Hey guys! I hate how crappy my updates have been, I really can't set a timeline for updates, I'm sorry!
This is just a fluffy chapter, I figured we needed some humour and happiness to contrast the drama fest just gone!
Enjoy!

Rose's POV:

I rolled over in bed to feel a pair of strong arms wrap around my stomach protectively. This was my favourite way to wake up.

Scorpius and I had spent a few days cooling off after our very emotional day. We had both come to terms with what happened and what had been said, and we were pushing past it together. I still felt upset when I thought of the ordeal, but I trusted Scorpius. He was committed to myself and the baby, and that meant more to me than what had occurred.

"Morning beautiful."

I stretched my arms above my head and opened my sleepy eyes a fraction to see him. His striking blond hair was tangled in itself from his sleep, his eyes barely open, matching my own, "It's the afternoon, handsome."

I loved Scorpius. That's why seeing him with Poppy was so hard to shake, that's why I was so angry and broken; I was afraid he didn't love me back. But seeing him standing out in the rain at our doorstep like some muggle film cliche, and hearing all the reasons why he wanted to stay and what he wanted for our future, all my doubts had been abolished. He had chosen the Rose over the Poppy, and I was in full bloom.

"Shit, we need to stop doing that! Did we have any plans for what's left of the day?" he sighed into my hair, still holding me close.

"Nope, just to stay in this bed with you all day long."

Scorpius' eyes furrowed with disappointment, "You're forgetting one thing."

I glided my hands up and down his defined abs and muttered, "Shit, the dinner. We could just skip it?"

He groaned quietly and snatched my hand in his own before it could linger anywhere else, "You know we can't, your mum will never forgive you."

He was right, mum would hex me into oblivion if I missed our monthly family dinner. I was in charge of the slow-cooked lamb, after all, so if I didn't deliver, I'd have more than just my mother after me. Suddenly a wave of anxiety washed over me when I realised I'd already failed my responsibility, and I shot up straight in bed.

"Fuck, I forgot to put the lamb on this morning!"

"Relax," Scorpius pushed me back down onto the bed, "I put it in for you while you were asleep."

I couldn't even hide my grin, "God I'm so lucky to have you."

"You better give me credit when all the Weasley's rave about it tonight!"

I started whining, "Please just let us stay here tonight! I'll put on some sexy pyjamas and let you watch whatever movie you want."

He whistled sarcastically, "Damn, that is a really good offer, but I'm still going to choose Weasley food."

I rolled my eyes and held back a laugh, "I'm trying to be sexy here and you're ruining it!"

"You don't need to try babe, you're always sexy, but sexy isn't going to feed me."

I looked down at my basketball of a stomach and snorted unattractively. Sure, I was about as sexy as a flobberworm, although I was worse; I was a pregnant flobberworm. Still, I was open to any compliment, true or false.

Scorpius had rolled himself on top of me, gently positioning himself between my legs, his head resting on my stomach. We both watched with amusement as his head bobbled upwards slightly each time our baby kicked against him.

"This one is a beater for sure!" he laughed as the baby continued thrashing, "She's giving you a fair beating anyway."

"Yeah," I groaned. The truth was that, even though I loved feeling the baby kick, and seeing Scorpius get so excited over it, it bloody hurt. Tracey had warned the baby would begin to kick my rib cage soon, and I was already terrified for that day.

Scorpius gave my stomach a few more, soft kisses before he got up and headed to the shower. I wanted so badly to jump in there with him, but for the sake of us getting to the dinner on time, I resisted. While he was showering, I began rubbing some special stretch-mark remover potion on my stomach that Astoria had bought for me. Looking down at my stomach, I fell into a lovely trance, tracing small circles around it continuously and smiling at nothing in particular.

"What's that grin for?"

Scorpius emerged from the bathroom with just a towel wrapped around his hips. I followed his body as he moved across the bedroom, a smug expression on his face, towards the wardrobe where he began getting dressed.

"Nothing, I just can't believe there's a little person in here," I laughed as I held onto my stomach in disbelief.

"Yep, little Cassiopeia," he said firmly as he reentered the room.

"Nope," I shook my head, "Douglas."

"You have terrible baby name taste, besides, I've never heard of a girl being named Douglas!"

I held back my bemused frustration, "You are impossible! I swear, at my next appointment I am requesting the gender to finish this once and for all!"

