After finding out who the father was, Hermione numbly climbed off the bed and left the Infirmary. Instead of going to her dorm, though, she walked towards the dungeons. Knowing, that she didn't want to be found until later. Hermione walked into the potions classroom and walked up to Severus's desk, sitting in his chair and taking in his scent. Hermione was relieved and upset by who the father was. Relieved, because he had been killed(sorry ) but upset because now, she didn't know what to do.

Hermione soon fell asleep, curled up in Severus's chair. It had been an hour into her nap when Severus had found her. He gently picked her up, not wanting to wake her, and carried her to his chambers. He laid her on his bed and climbed in next to her. He brought her to his chest, pulled up the blankets, and feel asleep with his witch in his arms. It was hours later that he woke up to a soft kiss. He found Hermione laying on her side, head on his chest. "How are you feeling, my dear?" He asked her. She shrugged her shoulders as she played with his hair. "I don't know.. I guess I'm relieved to know the father can't hurt me or the baby. But I'm upset and confused because I don't know what to do. My baby isn't going to have a father." She starts crying. Severus wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her close. "Hermione?" He asked. She sniffles and looks up at him, "Yes?" She asked with curiosity. He looked down at the woman in his arms. The woman he's grown to care for so much, almost love. "I care for you, very deeply. And for the baby. And I want to be with you, if you'll let me. Will you be my companion, significant other? And let me be the father to your baby?" He says as he places a kiss on on her forehead. Hermione breaks down in tears as a smile spreads across her face as she nods her head. "Yes, I will, Severus." Severus smiled his first real smile for the first time in 20 years. Hermione and Severus spent the rest of the day in his chambers.

The next morning, Severus woke up to the sound of running water, coming from the bathroom. He noticed Hermione wasn't in bed and figured she was in the shower. So he got up, and called Fifi, asking her to bring Hermione's supplements and pulled at a book to read. 10 minutes later, Hermione walked out in one of his black t-shirts and a pair of his pajama pants. She blushed when he noticed he was awake, "I hope you don't mind, Sev. But I didn't have any clothes." Severus chuckled at her embarrassment, "Black suits you, well." He grabs her supplements and hands the to her to take and goes to take his own shower.

When he emerges, clad in black jeans and a black button down, he finds Hermione lost in thought. He walks up behind and starts running her shoulders, earning a groan here and there as he worked out some knots. "What are you thinking, sweetheart?" He asked, still massaging her shoulders. She turns her head to the side so she could see him, "I think I'm ready to tell Harry, the staff, and the rest of the Weasley, minus Ron, of course." Severus stops for a second before continuing, "Are you sure?" He asked. She sighs heavily, "Honestly, I don't know. But I'm 6 months pregnant, and I'm tired of hiding it. Besides, everyone will know once the baby is born. Might as well start coming clean." Severus had stopped massaging her and sat on the couch next to her. Her took her face in his hands, she leaned into them and closed her eyes. He kisses her forehead, then both her cheeks, before chastely kissing her lips. "You are a brave woman, my dear. I am very proud of you. Just tell me when and where, and I'll have everyone gathered." Hermione smiled at his compliment. "I was thinking today, 2? In Headmistress's office." "Okay, then. Let's go talk to Minerva. And we'll get everything ready."
