AN2: SPOILER for this chapter, just saying! Okay, people... it's midnight here, so technically it's Saturday. I couldn't wait til later. To the person who doesn't 'approve' of the way I wrote this, or rather what I went with, so sorry, but I didn't use it as a way to keep them together. They have a lot of chemistry on their own. It's just an added bonus.

Seconds later, Hermione had flooed herself into the professor's sitting room and found him in an overstuffed armchair, waiting for her arrival. The lines on his face were deep with worry as he awaited the news she had come to tell him. But, they deepened further when he saw her face.

She looked pale and clammy, as she wobbled forward to set in the chair across from him. It was obvious she was feeling rather ill. What could she have come to tell him? Had she gained a bit of weight? He wasn't sure; it had been almost 2 months since he'd seen her.

She sat down with force on the chair across from him and wiped her brow. Her breath was heavy as she worked to catch it.

"What's wrong?" He found himself asking as she held a hand up, wanting him to wait.

The silence continued until she calmed herself enough to talk.

"Nothing to be alarmed about, Severus." She said, "It's what I came to tell you, actually." She told him.

There was more silence as she looked around the room.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Well, it's kind of hard to say." She said, finally looking him in the eye and then down at her lap, "Rather, it's hard to find the words to explain properly."

"You said it was urgent." He replied, "I assumed that meant you should tell me right away."

"Yes." Her face started to look a bit green, "Do you care if I use the lavatory?"

"Not at all. It's just through there. First door on the right." He pointed into a hallway, somewhat baffled by her odd behavior.

She stood and darted to the bathroom, much spryer then she seemed when she arrived. He sat there drumming his fingers on the arms of the chair with impatience. She sure was taking a long time, but he wasn't about to interrupt her.

He heard some retching in the bathroom followed by the sink and finally the toilet flushing. It's obvious she was sick. What if she had a disease that was slowly killing her? Maybe she came to ask him for help to look for a cure. That had to be it. Of course he would help! He loved her, after all.

She needed to rest. He wondered if it would be wrong of him to ask her to rest in his bed for a few hours.

As she was walking back into the room, he stood and turned toward her. Before she had a chance to speak, he did, "Hermione, I realize that whatever it is you plan to tell me is important but it occurs to me that you might not be feeling very well and I wonder if you might not accept my offer to rest on my bed while you work up the courage to tell me."

She looked at him with a thoughtful expression on her face before nodding.

He walked in front of her and led her down the hallway she had just came from and past a few more doors until the end of the hallway where there was a black door. He opened the door, stepped in, and turned on the light before motioning for her to enter.

The bedroom was much how she imagined it to be, the bed was huge with a lot of pillows. It was all done up in green, silver, and black. There wasn't much else in the way of decorations, a few Slytherin banners and two bookshelves full of books. There was a huge black arm chair beside his bed and a side table.

He pulled the blanket down and fluffed up a few pillows before motioning to her. She walked forward with a smile and climbed in bed, lying on her side.

He walked around to the other side of the bed a sat in the large chair.

"Now," He said after he got comfortable, "What is it you came at this time of night to tell me about?"

"It's really hard to tell you this, Severus." She told him, "I'm really not even sure how to begin. I've sat at home for weeks trying to figure it out. I've talked to my parents. I've talked to Ron's parents. I've talked to Ginny and Luna, but I don't know how to talk to you about this."

"Listen, I don't know what you're going to tell me, but if you've told all of them, why is it so hard to tell me?"

"You don't understand. You're the most important person that needs to know this." She started to cry and he leaned over to her and hugged her, unsure of what else he could do.

"Why? Are you dying?" He said his mind racing.

"NO!"

"Am I dying?"

"NO, though you might want to."

"That's preposterous, Miss Granger! I'm hardly suicidal!"

"Don't call me that!"

"I'm sorry, Hermione. I'm sorry. I just need you to tell me what has got you so worked up that you're here this time of night, in my bed, in my arms, crying!"

Hermione stopped her tears as quickly as she could and calmed her breathing. "Okay, get a hold of yourself Hermione." She said to herself.

"Calm down and tell me what you came to tell me. There's nothing that will make me love you any less, Hermione."

"Wait until you get the whole story and then tell me that." She laughed.

Severus raised his eyebrow in question.

"Okay. Here we go... Let me ask you a question. Do you... no. Have you ever thought about having children?"

Severus thought he swallowed his tongue.
