"Mum, how do you think Gin's fairing?" Ron asked as he helped himself to another swig of pumpkin juice.
"She's fine, Ron. Stop worrying," Molly reassured him.
"Yeah, I bet her and Draco are having a wonderful morning in bed together," Fred said. Ron's face turned livid.
"WHAT!" Ron cried.
"Fred! Watch it!" Molly ordered.
"Shouldn't we invite her over? It's been a long time since we last saw her," George said, stuffing his face with bacon.
Ron looked around the house. Everything was so quite these days. Percy was dead from a Death Eater attack, Bill was off cracking codes, and Ginny was with Draco…hopefully not in bed. The twins no longer made so many experiments in the house. Everything was dead quiet.
"I suppose we could invite her over. But she's fine," Molly reassured them.
But Ginny wasn't exactly fine enough for Ron's taste.
~~~!~~~
One day on her way to St. Mungo's, Ginny collapsed.
Draco felt a searing pain on his forearm. As his fingers traced the serpent on his forearm, he remembered what it was for. A thought quickly came to his mind, Ginny was in trouble.
He quickly pulled on his coat and dashed out of the Ministry. He quickly made his way to St. Mungo's. He was about to go inside when he stopped and turned around. There on the floor sprawled, lay Ginny.
"Ginny!" Draco exclaimed as he rushed towards her and kneeled beside her. "Ginny!" He shook her gently and she groaned. Slowly, her eyes fluttered open
"Wha? What? Where am I?" Ginny asked.
"You don't remember where you are? Did you get knocked out? Did you lose your memory?" Draco asked panicking. Ginny slowly stumbled to her feet and looked around.
"Oh yeah! I was going to work when I suddenly fainted," Ginny recalled.
"Why did you faint? Have you been drinking? Do you have a hangover?" Draco asked.
"No! Calm down! I don't know why."
"Then we're going to see a mediwizard."
"Fine. But nothing's wrong."
"Then why did you faint?"
"Good point." Draco dragged her inside and walked into a ward.
"Mr. Malfoy! What can I do for you today?" asked the healer.
"She fainted a few minutes ago. We don't know why though," Draco explained.
"Oh, I see. Drinking possibly?"
"I don't drink!" Ginny cried exasperated.
"Hmm…have you two been in any…um…," the healer began.
"Physical contact? Yes. Now what's the point of this," Draco asked.
"Well, one moment," the healer took out her wand, pointed it at Ginny's stomach, and muttered 'Pregnatus Findus'. (Just pretend that's Latin for pregnancy find, k? lol). Little blue sparks shot out from the wand tip.
"Why did you just do that?" asked Ginny.
"It-it can't be! That spell finds out if you're pregnant or not. And the blue sparks means…means…you're…you're," Draco stuttered.
"What Mr. Malfoy is trying to say is that you're pregnant," the mediwizard stated.
"WHAT!" Ginny cried.
"When is it going to be due?" asked Draco while Ginny was in her state of shock.
"Some time around May," replied the mediwizard.
"Is it a boy or girl?" asked Draco.
"We c-can't tell," the mediwizard said.
"What do you mean you can't tell?! With all this advanced magic you can't tell whether we're going to have a girl or boy!" Draco cried.
"Sorry, but for all we know she could be having triplets!" The mediwizard joked.
"Is she?" asked Draco.
"I don't think so. Now if that's all please exit." Draco took Ginny by the hand and walked her out.
~~OUTSIDE THE WARD~~
"I'm pre-pre-pregnant," Ginny stammered.
"All my life I wanted kids, but now I'm actually going to be a father!" Draco said.
"And I'm the mother," Ginny said awed.
"At least I hope I'm the father," Draco added suspiciously.
"Draco! Of course you are!" Ginny said.
"Just checking."
"How are we supposed to tell my family?" asked Ginny.
"You're taking care of Ron," Draco said.
"Okay, but we must tell them soon," Ginny said.
"And we must make sure my father never finds out or…let's just make sure he never finds out," Draco said.
With that the couple made their way back home.
