Who? Lavender and OTA
When? Saturday afternoon
Where? St. Mungo's - gift shop
What? Lavender is finally out of the house
Rating? low; PGish

Lavender and Kevin had come to an agreement that she could go to the hospital to run through some paper work before the baby was born under a few conditions. He'd hired a bodyguard for her that Lavender was, under no circumstances, allowed to walk away from for any reason. She could agree to that - minus needing to use the loo, which she did... a lot these days. Secondly, she was only allowed to be at the hospital for one hour to do some paper work, give instructions to her team then come home. She agreed to all of that and he had to give her a foot massage and make sure there was something fabulous for dinner that night.

All agreements set, Lavender headed to the hospital, taking a Ministry car as she could no longer apparate or use the floo network in her condition. Walking was not easy anymore, nor was is very comfortable. At thirty-four weeks, due the first weekend in December, Lavender nearly waddled and was always tired. As she walked down the hall toward the gift shop, she earned stares and well wishes to which she smiled and thanked people. Once in her shop, she immediately sat down behind the desk, sending her assistants to gather up the ledgers for the month so she could work the books.

She was just about to get into it when someone approached the counter...

	"All right." Hermione felt bad about getting something for free, but she didn't look a gift horse in the mouth. "If you insist." A little grin crossed her features. "I certainly hope so! Though, she can be 'Baby Girl Entwhistle' until you figure something else out." Hermione's grin spread. "I'd love to!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's what I want to name her until she can name herself, but Kevin is afraid she'll come up with rebelious name like Superstar," she laughed, taking Hermione's hand. "She's wide awake right now and doing somersaults near my bladder," she said, resting Hermione's hand over where she felt the baby's foot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione crossed around the counter so she could stand next to Lavender and rest her hand on the other girl's tummy. "Wow, she is!" She said, feeling the baby move. It was amazing. "Maybe you should call her your little Gymnast." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-10-31 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	"A gymnist... like in the muggle olympics?" she asked with a smile. "That's cute, I like it," she laughed. "But if she doesn't stop kicking my bladder I'm going to have to use the loo," she warned, giving Sam the Bodyguard a look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione nodded and grinned. "Just like. Maybe she'll be an athlete. A professional Quidditch or Football player." She suggested, grinning as she pulled her hand back. "Do you want some company?" Hermione asked, glancing from Lavender to the bodyguard and back again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, a walk would be nice. Come on, Sam," she grunted as she slid down from the stool and started to walk down the hall. "What have you been up to this week?" she asked, "Is everyone all right in your department? Were you here the day of the accident?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, I just run the volunteer program," Hermione said as they started walking. She popped open her soda for a sip as they walked. "The volunteer room's on a different floor. I wasn't here when it happened. I came a little later." She added. "It was chaos, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-10-31 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	Lavender nodded. "They'd already sent me home and that's what started Kevin on this tangant about never leaving the house again," she said, glancing back at the bodyguard. "Sam's been around for about a week now so I can come and go from the flat. But, tell me about you... I need gossip!" she grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-10-31 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	Hermione gave a little laugh. "There's nothing to tell! You know me, Lavender." She shrugged, lifting the soda for another sip. "I have nothing. Nothing new to tell." Her life was so boring lately. "But I bet we could sort out some gossip, if you like." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-10-31 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Anything, just tell me what's going on and I'll be on it like white on rice," she grinned, walking into the ladies' room. She smiled sweetly at Sam who turned to literally stand guard. "Honestly, I think he was once part of the British guard or something," she shrugged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-11-01 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"Probably." Hermione said, glancing behind them at Sam as they passed through the bathroom door. "Well, Ron lit my kitchen on fire." She said. "That could be gossip." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-11-01 03:42 am UTC (link)
	"What is it with you and that boy?" she scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest as she leaned back against the counter. "Why did he light your kitchen on fire... how?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-11-01 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Hermione shrugged softly. "What do you mean, what's with me and Ron?" She asked, turning to look at herself in the mirror above her sink. "He was making me dinner, and we got distracted." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"First he knocked things over in the museum... then he sets your house on fire. I'm afraid of what he might do if you two ever make it to the bedroom," she smirked, walking toward a stall. It took Lavender a few extra minutes to do anything these days what with the large bowling ball under her robes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione went very pink at the idea of being in a bedroom with Ron. She couldn't say she was opposed to the idea, though. "Well, we'll see if that ever happens." She responded, quietly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-11-01 04:01 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah... well, just make sure that you don't let your potions lapse..." she grunted as she walked out, adjusting her robes. "Look what happens... you get fat, your feet swell up and you worry the kid might be named Superstar Megatron," she smirked, washing her hands. "Oh, and you waddle... that's fun!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-11-01 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	Hermione went even more pink. So pink she was almost purple. "I don't think you have to worry about that. We're nowhere near that stage." She grinned a little. "Maybe eventually." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-11-01 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Lavender was having fun. "Aww, I didn't mean to make you so flustered," she laughed, giving her a hug. "Please don't give up... I've listened to the way you talk about him and... don't give up. Go burn down his kitchen and I'm sure he won't care," she grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-11-02 12:26 am UTC (link)
	"I could never burn down the kitchen at The Burrow." Hermione said. She shrugged softly. "Maybe I'll ask him out this time. Maybe that'll take the pressure off." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-11-02 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds like a brilliant idea. Try to think of something he might like to do - involving food in some way, of course. Something simple... like dinner at a muggle diner and then a movie. I don't think he could burn down a movie theater," Lavender laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-11-02 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm. That's a good idea. I wonder if he'd like to go to the movies. It's a sort of a classic date." Hermione said, considering it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-11-02 02:46 am UTC (link)
	"It would be perfect," she smiled. "And it's simple so there's little room for errors like burning things down. Plus," Lavender added, "you can cuddle in the movie theater," she grinned. There was a polite knock at the door and Lavender sighed, knowing her time away from the Giant was over. "Play time is over," she rolled her eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-11-04 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	Hermione blushed a little. "We'll see about that." She turned at the sound of the knock, and frowned. "Right. I don't approve of him limiting your bathroom time." She said, turning to lead the way back out into the hall. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-11-04 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	"It's more like he's making sure that I'm alive in here," she sighed, walking beside Hermione as they left the ladies' room. Sam followed behind at a discreet distance. "I'm so glad you came down to the shop. This is going to be my last day until after she's born," Lavender smiled, running her hand over her belly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-11-04 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Wow. When are you due? Are you going to be gone for a long time?" Hermione couldn't imagine coming back to work after giving birth... at least not for a few months, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-11-04 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm taking a couple of months off, but I'll come by to visit," she smiled. "I can't imagine being in the house for so long with a crying baby," she grimaced. Yeah, Lavender definitely wasn't ready for the baby - it was going to take over her life for sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-11-04 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	"You'd better." Hermione responded, grinning softly. "Well, invite me over and I'll hold her for a bit so you can relax." Hermione had no idea what it was going to be like to have a baby, but she imagined it must feel isolating. She turned to hug Lavender. "Take care, okay? I have to start my shift." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-11-05 12:10 am UTC (link)
	Lavender embraced her friend and smiled. "You can come over whenever you want," she assured Hermione. "I'll get in contact with you soon," she promised. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-11-05 03:58 am UTC (link)
	"Good. I'll talk to you soon. Bye, Sam." She said, giving the bodyguard a little wave. A grin crossed her features, and she headed off down the hall. (Reply to this) (Parent)
