"Did you read the paper today?" Hermione asked.

"No. Should I?" Severus asked looking up from his book.

"Probably, we made the gossip column again."

"What is it this time? I thought they had grown bored with over analyzing everything we did."

"I thought so too, but here, read this," she stated handing him a slightly damp copy of the Daily Prophet. He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Don't ask me, the sink exploded," she said with a straight face. He shook his head and opened the paper to the gossip column. His black eyes skimmed the page before he put the paper down and stared at her.

"According to this, you're pregnant with Harry Potter's baby." She nodded.

"Apparently. Despite the fact I haven't seen Harry in months."

"Obviously. Where do they get this tripe?" he asked.

"They camp outside St. Mungo's, and watch where people go. That's how they got that stupid story about Hannah dying of cancer. She's not, by the way."

"That's good. I would hate to lose a good healer to something like that. Now, about this story... You said they camp out side St. Mungo's. When were you there?"

"About three days ago. I just had a regular appointment."

"Then why are they talking about you being pregnant?" Hermione pretended she didn't hear the question. Severus narrowed his eyes slightly. "Hermione. What aren't you telling me."

"There's a chance that... well, it's too early to tell. I should know for certain in about a week..." she trailed off as her husband stared at her.

"There's a chance."

"Yes, and I would have told you if this stupid rag of a paper hadn't spoiled it," she grumbled. He shook his head.

"At least we know there's not chance of it being Potter's."

"You know I only have eyes for you Severus."

"And I, you, Hermione. When is this next appointment?"

"Friday, come with me?"

"Nothing would make me happier, and if the test comes back negative, it changes nothing." She nodded kissing him.

"I love you, Severus."

"I love you too, my Hermione."