"But where's the fun in that?" he smirked at me as he pulled his shirt over his head, his torso rippling as he did.

Scorpius strode across the room and climbed onto the bed right beside me. He quickly began to place small, quick kisses on my lips and cheeks, before trailing down my neck and shoulders. I giggled at the feeling on my skin, my heart fluttering with love, before I pulled his head back up and finished off with one, lengthy kiss.

"I don't want to get out of this bed."

"God, I love you so much Rose," his eyes caught mine. Scorpius had made a habit just in the past few days to say those words as much as possible, it was obvious he was trying to give me daily reassurance of the fact.

"I love you too Scorpius," I beamed back at him, completely content with my words and their meaning.

He gave me a wide, goofy smile before he leant down to plant a kiss on my stomach, "And I love you too, little Tiffany."

"He will not be named Tiffany either!"

The evening had quickly arrived, as it was bound to after sleeping all through the day, and Scorpius and I found ourselves flooing to my parent's home where the family gathering would once again be hosted.

When arrived the family was in full swing, my cousins were all grouped together in the living room, while our parents were occupying the dining room. The first person to notice our presence was grandpa Arthur. The older red-head approached us with his arms extended and a large smile on his face.

"My little Rosie, there you are," grandpa Arthur pulled me in for a hug, "Louis was about to come hunting for you, thought you'd ditched us!"

"I could never ditch you guys, granddad!" I looked at Scorpius sideways to warn him not to speak.

"And Scorpius, good to see you son," he shook Scorpius' hand firmly, "How's the happy couple?"

Thanks to Dom and Al keeping their mouths shut, most of the family was oblivious to the breakdown we had had on Sunday, which made moving on from the altercation so much easier. Scorpius and I could go back to normal without the complications that came with a large family being involved.

"Perfect Arthur, never been happier," Scorpius said truthfully.

I put the lamb on the dining table, said hello to my aunties and uncles briefly, letting them admire my elephant-sized stomach, before we both decided to accompany my cousins in the living room. We all shared a hello, and I took a seat on one of the couches to listen in on the their current conversation.

"I'm telling you, she's seeing someone else!" Fred growled, "She has barely spent any time with me these past two weeks!"

"Fred, come on," Roxanne rolled her eyes, "You guys have only been together for a month."

Lily piped up, "Yeah, she probably doesn't know how to define your relationship yet, give her a break."

Fred's girlfriend Kaitlin was from Canada, a intern at the Ministry. Besides her mesmerising accent and stunning, long brown hair, I didn't really know much about her. The conversation didn't surprise me, though, Fred was a very paranoid lover. He had left his last girlfriend because he caught her chatting to the muggle mailman near his apartment. The rumour was that Fred's girlfriend of two years, Esme - although never confirmed - had cheated on him with her boss, and he had lost all trust for women since. I felt sorry for Kaitlin, an innocent girl, stuck with my psycho cousin.

"My bet is she is cheating!" Hugo boomed, causing Lily to slap him for adding more fuel to the fire.

"I'm going to find out," Fred groaned, "Anyone with me?"

I shook my head, "You know, last year I would've said yes in a heartbeat, but this," I pointed to my stomach, "Is not getting involved in some crazy man investigation for a long time."

Fred crossed his arms like a chastised child and look around the room for more help. Dominique raised her hand, "Fine, I'll help you."

As I listened to my cousins plot out their childish plan, I realised how mature I had grown just through the year. Perhaps it was bound to happen as I got older, or maybe finding out I was pregnant and settling into a home with a man I had really only just met had something to do with it. Either way, hunting down Fred's girlfriend to try and catch her cheating did not sound as appealing to me as it used to.

Before my ruthless cousin could plot too much disaster, mum called us all into the dining room to have dinner. Our large family poured into the room and found our seats, ready to feast. I should've known grandma Molly would want to have a conversation with me over dinner, and I couldn't help but let a soft whine escape from my lips as I went to take a mouthful of pie, and was stopped with a question.

"So Rose, how's the baby going?"

I dropped the pie back onto my plate and spoke, "Really great, not long to go now."

"Feels like just yesterday your mum was having you, oh how time flies, doesn't it Hermione?"

While my mum responded, I shovelled some food into my mouth greedily. Hugo stared at me like I was a monster, "Can you fit enough in there Rosie?"

"'M pregnant you 'osser! Let me eat!" I growled with my mouth full, silencing him, and everyone else, immediately.

