Chapter 5

When they arrived, they were greeted at the door by none other than… "Nikki? Hey, what are you doing here?" Ron asked as he & April walked inside the house. "Well Ronald, Ruby is my adorable niece," she said as she took the gift off Ron & placed it on a table alongside the others. "Where are Ruby's parents? Shouldn't they be watching over the party?" Nikki shook her head, "They're on vacation & I'm looking after her," Nikki said as they joined a group of children. "Ok kids, who wants to play a game?" Nikki asked & all the kids cheered. So Ron helped her set up for musical chairs.

After a few more games & food the party was over & all the kids left. "Thanks for helping with the party." Nikki said while she & Ron were cleaning up, "No problem," Ron replied picking up the last piece of rubbish. "Well, its 2pm, me & April should head back now," Ron said, picking up April & heading out the door. Nikki followed & when Ron turned to say goodbye, Nikki leaned in to kiss Ron on the cheek but, at the last minute she pressed her lips hard against his, but he didn't pull away. After they broke apart, Ron heard something he didn't expect to hear.

"Ron?" Ron looked down the driveway & saw Hermione standing there with watery eyes. "Hermione, babe… it's not what it looks like," Ron started, "HOW COULD YOU?" she yelled when she was face to face with him. Ron didn't know what to say, she wouldn't believe him if he told her that Nikki came onto him. Hermione took April off Ron & glared at him. "You bastard & you…" Hermione said pointing to Nic-hore-lette, "You're a dirty whore-bag! Goodbye Ronald," she said as she disapparated, leaving Ron behind.

When Hermione arrived home, she began to pack a few things like clothes for her and April. Two minutes later Ron arrived home, "Hermio- what are you doing?" he asked when he saw Hermione zipping up a suitcase. "April & I are going to stay with Harry & Ginny for awhile," she said simply, "Why? You can't seriously think I came onto her, you know I wouldn't do that," he said desperately. "IT DOESN'T MATTER IF SHE KISSED YOU! DID YOU PUSH HER AWAY? NO! YOU KISSED HER RIGHT INFRONT OF YOUR WIFE & DAUGHTER!" Hermione yelled. Ron could see tears in her eyes. "Look babe, I'm sorry," he said, his own eyes stinging with tears. "Go ruin your family see if I care," she said with no emotion, "Hermione, quit acting like a bitch! Why don't you trust me?" he yelled, walking over to her. 'Oh crap! Wrong thing to say! Damn!' he thought, as Hermione stopped zipping up the suitcase. "Wait… I'm sorry it just came out," he said, but it was too late Hermione slapped him across the face with all her might. After a moment she spoke. "Bye Ron, sorry about slapping you," she said & before he could reply she & April were gone. He sat on the couch & felt his cheek; it hurt like all hell, now he knew how Malfoy must've felt back in their 3rd year. Ron didn't know what to do, he didn't want to lose her he loved her to much for that. Yet he couldn't go after her right now, unless he wanted his right cheek to match his left.

Meanwhile, Hermione landed in Harry & Ginny's home, with April. "GINNY! HARRY!" Hermione yelled, as Harry & Ginny came into the lounge room. "Mione, what's wrong?" asked Harry, as Ginny took April over to Matt & Rachel. Hermione wiped her eyes, "That whore kissed Ron! What's worse is he didn't stop her," she said tears appearing again. "Mione, look you can stay with us until you & Ron work this out, alright?" said Harry sympathetically, giving Hermione a hug. "I'll take your stuff to the guest room & set up a crib for April in Rachel & Matt's room, ok?" said Harry. "Thanks," she said as he left. Ginny sat next to her, "What happened?" she asked softly. Hermione took a deep breath & told Ginny about the events of the day.

"That bastard, & as for Nic-hore-lette, I'd like her show her," she Ginny after Hermione had told her the story. "Gin, I slapped him! I feel terrible," Hermione said, with her head in her hands, "Well, he shouldn't have called you a bitch. That bloody prat," Ginny said. Then Ginny smiled widely, "I've got some news that'll make you happier," Ginny said, Hermione smiled. "Ok, you can't tell Harry 'coz he doesn't know yet, I'm like 5 months pregnant!" she squealed, Hermione had noticed Ginny was getting bigger, but didn't want to say anything incase she wasn't pregnant. "As if Harry hasn't noticed!" Hermione said happily. "I'm serious, he's totally clueless! I'm gonna tell him tonight," she gushed, rubbing her tummy. Hermione hugged Ginny, "Congratulations Gin!" she said, she was so happy for Ginny & Harry.

That night after they'd had dinner & put the kids to bed, Hermione, Ginny & Harry were sitting in the lounge room talking about different topics. Finally the topic rolled around to April, Matt & Rachel. "So are you gonna let Ron see April?" Harry asked, Hermione nodded, "Yes, it's not April's fault we're fighting. If she wants to see him, she can." Hermione didn't want to cut Ron out of April's life & hopefully she'd be with Ron again soon. "Have you & Ron ever thought of having more kids?" asked Ginny hoping, Hermione would asked them.

