Thanks so much for the reviews! I appreciate it a lot. And thank you James, for the constructive criticism. I will try to work on that sorry.


Chapter 5

"I'm really sorry girls. But...But...he...your father is NOT coming back," Ginny choked out. It pained her so much to say the words. But in reality, she knew it was true. She waited and waited, just like she promised, but he never came. He never came...

Of course, she didn't tell anyone about her reasons for never dating another guy after Hogwarts. They just thought that she was a busy woman with lots of work. But in truth, she was waiting for him.

Flashback

"What!" Arthur Weasley yelled in rage.

"Daddy, I'm really sorry," Ginny sobbed, tears runing down her cheeks. Molly held her head in shame as she sat on the couch. Ron had left the house, too angry to even look at her.

"A Malfoy! You got knocked up by a MALFOY!"

"Daddy, please don't yell."

Molly was now crying loudly. Hermione was watching this all unfold from the kitchen door.

"Get out," said Arthur, calmly. Ginny looked at him in disbelief. "Wha...What?"

"I said Get out!"

With so much pain filled inside of her, she ran out of the house, just running. She didn't know where she was going but she just wanted to get away. She wanted to kill Draco! For giving her so much grief and pain.

The next three months went by slowly with agony. Ginny's belly was now growing larger that the whole school noticed. Dumbledore offered for her to be homeschooled but she refused. She wanted to get through school like any other student.

Her parents had forgiven her. But only because Bill came over and had a talk with them. They were now supporting Ginny in every way that they could. Ron helped her too, though he was still angry at her for dating Draco behind his own back. Later on, Ron proposed to Hermione and they had their wedding in the backyard of the burrow. Ginny was in tears. Not only because she was happy for her brother but because that was what she wanted. A life with a husband and a family. She wanted Draco to come back.

After the baby was born, her whole family rejoiced. It didn't turn out to be one child, but two! A set of fraternal twins. One, however, looked exceptionally like her father. Everyone noticed this, but ignored it. They loved the girls.

After a couple of months, Ginny started training to become a Healer. It was hard for her. Her days at the school were long, which meant that she couldn't have a job. So she stayed at the burrow, with her mom taking care of the twins.

Life was hard. But they got through it okay. Her life was great. She had a great job, with two beautiful girls. All she needed now was a husband. And she wanted Draco

End Flashback

But Draco was never coming back, she realized as she lay in bed after a lust-filled night with Harry. He was snoring softly next to her. She smiled. She was going to move on with her life. No more waiting for someone who would never be coming back.

The next couple of weeks, everyone soon found out about the engagement. Ginny and Harry's faces were plastered on every page of the Daily Prophet. At work, she was given flowers with congratulations. She was happy for once in six years.

When the third week of their engagement flew by, Ginny was tired. She had been working long hours at St. Mungo's. She was now sitting in the employee's lounge, taking a sip of coffee. She had been awake since three in the morning and hadn't slept since. God knows how much she needed the coffee.

Suddenly the door banged open and her trainee came rushing in, panting heavily. "Miss Weasley! There's someone here. He's terribly injured!"

Without another word, Ginny fled through the room, ran through the hall, and went down the stairs to the entrance. There was someone lying on the floor. He was bundled up in large overworn traveling coats. He was dirty, his hair was disheveled and he looked like he hadn't had a shower in ages.

Ginny quickly ran over to him. She helped him up. "What is the problem?" she asked.

He didn't look at her. Instead, he was still panting. "Please, water. Food."

Understanding, Ginny put his arm over her shoulder and led him to the nearest room. She layed him down on the bed.

"Silverman!" she yelled.

Her trainee appeared at the doorway in a flash. "Yes, Miss Weasley?"

"Get me a glass of water and some food."

The trainee nodded and left the room.

Ginny looked down at her patient. His lips were chapped and dry and he was scarred and bruised everywhere. His dirty hand came up to touch her face. "Ginny?"

She looked at him in surprise. How did he know her name. She pushed the dirt-caked hair out of his eyes and took a good look at them. They were hard, steel gray. The very same colored eyes as--

"Draco!"

"Ginny," he breathed. He looked as if he were about to collapse. Ginny touched his hand, feeling it for the first time in years. She let it run over the coolness of her cheek while she cried. A couple of stray tears were swept away as his finger touched her.

Her heart was thumping so much she felt it was about to explode right out of her chest. She couldn't believe it. He was here! Here with her!

"Wha...what happened to you?" she said, through a cracked voice, still sobbing.

Before he could answer, someone walked through the door. It was the trainee with a large glass of water and a tray of cookies. "Sorry, Miss. Cookies were the only food we had."

Ginny didn't turn to look at her. Instead, she ordered, "Give me a damp towel, Silverman."

She heard the trainee walk out of the room, shutting the door.

Ginny handed the glass of water to Draco. He nearly grabbed it and took the whole thing down in one gulp. As he set the glass down, he let out a big sigh. "I haven't had water in a week."

She continued to cry, but this time harder. "What happened?"

"I...can't explain now," he said, staring souly into her bright brown eyes. She kissed his fingertip, despite the dirt all over it. She was so overwhelmed. She NEVER would have believed he would come back.

Silverman came in again, and without a word, she handed a towel and sponge to her apprentice and left the room.

Immediately, Ginny began running the towel over his dirt-covered face. It cleaned it up a bit, showing the paleness he had always had. She wanted to break. Her heart couldn't take it. Everything that she had ever hoped and prayed for for six years was finally here. It was so overwhelming that she wanted to cry.

And she did. She dropped the towel and let her head rest on his chest, crying all her pain out. She felt him running small circles along her back, soothing her.

He then lifted her chin up so he could take a good look at her. His face was mostly clean now and she could see it clearly. Then, he leaned in to kiss her. She searched him hard and hungrily, like she had been starving for months and a feast was right in front of her now. She wanted to savor the taste of him. She missed it for all those years she spent alone, dateless, with no love or sex life whatsoever. So she was kissing all of that from him. Getting what she deserved.

He pulled away suddenly, looking deeply into her eyes. "A kiss to make it better."
