Chapter 13: A surprise for the Weasleys
Ginny woke up Sunday morning feeling very ill for some reason. She didn't want to wake Draco just yet, but she practically jumped out of bed and ran towards the bathroom and threw up, which surprised her.
Draco of course woke up and went into the bathroom to comfort Ginny, "What's wrong?"
Ginny flushed the toilet, washed her face and sat on the floor, "I am not sure."
Draco looked very worried and sat down on the floor next to her, "Do you want to send an owl to St. Mungos for a Healer?"
Ginny smiled at how concerned he sounded and replied, "No I'll be alright. It's probably something I ate."
Draco quirked his eyebrow and said, "Okay, but if this continues in a few hours I am going to send a Healer to take a look at you, before we come and see your family."
"Okay," said Ginny. She brushed her teeth to get that awful taste out of her mouth and sat on the edge of the bed. She looked around and Draco wasn't in the bedroom anymore, 'maybe he's in the kitchen.'
Ginny had this funny feeling in her stomach (besides the motion sickness feeling) that she knew it wasn't something that she ate, she just hopes that she's wrong. The redhead thought about is some more and realized she hasn't had her period for while. Then she gasped because she was supposed to have it last week, 'oh my gosh I am late!' she thought, 'okay Gin calm down just wait a couple days and if nothing happens, you know why.' Ginny just hopes that her throwing up problem won't continue.
Let's just say the problem continued, continued, and continued. Ginny has been running to the bathroom like every half hour. Draco got fed up about it and said to Ginny, "That's it I am writing a letter to St. Mungos."
Ginny cleaned her self up and ran over to Draco, "No! I mean—nothing is wrong, I promise."
"Well if nothing's wrong then why are you keep throwing up?"
Ginny sat at the nearest chair and took a deep breath, "Okay, the reason why I think I am throwing up, is because I think I am pregnant."
Ginny said that last part very quietly and Draco wasn't sure if he heard right, "You're what?"
"I think I am pregnant," she repeated a little louder.
"Really?" And what surprised Ginny was that he didn't sound mad at all.
"You're not mad? I mean it is pretty unexpected---"
But she got cut off, "Mad? Why would I be mad? This is the greatest gift any one could ever give me."
Draco knelt down beside her and kissed her lips very tenderly.
"But Draco, I said I think I might be pregnant. I don't want to get your hopes up."
"Well let's go to St. Mungos and make sure," replied Draco.
They were about to go into the fireplace when Ginny said, "Wait! Let me write a little to my parents and tell her we'll be late."
Draco smiled and said, "Alright. Tell her we'll be there in like half an hour."
"Do you think that's enough time?" asked Ginny.
"Yeah," answered Draco.
Ginny wrote a quick letter explaining that they'll be a little late, but not exactly saying where they're going. Draco called for his owl, tied it to his leg and flew off.
"Okay, let's go," said Ginny. He took her hand and went towards the fireplace again. He went in first, grabbed some floo powder and shouted, "St. Mungos!" and the green flames engulfed him. Ginny took some as well, shouted the location and a minute later she was stepping out of another fireplace and into the lobby of the wizarding hospital.
Draco smiled at her, grabbed her hand, and they walked over to the front desk.
"Can I help you?" asked the lady politely.
Ginny answered, "Um, I think I might be pregnant. Is there a Healer available?"
The lady in front of them smiled and said, "There should be. Just sign your name here and I'll call your name. You can wait over at that bench."
Both Draco and Ginny replied, "Thank you," Ginny giggled, signed her name where the lady told her too and they sat down.
Ginny had so many thoughts in her mind, 'would've I am? Or would've I am not? If I am will it be a boy or a girl? Hmm I want a boy, but I still want it of course if it's a girl. Oh my gosh, what would mum and dad think? They are just going to re-meet Draco and I am already pregnant! Oh no and my brothers!'
Ginny's thoughts were interrupted by Draco, "Gin?"
"What!"
Draco eyes went wide and she said, "Oh I am sorry Draco. I didn't mean to snap at you."
"Don't worry about it. They called your name."
Ginny smiled and stood up, "Oh. Ready for this?"
"Ready as I'll ever be," replied Draco.
They went up to the Healer and the Healer said, "Hello there. I am Healer Abbot follow me please."
Both Draco and Ginny stopped at their tracks, "Hannah?" asked Ginny confused.
The Healer stopped and turned around, "Yes?"
"It's me Ginny! Ron Weasley's sister, ring a bell?'
Healer Abbot smiled and said, "Oh hi, I didn't recognize you."
Ginny looked at her confused, "But you saw my name on the parchment."
