Chapter 29: Pregnant
It was now late 2003, Neville and Delaney have been married for two years now. Delaney hadn't been feeling well most of the day. She was on her lunch break with Susan.
"Everything okay, Delaney?" Susan asked.
She turned to her redheaded friend and said. "Hmm, what?"
"You seem kind of distracted."
"I just haven't been feeling well."
Susan nodded and said. "How so?"
"I've been nauseous and throwing up a lot. I've been extra tired."
The redhead smirked and said. "I think you're knocked up, those are all symptoms of pregnancy that I had with Lizzie. Although this pregnancy isn't as hard."
"You're pregnant?" Delaney asked her.
Susan nodded and said. "I am, Zach and I are excited. I'm just over four months."
"I hope Neville will be happy."
"I'm sure he will be but if he's not I'll hex him to oblivion."
Delaney giggled at her friend. Neville wasn't coming home for another two weeks or so.
Neville arrived home a few weeks later. It's great to be home.
"Nev?" Delaney asked.
He grinned at the sound of his wife's voice as he walked towards the living room. He greeted her with a kiss on the cheek.
"I have something to tell you, Nev," Delaney said, seriously.
He suddenly got worried and asked. "Everything okay?"
"Perfect."
He sat next to her and asked. "If everything is perfect what do you need to tell me?"
"I'm about three and half months pregnant," Delaney grinned.
Tears started to form in Neville's eyes and he asked. "I'm going to be a daddy?"
"You sure are, Nev."
He moved closer to his wife, pulled her shirt up and cupped her stomach.
"There's a baby Longbottom in there, Nev."
"I know, love," he grinned, kissing her stomach.
Delaney grinned at her husband's reaction and said. "At least I know you're safe from being to hexed to oblivion by Sue."
"Why would I be hexed to oblivion by Susan?" Neville asked readjusting himself next to his wife wrapping his arm around her and resting his hand on her stomach again.
Delaney giggled and said. "That's for me to know and you to never to find out." She said kissing his lips briefly.
Neville suddenly forgot at the touch of his wife's lips. He pulled her closer to him deepening the kiss although his hand hand't left her stomach.
"It's nice to finally tell you. I've known for two weeks."
Neville hummed as he began to trail kisses down her neck. Her hands started to fiddle with the buttons of his shirt. She discarded it on the floor right away and eyed his chest.
"You like what you see?"
Delaney smirked and said. "You know I always do."
Neville picked her up being careful though and resting her against the wall his hands under her thighs. He suddenly pulled away.
"Something wrong?"
"I don't want to hurt our baby, is it okay to make love to you?"
Delaney nodded and said. "It is."
"Works for me," Neville chuckled as they began to stumble to their bedroom.
He laid Delaney on the bed as he helped her remove her shirt.
"Is the bump very noticeable without my shirt?" Delaney asked insecurely.
Neville glanced at her bare stomach at least to him it didn't look too big.
"Nev, am I that unattractive that you can't even respond?" she asked.
"Of course not."
"I'm suddenly not in the mood anymore. I have to start dinner anyway," Delaney said, putting her shirt back on and getting off the bed.
Neville sighed. This was Delaney's first of many of mood swings that he's been around for anyway. He's in for a wild ride and Delaney was already emotional but he loved that about her.
"Dinner's ready!" Delaney called.
Neville walked down the stairs and carefully walked into the kitchen.
"Is it safe?" he asked.
Delaney giggled and said. "You killed Nagini, you shouldn't be so scared of your pregnant wife's mood swings."
"You can be just as venomous when you want to be, love," Neville said, going to the cupboard, pulled out some dishes and started to set the table.
"I suppose so."
Dinner was soon ready and they ate. Neville was hoping they would continue what they were doing earlier but they didn't.
It was a few days later, Neville and Delaney were announcing the pregnancy to Neville's parents.
"Mum, dad we have something to tell you," Neville grinned.
"Are we finally going to be grandparents?" Alice asked.
"How did you know?"
Alice grinned and said. "Well, Delaney has been showing symptoms of pregnancy for ages and not to mention your hand hasn't left her stomach since you got here."
"We have to be stop being so obvious, love."
"Speak for yourself, Nev," Delaney giggled.
The couple soon left Alice and Frank's house.
"You want to fool around a bit, love?" Neville asked.
Delaney smirked and said. "More than a bit, Nev."
And with that he crashed his lips into hers and they soon stumbled to their room and made passionate love.
The next morning Delaney woke up in her normal position with Neville's hand resting on her stomach protectively. She smiled and ruffled his blond hair.
"Hmm," he hummed.
She got out of bed and started to get dressed. Neville was still fast asleep by the time she finished. She walked down the stairs and started breakfast. A few minutes later, Neville's arms wrapped around her his hand resting on her bump.
"Morning love," he whispered in her ear.
"Morning Nev."
Neville grinned and said. "Morning Baby Longbottom."
"Merlin, you're still quite cheesy."
"But you love it," Neville smiled kissing her.
"I suppose I do," Delaney said.
The couple started snogging passionately until the tea kettle went off. Delaney broke away from a still very enthusiastic Neville seeing as his hand had been resting on her bum ready to give it a quick and good squeeze.
"Moment killer," Neville groaned.
Delaney giggled at her husband.
