"Ailey Solita, where are you?"

silence

"Ah, come on, Ailey. I know you are hiding from me. If you don't come out by the count of three then there will be no ice cream for you. You have been stressing mommy out for the last hour which isn't very nice, sweetie. One.... two.....thr-"

"Here I am, mommy. I am sorry." came a little girl from underneath a pile of clothes to be cleaned.

"It's okay, Ailey. I was just worried." said Ginny.

"Sorry."

"It's fine. Just don't do it again. Now go to your room and play with your dolls and let mommy make dinner."

"Okay."

With that Ailey ran to her room while Ginny turned around and hugged herself as she walked into the kitchen. She gliding over to the oven put some casserole in it.

It had been hard to move on after receiving Draco's note. She continued to constantly think about him and couldn't seem to shake him. Then, she began to wake up every morning feeling nauseous and eventually would throw up her breakfast. She thought the stress was getting to her. However, when she went to the medi-witchs, everything changed.

It was exactly 3 months after she had first said "I love you", after she had regained her sight and after Draco had left, when she discovered she was pregnant. Everything once again seemed to pile on top of her again. Before her family's death, she had had them. While she was blind she had had Ladon/Draco. Even after getting her vision back and Draco leaving, she had overcome that and had had herself. Now, however, she wouldn't be alone. She would now be unable to resort to her reticentness if she was going to raise a child. She didn't have anyone to support her.

She had realized at the beginning that possibly Dumbledore could help her, but she didn't feel right since he was so busy. So during those last couple months before her child would arrive; she toughened herself up. She needed to be able to stand on her own two feet.

Even though she realized that she hadn't lived that long, giving birth to Ailey was the greatest moment she ever experienced. Towards the last week, she began to wonder what her child would look like. She didn't know if she would be able to bear looking into her child possible silver eyes or white blonde hair. However, when she held Ailey, nothing mattered.

Ailey was a rambunctious 4-year old with a mind that rivaled Hermione's. Her hair was wavy and was, surprising, brown with auburn highlights. She always wondered where Ailey's hair color came from since brown definitely did not run in her family and she figured the same for Draco's. She had inquisitive, hazel eyes like her grandmother and sometimes the demeanor like Molly too. However, even though Ailey looked nothing like Draco, Ginny constantly felt like Draco himself was in the room when Ailey walked in.

All this thinking of Draco had caused Ginny to stumble upon memories she had long since buried.

Quietly, she walked past Ailey's room in the apartment, hoping she had fallen asleep while playing with her dolls. Ginny slipped into her bedroom and almost silently opened her closet door. Whenever, she opened the closet, she always remembered seeing that stream of light as she sat, huddled on the floor, inside, after her vision had flowed back.

Mentally shaking herself, she pushed the door back farther and reached up to the shelf above the multitude of hangers holding their wares. Gently, she nudged aside a few mementos and stood on her toes to grasp the hidden box in the back. She pulled it down and laid it on the floor and sat beside it. As she opened the box, once again the memories flooded her mind. She took a deep breath and sifted through the box.

The box was filled with all the memories she had of Ladon/Draco. She had always joked in her mind that the box seemed a little stalkerish, but she knew that it was all for a good reason. She felt that when the time was right, she should have some memories of Draco for when she told Ailey about her father.

Inside held was a picture of Draco, Dumbledore had given her as a baby gift for Ailey and a strand of Draco's hair Ginny had found of the pillow after he had left. There were various scraps of paper from their numerous dates Ginny had found at the bottom of her purse. Ginny also had some nostalgic items from Ailey's life she kept for dream meeting of Ailey and Draco. At the very bottom of the box was the letter from Draco. Though it stirred many uneasy memories, Ginny held on to it to remind Ailey when she was older that Draco had loved herself and she, as him, hadn't been a passing fling.

Suddenly, she her bedroom door swing open and Ailey tromping into her room, announcing her arrival.

"Mommy, are you playing hide-and-seek?"

"No, honey. I'm right here." Ginny said struggling to throw everything back in the box.

"Mommy, you're funny. Why are you in the closet?"

"Umm, no reason. Come on let's go eat dinner."

"Okay."
