"Ginny, we have something to ask you," Percy starts, looking nervously down at his lap.

"Yes," Ginny says, sitting down across from her brother.

Percy looks at Neville, who clears his throat and starts to speak. "Well, Percy and I, we kinda, um, know that you're not comfortable here. So, we have a proposal for you. Um . . ." Neville breaks off and looks at Percy.

"Um, we want to offer you a room at our place. We just built on a kitchen and a guest room. The guest room can be yours, if you want. We think you'll be more comfortable there. We'll take better care of you, no offense to mom and dad of course."

Ginny starts to laugh at the uncomfort that clearly shows on the faces of the two men across from her. "I might just take you up on that offer," Ginny tells them. She laughs again at the grins that cover their faces at her response.

"Great. When do you move in?" Neville asks excitedly.

"Whenever. The sooner the better," Ginny tells him, returning his grin.

****************************************************************

Ginny hugs her mother awkwardly. She knows that her mother means well, and that she really does love her, but she just doesn't show it. She hasn't exactly not been supportive of Severus, but she hasn't been supportive either.

"Make sure you come by often, Ginny. If anything happens, your father and I will always have a room open for you," Molly tells her, fighting to keep the tears from her eyes. She does love Ginny, and support her. Too many things happened at once. Suddenly, Ginny was in love with Severus, they were married, and he died. On top of all that, Ginny's pregnant before she graduated. It's all just too confusing for Molly to deal with at once.

Ginny places her hands on her swollen stomach. She's only seven months along, but her stomach is already larger than she can handle. She hasn't been able to see her feet for weeks!

"Thank you, mom. I'll come by, don't worry," Ginny tells her mother. She kisses her and then rushes off after Percy and Neville.

"It's not much, sorry," Percy says when they reach their house. He puts Ginny's small bag down and rushes down, trying to tighty up. Ginny laughs at him.

"What?" Percy asks, confused.

"This place is spotless, and you're rushing around, trying to clean it. There's nothing to clean," Ginny tells him. Neville joins in her laughter.

Percy glares at them, then throws his hands in the air. "I give up. It's going to be impossible to live with the two of you!"

*******************************************************************

Ginny sits up straight in bed, her eyes wide. She sighs and turns on the light. She throws her feet over the bed and slips them into her slippers. She gets up and makes her way out into the kitchen. She sits down on the coach after making a cup of hot chocolate. She places her hands on her enlarged stomach.

She's gotten used to her new home. It didn't take long. Except for Percy's cleanliness and tidiness, the house is quite comfortable.

Ginny shifts as the twins within her kick again. She tries to soothe them, but these midnight wanderings always make them playful. She rubs her stomach and sighs deeply.

"You okay, Gin?" Percy asks, coming into the room. He pours himself a cup of the hot chocolate that Ginny made. He joins her on the coach.

Ginny gives him a half smile. "I'm fine. The twins are just active again."

"Only a couple more weeks," Percy tells her comfortingly.

"I know. I wish that everyone could just forget about the old Severus, our "illegal" relationship. The twins shouldn't have to deal with all that," Ginny says, saying her major fear for the first time.

"Neville and I are with you. And you know that Ron and Harry are, although they don't show it. They're just a little confused," Percy tells her.

"But mom . . ." Ginny leaves it hanging.

Percy reaches over and takes her hand. "Gin, you know that mom really does support you, she just doesn't know how to show it. It's the same way with Neville and my relationship."

Ginny lets out a little smile. "Thank you, Percy, for everything you've done. You and Neville have been so helpful. I can't tell you how much it has meant to me to have your love."

Percy leans over and gives her a hug, which is difficult to do with Ginny's huge stomach. Ginny smiles, and Percy joins her.
