Aria POV
"You're not going back to Hogwarts!" James exclaims. "But, Aria, it'll be your seventh year. The best year."
"James we're having a baby. You don't think I'll just be able to leave him or her and go back to school, do you?" I reply.
"Well... I could look after them." James stumbles over his words.
"You don't understand James, I can't go back. I'll be a mother!" I shout. "It isn't just having a baby and that's it James, it's a huge responsibility. I can't just skip back off to Hogwarts and carry on like before."
"But..." James replies. "You've always wanted to be a healer, how can you do that without your newts?"
"James I'm also going to be a mother. As much as I want to become a healer I love our baby so much and I don't think I could leave him or her." I reply, my eyes stinging slightly with unshed tears.
I don't even know why I'm crying. I'm such an emotional wreck, I don't see how anyone can stand to be around me.
"I can't make you go back but will you at least talk to Professor Mcgonagol about your options before you make a decision." James sigh in defeat.
"I will." I agree, slumping down on the sofa again. "James, what if I can get a private tutor or something so that I can still look after our baby and get my newts."
"That would be perfect." James beams. "I need to talk to my mum, see ya later." He says, blowing me a kiss and leaving the room.
My eyes are just drifting shut when Dom and Rose burst into the room babbling on about some new hairstyle that Dom wants to try out.
"Aria!" Dom squeals in excitement. "We need to talk to you."
"Shoot." I say, gesturing for the blonde girl to sit on the sofa.
Rose flops down on the floor in front of us and I stare at them both impatiently.
"What?" I ask them both after a couple of minutes in silence.
"Well... what's going on between you and James?" Dom asks.
"I'm not really sure to be honest." I shrug. "He did say at the hospital though that he was... in love with me." I say hesitantly.
"Oh my God." Rose gasps, "He finally grew some balls and told you!"
"I can't wait to rub this in Louis' face! He said it wouldn't be until James left Hogwarts." Dom shouts.
"Wait, what?!" I say incredulously. "You all knew?"
"Well duh, it's so blindingly obvious. Well to everyone apart from you it seems." Rose laughs.
"Well, I don't want him to feel like he needs to be with me just because we're having a baby." I say, even though I know in my heart that I couldn't do this without him.
James is my best friend. He's my rock.
Rose, Dom and I talk about boys, school and life in general for the next couple of hours until I'm struggling to keep my eyes open.
"I think she's asleep." I hear Rose giggle as her and Dom leave the room.
"Aria, dear, are you hungry?" Nana Weasley is standing next to the sofa it was fast asleep on.
"Eugh." I reply, standing up and stretching my arms above me.
The holy head harpies t shirt I have on is quite small so you can see my slight bump.
I look up to see Nana Weasley staring at me in adoration.
"What?" I ask, blushing slightly.
"I'm so glad that you befriended all my grandchildren six year ago. You've been like an extra granddaughter to me and I want you to know that you'll always be welcome here. When the baby comes you can always stay at the burrow for a while so I can help out or just come and visit whenever. I'm so happy that you're the one bringing my first great grandchild into the world." Nana Weasley smiles fondly, whilst pulling me into a motherly hug.
"Thank you Nana Weasley." I smile, tears forming in my eyes.
"Look at us, we're like a couple of emotional 4th years." Nana Weasley laughs lightly. "Now c'mon we need to fatten you and that baby up!"
I follow Nana Weasley into the kitchen and sit at the large table whilst she prepares me beans on toast.
I did offer to help but she batted my hands away saying that she wants to do this for me.
I laugh slightly about how excited she is and to be honest this couldn't be a better family to bring up my child in.
Sure Percy's family were quite judgemental and it make take some of them a while to get round the idea that I'm having James' baby. But I know that in the end all of them will be there for us and support us.
I think this is one of the happiest moments of my pregnancy so far. Well since I found out anyway.
Just as I started eating my beans on toast, Al waltzes into the kitchen.
"Oh, hi Aria." He smirks cheekily, flopping into the chair opposite me.
"Hi Al." I reply, my mouth full of beans.
"Don't talk with your mouthful." Al scolds playfully, ticking his finger at me. "So, you and James?" He waggles his eyebrows suggestively.
"It's not like that." I reply, my cheeks heating up.
"Yeah suuuuurre." Al laughs.
"It isn't." I reply exasperatedly.
"Well you must've shagged for you to be pregnant." Al laughs.
My mouth drops open and my cheeks go bright red.
Al can't control his laughter and he ends up falling off his chair.
"Serves you right." I grumble, but even I can't keep the smile off of my face.
Al and I have been close since I started Hogwarts. We're in most classes together and he knows most of my secrets. I'm close with almost all of the Wesley/potter children, apart from Louis, Roxanne, Molly, Hugo and Lucy.
Hugo, Louis and Roxanne are in Gryffindor but they're a few years below us and have different friends so I don't see them that often.
Lucy was sorted into Hufflepuff and Molly into Ravenclaw so I don't see them much either.
After I've finished my beans on toast I head upstairs to bed.
At the burrow I share a room with Rose, Dom and Lily with Al, Fred, Hugo James next door on one side and Roxanne, Lucy and Molly on the other side.
"I'm going to sleep." I announce, walking into our bedroom.
Dom, Rose and Lily are huddled on Dom's bed talking about something. They stop as soon as they notice me.
"What?" I ask as they turn to stare at me.
"Well..." Lily starts.
"We were wondering-" Rose continues.
"Who's going to be the baby's godmother?" Dom finishes.
I laugh slightly, I haven't even had the baby yet and they're already thinking about this?
"I don't know, I guess James and I will have to decide." I smirk, knowing that it's annoying them.
"Well Lily's already his or hers auntie so surely it should be Rose or me." Dom says.
"That's not fair!" Lily replies.
"Guys!" I shout. "If it's alright with James I want all of you to be his or hers godmother."
"Really?!" They all say incredulously.
Suddenly I'm bombarded with hugs from all of them as they squeal excitedly.
"Have you and James thought of any names yet?" Rose asks, as I change into my pyjamas.
"No, we haven't talked about it. Now I'm going to sleep and it's christmas tomorrow." I reply, sliding into bed and quickly falling asleep.
A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't updated in ages. But here you go, I tried to make it a bit longer because of the long wait. Do you have any idea what that baby is going to be called? Or any name ideas?
Remember to review as it helps me improve and motivates me to update more frequently :)
