Forbidden, Forever: part 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One Month later.........

Ginny had recovered well and a month later was called back into Dumbledore's office. She and
Severus had discussed it. She would keep the baby. By the time she had it, it would almost be
the end of the year and after school had finished, Ginny would anounce who the father was and
go to live with Severus. She stood in the office waiting for someone to say something. The
hardest thing she'd had to do was tell her family.

~~~~~ Flashback~~~~~~~~

"Oh, Ginny! How could you! You've disgraced the family's name. I'm disgusted with you! Go,
don't enter this house again. You will not be hearing from me or your father again. You are no
longer a part of this family."
"But I'm your daughter!"
"You are no daughter of mine!" With that her mother had broken down and had sat weeping,
as Ginny ran out of the house. What was even worse was that her brothers were no longer
permitted to speak to her and they dared not defy her Mother because they depended on her
for their financial support. Ginny had run out of the house and flown off back to Hogwarts
weeping because the one person of who's support she was sure (apart from Severus) had
disowned her and she was alone with no family to turn to.

~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~

Proffessor McGonagall was sitting to one side of Dumbledore, and Severus was standing
looking out of the window.
"Ginny, please take a seat." Ginny sat down and looked at Dumbledore. "We need to know the
name of the father of your child. Without it we cannot help you, even if we wanted to."
"Why not Proffessor?" Severus interupted.
"It is a basic rule of magic. Do not destroy something unless you know everything it is possible
to about it."
Ginny jumped up.
"Destroy!? Proffessor Dumbledore, I want this baby and I will not disclose the identity of the
father until after it is born. If you will excuse me," she moved towards the door, "I have lessons
to attend."
"Ginny, please sit down. I apologise, I did not mean to upset you. Besides, it is Saturday, you
have no lessons. I just took it for granted you would not want this child."
"Why? I am 2 months pregnant. My baby has fingers and toes and looks like a human being.
How could you think I'd kill it."
"I'm sorry. If your mind is made up I cannot make you change it. You may go. Please be careful
and don't put yourself under too much stress. I have arranged a separate room for you to live in.
Severus, could you show Ginny her room." Severus and Ginny stood up and walked out amid
puzzled looks from Proffessor McGonagall.
Snape took Ginny down into the dungeons. They stopped outside his room.
"Don't worry, I think Dumbledore knows about us. You are sleeping in my room, that is, if you
want to."
"Of course I want to. Oh, Severus. My parents have disowned me, my brothers won't speak to
me and every single person in the castle is talking about me." She began to cry,"I don't know
what to do."
She leaned against his chest and he opened the door. He closed it behind them and leant
against it, holding Ginny.
"Hush, it'll be alright. You've still got me, Hermione still wants to talk to you, Dumbledore
understands. Everything'll be fine."

Seven months later..........

It was the last day of June and Ginny had been sitting on the bed, reading when suddenly.....
"Severus!" Ginny gasped.
"What is it?"
"I think my waters just broke."
"Oh God. Wait here, I'll get Madame Pomfrey." He ran out of the room and Ginny lay down,
trying not to panic.
