Ron:

Archie, it transpired, was absolutely fine. The hospital ran tests and made him stay in for the night. The nurses feel in love with him, and were very reluctant to let him go.

"Turns out you've already got the old charm with the ladies, mate" I said to him. He grinned.

"Can back here daddy?" He asked, pulling at my jumper.

"I hope you never have to. This is only if you're sick" I told him, throwing floo powder into one of the fires.

We arrived back at the house in whirl of flame. It was only seven, but Hermione, Alex and Harry were already awake. Alex transported into squeals of delight at the sight of her twin.

"ARCHIE!!!!!" She screamed as I let him down. She ran forwards, hugging him tightly.

Hermione was curled up in an armchair, her hands on her belly. She looked extremely worried.

"Is he okay?" She asked tensely. I grinned and drew her into a tight hug.

"He's absolutely fine" I kissed her softly on the lips, "But the nurses wanted to keep him in longer"

"Why?" She asked sharply, looking over at our three children.

"They thought he was adorable, all that stuff, y'no. What's wrong?" I asked, brushing a tear away from her face.

"N-nothing" She stood up abruptly, and hurried into the kitchen, "I'll m-make a cup of tea, you must be thirsty"

I followed her through to the kitchen, feeling confused. Was it something I said? Perhaps the nurse thing had upset her?

"Ron, I'm okay, I'm just h-happy that Archie's fine," She said, tapping the kettle with her wand.

"Alright then" I said awkwardly. This wasn't Hermione. She hardly ever cried tears of happiness. What was wrong?

"Tea" She said roughly, thrusting the mug into my hands. I blinked at her in confusion. She scowled and hurried out of the room.

"What the hell is a matter with you?" I whispered. She was bent down on the floor, playing with the kids.

"Nothing" She said quickly.

"Daddy, you play?" Alex asked tenderly, holding up her Barbie doll.

"I guess so" I sighed.

Hermione:

A couple of months past, and I just knew I was pregnant. Ron, who had already experienced this kind of thing, was totally oblivious. He kept asking what was wrong. Even when I was bent over the toilet with morning sickness. I felt sure it was the other guy's baby, even though Ron and I had gotten 'intimate' in the past few weeks.

"Hermione, I think you need a lie down" It was 8 in the morning, and I was being violently sick in the toilet. Ron was just standing by the door, looking confused.

"You think I need a lie down?" I said savagely, turning my back on him to wash my face, "Your not kidding"

"'Mione" He said desperately, turning me round, "What's wrong?"

"Wrong? Work it out! You're not that thick!" I slid down onto the floor, and started sobbing uncontrollably

Ron went deathly pale, "umm, Hermione, please tell me your not..." His voice trailed off.

"Tell you I'm not what?"

"Pregnant?" He asked weakly, staring at my stomach.

"You should've worked that out ages ago" I glared at him.

"Oh no, Hermione, not another bloody one!" He shook his head, "I can't handle it! We were only meant to have two! Ever! And come to think of it, we weren't even meant to have Harry! We weren't meant to have kids together! Or we weren't meant to have twins! Kids! Kids! Kids!"

I stared ahead, not looking at him. What would happen when I did have the kid? It would be dark skinned. Ron would defiantly know. But maybe it was Ron's? Something told me it wasn't. Maybe I should go away now? Maybe I should tell him everything...

"I'm going out" He said gruffly. I nodded, not seeing him properly. I hadn't been able to look him in the eye for weeks. I needed someone to confide in, anyone...

"Daddy went out. Mummy, what wrong?" I looked up. Archie was standing in the doorway, sucking his thumb. I couldn't let him see me like this.

"Mummy's feeling a bit bad, but she'll be better. How do you fancy going to see Rowan and Jake?" I asked him, putting on my best motherly tone and smiling. Archie's face lit up.

"Oh, I would do" He said, grinning at me. Alex appeared behind him.

"Where going to Rowan and Jakes house?" She asked. I raised an eyebrow.

"Did you here mummy telling Archie that?" I asked, confused. I was sure Alex hadn't been near enough to hear.

"No, Archie told me" She said simply.

