"I'm pregnant."

"No."

"No? What do you mean 'no'?"

"I mean it's not possible. We took precautions."

"Which are not always a hundred percent effective."

"No."

"Exactly, I have a report from a mediwitch right here if you want to read it. Or you can cast the diagnostic spell yourself."

"I will."

"See, I told you."

"How...how could this happen?'

"Do I really have the explain the birds and the bees to you, Severus?"

"No, I meant..."

"I know what you meant. Now what are we going to do about it?"

"We?"

"It's your child too, unless you want to accuse me of cheating on you for some insane reason."

"I don't even know if I can have kids, Hermione."

"Obviously you can since I've been faithful."

"And you want me to be part of the child's life? I'm not a good person, I doubt I'll be much of a father."

"Just because your father was a drunk idiot doesn't meant you'll be anything like him. And yes, I do want you to be part of our child's life, part of my life. I want us to be a family."

"A family."

"Yes, I know you bought a ring, or had one made. I saw you at the shop with Lucius, of all people."

"We were buying a present for Narcissa."

"Thestral shit."

"Watch your language."

"And if I don't? Now, don't you have something you were thinking about asking me about, Severus?"

"You should know I don't care for being pressured."

"I'm not trying to pressure you, but I'd prefer if we all shared the same last name when our baby is born in about seven months."

"You do raise a valid point. Very well, sometime within the next three months, before you start showing and claiming you look like a whale, I will ask you the question. When, and only when, I feel the time is right. We will be a family, but I will not coerced into doing anything."

"Deal. I love you, Severus and when you do ask, the answer will be 'yes'."

"I love you too Hermione, and I hope I'll be father to our child you believe I can be."
