Nine Weeks

"How was your honeymoon?" George Weasley asked after the family had sat down and tucked into their dinner. It was Sunday at the Burrow, the first Sunday since Harry and Hermione returned from their honeymoon.

"It was good," Harry said, he took a sip of his butterbeer.

"I bet," George waggled his eyebrows suggestively causing Harry to choke and Hermione to blush.

"George!" Molly and Angelina scolded him.

Harry snuck a glance at Ron. His former best mate and co-worker was smiling at George's antics but Harry could tell by the set of his jaw and his stiff posture that the subject of Harry and Hermione's honeymoon made him uncomfortable.

"Where did you guys go?" Audrey, Percy's wife, asked them.

"Hawaii," Hermione answered her. "It was beautiful. We did the muggle sight-seeing but we also found a small wizarding community on one the islands. They have an interesting Polynesian wizarding culture. I bought some books-"

"They saw a volcano!" Teddy exclaimed. "But it didn't rupt."

"Erupt," Hermione corrected him. "Eat your peas Teddy.," She pointed to his nearly full plate.

Teddy grumbled but did as Hermione asked him. He looked up after he shoveled in a small mouth full and asked, "Is that enough?"

"No," Hermione replied.

"When the baby gets here will he have to eat peas too?" Teddy mumbled.

Everyone stopped and looked at the little boy.

"Did he say-?" Ginny asked.

"-baby?" Fleur looked positively giddy.

Hermione and Harry exchanged a look and Hermione nodded slightly. "Yes," Harry said. "We are having a baby." He looked at his godson, "though I don't know how he knew that."

"Heard Aunt Mione talking to grandma," Teddy replied as he pushed his peas around on his plate.

Molly Weasley had tears in her eyes. She jumped to her feet and rushed around to where Hermione and Harry were sitting. She hugged them both and kissed their cheeks. "Why didn't you say anything?" she demanded. "How far along are you? When are you due?"

Harry laughed at his surrogate mothers exuberance. He let Hermione field all the questions.

"We were going to wait until after the first trimester to say anything," Hermione explained. "I am about nine weeks along and I am due in December."

"Oh, a Christmas baby!" Fleur exclaimed she also stood up and rushed to congratulate the couple. Soon everyone was following suit. Hermione and Harry stood up to allow the Weasley's to fuss over them.

Again Harry chanced a look at Ron who hadn't said anything yet. The redhead met his eyes and smiled. He stood up and approached the couple, "Congrats, you two," he said. He hugged Hermione, kissing her on the cheek. Then he shook Harry's hand.

Ron walked back over to his seat. "You need to keep an eye on her Harry. make sure she doesn't work too hard and she actually eats. Hermione doesn't always take care of herself-"

"Ronald, I know perfectly well how to take care of myself," Hermione huffed.

"Yes, you know," Ron agreed, "But that doesn't mean you always do it."

Harry was glad Ron took that well. Originally Hermione and Harry said they would take Ron aside and tell him before everyone else found out but life just didn't allow that. Harry felt like he and Ron were heading back to being friends again and that made Harry happy.

After dinner Harry and Hermione took Teddy back home. Once he was in bed they settled downstairs. Harry was playing video games and Hermione was reading.

Harry looked away from the screen after Hermione sighed for the fourth time. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"I was just thinking about the baby," she said and put her hand on her still flat stomach.

"And that makes you sad?" Harry paused his game and moved to the couch.

Hermione took his hand and shook her head, "No, of course not. The baby is -I am thrilled to be pregnant with your child." She paused and sighed again, "I was sad because of my parents. They will never know this baby or Teddy or any other children we have and that- makes me sad." She wiped her eyes. "I know it's dumb. It's been six years. I should be used to them not being a part of my life."

Harry felt his heart constrict. He still believed he was responsible for the problems between Hermione and her parents-no matter what Hermione said. He pulled Hermione to him, her head was on his shoulder. "I don't think it's dumb. I don't think you will ever adjust. It would be weird if you did. They are your parents. They raised you."

"When I think about having this baby without them-" Hermione choked up and sobbed against him.

"You could try talking to them again," Harry made that suggestion every so often.

But as usual Hermione shook her head and said, "Too much has happened. They made their position clear."

"But like you said," Harry started, he usually didn't push it this hard but he hated to see her sad, "It's been six years. Maybe they miss you as much as you miss them?"

"Then why haven't they contacted me?" Hermione asked in a small voice.

"I don't know," Harry admitted. "I could speculate but why? You should just ask them."

Hermione heaved a sigh, "I can't-I just can't be rejected again. Please understand."

Harry didn't know whether to continue to push or not? He decided for the time being he would let it go but he would bring it up later. "We both have to go back to work tomorrow. Why don't we go upstairs and get some sleep?"

