Good News

She lit the final candle on the table and smiled softly to herself, as she finished setting the scene for what she hoped would be a romantic night in with her fiancée, Jimmy Peaks.

A loud crack from upstairs signalled that Jimmy had arrived home from work. It was common practise for him to shower and change before greeting his fiancée after a long day.

Most days this irked Hermione, but today she was grateful for his love of cleanliness as it provided her with a few more precious moments to ensure that every last detail was in place.

As soon as she heard the telltale signs of his fast feet rushing down the staircase, summoned the food from the kitchen and laid the various dishes to rest on the table, casting a quick charm to ensure they were at the optimal temperature.

"Something smells absolutely delicious Hermione," Jimmy said as he greeted her in the dining room with a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you," Hermione said as they sat down at the table, and began to divvy up the food between them. "I made your favourite."

As they ate the young couple exchanged stories about how their respective days had been, but Jimmy suspected that his fiancée was holding something back, however it wasn't until Hermione brought out dessert that he discovered what it was.

"So, I found something out today," Hermione said, as she placed the baby blue cupcake on the table. "It's good news, and I think you'll feel the same."

"What is it Hermione?" Jimmy asked.

"You're going to be a dad," Hermione informed him with a smile. "We're going to have a baby."

"That's wonderful news Hermione," he declared, jumping up from his seat, moving towards her and gathering her up in his arms.

He kissed her tenderly on the lips as he placed her back on her feet before bending down and kissing her stomach.

"Hello baby, I'm your dad, and I cannot wait to meet you," he whispered.