"Yeah well, my head is all over the place, I've been pretty busy today, even though it's still morning," replied Hannah.
Then Ginny asked again, "Hey I didn't see you at the reunion."
"Oh well I got caught up here, it's a busy life for a Healer."
Hannah looked at Draco and said, "Malfoy?"
Draco scratched the back of his neck, which is a nervous habit of his. He cleared his throat and said, "Yeah."
Hannah looked between Ginny and Draco, 'I thought she was with Harry?' Hannah though confused. She was about to say something but Ginny cut her off, "Long story, I am sure you'll find out soon, can we just find out if I am pregnant or not?"
Hannah nodded and said, "Of course, it's just further down the hall."
A/N: I don't remember what floor the baby ward is, sorry, and I looked at mugglenet in the St. Mungos section and they didn't mention anything.
As soon as they reached the room Hannah said, "Okay Ginny, just lay down over here, lift up your shirt and I'll do a simple spell. It won't hurt a bit."
Ginny nodded and did as she was told. She looked at Draco and he held her hand.
Hannah waved her wand over Ginny's stomach, muttered a few spells and said, "If your stomach turns pink its girl, if it turns blue it's a boy, if it's purple you have twins a boy and a girl. Also if it's really bright pink, then its twin girls and dark blue twin boys. Oh and if it's black you are not pregnant."
"That seems simple enough," replied Ginny and held her breathe because this moment can change her life forever including Draco's.
After a few minutes nothing happened, "Hold on," replied Healer Abbot.
Ginny laid her head back and heard Hannah gasp, "What?" asked Ginny.
She looked at her stomach and its bright pink! That means, "Congratulations! You are having twin girls."
Ginny was shock she had her mouth open. She looked at Draco and he is positively beaming. His grin was so wide.
"Oh Gin, I love you so much," replied Draco and kissed her gently on the lips.
As they pulled apart Ginny smiled and said, "Me too."
Hannah smiled at the happy couple and couldn't help at the thought of how much Malfoy has changed, he is definitely not the same person back at Hogwarts.
They looked at Hannah and she asked, "Do want to know how far along are you?"
Ginny nodded. Hannah went to the cupboards and grabbed a potion, "Here drink this, don't worry, nothing will happen to your babies."
Ginny nodded again and drank the potion, "You are two weeks along."
Ginny thought about it and blushed, because she remembered exactly when it happened.
"How can you tell?" asked Draco.
Hannah laughed and said, "Because there's a number two and a letter 'w' on her stomach which stands for two weeks. The potion can of course also determine months."
Hannah clapped her hands once and asked, "So any questions?"
Ginny shook her head 'no and Draco was silent.
"Just come back once a month for a check up. We'll send a letter over to you to remind you," said Hannah.
Ginny smiled and said, "Thank you so much!"
Hannah smiled and said, "No problem, congratulations again."
Draco said, "Thanks!"
Both girls laughed and they walked out of the room and down the hall.
"What time is it?" asked Ginny.
Draco looked around and saw Hannah behind them, "Oh, do you have the time?"
"Yeah, it's noon."
"Thanks."
"Oh we're not late at all! Let's just apparate over to the Burrow," said Ginny.
Before she did anything, Draco held her back, "Should we tell your family about this? It is kind of sudden, and they barely know me."
Ginny thought about it and replied, "Let's see how the day goes and if I feel like they are accepting you, which I am sure they will, then I'll tell my mum first-- away from everyone and see what happens."
"Alright," replied Draco. First he was scared to death to just meet her family, but know they have this unexpected news hanging over their heads and now Draco is having second thoughts, 'her brothers are going to kill me.'

They came to the middle of the Weasley's living room with a pop, but no one has notice their appearance yet.
"Hello? Mum, dad I am home! Anyone here?" she called and started searching the house.
"Oh Ginny dear, you're finally here!" her mother exclaimed happily.
Ginny smiled and gave her mother a hug. Mrs. Wesley noticed a man next to her, but she soon realized it wasn't just any man.
"Mother this is---"
"Draco Malfoy," she whispered loud enough for the both of them to hear.
"Yes," said Ginny.
Draco stepped forward and grabbed her mother's hand and kissed it, "Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Weasley."
Mrs. Wesley was shocked by his good manners and managed a small smile, "Well we already met before."
"Yes, but this is under different circumstances," replied Ginny.
"I see," said her mother, "Well you two can go outside if you want, everyone else is out there playing a game of Quidditch."
"What about Hermione?" asked Ginny.
"Oh she's watching the game with Fleur and Victoria (Fleur's daughter who is four)."
