Thanks to ElphieThroppDG28 for reviewing. Only one more chapter after this!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter


Hannah Longbottom lay on her bed at the Leaky Cauldron looking down at her very large stomach. She was 7 months pregnant. Just as she was about to return to her book the door to her bedroom was opened and standing in the doorway was a very dishevelled looking husband.

'It's manic down there tonight' he said referring to the bustling pub 2 flights downstairs
'Oh really? If you want I can come and help?' Hannah offered
'No honestly, you stay here and rest'
'Neville, I'm pregnant, not an invalid'
'I know I just want you and the baby to be perfect. Speaking of babies; how's our little one doing?'
'Restless. I can just tell he's going to be a star Quidditch player'
'How do you know it's going to be a boy?'
'I don't, it just feels right to see him as a boy'
'Well personally, I think we have a little girl in there'

This seemed like the appropriate time to bring up the conversation that had been playing on Hannah's mind since the day she found out she was pregnant. Hannah took a deep breath and began;

'Neville, I've been thinking…'
'Yes…'
'Names. I've been thinking about names.'
'Okay, what about them?'
'I think for a boy he should be called Frank'

Neville gasped, his eyes shining with tears. It was obvious that this meant a lot to him.

'And Alice for a girl…'
'Oh really Hannah? That's brilliant, absolutely fantastic. It means the world to me! But what about Isabelle, for your mum?'
'I've thought about that too. I was never particularly close to my mum, and you never got the chance to be close to your mum, I always feel that you got off worse with your parents, you've always had them alive, but you've never got to know them. If we name her Alice then we'll have the chance to know and understand one Alice Longbottom. And her middle name could always be Isa…'

Hannah's words were cut off by Neville's lips pressing down onto hers. She felt his hot tears fall onto her face as he expressed everything he couldn't say into this one kiss.
