Ginny wasn't feeling well.

In all honesty she hadn't been feeling well that whole week. She had been constantly nauseous, and had thrown up quite a lot.

She had been feeling hungry all the time, but everything she ate made her be sick once more. It was very annoying and distracting, especially considering she had a lot of business to deal with in her company.

A rival company had opened, and it was quite successful, causing Ginny to start losing some business. She did not like that very much, and had spent most of the week trying to develop new ideas, start more projects, and deal with endless meetings, all to make sure that she stayed on top.

The last couple of days, Draco had forced her to stay home and rest, which again, Ginny did not like. She tried reasoning with him, but he wouldn't budge, and seeing as he was just as stubborn as her, if not more, she agreed in bitter contempt.

She contemplated just going to work when he left the house, but he had warned her that he spoke with her secretary, and if she stepped foot into her office, he would know.

She usually would have just gone anyway, it wasn't that she was afraid of Draco or anything, but she just didn't feel well enough to bother, and she kind of liked the fact he wanted to take care of her, not that she would ever admit it of course.

So, that was why she was currently laying on her bed, reading a good book, and drinking a hot tea. And she did have to admit, it was more enjoyable than working.

A sharp tap on the bedroom door caused Ginny to jump slightly and put down her book. She got up slowly, sighing in annoyance when she felt slight nausea churning, but dismissed it and went to open the door.

She tightened her fuzzy blue robe, and opened the door to see a smiling Hermione Granger. Ginny instantly beamed at her friend, and hugged her tightly.

"Hermione! It's so great to see you! Come in!" Ginny exclaimed and ushered her inside the room.

It had been a few weeks since Hermione had given birth to Turner, and she was positively radiant. Ginny had expected Hermione to look worn, tired, and to still have some of the weight she had gained because of the baby. But it was the opposite. Hermione had dropped all the weight very quickly, and she had an utterly happy glow to her. She looked healthy, refreshed and joyous than ever.

"Tea?" Ginny offered as she and Hermione sat in armchairs across from each other, beside the fireplace.

"Oh that would be lovely!" Hermione replied and shifted slightly in the comfortable chair. Ginny smiled and snapped her fingers, a cup of tea instantly appearing in front of both girls.

Hermione shivered slightly, and Ginny upon seeing the small action, turned to look at the fireplace, which almost instantly burst into flames. It was oddly cool for a summer day, but the fire was warming the room up quite nicely.

Hermione smiled at the younger woman in front of her, "This is so nice Gin, I feel like I haven't seen you in weeks!" She exclaimed and Ginny nodded.

"I agree," She stopped to sip her tea, "Things have been a little crazy these past few weeks. The only reason I'm not working right now is because I haven't been feeling well for the past week. I kept feeling nauseous and such. Draco made me stay home." Ginny grinned sheepishly at her last statement and Hermione smiled lightly.

"How are things with Draco? You two seem pretty serious."

Ginny grinned, "Well, we haven't been officially dating long, but honestly it's been going good so far, and we had our whole ordeal before that, which in a way brought us closer. Everything just seems natural with him."

Hermione smiled, but did not reply. She just sat with a knowing look and drank her tea.

"I mean," Ginny continued sensing Hermione's knowing gaze, "He can be an arrogant git at times, but he is actually a lot of fun. And I really think he loves me, like he says."

Hermione smirked, "You love him too then I gather?" She said and Ginny blushed slightly. There was never any hiding anything from Hermione.

"I think I do. I can't imagine not being with him, and he's just… I dunno how to explain but I just think I do." Ginny answered which made Hermione smile once more.

"Enough about me though!" Ginny exclaimed, "How about you? How's Turner? Ron?"

Hermione broke into a wide grin, "Everything is great! I was so afraid of becoming a mother but so far it's been pretty easy. Turner is simply wonderful, he hardly cries and is always smiling or laughing! And Ron," She paused and took a long sip of tea, "He loves being a father! He wanted kids ever since we left Hogwarts. I was the one who always wanted to wait. But anyhow, he loves it, and he is good at it so far."

Ginny smiled, "I'm so happy for you two Hermione I really am!"

Hermione grinned, and the two witches continued the conversation, well into the rest of the afternoon. They had been brought lunch into the bedroom, and simply spent time talking and catching up.