~~!~~
"Why did you lie to them? You know we can tell whether it's a boy or girl and how many they're going to have!" said another healer as she entered the room.
"I don't think a Malfoy would have liked what I was going to tell him," said the healer that had been with Ginny and Draco. The new Healer shrugged and they continued to work.
~~!~~
Ginny was seated on the couch with Draco when an owl flew in. Ginny took out the note and read quickly.
"What is it?"
"You know how we have to tell my family soon? I think today is soon. They invited be over to the Burrow because they missed me and wanted to check up on me," Ginny explained.
"Remember: Ron is your job," Draco reminded her. They both Apparated to the Burrow.
"Mum! We're here!" cried Ginny as she walked into the kitchen.
"Ginny!" said Molly as she embraced her daughter firmly releasing her as the twins and Ron made their way down the steps.
"Ginny!" said the twins in unison as they gave her a double hug. Then Ron gave her one and they were all ushered into the living room.
"So, Gin, how's it been going?" asked Fred. Molly excused herself and went to get treats from the kitchen.
"Great, Fred," Ginny said trying not to gaze at any of her brothers in the eye.
"You and Draco been up to anything?" asked Ron suspiciously. Ginny almost gave away the baby too soon with her too quick of an answer.
"Nope, no, nothing," Ginny answered quickly. "Where's Bill?"
"Off working with the goblins on some new case," Ron said.
Molly walked in with a plate of cookies and Ginny quickly busied herself with a huge cookie.
"So, anything exciting happened?" Molly asked. Ginny looked at Draco, who nodded. How many more questions could they take before they had to answer?
"Mum, Ron, Fred and George, we have an announcement," Ginny said as both her and Draco got to their feet.
"A divorce I hope," Ron whispered, but Draco heard him.
"What is it, Gin?" George asked.
"I don't think I can tell everyone in this room calmly," Ginny said looking directly at Ron.
"Who? Me? Go ahead, Gin. I can take anything," Ron bragged a bit unsure of himself.
"Well, I'm pregnant," Ginny whispered.
"What? Speak up, Gin. We can't hear you," Fred said.
"I'm pregnant," she said louder.
"Whose the lucky father?" asked Ron, not getting that it was Draco, or not wanting to get it.
"Draco, Ron. I'm pregnant with Draco's child," Ginny explained slowly.
"WHAT! HOW DARE HE GET YOU PREGNANT?!" Ron bellowed. He walked up to Draco and smacked him right on the face. Draco staggered back taken my surprise. His lower lip was bleeding badly.
"Oh my god, Draco!" Ginny cried. "Here," she took a napkin and dabbed at Draco's wound.
"I'll go upstairs and wash my face up," Draco said as he made his way up the stairs quickly.
"Ron! How could you?" Ginny cried as she slumped onto the couch and began to sob. "You promised you'd give him a chance, Ron! How could you?"
"Aw, look Ron, you've upset Gin!" George said as he walked over next to Ginny and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and squeezed her.
"It's okay, Gin. Don't mind blow up over there," Fred said as he sat down on the other side and did the same as George.
"Why did you do that, Ron? Why don't you give him a chance! He's provided your sister with a beautiful house, money, and unconditional love! Isn't that enough?" snapped Molly.
Ron was shocked at his actions. He fell onto the couch and looked at his hand.
"I did that?" he murmured. "God Gin, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, Gin. I
really didn't. I'm sorry. I let my temper get the best of me," Ron apologized.
"It's okay," Ginny said as she stopped crying and wiped the tears from her face. "But you've got to apologize to Draco."
At that moment Draco walked down slowly and stood by Ginny.
"Look, I'm sorry mate. I acted irrationally. I'm real sorry," Ron apologized.
"It's okay," Draco said looking as if nothing had happened at all.
"Is it a boy or girl?" asked Molly.
"They said they couldn't tell," Draco said.
"What? When I was having all my children they told me each time what it was. There's something wrong," Molly said.
"Oh well. I'm just so happy! I'm going to be a mother!" Ginny cried.
