A Moment Shared
When Severus returned, Hermione was alone, her eyes closed, attempting to rest.
Severus sat down quietly and waited for her to notice him.
Unfortunately, she only realized he was there when another contraction came on.
Afterwards, her eyes shining from unshed tears, she held out her hand.
Instead of placing his hand in hers, Severus handed her a glass vial.
"What's that?"
"A potion that might help with the pain. The Healers don't use it often but it's not harmful."
Hermione smiled, glad Severus cared about her.
She held out her hand again. This time Severus took it.
"I'm scared."

They make such a cute couple, don't you think?
Well, the big chapter is nearing! I can feel the anticipation in the air.
Actually, there are only 3 more chapters to go before I have to start creating new stuff to please your voracious appetites!
Thanks as always for the reviews, keep 'em coming!
