Rose sat on an examination table while the healer finished performing a series of spells on her. With the last flick of her wand the healer wrote some notes down and turned the young couple.

"I am pleased to tell you that you and the baby are both doing very well. You are both very healthy. Now, there is one more test I can perform if you would like. I know it may seem early in the pregnancy, but a new spell has been discovered. This spell will reveal the sex of the child at such an early stage. Are you interested?" She asked them

Rose looked at Scorpius who nodded before she said, "We would love to know."

The healer preformed a complicated wrist flick before a series of pink spark shot from her wand.

"Congratulations, you are having a girl. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me." She told them before exiting the room.

"A girl….."Scorpius said as he turned to Rose with a huge smile on his face "I can't believe we are having a little girl."

"I know! This is so amazing. Now we will have to start picking out names." Rose said as she leaned up and kissed him, "Now let's go find my parents so we can go to lunch. I'm starving."

They walked to the waiting room where Rose's parents were. Hermione had and anxious look on her face while Ron just looked grumpy. Rose bounced happily towards them.

"I'm having a girl!" She squealed

"Oh Rosie, that is wonderful." Hermione told her daughter

Ron's face softened the slightest bit

"And you are happy about this?" he asked

Rose turned to her father, "Daddy, I know you hate the fact that I am barely seventeen and I am pregnant, but we can't change what is already done. I was upset at first, but now I have grown to love this little girl and I would not change anything." She told him

"Ok princess. If you are happy then I will try to be happy for you, but I refuse to be happy for him." Ron said gesturing towards Scorpius.

"Can we go and get something to eat now? I'm really hungry." Rose asked as she rolled her eyes at her father.

"Sure honey," Hermione told her daughter, "We passed a muggle place that looked really good how about we stop there?"

The four of them made their way to the muggle restaurant. Ron was starting to come to terms with the fact that his daughter was pregnant, but he still refused to even look at Scorpius. This added a tension to the meal, but the girls chose to ignore it. They talked about what they would need to buy for the baby even though they still had several months to worry about that.

"Rose," Ron said for the first time since they left the hospital, "What are your plans for once the baby is born? Where do you plan on living?"

"Well I guess I had not really thought about that before." She admitted

"I think you should live at home for a little while." He told her "Neither one of you will have ever worked and babies cost a lot of time and money. I just think that it would be best if you stayed at home after the baby was born. Trust me, you will be glad for the help."

"Does this mean that Scorpius can move in too? I want him to be there to help raise the baby." Rose asked

"If he must." Ron told her after receiving a look from Hermione

"Thank you Daddy." Rose said as she went around the table to give him a big hug

"I don't want you to think that just because I do not like the situation I do not want what is best for you. I love you baby girl, no matter what happens." Ron whispered into his daughter's hair.

They finished up eating and began walking to a place where they could apparate home. They were walking passed some shops when Rose suddenly stopped in front of one called Little Angels Baby Boutique.

"Oh, can we have a look around here?" she asked

When her mother nodded her head she grabbed Scorpius' hand and pulled him into the shop. They began looking around at the clothes and accessories they would need for the baby. They came across a section of books and Rose decided to pick up a few. She had grabbed one on pregnancy and one on caring for babies after they are born when Scorpius added one to her pile. She looked at the cover and smiled. It was a book of names for girls. They made their way to the counter and paid for their books.

Once they got home Rose wasted no time before opening the book of baby names. She sprawled out on the floor and began to search for the perfect name. Scorpius watched as his girlfriend flipped through the book occasionally asking for his opinion on a name before deciding it was not right. Suddenly she closed her eyes and said "not again" as she put her hand to her stomach.

Ron, who had been reading the newspaper in his reclining chair, looked at his daughter in concern but Scorpius just sat down next to her.

"Do you feel sick again?" he asked

Rose nodded her head yes.

"The doctor said it can help to eat some crackers. Would you like me to get you some."

She nodded again. Scorpius lifted her up gently and placed her on the couch before going into the kitchen to get her some crackers.

He came back with a plate of crackers. He sat down next to her as she began to nibble on the crackers. Ron watched as his daughter placed her head on his shoulder and he began to tenderly stroke her hair. After a while she spoke up.

"That helped a little. My stomach still feels uneasy, but I don't feel like I am going to throw up." Rose admitted "Can we look through the baby book some more?"

She once again began looking for the perfect name. Scorpius smiled lovingly at her has she turned the pages. Just then Hermione walked in.

"It's getting pretty chilly out. I was thinking about starting a fire." She said

"That sounds nice." Ron told her with a smile

"Ok, I will just go get some fire wood from the shed." She said

"I can get it Mrs. Weasley." Scorpius told her

"Thank you Scorpius. That would be wonderful." She replied.

