Neville. My Neville.

Chapter 14

It had been almost two months since the wedding. A week ago I found out some exciting news. I was trying to find the right time to tell Neville but it never seemed like the perfect time but I had an idea. It was my night to cook dinner. I was going to make something normal but add a weird thing to it and tell him I thought it was just one of those weird pregnancy cravings. It would probably take him a minute to figure it out but he'd get it soon enough. I decided to make lasagna with something spicy added to it. I normally wouldn't eat spicy food but I was craving it. Neville came in while I was mixing the cheeses together. I put a very small amount of hot paprika in the meat that was on the stove and Neville asked, "What's that about Love? You usually hate spicy food." I smirked knowing what I was about to do and said, "Oh, I was just craving something spicy. Probably just one of those weird pregnancy things." Nevilles jaw dropped to the floor. I smiled and turned around to face him. "You mean- Y-you're p-p-pregnant?" I giggled at his stuttering. "Yes, Love. I'm pregnant." He hugged me very tightly,  picked me up off the ground, and spun me around. I loved it when he got so excited like this. Right as he put me down and about to pull me into another tight hug I said, "Careful there, Love. There's a baby down there."
------------LATER THAT NIGHT------------
I was about to lay down when I looked in the mirror after putting my hair up, and noticed a very very small baby bump. I started to call for Neville when before I could even say anything, he walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. "How are my girls doing?" "I'm fine but how do you know that our baby is a girl?" He sighed and said, "I just do." I laughed it off and went to bed.
———————A WEEK LATER—————-
Neville and I had told everyone besides my parents and Augusta. We decided to invite them over for dinner and just drop a couple hints here and there before I stand up and they can tell. Neville had an idea that was cute but we had decided against it. His idea was to just go over to their houses and knock on their doors and when they opened the door, they would see me with a shocked expression on my face and Neville would have one hand on my stomach and the other on my back and he would also have a shocked look on his face. I thought it was cute but I didn't really like it all that much. So we went with my idea. Once my parents arrived I was sitting at the table and Neville had made sure I was 100% comfortable. He was so overprotective of me over the past week. It really didn't bother me in the slightest. I kind of liked all the attention I was getting. Once Mom sat down, she looked at the weird food on my plate and asked why. I responded with, "I've been having a lot of weird food cravings lately." Mom smirked and Dad just looked overall confused. I winked at Neville and he smiled back. Right as he was about to sit down, his grandmother came in. I dropped a few couple random hints every now and then and one made Augusta laugh. I had said, "Yeah, I've been sick almost every morning, I've had these weird cravings, my back constantly hurts, and my ankles are swollen." After Augusta laughed at that I could tell her and Mom knew what was going on. Dad was still very confused and Neville squeezed my hand to tell me I should stand up to say something. I stood up and asked anyone if they wanted something to drink. At this point, Dad finally figured out what Mom and Augusta had figured out by what I was saying. Mom clapped her hands and announced, "Ha! I knew it!" I laughed and sat back down. We talked about pregnancy for a while and at one point mom mentioned something about how she had constantly been yelling at dad while giving birth to me and Neville looked terrified. I laughed and laid my head on his shoulder.
