Chapter 15: Embraced

If someone had came to me today with liquid luck free of charge I would probably smile and turn them away. If and when they asked why I would simply spread my arms wide and show them what was around me. My cottage by the sea with its small garden of vegetables right out back my door and a few small berry bushes on the far end of my white picket fenced yard. Bushes and flowers throughout and a small herb garden against the house and right under the kitchen and dining room windows, so that the aromatic herbs filled the house. I LOVED when a cool breeze blew through because more often than not that meant that the smell of Basil, Thyme, Fennel, Cloves and Rosemary came with. Combine those with the salty spray of the ocean and you could find no better a place.

My cottage was privately owned and a little ways from a public beach but as long as tourists and stragglers kept away from my home I had no problems sharing the beach. I often enjoyed the sounds of children and adults playing in the foamy waves.

Today I found myself sitting on the beach a few precious feet from where the waves would stretch, wetting the sand with bubbling white fingertips as Draco and Blaise played amongst the waves.

It was odd seeing both grinning and laughing as they swam in and out of the waves, diving below larger waves and jumping into the not so large ones. Blaise and Draco made quite the sight with Blaise in a pair of black and white swim trunks, his brown skin gleaming in the sun. Draco in a pair of blue and gray swim trunks his pale skin a stark contrast to Blaise's but the longer he stayed in the sun the sooner that would change.

Draco had already suffered blistering sunburn earlier in the week after having scoffed at my suggestion of sunscreen. He had even scoffed at my helpful suggestions of an oatmeal bath and aloe lotion to alleviate said sunburn, or I should say he did until I myself patted him on the back. The words that had come out of his mouth hadn't been pretty but in the end he was forced to use both remedies when we all refused to make potions and salves for him.

Needless to say that he was wearing sunscreen and after his sunburn he was now beginning to tan ever so slightly. The poor boy was one of those `burns and then tans' people. I suppose I was lucky, I was usually one to redden slightly and then tan, then again…I also wear sun screen and see a lot more of the sun than he does.

“Are you enjoying the view,” asked an all too familiar snarky voice from behind me.

I looked up and as far back as I could at my husband and laughed, “If you're talking about me watching Draco and Blaise trying to drown each other in the calm waves then yes, if you're indicating I have impure thoughts then no. I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy and feeling overly full and whale-like, the last thing on my mind Severus is sex of any kind with anyone.”

At that he rolled his eyes and placed a beach towel on the sand beside me, “Why must you be such a drama queen?”

“Why must you be such a snarky git? The world may never know,” I said returning to my original view of the frolicking couple in the waves who were soon joined by a group of children.

“Are we moodier today or are you feeling uncomfortable,” he asked leaning closer.

“I love your way of finding how I'm feeling. It's weird but I suppose it works. I'm fine Severus, really. I'll let you know as soon as I start feeling the slightest bit uncomfortable. We've only been here three days and in less than two you and Lucius have been driving me into a corner. Please relax, this isn't like my illness. I will not allow anything to happen to me or our child.”

With that I felt a hand lay across my belly as if checking to see whether or not I was telling the truth. As if in response a none too gentle kick was delivered in that direction.

“Ouch, I swear if they're as abusive outside of my body then they're grounded for life.”

Severus chuckled, “Takes after his fathers already.”

“And why do you think it's a boy,” I asked.

“And what makes you think otherwise,” asked Severus in a somewhat serious tone.

“The dream I had on the train.”

“You had mentioned a dream and that you saw five children but you never gave us any details,” Severus said sounding kind of intrigued.

“I don't know if I should say; you're going to think I'm bonkers. It's silly but it seemed so real.”

“But you saw her in your dream,” he asked persistently.

“And what woman are you seeing in your dreams,” asked Lucius as he came over and joined us on the sand.

“Harry thinks he dreamed the sex of our baby on the train,” said Severus nonchalantly.

“And,” responded Lucius.

I sighed, “A girl, it's a girl and no I didn't cheat and ask Poppy.”

“Well that should be interesting, three men and a little lady,” responded Lucius amused.

“If it is a girl what names would you like,” I asked of the two of them.

“Leave me out of this, I shall not be the reason for my daughter to detest me,” said Severus with his hands held in front of him like a shield.

“Your ideas can't be that bad old friend,” responded Lucius with a laugh.

“I shall leave that to be imagined, just please don't name her after anyone we know. Let her choose her own path,” he responded solemnly.

“Oh, speaking of names and paths. I hear that Remus and Tonks have married and are expecting.”

“Wonders never cease,” responded Severus.

“I'm to be named Godfather,” I said rather proudly.

“And you expected less,” asked Severus.

I smiled and placed my hands on my stomach rubbing softly out of habit more than anything, “No, but it'll be nice for our little one to have a relative close to her age.”

“Well since you are carrying her, do you have any name ideas,” asked Lucius.

I thought back to the image of her I had dreamt and thought a moment, “I have a few ideas…”

“Describe her, the girl you saw in your dream,” Severus almost asked.

“She was older in the dream, around sixteen. She had pale skin and long curling black hair. Her eyes were wide and bright and a green so bright that it reminded me of my mothers. She seemed to be kind and high spirited and looked like she mothered the other children,” I said smiling.

“We could call her Artemis or Ceres,” offered Lucius.

“If you wanted to stay with your mothers families tradition we could call her a flower name like Belladonna or Rose,” suggested Severus.

“Those are all really pretty,” I said but in my mind none of those seemed to match her and. She seemed so strong and resilient and she needed a name that matched her.

“We have time, you still have a few more weeks before he or she is born,” responded Severus.

I nodded and continued to rub my belly. Time always seemed endless when you looked ahead and there were times when it came too soon and others where you couldn't wait for the next minute to come, the next hour, or the next day. This was one of those times for me.

To Be Continued……

Sorry it's so short and sorry it took so long. I moved again. I'm trying to get used to the new place, new people and new schedules.
