Stella paused briefly to look over at the resting, unconscious body
of Ron Weasley and smiled. If he wanted to continue being in the
relationship, he would make such a wonderful dad, but Stella was jerked out
of her thoughts and lightly slapped him on the cheek and called his name.
"Ron, Ron can you hear me?" Stella quickly jumped up after getting no reply from him and ran to her closet and pulled out her emergency kit and took out the smelling salts and put them under his nose. Ron immediately jerked away and rubbed at his watering eyes.
"Sorry I fell asleep, I had the strangest dream." Stella looked away disappointed and began packing up her kit again. Ron looked over at Stella and frown, she was acting upset. He tugged the box gently out of her hands and set it down on the coffee table.
"Stella, look at me." Stella still refused to meet his gaze. "Stella?" Ron tilted her chin with her middle and index finger so she was looking at him; her cheeks were wet with silent tears. "It wasn't a dream was it?" He asked softly. Stella looked down again and shook her head as sobs began to wrack her body. Ron pulled her close to her and started rubbing her back.
"Hey, this isn't something to be upset about. I always wanted a big family, and now we can start early!" Stella looked up at his astonished.
"But you're job, you're doing so well, this is too soon, I can't really expect you to want to keep this baby, don't ruin your life because of my mistake!" Ron's eyes snapped open wider then they were before.
"How could you think I wouldn't want this baby? Hell Stella, how could you think I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with you? We've been together since college and I don't think I'd ever find someone as amazing as you ever again. So now, I wanted to wait until Christmas, but I guess now that everything is coming out in the open I might as well, "Stella stared at Ron curiously, until he got off the couch and went down on one knee, and then her jaw dropped.
"Stella Carina Santiago, will you marry me?" Ron pulled out his wand and whispered "Accio Stella's ring" and in a few seconds a small ring box zoomed into his awaiting hand. Stella sat on the couch rigidly with her eyes wide and looked at Ron in amazement as he opened the box. Inside the small black velvet box was a small ring with a pink diamond in the middle and two white diamonds on either side nestled in white satin.
"Oh, Ron" She breathed. "Are you really sure about this?" Ron pulled Stella to him in a kiss that surely answered her question.
Harry walked into the lobby of his home he shared with Ron and Hermione and quickly untied his tennis shoes and placed them neatly in the closet. When he stood up he could smell something delicious cooking in the kitchen and walked inside to take a closer whiff. Standing with her back to him was Hermione flipping the veggies and chicken around in the wok. Harry silently creped up behind her and kissed the back of her neck.
Hermione was adding more soy sauce to the chicken and veggies when she felt something soft and moist touch the back of her neck. A few micro seconds later she felt hands coming around her waist, as she relaxed into the "stranger's" embrace she flicked off the burner and turned her neck to the side so the person could continue the ministrations on her neck.
"Oh Harry" She quietly moaned.
"How do you know I'm Harry?" the stranger had a rougher, deeper voice than Harry's. Hermione went to scream but the assailant covered her mouth with their large hand and turned her around in their arms.
"Harry! You're frightened me! I should let you go hungry for that, and Ron and I will enjoy this ourselves." Hermione smirked at him, but rubbed his back to sooth him from his quidditch practice. She ran her long, rounded nails down his back and he arched and moaned in reply.
"Hermione, unless you want to be thrown on that table instead of the food, I suggest you stop." Hermione smirked at his statement and seemed to be considering his offer but instead laughed and pulled out of his embrace.
"Come on, dinner's ready. I wonder when Ron will be home."
"Oh, he called me when I was changing after practice. Stella called and asked him over, he said something about big news." Hermione and Harry flashed smiles at each other and Hermione wiggled her eyebrows and took the wok off the stove and poured the mix into a large pasta dish. Harry set the bowl on the table as Hermione took the rice off the burner and scooped it out onto their plates. She knew Harry liked rice pilaf a lot, so she gave him more and set the plates on the table. Harry uncorked the bottle of wine and poured it into the awaiting wine glasses. After sitting down Harry lifted his glass and clinked it with Hermione's.
"Cheers to.." Harry broke off in thought.
"To us?" Hermione smiled at Harry and clinked her glass to his.
"To us. " Harry leaned in and they shared a quick kiss.

"Stella, look at me." Stella still refused to meet his gaze. "Stella?" Ron tilted her chin with her middle and index finger so she was looking at him; her cheeks were wet with silent tears. "It wasn't a dream was it?" He asked softly. Stella looked down again and shook her head as sobs began to wrack her body. Ron pulled her close to her and started rubbing her back.
