Chapter 17:

"I'm huge," Hermione complained to her friends, several months later, placing a spoonful of ice-cream into her mouth, and with the other hand scratching the back of her lovely kitten; which was purring in relaxation.

"You are not huge, and you are not fat, you are just pregnant," said Kate as gently as she could, because Hermione was very snappish…sometimes, that is.

"But look at this," she pointed to her round belly, and pouted, "just LOOK! The baby will be the death of me. I can't dance, I can't walk an hour straight because my legs and back hurt, and I'm as horny as hell! And I have no one to take care of me," with a huff she took another spoonful of ice-cream and looked out of the window of her bedroom.

"But you are beautiful, and the 'horniness' comes from you being pregnant, that's it," said Emma lightly and looked at her manicured nails.

"One day you'll get pregnant and understand what I'm going through," snapped Hermione.

"Well, thankfully I won't get pregnant, because I can't, there's nothing inside of me that will be the cause that I got pregnant," said Emma and looked at Hermione, with raised eyebrow.

"Of course not! The doctor told me that I can't get pregnant, and now look!"

"But she said you had only three percent of chance to get pregnant, so stop sulking and enjoy your pregnancy, they say it's a very pleasant experience," said Emma and tilted her head to the side to get an affirmation from Kate; she nodded. "There!" said Emma and pointed at Kate.

And like a child, Hermione's mood changed into a very loving and caring and kind mother. She smiled and rubbed a hand on her belly, "It is a very beautiful experience. I can even feel when the baby moves," she then slowly let her hand fall on her lap and look sadly at her belly.

"What's the matter?" asked Emma, cautiously.

"It's just…I wonder, what's he doing now? I haven't seen him…for awhile. I don't even know how he is; I don't even know what happened to him and Tonks…" Hermione sighed and to her horror her emotions got the better of her and her eyes filled with tears, "I don't know what I'm going to do, how I am going to raise the baby without a father…"

Emma and Kate exchanged an uncomfortable look. Kate took Hermione's hand in hers and squeezed it. Hermione looked up when Kate spoke, "Sweetie, you know that we, I mean Sirius, Draco, Harry and Emma told you that we'll be with you the whole time, and you know that we meant it, right?" Hermione gave a small nod, and bit her lip when a small sob left her lips.

Emma moved and sat beside her and gave her one-armed hug, kissed her temple and said, "Of course I won't change the baby's diaper."

Hermione laughed and instantly felt better. She loved her friends; they could make her feel so much better than she was feeling.

There was a knock on the door, and Emma jumped up into her feet with a shout of "Coming!" and in a lower voice she said, "Which I haven't, since like…yesterday morning?"

"Oh…the shock of it must be killing you," said Kate sarcastically, and Hermione giggled as Emma stuck out her tongue at Kate, childishly.

They sat in silence as they listened to Emma's footsteps as she neared the door. And they heard her laugh and say, "Oh I didn't know you were coming, if I knew…I'd get myself look at least a bit descent."

Hermione and Kate looked at one another and they rolled their eyes. They heard a low chuckle and the both of them looked at Hermione's bedroom closed door. A few minutes later, Sirius came in and smiled at them. Kate leaped to her feet and ran towards him; hugging him around the neck and kissing his cheek.

"Hey Sirius," Hermione said and took another spoonful of ice-cream.

"Hey beautiful," said Sirius and walked towards her bed, he leaned in and kissed the top of her head. When he pulled back, Hermione smiled at him, and he sat next to her; Kate and Emma sat at the foot of the bed, looking at them both, a small smile on their faces. "How are you doing? I hope you are fine, because I'm throwing a small party at my place, and I was hoping you'd come too. It's going to be just a small 'friendly' dinner, or something."

"What's the occasion?" asked Emma and tilted her head to the side.

"Draco and Harry finally adopted a little newborn beautiful girl," replied Sirius cheerfully.

"Oh my God, really?" squeaked Kate and grinned at Sirius.

"Yeah," said Sirius, and smiled proudly, "So," Sirius looked at Hermione, "Are you coming or what?"

