But you know, you know, you know
It seemed to take an eternity for the person to turn around, but the instant he did, Hermione recognized his bright blue eyes anf freckled skin, not to mention the lopsided smile that he only used for her. Hands clasped to her mouth, bouquet dropped noisily to the ground, Hermione practically jumped down the steps and in to his waiting arms. As soon as they touched, a small sob escaped from Hermione. Ron just held her tightly, running a hand through her hair.
"I'm missed you so much." She cried, more tears falling and ruining they makeup Ginny had spent so much time on.
"I missed you too." Ron replied, tears falling from his own eyes. "I am so sorry.
Hermione pulled away far enough from him so she could look straight into his eyes. "It's ok." She replied with a teary smile.
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
"Oh, Ron." Hermione sighed as a new wave of tears began to fall " it was horrible, living with you gone and the girls –"
Ron put a finger to her lips, gently shushing her. "It's ok. I'm here now and I won't ever leave you again." Then after a long pause he added, "I'm really sorry you had to go through all that. I would have home sooner, I swear, but the Death Eaters, they kidnapped me and -"
"No don't." Hermione pleaded. She wouldn't be able to stand knowing what the Death Eaters did to him, not when she hadn't seen him in three years. "And I forgive you. I know it wasn't your fault at all.
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Hermione lifted her head and stared into his eyes once more. "I never believed you were dead." She whispered.
"I'm glad." He replied, leaning down to kiss her. Their lips where only inches apart when suddenly Hermione remembered something. "I'll be right back." She whispered, pulling away from his embrace.
She opened the doors of the church, passed the lobby and began to quickly walk down the aisle. By the time the piano player had started to play traditional "Here Comes the Bride" Hermione was more than halfway to the alter.
"Charlie, I'm really sorry, but I cant marry you." she whispered into his ear.
"Why not?"
"Well, I can't marry you because my husband is still alive." She could see Ginny slapping a hand to her face.
"Daddy!" Hermione heard Dana and Sophie yell at the same time. A collective gasp was heard as all heads turned towards the back of the church. Apparently, Ron had tried to sneak into the church. He noticed that he failed, however, as most of the church rushed towards him.
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
After most of the church had had their turn at hugging Ron, he began to look for Hermione. It had been awhile since he last saw her. then he found her, bending over a small boy.
"Who's this?" he asked, walking up behind them. Hermione smiled and stood up. Then she turned to face him. "He's got the Weasley hair." He remarked. "So which one of my brothers had kid?"
"Guess." She replied, "but I'll give you a few hints. He's two and a half, he was born after the Death Eaters attacked the Auror camp, he loves Quidditch, and his name is Ben."
"Ben, weren't we planning on naming a son that." then realization hit. Ron stared awe-sturck at Ben..
"Ron, meet your son." Hermione said, with the happiest grin on his face.
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
The rest of the night was spent in pure bliss. During both the slow and the fast songs, Hermione and Ron held each other close, except for when the kids would join in and dance with them. Instantly the girls had become their normal selves. Dana's grin never left her face, and Sophie didn't say a mean word all night. And Ben looked the happiest he had ever been. The Weasleys, especially Ginny and Harry, each came up to them at least once, and thoroughly apologized for not believing Hermione. Even Charlie came up to them. Even though he was smiling, his smile still showed that he was sad. But he acted happy as he gave Hermione and Ron the plane tickets and a slip for a hotel room. "it was going to be the honeymoon, but you two can have it." he explained weakly.
Hermione kissed him on the cheek "you'll find the right girl one day," she assured him.
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
"wake up." Hermione whispered gently shaking Ron.
"What is it?" he asked groggily, sitting up and stretching.
"Come see." she said. She grabbed his hand and pulled him to the open window. "Its the sun rise! Its beautiful!" Ron laughed at his wife for wkaing him up for such a frivolous thing, but he followed her anyway. She had her back to him, and he wrapped his arms around her, wresting his chin and her shoulder.
"Never leave me again." She muttered, her voice barely audible.
Ron kissed her shoulder. "Never" he agreed
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
