Chapter 24
Percy climbed into bed with Hermione, wrapping his arms around her. His hands rested on her bump and he grinned when he felt his little girl kiss.
"How did it go?" Hermione asked him.
"Okay. Mum cried a lot, but it was good. She needed to get it all out."
"That's good," Hermione replied. "I'm glad she finally made amends with you."
"All thanks to you," he whispered, pressing a kiss to her shoulder. "Whatever you said to her, Hermione, really woke her up."
"Well, someone needed to snap some sense into her," Hermione said, shifting in the bed. "People don't realize that their actions have consequences."
Percy nodded in agreement. "Ron was at the Burrow too. He wanted me to tell you thank you for giving him another chance. I told him to steer clear of you until you were ready to talk to him."
"Thank you, Percy. I don't know if I'll ever be able to really face him but maybe in time."
He buried his face in her curls, inhaling her sweet scent. "I don't know what I'd do without you, love."
Hermione grinned at the word of endearment. "I'm sure you'd be living your life just the way you are… only single."
"Well, we'll never know," Percy responded. "I'm a lucky man."
"Of course you are," Hermione responded teasingly. "You have a loving woman in your bed that is carrying your precious child."
"I have a very sexy woman in my bed," he corrected, nibbling on the soft spot beneath her ear.
Hermione shivered, wriggling her arse against him. "Percy," she giggled.
"Hermione," he said huskily, his hands sliding lower.
The next morning, Hermione quietly slipped out of bed. Sasha had said as long as she was careful, she could walk around a bit.
Hermione made her way to the baby's room. Everything was just about finished. The walls had been painted, the furniture put in its proper spot, and all the clothes had been folded and put away.
She ran her hands along the smooth wood of the crib, smiling softly. Her little one would be here soon. While she was still feeling nervous about the baby, she felt excited too.
Making her way to the rocking chair, Hermione sat down in it. Closing her eyes, she began to hum softly as she rocked back and forth.
That's how Percy found her. He smiled at the sight of his beautiful girlfriend, her hands resting on her bump as she rocked back and forth. The song she was humming was sweet and slow. He wondered if it was a Muggle song and made a mental note to ask her later.
Opening her eyes, Hermione saw Percy watching her. She smiled at him.
"You're beautiful," he said quietly.
Hermione snorted, still smiling. "No, I'm fat now."
Percy shook his head. "No, you're beautiful. The most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on."
She blushed at his words. "Did you ever think we'd end up here?"
"No. I never hoped or dream that you'd end up with me," Percy answered honestly. "You were too out of my league. But I've got you now, Hermione, and I'm never letting you go."
"Good, I don't want you to let me go, ever," she responded quietly. "I like this… What we have is wonderful. You make me so happy."
The ring in Percy's pocket felt heavy and he wanted nothing more to get down on his knee and ask her. But he held back. It wasn't the right moment. He knew when he wanted to do it and would hold off until then.
"Do you think she'll be happy when she gets here?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, I think she'll be very happy. She'll have a wonderful mother."
"And a wonderful father," Hermione said. Slowly, she stood. "Come on; let's go get something to eat."
Percy took her hand, relishing in the warmth of her small hand. "Okay," he said gently.
He silently vowed to savor every little moment with her. He'd never let her go.
