Cedric and Hermione, a ship I really love! So enjoy this. This story is complete on another site, so I'll be posting chapters here every few days. I just had to share it with more readers.
Thanks Nicole for the help and the process of getting this story to this point.

Counting Fingers, Counting Toes
Chapter 1
"So, my little one," he said with a whisper, "Should we count your fingers and count your toes to make sure they are all there?" Hermione was woken up by the quiet chatter taking place between her handsome husband and her newborn baby girl. She peeked open an eye to see Cedric holding the baby awkwardly in his large arms.
She quickly shut her eye when Cedric looked over at her and smiled, "Sweet baby girl," he said gently to the cooing, petite babe in his arms, "I hope that you are going to grow up to be just like your Mum." He bent down to plant a kiss on her tiny little forehead.
"Your Mum is amazing!" he continued, "She's beautiful, smart and brave."
Hermione's heart was full to overflowing with the obvious love shown by her husband. She had known ever since the end of the fourth year, when Harry and Cedric made it out alive; that despite Voldemort's return, things would be different for her and Cedric.
Harry spent as much time with Cedric as possible, which consequently meant Cedric spent an enormous amount of free time with Hermione as well. He did not see her as Harry's brainy friend anymore
Cedric's last year at Hogwarts changed things for the couple. Cedric, being Head Boy and Hermione, being a Gryffindor prefect, spent even more time together. Soon, they knew their friendship had grown into something more…love. As soon as Hermione finished her schooling they became engaged
Sometimes they would discuss about having children; "So how many children do you want, Cedric?" Hermione asked one evening. They were lying in a hammock in Hermione's backyard.
As Cedric held Hermione in his arms, he looked down at her, "Why I haven't thought much about children," he confessed.
Hermione giggled, "I have to say I have thought about it…a lot," she hugged Cedric tightly, "It has been on my mind more since we have been together."
Cedric, while lying there, thought about how their children would look. "Do you think she would have your curly hair?" He asked as he ran his hands through her riotous curls; imagining a little Hermione running through the yard with tiny curls bouncing around her face.
"Maybe he will have your height," she suggested, "Please let's hope he doesn't get gifted with mine." That brought a laugh from deep inside Cedric's chest.
"How many do you want?" he asked cautiously, not wanting to say the wrong thing before he heard her answer.
Hermione was quiet for awhile and then blurted out her answer, "I really want to have two or more," she sat up to look him in the eyes, "I do not want it to be an only child like I was."
Cedric nodded, "I agree with you." It was lonely not having a sibling to play and argue with. They smiled at one another.
"I am so glad that we agree about this." Hermione bent down to press her lips gently to Cedric's. She teased them softly until she was able to enter his mouth. Pressing together, they deepened the kiss feeling the tingling their closeness was creating.
Breaking the kiss Cedric muttered out, "So two children for the Diggory family," and he leaned up to kiss his future wife.
Before his lips had met their target, Hermione put two fingers on his lips, "Umm…maybe three…right?" she asked innocently while batting her eyelashes.
Pulling her down, back to him, he conceded, "Yes, two for sure, maybe three." With a look of triumph on her face, Hermione kissed him to show her happiness.
Hermione heard her sweet baby girl cooing and making her tiny baby noises. "If you keep talking like that," Cedric leaned down to touch noses with his firstborn, "you will wake your Mum for sure."
Hermione had always known that Cedric would be a good father. On their wedding day this had been confirmed. As they took their normal wedding and bonding vows, Cedric stopped the ceremony, "I would like to add something," he had cleared his throat while Hermione turned to look at Ginny; both their eyes questioned what he could be up to.
From behind them they heard Ron whisper loudly, "Hope he didn't change his mind." Hermione turned around to glare at him, "Maybe he finally realized her overbearing ways."
Lavender reached over and smacked her husband on the arm," Shut your mouth, Ron!" and then she smacked him again.
Cedric took Hermione's face and turned her back towards him. Clearing his throat again he started, "I knew when we first discussed how frozen Ashwinder eggs are quite valuable, as they serve as ingredients in love potions or may be eaten whole as a cure for ague. Then you also knew that Ashwinder eggs are so flammable that they will ignite a dwelling within minutes if they are not frozen as soon as possible; I knew that you were the one for me." The audience all laughed, knowing that Hermione had found her perfect intellectual match in Cedric Diggory.
"When we grew closer and realized we were falling in love, we discussed having children some day." Hermione beamed as she realized he still remembered their conversations and had taken them to heart. "I knew as you talked about having two or three," Cedric laughed, "I remember, my sweet, you want three children," Hermione's eyes pooled with happy tears.
Rubbing her cheek again Cedric continued, "I could see those delightful children running around and I knew that I had to be the father of those children. I could never let you go or let someone else be the father to those children." He laughed again while saying, "I even imagined them running around with your wild hair and my good looks." Now that brought loud laughter from all present and huge snorts from Harry and Ron.