"I'd love too," said Hermione and smiled again, "but…just to be sure, is he going to be there too?"

"I asked him to come too, but I don't know if he will…why? Don't tell me that you won't come because of him," threatened Sirius and narrowed his eyes on her.

"No, no! Of course I'll come, I was just…making sure," said Hermione in a low voice.

Sirius looked at Hermione for a minute, and then looked at Emma and Kate, "How are you two? Will you come too?"

"Yeah," said Emma.

"Sure," smiled Kate and turned to Emma, "Aren't we supposed to be at work already?"

"Yeah, right," said Emma hurriedly and stood up from bed, "We'll see you, later tonight, yeah?"

Sirius and Hermione nodded, and Kate and Emma walked towards them, kissing them good-bye, and with a wave they walked out of the room. They heard the front door closed, Hermione sighed. Stretching, she pulled the bowl of ice cream to her and curled up to Sirius' side; he in turn, hugged her close to him and rested his head on top of hers, as she buried her face at the crook of his neck. Sirius lightly scratched Hermione's kitten's head, and smiling to himself as he heard him purr.

Hermione sighed and closed her eyes, loving the feeling of Sirius hugging her to him; he was so much gentle with her that she almost forgot who it was. She kissed his neck slowly, and heard him sigh beside her. He squeezed her upper arm, when her kiss turned into a suckling. "Hermione," he whispered.

When she heard him say her name, she froze. This was Sirius. Not Remus. With a blush she pulled herself back and averted her gaze from him. "Oh, sorry," she mumbled, not meeting his eyes.

"Don't be," soothed Sirius, "I just don't want you to do anything that you'll blame yourself later, do you understand?" he tilted her head up by her chin, forcing her to look at him.

Hermione nodded, and said, "Yeah, of course. It's just the hormones, that's all."

"Hermione? Is there anything you want to tell me?" asked Sirius, hesitantly, looking Hermione in the eye.

"No…nothing," she answered hesitantly back, averting her gaze from him.

"There is…tell me…"

Hermione sat in silence and looked up at Sirius once again, "Whatever I'm going to ask you, please don't let anyone know that it's untrue. Ok?"

Hermione was getting ready to head out already when the doorbell rung again. With a sigh and a huff she heaved herself up from her chair, where she sat to pull her jeans up, she wobbled towards the door. Opening it she smiled brightly as she saw Harry carrying a small bundle of something cloth in his arms, Draco standing just behind Harry, and smiling at her. With a gasp she stumbled forward and moved the cloth off the baby's face.

"Aaawww…" she cooed when she saw the girl baby sleeping soundly in Harry's arms, breathing softly and fast, "Harry, she's so beautiful! And look at her hair! It's…" she blinked and looked at Harry, "It's black! Harry…"

"Wait till you'll see her eyes, I can't even explain what color are they exactly, but…we love it," Harry's voice held so much love that Hermione grinned at the both men with their lovely child. The baby was their adoptive child that they so wanted. She was happy for them, after so many years and months they fought for this moment, and now they got what they were looking for.

"I'm sure you do," Hermione murmured and touched her cheek loving. The baby squirmed under her fingertips. "Come on in," she ushered them into her apartment, and closed the door after them. "Go to the living room, I'll be ready in a minute."

She quickly walked to her room and changed her pyjama shirt into a T-Shirt which said "I love my baby!", she wore her sneakers and stood up from her chair once more, her hair was tousled with laziness of the day so she ran her fingers through it just to make sure that it was more presentable than 'I just got out of the bed', she applied some small make-up and gave her once over, patting her belly, she turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

"I'm ready," she announced as she walked into the living room. The baby was now in Draco's arm who was watching her rather nervously. "You look cute Draco," Hermione teased and walked towards the couple.

"I'm not cute," mumbled Draco, completely smitten by the baby.

"Yeah, right," whispered Harry. He couldn't look away from his love and his new-found love.

