Disclaimer: I am not the illustrious J.K. Rowling. If I were she, I would not be writing fan fiction. I make no money from this.
A/N: This is written for The "365 Days of Drabbles" Challenge. This is a challenge to write a drabble or one-shot a day for 365 days. Each day will have a prompt that is to be used that day. Most of these will revolve around Sevmione. If you don't like the pairing, don't read. They won't be in any particular order. The prompt for day 4: Heart.
Warning: this one a bit of M rated material suggested.
Heart
Hermione was lying with her head on Severus' chest and her hand over his heart. They had just spent a rather amorous evening together. It was Severus' birthday and she had met him at the door wearing a sheer negligee. They both had fun with that gift.
"I love listening to your heartbeat," she said. "It reminds me that you are alive and that this is real."
He was stroking her right arm with his left hand. "I just love your heart."
She angled her head up to look at him, the question on her face. "What do you mean?"
He continued to stroke her arm as he answered. "You have a great heart. No matter how many friends you have or how much family you have, your heart can always make room for new people. You even had it in your heart to trust me through everything. You never lost faith in Potter. You are wonderful and I love your heart."
She smiled and leaned up to kiss him. "Your heart can grow to make room for others, too, Severus. You've made friends with Harry and Ginny. I know you secretly have a soft spot for Molly and Arthur. And your heart will grow even more when we have children."
He snorted a bit. "We've already discussed this. I'm not going to be a good father. I had no father figure to emulate, so I'm leaving all the raising and loving to you."
She lifted her head off of his chest and looked down at him. "You'll be a great father. Dumbledore was a father figure to you. You could always ask Lucius what raising a child is like. Or Arthur. He's the father of seven. And I hear that once one has their own children things are different. You'll want to love and raise them with me."
Severus looked into her eyes for a moment. "Why are we even discussing this right now?"
Hermione bit her lower lip. He used his thumb to gently pull her lip from between her teeth. "What do you have to tell me?" he asked her.
"Well…I'm pregnant."
Severus lay in shock for a moment. "Really?"
She nodded.
"I'll have to owl Lucius and Arthur immediately," he said. Hermione leaned down and gave Severus a heated kiss. He put his hand in her hair and deepened the kiss. "Maybe it can wait until morning."
