i A/N: I just wanted to let all of my readers know that I changed a little part in the first chapter! Towards the end it says that it is one month later when Hermione tells them that Ginny is coming home. I mis-typed this as it conflicts with this chapter, so just to inform you all - b It is Two Months Later NOT One! /b Hope you enjoy this chapter! /i

"I don't want to tell her without you. And not yet, either. When you get back this afternoon, maybe?" Harry was pacing back and forth in Ron's room. Ron was sitting on the bed watching him. It was ten in the morning and Ginny had arrived thirty minutes previous and was downstairs in the kitchen with Hermione and Mrs. Weasley. They had greeted her quickly before Ron went to get ready.

Ron stared at his lover before standing up and grabbing his coat. "Alright, we will," he took a deep breath, "tell her when I get back. But we can't wait long. I've already told you, Harry, I can't keep it a secret. I'm sorry."

Harry walked over to help Ron put his jacket on. It was only the start of September but the winds were chilling the weather already. He gave Ron a small kiss. "We won't have to hide it."

Harry stayed in the room for a few minutes after Ron had left. He was glad Ron had agreed to wait until they could both tell Ginny. It would be weird enough as it was let alone him telling her by himself. He took a deep breath and walked down to the kitchen.

"Oh, he's just off to a job interview-" Mrs. Weasley heard someone enter the kitchen and looked over from her laundry. "Oh, hello, Harry. Ron's just left."

Harry nodded and took a seat at the table next to Ginny and across from Hermione. Mrs. Weasley was standing while she folded the clothes at the head of the table.

"Yeah, he came in to say good-bye." Harry grabbed a water bottle from the center of the table where there was a package of them. He took a long sip and then screwed the lid back on and set the bottle on the table in front of him.

"Ginny was just telling us about Charlie and the dragons. Go on, Ginny, dear," Mrs. Weasley said, trying to rid the kitchen of the obvious awkward tension. Ginny nodded and began telling various stories of the past months with her brother.

"I've got to run to Gringotts for some money, I'll be back in fifteen minutes," Harry told Mrs. Weasley as he headed to grab a jacket. "I've spent the last of mine on that damn Quibbler yesterday morning that Ron HAD to subscribe to," he chuckled, knowing it really didn't bother him.

Mrs. Weasley nodded. "Alright, dear, be safe."

Ginny walked up to Harry and grabbed his arm. "Can I come?" she whispered. "I need to get out of the house."

Harry shrugged. "Ginny's coming, too!" he shouted to Mrs. Weasley and he heard her reply with a simple, 'Alright,' so he nodded at Ginny.

They Apparated out front of Gringotts and walked into the building together. Harry glanced nervously at Ginny before scratching the back of his neck.

"Why the sudden urge to leave? You just got back."

Ginny bit her lip and looked at Harry before sighing. "You know I love my family, Harry, but as if you haven't heard me say a million times that sometimes I just need to get away from them all. I missed them, but coming home and seeing everyone at once and sitting down for hours explaining everything that happened with my mother and soon to be sister-in-law; well, that's just a little overwhelming."

"Not to mention your ex-boyfriend being here, too," Harry added.

"Well, I can't say I'm not surprised because I am. Why are you staying there?"

"I…err…I sold the apartment and while I'm looking for a place, I have no where else to stay but here. And, by the way, they never dated."

"Who?" Ginny asked, startled.

"Hermione and Ron. They never dated and they still aren't dating. So, she isn't your soon to be sister-in-law," Harry said, trying to calm himself inside. "She's been with someone else for almost a year."

"Oh-I didn't know. I thought-"

"No- you assumed. You didn't pay attention."

An awkward silence filled the rest of their time together until they were walking out of Gringotts.

"Why did you come home early?" Harry asked.

"Because I missed-"

"No – really, Ginny. Why did you come home early?"

"I - I needed to…err…There is just something I have to do." Ginny said softly. Before he could ask her anything else, she'd Apparated home.

"'Mione? Can I speak to you for a moment? Alone?" Ron asked as he walked into the kitchen to find his mother and friend cooking. Hermione nodded and followed Ron up to his room.

"Is Harry here?" he asked when he'd closed the door behind them.

Hermione shook her head. "He left about five minutes ago. He and Ginny went to Gringotts to get money."

Ron nodded. "I lied."

"What?" Hermione asked.

