Hola chicas y chicos! No, I do not speak Spanish. I am merely taking it as a foreign language class. I wish they offered Parseltongue as a forgeign language...It would be more fun. Let's see how much I know...

Hisss! Pshaashhhhhhhh...Ssssnaky...Emerika lovesssss Harry Potter...

Wow. That was surprisingly easy! Well, this chapter is a fairly good length and it has lots of good drama in it. In chapter 9, I want to have a lot of stuff in there so it should be long. Anyway, here is the chapter you waited so long for.

THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING, TO ALL THAT DID! hugs!

I'm writing a Lily/James two or three shot. I am liking it so far. But I won't be posting it till later.

Chapter Eight- I have a secret to tell

We have all hear of how time flies when we're having fun. Well this week dragged on for what seemed like a month's time. As the sun rose so did Ginny…and whatever she had had for dinner the other night.

"Ginny? Are you all right?" Hermione knocked softly on the bathroom door one morning.

"I'm Fi—" but she was cut off by a wave of nausea. Hermione stepped in and pulled Ginny's hair back. Hermione softly patted her back. Ginny sat up and put her dizzy head in her hands.

"This isn't fun…" she whispered into her palms. Hermione placed an arm around her quivering shoulders.

"You have to tell Harry…"

Ginny nodded. "I'll tell him…today. I think Mum is getting suspicious." She pulled herself off of the floor with the help of Hermione. Together they brushed their teeth and changed for the day.

The two of them headed downstairs for breakfast where they saw Fred waiting by the stairs.

"Hermione! I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the village with me." Fred said rubbing the back of his neck. Hermione beamed.

"Do you really have to ask?" He held out his hand, which she took and they disappeared with a crack. Ginny headed down towards the kitchen, but when she turned the corner she ran smack dab into Harry. Her forehead smacked against his with a painful thwack!

"Harry! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" Ginny said examining the bump.

"Yeah, I'm fine, you?" Ginny's head did hurt quite a bit. In response she dragged Harry to the bathroom and told him to sit. She then put a damp cloth to the bump.

"Hold that there. The swelling should go down…" Harry obeyed.

HARRY POV

Harry watched as Ginny bustled around the bathroom looking for bandages.

"Ginny…" he began.

"What?" She said not moving her eyes from the cupboard. Harry took her hand and pulled her onto his lap.

"You're so beautiful," He whispered into her ear. She smiled lightly and put the cloth back on his head.

"You're delusional. Keep that on your head." She was denying it again.

"Yes ma'am," Ginny plopped herself on the counter next to him, "You'll be a very good mother someday. You already take care of me very well." Harry slipped his arm around her waist. He felt her tense up.

"What?" She shook her head. "Gin, what's wrong?" She took a deep breath then let it out slowly.

"Nothing. I'll tell you later."

She was hiding something. "Yes you will. Now let's get you something to eat." After gently lifting her off the counter, Harry took her hand and strolled into the kitchen where the sweet smell of pancakes hung in the air.

GINNY'S POV

(Later that day)

Tonight.

Tonight at dinner she would spill everything. No exceptions.

"Mum? What's for dinner?" Ginny said casually.

"I'm whipping up something special. The whole family will be here you know!" Ginny's head snapped up.

"What? Even Charlie?" Ginny said, surprised. Mrs. Weasley nodded, tending to the delisious smelling food she was making.

"Why?" Why in the name of Merlin would Charlie be coming in? Charlie only came for huge things! Ginny almost gasped as a terrible thought smacked her across the face. What if they already knew? What if everyone had figured it out, just as Hermione had, and was just waiting for her to fess up before they explode?

"Oh, just for a special treat. He'll be here anytime now!" Mrs. Weasley gave her a smile that clearly said that she knew something Ginny didn't. Ginny's heart was beating faster and faster and her breath was coming in short takes. Harry looked over at her, concerned.

"Are you okay?" Harry put a hand on her shoulder. Ginny nodded and stood up. She had to talk to Hermione. She was at the foot of the stairs when she remembered she was with Fred. Damn that Fred! She turned around in panic, ready to go to the tire swing, when she ran right into Harry. She almost fell over, but Harry caught her arms and steadied her.

