Chapter 26: Engagemnet and Pregnancies, Oh my

It was now two years later. Delaney and Neville had just finished partaking in a very passionate snogging session on their couch in their shared flat. They had been living together since last year. They had really settled into domestic life. Although Neville was only home about three months of the year since he worked at Hogwarts.

"Merlin, I've missed snogging you so much," Neville sighed, playing with his girlfriend's hair.

Delaney smiled up at him and said. "It's a good thing, I'm not a student at Hogwarts I would get in trouble for snogging the super attractive new Herbology apprentice. I would lose thousands of points a day."

"I don't think it's possible to lose that many points but you would earn them in my book from all the snogs I would get," Neville joked, dodging his girlfriend's playful slap.

There was a couple minutes silence.

"I need to ask you something, love," Neville said, nervously.

"What's that, Nev?"

He untangled his arms from his girlfriend, got up, kneeled down on the floor and took out a small box. Delaney gasped and her hand flew up to her mouth covering a huge grin.

"Delaney Isabel Romero, we've been best friends since we were seven so that's thirteen years to be exact. We've been dating for five years. Will you make me the happiest man on the planet and marry me?"

Delaney didn't respond she just tackled Neville to the ground.

"I take it that's a yes," Neville smirked at her playfully.

Delaney nodded grinning as she started kissing Neville again. He gladly returned the kiss and sat up as the kiss deepened. Delaney straddled Neville's lap as he picked her up, her legs tightened automatically around his waist as they began snogging again leaving the engagement ring completely forgotten on the floor. Neville rested his hands under her thighs and leaned her against the wall now kissing her neck as her hands fiddled with his shirt buttons. She eventually discarded it on the floor covering the ring. There was a knock on their door.

"Shouldn't we get that, Nev?"

Neville took a minute from kissing his fiancée's neck and said. "We will if they don't get the hint that we're busy."

"Okay, then."

Neville turned back to her neck leaving multiple love bites.

"Well, I can't say I'm scarred for life at catching my two best friends snogging each other's brains out and practically in the middle of foreplay seeing as my male best friend is shirtless and has a very obvious boner and I can see from here that my female best friend has multiple love bites on her neck," Zach smirked at them.

Neville and Delaney turned to their best friend not even ashamed about being caught in this position by him since this isn't the first time.

"So, what's up?" Neville asked pulling away from his fiancée reluctantly and unwrapping her legs from his waist.

"I have something to tell you," he said.

Neville nodded and said. "We have something to tell you too. Oh, speaking of that what happened to the ring?"

Delaney giggled and said. "It's under your shirt, Nev. We didn't seem to pay attention to it once we started snogging again."

Neville picked up his shirt and there was the ring. He picked up the ring box, took out the ring and slipped it on her finger.

"So, you two are engaged?"

"Yes,"

Zach smiled and said. "Congratulations."

"Thank you," Neville said, sitting down and pulling Delaney down into his lap still shirtless.

"So, what's your news?" Delaney asked cuddling into Neville.

Zach said. "Susan is pregnant with my baby."

"I suppose it's father like son," Delaney laughed.

Zach nodded.

"Have you told your dad, step mum, Dora or Harry?"

Zach shook his head and said. "No, I just found out right now myself."

"If you're thinking of leaving her and the baby, you better think twice," Delaney threatened.

"Don't worry."

It was a few days later Zach, Susan, Neville and Delaney were over Grimmauld Place. Harry was over with Hermione while Dora was over with her son Teddy and Aunt Andromeda. Zach tapped on his glass.

"What is it, son?" Sirius asked.

Susan stood up next to her long-term boyfriend.

"Susan and I are having a baby, you're going to be a grandfather," Zach smiled.

"Merlin, I'm old," Sirius chuckled running his hand through his still long greying black hair.

"Welcome to the club of being a grandparent," Andromeda smirked.

"Delaney and Neville have some news as well," Zach said.

Everyone turned to the couple and at the sudden attention they started to blush.

"Don't tell me, Alice and Frank are going to be grandparents too?"

Before Neville could respond Zach remarked. "Not quite, but I'm guessing if I didn't walk in on them on a few days ago. I'm sure that's where it would've ended up."

The couple in question blushed.

"I did that enough when James and Lily were alive."

That caused Harry to blush but he said. "And Ron's interrupted many of our snogging sessions as well. I guess it's the best friend's job."

"Or it's that neither one can keep your hands off each other."

"This is coming from the guy who knocked up his girlfriend," Harry teased.

"I suppose so."

The day continued. Neville and Delaney came back home. The couple was in bed spooning.

"I know we've discussed that we wanted to wait for marriage but I really want you to make love to me sooner than that," Delaney sighed.

"You sure?" Neville asked.

"I'm completely sure, Nev,"

Neville nodded and smirked. "Do you have a contraceptive charm, I don't want you to end up knocked up at our wedding."

"Charms was my best subject if you remember."

Neville began peppering her neck with kisses and said in between kisses. "My little Charms prodigy."

"Just like you're a Herbology prodigy, Nev."

He pulled away from her neck a few minutes later. The couple fell asleep.

It was a few days later, Delaney was reading while Neville was in the garden when the doorbell rang. She answered it to face a very pregnant Kennedy.

"Hey Ken," she greeted her childhood friend.

She didn't reply she just groaned.

"Hard day with baby Jordan?" she asked

Kennedy nodded, invited herself in and sat down on the couch.

"How far long are you again?"

"About seven months and the birth can't come any sooner," she said her hand on her stomach.

Delaney nodded still standing up and said. "What gender is it?"

"It's a girl, we're naming it Abigail."

Delaney nodded and said. "That's a cute name."

Before Kennedy could respond Neville walked in and rested his dirty hands on Delaney's waist.

"Nev, your hands are dirty get them off me," Delaney giggled.

"When did you become such a girly girl, love," he teased, his hot breath tickling her ear.

"I've never been a girly girl,"

Neville sighed and said. "If you insist I'll go wash them."

"Okay, Nev."

He walked away.

"I see you two are happily in love," Kennedy said.

"We are,"

Neville returned and rested his hands on Delaney's waist.

"We have company, Nev."

Neville looked over, glanced over and saw Kennedy sitting on the couch.

"Hi Neville."

"Hi Kennedy," Neville said, taking his hands off Delaney's waist, taking her hand, led her to the couch and pulled her down onto his lap.

"Hey Neville."

The three of them began talking. Kennedy soon left.
