Chapter 1

It couldn't be. She just couldn't be. Pregnant. She was only twenty. Not only that, but the father was the sworn enemy of her brother. Not only that, but his family was the sworn enemy to her family. Shaking her head, she looked down at the tip of her wand again. A green plus sign starred back up at her. It was just so unholy. She hated that colour now. She had been so desperately hoping for the red minus sign. Sighing, she got up and walked in to the adjoining bathroom. She looked into the mirror at her reflection. Her long red hair was set in ringlets that fell gracefully down her back. Her hazel eyes glistened with the un shed tears that she was trying so hard to keep in their place. After splashing warm water on her face, she went out into her living room that she shared with her two best guy friends. She sat down at the kitchen table and summoned a glass of cold water. It wasn't long before she found herself absorbed into the Daily Prophet. She was shaken from her reading with the sound of someone apparating into the living room. When she looked up, she saw herself staring into the face of not only one of her best friends, but of her boyfriend as well. With her eyes fixated on her boyfriend, she gulped before standing and placing her glass in the sink without acknowledging them in the slightest.

"Hey Gin." Blaise said as he walked to the fridge to get himself a butterbeer

"Hello Blaise" she said as she waved her wand so the sink full of dishes would start doing themselves

"Hello to you too babe" Draco said as he plopped himself down on the couch

"Hello Draco" she said going over to give him a kiss on the cheek

"Oi! Gin, do you have that medical spell book Daphne let you borrow?" asked Blaise "I am seeing her tonight and she needs it back"

"Yeah Blaise, it is on my bed" Ginny said "Just go right in and get it"

"Okay. I will do after my shower" he said as he left Draco and Ginny in the living room

After a moment, Draco grabbed Ginny and pulled her onto his lap, where she quickly cuddled up and let her tears silently fall. It took Draco a moment to realize that something was wrong. When he felt his shirt started to feel wet, he pulled her away to look at her. Seeing her eyes red and puffy and her cheeks stained with tears, he immediately got worried.

"Ginny love, what is wrong?" asked Draco wiping her tears away with his thumbs

"Oh Dray. It's ruined." Ginny said standing up to start pacing the living room before she could stop herself

"What is?" he asked

"This!" she exclaimed gesturing towards the two of them

"How is it ruined?" asked Draco

"It just is" she said

"Are you ending it?" he asked

"No." she said crying at the thought

"I see... Am I ending it?" he asked

"I hope not" she said

"Well Ginny, what is it if it isn't that?" he asked

"I screwed up!" she yelled

"How did you screw up Ginny?" he asked suddenly getting very scared

"I just did, alright" she said letting more tears cascade down her face

"Did you cheat?" he asked seriously

"NO!" she said seriously "The charm I put on myself with your wand would have come into affect if I did"

"What charm?" he asked curiously

"Draco" she said in a warning voice

"Sorry... What is it Ginny?" he asked even more seriously then before

"Oh Draco. I'm pregnant" she said

Silence was followed by what she said. Draco sat there on the couch, staring straight ahead with an un readable expression set on his face. Without warning, he snapped his head towards Ginny.

"Your pregnant?" asked Draco pointing towards her stomach

"Yes" she said nodding as she came to stand in front of him

"As in you are going to be having a baby?" he asked

"Yes" she said nodding her head again

"We are going to be parents?" asked Draco as he stood, causing her to back away in fear

"Yes" she replied again with uncertainty

"As in... We are created a new life?" he asked

"Yes" she replied gulping and backing away from him again

He was silent again before his face went from expressionless to grinning like a fool. Before she could comprehend what was happening, she being pulled into a big bear hug. He spun her around and laughed cheerfully. When he put her back down on her feet he pulled her as close as she could get to him without hurting the baby and kissed her as passionately as he could without hurting her. When they parted, she just looked at him with wide eyes and slowly sat back down delicately touching her lips.

"Ginny?" he asked standing in front of her looking alarmed "What's the matter?"

"Your happy" she said in bewilderment looking up at him

"I'm not happy Ginny, I'm exhilarated with happiness" he laughed before getting serious when an unwanted thought entered his mind "Aren't you?"

"To be honest, I don't know." she said "I mean... I love you, hell, I'm in love with you and I love the idea of having a family with you."