"I want to be your husband, your friend and lover. I want to be the father to your children."
"You mean "our" children, Cedric," Hermione smiled up at him with love that shone from the top of her head down to her toes. There was no question from those watching, even Ron and Harry, that Hermione and Cedric were meant to be together.
"I love you, Hermione. You are the one that I need and want," Cedric leaned down to give her a long lingering kiss.
Ginny spoke up, "Now none of that until the end…you know rules and all." Hermione just smiled at her good friend and turned back to Cedric.
Hermione spoke next, "I have to admit, ever since the Tri-Wizard Tournament I knew I really fancied you…along with every other girl at Hogwarts; out of all of the champions," she looked over at Harry, "Sorry, Harry, no offense here, but I secretly hoped that Cedric would win." Cedric chuckled at her statement. Harry acted all offended, "Yes, this coming from my best friend. "
"Harry!" Ginny hissed at him from Hermione's side, "Shhh…you are ruining the moment."
Hermione just winked at Ginny, "Let's see, where was I? I have always been drawn to your intelligence, your wisdom, your honor, your bravery and…" she said with a twinkle in her eye, "You are a bit of a dish…any female within your proximity would agree." Even though Cedric was well aware of his good looks, he still blushed at Hermione's words.
"I vow to you this day, Cedric, I will love you and stay faithful to you." Hermione choked up having to stop so she could hold back the tears. "I feel so proud that I am going to be your wife." Cedric was mesmerized by Hermione's smile as she spoke.
'I am so lucky that I get to be the mother of your children." Hermione then did start crying and could say no more. The officiator finished the ceremony with the magical bonding; Cedric and Hermione, hand in hand, as bright gold strands of light wrapped three times around their wrists. As soon as the bonding was finished, the gold strands disappeared and a feeling of heat from top to bottom washed over them.
"Now you may share your first kiss as husband and wife." Cedric reached out sliding his arms around Hermione's waist and proceeded to kiss her, and kiss her, and kiss her.
"Oi, come up for air, you two," Ron shouted out.
"Gods, Ron, do you always have to embarrass me?" squeaked Lavender.
Finally, Cedric and Hermione broke apart, blushing and very warm. Cedric leaned down and whispered into Hermione's ear, "Too bad we can't go straight to our Wedding Night," and he winked at her.
Hermione quietly said back, "Do you think anyone would notice if we were missing?" She reached up to kiss him again until Hermione's Mum came over to escort them to the Wedding Feast.
Later that night the newlyweds were finally alone. They were in a suite at a magical hotel in Venice, Italy. They had left the party early and port keyed to Venice. From there, a private speedboat had brought them to the Venetian Palace.
As they closed the door Cedric set down the luggage. Hermione looked around the huge room, "Can you believe this?" she asked with excitement. "It is so beautiful here!"
As she turned to face Cedric she stopped, started chewing on her fingernail and shyly looked at him, "What" she asked him?
Cedric was standing there with a warm smile and a gleam in his eyes. "The only beautiful thing I see…is standing right in front of me."
Hermione sighed and smiled back at him, "Have I told you today how much I love you?"
Cedric pulled her to him, "No, I don't think you have…enough." He ran his hand down the side of her face, along her collarbone and down her chest. "Maybe you should show me." His fingers left a trail of sparks as he caressed her skin. They both wanted tonight to be special. It had been mutually decided to wait to make love until they were married. Now that they were married, Hermione was trying to not let her nerves take over.
As Cedric's hands continued to roam over her curves, he pressed himself flush against his bride. Suddenly Hermione pushed Cedric away, "I want you to stop," and she looked up into his very shocked eyes. She could tell that her words had hurt him. "No, Cedric, I want you… tonight," she pushed back a lock of wavy hair that had fallen into his eyes.
"I want to change into something special that the girls bought for me to wear tonight." Cedric eyes rose with interest, "Who bought you the gift?" he asked.
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Ginny and Lavender; they said I couldn't open it until tonight." At this, Cedric started laughing. Hermione laughed with him, "I know! I am worried what's inside the package."
Hermione pulled out a tiny box and enlarged it. Cedric tried to reach out to peek inside. "No," she said and hugging it to her, "I am going to go change into it now." While Hermione was in the other room changing, Cedric noticed the bottle of champagne chilling by the king-sized canopy bed, a plate of chocolate covered strawberries, a fire warming the room and the smell of scented candles wafting about.
Cedric changed into a pair of silk pajama bottoms Harry and Ron insisted he buy. He paced nervously around the room waiting for Hermione to emerge. He heard Hermione screech from the other room, "I can't wear this!" Cedric just shook his head laughing; silently thanking Ginny and Lavender for whatever "thing" they had bought for Hermione that was making her squirm. It would only mean more fun for him.
"Cedric…are you out there?" Hermione asked shyly from the other side of the door.
"Where else would I be?" he sat on the bed wondering if he would have to coax her out of the dressing room. He looked over to see Hermione's eye peeking through a slit of the door.
