Last week she had made an appointment by owl at his office with his secretary. She had given the false name of Beatrice Parker because she knew he wouldn't see her under own name.

Ginny had finally reached the decision to tell Draco about the baby. At two months, she thought it was either now or show up looking like a basketball had appeared in her stomach. Not that she was that far along, she just didn't know much about having a baby. Yes, she had nieces and nephews from sister-in-laws but she had never been pregnant before.

It was time to leave. With a pop, she was in the women's bathroom of his office building. A quick once over in the mirror showed she was looking as good as could be expected. Morning sickness had started the morning after she had told her parents and suddenly she tired more easily. The bags under her eyes were currently hidden under a lot of Muggle makeup.

Walking out of the restroom and into the elevator, she felt butterflies dancing inside her. Keeping her lunch down was another story. It took the short elevator ride but she finally got her stomach settled enough to go directly to his office.

Smiling pleasantly at the secretary, she said "Beatrice Parker to see Draco Malfoy" then took her seat. Flipping through Wizard Weekly, she stopped to read an article on Harry. Silently laughing at the description of his latest Qudditch victory, she remembered all the times Harry beat Draco at school; those years where all she thought of was Harry, Michael, Dean and even Neville but never Draco. His being a git had turned her off from that idea at the time.

"Miss Parker, you may go in now." The leggy blonde told her.

Putting the magazine down, she walked into his office where she found him facing out the window to the city below. "Miss Parker. Welcome to my -" He turned around and stopped short. "Ginevra."

"Malfoy." He didn't invite her to sit but she did anyway.

"What are you doing here?" Clearly, he was not happy to see her.

"All in good time." She wasn't going to be rushed. This is too important.

"Ginevra. Some of us do have to work," he drawled to her, "while others can play. What do you want?"

"Fine Draco. You asked; just remember that." Sitting up straight, she gestured to his chair. "You might want to sit down for this."

"I'll stand" was his childish reply which got a "suit yourself" in response.

"Draco. I'm pregnant." There the father was told.

"And it's mine?"

"Excuse me?? That's what you have to say?" Ginny started fuming.

"Well, we were never exclusive-" He broke off at the glare she sent. "Well, we weren't. We never made promises."

"Maybe you didn't, you great prat, but I did. You were my first so there for my only." She replied coolly. Risking her baby's health over him wasn't worth it.

"Well, then. What are you going to do?" Not we she noticed, but you.

"I'm keeping it." If she hadn't been certain before, she was now. This baby suddenly became necessary for her. Unconditional love was rare and she was sure this baby would give it to her.

"You're keeping it?" He sounded aghast.

"Yes. I don't care if you are a part of his or her life but I am. My family will be. No one else needs to be if they don't want to be. The baby will be taken care of no matter what." She stood, ready to leave. He didn't make a move to stop her and for once she was glad. All that emotion took the energy completely out of her.

"Well. I guess that says it all. Malfoys do not have bastards therefore the child will not be a Malfoy." His gaze reminded her of looking through glass: never paying attention to the glass, just the other side.

"I suppose it is. Goodbye Draco." With that, she left his office by foot. She wasn't going to Apparate if she didn't have too. It tended to make her queasy.

She was alone in this now. She understood that and accepted it. If she were honest with herself, she would admit she had known she would be alone no matter what.

A/N: I hope this was in character of a Malfoy. I probably will not be updating for the next several days since I am going to be pretty busy. Hopefully I will be able to get chapter 4 out by Saturday, possibly 5 as well. I have it figured out and the story will be eight chapters. Titled and planned. Just waiting to be written. I already have pieces written a notebook so I don't forget.

Oh, and there will probably be spoilers up through OotP (in chapter 4 there will be I know of) so you've been forewarned.

The title comes from the song "On My Own," which is featured in Les Miserables. The lyrics just struck me as what Ginny could be feeling at the time. The actual phrase I chose was more symbolic. Their night - playtime - is over and when the day comes out, she's left with reality. The moon creates shadows while the sun dispels them.

Eve Granger, thank for reviewing. Of course I'd give you some credit. You've been really good at telling me what you think of the story. I hope you like this chapter.

kt, thank you so much. I'm really glad you're enjoying this piece. The idea came to me and I had to write it. I've never written a piece like this before. It's a new experience for me.

Stella7, thank you! The more dramatic moments will be coming soon so I hope you still like it then.

Akarusa30991, now I can't give that away! That would ruin the other chapters of the stories. ;) And the shower is such a good place, isn't it? Very relaxing.
