A/N: I think this chapter is a little too long. It also wasn't what I had been planning either. Not sure how it happened but it did. I hope you guys enjoy.
For two months Hermione and Ginny went along with their life hidden underground. It was different with Fred or George bringing them food everyday. No one seemed to notice because they said that no one had asked about it. They must have guessed that Fred and George were just eating it all.
The day finally came when she gave birth to her child. It was no surprise to the Weasley family to find it was a boy. His eyes were a pretty blue, like Ron's, and of course he was going to have the famous red hair. They all helped pick out the name for the boy and Hermione finally settled on Jason Arthur Weasley.
Fred and George stayed around longer to help Hermione and Ginny with the baby though it wasn't much trouble. They mostly helped clean up some and they also helped by getting the supplies they needed for the baby.
The twins had trouble with that though because they had to make sure no one saw the supplies. Some how they managed, no one ever saw the supplies or that is at least what Fred and George said.
Jason seemed to like everyone so far and rarely cried which was nice. It meant no one would hear and find them. Everyone would ask Hermione if she wanted them to watch him and she always said yes. She didn't mind a break though she knew she could take care of Jason.
When it got late Ginny would kick Fred and George out but they knew they couldn't stay, it was part of the deal. They had promised and they couldn't break it unless Hermione or Ginny said they could stay. That wasn't going to happen though.
Hermione sat in her room holding Jason in her arms while Ginny slept in the next room. She rocked baby Jason in her arms hoping he'd go to sleep soon though he wasn't crying, just trying to fight the sleep.
Since Jason was only a few weeks old she kept him in her room so she could get to him easily. Though Jason only woke when he was hungry which was often at first but it was getting better. When Ginny, Fred, and George were there during the day she would take a nap while they took care of him.
Jason finally fell asleep in Hermione's arms and she got up and put him in a small crib the twins had gotten for her to put Jason in every night. Hermione got into her bed and curled up some. She stared at the crib as Jason slept and she sighed quietly. Just looking at Jason every day reminded her of Ron.
Her thoughts went on about it until she heard a crash and she jumped out of the bed. It had sounded like someone had tripped over something in the living room. She got up and hurried to her door and peeked out to see a figure moving around.
Finally she watched the living room light turn on and she saw Fred about out of breath at the moment. Hermione ran over to him and helped him to the couch as Ginny ran out of the room. "It is alright Ginny, it is just Fred," Hermione said quietly and then looking over to see George walking in. "And George," she added then sitting in the chair near Fred as George sat on the couch. Ginny sat on the arm rest of Hermione's chair and looked at the two boys.
"What is wrong? The way Fred came crashing in here, it has to be something important," Ginny said calmly, not thinking very much on what it was that was wrong.
George stood up and pulled a crumbled up piece of parchment and handed it to Hermione. "We found this on the door step to the Burrow when we came back from the Order. We figured you should be the first two to see it."
Hermione looked at Ginny and then opened it up and started to read it, quickly tears fell from her eyes and she handed it to Ginny who joined in quickly. The two girls hugged each other and cried together from this note.
Fred and George knew this would upset the girls. From the note it said the two guys they loved where dead. Who could read that and not cry? Especially Hermione who now had a child who at the moment had no father.
The two girls sobbed together and Fred and George watched knowing there was nothing they could say or do to cheer them up. They got up and took the parchment with them quietly leaving to tell the others this news. All they could do was hope it was wrong or that the girls would find a way to move on.
Ginny was the first one to move away from Hermione and head to her room. "I'm sorry Hermione, I just want to be alone for a while," she whispered through her tears.
Hermione watched Ginny leave and she walked into her room crying. Jason was still fast asleep and she really hoped he would stay asleep for a while so she could cry. She laid on her bed crying from her loss and her son's loss though he wouldn't know. The worst part was she lost the one man she truly loved and her son would grow up never having or knowing his father.
