(Okay, so Chapter 13 wasn't exactly THAT well written out. I'm slightly ashamed of it. But, I'm making up for it with this chapter. Happy reading! Questions or concers? Drop me a review!)

Chapter 14

Yellow flowers were blooming all over the garden behind Grimmauld place, birds were twittering happy tunes all around the trees, and the small, green pond was now filled with gorgeous, glittering fish. Summer was indeed in full swing. For the most part, Grimmauld was completely empty. Hermione, Sirius, and Remus were currently the only occupants, of course along with little Aariya.

School had been put on hold for Hermione, seeing as everyone knew that raising an infant was work enough. She'd been pardoned from Hogwarts just weeks prior to her delivery, and had been told to come back for her sixth and seventh year when she was ready. Hermione had already insisted on returning that September and she and Remus were searching for a flat close to the school so she could commute rather than live at Hogwarts.

Remus cradled he and Hermione's two month old baby, walking her through the gardens with a large smile plastered on his handsome face, "This is Uncle Sirius' garden. Daddy thinks he's a bloody fruit for keeping a garden in the first place, but don't tell him that," he cooed.

Aariya smiled up at her father, following the sound of his voice. Her eyes hadn't shown any improvement as of yet, but St. Mungo's doctor's had suggested that she might grow out of the blindness. Poppy Pomfrey was currently treating her eyes with every medication and herbal remedy she knew existed.

Hermione stood in the kitchen window, grinning out at her daughter and fiancee. The two looked perfect together, almost as if they were puzzle pieces, fitting just right. She giggled and shook her head, turning her attention back to dinner.

The entire Order was coming to dinner that evening, and Hermione was responsible for the meal. She'd decided on a beef stew, knowing that it was the easiest way to feed the large group of people.

Things were finally calming down for the little family, and they were thrilled, trying to raise a beautiful little girl. Remus was especially happy seeing as he finally had his love back.

"We're here!" Molly's sing-song voice filled the entranceway. Hermione beamed and flicked her wand, serving bowls automatically filling with her well prepared stew. She levitated each carefully to the oaken kitchen table before calling Remus in.

Fifteen people flooded the kitchen, overwhelming little Aariya with their chatter. She began to wail and flail her little arms.

"Great, you scared the baby," Remus glared at the group of people. Everyone became silent, whispering now only when needed. Hermione stood by the head of the table and snickered.

"You can talk, just not all at once. She's blind so her hearing is very sharp," Hermione took a seat across from Remus after he'd set Aariya in her basinet.

Fred and George were the first to start making jokes, wanting to break the awkward silence, "So, 'Mione, when are you marrying the old cod over here?"

"I dunno. Who's a cod?" Hermione quirked a brow and smirked sarcastically.

"We haven't set a wedding date yet," Remus cleared his throat.

"Ooh, have you decided on bridesmaids and dresses and the whole lot yet?" Ginny forked her potato, eyes wide with delight.

"Not yet, but you can help if you like," Hermione smiled warmly and shifted in her seat.

Dinner went on with much conversation and debate for about an hour before the Order dismissed themselves into the parlor for coffee and business. Hermione headed up the stairs with Aariya, intent on putting the little one to sleep. She'd been refusing to stay in her own bed lately, so any reprieve would be welcome. Hermione decided to curl up with the baby, work her to sleep, and then settle her down in the nursery.

Her method worked well, and Hermione soon found herself shuffling toward the bathroom. She stripped, pulling off layer upon layer of clothing as the water in the tub filled with steaming, lavender bubbles. Her favorite. She stepped into the water and sunk down, eyes closing in pleasure. Finally. Time alone.

There was a quiet knock on the door and Remus walked in, smiling softly down at his soon-to-be bride. Hermione returned his loving look as she piled her curls on top of her head, "Join me?" Her voice was nervous and soft, almost as if she were a virgin again.

Remus nodded and stripped down. Hermione noted how different his body looked. His chest was more muscular, his legs and arms larger and longer. His eyes were much darker, almost as if all his worries had manifested there. His body was scarred and worn, yet somehow it made him look much sexier than his boyish form.

Hermione swallowed hard once her eyes landed between his legs. The manhood she remembered taking her virginity was now at least three inches longer than the size it was before, and thicker by an inch.

He climbed in with her and immediately she gravitated to his lap, straddling him so she could face him, "I've missed you."

He smiled, "I've missed you more than you'll ever know."

They stared at each other silently for quite some time before Hermione leaned in and pressed her lips to his, the kiss so soft and vulnerable that she was surprised he felt it. His lips responded to hers immediately, deepening the kiss with haste. Her hips met his, and she slowly slid down to take his length, desperately needing him inside her. Their bodies, as always, fit perfectly together, although Remus was a litte bit larger than Hermione was used to.

She worked slowly on his lap, her hands clasping his shoulders for better control. His fingers trailed from her shoulders down her sides, to her hips and back up her stomach, hands cupping both full breasts. He groaned softly into her ear, tongue running over the edge as Hermione shivered, picking up the pace now that he'd sent a spark down her spine.

He let his thumbs dance over her nipples as he thrusted up into her, meeting her hips with every movement. It was perfect. She was perfect. Before he knew it Hermione was biting down on his shoulder and moaning loudly, her orgasm crashing over her in powerful waves.

He wasn't finished. He swept her off of his lap with ease and bent her over the side of the tub, easily sliding into her body from behind. Hermione gripped the edge, now chewing on her lip to keep from squealing in pleasure. His hips pounded into her rear repeatedly, letting her know he was in control. His hand clapped down hard on her immaculate flesh, leaving hand prints there.

"Remus! I'm going to... Ahhhh," Hermione shivered with delight as another orgasm rushed through her. This time he couldn't hold on. He emptied himself inside her as she clenched around him, both panting and groaning aloud.

They collapsed together in the tub, both trying desperately to catch their breath, "Worth the wait?" Hermione smirked.

"Very much so."

(Better? Hope so :) Oh, and to Hermione Granger-Weasley, don't worry, I have a plot behind Aariya being blind. Just keep reading and you'll end up thrilled. Things won't be bad for long. Ariah23, I love Pretty Little Liars. That's partly where I got the name, but there's more to it than that. You'll have to wait and see what I mean. AriesPrincess-Slyffindor, I will most definitely keep your pen name in mind when writing future chapters. Something about it gives me ideas. *strokes imaginary goatee* Please review!)
