"I'm not going to cook a full breakfast for you each time I need you to wake up," Hermione teased lightly, shaking her head at the thought. She can't help but imagine that Molly will be over often to help, especially in the first few weeks as Ron and herself adjust to the needs of the baby. "Although I wouldn't be surprised if your mother comes by often with exactly that. After raising the seven of you, I'm sure looking after one grandchild will seem easy to her. Your mother's really quite the woman."

Shaking her head, Hermione pours out two cups of tea, adding cream to Ron's and holding it out gently for him.

"You know, in another month, we might be able to learn the sex of the baby," she remarked, taking a small sip of tea.
