Reactions
I was sitting on the stool in the kitchen with mum and dad. I was the prefect opportunity. Hugo was staying the night over at Uncle Harry's and Aunt Ginny. I had to tell them, I told Scorpius at the train today. I didn't stay to see his reaction. I will likely hear from him soon. "Mum, Dad I have something to tell you."
Mum looked up from making tea for us. Dad looked up from the paper he was reading for work. "What is it, Rose?" Mum said.
I should just come out and say it. "Mum, Dad I'm pregnant."
Dad dropped the paper he was reading. Mum forgot about the tea. They both looked at me with expressions that I couldn't tell what they were thinking. After a minute, it felt like an hour. "Mum, Dad." I say.
That when Dad speaks up. "Rose, how can you be pregnant. Your only seventeen." Dad was got red in the face from yelling at me. He kept on yelling until. Mum spoke up.
"Ron! Stop it!" Mum yelled over Dad ranting and raving. Dad stopped yelling right away. Then Mum looked at me. Mum had a knowing look in her eyes. I felt like I was five again, when I broke Mum favorite vase. "Rose how did this happen?" Mum asked in a calming voice.
"She know how it happen." Dad scream out. "She had to have…" Dad couldn't finish the sentence. I didn't want to finish for him. Neither did mum. We all knew what he was going to say.
"Rose…" Mum started again. How do you tell your parents you been see someone they don't like and that you are going to have his baby. You just told him today about the baby and you don't know how he is going to react, because you left before he could take it all in. "Rose, please tell us what happen."
I started from the beginning. "It start at a party in the Gryffindor tower. I had too much to drink. And I slept with my boyfriend. That how I got pregnant." I didn't tell them who my boyfriend was.
"We didn't know you had a boyfriend." Mum said it too calmly for my liking. I looked at Dad; he was turning redder by the minute.
How do I tell them? I don't think they would like my boyfriend? "Umm…I didn't tell you because you may not like who he is." I look away from them, before they could read my eyes.
"Who is the father?" Again Mum said it too calmly.
"Umm… He is…" I couldn't finish.
Dad finally snapped. "Who the bloody hell is he, Rose Weasley." I'm surprised Dad lasted this long after Mum told him to shut up.
"Scorpius Malfoy." I say.
And speak of the devil. Before Mum and Dad could say anything Scorpius storm in? The door hits the wall. I look at Scorpius.
"Rose, how could you tell me like that. First you been ignoring me, then you tell me on the train you have something to tell me." He takes a breather before he continues. I try to stop him with my hands. He ignores me. "You couldn't tell me right away, no you tell me as we are getting off the train. Before I could take it all in you leave. Rose, so help before I…" He finally see my parents standing there with me. "I see you told your parents." I nodded.
I look over to my parents. I would have laughed if this were not serious. Their eyes were widen, their jaws were open. I don't if it was from me telling them that Scorpius was the father or from Scorpius outburst. "Mum, Dad you may want to close your mouth before a fly come in." I say trying to lighten the mood.
"Rose Weasley, you better not say anything right now. Before I do something I'm going to regret." Dad turns towards Scorpius. "You got my daughter pregnant. What are you going to do?"
"Well, that depends on Rose." Scorpius was standing up to my father. I couldn't have loved him more then right now. He walked over to me. "This is our mistake. We need make a decision about this baby."
I could have kissed him right there in front of my parents. I look at my parents to see how they are taking this. I could tell Dad does not like this at all. His lips were in a thin straight line. He is shooting daggers at Scorpius. He was red from his ears to chin. I look at my mum. She has a smile on her face. I could see the love she has me shining through her eyes.
"Mum?" I asked.
Like she could read my mind. "Scorpius is right. They are of age. They have a big decision to make. Whatever you do your father and me will behind you? Come on Ron, lets leave them." Mum garbed dad's hand. She starts to walk to the door. Dad didn't move an inch.
"My baby girl is going to have a baby. I'm too young to be a grandparent. 'Mione, you will be grandmother." Dad told Mum as a matter of fact. Mum dropped Dad's hand. As she realize that she was going to be a grandmother. She stinks in a chair. Dad kneels down by Mum and whisper in her ear.
I take it as it times to leave. I grab Scorpius hand and run upstairs to my room.
We walk into my room. You could tell it was a room of a teenage girl. There were things to tell she didn't want to leave her childhood and step into her future.
"Rose, what do you want to do?" Scorpius asked as he sat on my bed. I sit next to him. I lean into him.
"I don't know." I say. Do we keep it or get rid of it.
"I want to keep it." Scorpius said. I sit up.
"Are you sure?" I asked. I didn't want to trap Scorpius with the baby. We are both young, we have a life to live. "What about your dream of becoming a healer?"
"What about your dream of becoming a lawyer like your mum." Scorpius shot back. "Dreams change. Mine change the moment you told me you were pregnant. I want to have this baby with you. Will you marry me?"
"No." I said. Scorpius was shocked at what I said. Before he could say anything. "I don't want to get married because of this baby. I love to get married after the baby is born." I hug him and kiss him. "We'll have to tell my parents that we have come to decision. And tell your parents that they are going to become grandparents."
We both get off the bed and walk downstairs to find my parents are sitting in the sitting room. Mum has a cup of tea in her hand. Dad has a brandy. They both look up when we enter. I could see that they are still taking it in.
"Mum Dad, we are going to keep it." I say. They both nodded. "We are going to tell his parents." They still didn't say anything. Scorpius and I left the room to go to his parents.
