A/N: Sorry for not updating sooner. I'm gonna try to make this chapter a bit longer.
Chapter 3: Pregnant?
Hermione woke up early the next morning to the bright sun shining in her eyes. She saw Nick lying next to her and suddenly remembered the events of the previous night. She got up silently so she wouldn't wake him and made her way to the bathroom to shower.
She came out fifteen minutes later to find Nick sitting up awake on her bed.
'D'you wanna go to Diagon Alley today?' she asked
Nick nodded and jumped up into Hermione's lap. She carried him down to the kitchen and put him down onto a chair. She then started making Nick's favourite breakfast, blueberry pancakes.
As she stirred the mixture she thought of when she had first found out she was pregnant with Nick. She had really wanted to get an abortion, but now that she thought about it she was glad she hadn't…
Flashback:
It had been a month since Harry, Ron and Hermione had graduated from Hogwarts. Hermione was training to become a Healer. She'd passed her NEWT's with an 'Outstanding' in every subject and it had been her ambition for quiet some time now. Harry and Ron were obviously training to become aurors, but the idea of becoming an auror had never really appealed to Hermione, she didn't really enjoy putting herself in danger.
It was her dream to grow up and settle down with a family. She'd find the perfect husband and have beautiful children with him. But little did she know that some thing was about to occur that would shatter that dream forever.
Hermione had started training a couple of weeks ago. At this particular time she was making a potion for curing burns. It required very strict instructions and the potion-maker's full attention. But Hermione was finding it hard to concentrate.
Lately she'd been feeling very ill and lost control of her temper over simple things. As she added mashed cow's eyes to her potion a wave of nausea hit her and she had to grab the table for support. The next thing she knew she was running to the bathrooms and vomiting as she made it just in time.
She came out of the bathrooms wiping sweat of her brow. When she came back to her cauldron she found that it had blown up and a fellow healer-in-training, Lisa was cleaning up the mess. As she saw Hermione coming she looked at her with worried eyes.
'Are you ok 'Mione' she asked kindly 'I saw you run to the bathrooms, what happened?'
'Oh nothing I'm fine Lisa, just feeling a bit ill' replied Hermione
'But 'Mione this has been happening for a few days now. Here I'll take you to get checked up.'
Besides all her protests, Hermione ended up going. She was now lying on a hospital bed while a Healer did a few tests on her.
'Really…I'm fine…' said Hermione 'just a bit stressed that's all'
The Healer smiled knowingly in her direction, making Hermione scowl.
'Well Miss Granger, these tests show you're in perfectly good condition-'
'See' Hermione said to Lisa who was standing in the corner, watching.
'-But I don't think you're aware of this but you're pregnant' the Healer continued as though there had been no interruption.
Hermione's brain froze. WHAT did she just say? Pregnant?
'PREGNANT?' she screamed 'I CAN'T BE PREGNANT'
'These results show that you are exactly 1 and a half months pregnant' said the healer
Hot tears poured down Hermione's face as she realised what had just happened. She was pregnant, with Malfoy's kid. How did she know this? Because he was the only one she'd ever slept with, that stupid git she thought. What would she do? She was scared, scared of how her friends would react. Scared of how her parents would react. Scared of what would happed if HE found out…
'Mummy?' called a small voice snapping Hermione out of her thoughts.
'Oh sorry dear, I was just thinking' she said placing a plate of nice hot pancakes in front of her son. She shook her head and began to eat her breakfast. Her mind straying of to the night she had been raped.
