Chapter Three: Lillian's Savior
Ginny sighed in annoyance. "Mum, stop doing this!"
Her mother looked at her innocently. "Doing what?"
"Fixing me up with Harry!" Ginny exclaimed.
"I am not," Molly said sipping the tea. "You two just need to catch up on things over dinner that's all."
Ginny groaned. "In other words a date."
Molly smiled slightly. "Not exactly a date dear, more of you two alone in a cozy booth."
"Mum!"
Molly laughed. "Well, would it be terrible? Harry's such a dear with Lillian and I know he loves you as well."
Ginny shook her head. "No he doesn't."
Molly nodded. "Yes he does. Ginny, he was with you for your pregnancy even when I wasn't."
Ginny sighed. "I'm going to lie down."
"Alright," Molly said patting her hand. "Just think about it, will you?"
Ginny nodded and cleared her things. "Ron's coming over in a good fifteen minutes."
"And you haven't told me?" Molly asked. "I have to make him lunch!"
Ginny smiled. "His a big boy, mum."
Molly sighed. "But I miss it," she mumbled.
Ginny hugged her mum and kissed her head. "You have Lillian."
"Hmm," Molly said getting up. "One problem though."
"What's that?"
"She's your child." Molly said wistfully. "I can't believe out of all your brothers you're the first to give me my child."
Ginny forced a smile. "Bitter reality I suppose."
Molly nodded and Ginny headed up the stairs. Opening the door to her room she lied down on the bed. Staring at the ceiling Ginny closed her eyes and let a memory come over her.
She was crying on her bed. The first trimester with her baby in her belly was hard enough. The door open quietly and Ginny looked over. Immediately she felt stupid. "Ginny?" Harry called out.
"H- Hello, Harry," she said before wiping her eyes fiercely. "What are you doing up?"
His eyes softened under the moonlight. "I came down for a drink and heard you. Are you alright?"
"No," Ginny said bitterly. "I'm pregnant with a baby whose father can't even answer an owl!"
Harry sat next to her. "I'm sorry," he said. "But what would it matter? The baby has a lovely mother."
Ginny sniffed and smiled at him. "Thank you Harry," she said softly.
Ginny looked blindly around her for a second. "Gin?" It was Ron.
"Come in," she said as she yawned.
Ron poked his head in and frowned. "You alright?"
She smiled. " I'm just thinking."
Ron flinched. "Not always a good thing."
She rolled her eyes. "'Hi' to you too."
He grinned sheepishly. He headed in and Harry bounded up with three cups. "Hello, Gin," he said smiling. "What some lemonade?"
Ginny nodded and took one. Ron grabbed one too. "How's Lillian?"
"Alive, healthy," Ginny said taking a sip form hers. Ron nodded. Ginny looked over at Harry and back at Ron. "Ron?"
"Hmm?"
"Could I talk to Harry? Alone?"
Ron looked between them and grinned. Ginny sigh inwardly at his stupidity, "Sure."
Once he left Harry turned his attention to her. "What's up?"
"Mum was trying to fix us up," Ginny said as she placed away the cup.
"What?" Harry asked. "Why would she do that? I mean-"
Ginny smiled and raised a hand to stop him. "She wants you to be with me because you're the perfect father for Lillian."
He blushed. "Well, I-"
"I just need to know something." Ginny said pulling her knees up to her chest. "You don't love me like that do you?"
He reddened. "Well, I don't know." He breathed in deeply. "Your amazing, Gin," he whispered. "I suppose I fancy you a bit."
Ginny shifted. "Harry?" He looked up bashfully. "I don't want to hurt you but I don't feel that way."
Harry shoulders slumped. "It's alright."
She forced a smile. Ginny looked away and her wand buzzed. Picking it up she tapped it in the air and the wand wrote 'Lillian.'
"Damn it," Ginny said getting up and running down the stairs. She went into the fireplace and was about to say it but Harry stopped her.
"Let me come."
"Just hurry," she said. "Lillian's Daycare!"
Stumbling into the room. Ginny looked at the lady before her. "Ms. Weasley!"
"Is something wrong with Lillian? Is she hurt? What happened?" Ginny asked as she caught her breath.
"Calm down," she said and Lillian came into the room. Ginny bent down and wrapped her arms around her. "She was saved."
Ginny looked up and Lillian's savior walked into the room. It was none other then Draco Malfoy.
