Sorry about making this so short before. I could have just added the end of this to the next chapter, but I thought it fit better on this chapter.
This isn't mine! I just mess with the lives of the Harry Potter Characters.
Hermione opened the door and was again surprised.
Severus usually is up and gone by the time Hermione woke up. He usually eats in the Great Hall with the students he so fondly loves instead of his wife and daughter. But for the past week, everyday Hermione came from her bedroom, he was sitting at the kitchen table reading with a table laden with all of Hermione's favorite breakfast foods. He never said anything, but sat there until she finished eating. Hermione was very confused and she couldn't figure out what Severus was doing.
There were also a couple awkward mornings when Essie woke up early. She was so excited to see her father home in the morning, but Severus didn't know how to act with her. On those mornings he usually made an excuse to leave early. Hermione knew he didn't know how to act with children—she used to be his student, after all.
The 'doting husband' act didn't end there though. He no longer stayed out late. He now took his grading into wherever Hermione and Essie were. Again, he never said anything, and Hermione had no idea what he was playing at.
Hermione shook her head from her thoughts and moved towards the table. Severus only looked up to meet her gaze for a moment before going back to his reading. She sat down, but didn't move to take any food. After a long moment of silence Severus lowered his paper and studied his wife. Just as he opened his mouth to say something she quickly said, "I'm pregnant."
Severus facial expression froze as he worked to comprehend what she said. His first thought was Draco, but then he remembered what he saw in her memory. It couldn't have been Draco.
"Severus? Did you hear me?" Hermione asked softly. You idiot! she screamed in her head. Why did you tell him about the baby? So what if he's been acting weird lately, that should be more of a reason not to tell him. He doesn't care about you or Essie. Telling him about another child isn't going to make him suddenly shout for joy. He doesn't care—
"How far along are you?" he asked softly.
Hermione stared at him for a moment and it was only after he repeated the question she realized she hadn't answered him. "Three weeks."
Severus nodded slowly but remained silent. Hermione waited quietly for him to take it all in but she jumped in her seat when he stood quickly. "I have class," he said simply and strode from the room.
Hermione's jaw dropped. "That... insufferable git!" She banished the food on the table with a flick of the wand and began cleaning around the room as angry thoughts went through her head. Yeah, he's changing! What was I thinking he could change? He'll always be the stupid greasy dungeon bat of Hogwarts. She jolted from her thoughts as Essie Ann came bouncing into the room holding Kitten Draco.
"Daddy—" She stopped her happy skip when she saw only her mother. "Mummy, where's Daddy?"
"He had class, sweetie." Hermione worked her brain for something to do. "But I have an idea. Go get ready and we're going to see Uncle Draco.
Hope all is well:)