"Okay," Ginny replied, she grabbed Draco's hand and squeezed it for reassurance. They went towards the back of the grass area where the game was being held. Ginny took a deep breath and said, "Ronald! Get over here and hug your sister."
The youngest of the Weasley men stopped immediately on his broom when he heard the voice. He swerved around and smiled at his sister, but his smile turn into a frown when he saw who was standing next to her. The rest of her brothers stopped as well. It was an awkward silence. All the men on their brooms got off and went over to their sister, "Ah Ginny, don't you know who this is?" asked her brother Bill who gave a scowl to Malfoy.
"Of course I do!" exclaimed Ginny.
"What are you doing with him then? Especially here?" asked one of the twins.
"He's my boyfriend, got a problem with that?" said Ginny and looked at all her brothers.
"Boyfriend? Well you moved on quickly after Harry," said Bill.
Ginny rolled her eyes and said, "Oh please don't drag him into this."
It got really quiet and Ginny felt another presence behind her. She turned around and saw Harry there.
"Hi Harry," said Ginny awkwardly.
Malfoy narrowed his eyes at the golden boy and Harry said, "Hi," then he looked at Malfoy and said with the utmost hatred, "Malfoy."
"Potter, what are you doing here?"
"Well the Weasley's are like my family and besides what happened between me and Ginny, I am welcome any time at this house, got a problem?" answered Harry with a smirk.
Malfoy didn't answer.
Hermione and Fleur came over to the group (Fleur was holding her daughter) and Hermione spoke first, "Hi Ginny!" the two girl embraced each other then she saw Malfoy and was slightly shocked, "Malfoy,"
Draco made a disgusted face at her and replied, "Mudblood."
Ron cut in and moved into the middle of the circle, "Don't call her that again---"
"Or what Weasley?" Draco asked with a sneer.
Ginny elbowed him in the ribs and said something only he could hear, "Enough!"
Draco didn't answer again he just wanted to get out of here, because so far it isn't going well.
Ginny cleared her throat and said, "Well, why don't you guys go back to your little game and we'll sit over there."
The group separated and Ginny dragged Draco to the other side of the backyard and glared daggers at him, "What?" asked Draco innocently.
"You know perfectly well what! What was all that about? Do you want to be accepted in this family or not? Stop being the arrogant Draco Malfoy you were at school and start being the Draco that I know," Ginny said while looking at him in the eye.
Draco sighed and said, "Alright, sorry it's just bloody Potter's fault---"
Ginny scoffed, "Don't blame Harry on this. He has every right to be here, because my mother invited him. So please just try and act civil to these people, after today you are going to see them a lot."
Draco sighed again and nodded. They walked back to where the game was being held. Draco didn't really want to play with them because he knew he'll probably have to use some crummy broom so he sat with the girls that made him feel so stupid as childish as that sounds.
"Sorry Granger, old habits die hard," said Draco as soon as he sat down.
Everyone was shocked to hear him apologize, it wasn't the exact apology Hermione wanted to hear, but it was a start, "It's alright I guess," replied Hermione and continued her conversation with the other two about her wedding plans. Her wedding to Ron was going to be in a month. They've had like a six month engagement and Hermione was so excited of finally getting married.
Draco however wasn't really paying attention instead he turned over to the game. They weren't too bad, maybe one day when they come here again Draco will bring his own broom and show them how to really play the game, and he smirked at his thought. He looked over at the players and of course Potter was the Seeker, he rolled his eyes at wonder boy, how he hated him.
A half an hour later of what it seemed like Mrs. Weasley called that lunch is ready, 'finally I am starving,' thought Draco. He hoped that the food was good, he is a Malfoy after all and Malfoy's deserve the best.
Once inside Draco noticed Mr. Weasley and he started to breath fast.
"What is a Malfoy doing in my house!" exclaimed Mr. Weasley.
Draco was scared beyond belief. Ginny's brothers were snickering in the back at the look of Malfoy's face.
"Uh, daddy, don't do anything you'll regret, he's with me," said Ginny who was now standing in between Draco and her dad.
"What? Ginerva are you mad?" asked her dad.
"No! I love him," said Ginny proudly.
Arthur was so shocked at hearing her daughter say that.
'Maybe it's not the right time to tell them about the baby,' thought Ginny.
Mrs. Weasley broke the awkward silence which everyone was happy about, "Alright everyone let's just sit down and eat, please."
Everyone started to sit at their place. Arthur however was still looking at his daughter. Ginny made a frustrated noise, grabbed Draco's hand and they sat next to each other at the long dining table. After his initial shock, Mr. Weasley finally sat at the other end of the table, across from his wife.
