Hey everyone. Here's chapter 11. It's kind of short. Yesterday, there was some trouble. First, chapter 10 didn't show up. So, I had to keep uploading and wound up with two. Now, everything is fixed and there's only one. *Sighs* Hope I never have to go through that again. Here's some reviews I wanted to talk about:

Sakura123, It's great you have your own opinion, but please state it in a civil way. Please don't review anymore.         

Rachel, That's cool that you wait until you've read most of the fic to review. You get the feeling of the overall fic. Good idea.

I'm sorry you're not enjoying the fic, but I'm glad you're learning from it and think it's well written. Yes, you're right. Partly, Ginny forgave him so she could move on. Also, she's really religious and believed in forgiveness. I'm glad you've never been abused, but when you are, like I was, at first you just wanna move on. Try to forget about it. Then, slowly, you recover. Recovering is the hardest part. I thank you for your sympathy towards me and what I've been through. You'd be surprised to hear how many people think people who are sexually abused deserve it. Thank you for saying I could be a role model. That really touches me because I do try to educate people on this, because I felt like I knew nothing when I was molested. Awe, don't worry about Ginny. All will be fine in the end. =) I'm glad you think she is a lovely character.

Chapter 10 is a long story. I wrote it and uploaded and put it in the story. Then, I went it and it said exactly what you said. So, I edited the story and took it out. Then, put uploaded it again and put it back. Still didn't work. So, I uploaded it again and put it as chapter 11 and 10 was not working. So, 11 was working as 10. Then, 10 started to work. I had doubles and took out chapter 11. So, now 10 is 10. Instead of 11 being 10.

Awe, thank you for saying that. No, it's not the end and I will keep writing. Yes, it was her belief in God that really made her forgive him. Besides, for the fact that she wanted to move on, too. Good point about the robes, but he didn't do it to be mean. He just assumed it was her favorite color. Ginny is dying because of the fever. The HIV is making the fear worse, though. When you have HIV or AIDs you die from colds, fevers, and ammonia (sp?) usually. No one really dies just of HIV or AIDs.

P. S. Don't worry. I am going to keep writing. Sometimes, in your life you just have to forgive people. You shouldn't keep hate in you. Sometimes, forgiving someone is the hardest part. I'm really glad you think my story is touching. I'm glad people are learning from this. That's why I wrote it. Some stories just have to be told and I think this is one of them. Thank you for your review I enjoyed reading it.

kneh13 , I know it's a long story, but I fixed it. Good suggestion about Dumbledore. He'd be the best person to protect the baby. I'll think about it. I'm still not sure about who is going to be godfather.

Andrea , Hey you. I'm very sorry I made you think Ginny was really dead. I thought it would be a good opening for the chapter. Sorry you cried, though. That's cool I got you all fluffed up now. hehe Yeah, the kitten was a sweetie pie. So, I thought Sugar would be the best name. hehe. Yes, Harry is very in love with Ginny and he is very romantic.

I'm glad you thought this chapter was well written. Thank you. It's so cool to be in double digits. hehe I know, it's a long story as of why I had two chapters of 10, but I fixed it. Awe, you're too cute. I love ya! hehe. Thanks for reviewing. I always enjoy reading your reviews.

Jubilee Black, hehe Yes, I know Harry was so cute

Monika, I'm sorry. I just thought that it would be a great opening for the chapter. hehe I'm glad you're happy I didn't kill her off.

I was thinking about your suggestion. It's really good. How long did you take you to think of it? Because it's really complex and good. If you don't mind, I will use it, because it would fit in to what I'm trying to do. Thanks for the really good idea. I'm shocked! LOL JK I always read the reviews and think about them. Your idea fits in with what I'm trying to do so I'll use it. It actually makes things easier for me to do. Cool, you're addicted to my story. hehe Thank you for saying I'm a good writer. Don't worry too much. Someone is going to die in the end, but it might not be Draco or Ginny. That's all I'm saying.

P.S. Thank you. They are so cute and so far they're all healthy. Yay! hehe Yes, Sugar is a cutie. I used to have a kitten like that, but that was a long time ago. I feel bad for him too and his unrequited love. I will update soon. Thanks for your review, Monika. I love reading your reviews. They're such pick me ups.

dani, Awe, thank you for saying my story is well written. I'm always glad when people think that, because I'm trying to educate people and get my message across. Yeah, it's hard to find people who understand. Someone people act like people deserve to be sexually abused and that is sick. People who think like that are just ignorant. That is exactly why I am doing this. To show people they can get through it, and most importantly, they didn't deserve it. Once again thanks for saying my fic was well written.