"Well," grandma coughed to break the silence, "anyone else had any news lately?" James cleared his throat, signalling our attention. "Yes James?"

"So apparently my balls definitely work."

"Ew James," Lucy groaned.

Uncle Percy scoffed at James' comment, "How rude!"

"For goodness sake James, not over dinner," Ginny frowned at her eldest son.

Everyone was staring over at the dark-haired man, who had spoken so casually that his intentions were surely missed by most of the family. Taylah caught my eye, looking obviously disheartened by the anti-climax that had just occurred.

Harry seemed to be the first person, besides myself, who had clicked, "Wait, are you serious James?"

"James you tosser, that's not how we agreed to tell them!" Taylah shook her head, but was suddenly unable to hide her smile.

"Tell us what?" Louis asked.

Simultaneously, Ginny, mum, grandma Molly and Victoire all gasped, realising what was being suggested.

"We're pregnant!" Taylah announced properly and James pulled his wife into an embrace, looking prouder than ever.

The whole room instantly erupted with celebrations and conversations. Most were swarming to give the couple a hug, while the rest of us just hugged each other. There were suddenly a thousand excited words fluttering through the room. It was a complete contrast from when I had my pregnancy announced, but that was expected.

"Holy shit!" Al screamed, "another pregnancy?!"

"We're going to be grandparents!" Harry beamed at Ginny, who was on the verge of tears.

"Great-grandparents again Arthur, how wonderful?" Molly was already crying.

Lily squealed, "I'll be an aunty!"

Roxanne rolled her eyes, "Fuck, another emotional woman to avoid!"

Bill shook his head, "I'm starting to feel really old, you all need to stop doing this to me!"

"I'm a god, I know," James gloated.

"Oh please," Dom snorted, "Give your wife some damn credit!"

"Oh yeah, well, she's a goddess," James kissed Taylah on the forehead and everyone cheered for them again.

With the warm weather, we all piled outside in the backyard to celebrate under the stars. Mum and Ginny had located the champagne and gone to town, filling up everyone's glasses within seconds. Taylah and I were both stuck drinking water, while everyone else enjoyed their alcohol. I didn't really miss it though, getting drunk, I had more important things on my mind now. Gee I was growing more boring by the second.

Scorpius came over and clinked his glass with mine, "Well at least we're not the only ones going through this now."

"Mm," I smiled at him, watching the rest of my family talk animatedly together from afar, all excited with the new news.

Scorpius and I sat a fair distance away from the others, sitting on a chair in the garden. I watched as Scorpius ran his hands through his hair quickly and shook his head. "That's the kind of reaction I wish you got to experience, Rose."

I shrugged, smirking up at him, trying not to get to emotionally invested in the situation, "I think we were doomed for a bad reaction with our pregnancy regardless."

"Well our next pregnancy won't be such a scandal, I promise!"

"Easy there buddy, let's focus on this baby first okay?" I laughed, although my heart swelled at how far into the future Scorpius was planning. "I'm so happy for them though, they really deserved this moment."

"It's crazy, they seem so thrilled, yet we were shit scared."

"Yeah but we hadn't be trying for near a year like they have, we had no plan, we had a right to be scared."

Scorpius downed his glass of champagne and laughed, "Fuck having a plan, our life seems way more thrilling!"

"Hey Rose, hey Scorpius," Taylah called as she approached us.

I gave her a tight hug, "Congratulations Taylah, we're both so excited for you! How did James react when you told him?"

She took a seat next to us on the chair and smiled at her thoughts, "He cried actually, he was so emotional that he didn't know what else to do, but since then he has just been ecstatic."

"Bloody pansy," Scorpius muttered.

"Hey, you ran away when I told you!"

Taylah and I laughed loudly while Scorpius flushed red, fumbling to defend himself before he fell quiet. "I'm sorry about the big, happy announcement too, Rose. I know that probably hurt," she whispered courteously.

I shook my head, "No more than how it must've felt for you when I fell pregnant without even trying or wanting to. You deserved that happy moment, Taylah. You deserve this baby."

"I just can't believe it's finally happened, you know? I'm going to need your help, honestly, James and I will be hopeless!" she gushed, holding onto her flat stomach, while my own poked out what felt like metres in front of me.

"Don't worry, Scorpius and I will be the guinea pigs, you'll probably learn not to copy a single thing we do."