Surprisingly it wasn't a silent meal. Everyone was having their own conversations. The only people who were quiet were Draco, Ginny, and her parents. Her mother was at the other end of the table, Ginny next to her, Draco is to Ginny's right. Fleur is next Draco who is feeding her daughter Victoria, while she sat next to her daddy, Bill. Bill is sitting next to Arthur who is at the other end of the table, who is sitting next to Harry. Hermione is sitting in between Harry and Ron, just like they did at school and finally the last two seats were Fred and George.
Ginny noticed someone is missing, "Where's Charlie mum?"
"Oh he got owled yesterday and flooed over to Romania to work with a dragons, but don't worry he'll be back in a couple of days. Then Molly asked, "So Draco how's business?"
Draco looked up and was surprise to hear that question. He smiled and said, "Oh it's great, thanks for asking," Molly smiled and went back into eating her chicken.
Ginny smiled at her mother and thought, 'maybe I could just tell her,' she thought. She wasn't sure whether to even tell anyone about the great news she was going to share with her family. Well maybe it won't be great news for them, considering who the father is. She was having a battle with her herself throughout the meal. Her mother noticed, she got up which confused Ginny.
"Ginerva, come with me," she said to her daughter.
Everyone stopped whatever they were doing. Ginny didn't want to start an argument with her mother in front of everyone, so she got up and followed her.
They went outside and sat on a bench, "Dear, something is bothering you. What is it?" she asked concerned.
"Why couldn't we wait until we were finished eating mother?"
"Because you weren't really eating and surprisingly, neither was I. I am a mother of seven, well six now after what happened to Percy. Any ways, well I have a feeling of what's bothering you," her mother said.
Ginny looked at her, 'oh my gosh, she knows, she knows! What I am going to do?' she thought.
"You're pregnant aren't you?" said her mother.
Ginny was so shocked at how she figured it out, "How do you know?"
"I realized it when I first saw you come in. You're breast are bigger, you barely touched your meal, and you didn't even have Firewhiskey like the rest of them," said her mother.
Ginny looked down. Her mother brought her chin up with her hand and said, "Ginny, I am not mad if that's what you are thinking. I just wished you could've waited a little longer. I mean you just got out of a relationship, you just started one, with a man that's not exactly what we thought you were going to end up with, and you are already pregnant."
"I am sorry, we didn't plan it. I guess we were just caught up in the moment and forgot to say the contraceptive charm," said Ginny and started to cry.
"Oh Ginny, come here," she brought her daughter in for a hug and rubbed her back, "It's okay."
They pulled apart and Ginny said, "I am having twin girls by the way."
"Really? That's great! How did Draco react?"
"He was happy actually, we're happy. I just wish that the rest of my family will be happy for us," said Ginny.
"I am sure they will. They love you Ginny, they are not going to think anything less of you, alright?" her mother said.
Ginny nodded. She wiped her tears and laughed. Her mother laughed along and said, "Let's go back inside," the two women got up and went back inside.
Ginny felt a lot better about having that talk with her mother, because now at least that someone knows. She sat back down at the dining table with everyone, but still doesn't feel like eating. She put her hand over his knee and he looked at her. She whispered, "Let's talk." Draco nodded. They both got up and it stopped everyone's conversations. Ginny broke the awkward moment, "Um, excuse us. Don't worry, we'll be back in a few," there was a chorus around the table of 'oh alright' or 'okay.' The couple went outside.
"What is it Gin?" asked Draco with concern.
"My mother knows about…my condition," she responded.
Draco's eyes went wide and said, "What how? You can't even tell."
"Draco she is a mother her self, she just knows these things. She wasn't mad at us, just surprised I think, but she's also excited because I told her we are having twin girls," Ginny said and touched his arm.
"I still don't think it's a good time to tell them. Maybe we should wait a month or something. Remember that fiasco earlier with your brothers, they'll kill me now," Draco said sounded worried.
"Well that's your fault Draco. I think I should tell everyone else. The sooner the better and if everyone explodes to the news, I'll tell them to calm down and give you a chance. What do you say?" asked Ginny hopefully.
Draco nodded and said, "Alright," Ginny smiled, hugged him really tight and gave him a quick kiss. They went back inside. They noticed that everyone finished with their meal already. Ginny looked at her mother and their eyes met. Ginny smiled and now felt even more confident about what she is about to do.
She cleared her throat and said, "Can I have everyone's attention please!" Everyone at once stopped what they were doing and looked at the youngest Weasley with confused looks, "I have something very important to say to you all, but I am warning you, it may come as a shock."
After several moments of silence she took a deep breathe and said, "I am pregnant with twin girls." She looked at everyone and almost every person in the room has their jaws dropped.