"Ginny, something is wrong with you. I don't know what it is, but you just about had a panic attack in there." Harry said, still holding her steady. Ginny was looking wildly around. I need Hermione! Her mind screamed. Harry placed his hands on the sides of her head and turned her to face him.

"Gin, calm down. You're going to hyperventilate. What's got you so worked up?" Ginny looked into his eyes. Maybe now was the time…She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. Trying again, she managed to get something out.

"I'm…" Just then, Hermione and Fred came through the front door behind Harry, laughing and smiling adoringly at each other. Ginny ran forward and grabbed Hermione's wrist. She marched her upstairs and into their room. Hermione turned to her scared looking friend.

"What's going on?" Hermione said, watching Ginny pace her usual spot in the room.

"They know! All of them!" Hermione furrowed her eyebrows.

"What makes you think that? I was just with Fred and he seemed fine." Ginny paced faster, back and forth.

"Charlie is coming in tonight! Charlie! He never takes off work unless there is something important! And Mum gave this look that just screamed 'I know something!'" Hermione gasped. Ginny stopped her pacing. That wasn't a 'oh my gosh, you're right' gasp. That was an Hermione-ish 'I've just realized something' gasp.

"What? Hermione, you know something too! What is everyone keeping from me!" Ginny shouted. Hermione walked up to her hugged her.

"It's okay Ginny! You're still telling them tonight even if they do know!" Hermione said beaming at her. "Which they don't," She added at the look on her face. Ginny sighed.

"Well I have to anyway. I must be clsoe to 3 months now. I'm starting to show," Ginny said examining her belly, which was indeed getting a very small bump. Hermione bent very close to her belly.

"Just barely though..." Hermione started smiling. "I bet baby Potter can hear me…Hi! This is Auntie Hermione! You're a very lucky child to have Ginny as your Mummy!" Ginny laughed and stood her upright.

"You're a goof." Ginny said laughing. Hermione started to laugh too.

"Did you just call me a goof?" Ginny hit her on the shoulder.

"Yes, I did! I think it suits you at this moment too!" There was a knock at the door.

"Ginny! Are you in there?" came a voice from the other side of the door. Ginny opened it and gasped in excitement.

"CHARLIE!" Ginny squealed as she threw her arms around him.

"Hey, Ginny!" Charlie picked her up and spun her around.

"Mum sent me to tell you that dinner is ready," He said ruffling her hair. Ginny smiled at him.

"Okay, I'll be down in a minute." Ginny closed the door behind him slowly. Once it closed she whipped around to face Hermione.

"Oh my God, I can't do this!" Ginny shouted, resuming her pacing. Hermione seized her shoulders and stopped her pacing.

"Yes-you-can." Hermione's stare penetrated Ginny's eyes. Ginny's mind was absolutely roaring with thoughts and stress and and sadness and even more stress. And now she was annoyed at Hermione. She didn't understand!

"No! I CAN'T! Hermione, I'm scared!" Ginny shouted, tears welling her eyes. "I can't raise a CHILD! Not now! Not in this war! WHAT ABOUT THIS WAR? Where will we live? What will we eat? What about money? This is HARRY POTTER'S CHILD! Don't you think she's at the TINIEST bit of risk? WHAT IF HE LEAVES ME AGAIN? I-I-I don't know what to do!" Ginny collapsed on her bed and let the tears fall. On the other side of the room Hermione was staring blankly at the door, her mouth open. Ginny sat up quickly and slightly scared at the look on her friend's face.

"Hermione, what—" Ginny began looking towards the door. He voice failed her halfway through her sentence. There in the doorway stood Harry, eye's wide and pale, clutching the doorway stiffly.

"W-When did you come in?" Ginny said quietly, pulling her knees to her chest. Harry opened his mouth, closed it, and tried again.

"A-At the 'This is Harry…'" he trailed away. Ginny buried her face in her hands. The old mattress sagged a little more. Harry had joined her.

"So that's what you weren't telling me." Harry said. Ginny nodded into her hands, her face wet from tears. She took a shuddering breath.