Ginny had just finished her chicken sandwich, when she felt another wave of nausea coming. The whole time Hermione had been over, she had felt fine, but now the sick feeling was back. Ginny clutched her stomach and put a hand over her mouth to stop the vomit from coming up. She leapt out of her chair and made a mad dash to the bathroom.

She could hear Hermione's quick footsteps come into the room after her. Ginny sighed deeply.

"Told you I've been feeling sick." Ginny said, a weak smile on her face as she turned to look at Hermione.

Hermione did not return the smile, she only frowned at the red head in front of her. "Gin, how long have you been throwing up?" She asked, worry etched into her voice.

Ginny stood up and shrugged, walked over to the sink and started to brush her teeth. "About a week I guess, maybe a little longer." She said after spitting and rinsing her mouth.

"And, have you been feeling a bit moody lately?" Hermione continued and Ginny raised an eyebrow.

"Well only a little bit, but I think it's because I'm supposed to get my period any day now. It's more than a week late."

Hermione's frown deepened, "Ginny, have you considered that maybe you're-"

"Pregnant?" Ginny interrupted her with shock in her voice. She hadn't even considered that, but she continued,"Hermione I'm not pregnant! No way! Draco and I always use protection! Oh wait…there was this one time about a month ago but-" Ginny paused suddenly, her face became pale.

Hermione cleared her throat, "You know, it's easy to check."

Ginny nodded solemnly, processing the thought. She motioned for Hermione to do the spell for her. She was worried, she couldn't be pregnant could she? What if she was? She wasn't ready to be a mother!

Hermione pointed to Ginny's stomach with her wand and whispered a spell. A golden flash erupted from the wand, and a small red circle of light surrounded Ginny. Hermione gasped and Ginny felt her heart stop for a moment. Her eyes widened, and she took a sharp breath.

"I'm going to kill that bloody bastard." Ginny whispered, rage starting to fill her and she tore out of the bathroom, ignoring Hermione's protests. Ginny went to the closet and threw on a pair of jeans and a white tank top. Her rage still blinding her she grabbed her wand and apparated with a loud pop.

Draco sat in his large office, sipping contently on a hot mug of coffee. It had been a stressful day, lots of meetings concerning the shopping malls they were adding to the hotels. It had been a lot more complicated than he originally thought, but he knew it would be worth it in the end.

He was also worried about Ginny. She had been living with him for almost two months now, they had decided to forget their previous agreement in which they would live at his place for a month and than hers. At least, they were too lazy, and Draco just kept postponing it whenever Ginny remembered it. Anyhow, she was very sick for the whole week, and Draco had wanted to take her to St. Mungo's but she would not let him.

Stubborn bint, He thought but smiled. Thinking of Ginny always seemed to make him smile.

A loud crash from outside his office made he forget his thoughts. It seemed to be coming from the lobby of the top floor, where his office was located, of course, and he heard shouting.

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY BITCH!" He heard, and the voice was familiar to him, but it was slightly muffled so he couldn't place whom it belonged to.

He heard loud footsteps approaching his office and he grabbed his wand, but remained seated behind his desk.

The door was thrust open with such force, that he surprised to see it was Ginny who stood there, looking angrier than ever. She slammed the door behind her and ran to him, grabbing a book from his desk on the way.

"Gin, what's-" Draco started but she interrupted him by starting to rapidly hit him with the book.

"OW! Bloody hell Gin, what's got into you! Fuck! Stop that!" He yelled but she would not listen.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TELL ME WHAT TO DO DRACO MALFOY! YOU BLOODY MORON! YOU GIT! YOU WANKER!" She yelled and continued hitting him, now not with the book but with her fists.

He tried moving away from her but she would not let him. Finally he managed to grab her wrists and held them tightly, away from him.

"Ginny? What in the name of Merlin's pants is going on?" He shouted and she glared at him. She yanked her wrists out his grasp and stepped away from him.

"You! It's all you're fault! I TOLD you! We should have been careful, but YOU said 'no it'll be fine Ginny!' How could I listen to you! This is horrible!" She shouted, now pacing in front of him flailing her arms about.

Draco raised his eyebrow and stared at her quizzically. "What the hell are you on about?" He asked and she glared at him again.

"I'm fucking pregnant Draco! And it's all you're fault!" She yelled, but this time, she let out a loud sob, and slid down the wall to the floor. She hid her face and she was now sobbing loudly.

