The time was slipping by from Hermione as she worked and would go over for dinners and pampering from one or both of her marauders after work. Neither one of them asked her for more than her precious time in the evenings. They would come over Saturday mornings and treat the Potters to watching James while cuddling and slowly getting used to soberly giving her affection at the same time.
Harry and Ginny had announced last month that she was expecting and the Weasley family was over the moon. Needless to say Molly paid less attention to Hermione's not so subtle affections to two certain older gentlemen during their dinners. It was almost a little bit fun...
Around the full moons the werewolf was extremely hostile and broody, so Hermione spent a bit more time on him and it was appreciated. It was a lovely Saturday morning, and the months had floated by with a serene texture. She had shagged each of them during that time period pretty regularly but no more join excursions as of yet.
James was sitting with Hermione on the floor as the Potters were still in bed. They were cuddling and playing with his animal figures. "Aunt Mione, it's a tiger!" James exclaimed and showed her the lion figure.
"That's a lion, sweetheart." She corrected him and he nodded.
"Lion, roar!" He responded and she kissed his hair.
Sirius and Remus walked through the fireplace and James jumped up, "Uncle Sirius! Uncle Remus! Look it is a tiger-lion!" James shouted and Sirius picked him up.
"Would that be a liger, James?" He asked and Hermione snorted.
"Or a tigon, depends on the parents," Remus continued and the witch on the floor grinning at him.
"Hello, my beautiful witch," Remus murmured and leaned down to snog her deeply. "You smell absolutely delicious," he whispered as they parted.
Sirius placed James down and as Remus pulled away, he leaned in and kissed her just as thoroughly as the werewolf, "I have been waiting to do that since last night," he breathed when their lips were separated and she smiled.
"What is on the docket today, my marauders?" She asked them as James settled down with her on the floor.
Remus rubbed his chin and sighed, "well, we could go Christmas shopping, or ice skating... or go home and cuddle up with a book."
"When are you planning on having Teddy over?" She inquired and Remus smiled brightly.
"I am bringing him home for the Christmas holiday tomorrow. Andromeda seemed sad to part with him, but we shall see if he is ready to stay with me full time." Remus declared and Sirius rubbed his shoulder.
"It will be good to have him there," the animagus muttered and smiled.
Hermione kissed James's hair and stood up, "well, that would be great."
"Come home?" Remus asked and Hermione smiled.
"I will come spend a few nights soon."
"You always say that kitten, then you leave after those few nights and we miss you," Sirius grumbled and she walked up to them.
Hermione kissed each of them and they embraced her, "It is time, Hermione." Remus whispered and she giggled.
"Also, how are we ever going to convince you to stay in bed all day if you are always coming back here for your clothes." Sirius snickered and she exhaled and snuggled closer to them.
"I will give it a very deep thought and tell you after dinner tonight." She compromised and they nodded.
Remus pulled away and started breakfast and the animagus and witch sat on the floor with the boy.
After a while, there was a disgusting smell in the house to Hermione. "Sirius, do you know what that grotesque smell is?" She asked and he shook his head.
"Love, all I smell is breakfast," he told her and she got up with a scowl.
"Moony, what are you making for breakfast?" Hermione said pointedly as she walked into the kitchen.
She gazed at the pan with the eggs and bacon he was frying up and she gagged. Hermione realized she was going to lose her stomach and ran into the bathroom. Voiding the contents of her stomach into the bowl she frowned. Wiping her face, she thought to herself as she was fighting off another wave of sickness.
The witch stood in the bathroom trying to think of possibilities. She hasn't been ill lately, has she? A bit tired. Somewhat sore, but she was expecting that; she had been shagging two very active marauders. The witch thought back on her notes and remembered possible illness with symptoms of something darker. She bolted from the bathroom and went to the Potter's door.
"Ginny! Ginny!" Hermione hollered and went to knock on their bedroom door. "Ginny!" She screamed and the redhead opened the door swiftly.
"What is wrong with you?" Ginny groaned sleepily.
"Ginny, I just yakked, I need to go to St. Mungo's, what if I missed something in my notes?" She was panicked but Ginny waved it off, still not awake.
"You might just be pregnant, leave it be, Mione," Ginny finished and gasped covering her mouth.
Hermione turned pale and covered her face, "I have been diligent. You know I have."
"Well, um, okay," Ginny was blushing and Hermione glared.
"What did you do?" Hermione shouted and Ginny gasped.
The small mother yanked her into the bedroom and Harry poked his head up, "Ginny, what are you doing?" He growled and she flicked her wand for a few muffling charms.
"Don't be mad at me, Hermione..." Ginny started and Hermione gasped.
"What did you do?" Hermione asked incredulously.
Ginny sighed heavily, "I might have bought you a fertility charm to offset your potions?" She asked with a grimace.
Hermione glanced down at the necklace and screamed, "Ginny! Why!"
"They needed a shove in the right direction and I was told it is great to increase attraction. Also, because you would never agree to do it yourself and they love you." She admitted and Hermione gasped and covered her face.