Hermione looked at them for a minute longer than clapped her hands together, telling them to move their butts already. As Hermione wobbled her way down the building stairs, listening idly to Harry and Draco talking about what they were going to do with her once they got to Sirius' home, Hermione's own child gave a funny little kick. With a gasp she gripped the railings with one hand, the other automatically moved to her belly, rubbing it smoothly. Hearing her gasp Harry and Draco whipped around and looked up at her.

"Hermione, are you ok?" asked Harry, his voice filled with concern.

"Yeah," she took a deep breath and blew it out, "I'm ok. The baby just kicked really hard, that's all."

The both of them visibly relaxed, and started down the stairs once again, Hermione swallowed and walked down with them. The baby had a real strength in it, and she was starting to agree with her own theory; her baby was going to have a bit of wolf blood in it. The baby's father was a werewolf, so it was obvious that the kid would have something in it, right? Hermione sighed heavily as the cool day's air hit her face.

"Catch a taxi, babe, will you?" said Draco and kissed Harry's temple lovingly. Harry nodded and quickly whistled as a taxi drove right in front of them. He quickly jogged towards it, opened up the door and helped Draco to get in with the baby still in his arms, and then helping Hermione in he closed the door and sat at the front seat of the taxi, giving the driver directions.

Few minutes later, they pulled in front of Sirius' building and walked out of the car. They quickly walked up the stairs and knocked on the door. Seconds later the door was wrenched open and Kate was beaming at them.

"Hi," she said happily and kissed them all on the cheeks as she let them inside. "Oh my God," she squeaked minutes later when she saw the baby, "Harry she is beautiful! Ooohh…" she cooed when the baby gave a small sleepy gurgle and shifted a bit in Draco's arms, holding a fist close to her chin.

"I know, she'll be a smart girl," Draco said affectionately, gazing down at her face lovingly.

"Oh she will," came a voice behind them. Sirius walked towards the small party patting Kate at her back, he looked down at the small bundle and a soft 'oh' left his lips. He, as the others, was completely smitten by her.

The party moved into his living room, Hermione quickly sat on the sofa, sighing happily as her back slowly relaxed. Draco and Harry sat at the love seat; Kate went back to the kitchen to check the chicken again, Sirius walked towards Draco and Harry and indicated that he wanted to hold the baby girl. Draco slowly eased her in Sirius' arms, and Hermione watched, amazed, as his face transpired into one of the loving and caring father figure he could've been, if he had his own children that is. He looked calm, but alert at the same time. He was cool at ease with the baby, careful not to disturb her. "What's her name? Have you decided on the name?" whispered Sirius.

"Well, we decided to call her…Lily," said Draco and looked around nervously.

"That's a beautiful name, guys," said Hermione and smiled as Draco visibly relaxed. He was kind of tense with using his lover's mum's name, after all Harry could get quiet emotional over the subject.

"I agree," came Sirius' low voice, "It will suit her."

Just then the front doorbell rung and Draco walked to open it. There were very familiar voices and Hermione's heart stilled. Part of her knew who it was, part of her wanted nothing more than just get away from here as soon as she could. Her breathing was ragged, her eyes moistened, and her baby was restless in her belly; as if it could sense a very familiar person close by. And sure enough; when Remus walked in to the living room, closely followed by Tonks, and when their eyes met the baby kicked so hard that Hermione's breath nearly left her completely. Her hands instantly flew to her belly and rubbed the place where the baby was kicking restlessly.

"Hermione?" Harry's meek voice sounded distant, as he slowly walked towards her and kneeled in front of her. "Are you alright?" he whispered.

Hermione nodded quickly, though she was not alright, the baby was really, really restless. "The baby is just restless, that's all. And I don't know why," whispered back Hermione and looked at Harry's green eyes, pleading him silently to take her away from the room, as long as she'll get better, they'd come back. She just needed a time alone to herself. Harry nodded and helped Hermione up to her feet.

"Oh," Hermione recognized Tonks' voice at once. "You're pregnant?" there was something in her voice that Hermione didn't like at all.

Hermione feeling tired and exhausted snapped, "Well as it seems so, or are you blind?"

