Light was starting to show through the window when the only occupants in the hospital wing awoke.

Hermione was first to open her eyes. She looked around her, she felt Severus shift next to her."Severus?"she said softly patting his shoulder. He mumbled something unintelligible and shifted to his side wrapping his arm around her stomach lightly, he seemed to sink into sleep again. She remembered yesterday's events with a shiver.She felt the tears well up in her eyes again. She felt Severus tighten his arm around her as if sensing her distress and she smiled through her tears. Who would have thought under his facade was the heart of a gentleman, well she certainly knew now and she found her self having feelings that were leaving her with a guilty conscience, she sighed. As if she needed any more complications in her life. She shifted in his arms trying to rouse him from sleep but he slept on.
She looked at him with narrowed eyes, 'Can anyone truly sleep that deeply?' she leaned her face down near his ear and said in a loud firm voice "Severus Snape get up this instant!" in a great imitation of Madam Pomfrey.

Severus, startled let go of her and became tangled in the covers. He struggled a bit trying to regain his balance and yet still found himself falling backwards on the floor. Severus groaned loudly lying flat on the floor. After a moment he registered her laughter, he looked towards the bed and saw tears falling down her face and scowled, honestly he knew tears of laughter were far better than her distressful ones from yesterday but did they have to be at the expense of his dignity.

Hermione glanced his way and saw that he was glaring at her, that sent her into new peels of laughter. finally she calmed down and asked if he was alright. Severus just growled in response.
She smiled and he raised an eyebrow, he straightened himself out and sat on the chair next to the bed.

"Was that really necessary Hermione?"

"Yes it was, I found it was the only way you would bloody wake up! Seriously Severus you sleep like a rock." she sat up and swung her legs off the bed.

"What do you think you're doing? Get back in bed before you do yourself harm?" He reached out to put her back in bed when Madam Pomfrey walked in.

"Severus Snape honestly the child needs rest where do you think you are taking her!?!"

"I was taking her no where, actually I was trying to stop her" he ground out.

"Really madam Pomfrey I'm fine." Hermione smiled pleadingly.

Madam Pomfrey pursed her lips."I'll need to consult the headmaster before you can leave here Miss Granger, it may not be safe for you or the baby just yet."

Hermione fell back on the bed deflated. she just wanted out of this stuffy room. She looked at Severus who was looking at her with a concerned expression. "What?" she snapped.

"Mind your tone Miss Granger."he said his face going blank.

"Oh honestly! I am not your student anymore!"

"Well then kindly act like the adult you are."

"That's rich coming from you! Mr broody bat of the dungeons!" she yelled, and she instantly regretted her harsh words.

She saw his face darken even more. devoid of any expression he turned and left the hospital wing in a swish of robes."Dammit!" She cursed herself for being so stupid, she had hurt his feelings and she knew it.He might never admit it but she knew he had a heart. She had been so mad at that moment of everyone trying to take care of her, when all she wanted was to be left alone. "Got what you wanted now, didn't you Hermione?" and strangely she felt worse without his presence there. He had been such a great comfort to her and she drove him away. At that moment she decided to go apologize, screw the consequences, she was fine. All she'd have to deal with later is madam pomfrey's fretting.

She swung her legs over the side of the bed, she threw on her slippers and robe and left the hospital wing behind. the halls were colder than she had remembered but she trudged on. Nobody was in the halls at this time of the morning so her trek there was uneventful. She finally reached his office door and knocked loudly. Not willing to be ignored, she waited a few moments before calling out to him.

"Severus open up please!" a moment later she heard hurried steps and the door was opened swiftly.

She got barely a glimpse of his angry face before two strong arms picked her up bridal style and carried her inside. He took her through the open door leading to his rooms and sat with her on his couch

"Severus what on earth put me down!" she looked up at him to see his face livid.

"What the bloody hell were you thinking? walking all the way down here like that?!"

"I just wanted to apologize for what I said I'm perfectly fine, I didn't mean what I said back there, I just wanted..she took a deep breath "I think at the moment I wanted to be left alone, but then I realized you're the only person I didn't want to leave." she sobbed out all this into his shirt, she had seen his expression when he saw her and knew he must hate her now.

"Shush you don't have to apologize, I figured you realized you'd rather be with your friends than the broody greasy haired bat of the dungeons and I thought I'd give you some space to sort things out." he sighed into her hair letting his facade go for a moment.

"Oh Severus there's no one I'd rather be with right now than you. You've been a great friend. He was surprised to find himself hoping he could be so much more. At this moment he knew she had a lot to deal with but later on,did he dare hope? 'No Severus you cannot think that way! she just lost her fiance you idiot!' He was surprised when she slapped his arm until he let her down gently.

"You do understand I'm not a nice person?" he said gruffly trying to look menacing.

She smoothed her hand on the side of his face and smiled. "Oh? but you are kind to me."

He opened his mouth to argue, but closed it when he found no argument. He was nice to her no matter how hard he tried, she could get under his skin.

"Oh and Severus?"she said in a too cheerful voice.

"Yes Hermione?"he mumbled into her hair

"The greasy hair is kinda sexy." She said into his shirt hugging him tighter.

He pulled back to look at her smiling face and let out a bark of laughter
