Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Harry Potter at all. I just love this quote and so I thought it worked here well.

"Kiss me and you will see stars; love me and I will give them to you."
-Unknown

Ginny practically ran to Hermione's office while Draco trailed behind her. He was a few feet back so when Ginny entered Hermione's office she was alone.

"Ginny, what in the world?" Hermione looked at her oddly.

"He said you had an emergency message for me. Is Simon alright?" Ginny asked on the verge of tears.

"Oh Ginny, I never thought about that." Hermione's expression was total remorse. "Simon is fine, it's nothing to do with him actually. I suppose in a way it does."

Ginny sucked in a breath and felt all the worry drain from her. She felt like she'd just run a mile from all the stress that she'd gone through.

"I'm sorry Ginny, I didn't think it would freak you out so much. It's just that I was so excited and I wanted to tell you, so I told him it was an emergency. I thought you'd just call. I didn't even think about Simon when I did it. I'm really sorry." Hermione said contritely.

"It's ok. So what's so urgent?" Ginny asked trying to act normally. Hermione noticed someone walk into her office but ignored them assuming it was a messenger or something.

"You won't just be mom anymore Gin, you'll be an aunt too! Si's going to have a friend to play with now!" Hermione exclaimed happily.

"You're pregnant?" Ginny asked surprised, she hadn't realized she and Ron were even trying to have children yet.

"It's shocking isn't it? I was totally stunned actually because we've taken all the precautions against it but somehow it happened." Hermione's joy was palpable. "This baby will be our miracle, just like Simon was yours. Hopefully I won't almost die while I'm having it though. It feels weird saying "it" but I have no idea what it is!" Hermione laughed loudly.

Draco stood in the doorway listening to the conversation in total shock and agony. Ginny was a mother. She had a child. That must have been what she meant when she said things had changed and couldn't ever be the same. Ginny must have loved whoever the father was a great deal to have almost died having his child. Jealousy at the unknown man coursed through his veins but he had no real reason to be jealous. He'd thrown Ginny away.

"I guess though that the age difference will matter. Simon is going to be almost five and a half when my baby is born. He'll be more like a big brother but that's ok!" Hermione continued to gush.

"Hermione, I'm so happy for you. It's really incredible I'm just surprised! I bet Ron's excited about it and can't wait to tell everyone." Ginny smiled thinking about her brother.

"Congratulations, Hermione." Draco interrupted the conversation. Draco needed to leave before he lost his composure and let his real emotions show. Hermione jumped at the sound of his voice. She'd just spilled Ginny's secret right in front of Draco.

"Thanks." She managed to say and Ginny looked at Draco with a mortified expression. He didn't seem to realize what had been said in the conversation, either that or he didn't want to have anything to do with his own son. Draco smiled tightly and walked out of the room.

"I think I need to go after him Mione." Ginny said uncertainly.

"Me too. Honestly I've thought that for years now." Hermione agreed with a nod.

"Wish me luck?" Ginny asked as she turned to leave.

"Good luck." Hermione smiled at her.

Ginny tried to follow Draco but he appeared to have apparated to some unknown destination. She was so frustrated and felt so defeated that she almost broke down into tears right there on the spot. Instead she glanced around. She had entered the muggle world on her search for Draco. Luckily she spotted just what she was looking for, a place with a bathroom.

Ginny walked uncertainly into the bar. She looked around and found the restroom and went in. She looked in the mirror and washed her face off, trying to calm herself down. She didn't know where to find Draco except at his office and he probably didn't go there because it was almost closing time. She'd just have to return tomorrow and hope he'd see her. Feeling defeated she left the bathroom and began toward the door.

"You look like you might need a drink." A feminine voice called to her as she made her way to the door.

"Excuse me?" Ginny looked over at the woman who had called out to her. She was beautiful, unbelievable so and she didn't look that much older than Ginny.

"Here. Sit down." The woman gestured to the seat next to her. Ginny sat down slowly. "So why do you look so glum?"

"No reason." Ginny didn't really want to discuss her problems with a stranger.

"Oh come on! If you can't tell your problems to me who can you tell? I don't know anything about you and I won't judge you so what more could you ask for? Aside from that I'm a great listener."

Ginny looked at her and noticed the pure kindness in her eyes. Ginny began to talk and before she realized it the whole story had slipped from her lips. She'd edited out parts that weren't suitable for a muggle to hear but other than that she told her everything.

"My name is Becca by the way." She said when Ginny was finished. "That's a really sad story, but it doesn't seem like a finished tale to me. It's too tragic to be finished. I think that he might love you if you give him a chance and you'll never know how he'll react to Simon until you tell him. What's your name?"

"I'm Ginevra. Well Ginny actually. I have no idea how to find him but I'm going to tell him. Thanks for listening to me. I didn't realize how much I actually needed to tell someone."

"No problem. Now if only I had a way to solve my problem." Becca sighed heavily.

"What's your problem?" Ginny asked taking a sip from her coke.

"Boy trouble just like you. I think I'm in love with this guy that I'm dating but we've only been dating for a little while. You know how guys are, he'll freak out if I tell him I love him but I can't help it. It almost slipped out yesterday and I'm so scared of losing him. I think he's the one."

"Oh. I don't have any experience with that because I've only loved one guy and you know what happened there." Ginny smiled ruefully.

