The next morning Adelaine woke up in her normal position with Lee's hand resting on her bare stomach protectively. She no longer had the sickness and nauseousness to the extent where she tossed her cookies every morning.

"You awake, love?" he asked sleepily.

Adelaine turned to her sleepy husband and said. "Yes, I'm awake."

"I know you sensed something was wrong last night and I just used making love to you as a distraction. Although I throughly enjoyed the multiple times we made love especially when you would yell my name in pleasure," he finished with a smirk.

"Why did you need the distraction?" she asked worriedly.

Lee sighed, ran his hand through his dreadlocks and said. "I'm just nervous about being a bad father. I'm not saying that I'm not excited since we've been trying to conceive again since the end of the war."

"Lee, I'm sure you won't be a bad father. Although I might be a bad mum."

"You're great with Teddy, I can't see you being bad with our child," he told her.

Adelaine sighed and said. "I suppose you're right. We never discussed how many kids we want to have."

"I want my own Quidditch team," Lee chuckled.

"As much as I love you, Lee. I'm not going through labor seven times," Adelaine said, resting her head on his chest.

"Well, it was worth a shot but I'm honestly fine with three or four children," Lee told her his hand hovering over her stomach.

"Now that's a more reasonable number," Adelaine said.

The couple continued snuggling for a few minutes and reluctantly got up. They got ready for their respective work days.

"Have a good day at work, love!" Lee said, kissing her cheek before he went to work.

"You too, Lee."

The couple went their separate ways. Adelaine went to the Daily Prophet.

"Morning, Addie," Leslie greeted.

"Morning,"

The two friends shared their morning scone. The baby quite enjoyed the scone or at least Adelaine thinks the baby did.

The work day continued. At half five Adelaine left and went home to see Lee cooking dinner.

"Hey Lee," Adelaine greeted her husband taking off her cloak.

He greeted her with a kiss on the cheek.

"It sure smells good in here," Adelaine said sitting down at the kitchen table.

Lee nodded and asked. "How was work?"

"Good, how about for you?"

"Just the same."

Adelaine helped him set the table and they as always blatantly flirted through the meal.


It was now about a month later. Adelaine was now four and half months along and her stomach was a lot more obvious. She was at home right before Christmas reading when there was a slight flutter in her stomach. She was caught off guard for a second but then realized their child had just kicked for the first time and grinned widely. She would have to tell Lee when he gets home. She checked the clock it was almost five he should be home soon. She didn't work as often instead of working all week she worked three days a week.

"Hey love," Lee greeted her with a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey Lee."

He rested his hand on her stomach and said. "Hello, baby Jordan." Suddenly he felt the same flutter that Adelaine had felt earlier.

"Something wrong?"

"Is the baby supposed to do that?" He asked worriedly.

Adelaine smiled and said. "Yes, the baby is supposed to kick. Baby Jordan kicked for the first time earlier."

"It's amazing, isn't it?" Lee asked.

Adelaine rested her hand over Lee's and said. "Yes, it is."

"Have you eaten?"

Adelaine shook her head.

"Do you have any requests or does our child have any requests?" Lee asked.

Adelaine shook her head.

"Okay," he said walking into the kitchen.

Adelaine followed him waddling and situating herself at the kitchen table. Although her stomach was practically hitting the bottom.

"So, we might find out the gender of our child tomorrow," Lee grinned.

Adelaine groaned and said. "I want it to be a surprise."

"You know how much I hate surprises, love."

Their child kicked again as if to say 'Don't fight, mummy and daddy.'

"How are we going to name baby Jordan, then?"

"I thought if it's a girl the middle name Charity and for a boy Cedric and for a boy to follow your family tradition of using the name of the great grandfather as the middle name so that would Nicholas or Stanley."

Lee nodded and said. "I prefer Nicholas."

"Me too."

"I'm curious where you got the name Charity."

Adelaine asked. "You remember the Muggle Studies Professor in our fifth year?"

"Very vaguely, she enjoyed our pranks and didn't get mad at us much," Lee answered his wife.

"Charity was her first name so I thought it would be a nice homage."

Before Lee could respond dinner was ready. They ate and blatantly flirted throughout the meal as always.


The next morning the couple got up and got ready for the appointment. They apparated to St. Mungos and waited for the healer called Adelaine's name.

"Adelaine Jordan!"

She got up, Lee took her hand and they walked to the healer's office.

"So, have you been having a normal pregnancy, Mrs. Jordan?"

Adelaine answered. "Honestly, I don't know what a normal pregnancy is since this is technically my first one. Seeing as I miscarried three years ago."

"Okay, then. Mrs. Jordan please lay down and pull up your shirt."

Adelaine laid down on the bed and pulled up her shirt. Although her stomach was practically bulging out of the shirt and she was only almost five months along.

"There's your baby," the healer said.

The couple looked over to see the picture of their child.

"It's amazing, that's our child," Lee said, tearing up.

"We made that little creature."

Lee kissed her forehead his eyes brimming with tears.

"Would you like to know the gender of your baby?"

Lee looked over at Adelaine, sighed and said. "No."

"Okay, I suppose you want to be surprised?"

Lee nodded reluctantly as the appointment finished. They walked out of St. Mungos and apparated home in silence.

"I know you really wanted to know the gender, Lee."

He just nodded.

"Well, I'll be in the shower you're welcome to join me once you get over your pity party," she said, rubbing his arm seductively and leaving the room.

Ugh. He was trying so hard to be mad at her but he'll proudly admit she has him wrapped around her finger and she knows it. He was a complete and utter fool for her and has been since February of their fourth year. He followed his wife to their bathroom stripping along the way.

"I knew you wouldn't turn this down, even though you're trying to be mad at me," Adelaine smirked at him as he got in their shower.

