Since Ashleigh returned the previous week and found out George was alive, they were inseparable. Always together and shared a bed at night. Once the twins were well enough, they returned to their flat in Diagon Alley and reopened the shop. Ashleigh was going to her aunt's house for a couple weeks and she knew it was gonna be hard, being away from George.

"I'll miss you", George said as she gave him a kiss before flooing to Tracie's house.

"I'll miss you too", she said and disappeared. "I'm here", Ashleigh called out. Ethan came running into the living room and gave her a hug. "Hey bud", she smiled.

"Hi", he smiled back.

"Where's your mom?" Ashleigh asked.

"In the kitchen. She's getting dinner ready". Ashleigh walked into the kitchen and found Tracie setting the table.

"Hey", Tracie said.

"Hi", Ashleigh smiled. "Dinner smells yummy".

"Thank you dear. I'm glad you've come for a visit. We've missed you around here", Tracie told her.

"I've missed you guys too", Ashleigh smiled.

They sat down for dinner and dessert. Afterwards Ashleigh played some muggle video games with Ethan and then went to bed.

The next morning, Ashleigh decided she needed to go to the doctor to make sure of something. She got ready and headed to St. Mungos, just telling her aunt that she had business she needed to take care of. She waited for about an hour before being seen by a healer. Finally a healer came into the room she was placed in and she explained her situation so they ran a couple tests on her. Another twenty minutes went by and she came back with the results.

"You're suspicions and home test were accurate. You are indeed pregnant Miss Scott. Congratulations", she smiled. Ashleigh just sat there, staring into nothingness. She finally looked at the healer.

"How far?" Ashleigh whispered.

"It looks like you're about 3 months along", she told her. She gave her all the information she needed and told her what pills/vitamins she needed to take and made her an appointment for her first scan in a few weeks.

She was completely in a daze when she went home. She went straight to her room. She didn't know how she would tell George or how it even happened. She practically lived with the twins, so obviously things were going to happen but she wracked her brain and couldn't remember a single time where they didn't use a contraceptive charm. She laid down and eventually she fell asleep.

Tracie woke her up a few hours later for dinner. Tracie could see something was wrong and asked her about it. But she wasn't gonna force her if Ashleigh didn't want to talk about it. She just encouraged her to talk to someone, whether it be with her, Hermione or George.

The next two weeks went by rather slowly and Ashleigh still couldn't figure out how to tell George that she was three months pregnant. She was due to return to the twins' flat that afternoon and she was excited to see George, but was scared about how he would react. Ashleigh showered and packed up her stuff, leaving it in the living room while she got some lunch. An hour later and she was standing in the twins' flat but they weren't there. She assumed they were in the shop, so she went down there.

She went down the stairs into the joke shop and found it packed with customers. She walked through the crowd, looking for one or both of the twins. She finally found Fred helping a few younger kids pick out some pranks.

"Hey you", Fred smiled, giving Ashleigh a friendly hug.

"Hey. Have you seen George?" She asked.

"I think he's in the back room".

"Okay, thanks", Ashleigh smiled and headed to the back room. George was indeed in there, with his back to the door. So she walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around him.

"Hey, you're back", he smiled after turning to see her. He hugged her back before kissing her lightly on the lips.

"Yeah, what time are you closing today?"

"Same time, 6:00", he smiled. Ashleigh nodded. "Why?"

"I need to talk to you about something important. But I don't want to bother you while you're working", she told him.

"Are you sure?" He asked. She nodded. George didn't like the sound of what she had said, he thought that she was gonna break up with him but he didn't know why. Ashleigh went upstairs and started to plan what she'd make herself and the twins for dinner. Once she had decided she started preparing it. The boys wouldn't be home for another couple hours, but it would take a while for dinner to be ready. At 6:00, Fred came into the flat, just as she was serving dinner.

"George is just closing up, he'll be here in a few", Fred told her as he washed his hands. "Smells great", he added, sitting down.

"Thank you", she smiled. George came in a few minutes later, washed up and joined them at the table.

"Looks great", he told Ashleigh.

"Thank you", she smiled. He could tell something was off and bothering her.

"So what did you wanna talk about?" He asked, digging into his food.

"I'd rather talk about it privately, after dinner", she told him. He nodded and continued eating. After dinner, Ashleigh disappeared to George's room.

"What's going on?" Fred whispered.

"I haven't got a clue", George whispered back and then went to his room, shutting the door behind him. Ashleigh cast a silencing charm on the room and sat on the bed, anxiously bouncing her leg up and down. "Ashleigh, what's going on?"

"You might want to sit down", she whispered. He did so and took her hands in his.

"Ashleigh?" He asked, after seeing tears start to fall.

"I didn't mean for it to happen, I swear. It just did and I don't know what to do", she babbled as the tears fell harder.

"Please slow down. Tell me what's going on", she looked him right in the eye and didn't know how to say it. She didn't want to ruin his life at the ripe age of 20 and especially when his career as a business owner is still taking off.

"You're gonna hate me", she whispered.

"I could never hate you", he said, wrapping his arms around her. "But you're really starting to scare me".

"I… I'm".

"You're what?"

"Pregnant", she whispered before getting up and running out of the bedroom.

"Ashleigh, wait!" George called and ran after her. Fred was just sitting in the living room wondering what happened. George kept running after her and calling her name. She ran out the front door, down the stairs and into Diagon Alley. George was almost caught up to her when she disapparated.

"George, what's going on?" Fred asked, running out the door behind him.

"I have to go find her", George said, disapparating. He landed in the living room of Tracie's home, figuring this was where Ashleigh went. "Is Ashleigh here?" George asked Ethan.

"Yeah, she was upset so mum went to see what was wrong", Ethan told her. George nodded and went upstairs and to Ashleigh's room. He knocked on the door and heard Tracie tell him to come in.

"She won't talk to me. I know something's been bothering her, but I haven't been able to get her to talk to me", Tracie explained as George walked in.

"It's okay, I'll talk to her. I know what's going on", George told her.

"Thank goodness she at least talked to someone. Thank you George", Tracie said, leaving the room.

"Ashleigh, I'm coming under the covers", he told her. She was completely under the covers and he could tell that she was crying. He lifted up the covers and laid beside her. He tried wrapping his arms around her but she moved away.

"Please don't", she mumbled.

"Ashleigh, I don't hate you, I could never hate you. It's just as much my fault as it is yours. Look at me", he said, pulling her a little so she'd roll over and face him. Finally after a few minutes she looked at him. He wiped her tears away. "We're in this together… We will get through this together", he told her, pulling her into his chest, this time she allowed it. "I love you… Always and forever".

"Promise?" She asked. Her voice was so small and weak, it sounded like she was five years old again.

"Of course I promise", he said, kissing the top of her head.

"I love you too", Ashleigh whispered. "Always and forever".