"What if I close my eyes, then you can come out?" Cedric was beginning to wonder if he would need to extinguish all of the lights in the room. Cedric closed his eyes, "My eyes are closed…you can come out now."
Cedric heard the door creak open and close. Then he heard her walk over to the bed and clear her throat. "You can open your eyes now…I guess," she spoke so quietly he could hardly hear her.
Cedric opened his eyes and before he could even think, blurted out, "Bloody hell!" He had never seen Hermione more stunning, even in her wedding gown earlier today. Hermione apprehensively stood there in a short satin baby doll nightgown. It was white with a side split and had a lacy hem. The gown barely covered her and was skin tight. The bottom skimmed the top of her thighs and the sheer lace on the bodice barely covered her breasts and her nipples were clearly showing. The gown was held on by tiny straps, and the ensemble was complete with a matching, crotch-less g-string. Hermione was striking. He now was so hard; he wouldn't be able to move; except to do one thing. He would need to send a thank you owl to Ginny and Lavender after their honeymoon.
Hermione stood there wondering what Cedric was thinking; he hadn't said a word. Cedric reached up and took her hand in his, "Gods, Hermione, you look amazing!" She smiled and breathed easier knowing that she looked OK.
Cedric slid up higher on the bed and motioned for Hermione to come to him, "I need you up here," he said in a husky voice. Even though he wanted her now, he knew he had to take things slow. Cedric opened the champagne and the cork went flying across the room. Despite being nervous about this night, they both laughed. He poured the champagne, handing Hermione the flute of bubbly. She sipped and then giggled, "I think the bubbles just went up my nose." Cedric warned her, "Don't drink it too fast."
As Cedric fed Hermione one of the chocolate covered strawberries she moaned, "Oh, that is so good! I want another one." Cedric lay there watching her devouring the strawberries and wished she was devouring something else
"Aren't you going to have one? Here try one…" and she placed the tip of the strawberry in his mouth. As they lay there side by side, their legs intertwined, Cedric quickly ate the rest of the strawberry. He grabbed Hermione's chocolate covered finger and sucked it into his mouth. He closed his eyes while savoring the flavor of Hermione and chocolate. Opening his eyes he saw a very aroused Hermione smiling at him. "Here, this one has chocolate on it too," and she offered him another finger. With laughing eyes, he proceeded to suck on the offered finger. Hearing her moan again was his undoing. Sliding on top of her he slowly kissed along the length of her neck. Reaching down he sucked on her earlobe, sending shockwaves down her body. While nudging her legs apart he tenderly caressed her hips and thighs.
Looking up into Cedric's face she could see all of the love and want etched there. Cedric, in turn, could see real trust and need in her face.
They came together meeting in a passionate and bruising kiss. Grinding into his love he could feel her newly unbridled passion. Hermione ran her hands from Cedric's muscular shoulders, down his chest, and to his firm stomach.
Cedric kissed lightly down the side of Hermione's neck and to her collarbone. With eager fingers, he slid the straps of her gown off of her shoulders. Pulling the bodice down, Cedric admired her firm, round breasts that sprang free. In one swift movement, he bent to taste her, sucking on the hard nipples standing firm.
As he switched to the other side, he licked a path across, to feast on the other breast All normal thought had left their brains as they were consumed with each other. Soon, the nightgown was tossed on the floor with Cedric's silk night pants. Skin against skin had never felt so good as now when Cedric tenderly entered Hermione It was just as wonderful as they had imagined and well worth the wait.
As they came down off of their highs and recovered from their release, Cedric panicked, "We forgot a contraceptive spell," he grabbed his wand but was stopped by Hermione. "It's fine, Ced," she said breathing heavily, noticing the sweat trickling down the side of Cedric's face, "I want us to try and get pregnant right away."
Cedric lifted her up to straddle him; her legs wrapped around his hips. "Cedric, I want a baby, please tell me that you agree?" Hermione's heart beat quickly as she waited for his answer. She watched him intently as he thought deeply about her proposal. Her hands slid up and down his slick back, while his muscles rippled underneath her fingers.
Finally, he answered her, "On one condition…if we spend most of our honeymoon working on this proposal."
With a lopsided grin Hermione saucily said, "I think I could make that sacrifice…except I want to go on at least one gondola ride before we leave."
"Deal," he said giving her one of his sexy smiles, "It has already been arranged for tomorrow night." Hermione squealed and threw herself at Cedric pushing him back on the bed landing on top of him.
"Are you ready for more?" she asked him with excitement as she started kissing down his chest.
"Soon, my love, just keep kissing me for now." Cedric closed his eyes as his felt his body heating up again, thinking about more lovemaking that would be happening this night. While Hermione kissed Cedric and thought about the baby they could possibly be creating soon.
Next chapter: Hermione was so scared, but she needed to know. Could it have finally happened? Was she finally pregnant? She would know the truth in a few minutes…
