The Two

Chapter 10

Accept It

Every head in the Weasly living room turned to see…Ron? Mrs. Weasly jumped up and immediately gave him a hug, asking millions of questions. Ron stopped her and said, "Mum, Mum, Mum! I decided to come for Christmas. After all, I haven't seen you all in such a long time so I brought some of my work here to finish up and spend the holidays with my family. I must be hearing things…I heard Ginny say she was pregnant…" He saw the grim expressions and Ginny said, "No, Ron…it's true. I'm pregnant." Ron gasped for breath and looked at Harry. His eyes showed his anger and he lunged toward Harry. Ginny, noticing the anger in Ron's eyes, was quicker and yelled, "Petrificus Totalus!" Ron was put into a Body-Bind and lay stiff on the floor. Ginny looked up to the rest of her family and pointed her wand out saying, "Anyone else want to beat up the father of my baby?" All of her brothers looked from Ron to Ginny and put up their hands saying, "No!" Ginny grabbed Harry's hand and led him up the stairs, Hermione closely following. The Weasly's downstairs heard a door slam.

The Weasly's looked around the room, trying to process the information. Mr. Weasly was first to speak, "Well…er…this is…interesting news…" Fred looked at him and said, "Are you mad? Dad, this is terrible! She's 16!" Mrs. Weasly said, "She is 16 now…but she'll be 17 in February! I don't think we should let this bother us during the holidays!" George answered, "Mum? You're not mad at her for having sex? Unprotected, even? She let this happen! It's her own fault and you're not the least bit angry?"

"Are you out of your mind, George? Of course I'm angry! She had unprotected sex and she got pregnant! I'm definitely angry! I'm just choosing not to let this bother me until after the holidays! After all, what good is being angry? It's already happened! Being angry won't make anything any better!"

Charlie spoke up, "Well I think it's great news! We're going to uncles! Well…er…again, I suppose."

Bill spoke up, "We should be happy for Harry and Ginny. Mum's right. This shouldn't spoil our holidays and it's not like we can change what happened anyway!"

Jill agreed with Bill, "I think Bill's right! We should be happy for them both. What's so wrong with it anyway?"

Tina, Charlie's girlfriend said, "What's wrong with it is that she's under-age, she's still in school, and she's unmarried!"

Jill argued back, "Are you telling me that you and Charlie have never had sex?"

"No, Charlie and I are in love so yes, we have had sex before!"

"Tina! Don't go sharing that personal information with my family!"

"Tina, you and Charlie have had sex, and you're not married! You can't be mad at Ginny for having sex before marriage because you have, too! What makes you say Ginny and Harry aren't in love like you and Charlie? And as for being in school…what does that have to do with anything? The baby won't be born until like July, so she'll be out of school! She's underage now, but she's responsible! If she feels she can handle having a baby at her age, then we should be happy for her and support her!"

Jill got up and walked up the stairs calmly, Bill right behind. They remaining Weasly's heard a door slam and Tina, outraged at Jill's remark, stomped to the front door and slammed it. Charlie looked to his family apologetically and followed Tina out the door. Mr. and Mrs. Weasly looked the remaining Weasly's, Fred, George, and Ron on the floor, stiff. Fred jumped up and walked to the kitchen, murmuring to himself. George went upstairs to the room Fred and him shared. Mrs. Weasly looked around the room and saddened, walked slowly and tiredly up the stairs. Mr. Weasly looked at Ron on the floor and said, "Doesn't anyone want to hear my opinion?" Ron moaned on the floor.

