Severus frowned. "Minerva said you were in labor." Severus tried to control himself- this apprehension was not normal.

"Yes…" Hermione gave him a half smile and gestured to a spare seat.

"What's confusing you, Severus?" Molly asked tenderly.

Severus glared at her. He refused to be mollycoddled by… well, Molly.

Hermione gave him an expectant look.

"I thought you'd be…." Severus halted.

"In pain? It comes and goes." Hermione shrugged, hiding her own panic.

Severus frowned when he noticed the Weasleys were heading towards the door.

"Ginny's hungry so we'll just pop down to the cafeteria."

Severus mumbled. "Subtle that..."

……

Aw, Molly's trying to match-make with a married couple. How sweet!
