All or nothing


Chapter 2


"What do you mean, pregnant?" Ron asked.

"I'm having a baby, Ron." She stroked her stomach gently, and looked at Ron. "I'm going to be a mother!" Suddenly, everything clicked into place. The mother and baby magazine lying around, the weird food combinations she had been eating. It even explained why her flat was so messy.

"How many months has it been?" he asked nervously.

"Three months. It's due on 2nd August."

"So you were…. Pregnant when we were going out?" Hermione nodded her head.

"Does that mean it's his?"

"I don't know. It could be either of you."

"How could it be me? I mean we only…. It was my first time. And we only did it once. I used protection." Ron shook his head in disbelief.

"No. The condom broke, remember. We didn't have time to get a new one. And it doesn't matter if it was your first time or not. You could still be the father." Hermione looked at Ron pleadingly.

"Have you told Victor?" Ron asked, changing the subject. Hermione nodded her head again in answer. "Well? What did he say?"

"He said he wants nothing to do with me, or the baby." Ron was shocked.

"But what if it's his? Doesn't he want to be a father?"

"He says it might interfere with his career. He doesn't want anything to do with it. He suggested that I have an abortion." Tears started to form in her eyes.

"But he can't do that. What if it's my baby? Anyway, it's your choice."

"I know that, and I tried to tell him, but then he…." The tears began to flow silently.

"But then he what? What did he do, Herm?" Ron asked as he pulled her, sobbing, towards him. She pulled up her top, to reveal a large purple bruise, right next to a small bump.

"He didn't hit you? Oh Herm," Ron's face turned from concern for Hermione, to anger at Victor. "Oh I'll get him for you. I will."

"No, Ron. It's alright. I sent him a few hexes. Irreversible ones. They should be wearing off in a few days. I guess that will interfere with his career a bit, won't it?" She smiled at him through her tears.

"You weren't the smartest witch in the school for nothing, were you?" Ron smiled back as she giggled gently. He placed his hand on her stomach, and rubbed the bump gently. "Listen, I can't leave you to do this by yourself. I don't care whether it's mine or not. I want to bring up the baby with you."

"But Ron, what if it's his?" Hermione wiped away some tears from her eyes.

"I don't care. I'm not going to abandon you when you need me the most. That baby needs both a mother and a father, and that's what it's going to get."

"Oh Ron, I love you!" Hermione flung her arms round him and sobbed freely on his shoulder. Ron wrapped his arms around her, and held her close.

"I love you too, Hermi."

"Marry me." Ron said, kneeling down in front of her.

"Yes!" She squealed, "Oh Ron, I will marry you." He opened up the case to reveal a small silver ring, with a delicate amethyst in it. Hermione gasped.

"But that ring was my mum's engagement ring. How did you get it?"

"She gave it to me at graduation. Somehow she knew I would be doing this. Anyway she wanted to make sure that it stayed in the family." Ron slid it on to his fiancee's finger.

"It was my favourite ring of hers." Hermione fingered it gently. "I wish she was here."

"Me too. She was always kind to me." Ron wrapped his arm around her, and pulled her down on to the sofa. He rested his hands on the bump and kissed Hermione gently. "She would have loved to see the baby."

"Mmm, have you told your mum yet?" Hermione asked

"About what? The marriage or the baby?"

"Both."

"I was planning on waiting until you had said yes to marrying me, before telling her about either. Call me chicken, but how do you tell your mother that? Especially my mother!" Ron grinned at Hermione and shrugged his shoulders.

"And what if I had said no?"

"Then I would be in big trouble!" Before Hermione could reply to that, Ron gave her another kiss that left her breathless. Their lips parted, and she gave him a sweet smile.

"I love it when you do that." She said before he kissed her again.

Okay. Two more parts. Should be up soon. Will the wedding be alright? Who is the father of the baby? Will Ron manage to tell Molly Weasley? All will be revealed soon. This did start off based on what happened to a friend but it sorta took off on it's own. Write any ideas in the review. Flames are welcome, as winter is just around the corner.