Bill was the first to exclaim, "What!"
Harry was as white as ghost, Ron was red in the face and Hermione was shocked, but soon smiled after wards. The brunette went towards Ginny and said, "That's great Ginny! I am really happy for you."
"Thanks Hermione. At least someone is taking the news lightly," she said to the rest of her family.
Then Fleur got up and went over to the girls, "Thiz iz zo exztin'! 'Ow far along are you?"
"Only two weeks. Yeah I just started, but there is someone there alright. Well two someone's actually," she laughed. The girls were talking excitedly, but the rest of the family was still shocked.
Fred and George looked at each other but then shrugged and went over to their baby sister, "Congrats Gin."
"Oh you two I am glad you came around. Aren't you excited? More twins in the family," Ginny said.
Fred and George smiled at that comment and went over to Malfoy. Draco was a little scared when they advanced on him, but to his surprised one of them said--well he wasn't sure which one at the moment, "Congratulations Malfoy, just take of our sis,"
They both shook hands with him. Draco smiled and responded, "I will don't worry."
George elbowed Draco in the ribs, "So I guess we'll be seeing you a lot now, huh?"
Draco made an awkward smiled and said, "Yeah, I guess."
Fred patted his back and said, "Don't worry we're not going to kill you---"
"Just yet---"
"But if you do hurt Ginny---"
"Then we will. Got it?" asked George.
Draco gulped at said, "Yeah, get it."
On the other side of the room Molly and Arthur were talking, "How can she be so foolish!" exclaimed Arthur in a loud whispered.
Molly slapped his upper arm and said in a harsh whisper, "That's you're daughter you are talking about. Oh Arthur is not so terrible I really do think that Draco has changed."
Arthur scoffed and said, "Oh you think so? Who does he think he is by dating out daughter for awhile, and then impregnate her. Not even Harry did that and they were together for a much longer period of time."
"Arthur don't compare Harry and Draco. Right now Ginny is with Draco and get used to it, because I think he is going to be around for a very long time. Now go and congratulate the happy couple," said Molly with her hands on her hips.
Arthur side and went over to his only daughter, "Gin."
Ginny stopped talking, and smiled when she saw her dad and said, "Yeah?"
"Congratulations, really I hope everything goes well for you two," Ginny smiled again and hugged him. When they pulled apart Ginny had tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe that everyone is alright with this. Even Bill calmed down and gave her best wishes. Arthur wiped away her tears, gave her a kiss on the cheek and he went over to Draco. She decided to leave them alone for awhile. She just hope that one more person would be happy for them. She looked around and spotted the raven hair man on the sofa. She went over to him and sat across from him.
"Hi," said Ginny.
Harry looked at her and didn't know what to say. Here is the girl that he always loved and will always love and she is pregnant with another man's child, well children actually, and not just any man it was Draco fucking Malfoy, he thought angrily. He cleared his throat and said, "Hi."
"Harry, please say something."
"What do you want me to say?"
"Anything I still care about you, remember that," Ginny said.
"I am not going to say congratulations if that's what you want to hear," said Harry.
"I never said I wanted you too," answered Ginny.
"Alright then here it is: I don't care about Malfoy, but I do care about you and even though those babies that are inside of you are half Malfoy's I don't care about them either. Call me selfish, evil or whatever I don't care. I only care about you and the one thing I will say is that I hope you are happy, that's all I ever wanted for you," said Harry.
Ginny was shocked about what he said. She can't blame him though for saying it. She probably would have said the same to him if she were in his shoes. Ginny hugged him and whispered, "I am happy."
They pulled apart and Harry answered, "Well good," he got up and said, "excuse me," Ginny let him go. She saw him talk with her mother. They hugged as well and he was gone with a pop.
Ginny sighed and went over to Draco, "So?"
"So," replied Draco.
"Holding up?" she asked.
"Yeah just about I practically had the same chat with all your brothers and your father."
Ginny shook her head and thought, 'Gosh they are so overprotected.'
"So do you want to go back home?" asked Ginny.
"Yes. I think I've had a lot of surprises and lectures for one day," said Draco and ran a hand through his hair.
Ginny laughed and grabbed his hand. She went towards her mother and said, "We're going to go home now."
Molly put a spell on the brush and it cleaned the dishes itself, "Alright dear. I am sure you had a tiring day," she hugged her daughter and then hugged Draco again. They all smiled at each other but before they went to the fireplace Molly said, "Wait," they stopped, but she was looking at Draco, "You are welcome anytime at my home," Draco smiled and hugged her this time. Then one at a time they went to the fireplace and each of them disappeared with the emerald flames.