Taylah rejoined the family to continue celebrating, while I replaced the glass in Scorpius' hand with my hand. I signalled for him to help me up - a major effort in itself - and led him back into the house.

"Where are we going?" he quizzed.

"I want to show you upstairs," I pulled on his hand, as we kept walking.

I led him through the house and up the stairs into my bedroom. The door was still painted with pink roses from when I was six. I waddled through the door like a penguin and quickly found a seat on the bed to stop my feet from aching.

"This was my bedroom, still is I guess."

"The first and last time I was here we were telling your parents about the baby."

I smiled softly at the memory, "Oh yeah, getting screamed at by my father, what a lovely memory?"

I glanced around my childhood bedroom. Most of my stuff had moved out with me, but the basics were still there. The same bed and desk, and the same tacky posters of quidditch players I was obsessed with when I was young, it was all so juvenile but also so comforting. I leant over to my bedside table and opened the bottom drawer where I kept my old journals.

"You feel like a throwback to Hogwarts?" I asked as I tossed three hard-cover journals onto the bed.

Scorpius snatched one up quickly and began pouring through it, "My god I'm entering the mind of the teenage Weasley."

"Oh my gosh, listen to this," I giggled as I read an entry from my seventh year journal, "Dear diary, I caught up with Dom today for breakfast. She's got a new boyfriend again, although she doesn't call him a boyfriend, she says he is "a friend she can fuck a lot". I don't know how she can be so casual."

"Merlin, 6 years later and she hasn't changed," Scorpius stifled his laughter.

I continued, "We have a potions essay due in tomorrow, which I finished last week, but I saw Malfoy still scribbling his down in the library tonight. Hopefully its a sign that I'll once again top the class and put him in his place."

"Damn Weasley, bit savage on me back in the day weren't you? No wonder we never got to know each other, you were too busy writing shit about me!"

I giggled as I flicked through the pages, reminiscing over all the memories in the books that were flooding back to me.

"Wow," Scorpius whispered, "I got another mention!"

"Read it out!"

"It's from fifth year. Dear diary, Lily has been obsessing over Scorpius Malfoy lately, it's been impossible to listen to her babble. She only likes him because he has nice hair and a good body (not that I've even seen it) and pretty eyes. She's so blinded by his looks that she doesn't see what a menace he really is! I'm going to need the other cousins to back me up and stop her from making a mistake like pursuing that git."

I hid my face with my journal, completely shocked at the entry Scorpius has read. He pulled the journal away from my face and I was met with his "pretty eyes". "Looks like you ended up pursuing the git yourself. Is my body as good as you thought?"

I snatched the journal back and tried to hide my smirk. It definitely was, even better than I'd thought, actually. "I will never tell. Story time is over for you, you git!"

Scorpius laid down on the bed next to me, releasing a sigh. "There's so much about you that I wish I knew. I wish we were close at Hogwarts, so I had even more time with you."

"You have me now."

"Mm, I definitely do and I'm so lucky now."

I pulled my legs onto the bed, laid down and sighed. "You don't know how badly I wanted to bring a boy home to this room when I was younger," I laughed at my childish wishes.

"Why didn't you?"

I stared at him, bewildered, "Do you know who my parents are?"

"Fair enough," he laughed at me, "So am I the first boy in your room then?"

"Yeah, I guess you are. Besides relatives, that is."

"Interesting," he swallowed and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly Scorpius was edging closer to me on the bed, our arms wrapping together, "Just how gorgeous you are, and how much I want to snog you right now."

I instantly let our lips meet, crashing against each other like waves on sand. Scorpius' hands quickly became tangled in my hair, and our bodies began to mould together comfortably. I felt his tongue run across my bottom lip as I let it enter my mouth, fighting against my own. I groaned as his hands ran down my body slowly caressing my curves.

I scrambled on top of him, straddling him without our lips ever breaking apart. His hands came around to rest on my arse, gripping it tightly. I let them then reach around to my front - a difficult task, considering the size of my belly - as he began rubbing circles on the outside of my stockings.

My immature, teenage room was quite fitting for our actions, as we really were acting as eager and impatient as horny teenagers. Scorpius quickly undid his belt and began unzipping his pants while I wriggled out of my dress, leaving just my underwear on.