"But...?" he asked

"But what?" she asked back in return

"Then what is the problem?" he asked crouching down in front of her

"Our families." she said

"What do you mean?" he asked

"They don't even know we are a couple. My dad and brothers nearly died when I said I was going to be moving in with Blaise and Theodore. I hate to see what they will be like when they find out I have not only been dating you for two years, but that I am expecting your child as well. A child who could, most possibly be an heir to the Malfoy name and fortune" she said "That is just my family, yours hates mine, and vise versa. Our fathers are sworn enemies. You and my brother are sworn enemies. Neither of those two are going to be excepting of this. Neither will anyone else in my family"

"Yeah" he said quietly as what she said wiped the grin off his face as he sat down next to her on the couch and pulled her into his arms "But be that as it may, once my family sees that I am happy, then they will except it. Your family will in due time Gin"

"Are you sure?" she asked crawling back into his lap

"No..." he said smirking "I was just sort of hoping you were going to agree"

"Well, it won't be so bad if your parents except it" she said laughing

"Parents? I said family" he said

"Right. Who are they?" she asked summoning a piece of parchment, ink and quill

"Why?" he asked raising an eyebrow as she opened the ink bottle and dipped the quill in it

"I want to impress them" she said shrugging getting the quill ready to write whatever he said

"Oh... Okay. Well... there are my parents, Narcissa and Lucius. I have a younger sister, Josephine, who as you know goes to Beauxbatons. My mother just recently got into contact with her older sister Andromeda, she is the mother of Nymphadora Tonks, whom my family is also in contact with. My father's sister, my Aunt Louisa and her husband Otto. They have a son and a daughter. Francis and Anastasia. They go to Durmstrang and Beauxbatons respectively." he said

"Not a big family" she said

"Malfoy's and Black's don't reproduce like the Weasley's" he said

"True." she said putting the ink and quill away

"Now, when shall we tell our families?" he asked

"Soon. From my calculations I am about four months pregnant" she said "But if what you say is true, I think we should tell your family first"

"Granted, then we have them to lean on if your family rages more so then needed, which I can say from knowing Ron, that it will be happening" Draco said nodding his head in agreement "Go get ready and we will go right over to the manor"

A few minutes later she returned to the living room dressed in a pair of dark wash blue jeans and a amethyst purple long sleeved v necked satin like fabric shirt. Over top she was wearing a black trench style coat that came down to her mid thigh. Her black heeled boots gave her an extra two inches. She had charmed her hair to go from its messy ponytail to a mane of subtle curls. She had chosen to wear her make up in neutral tones that were slightly darker for a bold effect. As she walked up to Draco who had his mouth hanging slightly open, she was putting in her platinum hoop earrings that he had given her the month before. She raised an eyebrow at him in question as she pulled out her lip gloss and applied it to her lips. Summoning her purse, she looked at Draco and smirked at his expression.

"Close your mouth Draco. We don't want your tongue to roll out onto the floor now do we." she said swinging her purse over her shoulder. "You ready to go?"

It took all of Draco's strength to shake him out of his daydream and get back to the real world. He stood and offered her his arm and apparated them to the front gates of the manor once she had linked with his arm. Once in the front gates, it was her turn to be amazed at the sight before her. She looked from Draco to the opposing manor house standing on the hill in front of her. Gulping, she started to walk forward, pulling Draco behind her.

"Your eager" he smirked

"I had a moment of bravery, so I took it" she said slowing her pace "But now I am scared again"

"What are you scared of?" he asked

"What your parents will do" she said

"Gin. You have nothing to fear." he said stopping and coming to stand in front of her

"How so?" she asked looking up at him

"For one, you are a pure blood. For two, contrary to what people believe my family is more excepting and loving then what we let on. Once they see that I am happy they will except you with opening arms and hearts. For three, I taught you the etiquette and manners of nobility for times like this, just like you asked, and it comes naturally to you. You will be fine" he said pulling her close and kissing her forehead

"Yeah..." she mumbled quietly

The rest of the walk up was a quiet affair. Both of them were so lost in their own thoughts, that they were not aware that they had entered the main lobby until a house elf appeared. After the elf had taken their coats, Draco grabbed Ginny's hand and slowly lead her to the family parlour. When they had reached the mahogany door that lead to the family parlour, Draco stopped, and kissed Ginny with such passion that she was sure he was going to apparate them to his bedroom.

"You wait here love" he said pulling away and fixing his appearance "I'll come and get you once I have talked to them"

After he had opened the door and entered the parlour, she pressed her ear to the door and listened.

