A/n: Oh you guys were so nice. Thanks for wishing me well in my studies…

CHAPTER: Misconceptions I

She shook her head. “I don’t have anything to say, this is about what you have to say. I already know how I feel about this but you… is the idea of me being pregnant that disgusting to you?” she asked, surprising herself with her honesty.

“To me?” he breathed and he edged closer to her. “How can you say that?”

“How can I not?” she replied a little louder than she intended. She could tell from the look on his face that he didn’t like the tone she was using. She tried to calm herself. “I see how this could be scary for you, maybe because it resembles so closely the situation your parents where put in but you really don’t have to be afraid of me. I’m not going to force you to do anything you don’t want to.”

“Why are talking like you are victim here?”

She shook her head. “I’m not talking like a victim; I’m never going allow you to make me the victim. If you want to fuss and pout and moan and groan about it then be my guest but you’re not going to do it around me. I was fine before I met you and I’ll be fine afterwards.”

He looked at her shook his head. “I think it might take a life time for me to fully comprehend how I could have been so completely wrong about you…or perhaps I was right. I used to think that you were a weak little thing.”

She couldn’t understand how he could make it out that she was being the weak in this situation. “I am not weak.”

He walked around the bed and eyed her like someone who was going to attack him. “You are,” he said in a low tone. “But recently I thought I saw something in you… something more… but now I know I was very wrong.”

“Well I can’t be whatever it is you want me to be because this is all I am. “She looked at his as he looked at her. “What do you want from me?” she asked him. He was a mystery to her. “Why are you being like this? Are you really that surprised that I am pregnant?”

“Do you think I’m stupid?” he snapped. “I knew what we were doing, I knew there was possibility.” He took a seat on the bed with his back turn to her. He was hunched over. “I just never thought that you were someone who had to have everything be perfect all the time. You don’t have the strength to accept that sometimes things don’t go according to plan. You’re still acting like your husband is coming from the dead to claim you.”

“No I’m not,” she whispered. The more she talked to him the more she was confused about what he was talking about. “I know he’s gone, I’m not afraid to admit it.”

“Yes, you are,” he replied.

“No, I’m not.” She argued

“Then why don’t want you want to have my baby?”

“Eh…what?”

He spoke low until it was almost inaudible. “You heard what I said; I’m not going to ask you again.”

“Well I feel like I have to ask you to repeat it because what I think you said makes no sense to me.”

He grunted in frustration and then got up from where he was sitting. He turned around and looked at her. He closed his eyes and pinched his nose bridge between his fingers. “Why don’t you want to have my baby?”

She felt her jaw drop. “Is that what you think?” she asked.

“Isn’t it true?”

“No,” she replied seriously. “Why would you think that?” She was finally beginning to see that he was not angry with her, he was hurt. He was avoiding looking at her because all this time he didn’t want her to see how upset he felt about the situation. She had no idea where he got that idea in his head.

“Why didn’t you tell me then?”

She shrugged. “Because you don’t like kids. It’s not easiest thing telling someone who doesn’t want to have kids that they will weather they like it or not.”

He shook his head. “I asked you and you said that you weren’t… why else would you lie to me.”

“I’m sorry I lied but not every time someone lies it means that something deep and sinister is at play… I just didn’t think you were ready to know the truth.”

“So you weren’t going to…”

“What, have an abortion? Are you crazy, I know I wanted this baby I was just waiting for you to want as much as me.” He stared at her for long while, reading every inch of her body, looking for the truth. “Don’t you trust me?” she asked.

He nodded slowly. “Yes, I trust you.”

She sighed and rested her head back on the pillow. “I’m really tired now, I think I’ll just sleep for little while.” She slumped down and pulled the covers up to cover her body.

“Do you want me to take that away?” he asked, pointing at the food he brought for her. She shook her head.

“No, can you just stay here with me?” she asked.

He didn’t say anything he just got in the bed next to her but still not touching her. “Can you come closer,” she asked. He moved closer to her and put his arms around her waist. She placed her hands over his and guided it under her top until it touched her bare skin. She moved it slowly back and fort over her stomach.

“Where is it?” he whispered.

She guided his hands to the pit of her stomach. “Right there,” she said.

He kept his hand still for a while. “I don’t feel anything?” he said.

She giggled at this. “I’m only a month along, you’re not supposed to,” she said.

He didn’t seem to mind that she found his questions were funny. Instead he leaned over her and let his lips brush against her cheeks. She could feel that she was glowing red, just like the first time he kissed her moths ago; she closed her eyes and let the sensation sink it. It was still one of the best feelings in the world.

-o-o-

The change in her mood was having a positive effect on her health. Even though she still felt tired she was not in as much pain as she was the day before. Severus, being Severus was back to normal to the point where she couldn’t see a trace of the fact that he been angry with her only the night before. He stayed in bed with her whole morning until he was forced to leave to attend some meeting with the person who wanted to buy his house. Before he left he made sure she was comfortable and had everything she needed. He was only going to be about an hour but he still felt guilty leaving her. She had to assure him that it was okay and he didn’t have to spend every waking moment watching after her. After he left rather reluctantly, she tried to entertain herself by flashing through some channels on the Tele to see is she could find anything interesting. She didn’t know how long this lasted but she fell asleep at some point.

She wasn’t aware that she fell asleep until she woke up to find two bright brown eyes looking down at her. She instinctively reached for her wand at her side and tried to sit up as quickly as possible. “Wendy, what are you doing here?”

A/N: This chapter was so much work. It’s a good thing I only have one class on Wednesdays or else I may not have finished it at all. I hated having to write them arguing about two different things. Gosh, thank goodness there will be no more arguing from them from this point on. wipes brow exhaustion

Oh and I left a little cliffhanger. Muhahahaha.
