She sat on the ground in the graveyard, by his grave. The song they'd played at his funeral floated into her mind, and she put one hand on her swollen stomach, while she half whispered, half sang the words.
In the silence of a sleepless night,
Don't be afraid.Her deceased friend Dayne's voice floated into her mind.
Sweetie, he's gone. Both of them.
Step through your darkest hour,
Be strong; be brave.
A tear slid down her cheek
Honey, you have to be brave for the baby, don't cry. Otherwise, the baby you bring into this world will be sad too.
Somewhere in time,
There's always goodbye.
Gin, I have to go. His eyes; pleading for her to understand. Please, you know that, right? Defeated, she nodded.
"Promise you'll come back?" She whispered out loud. She closed her eyes, and almost felt his lips, kissing her forehead.
Of course.
Let's lay this ghost to rest,
You must let go.
It's been three months, Gin. He's not coming back.
"He has to, he promised." She mumbled.
Let's lay this ghost to rest,
And let the feelings show.
What are you going to name it, if it's a girl? Dayne asked, the night before her fatal accident.
Her fingers idly traced the headstone of her love's grave.
"Jade." She whispered.
And if it's a boy?
Somewhere; I will love,
I will love you.
I will come back; I have to. His eyes searched hers again. I love you, Gin. Her own eyes closed, and she choked out a response.
"I love you too."
Let's lay this ghost to rest.
"Harry, I'll name him Harry." She muttered. She fell asleep, fingers still resting on the headstone.

~OMG, I can't believe I was so depressed. Oh well, I feel better now.
Disclaimer: JKR owns Harry Potter, and so do all her affiliates, I don't know if anyone owns Let's Lay This Ghost To Rest. This is gonna sound terrible cliché, but it came to me in a dream.