"Draco darling" greeted a women Ginny had never heard before "How are you?"

"I'm well mother" he responded

"Draco son" greeted his father

"Father" he said "Uncle Otto. Aunt Louisa"

"Hello Draco my boy" greeted another man she assumed was his Uncle Otto "How has life been treating you?"

"Very wonderfully in fact" he said and Ginny could hear the grin in his word

"How so?" asked the other women who Ginny assumed was his Aunt Louisa

"Well I think you should all be sitting for what I am about to tell you all" he said "And we will need some tea as well"

After a few seconds, Ginny heard the rustling of feet as everyone sat down. Sighing, she sank down so that she was crouching at the door.

"What is it son?" asked Lucius

"Well Father, I have some news that is quite joyful to me" he said "As you all know I have been dating a girl that I am in love with for the past two years. Today I went to go see her at her flat and she told me some news that is brilliant. She is expecting my child"

Silence was met for moments before his mother spoke up.

"Well... When do we get to meet her?" she asked

"She is standing right outside the door waiting none to patiently and calmly to meet you, I wasn't aware that there would be more then just mother and father here, so if she glares at me upon entry, I deserve it in a sense. I'll go and get her now if you'd all like?" Draco said joyfully before switching his tone to warning "But Father, please be civil and make no remarks on her family"

"Have no fear son, as long as she isn't a muggle born, I will except her no matter what" Lucius said

When Ginny heard footsteps nearing the door she was pressed up against, she quickly stood up and came to stand in front of a family portrait of a young Draco with his family.

"Love, are you ready?" he asked

"Quite" she said smiling a genuine smile before pointing to a picture of a younger Draco riding a broom stick "How old are you there?"

"Ten. I just received my first broom stick." he said before offering his arm to her "Come along"

When they entered, the four occupants were speechless. Never in there wildest dreams did they imagine Draco bringing in a red haired girl. Clearing his throat, Draco introduced the girl to the four other occupants of the room.

"Ginny, this is my mother Narcissa, my father Lucius" he said gesturing to the each of them as Ginny gave them a nod of her head in greeting before turning to his aunt and uncle "This is my fathers younger sister Louisa and her husband Otto. This is my girlfriend, Ginny Weasley"

"It is a pleasure to meet you all" Ginny responded with more confidence then she felt as Draco left her side and went to get her a chair

"The feeling is mutual Ginny" replied Lucius first, shocking Ginny speechless

"Thank you Sir," she said as she gracefully sat in the chair offered her and slid one leg behind the other so they were crossed at the ankles and folding her hands together on her lap

"So tell me Ginny." Narcissa said shaking her head out of the shock that had taken over "How did you meet my son?"

"Through Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott" Ginny replied smiling "They were terribly dreadful at Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration. I was asked by Professor Snape that I tutor them for their NEWTS as I was in their classes. A few months after, they brought Draco claiming he needed help as well and we hit it off right away"

"That is nearly four years ago" expressed Louisa "Draco said you had only been dating for two years"

"We have. Although the chemistry was there and the feelings, we didn't act on them until I was out of school, which was three years ago. We were going to become a couple then, but Draco got offered that year apprenticeship at the German Ministry of Magic. He only came back two years ago" Ginny explained as Draco reached over from his seat and put a loving hand on her knee

"So you two have been together since he has come back?" asked Narcissa

"Since the day mother" Draco said smiling

"And... you felt no need to inform us?" asked his aunt

"I was waiting until Ginny was ready. I haven't met her family" Draco said

"They don't even know I am dating him either. There are only suspicions that I am seeing someone" Ginny responded

"Well, this will be a shock for them" laughed Lucius

"Most definatly" laughed Ginny

"My dear, how far along are you in your pregnancy?" asked Narcissa

"My calculations say four months" Ginny responded

"Merlin. We don't have much time" Narcissa exclaimed

"For what?" asked Ginny confused looking at Draco and Lucius for help. Instead she heard them groan and sneer

"Well we have to fix up the nursery here and the nursery at whatever family house you choose. We also have to plan the baby shower. We have to get you set up with a mid witch who will be delivering the baby. You both have to think of names. Me and Louisa will take you shopping Ginny to get you furniture for the baby and what ever else you may need." Narcissa said ticking off the things on her fingers as she listed them and ignoring her husband and son "Of course we will include your mother in the shopping and planning. You should probably go there now and tell them so we can start right away. Come back whenever you like Ginny. You will always be welcome here"

After Ginny and Draco said their goodbyes, and with promises that they would return as soon as possible, Ginny apparated them away to the burrow, but not before Narcissa's last comment.