He glanced at his wife water dripping off her almost five month pregnant stomach. If he wasn't randy before he's definitely randy now.

"Wash my hair for me," she said, trying to keep the sweet atmosphere.

Lee washed his wife's hair and whispered in her ear sexily. "I know what you're trying to do, love. It's not working I've been long gone for awhile."

Adelaine smirked and said. "What are you waiting for, you don't need my permission to make love to me in our shower."

And without another word they began a bit of foreplay.

"Are you ready, love?" Lee asked resting his hands on the shower wall before he entered his wife.

"I'm more than ready," she agreed.

And with that he entered his wife slowly.

"Merlin, this feels so good," she moaned, gripping his hair slightly wanting to desperately pull it.

Lee pushed in further and kissed his wife passionately. She gave one of his wet dreadlocks a tug.

"Someone's impatient, my saucy little badger," Lee smirked, that tug had made him enter her just a little more.

"Did that hurt forcing it in like that?" Adelaine whispered.

Lee shook his head and pushed in a little bit further. He slowly inched in finally hitting her sensitive spot causing her to moan shamelessly. After that passionate love making session they stumbled out of the shower.

"That was amazing but it's always amazing when I make love to you," Lee sighed, happily kissing his wife's naked shoulder.

"You know you're really loud," Adelaine smirked at him.

"I've always been loud and you've never complained."

"And I'm not complaining now."

"You know I thought of the name Ariana if our child is a girl," Lee said, resting his hand on her stomach as their child kicked.

"I like that name, It has a nice ring to it, Ariana Charity Jordan."

Lee nodded and said. "I think we went back to the scene of our child's conception."

"How many rooms have we shagged in since we lived here?" Adelaine giggled.

Lee thought for a moment and said. "We've shagged about three times in the kitchen, four times in the guest bedroom, multiple times in our bedroom, our bathroom specifically our shower seems to be our favorite place."

"It's because neither one of us has to undress the other when we're in the shower."

"I suppose so, love."

Adelaine stood up and waddled over to their room.

"Aren't you going to help me up?" Lee teased.

Adelaine just smirked at him as she started to get dressed. Lee grumbled and got up.

"You want another round?"

"Merlin, you're insatiable sometimes but I suppose I don't mind and that's how I ended up pregnant," Adelaine giggled.

Lee glanced at the clock and said. "I actually should go start dinner."

"So, you're going to cook naked?"

Lee said cockily. "You've been looking at my abs for ages love and don't you lie."

Adelaine waddled over to her husband and said. "I have." as she twirled one of his still damp dreadlocks around her finger.

Lee rested his hand on her stomach and said. "You know I'll be happy if it's a boy or a girl."

"I know, Paddy."

Lee grinned. She hasn't called him Paddy in ages. He bent down to place a kiss on said stomach, stood up, threw on some boxers and a pair of trousers, kissed Adelaine's forehead and walked down the stairs to start dinner. If their child is a girl he'll be wrapped around her finger.

Adelaine waddled down the stairs a few minutes later and sat down at the table. After a few minutes Lee put down the plates and the couple ate and flirted blatantly.

"That was delicious, Lee."

"Thanks, you want to give me some dessert," Lee smirked.

Adelaine smirked and tugged one of his dreadlocks and their lips connected in a heated kiss. Lee let out a moan at the contact as he maneuvered her so he was on top of her. The couple just passionately snogged on the couch.

It was now about a month and a half later. Adelaine was just over six months along now.

"Merlin, I'm huge!" she exclaimed looking in the mirror.

Lee glanced at his wife and said. "No, you're not."

Adelaine glared at him. He knew this mood wouldn't last long. This is the routine they go through every morning. In a second she'll start crying.

"I'm sorry, Lee," she started to sob.

He walked over to his wife and told her. "I know it's hormones, love. Though you're already emotional. This just makes you extra emotional. I've always loved how emotional you are."

"You have?" Adelaine sniffed looking up at him.

Lee smiled and kissed her forehead.

"You can almost play quidditch with how big I am," she chuckled.

Lee chuckled.

It was now three months later and Adelaine was in labor.

"Bloody hell, this hurts!" she exclaimed.

"You can get through this, love," Lee encouraged.

Adelaine glared at him and threatened. "You want me to magically castrate you."

That shut Lee up but he was still holding her hand.

"It's time to start pushing, Mrs. Jordan."

"I don't think I can."

Lee afraid to say anything for once just kissed his wife's sweaty forehead with that silent encouragement Adelaine began pushing.

"Just one more push."

Adelaine gave one more big push and laid back in exhaustion.

"Come over here, Mr. Jordan," the healer instructed.

Lee obeyed and asked. "Is there something wrong?"

"No, she's perfect. Meet your baby girl, Mr. Jordan."

Lee grinned and asked. "I have a daughter?"

"You sure do," she said handing the baby to Lee.

He looked down his daughter. She looked exactly like him but with Adelaine's hazel eyes.

"Lee?" Adelaine asked.

He turned to his wife and said. "I'm glad you made me be patient about finding out the gender."

"I thought you'd see things my way."

Lee walked over and rested their daughter in her mother's arms.

"It's a baby girl, hey Ari. I'm your mummy."

"And I'm your daddy." Lee cooed, holding out his finger.

Little Ariana wrapped her little hand around his big finger.

"She's going to have you wrapped around her finger isn't she?"

"Proudly, just like her mum."

Adelaine smiled sweetly up at her husband. Lee went to go get his parents, Angelina and George.

"So, what did you have?"

"We have a beautiful baby girl," Lee grinned.

"So, we have a beautiful granddaughter."

"Yes, her name is Ariana Charity."

The grandparents and godparents smiled.
