Chapter Seventeen: The End is Near

Pregnancy had a way of making a woman miserable when she was forty one weeks pregnant in the height of summer. Hermione made that very clear over and over and over again as she watched Severus ready his classroom for the next school term. The students weren�t expected for another three weeks yet but with the baby coming he figured it would be better to be prepared early. Hermione had tended to her own classroom over a month ago in a fit of uncontrollable organization that Severus still didn�t understand.

He did pity her. She had gotten rather big and despite the fact that he found her beautiful it had to be uncomfortable, especially now that the baby had dropped and was settled low in her pelvis. She turned from the potions cupboard where she had been helping him organize ingredients and waddled towards him. He dared not laugh at her awkward gait or she would surely hex him into the middle of next week.

He stopped what he was working on and rested against the edge of his desk. Why was it that the sight of her made his heart race? How had a woman, who not even nine months ago had meant nothing to him, suddenly become the center of his universe? How was it that he could look at her, her body swollen with child, and think her the most beautiful thing he had ever seen? What had happened to him?

�Here, I made a list of things you need to restock.� She laid a piece of parchment on his desk and caught his stare. �Why are you looking at me like that?�

�How am I looking at you?� He asked as she awkwardly lowered herself into his chair and slid her feet out of her slippers. She had taken to wearing her house shoes when they weren�t leaving the castle because her feet had a tendency to swell and all of her other shoes were too tight.

�I don�t know. It�s because I�m as big around as I am tall isn�t it?� She grumbled. �Big fat pregnant witch who can�t walk from one end of a room to the other without being out of breath and in need of a nap.�

�It won�t be long now.� He said, hoping like hell he was right. She was moody and right unpleasant at times.

�Liar. I�m already a week overdue. This baby is never coming out. It�s as stubborn and anti-social as you are! I am going to be pregnant for all eternity. A big whale of a witch who pees when she laughs. Or coughs or sneezes.� She winced as sharp pains shot down her legs.

Severus had to fight the urge to remind her that she had wanted this, had gone to great lengths for it in fact. He may not be experienced in relationships but he knew enough to know that you asked for it was a surefire way to earn a trip to the proverbial doghouse. Instead he knelt at her feet and began to gently massage her calves and feet. With a little whimper she closed her eyes and relaxed into his touch.

�I understand that you are frustrated and uncomfortable, Hermione. I wish I could take away the discomfort, do something to make you feel better.� He said, praying his words would comfort her and not irritate her. It was always a gamble of late. She opened one eye and a sly grin spread slowly across her lips.

�Do you mean that?� She asked.

�I wouldn�t have offered if I didn�t.� He said, wary of the glint in her eyes. �What is on your mind?�

�Come with me.� She said seductively. The sultry tone lost its effect a bit when he had to help her out of the chair but he made sure not to let on. She led him by the hand out of the classroom and through the halls to the prefect�s bathroom. Without a word she locked the door and began filling the large, sunken pool of a tub with warm water and scented bubbles.

Severus knew at once what was on the witch�s mind and immediately grew hard. Her advanced state of pregnancy had done nothing to dampen his desire for her. There was probably a level of hell reserved for perverts and lechers like him who lusted after a woman so far gone with child. Not that any pregnant woman could make him feel that way, it was only her. For the first time since Lily it wasn�t the physical that stirred him, well not only the physical, there was a connection between them that aroused him on an intellectual level. The soft, round curves of her body didn�t exactly put him off however.

She wasted little time removing her clothes and stepping down into the tub. He watched her twist her hair into a knot atop her head and cast a spell to secure it. He was struck by the beauty of the moment. Her standing hip deep in the tub, her arms behind her head, the smooth curve of her belly and breasts revealed. It was like looking at a work of art, but far more moving because she was his.

She turned towards him expectantly and he began to undress. She didn�t appear to blink as she watched him. It was always that way with her. Severus knew he wasn�t a traditionally handsome man, he never had been and never would be, but the way she looked at him made him feel that maybe he was wrong. She never seemed to get enough of looking at him, touching him, kissing him. It was overwhelming at times to have someone wanting him, needing him, but it also felt incredibly right.

