Ginny had not spoken to or of Draco since the party, she had been quietly informed that he was still paying her father, which made her scowl – they did not need his damned money.
In fact Ginny was doing pretty well, except the scowl that was firmly planted on her face. Her mother had not been able to cheer her up, or Hermione or Luna, she had been in a constant state of scowling since Draco left and Hermione and Molly were getting sick of it.
"You should be happy, you're having a baby," Hermione insisted as Ginny entered her thirty eight week point. Five weeks since the argument. Ginny was huge and often achy which had not helped, but Molly told her confidently that usually the baby is born after the due date that was today.
"I don't feel happy, that's that," Ginny snapped irritably, but resting her hand on the bump, and glancing down at it lovingly.
"Well, have you thought of names yet?" Hermione asked.
"I think Isla is quite nice," An all too familiar voice said from the living room, Ginny turned and glared at the man standing there.
"And why Isla?" Ginny snapped at Malfoy.
"Well I happen to be a fan of family names, though if you really want we can compromise and use Cedrella, she married your Great-great-great grandfather's cousin, Septimus Weasley."
"We are not calling her Isla or Cedrella; you don't get to say what we call her," Ginny snapped angrily at Draco, and realised she was being very immature but not quite caring.
Draco raised his eyes brows at the redheaded woman.
"And I was hoping I'd given you enough time to cool down, I know you have quite a temper…" Draco said shrugging slightly.
"Whatever." Ginny snarled.
"I hope you realise I haven't exactly done anything wrong, don't you?" Draco asked sounding slightly bemused as he leant against the wall beside Ginny, crossing his arms across his chest and smiling slightly at the redhead. Hermione watched in amusement as Ginny grumbled – a sign Malfoy was right.
"Why are you even here?" Ginny asked in a small voice.
"To make sure you had everything ready, that you were ready," Draco admitted, Ginny glared at him slightly before sighing and leading him upstairs. "Everything is ready for you at the manner, it's all like you requested."
Ginny nodded, carrying on until she reached her room and walked in, Draco was admittedly surprised when he saw her suitcase packed and sitting in the corner of the room, the crib and baby stuff was already at the manor so there was no need to worry about that, Draco looked at Ginny questioningly.
"I'm still moving in with you – and I've kept an extra two weeks worth of clothes so I'm prepared for anything the world throws at me." Ginny said in a small voice.
"But are you ready to give birth?" Draco asked her quietly.
"I think so… I dunno, it's really strange Draco, I really want her out of me, but I don't know what to do once she is," Ginny admitted.
"I think that part comes into action once the baby is born," Draco said quietly, Ginny nodded but they did not meet eyes. "So have you thought about names?"
"Yeah, but I'm not saying anything yet," Ginny said, smiling only slightly, teasing hi m with the information.
"That's not fair," Draco protested. "I'm the dad."
"Yeah and I had to carry her for nine months," Ginny shot back, sticking her tongue out at the blonde man before her, he was dressed immaculately in a white shirt and grey suit trousers, unlike Ginny in a pair of maternity jeans and a flowing white top.
"Guess you win that one then," Draco said, his voice softer, he looked up and caught Ginny's eye, he smiled at her, and she smiled back, and he wondered, only for a second, if she would castrate him for what he was about to do.
He kissed her.
"Draco!" Ginny yelped, pulling away, his lips had been attached to hers, which was pretty nice, but-
"Look Ginny, I like you quite a lot actually, and I think you could like me too, I mean I realise this isn't conventional in any way, first of our families hating each other – though not so much any more, and the fact we're having a baby, but I really li-"
"Draco!" Ginny yelped again, her eyes wide.
"What?" Draco asked bemused, she wasn't meant to interrupt his declaration-
"My waters have just broken!"