Ginny paced around her room, ranting to Hermione and Harry about her family's problems, "They just don't understand do they? I mean, Harry and I are in love, why can't they accept it and be happy for me? Bill has a child, and they're all happy for him! It's because he's like 28 and married and out of school. It'll be July when the baby is born, and I'll be of age and out of school but have they realized that? No! None of my brothers can be the least bit happy for me! I mean, I've found my soul mate, I think, and I don't think it's fair that they should be angry at me for expressing my love for him! Ron was way out of line! If they're mad at me for that, then screw them! Ron should never try to hurt a friend of mine! I'll kill him if he ever pulls a stunt like that ever again! Or any of my brothers for that matter! I mean, for Merlin's sake!" Harry put his hand over Ginny's mouth and said, "Gin…we get it." Ginny nodded and sat down next to him on the bed and sighed. Hermione spoke up and said, "If it's any consolation, Gin, I'm not exactly sitting in a bed of roses myself. Ron, the one boy I was hoping I would be able to avoid for 2 weeks is now staying in the same house as me. I really didn't want to see him until we got back to school so I could think this whole thing through." Ginny sighed again and said, "When did life become so complicated?" Harry spoke up, "When Hermione and Malfoy got together and you and I had sex."

"You really didn't need to point that out, Harry."

"Sorry."

Ginny gave him a kiss on the cheek in forgiveness and went back to ranting in her mind.

Ron woke up several hours later in the floor of the Burrow's living room. He had had another argument with himself.

"She's pregnant? How can she be pregnant?"

"Must I tell you of the birds and the bees? It's this little thing called sex. You know, that thing you and Hermione did before you found them on the couch together?"

"I'll never forget that day. I miss Hermione like crazy. I wish she would love me back. I'm getting off topic here. Ginny's pregnant?"

"Hate to break it to you mate, but it looks that way."

"One day they're just dating, the next they have sex, and the next we all find out that she's pregnant! This can't be happening! Ginny's too young to be a mother!"

"We're not on the subject of age again, are we? Ginny's 16…she'll be 17 in February. Maybe we should accept that Harry and her are in love, and see what happens."

"Accept it and see what happens? Are you crazy?"

"No, not crazy…I prefer mentally challenged."

"What are you getting at here?"

"If Ginny has the love and respect and the support of her family and friends, then she can make it through this."

Ron realized he was once again having a conversation with himself, and that he was able to move. He got up and walked swiftly towards the stairs, ready to yell at Ginny. Then his stomach growled and he said to himself, "I think that Ginny can wait until after I eat something…"

Ginny woke up early the next morning, feeling pretty good about her current situation. She went into the kitchen in her soft baby blue bathrobe and found Ron, passed out cold on the counter. Ginny tapped him in the arm. When he didn't wake up, she punched his shoulder. He sat up quickly yelling, "Get away from me you 8 legged freaks!" He saw Ginny and her puzzled look and he said, "Spiders were eating me…" Ginny nodded her head and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically. Ron looked at her and took her in, as if just now seeing her.

"Ginny?"

"Yes, Ron?"

"How could you go and pregnant?"

"Excuse me?"

"If you take an Anti-Pregnancy Potion beforehand, you won't get pregnant. It's impossible. Why didn't you do that?"

"Ron…it was my first time…I didn't know that there was a potion…for that kind of thing…"

"You could've asked me, you know?"

"This conversation is awkward enough! How awkward would it have been if I had come to you asking for advice on sex? What the heck would you have done?"

"I would've locked you in your room and killed Harry."

"Exactly! I wasn't going to tell my brother that I wanted to have sex, but I didn't know how to prevent pregnancy! Think about that Ron. Just think about the position I was in." Ginny grabbed a muffin from the table and went back upstairs. Ron stared after her, angry, but too confused to go after her.

Ginny opened the door to Harry's room and sat at the end of the bed, staring at him. He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping. Ginny smiled and got up the bed, moving slowly to him. She kissed his forehead. Harry stirred, but didn't wake. She kissed his cheek and he smiled. She kissed his lips and he finally woke up and kissed her back. They broke apart, smiling at each other.

"That is such a good thing to wake up to in the morning."

Ginny laughed and said, "Thought you'd like it."

Harry laughed with her and they kissed again.

"I'm going to get dressed. Hermione and I are going to get an appointment at St. Mungo's today. You get dressed. I imagine you're going to have a very odd day today, what with everyone knowing our dirty little secret."

