Chapter one

She cant be

"Hermione you don't need to study so much, when was the last time you slept" asked Ron as he looked at Hermione. "Ronald Weasley, I do need to study if I want to pass the newts." said Hermione in her know-it-all voice. "Hermione, please. I love you and you are going to make yourself sick. Have you even eaten today? Here have some chocolate frogs." said Ron as he placed the chocolate frogs on Hermione's parchment. "fine. What time is it. Asked Hermione as she bit into a chocolate frog and picked up the card. "Oi! Merlin! Its 3:00"shouted Ron. "Hermione, come on. Its time for bed. Why don't you sleep in my dorm tonight. Parvati and Lavender are not going to say anything. They will just think its sweet." said Ron with a devilish smile. "ok…you go on up. I need to clean up this mess. And I'm sure you want to clean off your bed and pick your boxers up off the floor." said Hermione biting back a laugh. "actually, yes. See you in a minute" said Ron as he leaned in and kissed her. Then he ran up the stairs two at a time.

He hurried to clean his room and changed into his pajamas. He waited about ten minuets and when she didn't come upstairs he went to check on her. When he got back to the common room he found her sprawled out on her stomach on the floor. "mione, are you ok. What's wrong" asked Ron urgently. Hermione tried to answer but no sound would come out. "mione, I'm going to take you to Madame Pomfrey ok" said Ron. Hermione could barley muster the strength to nod her assent.

Ron reached an arm under her knee and an arm under her shoulders and he hurried from the room. He walked as fast as he could without jostling Hermione.

"oh my! What's happened here?" asked Madame Pomfrey. "I found her lying face down in the common room." said Ron. "Hermione dear, can you talk to me." asked Madame Pomfrey. Hermione didn't answer, instead her head lolled to the side and she went unconscious. "WHATS WRONG WITH HER! DO SOMETHING!" shouted Ron. "My dear boy, I already know part of what is wrong with her. She is pregnant. I have been at Hogwarts long enough to know the sings. As for the rest, her body is just telling her that she needs to take better care of this new life inside her." said Madame Pomfrey in a very serious voice. "Mione's pregnant" said Ron as he sank down to the floor. "yes" said Madame Pomfrey in a motherly tone. "She cant be. She just cant be!" said Ron hysterically. "Can I do anything for you. Should I get you a chair so you can sit next to her. I just gave her a potion and she should come to soon. Do you want to tell her yourself?" asked Madame Pomfrey. "uh… a chair would be great. And yeah I would like to tell her. Can you do a charm or something to make sure first?" asked Ron desperately. "I already did… and she is." said Madame Pomfrey as she pulled a chair next to Hermione's bed an guided him to it and left the room.

"Ron" said Hermione in a forced whisper that made her throat burn. Ron looked at her with tears in his eyes. "Ron, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." said Hermione as loud as she could manage. "oh mione, its not that. I am the one who should be sorry." said Ron through the tears that were now running freely down his face. "Sorry for what? Ron, what is it! What's wrong! Where's harry." said Hermione as she started to get up. "No, lie down" said Ron as he pushed her gently back into bed. "Mione, your pregnant. I'm sorry mione. I love you. Please don't be mad." Ron said in a rush. "No, I am not! Don't be sorry because I'm not!" said Hermione in a pleading whisper.

"Ron" came his mothers voice from behind him. "mom, what are you doing here?" asked Ron. "Madame Pomfrey told us and we apparatated" said as she moved towards the bed. "Hermione, I hate to say this but you are pregnant. Don't worry, I am not mad. Me and were in a similar situation with Bill." said giving Hermione a calm and reassuring smile.

"Ron, we understand completely and you have our support." said as he gripped his sons shoulder affectionately. "We know that you love Hermione, so we are not going to punish you in any way." said in a light tone that Ron knew was probably being forced. "Well, Mione. I was planning to do this a little more romantically, but seeing as how I have the ring and your pregnant, I might as well do it now" said Ron as he got down on one knee and took Hermione's hand in his. "Hermione Granger, will you please marry me" asked Ron in a nervous voice. All Hermione could manage was a small squeak, as openly sobbed into 's chest. Ron laughed and said "can I take that as a yes". "YES" Hermione said as she flung her arms around Ron and started crying herself. "Wait, you haven't even see the ring yet. I have been saving up for months. But all my hard work is worth it." said Ron as he opened the ring box. "oh, Ron. Its so beautiful!" said Hermione and at the same time.

"I need to speak to Hermione about her new eating and sleeping habits, and the physical activities she can and cant participate in." said Madame Pomfrey as she came back in the room. The Weasley's turned to leaved and Hermione said "No, don't go. I would feel better if you stayed". "Ok, we will stay dear. Whatever makes you feel better" said in a motherly voice.