Scorpius walked out to the shed and began gathering firewood. He could see it in Ron's eyes just how much he loved his family. Scorpius only hoped that his family would be just as happy one day. With an armload of fire wood he made his way back to the house. He noticed that Rose had fallen asleep and that the name book had fallen to the floor. With a flick of his wand the fire was started. He grabbed the blanket that was sitting on the back of the couch and placed it over Rose's small body. He placed his hand over her stomach. It still amazed him that his daughter was growing in there. He kissed her forehead and picked up the name book. He glanced at the page it had fallen to. The name at the top of the page caught his attention.

"Kyra" He said aloud

"What was that?" Hermione asked

"Oh, I was just looking at these names." Scorpius said, "I thought the name Kyra sounded nice."

"It's very pretty. Now I think I am going to go make some dinner." Hermione said before going into the kitchen.

"I think the name Kyra would be perfect. Let's see what your mommy says when she wakes up." He said into Rose's stomach

"You really do love them don't you?" Ron asked

Scorpius turned around "Yeah. I love Rose and the baby more than anything in the world." He told Ron.

"Does she know?" Ron questioned.

"She knows I love the baby, but I have never told her that I love her."

Ron looked curious, "If you love her so much why don't you tell her. She is carrying your child after all."

"I know, but I guess I am just scared of getting my heart broken. I have liked her for a really long time, but it is only recently that she began to like me back. I guess I am afraid of scaring her away." Scorpius sighed.

"I still do not like you, but I whether I like it or not you are my granddaughter's father so I am going to let you in on a little secret. Rose does not get scared away easily. I can tell she loves you too. Maybe she has not even admitted it to herself but she does. The only reason I don't hate you is because I can see how good you are for her." Ron said

Scorpius looked shocked at Ron. Albus was right the Weasleys were pretty cool. He was about to reply when they heard a knock on the door.

"I've got it" They heard Hermione call before they heard the door open and Hermione say, "What the hell do you think you are doing here?"

Scorpius' face paled as he heard his father's voice say, "I'm here for my son."

Draco Malfoy walked in the room and looked at Scorpius.

"Is it true?" He asked, "Please tell me that you did not knock up the Weasley brat."

"You need to leave now" Scorpius told him as Rose began to stir.

"So it is true." The older Malfoy sneered, "I ran into an old friend who was working at the Hospital this morning. She told me that she saw you leaving the Maternity wing with that little whore. I did not want to believe it, but I can see it on your face that it is true."

"Don't call her that" Scorpius yelled

"You need to leave." Ron told Draco

"I will leave only when my son comes with me." He said to everyone in the room

"He is seventeen and you have no control over him." Ron told his old rival. "Get out of my house now."

"Gladly." Draco said as he grabbed Scorpius and apparated.

"Scorpius!" Rose screamed as tears rolled down her face

"Hermione, get Harry." Ron said as he pulled his sobbing daughter into his arms.

A few minutes later Harry and Ginny apparated into the Weasley house.

"What happened?" Harry asked

Ron began telling what happened from hearing the knock on the door to Draco taking Scorpius against his will.

"I thought you would know best what to do considering Scorpius spends a lot of time with your family." Ron finished

"Yeah, come on Ron. Let's go get him before Draco does anything stupid."

"Please bring him back." Rose said

"Don't worry Princess. I will make sure he is back here for dinner." Ron told his daughter before kissing her on the head and Leaving with Harry.

They hurried to Malfoy Manor, but there was no one there. Just as they were about to leave they heard a crash from outside. They rushed outside to see what the noise was and saw that a car had collided with a tree in the Malfoy's front yard. When they got closer they noticed that Draco had been behind the wheel and Scorpius was in the passenger seat. Both were unconscious. Harry quickly pulled Scorpius out of the car as Draco began to wake up.

"Get your hands off my son. I don't want him associating with the likes of you people." Draco said as he raised his wand towards Harry and Ron.

Harry quickly disarmed Draco before putting him in a body bind and saying "You are under arrest for holding a wizard against their will, and threatening an Aurror."

"You can't arrest me." Draco spat

"Well as head of the Auror department I'm pretty sure I can." Harry told him before turning to Ron and saying "Are you ok from here?"

"Yeah, I can take Scorpius back to the house. Why don't you swing by after you are done throwing the ferret in jail where he belongs." Ron told his best friend

"Yeah, tell Ginny just to wait for me at your place." Harry replied before disappearing with Draco.

"How can I do it?" Scorpius asked after his father had left. He had regained consciousness when his father was threatening Harry.

"Do what?" Ron said as he turned to face the wounded boy. He saw that Scorpius was bleeding from several places and was obviously in a lot of pain.

"How can I be a good father to my little girl when that is the father I knew?" Scorpius said as his eyes filled with tears. It was a rare occurrence for Scorpius to cry.

"You have spent a lot of time with Harry haven't you?" Ron asked him

"Yes." Scorpius said

"Then you will agree with me that he is a great father to his children." Ron told Scorpius, "He had no parents when he was growing up only an abusive uncle. The closest thing he had to a family was mine, which is quite like the relationship you have to his family. He did not become a good father because of how he was raised. He became a good father because he was a caring person who loved his children. You love your daughter and I know that you will make a great father."

