A/N: Sorry the chapters are so short. I'll try to lengthen them a little more.
Chapter 2: Grimuald Place
Over the next few weeks, Hermione's body began to change. Severus didn't seem to notice; not even when they were in bed together. The exhaustion Hermione felt was taking hold and she found herself sleeping every chance she got, It was the end of June when they went for a visit to Grimuald Place at Hermione's insistence.
Arriving the day before, Hermione had gone to sleep and woke in the morning craving a lemon meringue pie. She now found herself eating a piece of one that she had conjured from the kitchen. Ginny entered the kitchen and laughed, seeing Hermione scrounge down the pie before anyone else woke.
"That baby certainly likes things that you don't," Ginny whispered. Ginny was sworn to secrecy about her pregnancy until Hermione could find a way to tell Severus.
The kitchen filled with people that morning for breakfast and Hermione heard someone ask her, "Have you been gaining weight, Hermione?"
Her eyes filled with tears as she realized that she wasn't going to be able to hide it anymore. She ran from the room and heard Severus yell at the person who had spoken to her.
Hermione laid on their bed and curled into a ball when Severus entered the room. He laid a hand on her shoulder and sighed when she shook it off and sat up. "Why are you listening to what Weasley says?"
"Because he's right. I have been gaining weight," she explained.
"People gain and lose weight all the time that shouldn't make you emotional."
"There is a reason that I'm gaining weight."
"What," he asked confused.
"I'm pregnant."
Severus stared at her for a moment, then stood and left the room with an angry look. Hermione packed her bags and headed to London, leaving Severus with some time to think.
