Severus found her by the window. At the doorway he stands silently watching, torn on what to do for her and what to do for himself. It had been two months. Was that long enough? Not enough time? Was the process of adjusting different for everyone? He had no clue of the answers, nor did she; though she refused to admit it scared her. Made her feel weak, and that alone was her biggest fear to appear weak in his eyes. Because of that Severus allowed her peace.

“Have you read this book? It's a muggle book, perhaps you have?”


He wasn't as silence as thought. He walks over to her, tracing his hand across the crib. Where The Wild Things Are.

“Isn't that the one with the kid has monsters under his bed or something like that?”

“It was my favorite when I was little, I was planninng on, well hoping to read it to ... well never mind.” He drops to his knees, taking a hold of her hand.

“Hermione I promise you one day we will have another child and you can read this book. Dr. Seuss and whatever else you want a thousand times over. I promise.”
