Hugo POV…
The next day, I found myself in the backseat with Rose and Scorpius on our way to our maternal grandparents' house. It was not fun being in the car for an hour, especially when Dad was driving. Mum kept telling him to slow down but it only made Dad go faster. I tried to sleep but Rose kept poking me in the side with her elbow. I would glance at her and she made it look like she wasn't doing anything. We finally pulled in the driveway of a blue and white house; it looked like all the others on the street. I got out of the car as fast as I could and stayed far away from Rose as we made our way to the door.
Mum shot us a look before she knocked on the door. Grandma opened the door with a smile on her face. She gave everyone a hug as they came through the door. The house was quieter then the Burrow. There were pictures on the hall wall of when Mum was younger to picture of Rose and me. There were stairs that lead upstairs. Grandma led us to the back of the house where the den was.
We passed the nice sitting room, were no one can go unless you were famous or something. We enter the den to find Granddad watching a game on the TV. Mum greeted her dad, while Dad took a seat next to him asking him who was winning. Mum and Grandma left to go and start dinner for later. Rose said hello to Granddad and took a seat on one of the sofas in the room. Scorpius took a seat next to her. I took a seat in a chair by the TV to watch the game with them.
Later, Grandma called us to dinner; we made our way to the dinning room. Granddad took a seat at the head of the table. Rose, Scorpius, and I sat on one side of the table while Mum and Dad sat at the other side. Grandma smiled at us as she sat down. There was food all over the table; I didn't know where to start. I grabbed the first thing I saw and we passed everything around the table.
After everyone had food on their plates, Grandma asked. "Rose, how is-what is it call," She looked at Mum asking for the name, Mum told her, "Healing school going for you?"
"It's good, Grandma." Rose smiled.
Grandma asked me the same question. I told her everything was fine. "Is there anything new going on in your lives?" She was looking at Scorpius when she said this because she was hoping that Scorpius asked Rose to marry him.
"No, Grandma, Scorpius and I are not engaged." Rose said. "You may want to ask Hugo that." Grandma turned her sharp eyes on me.
"What did you do?" She asked me.
"It's not what I did but what I'm going to be." I said. Grandma gave me a look to move along. "I'm going to be a father." I said so quietly that only Rose heard me. She hit me on the arm.
"What was that, Hugo?" Granddad asked.
I cleared my throat. "I'm going to be a father." I said loud enough for them to hear.
"Did you just say that you are going to be father?" Grandma asked. I nodded. "Hugo Weasley, how could you? You have your whole life a head of you. You don't need a baby holding you back. What are you and the mother going to do about it?"
"We are going to keep the baby and raise it." I said.
"You are not going to get rid of it?" Grandma asked.
"No, Amanda is seventeen weeks along." Grandma opened her mouth to say something but I stop her by saying. "We are not giving it up for adoption, so don't ask." Grandma nodded.
"I see you made up your mind." I nodded. "I don't want you to regret anything in the future." I nodded again. "Good Luck and I'm sorry about asking you." I nodded again.
"It's okay. I just want to tell you that I love Amanda and I'm not going anywhere." I said. I turned to look to see how Granddad was reacting to all this. He had the biggest smile on his face. He knew I was looking at him.
"That is great, Hugo. I can't wait to meet this Amanda." Everyone looked at him like he gone insane or something. "What?" He asked. We shook our heads. "Let's finish this great meal." Granddad took a bit of his turkey. That was the final word, everyone went back to eating.
After dinner and the dishes were clean, we sat around the den opening presents. The last of the presents were handed out when Granddad looked at me. "I have one last thing for Hugo." Granddad got up and motion for me to follow him. I got up and traded a look with Rose. She shrugged her shoulder; she didn't know what was going on either.
I followed him upstairs to his office. He was digging for something in his desk when I entered. "Close the door, Hugo." I closed the door. Granddad took a seat behind the desk. "Take a seat." He pointed to a chair in front of the desk. After I took my seat, Granddad smiled. "Let me first say congratulation." He put a small blue box on the table. He open the box, there was a small diamond ring in there. "This ring was my mother's when my dad asked her to marry him in 1943. My dad gave it to me before he died, he told me to give it to my grandson. Now at the time of his death your mum was only sixteen and having boy problems. I didn't think I was going to have a grandson so I put the ring in a safe place and didn't think of it until the day you were born. I went to find the ring the next day and I put it in my desk until the day I could give it to you." I was reaching for the box.
"Not so fast." Granddad pulled the ring closer to him. "There is a story to this ring and I'm going tell it to you. When my dad gave me this ring, I thought he should have given it to my older brother because he was the reason they got married.
It's 1943 and my dad just turned eighteen, any day he could get a letter telling him that he been drafted for the war. He was in love with his girlfriend, they been dating for the last three years. One day there was a knock on the door and he thought it was the letter that told him that he would be in the war. But it wasn't, it was his girlfriend telling him that she was pregnant.
He didn't know what to do, so the next day he went for a walk and found this ring in a shop window. He bought the ring that day. The next day he went to ask her to marry him, her parents didn't approve because there was a war going on and he could never return. My mother did want her heart told her. They were married one day before my dad left for war. He didn't see my brother being born but he knew he had a family waiting for him when he returned home. My parents lived the next fifty together, raised five kids. I always remember when my dad came home from work he always had on a smile on his face." He handed me the ring. "My father knew that my grandson will need it one day. Now I want you to know that ring will bring you and Amanda, you will be happy for the rest of your lives."
"Thank you, Granddad." I put the ring in my pocket. "Thank you for telling me the story of your parents. I hope that I can do the same with the ring as he did." I walked around the desk and gave him a hug.
"Use it well." He let me go. "We better get back before your grandmother sends out a search party." I nodded and we left the office.
When the stars came out I found myself in front of Amanda's house. Her light was on; I could see her moving around there. I felt the ring in my pocket; I didn't tell anyone about the ring that my granddad gave me. I knew they would push me into asking her. I stood there until the snow started to fall. I enter the kitchen; there was no one there as I made my way up to Amanda's room.
I open the door to her room; Amanda was sitting on the bed. She wearing the old shirt I gave her at the beginning of break. She was showing with a small bump, telling me this was all real. I took off my jacket and set it on the chair next to the door. I was taking of my shirt when Amanda spoke. "Hugo, make love to me." I had one arm in and other out, I was about to pull it over my head when her words stopped. I pulled it down and made my way over to Amanda.
"Are you sure?" I took a seat next to her. I took her hands in my mine. "I don't want to force you because of what I told your brothers yesterday." Amanda took one of hands out of mine and put it on my cheek.
"I know. It just made me love you more and I know I want to." She kissed me. "I love you, Hugo." She looked up at me with her eyes telling me she was ready. This would only be her second time and I wanted it to be prefect for her.
I kiss her once. "If you are sure," She nodded and I took her lips like I was holding back before now. Amanda wrapped her arms around my neck. I slowly lower her to the bed.
Later after I was done making love to Amanda, I laid on my back with one arm around Amanda. She was lying on my chest, sleeping. Her left hand was next to her head; I looked down and wonder what her hand would look with my ring on her finger. While we were making love I knew this was my future. I pulled her close before I closed my eyes. There was a smile on my face because I wanted this for the rest of my life.
