Ginny felt as though a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Everyone knew about her pregnancy, Draco was fine with it, and now she was too.
When Ginny and Draco had emerged from her bedroom, her family was still sitting in the kitchen. For the first time in her life she noticed they were speechless, completely silent. Ginny and Draco were both thankful for this. They grabbed Luke from the living room, and flooed back to their house without a word to anyone.
Luke noticed immediately that something was wrong, but with the way his parents were looking at each other he wasn't quite sure what it could be. They looked happy not sad, they were smiling and making eyes at each other. Luke wasn't sure what to make of it. He was his father's son without a doubt, very curious and impatient.
He waved his hands frantically, until his parents were forced to look at him. He rolled his eyes once he finally had their attention, much like Draco would.
"Mum, Dad? What is going on?" he asked.
Ginny and Draco glanced at one another before leading Luke to the couch. He looked up at them in confusion, wondering what could possibly be causing such strange behavior.
"Luke," Ginny said kneeling down in front of him, "Remember how we talked about things changing around here?"
He nodded, "Things have changed since Dad moved in," he said smiling.
"They certainly have, buddy" Draco said, "And we're about to have some more changes soon."
Luke looked from his father to his mother, and then back to his mother. What were they talking about?
"Honey, we're going to have a baby," Ginny said.
Ginny was suddenly overcome with nervousness, she hadn't thought about how Luke might react to hearing the news. Her nerves were calmed, however, the moment a big grin broke out on his face.
"I'm going to be a big brother?" he asked excitedly.
Both Ginny and Draco nodded in response, and Luke jumped up in excitement hugging them both. Ginny laughed and Draco scooped Luke up in his arms, ruffling his hair. Luke giggled, squirming around in Draco's arms trying to get released.
"Dad, you have to put me down now," he said seriously.
Draco arched a brow at this.
"And why do I have to put you down?" he asked.
"Because I have to get everything ready for when the baby comes," he responded.
Draco set Luke back down on the floor, looking at him quizically.
"Luke, the baby isn't coming today," he said, hiding a smile.
"Why not?" he asked.
Draco looked over at Ginny, who was attempting to cover her laughing with a cough.
"Come here Luke," she said patting the spot next to her on the couch.
Luke sat down next to his mother and she wrapped an arm around him. Ginny took his hand and placed it on her belly.
"Sweetheart, the baby is inside here," she said, "Just like the baby that is growing inside Aunt Hermione."
"But her belly is really big," he said.
"That's because the baby is getting bigger as it grows. Soon my tummy will be as big as Hermione's."
"So when will the baby be here?" he asked.
"Around nine months," Ginny answered.
"Nine months? That's almost a year," he said clearly saddened.
"Yes it is, but the time will pass by quickly," she promised.
"Okay," he said rising from the couch and heading to his bedroom.
"But I want a little brother, no girls," Luke added before walking into his room.
Draco laughed at his son, taking his place on the couch next to Ginny.
"Well I disagree," he said.
"About what?" Ginny asked.
"About having a boy, I want a little girl," he said pulling Ginny towards him.
"I don't really think you have a say in the matter," Ginny said laughing.
"Well I can still hope for a girl, can't I?" he asked pouting.
"Yes, you can," she said as though she were speaking to her son rather than her husband, "But you do realize that with our family histories-"
"Yes, yes I know," he interrupted, "But that doesn't mean anything."
Ginny was having a very difficult time controlling her laughter. Here was Draco Malfoy, the supposed cold Slytherin, talking about how badly he wants a little girl to spoil. It was too sweet, and absolutely hilarious to see the seriousness written all over his face.
"What may I ask is so funny?"
"I just had no idea that having a baby girl was so important to you," she responded.
"Is it too much to ask to have a little red head girl, covered in freckles from head to toe, and as cute as a button? A child to resemble the woman I love?"
Ginny blushed prettily before hugging him and kissing his cheek.
"Oh, you are just the sweetest thing," she said continuing to plant kisses on his face.
"Just between us Gin, I wouldn't want this to ruin my reputation."
"Oh of course not," she said suppressing laughter once again.
Draco claimed her lips and Ginny was sure that she had never been happier. He layed her back into the couch, trailing kisses down her neck. They became so wrapped up in their own activities that they did not hear the sharp sound of apparation. They did, however, hear the rather loud cough.
"Mother!" Ginny said in shock, attempting to right herself on the couch.
She glanced over at Draco who looked extremely put out by such an interruption. Ginny returned her attention to her mother, unsure of what she was here to say. Her unexpected visit most likely had something to do with the happenings at the Burrow, along with Ginny's little announcement. Ginny was even more shocked when a second 'pop' resounded throughout the living room and Ron now stood beside her mother. Ginny cast her eyes at Draco once again, only to see his face tighten and his fingers dig into the couch. Ginny had no idea what to make of this situation, but things were certainly about to get interesting.