He stepped into the tub and joined her near the center, his arms going around her waist to pull her close. She nuzzled her nose into his chest, breathing deeply of his minty scent for a moment before sliding her tongue over the flat disk of his nipple. He filled his hands with her bottom and squeezed, pulling her tight against him as she explored his chest with her lips. Her hands were on his back, her little nails raking lightly down his spine and causing him to shiver as his skin prickled.

�You are teasing now.� He said walking backwards in the tub and pulling her with him. He sat on the bench beneath the water and pulled her forward to stand between his open thighs. Her hands landed on his shoulders and began to knead gently as he curled his tongue around her sensitive, burgeoning nipples. His hands caressed her back and bottom, circling, massaging, soothing. He sucked at her breasts, the distended tips swelling more beneath the onslaught of his mouth.

�Mmmm�..Severus, that feels so good.� She moaned, swaying towards him. He released her nipple from his mouth and captured it with his fingers as he pulled her down for a kiss. He sucked her lower lip, nipping it lightly before plunging his tongue into her mouth in search of hers. Her knees buckled when he sucked on her tongue and she fell into him.

�Turn around.� He whispered urging her to turn her back to him. She protested a little as she preferred looking at him when they made love but she trusted him and understood that her altered shape made it necessary to get creative. He slid down on the bench so that his backside was at the very edge and urged her to straddle him. With one arm wrapped around her middle just below her breasts he urged her to lie back against his chest.

The position allowed his hands easy access to every inch of her. He stroked her belly, her breasts, her thighs and the warm, wet delta between. When she was wriggling and pleading in his lap he carefully entered her with a long, sure stroke. Her hand curled back around his neck and she turned her head so that she could kiss him, albeit awkwardly as he thrust into her steadily. Her position and awkward shape made it difficult for her to move so she just relaxed against him and let him lead. Soon she would have her body back and she would make it up to him a thousand times over.

He never got tired of feeling her snug heat wrapped around him. He hadn�t exactly been a monk but sex had never been as good as it was with her and something told him that it would only get better when the limitations were lifted. She was moaning loudly, her head rolling against his shoulder as he stroked into her from below. The new angle caused a different, intense friction on the underside of his cock and he knew that he wouldn�t last long. So he slipped a hand below her belly and delved into the swollen folds of her sex in search of what she refers to as her �pleasure button�.

A few deft strokes and she was wailing her release, her hands fisted painfully in his hair. A few more thrusts into her clasping heat and he joined her with a rough shout of his own. She went lax in his arms and if he hadn�t been holding her she would probably have slid beneath the water.

�Feeling better?� He asked against her ear, stroking her belly and feeling the little thumps of their child growing restless.

�Mmmmmhmmmm. You are better than a calming potion.� She sighed.

�Come, let�s go back to my quarters and have a lie down, you need to rest.� She grunted in protest as he urged her from the tub and wrapped her in a thick, fluffy towel before casting a disillusionment spell on both of them, gathering their clothing and leading her through the halls to his rooms. He tucked her into his bed and joined her, spooning up behind her and holding her tight as they drifted off.

When Severus finally roused her it was already dinner time. They had slept most of the afternoon away. It was unusual for Severus to sleep during the day, he had only intended to lie beside her and hold her while she rested. He must have needed the rest.

Dressed and hungry they made their way to the great hall to join the others. It was always so quiet without the students yammering at their table. Soon the peaceful mealtimes would be over and they would once again be forced to eat and monitor behavior at the same time.

Severus opened the door and let her pass, then held out his arm to help her waddle up the three steps leading to the dais. He stepped around her to get her chair and noticed that she was frozen in place at the top of the steps.

�Come sit down.� He said, wondering why she was just standing there with wide eyes.

�I can�t.� She grunted.

�What do you mean you can�t? Come sit down, Hermione.� He frowned as they began to draw attention from the others.

�I can�t! It hurts!� She grunted again, her hands coming up to clutch her abdomen. She closed her eyes as the tightening of her abdomen eased and the pain ebbed away. �Severus?� She looked up, her eyes suddenly full of fear as fat tears rolled onto her cheeks.

