Snitches and Quaffles

Chapter 31

It was now late May, Alfons came home with some news.

"Hey love," he said kissing his wife's cheek.

She turned and smiled at him.

"I have some good news."

"What's that?"

Alfons grinned and said. "I was offered the position of Herbology Professor at Durmstrang."

Liesel hugged her husband and said. "That's great, dear."

Alfons grinned.

"I think it's time we celebrate, both the kids are at their grandparents," Liesel smirked, taking her husband's hand.

"Lead the way, love."

Liesel led him towards their room. They began snogging passionately. Alfons' hands began to explore his wife's body per usual when she pulled away.

"What's wrong, love?"

Liesel didn't respond she just got up and walked to the bathroom leaving her husband confused and curious. Those emotions were soon satisfied when he saw his wife in some very sexy lingerie. Though, she was always sexy to him no matter what she was wearing.

"You like what I'm wearing, my sexy professor husband," she cooed, seductively as she sat down.

"I sure do, love but you're not the type to wear this lingerie."

"Blame it on, Joanna. She convinced me to buy it."

Alfons nodded as they continued making love.

-September/October 2004-

It was now September, Alfons was getting ready to leave for his year at Durmstrang.

"I'm going to miss you, love," Alfons said, kissing her softly.

"Bye, I'm going to miss you too."

Alfons glanced down at her slightly protruding stomach. She was just under three months pregnant since they conceived this child in the middle of June. This is technically the second time she's been pregnant during their six years of marriage but she's been pregnant three times all together. So, it's obvious that it would take a toll on her body. It's been a long three months since she's had horrible morning sickness and other stuff that comes with pregnancy.

Liesel looked up at her husband. "Stop feeling guilty for leaving, you'll only be gone until Christmas."

"I know but your pregnancy isn't going well, I have to be here."

"I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself and two kids while going through my third pregnancy in six years."

"Technically, it's your second since we conceived our daughter out of wedlock but I get what you mean."

Liesel took her husband's hand and rested it her stomach.

"Please don't give mummy too much trouble while I'm gone," he said, leaning down and pressing his lips to her stomach.

"I have Helga to help take care of the house and the kids if I need her."

Alfons nodded, stood up and went to go say goodbye to his kids. After the goodbyes, he left.

Liesel was told by her healer to be on bedrest the next month so she asked Helga to come help with the house and the kids. She was happy to do that.

"Ugh, I'm never letting your brother touch me again," Liesel groaned, annoyed.

Helga chuckled. "You know that won't happen, you two can't keep your hands off each other."

"That's how I ended up knocked up out of wedlock, though I'm hoping this baby is a girl so we will outnumber the boys," Liesel said, rubbing her stomach.

"Well, with Fonzie's genes it's bound to be another boy. He's the only boy in our family maybe you'll have all boys other than Sera."

"Possibly."

Helga nodded.

-Holidays 2004-

It was now two months later, Alfons came home expecting to see his wife waiting for him but she wasn't.

"Hey Fonzie," Helga greeted her younger brother.

Alfons turned to his sister. "Where's Lotte?"

"She's been on bed rest since late October," Helga told him.

Alfons rushed up to their room to see his wife sleeping peacefully blankets around her perfectly round stomach. He walked over to her.

"Alfie, is that you?"

"I didn't mean to wake you, love."

She smiled weakly . "I was already awake due to our child's kicking."

Alfons rested his hand on her perfectly round stomach. Their child was kicking non-stop.

"I know you're upset, I didn't write you. I didn't want to worry you during your first term," Liesel apologised.

"You know I would've come home the minute you wrote me, it's kind of good that you didn't."

Liesel smiled back at him.

"But I'll be here for the next few weeks, your wish is my command."

Liesel nodded.

Over the next few weeks, Alfons took care of his wife. They celebrated Christmas and New Years. Alfons reluctantly left after the holidays.
