Hey everyone. Sorry it took me so long to post this chapter. I don't know if this happened to anyone else, but ff.net was not working for me. Oh, well here is the new chapter, but first here are some reviews I want to talk about:
Andrea, Hey girl. Just one more chapter till the baby comes. hehe I'm glad you liked this chapter. Why does everyone want Harry to die? *Wonders what he did to everyone* LOL
P.S. It's ok. Thanks for your review.
Monika, I am not replying to your review. Because you bothered me online! J/K LOL
I enjoyed talking to you and will answer your review.
I know, ff.net does suck sometimes. I've been trying to post this since Friday and every time before this, for two days straight, it would say server is broken and top reload the page. Which never worked! That's why this chapter is so late.
I know, this chapter was a little sad. Harry's a guy. Guys always say stupid things. LOL Yeah, he didn't mean to hurt her. He just blurted it out, because he is jealous. You'll see in this chapter. It's funny that you mention that, because a lot of people don't think before they speak. LOL
Well, you won't have to wait much longer, because the birth happens next chapter. Yay! LOL You'll see next chapter what it is. Twins sound so cute, but I think Ginny would die. LOL Thanks for all the ideas you give me about the baby and Uncle Sevvy! LOL *Snape looks at me scared* LOL
I don't really like the Malfoys, either. I just like Draco. Lucius is crazy. So, he probably does want to take the baby way. I like your idea, but it won't work, because Draco still get his trust when he turns 18. Narcissa is kind of paying him off to stay away. Also, Ginny, nor Dumbledore, never told authorities what Draco did. So it's not on record. It was a really good idea. You've really been thinking about this story, haven't you? I will not throw it away in the garbage. *Hangs up it on the wall* hehe
Yup, you told me this before. You think Harry is going to die. He may die, but he may not. Remember, I told you Dumbledore is really old. hehe You will have to wait. Sorry. =(
Thannk you for your long review my hooked fan. Let's her off before she cuts herself. LOL
P.S. You're welcome. Hey, I'm the only one that control him and will. If he keeps misbehaving, just me and I'll pair him up with his youngest fan! LOL Why Ron and Dumbledore? Redheads are hot hehe and Dumbledore is the only person who likes him! LOL Buckbeak? That is freaky! And people flame my work... LOL
P.S.S (That sure is a lot of Ss. Are you a parestongue(sp?) ? LOL) I will read it soon. I read some of it and you told me about the rest. Thank you. Hehe
Jubilee Black, Hmmm... I think he deserved it, too. Good job! LOL Thanks for the review.
Learning To Cope
Chapter 13
Ginny woke up in the middle of the night. It the third time that week she done that. There was only four days left until the baby was due, and Ginny was on edge. Draco noticed the shifting of weight on the bed and said, "You up, again, Ginny?"
"Sorry. I invite you here and then I don't let you sleep," Ginny said and started crying. She wasn't a basket case; she was just having mood swings from being pregnant.
Draco sat up and hugged her gently. "Don't cry, honey. It's ok."
"Are you sure? I didn't mean to wake you up," Ginny said.
"Ginny, just laid down, ok?" Draco asked.
"Alright," she said and laid down.
Draco cuddled to her and kissed her cheek. His hands were rubbing her full stomach. Ginny laid her head on his shoulder and said, "I'm nervous, but you seem to make everything better. I love you. You're my bestfriend."
"I love you, too Ginny," Draco said and gently caressed her face with one hand. He knew she only loved him as a friend.
He felt her arms wrap around him. She laid her head and his chest and fell asleep. Gently, he stroked her back and said, "Sleep well Ginny," before falling asleep himself.
In the morning Ginny wake up to no one next to her. She wondered where Draco had gone. She was having a bit of trouble getting out of bed. She just sat up in bed and rubbed her big tummy. "You're causing me so much trouble," she said to the baby
"I am?" Draco said who had just came in with a tray full of breakfast.
Ginny laughed and said, "I was talking to the baby."
Draco sat down next to her and put the tray infront of us. "I was able to con your mom into letting us have breakfast in bed."
"Great! I can't get out of bed," Ginny said.
"You know I'll help you," Draco said.
Ginny picked up a piece of toast and said, "I know."
"Where's your ring?" Draco asked noticing it wasn't on her hand anymore.
"I took it off as soon as I got home. I don't want anything to do with Harry anymore. He can be a real git," Ginny said and took a bite of toast.
Draco's heart jumped at that moment. He didn't want Ginny to be with Harry. He wanted her to be with him, but he knew deep in his heart that she was in love with Harry. "You know you're in love with him," Draco said picking up a slice of bacon.