�Alright, it�s alright.� He soothed, putting his arm around her shoulders and leading her to her chair. �Here, have some water.� He put a glass into her hand and tried to figure out what to do.

�Severus, let me see her.� Poppy said gently as she laid her hand on his shoulder and moved him aside. �Hermione, how are you dear?� She asked, kneeling beside her chair.

�I�m scared.� She said quietly.

�Was that your first contraction?� Poppy asked, withdrawing her wand and pointing it at Hermione�s abdomen.

�Yes, I didn�t expect it to hurt that much! The books said it was like menstrual cramps, a tightening feeling. That didn�t feel like cramps at all!� She was shaking as she brought the glass of water back to her lips.

�Well the baby is in the right position and your water hasn�t broken so I would say this is the beginning of your labor.� Poppy smiled. �Soon you will get to meet the child you so desperately wanted.�

That brought a nervous smile to Hermione�s lips and she looked up at Severus. He had gone pale, paler than was normal for him.

�I suppose we should go then.� He said, his voice quiet and monotone.

�There is no rush. She seems fine for now; you can remain in the castle until her contractions are about five minutes apart. Water is fine and a little food won�t do you any harm so long as you keep it light.� Poppy said. �I am here if you need me.�

�Thank you, Poppy. I think I would like to go back to my quarters, Severus.� She said tremulously.

�Of course.� He helped her up from the chair, keeping his arm around her. Not that she needed the support, she wasn�t in pain at the moment but he needed to touch her.

�I�ll have a tray sent up for you both.� Minerva was smiling, her excitement obvious. �Oh my, we are going to have a baby in the castle!� She gushed.

Severus was too numb to be irritated by their chatter. He just wanted to get her to her quarters and off her feet so he could wrangle his wildly roaming thoughts. They made it about half way when she stopped, her body rigid and her face turning red.

�Don�t hold your breath!� He said, holding her upright. He laid his hand on her belly and felt it tighten with the contraction.

�Hurts�.oh god it hurts�� She groaned, clutching his sleeve.

�What can I do?� He felt helpless.

�You do it�you have the baby.� She moaned as the contraction ebbed.

�What can I do that is actually possible?� He held her as she sagged against him and breathed deeply.

�Just don�t leave me, Severus, please don�t leave me.� She sighed.

�I won�t, I promise.� He kissed the top of her head. �That was eight minutes from the other one. We should get to your quarters and gather your things so we are ready.�

Hermione clung to his arm as he guided her the remainder of the way to her rooms. After settling her onto the couch he went to her bedchamber and retrieved the bag she had ready to go.

�Severus, there is a beige nappy bag in the baby�s room!� She called. He retrieved the bag and then returned to the sitting room.

He paced nervously, unable to eat anything from the tray that Minerva had sent. With every contraction his heart seemed to stop until it was over, and then stutter back into action painfully until the next one. It was really quite horrible to see the woman you care about in such pain and be helpless to stop it.

�How long was that?� She asked.

�Six minutes.� He croaked.

�You should owl Harry. By the time they get it we should be at the hospital.� She said, closing her eyes and trying to rest between the contractions. She was a bit calmer than in the beginning. She had read everything she could find on pregnancy and childbirth so she was prepared for what was to come, even if the books had been misleading as to the severity of the pain.

She watched Severus as he sat at her desk and scrawled a note to Harry that she hoped would be legible. She had figured out that the best thing for Severus was to keep him busy otherwise he would pace incessantly. Any other time she might think that his worry was sweet, but she hurt, badly, and his behavior was annoying.

By the time he sent the owl on its way her contractions had moved to five minutes apart and were becoming increasingly unbearable. He gathered up her and the baby�s bags and helped her up from the sofa. He seemed relieved as they stepped through the floo and into the hospital.

�Oh my goodness.� Hermione said softly as they stepped onto the lift.

�Are you alright?� He asked immediately his eyes wide with concern.

�When we walk out of this hospital there will be three of us.� She said just as the lift doors slid closed.
