When Theo woke up the next morning he was still in the chair by the fireplace with a blanket wrapped around him. On the table next to him was a note.

"Theo, you looked so adorable sleeping here I just couldn't move you. (Not to mention I'm way too tiny to do that.) So, I got my blanket and wrapped you up just like Professor Young taught us to wrap up the children. I've gone down to breakfast, don't worry, I'll bring you up some stuff. Sleep well until I get back, I may even feed you.

Arik Marie"

Smiling Theo stretched and tried to get comfortable as he heard the door open. Closing his eyes he pretended to be asleep as the scent of bacon and lavender washed through the room. As Arik sat the plate down Theo felt a hand on his cheek and lips lightly brushing his.

"Theo?" Arik asked in a whisper, "Theo I brought some food up."

Smirking only slightly, Theo grabbed Arik's arm and pulled her down, kissing her.

Pushing him away, Arik Looked at him, "Food first, that later."

Groaning, Theo finally opened his eyes and looked up at her, "Ugh, only because you are so beautiful."

Giggling, Arik jumped off of him and went to the table separating the food onto two plates. "Come and get it. I got your favorite, bacon, eggs, and toast; the breakfast of an old man."

Standing up, Theo rounded the table and stood right next to Arik. "The breakfast of an old man?"

"I- uh- I didn't mean that." Arik said sneaking to the other side of the table.

"I think you did." Theo said as he started making his way towards her.

"And if I did?" Arik asked as they continued their hunter/prey dance around the table.

"Then you will live to regret it." Theo said as he made his move running around the table and grabbing Arik around the waist. "Got ya."

Growling up at him Arik reminded him, "Food first, that later."

Letting her go, Theo pulled out her chair and went around sitting at his spot nearly shoveling food down his throat.

"Theo, slow down, the food isn't going anywhere and neither am I." Arik said laughing as she took a small bite of toast.

Suddenly Arik stood up running to the bathroom leaving Theo staring after her bewildered. Getting up he knocked on the door, "Do you need me to get the potion?"

A mumble came from the other side of the door and Theo went up to her room to get the potion. When he got back he found Arik sound asleep on the couch.

Theo placed the potion on the table in front of the couch and went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea. While waiting he went back to the common room and sat next to Arik. Watching her he noticed that her stomach had again gotten bigger. He knew that she was growing at a faster rate, but he still couldn't believe that she was getting that big; of course, four kids would take up a lot of space in there.

The whistling of the kettle broke him out of his thoughts as he went to pour a cup of tea to mix the potion with. Bringing the cup back out, he gently shook Arik's shoulder.

"Arik, I have your potion. Take it and you can go back to sleep, I promise."

Groaning and stretching Arik looked up at him questioningly, "Why is it in a mug?"

"I made tea sweetie. It'll taste better." Theo said as he helped her sit up.

Arik looked up at him when he said 'sweetie', "You just called me sweetie." She said with a smile.

"Of course I did," Theo said with a smile, "now drink your tea."

Lifting the cup to her lips, Arik took two long gulps to down the tea. "It still doesn't taste good. You would think that they would make a potion for woman not to throw up that would at least taste good and not make us want to throw up."

Theo nodded then spoke, "So what do you want to do today? It is Saturday after all."

Thinking Arik looked at him, "Well I did already promise you something earlier didn't I?"

"You did, but if you don't want to you don't have to." Theo said with a concerned look on his face.

"Oh, come off it Theo it's not like we'll be 'consummating' as your mother so delicately put it." Arik said standing up, "I think I can handle some kissing."

As Arik walked over to the table, she waved her wand and the dishes cleared as the leftover food vanished. She heard Theo get up and follow her and she knew he was going to protest about something.

"Arik, I didn't mean it like that, I only meant that we shouldn't be doing it if you don't want to. After all I am the one that has started all of the kisses, you barely respond to them." Theo said.

"Well then do you want me to start a kiss? Because I'll start one, I just think it's nice for the guy to start the kiss first." Arik responded.

"I didn't mean it like that." Theo said sighing.

"Oh, so you don't want me to do it then?" Arik said a smile playing on her lips as she walked up to him, "because I want to." With that Arik grabbed him by the neck and brought her lips to his.

Theo responded instantly, cupping her face in his hands and running one of his hands through her hair. Both were so caught up in the moment they didn't realize that they had been moving toward the couch until the both fell onto it Arik on top of Theo. Their lips still together Arik felt Theo lick her bottom lip and she instantly gave him access, their tongues danced with each other as they both explored each other with their hands. Theo's hand was feeling its way down her back and exploring every inch along the way while Arik's hands had gotten under the hem of his shirt and were feeling all of the contours of his chest and abs. Tugging lightly on the hem of his shirt, Arik helped him pull it off as he sat up. The frantic pace of their kisses was like a metronome to them, keeping the pace of everything that they were doing, before either of them realized it Arik's shirt was off and her hands had worked their way to his waistband, where they were playing with his button, she could feel the fabric straining over his hardening member.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Arik leapt to her feet and scrambled to find her shirt as Theo stomped angrily towards the door.

As Theo yanked open the door he let out a gruff, "What do you want?"

"Oh, did I interrupt something Nott?" The next voice said.

Arik knew the voice, Malfoy was at the door. With that in mind, Arik got an evil idea. Taking off her pants she found a blanket just wide enough to cover her unmentionables, wrapping it around her, she tiptoed over to Theo who was talking to Malfoy.

Standing beside him she asked, "Is everything alright Theo?"

The looks she got from the two of them were hilarious; Arik had to stifle her laughter. Theo looked at her with a curious and confused look in his eyes, while Malfoy looked at her with two very different expressions. The first was lust; the other was like a hunter right before the kill.

"Yes, sweetie, everything is just … perfect." Theo answered then looked back at Malfoy. "As you can see, we were busy, so if you'll excuse us."

Malfoy blanched at that statement still looking Arik over from head to toe.

As the couple turned away Theo shut the door and went back to the couch. "What the hell were you thinking?" he asked with a chuckle.

"I just wanted to see how he would handle it. I'm surprised he didn't try and steal me." Arik said as she snuggled up to Theo.

Theo grabbed her and sat her on his lap. "I am too; it wouldn't have surprised me if he did try something."

Leaning into his shoulder, Arik took a breath and was flooded with his scent. She closed her eyes and listened to his breathing, "So what do you want to do now?"

"Get dressed and I'll show you." Theo said as he stood up holding Arik.

Confused, Arik went up to her room wondering what could be in store.