"Me. A grandmother. Oh, I am just so delighted. Aren't you Lucius? You were so good with Draco when he was a baby. I can't can't wait to have the sound of little feet in the manor again"

When they landed on the gravel road, Draco looked up at the house that Ginny grew up in and groaned. He could see Ron in the upstairs window. Before he could look for anywhere to hide, Ron turned and saw them walking up the road. When Draco looked back up at the window again, he groaned at the sight of the empty window.

"Ginny, Ron just saw us from his upstairs window" Draco said worried

"How do you know?" she asked, but before he could respond, Ron came storming out of the house, closely followed by Harry and Hermione

"Ginny. Why did you bring this ferret here?" he yelled causing the occupants of the house to come outside and see what was happening

"Yes Ginny. Why?" asked Arthur as he saw who Ron was referring to

Ginny was silent for a moment as she looked down at the ground, before a wave of confidence swept over her. She raised her head, stood up straight and squared her shoulders, preparing herself for the fight that was coming. What she didn't see was Draco smile at how dignified she looked and acted.

"He is my boyfriend Father" she said loud enough for everyone to hear her

"Excuse me?" her mother asked

"You all heard me. He is my boyfriend" she said glancing at all of them

"That can't be" he father said

"And why not?" asked Ginny sighing exasperated like she was talking to a child

"You are supposed to be with Harry" her mother said

Nobody saw what was coming. Before they knew it, Draco was trying with no avail to pull Ginny to him to calm her down. She had started yelling with such force that it made her entire family back up in fear.

"End up with Harry? You are all bloody fucking mad. Why would I want to be with him? He is nothing but a bloody ass hole. He wouldn't make me happy, he would make me miserable. We dated once and it was the worst. I had no freedom, he always had to be around me. You guys obviously care more about your respectability and his happiness more then my own happiness. I am with Draco and I have been for the past two years, and I have loved him every single moment of it. Now, he has given me the greatest gift ever. I am going to be a mother!" she screamed before she calmed down "Can you all except that?"

"No." responded Arthur and Molly at the same time as Ron

"Then you can't except me and I am no longer in the family" she said before turning around and walking back down the road "Come Draco, I wish to go back to your parents manor and help your mother and aunt with the designing of the nursery and other preparations she is planning for the birth. Oh she is right! There is just so much to do, and we don't have much time. But, you are the Malfoys, and the Malfoys, get whatever the Malfoys want."

Before Draco turned to run after her, he saw her whole family standing like statues with their mouths hanging open at her little rant. Smirking at them, he ran and met up with his fuming girlfriend. When he reached Ginny, he grabbed her and apparated them to the front entrance of the manor. Before he could pull her close to comfort her, she turned and made her way back to the family parlour. When she reached the door, she knocked once and waited for permission to enter. When it was granted, she entered and she walked straight to Narcissa and sat down on the vacated spot next to her.

"Narcissa, feel free to plan the baby shower however you want and invite whoever you want within reason" Ginny said

"But your mother-" Narcissa began

"Will have no right nor interest to help plan it as she, as well as the rest of my so called family, is not excepting Draco or the baby in the family. Therefore, the baby shower is all yours to plan Mrs. Malfoy. I don't want a single part of it. I wish to be surprised when I arrive to it. All I ask is that it isn't to over the top and that the guest list is close friends and family. I don't some strange person coming up to me to find out that they are a fourth cousin, twice removed. As well, I would like to help you plan and design the nurseries." Ginny said

"The meeting didn't go to well did it?" asked Lucius summoning a board game for the three men to play

"Of course not!" exclaimed Ginny sneering with such dislike that it made Lucius cringe "My precious brother Ronald ruined it all before it could even begin to calmly explain anything"

"He saw us walking down the road towards their house and had the whole family out on the lawn before Ginny and I even entered the yard" Draco said in response to the questioning look from his father

For the next four hours, the men played the board games while the women planned and designed the nurseries. When it was finally time for them to go home, the six of them were gathered in the entrance so that they could say goodbye to the expecting parents. The coats were on, and the hugs were given, when Lucius dropped the bomb.

"Do you two know when you two will be getting married?" he asked