"How can you tell?" Scorpius asked

"Because you stood up to your father and risked your life to make sure that she was safe and happy." Ron said before looking him in the eye and saying "I could not have asked for anyone better to raise my granddaughter."

Ron had gained more respect for Scorpius than he ever thought he could have trough this experience. There was still some hostility towards him, but Ron felt that eventually he could grow to like this boy. He helped him up and apparated them back to his house. When they arrived back Scorpius collapsed.

Ron helped him to the couch as Rose rushed to his side.

Scorpius opened his eyes as he felt Rose's soft hand on his forehead.

"I love you Rose." He told her before falling unconscious

Hermione quickly forced a few potions down his throat. His cuts stopped bleeding. She performed a spell on his body that made him glow a blue color for a few moments. Rose froze at the words that had come out of his mouth. She knew he liked her, but love was on a whole different level. She did not think that she was in love with him yet. She needed more time to figure out her feelings. Whenever he was around it made her feel safe and happy, but was that love? Rose had no idea what she felt for Scorpius and it scared her.

"He is going to be fine." Hermione told her daughter, "He just needs to rest for the entire weekend."

"What happened, Daddy?" Rose asked

Ron told them what had happened. Rose looked horrified when she learned that Scorpius could have been killed in the collision, but everyone was pretty confused as to why they had been in a car in the first place

"The poor boy." Ginny said "I knew his life at home was not ideal, but I did not know Draco would do something like that."

"Yeah well, He is not going to hurt anyone else." Harry said as he apparated back into the living room, "He is now being held in the dangerous person section of the mental ward at St Mugos. Apparently several former death eaters are now starting to go crazy. There is a theory going around that the dark magic from their dark marks has been slowly starting to drive them crazy. He confessed to stealing that car after he apparated out of here and driving back to his house even though he has never driven a muggle car before."

"Uncle Harry, he can't get to us anymore right?" Rose asked

"No Rosie. You and Scorpius and your baby are safe." He told her "He can never touch any of you."

"Thank you" she said as she hugged her favorite uncle

"Let's have some dinner while Scorpius rests" Hermione said, "Harry and Ginny, we would love it if you stayed."

"That sounds great. And Rose can tell us all about how her healer appointment went today." Ginny said with a smile.

Rose was just telling her aunt and uncle that she was having a girl when Scorpius stumbled into the kitchen. She jumped up to help him into a chair.

"I'm so glad you are awake." She said as she kissed him not caring that her family was watching, "How are you feeling"

"Like I got trampled by a heard of hippogriffs" he said before adding, "And hungry."

Hermione grabbed him a plate while Harry filled him in on what had happened to his father.

After dinner the adults went to talk in the office while Rose made Scorpius lie down on the couch and rest. He insisted that he would only lie down if she did too. He wrapped his arms around her as she leaned back against him.

"This is weird with you taking care of me. I'm usually the one taking care of you." Scorpius joked.

Rose just stared into the fire as she said "I was so scared when he took you. I could see it in his eyes that he was dangerous."

"Don't worry he can't hurt anyone anymore." Scorpius told her, "I hate to see you worry."

"I can't help it though. I worry about everything. I love this baby more than anything in the world, but I worry because I don't know if I am ready to be a mother. I worry that something will happen to the baby. And I worry that I will hurt you."

"How could you hurt me?"

"You love me, but I don't know how I feel. I really like you but I don't think it is love. I may love you one day but I'm not there yet. Mostly I worry that will not be enough for you."

"Rose, when I told you that I was a little out of it. I meant it, but I was not planning on telling you because I did not know how you would respond. I did not tell you I loved you because I expected you to be in love with me too. I told you because I wanted you to know how I felt."

"So you don't care that I am a little confused about my feelings?"

"Not at all. It would have been great if you were in love with me too, but I did not expect you to be in love with me. Don't worry, I don't want you to tell me you love me until you know you are in love. If you fall in love with me that is." Scorpius told her as he pretended to be interested in the stitching on the pillow he was leaning on

"Thanks" Rose sighed

"For what?"

"Understanding"

Scorpius leaned down and kissed her softly. When they broke apart he remembered something.

"I almost forgot I wanted to talk to you about something"

"Oh, what?" She asked

"Well while you were napping earlier I found a name in the book. It's ok if you do not like it, but I was wondering what you thought about the name Kyra. I was thinking we could name her Kyra Rose."

Rose looked thoughtful, "Kyra Rose Malfoy." She said before smiling "It's perfect. I just know it fits her. This is real isn't it? We are really having a baby."

"Yeah, we are." Scorpius replied

When Harry and Ginny were about to leave the adults went into the living room so they could say goodbye. They found the young couple asleep on the couch. Hermione simply covered them with a blanket before letting them get their rest.