Hermione pulled away and Harry wiped the tears from her cheeks. She smiled at him, "That's good idea. I am exhausted and I am sure I will have a lot to catch up on tomorrow. Terry always screws up my system when I am away."

Harry chuckled and stood up. He pulled Hermione to her feet and they walked upstairs together. But Harry had trouble sleeping that night. He couldn't stop thinking about Hermione and her parents.

The next morning Hermione seemed fine. The two went to work and Hermione had a meeting with Kingsley. She decided since the Weasley's knew she was pregnant she should let Kingsley know also.

It was a slow morning for the Auror's. So-Harry, Draco, Ron and Neville were standing around drinking coffee and talking about Quidditch, which was of the few things all four boys enjoyed.

"How about you boys actually try earning your paychecks?" Hermione asked as she entered Draco's office, where they were holed up.

"Slow morning Granger," Draco drawled. "How about you go earn yours?"

Harry stood up and ushered Hermione into his chair. She gave him a quick kiss and didn't fuss about being pushed into a chair for which Harry was grateful.

"I'm so bored , I think it's going to kill me," Draco complained. He took his cigarettes out and lit one. Harry saw Hermione stand and cover her mouth with her shirt.

Ron and Harry reached out at the same time but Ron was closer and had longer arms. He snatched the cigarette out of Malfoy's hand and stubbed it out. "Are you crazy man? You can't smoke around Hermione."

Harry was using his wand to air out the room while Neville opened a window.

Draco looked at them all with a raised eyebrow, "What's the matter with you three?" he demanded.

"Hermione is pregnant, idiot," Ron snapped.

Draco looked at Harry and Hermione with a wide eyed expression that almost made Harry laugh. "She is?" he asked.

Hermione put her hand to her mouth, "I am sorry. I forgot you didn't know. Yes, I am pregnant."

Draco makes a face and shakes his head, "I am always the last to know."

"Luna doesn't know either, you can take comfort in that," Harry told him.

Draco shrugged, "That makes me feel marginally better," he said. "How long have you known ? How-pregnant are you?"

Hermione smiled, "I have known since just before the wedding. I am a little over 2 months along."

"Wow, a baby Granger-Potter, now that is frightening," Draco said but he smiled at Harry and Hermione, "Congrats you two." He shook Harry's hand and kissed Hermione's cheek.

"Thanks," Harry said.

"Can I tell Luna?" Draco asked.

Hermione nodded, "I wish I could have told her though."

"Why don't you?" Draco asked. "I don't believe she has lunch plans, it's as dead as a mausoleum around here and I think she wanted to discuss some wedding nonsense with you."

Hermione clapped her hands, "Oh, the Malfoy-Lovegood nuptials, I am excited."

Draco tried to look sour but a smile broke through, "You're not the only. My mother is insane, right now. She has been waiting for this since-well, since she was about as far along as you are."

Hermione smiled, "Well, you are her only baby."

"Shut it Granger," Draco said.

Everyone laughed.

"How did Kingsley take the news?" Harry asked.

"He was great. He said that if I need to work from home later that it wouldn't be a problem. " Hermione said. She stood up, "I think I will go and owl Luna and see if she wants to have lunch."

Before she reached the door there was a knock. Hermione opened it and Dennis Creevey stuck his head in. He was the four Auror's secretary. Hermione encouraged he boys to hire a guy. She worried that with the fame of these four, their looks, their money- they would always be targets by crazy people.

"Hi Dennis," Hermione greeted the boy.

"Hermione," Dennis smiled. He looked at Harry, "Kingsley said that since it is so slow you guys can knock off for the rest of the day."

"Thank Merlin!" Draco exclaimed. "Anyone up for some Quidditch?"

"Oh me," Ron said as he finished his coffee.

"Me too," Harry sad. "If that is alright?" He looked at Hermione.

"Of course," Hermione laughed. "Go have fun with the boys. Luna and I will go talk babies and weddings."

"No babies for me," Draco said. "Not yet."

"Bye guys," Hermione hugged all the guys and kissed Harry goodbye before she walked out the door.

"I will go and get my stuff and meet you guys by the floo," Harry said. He walked out of Draco's office and to his own office. He grabbed his briefcase and stuffed some papers into it. He threw his cloak on and walked out to meet his friends. Draco, Ron and Neville were already waiting.

Before Harry reached them, Kingsley burst through the door. "I'm glad I caught you four." He sounded worried and out of breath.

"Minister?" Harry asked. "Something wrong?"

"There has been a mass breakout at Azkaban," Kinglsey said. "Several prisoners got out before we could stabilize the compound. Several death eaters are free."

Harry exchanged a look with his friends and co-workers. This was bad. Very bad.