Draco gasped. He was still processing what had just happened. He was going to be a father? Him? He was shocked, he didn't know what to do. Then he noticed Ginny, who was crying loudly in front of him. He shook his thoughts and worries away, knowing that she needed him right now.

He walked over to her, and sat next to her, putting his arm around his shoulder, and he pulled her close, her head now resting on his chest.

She clutched his shirt, feeling it get drenched by her tears. "I'm just… I'm so afraid Draco." She whispered and let out another sob.

He rubbed her back gently, and placed his chin on the top of her head. "I know. I am too." He said quietly, and she looked up at him, her hazel eyes bright, and her cheeks were tear stained.

"If you… don't want it, I understand, if you want to leave me I mean." She said with a shaky breath and he furrowed his eyebrows, offended.

"Do you really think I would ever do that? That I would leave you? Just like that?" He said, his lip curled in distaste of the thought.

"Well, I dunno. I didn't think you'd want to be stuck with someone who is about to be fat hag." She said and sighed, putting her head to rest on his chest again.

He chuckled loudly, and she looked up at him, frowning. "What's so funny?" She asked pouting slightly.

"You make me laugh Weasley." He smiled, and she returned it, although it was slightly weak.

"Draco," she said with another shaky breath, "What if I'm a horrible mother? What if the kid will hate me?" She sniffed and another tear slid down her cheek.

"Ginny," he wiped the tear from her cheek, "I know you'll be a great mother, and I don't think anyone can ever hate you." He said and pulled her even closer.

She laughed suddenly, "You are such a sap Draco Malfoy!" She stated and continued to lean on him.

He grinned but did not reply. The thought of a child was slightly troubling, but the more he thought about it, he felt excitement growing in him. He was ready for this, and he knew she was too.

XXXX

"Marry me."

"What?"

"You heard me. Marry me."

"You've got to be joking," Ginny laughed and Draco smirked.

"Nope. Marry me." He said simply and Ginny raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow.

"You're serious aren't you?" She murmured, more to herself than to him.

"Dead serious. Now… Marry me." He smirked and Ginny frowned.

"I thought you were against marriage?" She asked and grabbed an apple from the bowl of fruit sitting on the kitchen counter.

Ginny and Draco had just gotten back from a day out with Blaise and Lorena. It had been fun, spending time all together, and with Blaise, Lorena and Draco, things were always funny.

When they had got back though, she was hungry so she had gone into the kitchen to eat something.

Just when she stepped into the kitchen, Draco had snuck up behind her, turned her towards him, and popped the question.

"Well, I was, but you're different." He replied, "Besides, we are already living together, you are carrying my child, it only seems right." He said and Ginny snorted.

"Well that's romantic," she said sarcastically, rolling her eyes and taking a bite out of the apple.

"Yes well," he slid his arms around her waist and pulled her to him, their lips now inches apart, "I'm not a very romantic guy. Yet," He paused and started trailing kisses behind her ears and down her neck, "You adore me anyway."

She could just feel his smirk on her collarbone.

"Well, aren't you an arrogant bastard." She smirked, threw the apple on the counter, and put her hands in his hair, pulling it up so now they were eye level. Ginny's smirk grew as she trailed her fingers down his torso, which made him shiver.

"Damn you." He growled, and he attacked her lips.

XXXX

"So you still haven't answered me Gin. Would you do the honor of becoming my Mrs. Malfoy?" Draco said and Ginny gasped slightly.

The two were currently cuddling on a couch in one of the many sitting rooms at Malfoy Manor.

When Draco had first 'popped the question', Ginny had panicked. It was so sudden, and she got caught off guard. She just wasn't sure she was ready for that step yet. Yes, they were going to have a baby, not that it was planned, and she knew that was an even bigger step. Hell, she was pretty sure she wasn't ready for that either. All she knew was that everything was happening too fast, and she needed to catch a breath.

She knew Draco wouldn't have dropped the subject, so she had decided to… distract him, even if it was only for a while. After having blissful sex, it appeared he had forgotten all about the marriage subject, and they had continued the rest of the day relaxed and simply enjoying a quiet evening. After dinner, they had went to one of the sitting rooms, and ended up lying next to each other on one of the couches, Draco reading a book, and Ginny simply thinking peacefully.