Ron pointed to the bed and she took the hint, sitting down on the edge of the bed and waiting until he began his explanation. He started pacing, much like Harry had this morning.

"I lied. I didn't go to a job interview. Yesterday morning, when I told Harry to go pay for the Quibbler, I scheduled an appointment with St. Mungo's. I've been having morning sickness and I've gained ten pounds in the last two weeks. I didn't know what was going on and I didn't want to worry Harry! I know he noticed my weight but he is too much of a gentleman, you know. Well, I went and they looked over me. They took some tests, too. I just…I don't what happened." He stopped pacing and looked up at Hermione with tears in his eyes.

Hermione jumped up and ran to capture her friend in a hug. "What's going on, Ron?"

He took a deep breath. "I'm having a baby in five months time."

Hermione gasped. She closed her eyes tight and pressed her lips together. When she opened her eyes, she grabbed Ron by the shoulders softly and then went back to sit on the edge of the bed. She sighed.

"I knew you were going to say that."

There was a small silence before she continued, softly. "You told me last week that you used protection. He said that he knew he had to because last year Ginny told him about delivering the baby to those men her second day as a delivery Healer. You both assured me you were being safe! Merlin, Ron, you've only been together for two months! YOU SAID YOU WERE SAFE!"

"WE WERE; most of the time. There were a few times that we ran out or…"

"Got lazy! I just…Oh, Ronald, come here!" Hermione stood up and took Ron into her arms again. She wiped the tears from his eyes and stood on her toes to kiss his forehead. "We'll get through this. But you have to tell Harry right away! That is as soon as he gets home, alright!" Ron nodded.

They both heard a 'pop' from downstairs followed by another and Hermione walked towards the door. "Stay here and sit down. Stress isn't good for the baby. I'll go get Harry." Hermione said before leaving the room and closing the door softly behind her.

Harry walked into the door and slammed it behind him. He was pissed at Ginny. She just decides to come back and interrupt this time with Ron and try to screw everything up by getting to him. If only she could know that she couldn't get to him because he couldn't be taken away from Ron-especially by a woman. He was huffing and pacing and shaking his head.

"The nerve! She just - she just-UGGG! What do we do? We can't tell her! It'll break her heart and she will hate me forever and she will try to get between us!" Harry was shouting. He looked at Ron and locked eyes with him.

"I don't know what to do," he whispered. Ron shook his head and rolled his eyes. He stood up.

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO? Try this on for size, Harry! You are afraid of telling my sister we are together, well try telling her this one. Just try to ATTEMPT to explain this one: I AM PREGNANT HARRY!" Ron had lost his nerve and yelled as loud as he could.

Little did he know that Hermione had put a silencing charm around the room before she'd gone down to get Harry. He stood there, gasping for breath and red in the face out of anger. He saw the confusion on Harry's face and looked away.

He had heard Harry's response in his head over and over. This was the point when he left him. This was when Harry would look him over, decide his disgust and leave him. Harry wasn't supposed to react the way he did.

He was suddenly shoved into the door with Harry's lips crushing his own. Their bodies ground together for a small minute before Harry pulled apart to catch air. They stared at each other for a moment.

"Really?" Harry whispered, still breathing heavy from the kiss. Ron nodded. Harry grinned a large smile the size of Texas and buried his face into Ron's neck and kissed it softly.

"Promise?" Harry whispered, his face now settled on Ron's shoulder and his arms wrapped protectively around his neck. Ron slipped his arms around Harry's waist, pulled him tight, and rested his cheek on Harry's head.

"Yeah, Harry."

"When…I mean which time?"

Ron chuckled. "July 31st."

"My birthday." Harry smiled at the memory.

"Alright, now where's my real present?" Harry asked Ron as he sat on the bed and Ron put a silencing charm around his room. Harry thought he knew what the present would be, hence the silencing charm, but when Ron turned around with a black box in his hand, Harry's breath caught in his throat. The box was far too large to be a ring, but it was jewelry and Harry was sure of it.

Ron walked over to the bed and sat next to Harry. He took a deep breath and handed his lover the box. He watched as Harry bit his lip and he leaned down to kiss him softly. Harry shook his head.

"It's only been a month," he whispered.

Ron smiled. He nodded and urged the box further. Harry finally took it and closed his eyes tight, taking a deep breath before at last opening the box. He didn't bother wiping the tear from his face when he saw his present.

