Chapter two

Hermione gasped. Are you sure, doctor?
I'm afraid so, Miss. Granger. The doctor said solemnly. Now, as you aren't married, you have several options. You do know your baby's father right?
Ron,' she thought immediately.
Yes, i do, sir. But he and i aren't speaking. Hermione said, quietly. I'm not sure i want to tell him. But i will keep this baby. I'm not the type to get an abortion.
All right, then. said the doctor. I will need you to come in once a month for check-ups, just to make sure the baby is healthy.
Of course, doctor. Hermione left the office.
Now what do i do?' she thought. I've never been pregnant before. And this is Ron's child. How do i tell......no. No, i won't tell him.'

One year later.......................


Hermione stood at the door to The Burrow, her 4 and 1/2-month-old baby boy in her arms. She had never felt so nervous in her entire life. What if Ron answered the door? What would she say? What would he say?
She shook her head, and knocked.
A red-headed woman with dark green eyes answered the door. Ginny,' Hermione thought. She had missed Ginny so much.
Hello, Ginny. Hermione said. The woman started. Her eyes widened with realization.
she inquired. Hermione nodded. Ginny squealed and pulled Hermione into a hug. Hermione hugged back with one arm. Ginny pulled back and looked at the baby in her arms.
she asked. Hermione smiled sadly and nodded. He isn't here, you know. she said, voicing the answer to Hermione's next question. He and Harry are on some mission. Wouldn't tell me a thing about it. I miss them so much.......Anyway, what's the his name? She pointed to the baby.
I-I-I named him after Ron. Hermione stuttered. He looks just like him.
That he does. Come in, come in. Mum will be so happy to see you. We've all been worried sick!
Mrs. Weasely was indeed happy to see Hermione. She fussed over Hermione, giving her food and saying how much she had been missed. She fussed over Ron Jr. even more, cooing at him and commenting on how much like Ron he really was.
Hermione dear, I have a rather personal question for you. Molly said. Hermione nodded to urge her to go on. Do you still love Ron?
Tears came to Hermione's eyes as she thought about it. She nodded. More then anything. But what's the point? He and i ended on such bad terms, and-
He still loves you. Molly interrupted. When Charlie told him what was going on, he and Harry apparated to your flat the next day, but you had gone. He still carries the parchment with the Cannons autographs with him. He cried himself to sleep every night for a month after you left.
Hermione sat frozen as she listened to Molly talk. Ron still loved her? How could that be possible?
Hermione, you can sleep in Ron's old room until we can get you a more permanent room to sleep in. I'll go get the old baby crib from the attic for your son. Molly walked away and up the stairs, leaving Ginny and Hermione alone.

Ginny, what will happen once Ron comes back? I don't know what's going to happen, and i'm scared to face him. How will he react to the fact that he has a son? Tears started to flow down her cheeks. Ginny embraced her.
He'll be delighted and relieved that you're back. he's missed you so much. Just then, the phone rang(a/n: The Weasely's got a phone). Molly came back into the room and picked it up.
Hello? Yes, this is Molly Weasely........What?! When?! Are they okay? Of course i'll come! Molly hung up the phone and turned to the girls. Ron and Harry. They've been in a terrible accident. I need to go and make sure they're okay. You two should stay. She added when Hermione stood abruptly. She disapparated.
Hermione lay in bed that night, wide awake. What if something had happened to Ron? What if he didn't make it? These and other such questions buzzed around in her head until she finally fell asleep around 3:00am.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron and Harry were released from St. Mungo's a week later. Ron still didn't know Hermione had come back. Harry did, but Ginny had made Harry promise not to tell Ron. Let him find out for himself.
They arrived at the Burrow around supper that night. Somehow Ron and Hermione didn't see one another for about two hours. When they did was incredibly awkward.
Ron had been heading up to his room for a nap when Hermione came out of it, Ron Jr. in her arms, fast asleep. They stood, staring at each other for several minutes. Ron finally broke the nasty silence.
he said, quietly.
she said back.
Er....how have you been? Ron said. He glanced at the baby in her arms, but said nothing about it. Just then, Ginny came up the stairs, followed by Harry.
Hermione, it's time for dessert. Hermione nodded at Ginny and went down the stairs to the kitchen. So, Ron......I take it you've....met your son.
Ron's mouth dropped open. My-m-my son? Ron nearly fainted.
Yes. Hermione named him after you. He is, after all, yours. said Ginny. Go talk to her. If you've really missed her as much as you say.
I can't talk to her. I'll write her a note. Tell her to meet me later. Ron walked away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Hermione,
I guess we have a lot to catch up on. Can you meet me later? Around 11:00? I really need to talk to you.
Ron