She laughed and Harry said, "Actually, I'm going into Diagon Alley today. I want to avoid your family for as long as possible."

Ginny nodded and gave him one more kiss before getting up and heading to her room to get ready for the day. When she was ready, wearing a pair of comfortable jeans and a white hoodie sweatshirt. She knocked on Hermione's door and opened it when she heard Hermione say, "Come in!" Hermione was wearing a pair of jeans and a long sleeve blue shirt. Ginny took a deep breath and said, "Are you ready to go?" Hermione nodded and the two left, Harry shortly after.

Hermione and Ginny entered St. Mungo's and went to the front desk. Ginny smiled sweetly and said, "I'd like an appointment with a Healer for a pregnancy check-up."

"You're awful young, dear!"

"I know…"

The woman smiled apologetically and said, "You're in luck! We just had a cancellation for today. How's 3:30?"

Ginny looked to Hermione, who glanced at her watch and nodded. Ginny said to the woman, "That's fine. I'll see you then." They left St. Mungo's and started shopping, Ginny nervous about the appointment. Ginny and Hermione ended up buying a lot of clothes for themselves that they knew they couldn't wear at school because of their robes and did all of their Christmas shopping. At 3:30, Ginny went back to St. Mungo's with Hermione. She checked in at the front desk and took a seat with Hermione in the busy waiting room.

A few minutes later, Ginny heard her name called and got up to go with the Healer, giving Hermione and anxious smile before leaving. The Healer took her to a room with yellow walls and pink and blue bunnies. The Healer came back in and introduced herself as Hr. Johnson. (A/N- Hr. is an abbreviation of Healer. I got tired of writing Healer this and Healer that, so I shortened it…like Doctor become Dr. Hope it's not confusing!)

The check-up went fine and an hour later Ginny was ready to leave when the Healer came in saying, "I have some news, Miss Weasly." Ginny immediately sat down, worried by the blank expression of the Healer. The Healer said, "I did a spell which speeds the fetus growing process, and so I know what you're going to have. Would you like to know?" Ginny bit her lip but finally nodded, bracing herself.

"Mr. Potter is the father, correct?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Then in about 8 months, July, you and Mr. Potter are going to be the proud parents of two baby girls!"

"That's fantastic!" Ginny jumped up and yelled, not really soaking in what the Healer said other than "girl". After a minute, the words soaked through and Ginny sat back down and said, "Wait…two babies?"

Harry said to the man standing in front of him, "I'm actually looking for a customized one, if that's okay?"

"Of course sir. You need to talk to that lady over there."

Harry thanked him and went over to the lady the man pointed to and she said, "Customization?"

"Yes."

"Well, here are the styles you can choose from, and examples of every kind. You can use these pictures of previously made customizations here and get ideas. You can sit at that table over there and come back when you've decided!"

Harry thanked the woman and sat at a small round table, pouring over the examples and styles, a clear picture of what he wanted in his mind. After 20 minutes, he went back to the woman and told her what he wanted. She wrote up the order, and Harry paid her. As he was leaving she said, "It'll be ready in about 3 business days. We're open until 12 o'clock midnight, Christmas Eve!" Harry thanked the woman again and left the store, thinking to himself, "She'll love it!"

A/N- Okay, for starters, I am SO sorry it took me so long to update. My Internet connection failed, and my parents, the computer nerds, were in Mexico until yesterday, and they couldn't fix it until they got back. 2nd- please review if there are any mistakes! I LOVE to hear if I have any, so I can fix them. Is it St. Mungo's? That sounded right, but I wasn't sure. Petrificus Totalus is the body-bind spell thing, right? Is it spelled right? My computer already thinks I'm crazy with this spelling. 3rd- I love doing the conversations in the head things. This is my 2nd one for this story! 4th- PLEASE review! I love to hear from my readers! It makes my day! Thank you to all my previous reviewers! I love you all so much! You're so fantastic!

Love,

Dangerous Combonation
