"Were we ever that bad?" Hermione walked into her and Minerva's small cottage and into the den where Minerva sat.

"Shh. And we were worse we just weren't quite so public about it." Minerva spoke softly and gestured the tiny bundle in her arms. Hermione immediately smiled and moved over to the sofa to sit with the two people most important to her.

In the seven years since the defeat of the Dark Lord a lot had happened. Minerva and Hermione had married in the spring shortly after Hermione sat for her 5th level Mastery exam. It had been a small fare and the two had been happy with it, despite the minor outrage at Pansy supposedly 'crashing' the wedding with a hostage Katie Bell. Hermione had laughed when she explained about the rings and that Katie was willingly dating the Slytherin.

Along with Pansy and Katie, Hermione and Minerva had started accepting 'couple dates' and would often have dinner with Fleur and Bill, Harry and Ginny, even Neville and Hannah and eventually Narcissa and Gabrielle who had started seeing each other after Gaby's 17 birthday. Ron had never fully accepted the relationship Hermione had with Minerva and still to this day no one else was aware of the stone Minerva had in her possession.

Filius had eventually retired and Recently so had Septima Vector, they had been replaced by Pansy and Narcissa respectively. Pansy was still able to make her jewellery and Katie did most of the running of the store while also having moved into the castle with Pansy. Minerva had it set to allow the two to come and go as they please through the floo network which let them run their business while still living and working at the school and maintaining their relationship.

Narcissa and Gabrielle had been much the same though Minerva allowed Gabrielle to live at the castle with Narcissa while she worked her way up through the Ministry. The young French woman was rather adept as an Unspeakable. The youngest Delacour had eventually explained the mating process to Narcissa, the older woman was surprised yet excepting of the bond the two shared and even appreciated how truly rare their mating was.

Ginny and Harry had married the fall before Minerva and Hermione were due to have their own wedding. Ginny had been recruited by the Holyhead Harpies and was helping them win world cups. Harry was eventually promoted to Head Auror, Gawain had been replaced by Geraldine Stillwell who retired to start a family with her husband a few years later. Presently the Potter's were 6 weeks in to expecting their first born.

Fleur and Bill had already had one daughter, Victoire, who is three a half and were expecting a second child. At the announcement of their first pregnancy Fleur had requested she be allowed to move back to Shell Cottage. Minerva had agreed and Narcissa took over residence of the quarters, eventually Gabrielle moving in with her, and allowed Fleur to floo back and forth daily to be with her family.

The Weasley's, bar Ron, had easily accepted Minerva and Hermione after the initial shock wore off and would often times invite the two for dinner. Ron would frequently avoid being at the Burrow those night but sometimes would join the family and the McGonagalls. Ronald had started sleeping around quite frequently, he stopped when he learned he had two small children from two different women. His mother and father had scolded him appropriately for his horrible behavior and disrespect for women.

Hermione still taught Transfiguration and Minerva was still Headmistress. They had bought the cottage a year after they had married and decorated it to suit them both perfectly. They continued their roles at school, welcoming new students and sometimes new staff each year and when the end of the day appeared they would retire to their cottage, cook together before typically having an early night.

Their early nights lead to a discussion on children and eventually the older witch stopped taking the contraceptive potion. It took a little effort but neither witch minded, a few months and they were finally pregnant. The pregnancy itself had been a breeze for Minerva and no one was game enough to question why she was still able to carry a child. After all she was married to 'the' Hermione Granger.

"How are my favourite ladies?" Hermione spoke in a soft voice as she kissed Minerva's cheek before gently pulling the blankets back from the tiny little girls face.

No more than two weeks and four days ago Minerva and Hermione welcome Kennedy Rain McGonagall to the world. The little girl came out screaming only to calm the moment she was placed in her mothers arms. Hermione had burst into tears the moment the new born girl snuggled into Minerva's chest and was almost inconsolable until Minerva demanded she calm down and sit with them.

"Quite sore and sleepy." Minerva spoke up smiling at her young wife.

"I'm sorry love. You will be good as new in no time." Hermione gently pecked her love on the lips.

"I think you should carry the next one." Minerva points out seriously.

In the six years since Minerva had transfigured her lower body as shagged her wife she hadn't done it again. Hermione had asked a few times but it was clear that Minerva felt horrible for what had happened that first time. Hermione tried but eventually just gave up, if Minerva wasn't comfortable she wouldn't push it. At this point though she thought her wife deserved a little ribbing.

"Think you are willing to transfigure yourself again? Finally?" Hermione smirked at her wife.

"Don't poke fun. You know I felt, feel, bad for what happened." Minerva all but pouted at her love who gently scooped Kennedy out of her arms for a cuddle.

"Yes well, my bum felt bad about it too but I was always willing for you to try again." Hermione was tempted to bring their house values into things but thought that would be a low blow.

"Language, Professor McGonagall." The older woman chastised playfully and the Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Let me put the little Miss down so I can cuddle you." Hermione says the conversation officially dropped for now.

Minerva smiled and Hermione went into the nursery putting the little girl in her bassinet before going back out to the den. Hermione back onto the sofa and carefully pulled her wife to her and into her lap. Minerva snuggled against her younger wife happily and closed her eyes. For a long while the two sat quietly, Hermione running her fingers through hair that Minerva kept loose when they were at home together.

"I will carry the next if that is what you want." Hermione spoke up seriously after a few more moments of silence.

"Really?" Minerva opened her eyes and tilted her head to look at her love.

"Of course. Baby the pregnancy was hard on your, you were sick almost the whole time and so tired you barely got anything done and you had to go to see Poppy more than once. Lets call it quits after two and I will carry the second." Hermione reasoned seriously.

"You are so very sweet. If that is what you want to do then I am ok with that." Minerva shifted enough to place a gentle kiss on Hermione's lips. A kiss that the brunette returned tenderly.

"When do you want to start?" Hermione asked jokingly and wriggled her eyebrows.

"Give me a week." Minerva stated seriously.

"What? Seriously?" Hermione was a little more than surprised at this answer.

"Seriously. Kennedy was born on your birthday so if we have another babe within the next 12 months they could go to Hogwart's together." Minerva explained seriously and Hermione had to agree.

"Alright. We can start as soon as you are ready." Hermione says smiling happily at her lover.

"I love you, Hermione McGonagall." Minerva shifted in her seat on the brunette's lap.

"And I you, Minerva McGonagall." Hermione replied easily, the two shared a smile before sharing a kiss.