He had once again caught her by surprise, and she couldn't help but gasp loudly when he spoke, breaking the comfortable silence.

She turned to face him, her head resting against his arm and he had a gaze in his eyes, which she couldn't understand.

She took a deep breath, "Draco, marriage is a big step."

"So is having a baby." He countered and Ginny sighed, closing her eyes for a second, and opened them once again to look at him.

"That wasn't planned though." She said quietly and he raised an eyebrow.

"I know that, but there isn't much we could do about that. Anyway, I was thinking of you when you asked. What about your family? How do you think they would react to their 'innocent' Ginny being pregnant before marriage?" He argued and she bit her bottom lip.

He has a good point, Mum and Dad would slaughter me. Not to mention the boys. As she pondered this fact she imagined her and Draco getting married. It wouldn't be too different from things now. Maybe marriage wouldn't be a bad thing? Oh, but everything was happening so fast… Did she want this? She was going to have a baby after all, it probably would be better if she and Draco were married. She was so confused.

"You do have a good point," She agreed and he smirked knowingly, "But Draco, do you really love me? To get married, I mean it goes against everything you always said!" She exclaimed and sat up.

"If it's with you than it's worth it. And yes I love you, bloody idiot you are for even asking. Think I'd put up with you this long if I didn't?" He said teasingly and Ginny smiled weakly.

"I want to say yes Draco, I really do, but it's all happening so fast. What if we end up hating each other, getting in a big piss of a fight and then getting a divorce? I don't know if I'd be able to handle that." She explained in a strained voice, feeling her eyes well up with tears.

Curse these damn hormones! She thought angrily, and glared up at her forehead. Draco laughed at her antics, and wiped a tear that had fallen down her cheek. He was now propped on his elbow, his grey orbs looking into her hazel ones searchingly.

"Ginny, do you love me?" He asked and she nodded lightly, not able to speak, or she might start wailing. She wasn't sad, she was just about to cry for no important reason. It was odd.

He grinned, "I love you too, and I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know I'm sounding like a mushy git right now but I mean it! Ginny look at me… no look at me for one minute! Marriage is just a stuffy formal title, and it wouldn't change anything between us, but think about you're family! About this child! Don't you think they would accept it better? I know how much you're family's approval means to you Ginny." He finished with a deep breath at looked at her expectantly.

She pondered over his words, and realized he was right. He loved her, she loved him, and she was carrying his child. It was as simple as that. Things had been going great so far, and they wouldn't change, marriage was just a title.

Finally after about a minute of silence Ginny broke out into a smile, and leaned in close to him, their mouths inches away. His eyebrows rose and she saw a light flicker in his eyes.

"Alright then Malfoy, I'll marry you." She proclaimed and he broke into a wide grin, "Just promise me something," She continued and he nodded.

"What's that?" He asked his finger now stroking her soft cheek.

"Promise you won't break my heart." She replied.

"Never." And then he kissed her once more.

XXXX

"Hello everyone!" Ginny called out cheerily as she entered the Burrow, Draco in toe. They had been invited over for dinner, so that the Weasley's could 'get to know Draco better'. Ginny snorted at the thought, They want to bloody murder him is more like it, she couldn't help but smile at the image of Draco being chased by her brothers. It was funny, he just wouldn't see the humor in it of course.

As Ginny happily went to greet her family in the sitting room, Draco held back and remained in the hallway. It was all too awkward for him. He had never met one of his girlfriends' families before, although Ginny was much more to him than just a girlfriend. They were engaged for Pete's sake! It was about time he officially got to meet her family.

He had met them a few times, when he had first joined the Order, during the war. They had not trusted him at first, which he fully expected, but slowly they came to understand he was a valuable asset to the Order because he had a lot of knowledge on Voldemort. Slowly they had come to trust him, and he had proved his worth.

Although he had helped them, they still hadn't been on the friendliest terms, so Draco was not sure what to think of this little 'meeting' now. He was anxious. Would they accept him? How would they react to the fact he and Ginny were engaged?

They had decided, that since it was still only Ginny's first month of pregnancy, they would not share those news yet. They would wait until Ginny was further on in her pregnancy, and besides, he wasn't particularly looking forward to being skinned alive.