"He didn't say anything though" I said perplexedly

"Did. We talk to eachother in head" She hit her twins head a couple of times. I was scared now...what was going on?

"You talk to each other inside your head?"

"All time. Can go now?" Archie said in a bored voice. I was sure I'd read something about telepathic twins before. I just couldn't remember where.

"Yeah" I said distractedly. I got Harry and we flooed over to Ginny's house.

Ginny was sitting at the table with a cup of tea, looking down and depressed. I could here the boys upstairs, but Seamus was nowhere to be seen. The kids rushed off to meet there cousins. I sat down next to Ginny, giving her a warm smile.

"'Lo" She said glumly, taking a swig of tea.

"What's wrong?" I asked, pouring my self some tea. Ginny sighed.

"Me and Seamus are getting a divorce...but..." She shook her head, "I'm pregnant"

"How far along are you?" I asked, amazed. Ginny and I were always pregnant at the same times.

"2 months" She looked up, "I'm going to be a single mum of 3"

"Ginny" I took a deep breath, "I'm pregnant too"

"No way!" She gasped, looking up at me. I tried to smile. I wanted to tell Ginny Ron wasn't the dad, but I just couldn't, "How far along are you?"

"2 months as well" I said, "Ron isn't happy; he doesn't want loads of kids"

"Oh well, at least you'll have Ron there for you" She smiled, laying a hand on my arm, "Your happy marriage will never end"

I nodded, trying to blink back the tears. If only it were true...Ron and I wouldn't be so happy when the baby came along.

"Where is Ron, anyway?" She asked. I shrugged.

"Stormed off when I told him about the baby" I said sadly, looking down.

"He'll get over it and be thrilled" Ginny sighed, "Trust him!"

"I don't know, Gin. He was going on about how we were never meant to have kids together. I know it's true" I said tearfully, "But does he have to bring it up? We had Harry, fell in love and got married. It's like he regrets it or something"

"No, Of course not, he doesn't regret it, he's always said it's the best thing that ever happened to him" She said softly, looking right into my eyes. I nodded, knowing that she was right. But the fact of the matter was I had gone and thrown it all away for a drunken romp.

"Enough about me, I'm being selfish. What about you and Seamus? My worries are nothing compared to that" Yeah right.

"'Mione, there is no me and Seamus anymore" Ginny shook her head, "I don't want to think about it. Let's talk about something else, ok?"

We spent the next few hours talking about life, everything. The kids played all that time, and miraculously didn't bother us. Ginny told me all about telepathic twins.

"It's common in magical identical twins; Fred and George had it. It's not in fraternal though. If Archie and Alex are they must be very powerfully magical, not surprising, with you as a mother, is it?"

I finally left at around 1. Ron still wasn't in. I wondered vaguely where he was.

"Mum, I'm hungry!" Harry moaned.

I set about making the kids dinner. After that I set the twins down for naps, while Harry played in the garden. Finally, at 5, Ron flooed in.

"Where have you been?" I asked him angrily.

"I went to Harry's grave. I talked to him"

I stared at him, dumbfounded. Ron hadn't been to Harry's grave for ages. He hardly ever talked about Harry.

"What? Aren't I allowed to go and talk things over with my best friend?" He asked.

"Of course you are" I said, "It's just you hardly ever do"

"I wish he was still here" Ron said sadly, ignoring me and staring at our own Harry playing in the garden.

"Yeah, we all miss him" I said sadly. Before I knew it I was crying.

"Shh, it's alright" Ron said, wiping my tears away, "After all; we've got our memories of him, right?"

Ron and I talked about our times with Harry that night. All of the memory's. It was a good thing, really. Our relationship felt almost normal. But at the back of my head, there was still that nagging thought. You've cheated on him. Your having another mans baby. Things will never be the same again.

A/N- this chapter is a bit boring, but it was necessary for the entire Ginny and Seamus thing, and Ron and Hermione's argument. Also for the twins, I thought I'd make them telepathic, telepathy totally rocks! Many ppl are saying Hermione doesn't deserve Ron, but she will get her comeuppance! Lay off me for a bit. Anyway. Next chapter, Hermione gets depressed and Ron gets more eager. Review!