"Maybe I should just say it and if he runs then it wasn't meant to be." She said with a questioning glance at Ginny.

"Sounds like a plan to me, I'm beginning to realize that honesty is always the best policy."

"There he is." Becca looked at a guy who walked through the door. He was very handsome in a rough kind of way.

"I better go then." Ginny smiled and started to stand.

"No stay. Please!" Becca begged. "At least for a little while."

"Ok." Ginny said hesitantly, she didn't really want to get in the middle of a lover's quarrel.

"Hi Jeff." Becca stood up and kissed him lightly. Jeff smiled back at Becca as if she were the sun in his sky and Ginny knew that he wouldn't run when Becca told him she loved him. He'd probably ask her to marry him or something like that. "Jeff this is my friend Ginevra."

Jeff looked at Ginny and smiled. "Hi. It's Ginny actually." She smiled.

"Good to meet you Ginny." Jeff smiled at her thinking the name sounded familiar.

"Oh my God!" Becca said suddenly.

"What?" Both Ginny and Jeff said at once.

"I just remembered that that guy you talk about's name is Draco!" Becca looked at Ginny with a grin.

"Yeah, he lives in my building." Jeff said looking at Becca questioningly. Suddenly enlightenment hit him. "And you're Ginny."

"What's his address?" Becca asked Jeff. He wrote it on a piece of paper.

"Good luck, Ginny." Becca whispered to her as Ginny stood to leave.

Draco heard the knock at his door and went to open it expecting to see Jeff standing there. He never imagined he'd see Ginny. She looked so vulnerable and scared that he instantly wanted to wrap her in his arms and never let her go, instead he asked her to come in.

She came in and turned around to face him.

"Draco you heard what Hermione said in her office today. I'm sorry but I didn't know how to tell you." Ginny was wringing her hands out of nervousness.

"I hadn't ever thought about that possibility that you'd have a child. I just assumed you were unattached. If I'd realized you were involved, I wouldn't have come after you." Draco said in a detached voice.

"What do you mean? Draco, Simon is yours."

Draco looked at Ginny startled. He searched her face for any sign of deceit and found none. "Mine." He said softly, then after a silent minute, "Ours."

Ginny doubted she'd heard him right. "Ours? I thought you'd hate me." Ginny said with tears forming in her eyes.

"You should hate me. That night, we…we made a child. I can't believe it." He looked at Ginny in awe and it quickly transformed into fear. "Hermione said you almost died giving birth." He grabbed Ginny in his arms and held her against him tightly, so tight she had to fight to breathe. "How?"

"They couldn't stop the bleeding, I was in a coma for days." She told him wrapping her arms around him trying to comfort him.

"For my son. A child that I told you to get rid of." He sounded like he hated himself.

"You were hurt."

"That's no excuse. What's he like?" Draco asked and Ginny smiled impishly.

"You've met him actually." Ginny told him.

"What?" Draco stuttered.

"Jello? That was Simon."

"Seriously?" Draco asked and Ginny nodded. "No wonder the woman with him was freaking out. She tried to hide it but I could tell something was making her nervous. Is that why you decided to tell me?"

"No." Ginny stopped, trying to find the words to tell him how she really felt. "I've thought about telling you for a long time. I've been so guilty over keeping him a secret but I told myself you didn't want him, which I assumed was true. But then I realized that even if you didn't want him you deserved to know. You deserved a chance to decide and I was depriving you that."

"But why now? You could have told me so many times." Draco asked sitting on the couch. Ginny chose to sit across from him in a chair.

"I needed to prepare. You suddenly reappeared in my life and I had no idea how to tell you. It's not like I could just blurt it out. Aside from the fact that you thought I was some money hungry gold digger I thought you might try to take Simon from me."

The accusation obviously hurt Draco. "I can see that. I've really messed everything up haven't I?"

"We both did."

"Do you think we could try again? I mean you and me? And of course Simon but I meant you and I, could we try again?" Draco looked at her hopefully.

Ginny smiled big and bright. "Yes, but before anything else happens and you meet Simon and all that you need to know that I don't want your money. I don't want anything like that from you. I'm fully independent." Ginny told him because her old fears were creeping up and she knew she was heavily in debt to the hospital.

"What if we get married, should we have separate bank accounts then?" Draco asked her completely seriously.

"Married? I hadn't…thought…it's soon…maybe I'll consider it in a year or so" That's when she thought she might possibly be somewhat close to paying off Si's hospital bills.

"A year?" Draco asked appalled. "Why a year?" He asked suspiciously. He'd just finally found out about his son and the fact that Ginny might still love him and he felt like he was already going to lose her.

"Just a round figure." Ginny lied and averted her eyes. "So do you want to go talk to Simon again?" Ginny asked.

Draco got up and walked over to sit beside her. He smiled at her and without a word kissed her. She eagerly kissed him back.

"Who was with you when you had him?" Draco asked as her moved to kiss her neck.

"Hermione." Ginny said breathlessly.

"Those drawings…they are from Simon." He smiled against Ginny's neck. "He's really very talented."

"Yeah so is his father. Just not in drawing." Ginny said with a smile.

Draco trailed back up to her mouth and kissed her again. "Let's go to Simon." He said and pulled her up to stand beside him.
