Chapter 4
Ginny quietly sat her son in his bed and pulled the blankets up over him. She gently kissed him on the forehead, then quietly walked out the door, shutting it behind her. She turned and walked into the living room to sit down on the couch and talk with Draco, switching on the radio as she went.
Neither seemed to be able to break the uncomfortable silence that sat between them, so they sat there listening to the radio. The song 'Broken', by Seether and Amy Lee came on, and she quickly got up and switched it off. That song always reminded her of Draco, and she really couldn't handle crying right now.
She stood there with her hand on the off button for a few minutes before Draco spoke, "They don't know either, do they?"
"Who?" Ginny asked quietly.
"Your family. They don't know about Grant do they?" he said, already knowing the answer.
"No they don't yet."
"It's been five years and no one knows about him but you and the babysitter?" he stood up and walked towards her, but she just turned and looked away, not answering him. "Thought so. Okay, I want you and Grant to move in with me. I'm leaving to go to Italy for a week tomorrow, so we can move you when I get back."
"No."
"What?"
"We are not moving in with you. You think that because you suddenly show up after five years and find out that you have a son you can take over?! We're not moving in with you." she said angrily, turning to face him.
"And why not?!" he said, slowly and carefully taking a step back.
"Because, Draco, you forget, you're the one who left us, not the other way around." She said, taking a step forward. Her voice was gradually getting louder.
"You made me leave Ginny." he said, raising his voice too.
"Because you cheated on me! And don't give me that crap about you being drunk and not knowing what you were doing, because that's no excuse. Either you were lying about that, or you lied to me before about you being able to 'hold your liquor.'" she said with a smirk, "Which is it mister Malfoy, did you lie to me that night, or had you been lying all along?"
He mumbled something, and her smirk got even wider, "What was that?"
"I said, I've never been able to hold my liquor." he refused to look at her.
She dropped the smile on her lips and made him look her straight in the face before saying, "What else did you lie to me about?"
"Once. I told you I would be late from work, but instead of staying and working late I-"
He was cut off by Ginny, "I don't care what you did. You told me you would never lie to me, and you did, then not even a week later you got drunk and brought home Pansy Parkinson! I want you out of my house, and my sons life." she said as she walked over to the door and opened it.
"Please Ginny, let me at least tell you what happened!" he said as he stepped into the hallway and turned to her.
"Fine Draco, where did you go when you lied to me?"
"I went to the jewelry store and bought this." he said, taking a small blue box out of his pocket and handing it to her. She slammed the door shut and leaned her back against it, before looking in the box. She slid down the door and began to cry, because there in the little blue box was a pink, heart shaped diamond engagement ring. At that moment the radio switched back on just in time for her to hear the end of the song, 'You've gone away, you don't feel me anymore.' Her magic had perfect timing to take on it's own mind...
Draco stood on the other side of the door for a few minutes, listening to her crying, before he turned and slowly walked down the hall and out the door into the cold world.
A/n - Thanx to all my reviewers, all I have to say though is that i'm gonna wait till i get at least 15 reviews to post again. It's only ten more reviews, I know you can do it!!! The song doesn't belong to me by the way... by the way, i have a new story called An Odd Sort of Oz for anyone who's interested, it's supposed to be humor, but I may incorporate some mild romance in there...who knows. And Remember, Review!!!