Don't get mad over flames. Flamers are ignorant. Not because they don't like the story, ever one is entitled to their own opinion, but just state it in a civil way. Thank you for sticking up for me and story, though. It really touches me when people see this is a personal story, and they get my message. I also, think a lot of people were brought of up not to talk about sex. So, when a story comes out about sexual abuse people feel ashamed or think it's dirty, when it's not. One person, me, can't change the world but I think I'm doing well. I mean, I just wanted one person to get my point, but a lot of people haven gotten it. So, I think I've done pretty well, don't you? I mean not everyone's going to agree.

Don't worry. There's still a lot more to this story and I'm going to keep writing. hehe You go and finish the story. I hope you enjoy the rest. Thanks for sticking up for me, but don't let the little firebugs bug ya! hehe Thanks for your review. It was very nice to read.

rosie wallis, Thank you for saying that. It always touches me people like my fic, because it means they get my point. You'll see see what happens with the baby. Thank you for saying I have talent. I think this story came out so well because I was just writing from my heart and trying to teach people with it. I wrote it for the right reasons. Thank you for leaving a review. It's nice to read.

Learning To Cope

Chapter 11

The months seemed to fly by. Three months had flown by. It was March. Spring was in full bloom. All around the grounds of the castle were covered with new flowers. Everyday before class, Harry and Ginny would walk around and look at the new flowers. Occasionally, Harry would pick a bunch for her. Spring wasn't the only full thing; Ginny was now six and a half months pregnant. Her stomach was getting round, but it was hidden under her robe. It was just causing her problems walking around, though.

Ever since Christmas, the gifts from Draco seemed to have doubled. It was as if he were trying to win her over. Ginny wondered why, though. She had already told him he could be the father. At first Ginny partly, regretted letting him be the father. Yes, she did forgive him, but he was far from the nicest person in the world. Then he started to open up to her, telling her of how he grew up. How he wouldn't raise their child like that, because he knew he was raised to be a bad person. What really touched her was when he sent her an old book of fairy tales his father used to read him. It was sweet he had put some much effort into finding to give it to the baby.

After their usual walk around the grounds, Harry and Ginny went inside the school for breakfast. They sat next to Ron and Hermione. "How are you feeling this morning?" Hermione asked her.

"I'm great. So is the baby," Ginny said.

"Have you given any thought to who you want to be godparents?" Ron asked. He had wanted to be the baby's godfather from the first day he had found out and continued to keep dropping Ginny hints.

"Yes, I've thought about it. I know who I want to be godmother," Ginny said.

Just as Ginny said that, Draco came walking over to her table and sat down next to her. All of the great hall was looking at him. Including all the teachers, except for Dumbledore.

A smart-alecky Slytherin called out, "Forget which table you sit at, Malfoy?"

This caused everyone to laugh, but Draco, Ginny, Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Draco just shouted back, "No, I just it happens to smell over there. Since you didn't smell it, maybe it's you!"
           

The boy shut up and Ginny said, "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to sit by you and the baby. Please," Draco said.

"Alright," Ginny said and smiled.

Draco held her hand tightly and said, "So, how have my two favorite people been today?"

Ron had been trying to be nice to Draco since Christmas. It wasn't going too bad considering Draco didn't start with him anymore. "Me and Hermione are doing great thanks. How about you?" he joked.

Draco laughed and shoot back, "Fine, but all kidding aside, Ginny how are you and the baby doing?"

"Great, Draco. Just great. I think she loves the spring. She's been kicking a lot lately. So I think she likes the warm weather better than the cold," Ginny said.

Draco rubbed her hand and said, "I hope he likes the warm weather. Just three more months. He's going to be born in late June or early July."

"Oh, that's right. A summer baby. I wished my birthday was in the summer. I hope she's born in June, and the baby is going to be a girl," Ginny said.

"A boy! Why June?" Draco aksed.

"I want to see the baby already. Prove to you it's a girl," Ginny said.

"It's going to be a boy," Draco said.

            "

What do you guys think?" Ginny asked her friends.

Ron said, "Girl! Now, can I be godfather?"

Draco looked at Ron said, "You have my vote for godfather, even though it's going to be a boy."

"Well, most Malfoys are men. Especially the first borns," Ron said thinking about it.

"Ron, stop sucking up to him. I still decide," Ginny teased.

"Ok, girl then. Definitely girl!" Ron joked.

Harry looked at Ginny and said, "That reminds me you where about to say who the godmother was before Draco came."

"I came at the perfect time, then," Draco said.