Shuddering slightly at the thought, he glanced down the hall into the small sitting room. The house itself was very small, but he had expected that, Ginny had briefed him on all the important things he should know before they came over. It had a shabby look to it, but there was just something… warm, about the place. It felt like a house should. At least, it felt more welcoming than his childhood home had ever been.

He felt very uncomfortable, as if intruding in to a private affair, but he held his place. He contemplated if to follow Ginny into the sitting room, or to wait for her to call him over. Just as he decided he might as well be bold and go in, Molly Weasley bustled towards him with her arms opened wide and a bright smile on her face.

"Draco! So good of you to come! We've all been excited to get to know you more, although Ginny already told us plenty!" She said quickly as she embraced him and Draco returned the hug back awkwardly.

"Thank you for inviting me Mrs. Weasley." He said, flashing her his winning smile. Well she seems nice enough, He thought as she led him into the sitting room telling him about the meal she prepared and he played up his charm, knowing that if Molly Weasley liked him, the rest would leave him alone, at least in her presence.

As she ushered him into the sitting room, all the previous greetings and conversations stopped. All eyes were on Draco, and he shifted his weight awkwardly.

"Um, hello all…" He said with a small wave and a half smile. Most of the occupants smiled back or nodded, but Harry and Ron continued to glare at him coldly. Draco did his best to ignore them, but it was proving rather difficult. Upon noticing this, Ginny rushed to Draco's side and pulled him over to one of the unoccupied couches. The conversations resumed, but Draco could still feel eyes on him.

Ginny put a comforting hand on his arm, and she smiled at him. "I know this is odd for you, but it means a lot to me." She said quietly and he nodded.

"Yes well, if your brother and Potty don't poison anything I eat than I should be alright." He replied curtly and Ginny giggled.

"Oh, they would never poison you. They would want to make you suffer first."

He narrowed his eyes at her, "Not funny."

Ginny snorted, "Trust me love, it is."

XXXX

"Well, that went… well enough." Ginny stated as she threw her purse on to the bed.

They had just returned from dinner with the Weasley's. Most of the evening had gone surprisingly well, and most of her family had been nice enough to Draco, well at least until they had told them they were engaged.

They had finished dinner, and had taken dessert to the sitting room, everyone in a fairly good mood. It seemed that Draco had gotten along best with her brothers, Bill, Charlie and Fred and George. Even her father had quite a few conversations with her fiancé, and he seemed to be considerably all right with the situation, although she was sure her mother had something to do with that.

But then, when Ginny had announced they were engaged, well, lets just say, a couple of dishes were broken, a shouting match between Ginny and Ron broke out, and her father and brothers (and Harry of course) had taken Draco 'for a small chat', from which he emerged looking fairly frightened.

He then insisted they go home, and she complied, and after a quick goodbye they returned to Malfoy Manor.

Draco simply glared at her, "Oh I'm sure it was lovely for you, you're genitals weren't threatened to be hexed off." He grumbled as he took off his shirt and threw it on the nearest chair.

Ginny who was already undressed, grabbed her silk nightgown that was strewn on top of the bed and pulled it on.

"Oh stop whining Draco. Believe me it could have been much worse."

"Not my fault you're bloody family hates me." He muttered and Ginny shot him an icy glare. She turned on her heel and marched into the bathroom.

She washed her face, and stated to take off her makeup when Draco had followed her into the bathroom clad in dark blue boxers.

"Can you pass me my toothbrush?" He grumbled and Ginny thrust it at him, clearly annoyed.

The couple continued preparing for bed in a begrudging silence, and Ginny who finished first exited the bathroom, slamming the door on her way out.

Bloody pregnancy hormones, He though angrily, and stumbled out of the bathroom after her.

She was already in the bed, arms crossed and a scowl on her face. "Draco do you mind hurrying, I want to go to sleep."

He just grunted, and clambered in to the king sized bed. With a wave of his wand which was on the beside table, the lights went off, and they both settled, still annoyed.

After a couple minutes of silence, Ginny sighed. "I don't want to go to sleep sour." She said and turned to face him.

"I don't either Gin," He replied and turned to face her.

She snuggled up to him, "I know how hard it was for you, but I really appreciate it."

He simply nodded, pulled her close to him and kissed the top of her head. "You know," he started, "it's going to be a long road together, but we should be able to handle it."

Ginny nodded, and turned once more, snuggling up to him, and he hugged her. "Good night Draco."

"Good night."
