Disclaimer: I will never own Harry Potter, not even if I try
A/N: Ok I am so SORRY that it took me like three weeks, I am so bad! I had writers block like the week after I posted then when I was writing the chapter the freakin' electricity when out of my house so the computer shut down while I was writing it and I didn't even save my work! Then I got lazy of writing it because I was writing so much before the power went out. Then when I felt like writing again I forgot what I was going to write so I had to come up with a whole new chapter, argh! Any ways thanks everyone for sticking with my story and I hope I didn't loose any of my readers over the period of time. I promised a longer chapter and I hope this satisfies everyone. Happy reading!
Chapter 19: Apologies and baby names
Ginny received an owl last night from Hannah saying that she wants to talk to her and Draco. She also mentioned that Harry will be there, but Hannah said she already talked to him about his behavior around her which made Ginny feel a little better. Hannah told Ginny to meet them in the Hog's Head around two in the afternoon.
It is now 1:45 so Ginny looked at herself in the mirror one last time. She can't believe how big she has gotten. She's already five months pregnant and photographers still take pictures of her and every now and then she'll be on the Daily Prophet. Ginny got over the pictures becauseshe can't see the photographers and she doesn't feel any one following her, which is good for her because if she's being followed Draco will blow off his top and she'll get stressed out which isn't good for the babies. For the past month they have been buying baby stuff including clothes, toys, cribs, diapers, and so on, and Ginny can't wait! They still have to pick baby names and get the room ready, but she knows she still has time for that.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Draco from downstairs, "Ginny come on!"
Ginny rolled her eyes and thought, 'every time we have to bloody go out. Woops sorry babies mummy didn't mean to swear,' Hannah, and her mom, told her that it isn't good to swear while being pregnant because they can feel her anger.
"Ok hold on a sec!" she called back. Ginny is wearing a purple maternity long sleeve shirt with maternity black pants. Ginny of course hates the maternity ware but she doesn't have a choice, its November after all so she feels warm and comfortable which is good. She finally reached downstairs and shook her thoughts away and hopes they will get through with their situation today.
"Ready?" asked Draco.
"Ready as I'll ever be," answered Ginny and she just had déjà vu that day when they found out she was pregnant.
One at a time they went to the fireplace, called out their destination and arrived in Hog's Head.
They looked around for a blonde girl with a guy wearing glasses and found them in the back of the pub. Draco and Ginny walked towards the couple and Hannah noticed them.
"So…" said Ginny looking around. She glanced at Harry and he just sat there with his hands folded.
"Hi, well go on sit down," said Hannah.
The red head and the blonde joined them from across the booth and couldn't find anything to say to start their conversation.
Then all at once they all started talking at the same time.
"Well…" said Ginny.
"Um…" said Draco.
"I am," from Hannah.
"I just …" Harry said.
They all blushed and started all made nervous laughs.
"Wait, this is practically my fault so I think I should say something first," said Harry surprising everyone including Draco.
They all nodded in understanding and Harry continued, "I just wanted to say I am sorry Ginny and Malfoy---"
Hannah elbowed him, Harry sighed and said, "Draco,"
Draco's eyes widened at the fact that he said his first name and thought, 'so, that doesn't mean I have to call him Harry,' then a voice in his head said, "Ugh don't be so immature look how hard he's trying to finally call it truce.'
Draco sighed also and said, "Um thanks Harry."
Ginny and Hannah glanced and smiled at each other.
"Wait I am not finished. Ginny I've moved on," Ginny narrowed her eyes at him and he continued, "No really I have, I realized that you are not the one for me and I can accept that. I can see that there's a whole other life I can experience with Hannah and I am willing to take that chance," he finished and he locked eyes with Hannah. By now she had tears in her eyes and kissed her lovingly. He whispered in her ear, "That wasn't a proposal I just really want to be with you as much as possible and see where that leads us," Hannah nodded and kissed him lightly again. They broke apart and looked at the couple in front of them.
Ginny smiled and said, "Well I am glad you said that Harry and once again I am truly happy for you two."
"So what does all this mean?" asked Draco.
Hannah replied, "Well I know we're going to see each other a lot in the near future and I want us to start fresh and become really good friends. What do you say?"
Draco looked at Ginny and he saw a silent plead in her eyes. He managed a smile which made Ginny smile and said, "Of course, there's nothing more I could ask for."