Ginny smiled at him. The truth was she didn't want say it in front of Draco. She was afraid he'd hate her choice. "I want Hermione to be the godmother," she said.

"Really?" Hermione asked shocked.

"Yes, I want you to be godmother," Ginny said.

"Oh, thank you, Ginny." Hermione said smiling.

"What do you think Draco?" Ginny asked afraid he'd hate it because she was a muggle born.

"Good choice," Draco said honestly.

"You don't care she's a muggle born?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"I was raised to be like that and it does a bit, but I want my child to be raised differently," Draco said.

Hermione looked at him and said, "Well, you are getting better at it. You haven't said anything bad to me in like three months."

"I know you're not a bad person. I guess I never really knew that, though because I was too busy judging you because of your background," Draco said.

"That's a really good way to look at things," Ginny said and smiled.

"Yes, and the sad thing is I didn't realize it until now," Draco said.

"Oh, don't be like that. It's never to late to learn something and right your wrongs," Ginny said.

"You're right," Draco said and smiled.

Ginny didn't know why, but some reason her heart started to race as he smiled at her. It was if she had romantic feelings for him. She couldn't have, though. She was in love with Harry, right?

Ginny took Draco's hand and put it on her stomach. "Did you feel that?" she asked.

Draco kept his hand there. He felt the faint kicking of the baby. "Yes, the baby kicked," he said softly.

"Yeah, she's been kicking a lot lately," Ginny said.

"It's a boy. He's really active. Maybe he'll be a Qudditch player like his old man," Draco said and smiled.

"It's a girl, and maybe she can be a Qudditch player," Ginny said smirking.

Harry looked at her and said, "I think it's a girl, but either way I can teach it to play Qudditch."

"Harry, if you taught my child Qudditch, they probably would go pro," Ginny said. It was a widely know fact Harry was the best Qudditch player in the school.

Draco couldn't help but feel jealous Ginny had thought Harry was a better Qudditch player than him. Even though Harry was a better Qudditch player than him.

The bell ending breakfast rang. Ginny was having a bit of difficult getting up and Draco helped her. She could help but shudder at his touch."Why I am I acting like this?" she thought.

He took her hand and said, "What class are you going to?"

"Potions," Ginny said.

"Let me walk you there," Draco said.

"Ok," Ginny said squeezing his hand.

After all of her classes, Ginny sat in her room with some parchment and her quill. She tapped the quill on the parchment furiously as she tried to think of what to say in her letter to her parents. She thought it was time to tell them of everything. A part of her wished she hadn't waited so long, though.

Inspiration struck her and she began to write:

Dear Mom and Dad,

            It's been awhile since I've written to you. There's something I have to tell you, but I have been afraid to. I really love and respect you both which makes it harder to tell you what I have to you. Six months ago, some stuff happened and I got pregnant.

Ginny didn't want to tell her parents she was raped. She knew they would make a big deal about it and she didn't want them to. She continued writing her letter:

I know I am young and it is really stupid I'm pregnant. Please don't shun me or kick me out. I need your love and acceptance. I'm sure you'll just love the baby. I love it. That's why I didn't give it up. Once again, I'm sorry about what happened.

Hoping To Be Forgave, Ginny

           

"Flake," Ginny called and her snowy owl came flying into the room. Ginny patted her head and said, "Can you take a letter for me?"

Flake hoot loudly as if to say, "Sure I can!"

Ginny tied the letter to her leg and said, "Give this to my mom and dad."

As soon as Flake flew out of the window, Ginny lied back in her bed and thought, "Either my parents are going to kill me, or they're going to kick me out."

It had been three days since Flake had left with the letter. Each day that went by without a reply made Ginny get more nervous. Two more days passed before Ginny got a reply. Throughout the five days, Harry, Draco, Ron and Hermione tried their best to comfort her, but nothing worked.

When Flake entered her room with the letter, her heart jumped. Ginny took the letter from her owl and gave her a glass of water. In a minute the water was gone. Slowly, Ginny opened the letter. She pulled it out and read it:

Dear Ginny,

                        We don't know exactly what to say to you. We are very disappointed that you went and got yourself pregnant. We didn't raise you like that. Although, we're proud you're handling things so well. We are sure will take good care of the baby, even though we feel you should have waited to have one. Babies are a blessing and we will our new grandchild when it comes. Don't worry dear. You will always have our love and your support. We'd never stop loving you or kick you out just because you got pregnant.

Love,

Mom and Dad

Ginny could believe what the letter had said. She was so relieved. She thought they surely would have kicked her out. The again, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were not like that with their children.
