Chapter ten

'You're what?' Ginny blurted out loudly.

'Pregnant, healer Gibbs told me yesterday.'

'Then there's only one solution.'

'Oh, and what might that be?' Harry's voice was cold because he could already tell what Ginny was going to say.

'You terminate the child.'

'Forget it, I'm keeping my child and nothing anyone has to say will change my mind.'

'But we're together, how will that look, everyone will know. It's not right Harry, you have to think of us, so get rid of it.'

'No, I'm thinking about an innocent life here, the baby stays.'

'How do you expect me to raise someone else's child?'

'I don't, I already explained to Draco since he is the other parent, he wants to be involved.'

'No, absolutely not, I won't have him in our life. So you've got a choice to make, him or me.'

'I chose the baby which means Draco is part of it, take that any way you want, but it means him because I'm keeping this baby,' Harry stormed out of the room to see the rest of the Weasley's had arrived.

'You're serious, you're going to break up with me over this?'

'You told me to choose, I did. Blimey you can be a selfish bitch Ginny.'

'Alright, stop right now,' Arthur raised his voice, 'What is going on?'

'The night I went undercover as a woman, there was more that happened then what was released.'

'But you told me what happened Harry, the next day at work,' Ron said.

'I left some details out, Gawain said no one needed to know. As you know we went with that death eater, what you don't know was there was a party, a party where everyone was having sex. I had an hour before all of you were due to arrive, we had no choice or it could have meant we were killed.'

'So you had sex with Draco, but why is Ginny being selfish?' Arthur asked.

'Because I fell pregnant and she wants me to get rid of the baby, I won't, so we're through. I'll see you at work Ron, I'm going,' Harry didn't stop for more questions just hurried from the house.

'Did you really ask Harry to get rid of the baby, his baby?' Hermione asked.

'Yes, I can't raise someone else's kid and he wants Malfoy involved, he's already told him.'

'Harry would never terminate, he has no blood family Ginny, so how could you possibly believe Harry would chose you over his child,' Hermione glared at Ginny.

'It's not like he planned this and none of us knew what the effects of this would have been. All the aurors discussed who was going to change that night, but Draco said he felt more comfortable with Harry as they did help each other out, he trusted Harry, so Gawain appointed that job to Harry. It could have ended up being any one of us, including me. None of us chose, Gawain chose who would go. But Hermione's right, you don't know Harry at all if you asked him to do that.'

'I'm his girlfriend, we're talking about a future together.'

'Doesn't give you the right to tell Harry to terminate his baby,' Hermione said, 'I'm going to go see Harry, are you coming Ron or staying?'

'You go, you can usually calm him down better than me, but tell him I'm on his side with this. I can't wait to be uncle Ron, but he's not to name the kid after me.'

'I think it will be named after his parents or Sirius,' Hermione kissed Ron, glared at Ginny again before leaving. She apparated straight to Harry's home, ran inside to see Harry sitting on the floor against the sofa, she sat beside him, 'We're here for you, Ron is as well and can't wait to be uncle Ron.'

Harry chuckled, 'Thanks, I can't believe she asked that.'

'Neither can I, so you told Draco?'

'Yeah, he was shocked at first which I get, but he's happy about the baby, wants to be involved, including my check-up's. Being gay he never thought he would have kids.'

'You're lucky your friends with him now or this might have been hard on both of you and the child.'

'Yeah, it would have, but we talk whenever we see each other. In one way I get Ginny being angry, but to ask me to terminate, I can't believe she would ask me that,' Harry shook his head, 'Then she wanted him to have nothing to do with it, I couldn't do that. Imagine if we had changed places, he might have been pregnant and Ginny would want me to have nothing to do with the baby,' Harry put his hands down on his stomach, 'It's hard to believe, a baby.'

'Yes, a baby,' Hermione put her hand on Harry's stomach, 'Ron said you can't call the baby after him.'

Harry chuckled again, 'It will be James or Lily, Sirius for the middle name if it's a boy, but I'm going to add Malfoy in there. So it will be James, Sirius, Malfoy Potter, Lily Malfoy Potter, not sure about a middle name. You and Ron will be the godparents.'

'Thank you, he or she will be loved by us. But Harry, what about dating, the same thing might happen?'

'I'll date, tell them about the child straight away and about Draco. But I never wanted to get serious with Ginny, she did, not to mention her parents. I'm just glad we weren't living together, just talked about it.'

'Yes, I know, but you're lucky they allowed sex before marriage.'

'They didn't but they realise they couldn't stop Ginny and because I said I wasn't going to get married. We either live together after a year or so, or call it quits. Ginny's too stubborn and I know she was hoping with time she could change my mind, I've always known that, but I won't, it's not something I want. I did tell her that a lot, nothing would change my mind about marriage. I don't care if it's a boy or girl, but a boy would be better, keep the Potter name going.'

'You'll find out in eight months' time. I never thought you would beat me and Ron to having children.'

'I never thought I would have children, mainly due to the danger and who I am, how I'm thought of.'

'Yes, you mentioned that but I'm glad you're going to be a father. I believe you will make a great father. Think of it though Harry, all the original death eaters are dead or locked up. The only danger now is normal danger that can affect all of us, it's not aimed at you, not anymore.'

'I know and I had started to think about maybe kids will come into my life, in a few years. That's another thing, I knew Molly and Arthur wouldn't allow Ginny to have kids without being married, that's why I never said anything when those last death eaters were caught.'

'Why are you so against marriage?'

'I'm not against it Hermione, it's just something I don't want. I've been a loner all my life, I couldn't share every part of my life with someone else and that's what a wife would expect. You and Ron know a lot, but even then I've keep some things to myself. You didn't like it but you accepted it because you know me, you know it's how I am and who I am. A wife would not accept that so to me not getting married suits me.'

'Yes, you like to keep a lot to yourself. But now let aunt Hermione make you some tea, if you get up off this floor. It's not good for a pregnant…person to sit on a cold floor.'

Harry chuckled, 'You were going to say pregnant woman, I'm glad you didn't. I might be a woman on the inside but I'm all male on the outside. I could prove it if I didn't want to get hexed by my two best friends.'

'Smart arse Potter, no I do not want to see your male bits,' Hermione stood and pulled Harry to his feet, 'Ron will be here soon, let's go have some tea then we'll work on dinner.'

'Thanks Hermione,' Harry kissed her cheek then followed her into the kitchen where she made him sit while she made tea.
