Chapter Six
Severus picked up Hermione and carried her to the guest room and gently laid her down on the quilt coverlet, stretching out beside her and pulling her close. "Hermione, love, we need to talk." He felt her stiffen then, she nodded and moved to release his hold on her.
This is it, Hermione, this is where he says goodbye. Thanks for the rumble in the hay, but you're just not my type. She struggled in vain to break his hold as he relentlessly pulled her back down beside him.
"My love, what is going on?" he queried. "You are so different…you are losing weight rapidly, you cry nearly every day and you are so exhausted that I do not feel comfortable allowing you to brew potions until you are well." Lines of worry wrinkled his forehead, but his dark eyes were gentle as they met hers.
I do not deserve him, nor can I tell him the truth, she thought. "I went to visit my Mum and Dad, that's all Severus. I just…oh hell, I don't know. I guess I was homesick." He noticed her evasiveness, but he put it away for now, he'd more pressing concerns at the moment.
"What about your health, sweetheart?" he asked her. "I admit to being extremely concerned. You eat very little and when you can eat you usually get sick and lose what nutrients you may have gained. I think we need to go to Madam Pomfrey and have her examine you, my dear."
Tears burned behind her eyes and she ruthlessly held them in check, refusing to contemplate the rage and betrayal he would feel if she were to announce she was having a child, and she didn't know who the father was. Unbidden, the Severus that haunted her dreams the night she'd spent at her parents came forth. "Pregnant, pregnant?! Surely you aren't claiming it's mine! Do not expect me to take care of you and your sniveling little red-headed brat!"
Suddenly, her stomach rebelled and she jerked away from him long enough to make it to the bathroom just in time to lose all the breakfast she'd eaten that morning. Thoroughly alarmed by the violence of the spasms shaking her torso, Severus was beside her in a flash, holding her curls out of the way and pressing a cool cloth to her fevered brow. After the desperate retching passed, she collapsed in his arms, unable to even sit up.
In a flash, he apparated directly to Madam Pomfrey's raising quite a ruckus until she appeared and led him to a private room where he gently put Hermione down on the bed. When the Mediwitch tried to shoo him out so that she could thoroughly examine her, Severus refused to leave her side. Recalling the conversation, she'd had with Hermione earlier that day, Madam Pomfrey persuaded Severus to step out of the door long enough for her to speak with Hermione. Cognoscente of the big, intimidating man currently pacing a rut in her polished wood floor, she gave her young patient a quick head to toe examination, she found Hermione was spotting and she became very concerned. Sitting next to Hermione she gave her some sound medical, and motherly, advice.
"Hermione, I know you're in quite a pickle. I can give you all the medical statistics on how stress can cause problems with the pregnancy, including miscarriages." Madam Pomfrey sat on the bed next to her. "You have had enough stress in your life, and if that's not enough there is a man outside of this room whom I've known for years, and he hasn't show this much emotion since Lily died. He needs to know, child." She rose and exited and, through the closed door, Hermione heard her soft reassurances to the distraught Severus.
When he entered her room, she nearly cried out at the naked emotion showing through his countenance, emotion that he'd had to ruthlessly hold in check for so many years. He sat beside her and immediately grasped her hand. "What did she say?" he demanded to know.
"What did Madam Pomfrey tell you?" she asked.
"Only that you need more rest, she gave me strict instructions for you to be on bed rest." He replied.
Hermione sat up, and placed a hand to his cheek, placing her forehead onto his. "Let's go home, and I will tell you." He waved his wand, and, within a second, they were at her cottage. Severus placed her on her couch with pillows pushed here and there around her. She was charmed with the love and concern he showed her, yet she feared the worst when she told him the truth. Recalling how he'd left her after they'd made love, she braced herself for his anger and accusations.
"Hermione…" his voice held so much love, and fear. She squeezed his hand, then pulled away and sat with her eyes closed, not wanting to see the rejection and rage that was sure to come. He'd been a Death-eater after all…
"Professor," she felt him stiffen at the formal address. "I'm pregnant, and I don't know who my baby's father is. The day before I collapsed in the dungeons," here her voice lost all emotion, and she seemed to diminish in size. "Ron showed up in my kitchen, I'd changed the locks but still, he gets in…he always gets in…he raped me again."
Severus felt a cold rush of rage fill him at her words. Gods above! How could he not see what was before his very eyes?
Her voice was weaker still, "A few weeks later, well you and I…" After this momentous statement, she anticipated harsh words and, when his hand raised, she flinched expecting a blow. Instead, she was hauled up and found herself lovingly embraced, on his lap, her head cradled on his shoulder. Suddenly, she could no longer keep her eyes open and she slumped against him.
"Hermione, my dear, sweet girl. You have brought such joy to my life merely with your smile. I love you and want you and our child to be at peace. Rest now. I'll be here when you awaken."
She clung to his shirt with two fists and wept, this time in relief, as he tilted her head up and claimed a gentle kiss of promise.
