What?
"You're what?!" Harry asked shocked.
Hermione inhaled and exhaled, closing her eyes, before opening them again, a lone tear falling onto her hand. "I'm p-p-pregnant, Harry."

He stood up and paced back and forth in front of her. "And I-I'm the fa-?"
She nodded before he finished. "Yes, you're the only one I've ever been with. Look, I understand if you want nothing to do with me or the bab-" She was cut off.
"No one's going to hurt you or the baby. I can promise you that," he said surprising her. "Although, now that Voldemort is now back into power, I don't know what to do. He going to go after the baby, I'm sure of it."
Hermione looked down. "What do we do? Are we going to give it away?" Tears formed in her eyes, afraid of letting her child go, but debating on letting it go to protect it.
He stopped pacing and looked at her. "No, of course not. The baby is our responsibility. We can take care of it. I know we can. And I'm never going to leave in this, I promise." He sat down next to her and wrapped an arm around her as she sobbed on his shoulder. "We're going to get through this. Everything's going to be fine." He kissed the top of her head.
"I'm just happy that you're not going to run away," she replied calming down a little.

Hermione wiped her tears off of her face with the back of her hand. "Well, usually males tend to run away when a girl tells them they're pregnant with their child, especially if they're as young as we are. They become scared and the girl ends up having to raise the baby by herself."

"Hermione, I would never do that to you. I would never leave you or the baby. Don't you ever think that." Hermione smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug, which he returned.
"Thank you, Harry. You're the sweetest guy ever."
When they parted, Harry asked, "Did you tell your parents? Obviously not because I talked to them last night and they seemed fine and not mad."
"No, I didn't. I wanted to tell you first. I'm kind of afraid to tell them," she said looking past him thoughtfully.

"My parents are going to kill me," Hermione said sadly looking at the floor.

"Kill you?!" Harry asked her incredulously. "What about me?! What's going to happen to me when they find out I got their baby girl pregnant?!"
He and Hermione chuckled. After a comfortable silence, Harry spoke up, "We better go tell them now. Come on." He stood up and held out his hand. She looked at it for a moment, not believing that he was really going to stay and help her. He did not need the burden of a child on his shoulders now to add to the other burdens weighing him down. She took it and together they left hand in hand down the stairs to the sitting room, where Charlotte, Jacob, Remus, Sirius, and Tonks were sitting in chairs and on a couch, drinking coffee to wake them up and congregating pleasantly. They looked up as the two fourteen year olds entered the room. They were nervous and anxious, which the adults noticed.

Harry looked at Hermione and nodded, encouragingly. She nodded back and looked at the adults. She inhaled deeply and said simply, "I-I'm pregnant."
It was quiet. No sound was heard at all for about a minute. Harry was beginning to get scared. Hermione's father was the one he was worried about.
"W-what?!" her mother asked.
"You're what?!" her husband shrieked after her. He and his wife stood up, followed by Remus, Tonks, and Sirius, who looked confused.

"I'm pregnant," she repeated, with a tear rolling down her face. Harry squeezed her hand comfortingly, pulling her a little closer.
"Hermione, you're only fourteen! You can't possibly raise a child!" Charlotte got angry at her daughter. Harry then thought he much rather Hermione's Dad to be angry at him, because her Mum seemed like the angry one in the family.
Hermione just looked down in shame. Jacob looked at Harry, who tried to avoid his eyes, but failed. "Are you the father?"
Maybe not Mrs. Granger. Harry nodded slowly. Sirius and Remus got angry as well. Tonks just looked away ashamed.
"Harry!" Sirius scolded.

"Boy, I'm going to wish you were never born!" Jacob threatened Harry. "You got my baby pregnant! You better pay for this baby and go along with whatever she wants to do! That includes adoption! You better not be planning to leave her or the unborn child!"

This surprised the adults. They thought Harry was just going to panic out and leave her deal with the baby by herself. "Sir, she's my best friend. I've been by her side since the beginning, just as she's been by mine, and I'm never going to leave. I'll be behind her one hundred percent, hatever she wants to do, I'll support her, whether she wants to keep it or put it up for adoption. My parents left me a large fortune, enough to support her and the baby and me. I'll pay for whatever she needs and wants."
"Damn right you will!" Jacob agreed. Sirius looked so angry, angrier than Harry had ever seen him. "How could you do this, Harry?! Huh?! How could you get an innocent girl pregnant?! Hermione no less?! Your best friend?!" he yelled.
How could he think that?! He just explained to Mr. Granger that he would take care of Hermione and the baby! "I thought you'd be proud of me!" Harry shouted back to him.