"Uh, we thought about it but for now, we're waiting for April to get older, but if we're still together further down the track, yer we'll have another kid." Hermione caught on when Ginny kicked her under the coffee table. "Oh, are you two planning on more kids?" Hermione asked, looking at Harry. Harry shrugged, "Yer, having more kids would be great," he answered, Ginny grinned. "Harry! Guess what?" she said excitedly, "Oh god you're pregnant aren't you?" Harry grinned triumphantly, Ginny nodded. Harry lifted Ginny & spun her around, then kissed her. "This is great! Is it a boy or a girl?" he asked, acting like a giddy school girl. "I don't wanna tell you," she teased him, "C'mon Gin!" he said jumping up & down. She giggled, "It's a… drum roll please Mione," Hermione made a drum sound on the coffee table, "Ok, I don't know," she said. Harry went nuts! "OH WELL! WHO CARES! YOU'RE PREGNANT!" Harry got up on the table & did a 'dance', while Ginny & Hermione were in stitches with laughter. "What are you going to call it?" Hermione asked once Harry ha re-joined them. "I like Liam, Damien & Adam, for a boy. For a girl Emma, Rhiarn or Danielle" said Ginny, "I like Damien & Liam & Rhiarn & Emma" said Harry. Hermione smiled, "Why don't you call it Damien Liam Potter if it's a boy & Emma Rhiarn Potter if it's a girl," Ginny said, Harry & Hermione nodded.

After a bit more small talk Hermione headed to bed. "Thanks for letting April & I stay here," she said yawning, "No problem," said Harry. "Good night," Hermione said. Before going to bed Hermione checked April. April was lying on her back & had her thumb in her mouth, 'that kid has to stop sucking her thumb soon,' Hermione thought as she walked to the guest room & fell asleep.

The next morning Hermione was prodded awoke by Harry. "Yes?" she asked groggily. Harry bit his lip, "Uh… Ron's here, do you want me to send him in?" Harry asked, as Hermione sat up & nodded. Harry walked out & in walked Ron. "Uh, hey Mione, how you going?" Ron asked as Hermione got out of bed. "Fine, yourself?" Hermione asked putting on a pair of jeans & a black halter top. "Good… actually that's a lie. Hermione I can't sleep at night without you there. I need to be with you & April to protect you guys," Ron said sitting on the end of the bed. Hermione bit her lip, "Ron, I can look after myself & April just fine. Plus Harry & Ginny can help me," Hermione said, sitting next to Ron. There was silence for awhile, then Hermione opened her mouth to talk, but she was cut off by a knock at the door.

Hermione got up & opened the door, to reveal Ginny. "Hey Ron, um Harry & I are taking Matt & Rachel to the park, would you like us to take April too?" Ginny asked, as April walked into the room & ran to Ron. "DA!" she screamed at she sat on is lap & hugged him. Hermione & Ginny watched for a minute. "April, do want to go to the park with Matt & Rachel?" Hermione asked April blinking back tears. April nodded vigorously, "Yes pwease!" she said walking over to Ginny who picked her up. "Alright, we'll be back in an hour or so, ok? Cya," said Ginny, "Bye April, cya Gin," said Hermione, April blew a kiss to Hermione as a goodbye. Within minutes Ginny, Harry & the kids were gone & the house was dead quiet. "Do you want some coffee?" Hermione asked breaking the silence. Ron nodded & got up & followed Hermione to the kitchen.

When Hermione glanced at Ron her eyes widened; there was a black & blue bruise where she'd slapped him yesterday. "Oh my god, Ron I am so sorry, let me fix that," Hermione said getting out her wand, "No, it's a good reminder not to be a prat," said Ron calmly. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"So, why are you here?" Hermione asked, as she brought the two coffees over to the table & sat down. "I thought that was obvious," Ron took a breath. "Hermione, you & April have to come home, I miss you," he said, looking down at the table. Hermione could've sworn there were tears in Ron's eyes, but there had gone as quick as they'd come. "Ron I can't just come back because you miss me. I mean I'm not sure if I even trust you anymore," Hermione said, feeling a pain in her heart once she said this. This obviously hurt Ron too because he ran his hands through his hair & said "Oh." Hermione had to say something, "It's not that I don't love you, it's just after yesterday I feel like if you find someone better than me, you'll leave me & go off with her," Hermione shuddered at the thought of Ron running off with some prissy girl.

"You know I'd never do that! You don't give me enough credit Hermione, I trust you! Have a little faith in me," Ron said the heat rising to his face & his voice getting louder. "How can I have faith in you, when I can't even trust you to be alone with another girl?" Hermione yelled her anger getting the better of her. "Because I love you & you love me," Ron said matching her voice level & going red. "I tell you what Ron, I'm not loving you right now!" she yelled her cheeks going pink. Then they started yelling so loudly& quickly at each other it was hard to understand what they were saying.
