Hermione waited patiently in the boardroom. She was ready to start the meeting and Xander, Willow and Angel were 10 minutes late. Suddenly, she heard the door open and turned as it admitted her cousin and his friend Willow, followed by an attractive and pale skinned man that she assumed was Angel, CEO of Wolfram and Hart.
Beside her, Harry continued his conversation with Mr. Giles, completely oblivious to the people that had just entered the room. She elbowed him sharply in the ribs and he turned.
"Ow! Hermione, what was that for"¦." He stopped mid-sentence as the fire-haired goddess he had only three months ago gotten an annulment from entered the room. "Willow?"
"Harry!?" Willow cried in shock. "What are you doing here?"
"Wait," Ron stopped their exchange, "You two know each other?"
Willow blushed deeply. "Kind of. We sort off"¦.."
"Shagged?" Harry finished candidly, a smile lifting the corner of his mouth.
"Harry!" Hermione scolded in shock, watching as Willow's blush deepened. So THIS was the redhead from Las Vegas.
Xander, who had been standing in shock since Willow's exclamation at seeing who was in the room, suddenly found his voice.
"Wait, THIS is Harry? Harry Potter? Guy you married in Vegas, Father of your child Harry Potter?"
"XANDER!" both she and Angel yelled in disbelief at Xanders blatant disregard for keeping such private information secret.
Willow turned worriedly to look at Harry. The smile that had been beginning to form on his face had disappeared and he had gone quite pale.
"MARRIED?!" Ron and Hermione echoed through the silence that had formed at Xander's statement. They turned to their best friend, giving him a stunned look.
"We got it annulled the morning after okay?" Willow said weakly to Ron and Hermione. "No big deal."
"No big deal?" Hermione said in disbelief, turning to her. "Willow, you're a witch."
Willow's eyebrow rose at Hermione's statement. "So?"
"So," Harry broke in wearily, his hand going up to rub his eyes. "That means that we're still married. Marriages in the wizarding world are permanent." She looked at him blankly. "For life."
"You mean"¦" she said softly, "We're still married?" Harry nodded silently. Well, at least their child wasn't in any fear of being illegitimate. She felt the blood leaving her head and the room seemed to get colder. "Xander?"
"Yeah Wills?" Xander said gruffly from beside her, glaring sharply at the man who had knocked his best friend up. There was nothing he would like to do more than hit Harry Potter right now, but he wouldn't. Willow wouldn't approve. Maybe if Angel did it"¦"¦.
The black dots that had been forming in front of Willow's eyes began to get bigger and she knew that she wouldn't be standing up for long. "You better catch me. I think I'm gonna pass out."
And with that, she did, the dots in front of her eyes taking over her vision and the world going black.

She woke up on the couch in her office, desperately hoping that she had dreamt the entire encounter up. A hand passed over her forehead, brushing the hair of her damp brow. She opened her eyes and saw that she had her head in Harry's lap. No such luck.
"Willow?" he said softly.
"Mmmm?" she murmured, shutting her eyes again tiredly.
"You okay?"
"Mmm-hmm." She was silent a moment before opening her eyes again. "We have to talk about this now, don't we?"
Harry shrugged, letting out a low chuckle. "Might be nice. We could always wait until the baby's born though"¦."
She laughed quietly, letting out a low moan at the pain in her head that the laughter caused.
"Shhh. Don't move. You've had a rough day."
"So have you."
Harry smiled sweetly at her. "Yeah, but I'm getting through it. It's not everyday you find out you're going to be a father." He was silent a moment. "About that"¦."
Willow sat up hurriedly, wincing at the headache that was forming at her temple. "I know. I should have contacted you but I only found out last night and"¦.
"Willow." Harry silenced her with a soft kiss. "Stop worrying about that. It's not like we exchanged contact information that morning or anything. No, what I was going to say was that, if you'll let me, I'd like to be involved in the baby's life."
Willow was stunned. She hadn't thought he would have wanted to. Tears formed in her eyes and she let out a small sigh of relief. "Of course you can. I wouldn't have it any other way"¦" She gave him a smile through the tears that were now spilling onto her cheeks.
Fumbling in his pocket, Harry handed her a tissue. "Here."
She laughed again, taking the tissue from his hand and wiping her eyes. "So, I guess we're still married."
"Yeah, I guess we are. What wizarding school did you go to by the way?"
Willow frowned. "I didn't. I'm self-taught."
"Self-taught? Well, then where did you get your wand? And your spellbooks?" Harry asked confusedly.
"Wand? Spellbooks?" Willow furrowed her brow and arched an eyebrow at him. "I don't use either. See?" She levitated one of books that was sitting on the coffee table and moved it over to land in Harry's lap. She smiled sheepishly.
Harry's jaw dropped. He had never seen something like that, not even from Dumbledore.
"Where'd you go to school then?" she asked, disconcerted by Harry's lack of conversation at her levitation of the book.
"Hogwarts. Do you mean to tell me that you don't use a wand at all?"
Willow shook her head. "No. Never needed one."
Harry shook his head in disbelief. This was definitely a conversation they were going to have in some length in the VERY near future.
"So, what's happening at the meeting we so rudely interrupted with the airing of our dirty laundry?" Willow inquired quietly. One thing was for sure, if they were going to make this relationship work, they were going to have to get to know each other better. These awkward silences where neither knew what to say to the other were getting annoying.
"Well, they were going back to the Voldemort issue I guess"¦I don't really know. I was here with you."
Willow thought for a moment.
"Thanks for that by the way. From the look on your face I thought you were going to bolt." She laid her head down on his shoulder "Harry, what are we going to do?"
"I don't know. I've never done this before. I'm a teacher at Hogwarts and you work here in London"¦."
"Long distance relationship anyone?" she broke in with a smile.
Harry grinned. "Yeah. I guess I could come to London on the weekends"¦we could try dating"¦get to know each other a bit, I mean really, it's the least we can do for this baby"¦."
Willow lifted her head and gave him a pointed look, although she heartily agreed with his sentiment of having parents for their child that actually KNEW each other and got along. "Dating?" She burst into laughter. "We have got to be the most mixed up people in the world, you know that? We're doing this COMPLETELY backwards. I mean, we got married, I'm now three months pregnant and we're only starting dating now"¦"
"Well, at least we're mixed up together"¦." He said softly, dropping another light kiss on her smiling lips.
"Mmm. That was nice," she murmured into Harry's lips.
"Yeah?" he smiled.
"Yeah." She answered huskily, pulling him down for a searing kiss.
Willow grinned internally. It was going to be alright. She didn't know a THING about him and quite frankly he didn't know a thing about her but she was willing to give it a try and, thankfully, so was he.