"Not anymore. I'm in love with someone else," she said and took another bite of her toast.
"Oh? Who are you in love with?" Draco asked and ate the strip of bacon.
"With you," Ginny said looking into his eyes.
Draco looked down and said, "No, you're not. You just think you are, because you're mad at Harry and you know I love you. You're not in love with me."
"How do you know I'm not?" Ginny asked.
"You just aren't. I know it. You love Harry. Yeah, you do love me, but just as a friend. So, put the ring he gave you back on, ok?" Draco said.
Ginny hugged him tightly and said, "I don't know what I'd do without you."
He hugged her tightly and said, "I'll always be there for you."
Ginny sighed softly. She knew Draco was probably right, but she couldn't help but have a love for Draco. It felt like more than friendship, but she wasn't sure if she loved him more than Harry. Could it be possible for your rapist to be the love of your life?
The summer so far had been horrible for Harry. Usually that wouldn't be a big deal because the Dursley's tried to ruin all of his summer, but this one was different. Right before summer had started, Harry had lost the love of his life.
Harry laid in he bed looking up at his ceiling. It seemed as if his life were over. Ginny was mad at him, and his aunt and uncle wouldn't let him visit her. It had been almost four weeks since he had heard from her. The baby would be around any day now.
He wondered if Ginny was still mad at him. She hadn't owled him. He wondered if she'd ever want to talk to him again, or let him back into her life and be the baby's daddy.
A scowl came to his face. Harry thought of Ginny and Draco together. The thought made him sick. Ginny was his. He loved her. He would never hurt her on purpose.
She had never been like that to him before. Ginny had always adored Harry. She had always loved him dearly. At times, he'd even pretend he didn't like Ginny's feeling so his bestfriend, Ron, would not get suspicious. Now, he wished she would fawn all over him again. He couldn't believe she really didn't want to talk him.
Ofcourse, he really couldn't blame her. What he had said to her was very insensitive. He didn't mean it, though. The only reason Harry had said it was because he was jealous of the way Ginny and Draco were acting. He felt so left out and unloved. Harry regretted it now. It was stupid and he knew he didn't deserve Ginny to forgive him, but that didn't stop him from wanting her to forgive him.
Even though he knew it was useless, Harry decided to tell Ginny of his feelings. He grabbed a piece of paper and wrote:
Dear Ginny
I know you don't want to talk to me, and I really can't say I blame you. If I were in your position, I wouldn't want tome either. I think you should hear me out, though. Please. I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you dearly. The only reason I said what I was because I was
Harry stopped what he was writing. He felted embarrassed to write the next part. To admit to Ginny that he was jealous of the man that raped her. That he was so selfish he didn't care about the baby. He didn't care that its parents were getting along. He didn't care how Ginny was getting through he raped. At the time, he was only thinking of himself. Harry felt so ashamed of himself.
jealous. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I was jealous of the way you and Draco were getting along. I just felt like you had forgotten about me or something. I felt like you liked him more then me. I didn't mean what I said. It just made me mad he hurt you and you were talking to him and not me. What I said was stupid, but I didn't mean it. I just blurted it out. I didn't mean it and I swear I would never say something like that again to you.
I beg you to forgive me, Ginny. I love you so much and I never meant to hurt you. I know I don't deserve you, but I love you more than anything. I love you more than life. I'd give my life for you or the baby. I want to be in your life and the baby's. I want to be your husband and the baby's daddy. Please forgive me. Let's put this behind us. I love you so much. My life has been miserable without you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Please forgive me.
Lovingly Yours,
HarryHarry sighed and put down the pen he was writing with. He left his owl out of her cage. "Take this to Burrow. Give it to Ginny," Harry said and handed her the letter.
Hedwig took it in her foot and let out a hoot. As she flew out the window, Harry gave a sigh. He hoped after reading his letter Ginny would forgive him.
Three days later, Ginny received the letter. As she read it, she cried. She couldn't believe she had treated Harry so badly. Harry was so sweet and loving. She had been wrong. Every time she was around Draco, she had ignored Harry she realized as she looked back. It was like she did it on purpose, though. It just seemed as if every time she was around Draco she got swept up in him, but not anymore. Ginny made a vow to never ignore Harry again.
Ginny opened up her dresser draw. She pulled out her ring and put it on her left ring finger. She also took out a piece of parchment and a quill. Ginny gather her thoughts. Just as she was about to write her first word in her letter to Harry, she left a sharp pain in her stomach.
She let out a scream and Draco came running into her room. "Are you ok?" he asked Ginny nervously.
"I think it's time!" Ginny cried.