"S-Somehow everyone knew. Mum's invited the whole f-family to dinner and gave me this 'I know s-something' look!" Harry let his breath out slowly. Hermione stood up.

"I think I'll leave…" she murmured before closing the door. Harry put his arm around her waist. Ginny couldn't help but feel warmer inside. He was still by her side…

"Harry…" Ginny started, looking into his green eyes. "What am I going to do?" Harry furrowed his eyebrows.

"You mean 'What are we going to do?'" Ginny's lips curved into a smile.

"Hey Gin…Before you said 'Don't you think she's at risk.' It's a girl?" Ginny blinked. She hadn't really thought about it. She had just broken down and shouted what was in her mind.

"I…I honestly don't know," Ginny said, absentmindedly stroking her belly. Harry smiled at her.

"Woman's intuition?" Harry said with a chuckle. Ginny nodded in reply. There was silence for what may have been hours, but Ginny knew it wasn't.

"It's okay," Harry broke the silence. Ginny looked up at him. "What is?" Harry turned so he was completely facing her.

"This, us, the baby. Godric's Hollow still has the Fidelius Charm on it. We can live there. As for money…I think I have us covered. The war is something everyone has to deal with. But…you should probably stay in the house. Don't let anyone see," She nodded. He was right. She should stay inside. What would happen if a Death Eater saw her once she began to really show? Harry tightned his hold on her waist. He looked down to his knees and ran a hand through his hair.

"I…I was going to ask you to marry me tonight. I think we both planned on kids…This is just a little earlier than we expected." Ginny's eyes had been empty of tears for a while now, but they had quickly found the route to her eyes.

"You were going to ask me to marry you?" She whispered, her voice was slightly high-pitched and she almost couldn't talk from the grin that had moved to her lips. Harry ran a hand through his hair again and reached into his pocket. Ginny sucked in her breath and tried to keep herself from squealing and jumping up and down. Harry stood knelt down in front of her. Ginny's hands went to her mouth. She whispered, "Harry…" into her fingers.

"I had planned to ask you later on tonight, but I guess the time jumped out at me. I know we're still young, but that's more time for us, huh? I love you Gin, more than you will ever know. I don't know how long it is going to take to figure out how much I actually do love you, but I'm willing to spend forever to figure it out. Ginny, will you marry me?" Harry opened the little black box she use to see in her day-dreams. But this was real. This little silver-band set with a square diamond was proof to her. Harry Potter was asking her to be his wife.

The tears were falling fast and thick, but she couldn't care less. She was going to marry Harry Potter and no one was going to stop her. She had lost herself in the moment before her senses hit her on the head and told her that Harry was still kneeling on the floor. Ginny hastily wiped away her tears.

"Yes! Yes, I'll marry you!" She pulled Harry to his feet and threw her arms around him. Harry slid his arms around her in a very gentle way.

"Harry, the baby's not going to die if you hug me a little tighter." Ginny said with a watery laugh. Harry grinned down at her. He placed his hands on the sides of her face and kissed her.

"I love you," Ginny whispered, "You have no idea how happy I am that you are happy about this baby. And now…I'm going to be Mrs. Harry Potter!" Finally giving up her dignity she pulled away from Harry and began to jump around in circles.

The door burst open and Hermione can running in beaming and crying. She hugged Harry briefly saying,

"I knew you could do it!"

Hermione turned to Ginny. They just stood there, not saying anything for a few seconds, just beaming at each other. But at the same time, the girls squealed and hugged each other tightly.

"Your mum sent me up to tell you to that dinner was getting cold, but I knew Harry was going to propose so I…I listened at the door, to be honest.," Hermione said in a rushed tone and a sheepish smile. Hermione hugged her tightly while saying in a high-pitched voice, "Oh, Ginneeee!"

Ginny squeezed her friend back. Hermione gave her a serious look. "Now about the baby…when are you going to tell the family?" Ginny groaned. Her eyes shifted to Harry's. He raised his eyebrows at her in a 'whatever you want to do' way. Ginny sighed.

"Tomorrow at breakfast, we will tell them."