Tonks jaw twitched in anger and she quickly looked at Remus, as if waiting for him to take her side or just to protect her, but Remus was not listening to anything, he was talking to Draco about his daughter. Tonks' whining brought Remus back to earth, and with an eye role from Hermione, her and Harry walked towards the guest room, and shut the door behind them. Hermione quickly walked towards the bed and sat on it. She tried to pull her legs up the bed, but couldn't, so Harry helped her. She smiled in thanks and sighed; the babies kicking and restlessness subsided in a few minutes. Hermione relaxed back and closed her eyes.

"Are you ok now?" asked Harry as he sat beside Hermione, holding her hand in his, rubbing her knuckles lovingly.

"mm…yes, I am. Thanks for bringing me here," murmured Hermione.

"Don't mention it," said Harry and smiled at her when she opened her eyes to look at him.

"Harry, the baby sensed him…Remus," said Hermione.

Harry in turn, furrowed his brow and looked down at their hands, "What do you mean?"

"When Remus got closer to the living room, the baby started to kick so hard as if it could make him feel.

"I wish you'd already know what genre it is," sighed Harry and smiled at Hermione as she beamed, "I hate calling him…or her a baby or it."

"I will Harry, tomorrow."

"That's great!"

"Yeah it is," said Hermione. There was a small knock on the door and Kate's head peaked in.

"Dinner's ready," she said.

"Coming," answered Harry and looked back at Hermione, as Kate left the room, "Are you going to be alright?"

"Sure," said Hermione. She was feeling better after stretching her legs a bit. Two months to go and the baby would be out of her once and for all, and she couldn't wait any longer. She could know what genre the baby could've been, like two months ago, but she didn't want to. But, like Harry said, it was a bit annoying already not to know what genre it was and calling it the baby or it was really, really frustrating. And then her thoughts ran back to Remus; he was as always dashing in his simple clothes. His hair was still the same, he still got the manner to himself, he still was awkward, same expression, same everything.

Hermione and Harry made it to the dinner room and as they seated themselves around the table, with horror Hermione realized that she was sitting right in front of Remus. They all started to eat and talk at once, and Hermione helped herself to anything she could reach; what? She was starving and she was pregnant.

And then came that part again; Remus-watching-game. It happened a lot when they were together…she liked just sitting right across from him and stare at his face, as he talked to one of his friends, mostly Sirius, and laughed softly, or just to watch him. His eyes would sparkle when he talked about the things that he most liked; books, or sweets. She knew him by her heart already. She liked the way he formed some words, making them to last a bit longer, and how his mouth would form an 'o' if he heard the latest news. And she knew the slight frown of his lips would only mean a slight discomfort; which was slowly forming on his lips as he turned his head to the side and saw a pink haired witch come and sat at his right side and slipped an arm to his and pecked on his cheek. He threw her a soft smile, though it didn't reach his eyes and she leaned up and whispered something into his ear, he gave a small nod and she smiled brightly up at him. He cleared his throat and all the talking stopped immediately. She knew that whatever he would tell would do no good and especially to her.

"Me and Dora would like to tell you something…important," he said, his voice a tad bit tense, but it seemed that only she could point it out. He cleared his throat again and took Tonks' hand in his, and said, "We decided to get married."

She felt like Nearly Headless Nick decided to take a small trip in her body, and decided to squeeze her heart in his way before leaving her. She felt like her breath had left her all at once, leaving her breathless. She could feel all eyes were on her, as she staggered up from her seat from the table, excused herself, and stumbled out of the dining room. Her eyes and mouth open in shock as the news finally sunk in and her shaking hands made their way to her round belly as she thought of the baby that was growing, steadily, as she made her way towards the front door to get away from there.

She barely made it out of the door when she heard her name calling from behind the closed doors. She quickly descended the stairs and started to walk down the road, not seeing where she was going, breathing heavily from her mouth, almost hysterically.

"Hermione!" it was Sirius. He caught up with her and embraced her tight to his chest.

"I…am…fine…" she gasped out, her hands rubbing her belly fervently trying to sooth the baby.

Sirius cupped Hermione's face in his hands and forced her to look at him, and what made him see there, nearly made his heart break in two. They were mirroring Kate's eyes; lifeless.