She cried in her bed and slowly cried herself to sleep. The whole place stayed silent all night after the two girls cried themselves to sleep. Hermione got up to feed Jason a few times then he'd go back to sleep and she'd cry herself back to sleep.
When morning came Hermione was the first up with Jason. She fed him then went out into the living room rocking Jason. Ginny seemed fast asleep still or that is how it seemed. Hermione tried to fight back from the tears though it was hard but she had to take care of Jason.
Fred and George quietly made their way in with food for them then looking at Hermione. George took Jason out of Hermione's arms and then smiling at her some. "Go get some more sleep Hermione," George told her then looking down at Jason in his arms.
Hermione watched then looked at Fred who was moving her towards her room. She glanced at George one last time and then sighing a little. "Okay just please be careful with Jason," Hermione said quietly and then turning her back to them.
Fred followed quietly and stopped Hermione before she got to her bed room. "Can I talk to you alone for a minute or two?" he whispered knowing George was busy with Jason.
She didn't know what he meant but she figured it might be helpful, maybe. She nodded her head and went into her room and watched as Fred close it. The two sat down on the bed and looked at the ground. "What is it Fred?"
There was silence for a few minutes before Fred looked up at Hermione. "I think Ron and Harry might be alive still. I looked at the note all night long and I think it might be a fake. I may be wrong. It could be from them trying to keep us from worrying or it could be from the Death Eaters, I do not know. But I can't believe it. If they died there is no way we'd get a note during the war to tell us."
Hermione stared at Fred in shock and she almost wanted to smile a little bit. She wanted to believe it was the truth but she wasn't sure. "Ginny and I should go check it out," she told him, smiling. She kind of missed the action of casting spells and fighting.
"What if the Death Eaters find you two? Wasn't that the whole reason you came down here?" Fred asked, knowing this was true but he also couldn't let Hermione and Ginny go out there in the middle of a war where they were wanted.
She just laughed and stood up from the bed and looked at Fred. "You obviously don't think much of our skill. Ginny and I can do it. If we get caught we can save ourselves from whatever trouble we may get into."
Fred stood up and looked at Hermione shaking his head in disagreement. "This is a horrible idea Hermione. You need to stay down here and take care of Jason. That is what you need to do," he told her then walking out without saying anything else.
She sat on her bed and looked at the ground, wanting to cry again. Just thinking Ron might be alive made her happy but she wanted to go after him so badly. Though now that she thought of it, she didn't want to be the one to find him dead.
Quietly she got up and walked out to the living room and saw Ginny was up and holding Jason now. Without a word she took Jason from Ginny then walked up the tunnel to get out. She heard the rush of footsteps coming after her from behind. She made her way out and then looked at Fred and George. "Get us inside the Burrow," she instructed as the three of them stared at her.
"Hermione have you gone mental? What are you thinking of doing?" Ginny snapped trying not to make Jason cry.
Hermione looked at Jason in her arms who had his fist in his mouth then up at the three of them. "Ginny I trust your family with this secret. I won't tell them were we are hiding, just let them meet Jason. Please trust me Ginny," she told them quietly but mainly to Ginny.
Ginny looked at Hermione and nodded before going back through the trap door in the floor and closing it. Fred and George looked at Hermione and led her through the yard, hiding her just in case. They opened the door to the Burrow for her and once they all got in they quickly closed the door.
"Mum and dad are upstairs. Charlie is here for a bit but I think he ran off for a bit to the Order and I think Bill went with him," George told Hermione quietly as they led her up the steps then stopping in front of a door, one she'd been in but she knew why. It was Molly and Arthur's room.
From inside Hermione could here Mrs. Weasley sobbing from the news about Ron but obviously she was the only one to know besides Fred it might not be true. The boy knocked on the door and Hermione made sure to stay behind them.
Arthur was the one to open the door and see Fred and George there. "Hey boys. Your mum is still upset."