"Ginny, I shagged Draco once while wearing this necklace too..." Hermione trailed off and landed on the floor, her knees tucked below her.
Ginny expressed surprise and Harry groaned, "my wife. Good intentions with bad results." He growled and Hermione started to shake her head.
"When did you shag Draco? You said in his letters that he is happily seeing Astoria." Ginny was trying hard to keep her voice normal.
"He came to my work for lunch the day after I shagged them both. It was a bit of a quick goodbye shag and I was so... Ginny, it could be any of them!" Hermione cried and Ginny got on the floor.
The redhead hugged her and shook her head, "well, at least you know that none of them have bad genes..." She tried to comfort her and Hermione shoved her.
"I cannot believe you, Ginny! You kidnapped my womb!" Hermione snapped and glared at her.
Ginny skewed her face, "actually, I just gave you the charm to increase the chances of them wanting you together. The shagging was all you, Mione. I didn't know you were going to keep it on either."
"Well, now I know why I felt so damn good with it on. Bloody hell, Ginny. Why didn't you tell me to take it off?" The bushy haired witch grumbled.
Harry snorted and sighed heavily, "Ginny, I love you, but you know you are wrong. Mione, it will be alright. Would you like me to go make sure the marauders aren't worried about you?"
Hermione nodded and Harry left the room, "I have a test in our bathroom if you want to see." Ginny offered and the older witch nodded.
"It would be good to see." She whimpered and wiped her face.
"Come on, let us see." They went into the bathroom and waited the dreadfully agonizing time to see.
One minute... agonizing...
Two minutes... please, oh, please...
Bloody double blue lines. Well, fuck. At least that was what Hermione was thinking as she stared at the test in her hand and shook her head. Ginny sat on the edge of the tub with Hermione and was biting her lip. She was excited for her friend; they were going to be able to have a baby together, but now it felt wrong.
"I am sorry I highjacked your pregnancy," Ginny sighed and Hermione rubbed her face.
"How am I going to explain the possibility of the baby coming out with blond hair, Gin?" Hermione groaned and Ginny grimaced.
Ginny rubbed her back and sighed, "well, you don't have to, you both were shagging well before they were shagging you."
The bushy haired witch exhaled and nodded, "well, I better tell them." She stood and Ginny bit her lip hard.
"Hermione, I really am sorry. I wasn't trying to go this far with it." Ginny apologized and Hermione rubbed her friend's shoulder.
"I hope you know this means you have babysitting duty for the entirety of this child's life," Hermione grumbled and Ginny giggled and stood up.
They hugged and Ginny waggled her eyebrows, "we are going to have babies together," she teased and Hermione groaned.
"Couldn't let me have my own thunder, Ginny?"
"After you bring back two marauders from the dead? No, I need to share one last thing with you."
Hermione took Ginny's hand and lead her from the bathroom and into their bedroom. From there the older witch inhaled deeply and nodded before going to the living room. Harry had breakfast on the table, but the marauders were sitting in the living room. Remus had warned Sirius what he heard and Sirius was bouncing his knee in anxiety.
"Gentlemen," Ginny started and Remus snorted.
"Come now, we don't need to beat around the boggart," Remus snapped and Hermione frowned.
"Alright, well- okay- Ginny," Hermione sputtered and gazed at the redhead.
"I gave her a fertility charmed necklace," Ginny said flatly and Sirius frowned.
"You mean to tell me that you facilitated an accident, Ginevra?" Sirius growled and Hermione covered her face.
"I am pregnant, I am sorry if that disappoints you," she groaned and Ginny helped her to the armchair.
The marauders softened and walked over to her, "We aren't angry with you, Hermione. We are surprised and a bit worried for you." Remus told her and she glanced up at them.
"Worried for me?" She echoed and Sirius nodded.
"A baby wasn't in your plans right now. We know that. We felt like we disappointed you somehow." Sirius told her and ran a hand through his hair.
She took their hands, "well, it wasn't, but seems my friend likes to be intrusive about my life..." Hermione trailed off and glared at Ginny. "There is one more potential issue..."
Remus ran his hand through his hair and shook his head, "you don't know who's it is. That is fine it is our baby, Hermione."
"It is just us anyway," Sirius chuckled and Hermione paled. "Right?"
"Well, I was shagging one other person right before we got together..." She trailed off and bit her lip.
"That fucking blond brat..." Sirius seethed and Remus rubbed his face.
"I am sorry," Hermione whimpered and they kneeled to her.
"It will be fine, love," Sirius whispered and kissed her.
Remus kissed her and nodded, "we will be just fine. But you really have no choice, you are moving in." He told her and she exhaled heavily.
"Alright," she murmured and the marauders chuckled.
"Time for a toast?" Harry asked and the wizards laughed.
"Precisely, Harry," Remus declared and walked over to the table for his glass.
Sirius kissed her again before walking to the table. "To happy accidents?" Sirius asked and Hermione covered her face; she was going to be a mother...