"NO! For accepting the responibilities for it! I understand that I'm fourteen and know absolutely nothing about being a dad, but I can learn! I'm not proud of what I did and I'm scared to death of being a parent, but I'm not going to leave! Instead, I'm going to give that baby the one thing that I've always wanted-" his voice lowered. "-a loving family!" Then, he got louder again. "I thought you'd be proud of me for that!" He ran out of the room, heading up the stairs to his room. They heard a door slam shut.
Hermione started to go after him, but her mother stopped her. "No, let him cool off first." Her voice was calmer, but firm. "Come on, we need to talk, all of us." She wrapped her arm around her daughter and led her into the kitchen, Jacob, Remus, and Tonks trailing after them. Sirius hesitated for a moment. realizing that his godson was right.
He was proud.

The six of them sat around the large and long table in the kitchen. "Since Harry's up for whatever you want to do, I think it's okay to talk about this without him. We'll fill in later," Charlotte suggested and they all nodded. "Okay, first thing's first, Hermione, are you going to keep the baby?"
Hermione gave her mother a slight shocked expression. "Of course! Like Harry said, I'm not leaving the baby. I've only lnown about my pregnancy for nearly a day now, but I've felt such a strong attachment to my child," she gazed into space smiling, but soon sobered up. "I'm not giving my baby up for adoption." Then she began to cry softly and looked at her parents. "Please don't make me give my baby up!"
Charlotte wrapped an arm around her shoulders and held her. "Shh, we would never do that! We'd never take your baby from you! I'm proud of you, Hermione. I'm proud you want to keep it and raise it. Not many fourteen year old soon-to-be mothers would." She kissed the top of her head. "You're going to make a wonderful mother."
Hermione wiped her eyes with a tissue that her father gave her and smiled at her mother's remark. She looked at her father, who smiled and nodded agreeingly. "Okay, so adoption is out of the question," he said after a moment. "What next?"
"Well, okay, Hermione, we're not kicking you out of the house, but I'm sure you'd want to be with Harry, so do you have any idea where you're going to live? I mean, Harry's more than welcome to live with us, but there's hardly any room for all of us and a baby," Charlotte asked.
Hermione thought about this. "Harry can't go back to the Dursleys, they'll kill him for getting me pregnant." Then she looked at Sirius, Remus, and Tonks thoughtfully. "Did Harry inherit his family's house in Godric's Hollow?"
"Yes, he did. He can move into it when he's sixteen or when his guardian emancipated. Since I'm his guardian, I'm giving him permission to move there to raise a family," Sirius said smiling. Hermione smiled back.
"But, Sirius, they're only fourteen!" Charlotte protested. "They can't live on their own!"
"I live across the street from the Potter Manor, Charlotte," Remus spoke up. "I assure you, I'll watch over them and help them in any way possible." This seemed to calm the Granger matriarch.
"Alright, living conditions are settled. What's next?" Hermione asked.
"School," her father said. "What are you and Harry going to do about school?"
"Oh, my God! I completely forgot about school!" She groaned. "I'm going to be made fun of so much this year when I get...bigger." She gasped. "What am I gpoing to do about school when the baby comes?! I can't leave them here and I'm not sure if I can take them there. I don't know what to do!" She laid her head on the table. She could just imagine what Malfoy would call and say to her.
"I'll talk to Dumbledore. I'm sure there are bigger suites for married couples and families they could put you in. I'm sure we can get one of the house elves to baby-sit and take care of the baby while you are in classes," Remus suggested.
"Remus, that's brilliant!" Tonks beamed.
"Well..." he shrugged proudly, like it was nothing. They all laughed and Hermione could see how much Tonks and Remus were in love.

They contiued to talk about the baby until Sirius sugessted he'd better go talk to Harry. Hermione and her mother went upstairs to Hermione's room to talk about the baby more, woman-to-woman. Remus, Tonks, and Jacob stayed downstairs and talked about future plans.

