Silence filled 12 Grimmauld Place as Neville and Kiara sat at the dining table, and opposite them, Remus and Tonks. Kiara grasped Neville's hand under the table, almost tightly enough to break a bone of his, but who could blame her? This was the most nervous she had been in a long time.

After she had made the decision to stay, Remus had officially taken the role of her father, not that he hadn't before but only this time around, she didn't protest much. Which is why this moment felt more nerve wracking than any other.

Neville cleared his throat and looked at Remus, "obviously this – this wasn't planned but I need you to know that I am going to help in every way that I can, I love her and I just – yeah." He looked at Ki for some help,

She nodded, glancing at the pregnancy test that was kept in the middle of the table, "this is all very scary but if there's anyone in all the universes that I would ever do this with, it's Neville."

Remus put his elbow on the table and leaned in, "are you both in a relationship? Are you engaged? Are you planning on getting married? What's the deal?"

Kiara shrugged in response, "we are just taking things slow, one day at a time. We almost lost each other forever, and we're still recovering – we don't want to overwhelm ourselves."

"You're taking things slow with a baby on the way?"  Remus asked, leaning back on his and folding his arms across his chest. He always did this when he asked a rhetorical question, pleased with himself.

Tonks put her hand on his shoulder, "look what's happened has happened, and if you have decided to keep the baby, we will support you. Plus, we've known Neville for longer than you have, and we know that he'll take good care of you."

Neville nodded from beside you, "honestly, Kiara and the baby will be my first priority, I promise." He then looked at Remus, for the first time today, "I know how much you care about her and I hope I can match that, and I will."

Kiara looked at Neville and smiled softly, there really was no one else she'd rather do this with. She pecked his cheek and leaned her head on his shoulder, "I'm tired now, can we go upstairs?"

Remus nodded curtly, "you know what, I think we should invite everyone over for dinner today, and you can tell them your news." He looked at Kiara and smiled softly, "just because this is happening way sooner than any of us expected, doesn't mean it's a bad thing. It deserves to be celebrated."

Kiara felt herself tearing up, she nodded quickly, "thank you, that means the world coming from you."

Remus and Tonks excused themselves as they made arrangements for dinner, and Neville and Ki made their way upstairs as she slammed the door shut and laid down on the bed, clearly exhausted.

As soon as Neville sat down on the bed, Ki made her way to him, laying her head on his lap, and looking up at him,

"Would you rather have a boy or girl?" Ki asked, leaning into his touch as he stroked her hair gently.

Neville smiled, "a girl would be nice, but I wouldn't mind a boy either. What about you?"

You nodded in agreement, "I'd like a girl." She sat up and faced up, "you know I don't regret any of this, right? I mean - I am scared, definitely but I'm also really excited."

Neville grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers together. He had always dreamed about being a father. After what happened to his family, he only hoped someday he could have another shot at something simpler.

"I'm really excited too. I know you don't care for labels but I just want you to know that there is no one else for me, there never will be." He confessed, bringing her hand to his lips and placing a gentle kiss.

Kiara felt butterflies erupt in her stomach at his words. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that she should be in the same room as Neville Longbottom, let alone have a baby with him.

"There's no one else for me either, Nev. This is it; this is all I want. You are all I want," she admitted, and leaned in to place a kiss on his lips.

Neville deepened the kiss as he pulled her onto his lap with ease. His lips made its way to her neck immediately, leaving kisses everywhere, making her moan.

"We have to meet everyone for - for dinner." Kiara managed to say between the moans.

Neville nodded as his hands rubbed circles on her waist under the sweater, "five more minutes, and then we can get ready."

Kiara smirked, "from what I remember, we're going to need a lot more than five minutes, love."

Neville chuckled as he flipped her over as she let out a giggle, loving this side of him. He hovered over her, quickly taking his shirt off, "well, they can all wait a little longer."

Sirius and Des looked at a full house, very confused. Des walked over to Tonks in the kitchen, who was trying her level best to cook a proper meal. Des leaned on the counter and looked at Tonks, whose hair was now red as she failed miserably at cooking what possibly resembled a beef stew.

"I wish I could help you with that, but it's quite possible that I might be worse at it." Des admitted, walking over to Tonks who nodded quickly. Des stirred the pot, trying to figure out what exactly was in it, "what all this for anyway? Is it Remus' birthday or something?"

Tonks chuckled, "well – if Sirius and you ever left the bedroom, you would know what is going on in this house."

Des blushed profusely and nodded, "alright, I deserve that. Now, will you tell me what the fuss is about?"

Before Tonks could respond, they heard Kiara yell from the living room and both of them dropped everything and rushed to see what had happened.

"I am absolutely tired of both of you just trying to scare him every chance you get. I will not stand the father of my child being intimidated by you both." Ki yelled at Sirius and Remus who simply stood there, not saying a word.

In the duration that she had been here, and been interested in Neville – Sirius and Remus had tried their very best to intimidate the poor boy. Out of respect and seniority, Neville never said anything back to them, it just didn't feel right. Kiara on the other hand, had clearly had enough.

By now, everyone else had arrived. Blaise, Ellie, Ana, Ron, Mel and Draco were all there, as they carefully stood up, not wanting to get involved in whatever was going on.

Sirius raised an eyebrow at her, "father of your child? Wait – is this why we're having people over? Is this why Tonks is trying to cook – curry?"

"It's beef stew, Black." Tonks said, rolling her eyes as she folded her arms across her chest.

Kiara nodded, "yes I am pregnant, and it's Neville's and no, it wasn't planned but we are very excited about this and I would just really appreciate it if you stopped treating my boyfriend like he's dating your teenage daughter."

