You need a Giver

Chapter 21

Newt awoke to the sun shining down on his face, he blinked adjusting to the light and looked over to his pocket watch by his bedside table. Unfortunately, it was gone.

"Bloody Niffler." Newt grumbled as he pulled back the covers and got out of bed. Newt put on his robe and slippers then turned to his wife, Tina who was still asleep. It had been six months since she had announced she was pregnant and her belly had began to grow quite large, Newt still couldn't believe that she was carrying their baby.

Tina began to mumble in her sleep, something about pickles. A few weeks ago Hazel had came over to drop off a pregnancy gift filled with lots of food to satisfy Tina's appetite, Chocolate, fruit, cake and tons of pickles. Hazel had explained to Newt as he watched his wife attack the basket that pregnant women were much less prickly once they had something to eat. Newt had taken her word for it as he had tried to take a piece of chocolate from the box but was met with a deathly stare from Tina.

The wind blew through the open window and made the curtains flutter gracefully, Newt decided it was time for his wife to get out of bed. He leant down and whispered softly, "Tina dear, it's time to get up." She grumbled in response and turned the other way, he chuckled amused "Tina c'mon you need to eat and the ministry sent you some paperwork to fill out!" he tried to sound enthusiastic even though they both agreed that paperwork was so utterly dull. Tina let out a groan and pulled the pillow over her head. "Nooooooo," she complained lightly laughing at how ridiculous she sounded.

"Yesssssss," Newt retorted playfully as he shook Tina lightly to wake her up. Accepting that sooner or later she would have to get out of bed, Tina lifted her arms and allowed Newt to pull her away from the soft sheets.

There was not much Tina could do as a pregnant women, she had taken an early maternity leave after Newt had insisted that she stay home in case she were to get hit by a spell and cause any damage to the baby. Although Newt was right, Tina loved her job and hated to only do paperwork for the rest of her leave. She grumbled as Newt came over with the assignments she had to compete and a glass of water instead of her usual cup of coffee. Not being able to have her favorite caffeinated drink had affected Tina the most, she was so used to having coffee in her life that it was hard to let go. To her dismay Newt had taken the time to empty out the pantries of all things she shouldn't be eating during her pregnancy, She muttered a thank you as he set down the papers and kissed her forehead. The paperwork was as dull as ever, nothing too new just the usual signatures needed and-

Tina cried out when she felt something punch her in the gut. Newt looked over from her book in concern, "Everything alright love?" he asked, Tina nodded shakily, "Yeah..yeah.. I think the baby just kicked." Tina replied putting a hand on top of her stomach to only smile when she felt another magical kick. She took her husband's hand and placed it on top of her belly as the baby kicked once more, Newt's face changed in an instant from worried to awe. "Merlin's beard.." he whispered, Tina smiled then leant in to kiss him.

"HELLO!!!" sang a voice from the hall, it was Hazel. When Newt's mother entered the room he and Tina sprang apart and smiled politely.

"Hello mother," Newt said cheerily but blushing, Hazel smiled proudly, "I was just shopping in Diagon Alley when I came across the CUTEST toy for the new baby Scamander!" she said enthusiastically pulling out a small shopping bag and handing it to Tina, the couple curiously opened the gift the reveal a tiny stuffed dragon.

Tina laughed and Newt smiled at the gift, "Thank you Hazel! This is wonderful!" Tina gushed hugging her mother-in-law tightly. "Oh it was no trouble dear! Now I really should be off, the Hippogriffs need attending too." Hazel said kissing Newt on the cheek then waving goodbye.

As the door closed Tina plopped back on the couch and admired the stuffed dragon. "That was really nice of your mother to get us this." Tina said as Newt sat down beside her wrapping his lanky arms around her, "Yes, I think mother's just happy to be having a baby in the house again." he said staring at the gift. Tina nodded understanding.

The couple sat in silence for a few moments before Tina lifted her head and asked what was for dinner. Newt smiled because this was now usual routine for him and his pregnant wife, "I was thinking we could have chicken?" he said. Tina nodded as he got up to get his coat, there was a muggle deli in the town that sold delicious chicken, "Oh, and Newt," Tina called he turned to see her smiling,

"Can you get some more pickles?"