Harry heard a knock at his door. "Go away!" he moaned. He was laying on his bed, thinking about how he was going to help raise a child. The door opened anyway and his godfather stood there. He shut the door. Harry turned on his side, away from him. Sirius walked to his bed and sat next to him.
"You're right, Harry," he said. Harry turned his head and stared at him. "You're absolutely right. I am proud of you. Sure, you got your best friend pregnant, but you never faltered in accepting the responsibility for it, You're willing to be a fourteen year old Dad. That's an excellent Dad! I know I probably would've left, which shows you're stronger than I am. You're growing up, Harry, so fast. I just wanted to say I'm proud of you.""
"Thanks, Sirius. That means a lot." He sat up and they shared a manly hug. When they parted, Sirius said, "We talked about the baby. The Grangers, Remus, Tonks, and I. We've suggested you and Hermione move into the Potter Manor in Godric's Hollow, if you want, of course. Remus lives right across the street from it, so he'll help out in any way he can."
Harry smiled. "Yeah, yeah, I'd like that. I'd love to raise my son or daughter in the house I would've grown up in. A new baby Potter will grow up there."
They continued to talk about eveything Sirius and the others talked about downstairs.

Hermione and Charlotte entered the fourteen year old's bedroom. They both laid down on the queen-sized bed, like they used to do when Hermione was younger and they'd just talk. "Okay, let's talk about this baby, woman-to-woman," Charlotte said and they both chuckled. "How far along are you?"
Hermione thought about that. "Let's see, it happened in May, right before the school year ended. He was going off on his Third and final Challenge. He needed support; our hormones kicked inm and it happened, so I'm about three to four weeks along."
"So that's what the vomiting was? Morning sickness?" Charlotte asked, clicking it all together.
Hermione nodded.
"I'll lend you some of my old pregnancy books and maternity clothes when you start to get bigger. I'm sure Remus or Sirius can shrink them."
Hermione nodded again and let her hand wander to her stomach, feeling a tiny bulge there. She smiled. Her baby was safe and sound. She was happy it was Harry's baby and not anyone else's. She could not imagine having a baby with anyone else. She subconsciously rubbed a thumb over her stomach, just like when she found out. 'Mummy's here. It's okay. Daddy's going to stay with us. No one's going to take you away from me. Mummy loves you, sweetheart' she thought to her unborn child.
Charlotte smiled at her daughter, watching her stroke her thumb over the tiny bulge. She was impressed at how affectionate and loving she was already to a fetus. "Are you scared?" she asked.
Hermione had a curious look on her face. "Not as much as I thought it would be. The more I think about it, I become less terrified." She look sideways at her Mum. "Were you scared when you found out you were pregnant with me?"
"Very," she chuckled. "I was nineteen, but your father and I had been married for a few months. I was scared because I was afraid I was going to screw up and be a terrible mother."
"You're not, Mum. You're a wonderful mother," Hermione protested with a smile.
Charlotte smiled and hugged her. "Thanks, sweetie."
"Think of it this way, Mum. Instead of being mad at me for getting pregnant, think of the grandchild you are going to spoil," Hermione suggested with a giggle.
Charlotte giggled as well. "Oh, Lord, Hermione, you've made me a grandmother at thiry-four!" They both laughed. "Oh, but I can't wait to shower them with toys and gifts, but not too much candy." She reminded her. "Cavities."
"Of course not, Mum. No child of mine is going to have cavities," Hermione promised. "They're going to be healthy, intelligent, and have a small passion for Quidditch and books." She had a dreamy smile on her face.
There was a knock on the door. "Come in," Hermione called. The door opened and Harry and Sirius stood there. Seeing Charlotte there, Harry said, "I hope I'm not interrupting anything?"
"No, come in," Hermione said smiling at him. He smiled and laid on the bed next to her. Charlotte got out of the bed after kissing her daughter on the forehead and squeezing Harry's shoulder. She ans Sirius left the soon-to-be parents to talk.
Harry gazed at her stomach. She stared at him, watching him look at their unborn child in her stomach. "Would you like to touch it?" she asked.
He nodded slowly and Hermione grabbed his hand and put it on the bulge on her stomach. "I'm only a few weeks along, so it's not much grown yet, obviously, but there's our baby."
"Wow," he smiled. After a few minutes, he took his hand away and looked at her. She smiled and he returned it.
"Mum said she'd give us a few of her pregnancy books; and Sirius said we can move into your parents' house!" she said excitedly.
"I know. He told me!" His excitement matched hers. "There may be a lot of bad memories there, but we can make good ones."
Hermione thought of something. "I think we should go to Hogwarts tomorrow and see Madame Pomfrey to get me checked out. If we are going to Hogwarts in September, she's going to have to look over me and make sure the baby and I are doing okay."
Harry nodded. "Sounds good." He kissed her forehead and laid her upper body on his chest, wrapping his arms around her middle; protecting her, but more of the baby.
'See? I told you everything was going to be fine.' Hermione thought to their baby.
