Ginny stood in front of the mirror. She was a full month pregnant today. The wedding was in two weeks. Oh god... Why? Why was she pregnant? She was so scared about giving birth! It was going to hurt. It was going to kick ass hurt so bad! She'd rather get into a fight with Pansy again, like she had in her 6th year. Her hair covered the scar on her shoulder now, but she still remembered it. And she'd rather be back there than having to give birth!

Draco walked into the bedroom and smiled to see her looking at her protruding belly. "You look fine Potelé." She turned around and lay her forehead against his chest. That nickname always made her smile, but at the moment, she wanted to be upset! She looked up at him. "I'm scared Draco. I'm scared that it's going to hurt. I'm scared that I'll cry. I'm scared that I'll never be able to walk again Draco!" That made him laugh. "You'll walk just fine my Potelé. You'll be fine."

He scooped her up into his arms. "There's nothing in this world that could hurt you when I'm here. You don't have to worry anymore." A sudden rush of warmth traced her entire body, then came back up to give her a kiss on the lips. She hadn't felt this kind of warmth before in her entire life. Not with John or Mark or Devin or Greg...

He wanted to keep her safe. He wanted to love her... And if not, he was an amazing actor. But that could just be it. She told him to make it believable... She just cried. She started crying in his arms and couldn't stop. He sat on her bed and lifted her into his lap. "Shhh... Please don't cry my Potelé..." She clutched his chest and allowed herself to cry. "Don't let me go Draco... Just don't let me go."

And he didn't. All night long...