Ron took the silver necklace with three hoops lined up horizontally with each other out of the box and held it in his hand for Harry to see better.

"Ron, it's only been a month," Harry repeated.

Ron chuckled softly.

"Gotcha the first time, but I'm actually very aware of that. You see, we've only been together for a month, but – I realize how cliché this is – it has been the best month of my life. I'm keeper, Harry, and I wanted you to have this necklace to remember me. I've," Ron cleared his throat, "I've sort' a loved you for a while now. Didn't want to exactly admit it, even to myself at first, but eventually I learned to accept it. That necklace isn't a binding contract or anything, but more of a reminder that I'm your friend as much as the person who loves you. If you ever decide this isn't what you want, keep the necklace. It's all I ask of-"

Harry kissed him before he could finish. He laid Ron down on the bed and climbed on top of him. He continued the kiss as he took the necklace from Ron's hand and locked it around his own neck. When the kiss broke for air, Harry looked Ron in the eye.

"This is what I want. Forever and for always and if I ever leave you it will be for two minutes to go to the loo. You're it for me, Ronald Weasley," Harry told Ron.

He kissed him again and then removed his own shirt before removing Ron's. Ron quickly engaged in this hurry of stripping their clothes and rid of their pants without interrupting their kissing. When they were completely bare, Harry still straddling Ron, Harry moved down and started nipping and kissing Ron's neck. Ron moaned in pleasure and buried all ten fingers into Harry's hair. Harry spit into his hand and rubbed it onto his hard penis.

"Condoms?" Harry groaned. Ron shook his head.

"In my room," he told him.

Harry bit his lip but obeyed when Ron put his hands on Harry's hips and pulled him closer to his opening. He expertly threw Ron's left leg over his shoulder and guided himself into Ron's welcoming arse. They both groaned and Ron arched his back while Harry grabbed onto Ron's hips. Harry moved to ease the pain and create more satisfaction for them both. They were panting and whimpering each other's names. Ron looked up and grabbed the necklace hanging from Harry's sweaty neck. He let go and pushed his hands against Harry's chest.

Harry looked down at his lover's face that was now a look that Harry loved. Ron's eyes were closed and his face was screwed up and Harry only saw it when they were having sex which turned him on even further. The pleasure and Ron's look was enough for Harry and he spilled over, releasing into Ron at the same time that Ron came.

Harry collapsed onto Ron and lay on top of him with his face buried in his neck. Ron rearranged them and turned them on their sides, and let Harry spoon himself up against him from behind. Harry rested his chin on Ron's shoulder.

"How did you afford it?" Harry asked through his panting, reaching up with one hand and grabbing the necklace.

Ron yawned. "That is me to know and you to ignore. It doesn't matter, Harry. Just keep it no matter what?"

Harry tightened his grip around Ron's waist. "Hey – you're it for me."

"How many times did we end up-" Harry started to ask.

"Five, just that night, and twice the next morning. The condoms remained upstairs in my room." They were on the bed now with Harry sitting up against the headboard and Ron lying in his arms.

"You're really not lying, are you?" Harry asked.

"No. We are due in January."

There was a knock at the door followed by Hermione stepping into the room when Ron said his approval. She saw the sight of them and smiled. Harry had his arm draped lazily across Ron's chest and was playing with Ron's hair with his other hand. Ron was holding onto the arm around him, kissing Harry's forearm and leaning his head back into Harry's chest.

"I take it, it went well?" Hermione asked. The boys nodded and she closed the door and grabbed a chair to sit in.

"Wait a moment, Ron, did you just say you're due in January? That's only six months and-"

"Harry, male pregnancies are much different than female. There is time to explain it all later, but for now we will just leave it with the fact that they are a trimester shorter," Hermione explained. "And with male pregnancies, the carrier is usually more weak and tired. Supper is in a few hours and Ron's had quite a bit of shock and stress today, so he should be getting some rest. I'll go down and get a tray of tea and bring it up. The family should be informed more sooner than later but it is up to the two of you as to when exactly you tell them. I'll be back in flash."

"Harry?" Ron asked.

"Mmm?" Harry was dozing to sleep already, but there was concern in Ron's voice that couldn't go unnoticed.

"Are you really happy about this? I mean I figured you would be upset and leave-"

"Ron, we are going to have a baby together. You and me. What could make me happier? Besides, I couldn't leave you if I tried. Haven't you heard? You're it for me, Ronald Weasley, you're it."
