Chapter 6

(All characters Belong to J.K, ya'll know dat)

Lavenders Baby

            Lavender sat on the bathroom sink and stared at the ceiling, thinking of Ron, her love, her guardian angel, the only one that could and would protect her.  She started to cry, how can her life be so messed up? Her parents understood her love for Ron; she was allowed to stay at his house for vacation, but now? She couldn't tell Ron, and even if she did tell him she was pregnant and leave out Malfoy, how could she bare to see Ron's face knowing that it might not be his. She was Praying to God, for her baby to be Ron's. She did make love to Ron awhile after Malfoy raped her, he didn't realized she wasn't a virgin, all he realized was that he loved her. Lavender cried that night with Ron. He was asleep and did not know this.

"I didn't know I was pregnant until I went to Madam Pomfrey. She was extremely sad; she told me that she could give me a spell that would make me look normal when I start to show. She asked me who the father was and right away I said Ron." She started to cry again as she jumped on the sink and looked at her belly in the mirror.

"You have to tell Ron you're pregnant, or when you give birth, well, I don't know." I said feeling sad and surprised by all this.

"I promise I'll help you Lavender, just trust me, ok?" I said

"Oh, God bless you Hermione, thank you so much." Lavender said giving me a hug again; I could feel the roundness of her belly.

We returned to the Party and we danced with Harry and Ron, each switching partners at times.

When the party was over at midnight we retired to the common room. Lavender and I decided to tell Ron what was going on while the night was still young. Most people went to there dorms, and some people lingered in the corners, or by the cluster of homework tables.

Harry, Ron Lavender and I sat by the fireplace. Harry and Ron sat on the sofa, and Lavender and I sat on chairs in front of them.

I leaned forward and put my hands in Ron hands, he looked kindly at me.

"Ron, There is something Lavender would like to tell you. Now, it's very hard for her to tell you this. But please bear with her." I said taking Lavenders hand and putting it in Ron's, I got up to sit next to Harry.

"Ron…, I, I have to tell you something." Lavender whispered.

"Yes, you could tell me anything sweets." Ron said searching her eyes.

Lavender began to cry. "I'm pregnant, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier." She said between her sobs.

Ron looked at her, first in a horrified look, and then his face changed into happiness.

"We're having a baby? We're," He pointed to himself and then at her, "having a baby?" she nodded slowly. Ron broke into crazy man grin, jumped up and grabbed Lavender about the waist. He stopped abruptly and put his hand on her small belly, he laughed.

"I love you Lavender, and our baby…, and I'm gonna do what any real man would do, I'm gonna marry you Lavender, we're gonna be a family." Ron said in a whisper, he kissed Lavender softly on the lips. "A family." Lavender began to cry again.

"I love you too Ron."

Harry and I looked at each other and smiled. Harry wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

But I still felt troubled about what Lavender will have to face in the future…….