"Boyfriend?" Neville asked, moving closer to her. "I thought you didn't want to put labels?" A smirk crept on his lips as he sighed in relief, internally. As much as he wanted to respect Ki's decision about not bothering with labels, he did love the sound of being called her boyfriend, and there was no denying that.

Kiara let out a small laugh, "I know I said fuck labels, but you are my boyfriend, and soon you're to be the father of our baby.  I really do hope that someday you'll be my husband, you know?"

Neville nodded as he cradled her face in his hands, "I know, and I absolutely love that." He leaned in to place a kiss on lips, no care in the world about who was around them.

Des cleared her throat as they pulled away, "I knew something was wrong when you refused alcohol the other day at the party, I should have guessed."

Kiara smiled, "back then I just had my doubts, I was throwing up, I missed my period so I just wanted to be careful, just in case." She then looked towards the rest of the girls, "so this is the big news – I'm pregnant."

Ellie, Ana and Mel all walked towards Des and Ki as they engulfed each other in the most comforting group hug. This felt like another big milestone for the girls, one of the many that would follow soon enough.

Ana clapped her hands together, "so – do we have names? Do we know the sex of baby? Oh, what color will you paint the room?"

Ron wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer, "slow down, love." He then looked at Neville, "I am curious though, have you decided anything yet?"

Before Neville could say anything, Kiara butted in, "I think if it's a boy, we'll name him Frank, and if it's a girl, we'll name her Alice." She then turns towards Neville, "would that be okay?"

Neville's eyes softened as he felt him tear up a little, "it would be lovely. Frank Remus Longbottom-Jones and Alice Tonks Longbottom-Jones."

Kiara wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, "I love you so much."

"And I love you."

Kiara sat on the couch as she groaned in pain, "this is so fucking uncomfortable, you have no idea," she said, looking at Mel, Ana, Ellie and Des who were currently babysitting Kiara while everyone else was at work.

Mel smiled at her, "did those medicines help? The ones that Draco sent for the pain, he said he got some imported from Asia as well."

Kiara shook her head, "oh yes, they did. I asked Neville to send him a thank you letter but I doubt he remembered. He's been more anxious than I have about this baby coming."

Ellie nodded, "I can imagine. He really loves you and he probably just wants this to go as perfectly and pain free as possible." She chuckled and continued, "he's been ranting to Blaise about how nervous he is about being a father."

Kiara smiled softly as she touched her belly, "I just know he's going to be great. This baby is going to have the most loving family possible, I genuinely don't think I would have been able to do this without you girls."

Des removed a box from a bag and handed it to Kiara, "this is from the four of us, for you."

Kiara looked at her confused and as she opened it. It was a photo album, filled with memories from their time here. The first page had a picture of all girls in their robes with their wands and at the bottom it said, "we truly are magical."

Kiara chuckled as she wiped her tears away, "this is so cute, I absolutely love it – thank you so much."

Ana hugged her from the side, "and now you can continue filling this, more memories as you go."

Just then, Neville, Remus and Tonks returned from Hogwarts. Neville immediately squished himself between Ellie and Kiara, as he pressed a kiss on Kiara's forehead,

"You feeling okay? Is the baby okay?" He asked as he touched her belly, "can't wait for this little one to come out already, feels like forever."

"Is that equivalent to – 'I can't wait to have sex with my girlfriend again'?" Ellie asked, playfully nudging him.

Neville chuckled, "nah, we've been having sex." He then realised that Remus was around too. Neville cleared his throat, avoiding Remus' glare, "I mean – you know...safe sex."

Kiara yelped in pain, "I – I think my water just broke?" she groaned in pain loudly as she held on to Neville's hand, "oh my god, that hurts so much."

Tonks rushed to her side, "okay I need you to breathe, Des, Sirius and Remus are going to get the healer, and you're going to be absolutely okay, you hear me?"

Kiara nodded as she breathed heavily, "can't you just wave a wand and get it out of me?"

Neville pulled her closer as he soothingly stroked her hair, "love it's a little more complicated than that but I promise you're going to be okay, I'm going to be by your side the whole time, I swear."

Kiara smiled at him, "I love you so much."

–

After two long hours that felt like an entire day, Alice Tonks Longbottom-Jones was born. Her eyes were like Neville's, and her smile like Kiara's.

Kiara held the baby close to her chest, "welcome to this magical world, Alice." She then looked at Remus, "want to hold your grand-daughter?"

Remus chuckled lightly as he took Alice in his arms, "you're the reason I am officially the youngest grandfather in the world and I don't even mind."

Sirius smiled from beside him and handed Kiara a small bag, "a little something for baby Alice, from Des and me."

Kiara opened it to see a small green and red onesie with 'Mischief Managed' written on it. She chuckled and looked at Sirius and Des, "this is the cutest thing ever, thank you so much."

Neville smiled and then cleared his throat, "so uh – Kiara and I have been talking and we figured, for the first couple of months we will stay here, and then we just thought it would be a good idea if we moved into a house together."

Remus nodded, "I think that is a wonderful idea."

"Wait, really?" Kiara asked, clearly surprised. She raised an eyebrow at him suspiciously, "you're okay with us moving out?"

Remus shrugged, "I trust Neville, and I trust you and I think the three of you as a family need that space together. I mean, obviously I will keep dropping in unannounced, but other than that, yes – I'm okay with it."

Kiara looked at Neville, "that was easier than I expected." She then looked at Remus again, "do you think I could get one of those flying cars too?"

"Alright – don't push your luck now." Remus said as everyone else chuckled.

Laughter and happiness filled the room, as they all took turns holding Alice, like the one big happy family they all were.
