It had been a year since Hermione's wedding, and she sat in her sofa at her home in Clacton, reading a small novel and her head placed delicately on a cushion.

Jack walked in, his face pale with worry and grief, he walked towards the sofa and sat on the coffee table, taking a deep breath and running a hand through his hair.

"What is it, darling?"Hermione Asked, dog earring her book page and placing it on the floor slowly.

Jack wrung his wrists nervously and gulped in air, tears in his sparkling eyes.
"I . ."He began, with a shaky voice.
"I'm dying, Hermione"

She sat up and looked down, before looking him in the face with tear struck eyes.

"I'm sorry . . My love.

She got up and walked up the stairs, before bursting into a fit of tears and slamming the bedroom door, falling with a thud on the floor and hugged herself tightly, sobbing.

How could this happen?!
Of all the things in the world, Jack was her rock.

Jack walked up the stairs quietly, checking on their baby daughter who was asleep, and opened the door to their bedroom, finding Hermione, leaning against the low board of the bed, head up and looking at the ceiling with blurred vision, her lip trembling, chest rising and falling rapidly, her mascara smudged down her face, her eyes blood shot and sore.
Her knees where up, and her elbows her placed against them.

"Hermione . ."he began.

She looked over at him, and bit her bottom lip.
Jack sat down next to her on the floor and pulled her into an embrace.

"It's going to be fine, you'll be fine . ."he smiled against his tears that poured onto his pale cheeks and he ran his hands over her waist.

"I love you, my gorgeous, gorgeous wife"
Hermione sucked in a breath and wiped his tears from his cheeks.

"I love you too.. I'm so happy I was hit by that truck,"she laughed quietly, placing her head softly against his shoulder.

"I'm not, you could've died!"he cried, before kissing her head and pulling her closer.

"You. . . Have made my life so amazingly beautiful and fun that, everything will be fine, you and our baby will be fine, and you don't need to be sad, my love"

Hermione sucked in another shaky breath and kissed him, her hands behind his head.
"Don't," she whispered, pressing her forehead against his.
"You are NOT leaving me! You can't! I need you! We are a team, and team means life, you and me forever,"She cried, her voice muffled by her tears.

"Forever,"
