I opened my mouth to respond just as the door opened and Al and Scorpius entered.

Of course he had to come in right now. This was going to be bad. Really bad.

"Whats going on?" Al asked slowly, eyeing an angry James and me on the verge of tears.

"Why don't you tell him Rose?" James said sharply, continuing his pacing. Al turned to me. I shook my head, the tears falling. "Tell him Rose. Or I will" James threatened.

"James please" I begged throughout my tears. "I don't want to ruin Christmas"

"Shit what did you do?" Al cursed. Scorpius was being very quite. He was staring at his feet awkwardly.

"I'm telling him Rose" James said finally. I shook my head firmly once again but I knew it was no use. James was spilling the beans wether I wanted him too or not. "Rose is pregnant!" James practically shouted.

"Your kidding! You've got to be! This has to be some joke!" Al cried.

"Does it look like a fucking joke?!" I cried.

"Who's the father?" Al asked.

"She hasn't told me yet" James told him. Both Potter boys turned to me at the same time. It was quite scary. "Come on Rose. Your pregnant. How much worse can it actually be?! As long as it's not a relative!" James cried indignantly.

I wiped my eyes on my sleeve and looked past James and Al, straight at Scorpius. He met my eyes and they were full of fear. Scorpius' mouth fell open.

"Rose why are you looking at Scorpius?" Al asked cautiously. No one said anything until Al spoke again. "Rose?" Al's voice was becoming harder, he was getting angry.

"Your fucking kidding me!" Scorpius shouted suddenly, he tuned and stormed from the room.

"No! No way!" Al shouted too. "What the fuck!" I broke down crying. Nothing had gone the way I wanted it too. I wanted to keep this a secret a little longer and I wanted to tell Scorpius properly. I owed him that.

"When the fuck did that happen?" James shouted.

"Your fucking party!" I cried. "Thanks a lot for that by the way!"

"Don't you blame me! You should know not to jump into bed with a Malfoy! Or anyone for the matter! And use protection! Your the sensible one!" James rambled on. Al said nothing. I think he was in shock. I half expected him to storm after Scorpius but hey, there was still time.

"Thanks for the lecture James but I could really do without that from you!" I shouted. I fled the room with tears falling down my face. So as to avoid everyone, I left through the back door and into the garden. Or course, Scorpius was out here as well.

When he saw me, Scorpius pushed past me back into the house.

Oh dear.

So not only was my life fucked. Scorpius's was too.

I forced myself to stop thinking negatively. That wasn't going to help the situation. The best thing to do right now was to go back inside, pretend everything was normal and spend Christmas with my family. James and Al would have to not make a fuss though for this plan to work and the chances of that were slim.

Taking a deep breath, I pulled myself together and went back inside. The warmth of the Burrow was comforting compared to the nippy temperatures outside. James and Al were coming down the stairs.

"Please, just keep this to yourselves!" I pleaded in a hushed voice. James nodded mutely and pulled me into a hug. I relaxed into his body.

"It'll be ok, I'm sorry for freaking out" He whispered.

"Thank you" I breathed. Al was standing next to us with his arms crossed. "Al?"

"I don't know Rose! This is all a lot to take in!" Al cried but opened his arms for a hug anyway. "We should go back in, people will get suspicious" He sighed.

I nodded and followed James into the living room. We weren't surprised to find that Scorpius wasn't here but I don't know where he was as he couldn't have gone upstairs without being noticed.

At dinner that night Scorpius still hadn't made an appearance. "Nana, do you know where Scorpius is?" I asked her as I helped set the table.

"He went home a few hours ago Rose, said he wasn't feeling too good. He didn't mention it?" Nana said, looking sympathetic. I had a feeling she wouldn't feel the same when she found out the person in question had impregnated her granddaughter.

"No, he didn't" I sighed. "I'll owl him later"

Everyone sat down to eat and you could almost feel the tension between Al, James and I. No one else seemed to notice though and Christmas Eve dinner went smoothly.

That night I found myself awake long after everyone was asleep. There were too many thoughts rushing through my mind. I was pissed at Scorpius for running off. I suppose I couldn't really blame him, I should've told him first.

For some stupid reason, I decided it would be a great idea for l write a late night, hormone filled letter to him.

Scorpius,

What the fuck?! Why did you have to run off? I get this is a lot to take in but you didn't have to be sick a dick about it! How do you think I feel? I can't just abandon the situation! I'm stuck here! We need to talk about this! Or you know what?! You can fuck off! I don't need you! Fuck James and his stupid party.

Rose.

I crept downstairs to find Nana' owl perched on its stand in the hall. I gave it the letter and pushed it out the window. With any luck it would wake Scorpius up.