His hands found their way back to my underwear, where he found a nice rhythm that was already causing me to shake. I decided to reciprocate the action, and my hand trailed down into his boxers. We continued kissing with our movements, both of us already coated slightly in sweat. We hadn't been so physical in a while, after all.

"I love you Scorpius," I groaned into his ear.

Scorpius locked eyes with me, his own filled with passion and desire, "Rose, you're gorgeous."

There was something rather exciting about having Scorpius in that room. It was as though it were forbidden, my childhood room where I was absolutely never allowed to have boys enter was meant to stay that way permanently, and I had just broken the rules.

Unfortunately, being so caught up in the moment, both Scorpius and I had failed to hear the sound of the door handle twisting open, exposing us both to the person entering the room. Just my fucking luck.

"Rosie?"

At the sound of another person in the room and in a panicked frenzy, I tried to pull the blanket over my legs in an attempt to cover us up, but it was too late. The person lingered in the doorway, frozen with horror at the sight. I turned around to face the intruder and I had to use all my strength to even speak.

"Dad, get out!"

"I, um, Rose! Merlin's fucking eyeballs!" Ronald Weasley gawked at us both before he left the doorway clumsily, his face as red as a tomato.

If there was anything that could destroy the mood, it was your father catching you in the act. I collapsed next to Scorpius, who had covered his face with a pillow, as though it would disguise him from the world.

"Holy shit!" I gasped in shock.

"That was Ron. You dad, that was your dad."

"Merlin, I told you! This is why I never brought boys in here! The bloody room is cursed!" Scorpius lifted his head out from under the pillow, a smirk playing on his mouth, "Do you think this is funny?"

Scorpius couldn't hold it in any longer, and began shaking with laughter. I grabbed the pillow and gave him a thrashing with it, holding him down with my weight. "My dad just caught us having sex! This is not funny!"

"Rose, we're adults, we're having a kid together, you'd think he knows what we get up to!"

"We're adults, Scorpius, exactly! We shouldn't be getting all hot and bothered in my childhood room! How are we going to face him?"

"Well, we've got to go back down there at some point."

After we both tried to tidy ourselves up (most unsuccessfully) we crept downstairs to say our goodbyes to the family. My face was still bright red, much like I assumed my father's would have still been as we took the journey one slow step at a time. Part of me though the situation was hilarious, while most of me was absolutely horrified.

"Well, it looks like we'll be going," I muttered as we entered the room.

Everyone seemed to be behaving as normal, except for, of course, my dad. Ron sat straight in his recliner chair, his eyes wide and staring at the ground consistently. I swore I could see one of his eyes twitching as he did.

We said our goodbyes to everyone, I purposely left dad until last. As I approached him he finally lifted his eyes, sill wide with terror. I opened my arms out for a hug, which he was cautious to respond to. "Catch you later dad."

"My little girl," he choked out, "Is not as little as I thought."

"Dad,"I rolled my eyes, "I'm pregnant for Merlin's sake. You think this happened by taking a walk?"

"I wish, anything but what I just saw."

I released myself from his tight, protective hug, "And what you saw wasn't even half of the act necessary to get to the condition I'm in now. Consider yourself lucky, dad."

He cringed at the thoughts dancing in his head and I couldn't help but laugh away the awkwardness. Dad turned to Scorpius, giving him a curt nod, "Mister Malfoy, make sure my… daughter gets home safe, no… funny business, right?"

"No, never Ronald," Scorpius smiled like a smart ass, shaking dad's hand in the process.

"Well that was painful," Scorpius announced as we entered our home.

"Would've been fine if you didn't seduce me, you idiot! We got caught out like stupid teenagers snogging in a broom cupboard, only worse!"

"Ah well your dad had to come back to reality some day, right?"

I shook my head, still dazed, "Yeah, I just wish it wasn't while I was straddling you half-naked in that bed!"

We entered the bedroom together, both of us changing simultaneously into our pyjamas. I settled for my pink pig pyjamas, while Scorpius opted for blue boxers. As we both approached the bed, we stopped. I stared at Scorpius, who had one eyebrow raised suggestively at me.

"Well it's not your childhood bed, but it is your bed now, is that kinky enough for you?" he joked.

I said nothing, but the smirk on my face as I pulled him in for a kiss told him everything.

There you go, a bit of fun hahah. Now the baby is fast approaching, and therefore so is the end of this fanfic! So please, while you have the chance, please review! Thoughts, comments, suggestions, criticisms - I'll take anything!