"I'm still upset as well Mrs. Weasley," Hermione said from behind the boys who turned and looked at her annoyed. She just walked past them and over to Mrs. Weasley crying on the bed who was watching her.
Arthur watched Hermione walk in then looked at Fred and George. "Which one of you did it?" he asked, talking about the child Hermione was carrying and the twins knew it without a problem.
"Ronald," Fred and George said together.
Hermione glared at Fred and George from across the room. "They are right Mr. Weasley; Ron is the father of this child. His name is Jason Arthur Weasley," she told them quietly and then looking at Mrs. Weasley. "He is only about 2 weeks old. Would you like to hold your grandson Mrs. Weasley?"
Molly nodded as she took Jason from Hermione's arm; her tears become a mixture of happiness and sadness. "I am sorry Hermione dear. This must be just as hard for you," she whispered to Hermione as she watched the child in her arms.
"Yes it is really hard. I don't know what will happen after the war is over. I will have to take care of Jason alone then," Hermione said quietly then looking at Molly and Arthur. "You guys won't mind helping now and then, will you? I could use the help."
Arthur smiled as he sat down next to his wife and looked at Jason. "Of course we won't mind Hermione. You are part of the family and Jason is our grandson," he told her as he watched the baby. "He has Ron's blue eyes."
Hermione knew she technically wasn't part of the Weasley family but they always treated her like family so she didn't try to debate. "Yes, he does. They are beautiful. Jason is going to look so much like Ron."
Molly smiled and put Jason into Arthur's arms then put an arm around Hermione. "It will be alright Hermione dear. We will get through this all together," she said then looking at Fred and George who were looking down the steps. "Oh Charlie and Bill must be home." She got up and hurried to the door then stopped.
Arthur took notice to his family standing there staring down the steps and he handed Jason back to Hermione. "Hide away somewhere safe until you can get to your hiding spot," he told her then leaning down and kissing Jason's forehead. "He is beautiful and I wish Ron could have seen him. Now hurry and hide."
Hermione smiled at Arthur then looked at Jason in her arms but where was she going to hide. She followed them out the door and grabbed Fred's arm. "Help me get out of here safely," she whispered.
"Mum! Dad! Fred! George!"
They all sighed and looked down the steps as two men appeared at the bottom of the steps. Charlie and Remus. Hermione hadn't seen Remus in a long time but he seemed to be doing well and Charlie was one she didn't know all that well. She knew it was Charlie because he looked like a Weasley but nothing like Bill.
"Charlie, Remus, where is Bill?" Molly asked as she walked down the steps everyone following. George and Fred beside her as best they could, acting like her protectors though they kind of were at the moment.
Remus watched the group walk down the steps and shook his head. "He is still at the Order. Everyone is freaking out wondering who will go out and fight now."
Hermione looked at Fred and gave him a look then looked at Remus. She was about to talk but she could feel Fred glaring at her telling her to stay quiet. The twins weren't going to let her go anywhere even if she protested. Which of course she tried but that obviously wasn't going to work. It wasn't something she would give up on though if things got any worse.
"Ah, I can see that is a very important thing to worry about." Molly said to them then looking back at Hermione. "Darling, you should get back to your hiding spot."
Hermione looked at Molly then nodded her head before walking through the group, Fred and George following her. She stopped in front of Charlie and looked up at him. "Next time I come around I will let you and Bill meet your nephew," she said quietly then walking past him with Fred and George following.
Charlie turned and grabbed Hermione's shoulder and turned her. "My nephew? Who's the father of this boy?"
Hermione looked at Jason then at Charlie who was watching her closely. "Ron," she whispered then walking out of the Burrow leaving everyone watch her before Fred and George followed her.
"Fred, George, I am going out to fight." It wasn't something she was debating. She was informing them and there was nothing they could tell her to make her change her mind. This was what she was going to do. Yeah there would be the risk of losing her life and not seeing her son but it was something she had to do.
