Pansy's Parchment II

“You want a baby?” He asked with a hint of a smile.



“Yes. I’ve been thinking about it for several months and I’d would like to have a baby with you.” She said. “If you agree of course. If you aren’t ready to be a father, I will understand.”



“If you want to have a baby, Pansy, I would consider it an honor to inseminate you.” He said in all seriousness. Pansy burst out in giggles, then erupted in laughter as Ron pushed his chair back and stood and yanked off all his clothes. Pansy’s first insemination took place right there in the kitchen on the table they shared their anniversary dinner on. Dessert was left for the morning.









Two months later Pansy wasn’t yet pregnant and it was amusing to Ron that she was panicking already. “Calm down, my Pansy, it hasn’t been that long since you stopped taking the contraceptive.”



“I know but your one of seven, Bill already has two, Charlie has twins, Fred and George’s wives are both pregnant, even Percy has two.”



“What do you mean ‘even Percy’?” He asked, in bed one evening.



“No offense love, but the whole of Slytherin house always thought he was gay.” She explained snuggling close.



“Well to be honest, half of Gryffindor thought he was as well.” He said, smiling as Pansy laughed.



“Do you think there might be something wrong with me?” She asked.



“Pansy,” he looked down at her, “enough of this. We’ve only been trying for two months.” She fell silent for several long moments. “What is it?”



“What makes you think…….”



“Pansy, we have been married five years and you travel with me, so we are practically inseparable. Do you honestly think I don’t know when you have something on your mind?” He asked, kissing her head.



“Alright, point proven. I was thinking it might be a good idea to see Neville?” She asked.



“Pansy, we’ve only been trying a few months, and you want to see a Healer?” He asked, rolling his eyes.



“Well, he might be able to help, especially if there are any problems.” Her voice was almost a plea and if it was one thing he couldn’t stand it was a genuine plea.



“Alright, alright,” he cuddled her closer, “if you feel that strongly about it, we’ll go and see Neville.”



“Thank you.” Pansy still had a restless sleep and it worried Ron. He thought she was being too hard on herself, and he knew that when she referred to problems she was referring to something she might be doing wrong. Ron knew that while it was possible to get pregnant from one encounter, sometimes it took time and patience. He would hate to think that Pansy was running herself insane thinking of issues, when all they needed was some time to let it happen.



He closed his eyes and settled to sleep. Neville will be able to assuage her fears.



They managed to get an appointment right away and Pansy nearly ran in when they were called. Her eyes followed Neville as he came in.



“Hey Ron,” Neville said, “how’s the parents?”



“They’re good, thanks Neville.” He said as the two friends hugged briefly.



“Alright, then, your chart here says you are having problems getting pregnant.” He said sitting behind his desk.



“Yes, Neville.” Pansy said. “We’ve been attempting it everyday, aside from my monthlies of course.”



“And how long have you been trying?” He asked, looking at the parchments.



“Two months.” Ron said, hiding his grin.



“I thought this might have been a mistake.” He said pointing to something in his file. He relaxed in his chair and looked at them. He knew instantly that this was Pansy’s doing. Ron was reclined in his own chair and with the same casual body language as himself. Pansy however, was leaning forward in her chair and watching his face with interest. “Can I ask why you thought it necessary to make an appointment after only two months of trying?” Ron noticed he was asking Pansy directly.



“Weasley juice is potent. You know Ron is one of seven and his brothers have children. There is no reason I shouldn’t have gotten pregnant right away, unless there is a problem.” She explained.



“Juice?” Ron said beside her, chuckling.



“Ron, please.” Pansy said, not looking away from Neville.



“I agree that Weasley ‘juice’, he lifted his eyebrows at Ron when he said that particular word, “is strong, but I would consider it an issue after several months.”



“But we are both young and healthy, and with his family history, I should be pregnant right away.” Pansy was forcing her words out fast.



“First off, Pansy, calm down.” Neville said. “When did you decide that you wanted to try and have a baby?”



“About four or five months ago.” She said.



“And what form of birth control did you use?” He scribbled notes in the file.



“She took a potion.” Ron told him.



“Did you?” Neville asked, not looking up from the chart.



“No, just her.” Ron said.



“If you decided to have a baby four or five months ago, why did you only stop birth control two months ago?” He asked looking at Pansy.



“I didn’t stop taking it until it was the right time to talk to Ron about it.” She said.



“Oh ok, I see. You made the decision, then broached Ron about it?” He said.



“Yes.” She answered him.



“Well, I still think it is way too soon to worry, but if it will relax you, we can check some things out.” He offered.



Pansy smiled and let out the breathe she was holding. Ron smiled when he saw her reaction and gave Neville a nod. They spent some time give blood and urine samples, taking temperatures, and in Ron’s case giving a sperm sample.



Neville said he would owl them when he had some results. Pansy and Ron left the office feeling optimistic. Pansy, because Neville seemed confident in her health, and Ron, because Pansy was finally calming down at it. He still thought they only needed some time, but whatever she needed to do to make her happy he would do.
