few books while we were in Diagon two months ago. I may not have paid attention to my mother explaining magic or my brother learning it but I'm not going to ignore the fact that our child is likely to be born with magic." Renato explained, "And besides, the floo network seems safer than aparating or portkey, especially with you pregnant. If there was any chance that you could be injured or the baby could be injured from the floo then we would be on a plane to London."
"We would still have to use the floo to get to the Manor you know. We couldn't just drive to the front door." Keira said as they stepped into the living area.
"I'm sure I could find a way." Renato said as he walked over to the fireplace.
Keira rolled her eyes and looked over at Shamal who was standing off to the side, eying the fireplace with distrust. "Are you sure that you want to come with us? You don't have to if you don't want to."
"I'm not going to let you go to an unfamiliar place with only Renato as back up." Shamal said, "Besides, I'm your doctor. You're nearing your third trimester and you're barely in the good area if you go into premature labor. I'm going with you or you're not going."
"I swear, you two are as overprotective as James and Sirius." Keira said, stepping forward to grab a handful of floo powder. She stepped into the fireplace and glared at the two men as they moved to help her. "I can do this on my own, thank you! Potter Manor!"
Shamal looked over at Renato as Keira disappeared in green flames, "I think she's upset."
Renato looked at Shamal and pinched the bridge of his nose, "You don't say, I didn't notice."
"You know, you're an ass."
"I could say the same to you."
