The Tabby, the Phoenix and the kitten

Chapter four

Poppy gave Minerva some paper towel, to clean herself up and left the room to go check on the students occupying the beds.

Minerva carefully wiped off the gel, and used an extra paper towel to wipe her eyes. Albus transfigured her muggle clothes back into her teaching robes and Minerva preformed a spell to make her eyes look less puffy and less like she had just been crying.

Albus walked over to his wife and hugged her. He was so excited to be having a baby, both he and Minerva had wanted one ever since they had gotten married.

He was also worried that when not if, Voldemort found out that he would go after Minerva and his child. He wouldn't let anything happen to them. Minerva, and now this baby were his world.

Suddenly he realized that Minerva had begun to cry in his embrace. He pulled out of the hug, his hands on her arms as he looked at her face.

"Minerva, my love, why all these tears. He said moving a hand to her face and gently wiping away her tears.

They stayed like that for a while before Minerva sighed and pulled her way out of her husbands arms.

"I," she began "have a class to teach, and I didn't mark any of these essays." She said picking up the unmarked essays that lay on the table.

"I will see you at lunch daddy." She said with a smile. She kissed his cheek and left the room an unfamiliar smile plastered on her face.

Albus' heart felt whole as she smile up at him and called him 'daddy'. He could not wait to have his son or daughter there in front of him actually calling him that as well.

The students who were in the hospital wing watched Minerva with shocked faces as she walked down the wing. They had never seen her smile like that ever.

Minerva chuckled at their faces, she could care less what they thought of her, nothing could ruin that moment of her life, nothing
