Hermione was about to answer but was interrupted by a loud pop. Hermione screamed and jumped onto the couch curling up into a ball.
"Dad? What are you doing here?" Ron asked. Hermione uncurled herself and stood up to look at Mr. Weasley his face worried his wand drawn.
"Oh, Ron you're home," Mr. Weasley said in relief and put his wand away. "Well I should let you talk to Hermione. Floo if you need anything," Mr. Weasley said before heading to the fireplace. Hermione watched as her father figure walked into the green flames.
"What in the world?" Ron asked also looking at the flames.
"I was on a floo call with him when you came in," Hermione stated. "I told him about the letter,"
"You haven't answered my question," Ron said still not looking at her.
"About a week," Hermione sniffed. Ron turned and walked over to Hermione quickly. Hermione reacted in a way she never thought she would. She shrieked and cringed away from Ron. Ron stopped in his tracks looking as if he had been slapped. He backed away from the couch his eyes wide. "Ron I didn't mean…" Hermione started to sob.
"Hermione, are you afraid of me?" Ron asked as he sat on the recliner on the other side of the room.
"NO! No Ron really I'm not. I love you please don't think that," Hermione sobbed as she rushed over to Ron and knelt in front of him holding his face in her hands. She could see the tears in his eyes. She started to sob harder her breath coming faster and sharper. Ron got a fearful look in his eyes.
"Mione stay calm. Deep breaths it's okay. Deep breaths," Ron said picking Hermione up and putting her on his lap.
"Please don't be angry with me. I just love you so much. Please don't leave me," Hermione sobbed into his neck.
"I'm not going anywhere but if you don't calm down our baby is going to get hurt," Ron said rubbing her back and holding her tightly. Hermione nodded her head and took deep breaths. She eventually calmed down. "How do you feel, Mione?" Ron asked after the crying stopped.
"Like I hurt you," Hermione whispered.
"I meant physically Hermione. How about the baby?" Ron asked kissing her head.
"We are okay I think," Hermione assured him. "But are we okay?" She asked looking into his eyes.
"I just need you to answer one question," Ron stated simply and Hermione nodded. "Are you afraid that I might hit you?"
"Ron, I love you so much. I know you would never hurt me. It's just sometimes I get caught up in the emotion and react like I used to," Hermione said stroking his cheek.
"But you aren't afraid of me?" Ron clarified.
"Not at all you are my savior not my enemy," Hermione replied. "I am not afraid of you Ron,"
Ron nodded and picked Hermione up and carried her into their bedroom. He placed her on the bed and laid down next to her.
"Now we need to talk about that letter," Ron said brushing Hermione's hair out of her face.
"It came about a week ago in the post. I was so scared for your life," Hermione responded looking intently into Ron's eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"He said he'd hurt you if I did, I couldn't risk it," she replied simply.
"I don't want to risk you, or the baby. Please no more secrets," Ron said putting a hand on Hermione's belly.
"No more secrets," She agreed. "But what now?"
"I talk to Kingsley and we fix this whole mess, and until this you will not be alone. You are either with me or with a family member, preferably me," Ron replied. Hermione nodded agreeing and already feeling a bit safer. "Hermione?"
"Hmm?"
"Is this why you haven't called for a divorce yet?" Ron asked shyly.
"Yes, I was too afraid he would really hurt you if I did. But I'll do it now first thing in the morning, I'll floo my lawyer," Hermione said with a small smile.
"I don't want to rush you Mione," Ron responded worried he was forcing her.
"You are not rushing me Ron I want this to all be over when the baby is born," Hermione said.
"Me too," Ron responded. Hermione nestled up to Ron her head tucked under his chin his arms holding her firmly.
"I love you, Ron," Hermione whispered.
"I love you too, Mione and I will keep you safe," Ron said and he held her tighter.