Ginny and Hannah reached across the table and hugged one another. When they pulled apart they looked at their men and they were staring at each other, "Oh come on you two honestly, we're not in Hogwarts," said Ginny.
"So, that doesn't mean I'll be all nice and mushy with Wonder Boy here. I'll try and act civil with you Harry (god that still sounds weird to say, he thought), but were not friends just yet, and we'll probably never will be," said Draco.
Harry nodded and said, "Agreed," they hesitated at first but they both sort of made a hand shake out of it, so that once their hands touched they let go at once. The girls tried not to giggle at their childish behavior.
"Oh you two should join us at the grand reopening of Dragon in Hogsmeade. It will be a lot of fun, the Daily Prophet will be there, The Quibbler, the Weird Sisters, other celebrities, and a lot of people from Hogwarts, what do you say?" asked Ginny excitedly.
Draco couldn't believe it. So what they made truce or whatever and she thinks she can invite people wherever they go? He glanced at Ginny and hoped it looked a little intimating. When Ginny met his eyes she glared back and shushed him before he can say anything.
When Harry and Hannah where done whispering to each other Harry said, "You sure you want us to be there?"
"Of course Harry! Right Draco?" she asked innocently and looked at Draco with her pleading eyes that he knew he won't refuse.
Draco narrowed his eyes but turned to the couple and said, "Yeah it's alright," he said and hopes he sounded convincing to them and not like a jerk.
It seemed to work because they agreed.
"Well great! The reopening is next Tuesday come by 5:00 p.m. and you're names will already be on the guest list," said Ginny.
"Ok," Harry and Hannah both said.
"Well we have to run and finish…some baby stuff," said Draco and got up.
Ginny looked at him confused and said, "We do?"
Once more Draco glared at her and said, "Yes we do, there's a lot to do," he said the last part in an urging voice.
"Oh right, ok then," she turned to Harry and Hannah, "I'll see you guys next Tuesday then."
Harry smiled and said, "Alright bye."
"Bye, oh and thanks for inviting us!" called Hannah as Draco and Ginny were already walking out.
"You're welcome!" called back Ginny over her shoulder.
As soon as they were out into the November breeze Ginny said, "What was all that about? Why did you rush out of there so quickly? And we rally don't have anything to prepare for our girls."
Draco stopped walking and faced her, "Yes we do there's the room and names," and he started walking again.
Ginny grunted and rolled her eyes at the insufferable man she is with. She caught up with him and couldn't wait to be in front of the fireplace right now.

As they sat in front of the blazing flames Ginny lifted up her head, which was currently on Draco's shoulder and said, "Draco? Why can't you ever be on friendlier terms with Harry?"
Draco looked down at her and said, "It's impossible for Potter and I to be friends, can't you see how hard it is for us to even be civil with one another? I like how our relationship is and I want it to stay like that."
Ginny sighed and replied, "Alright, fine."
She got up from the couch but before she can take another step he grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her back down beside him, "Don't go I am sorry for being such an arse, but that's the way me and Potter are, we can't help it, can you just accept that?"
Ginny looked at him and nodded, "Ok sorry about that, you know how I am lately all emotional for no reason at all."
Draco nodded also and responded, "I understand," he smiled and kissed her tenderly on her pink soft lips which he missed all day. He can't believe he only kissed her once today and that was to say good morning, what's wrong with him?
They haven't been intimate with one another in a couple months because Ginny simply didn't feel like it. She talked with her mom about it (which she was all too embarrassed about, but she felt like she had to talk too someone) and she says it's normal for pregnant woman not to feel like having sex because they feel fat and unattractive.
Their kiss was still going on and Draco moved his hands down her arms and then rubbed her stomach, but then they desperately needed air so they pulled apart at the same time. They touched their foreheads together and Draco whispered, "I love you."
Ginny smiled and replied, "I love you too."
Draco kissed her belly and said, "And I love you too little ones. Gosh I can't wait till they're here."
"Me neither, which reminds me, do you want to pick out some names now?"
"As a good time as any," he answered.
They sat up and Draco grabbed his wand from his inside pocket and summoned a piece of parchment and a quill.
"Mmk how about…Kristen," suggested Ginny.
Draco screwed up his face and shook his head.
Ginny rolled her eyes and said, "Well at least write it down."
"Oh alright," he answered.
"How about Molly? You know after my mother," she explained.
Draco thought about it and said, "Yeah it's a possibility."
"Remember Draco we have two girls so technically we can choose two names."
"two?" asked Draco confused.
"Yes two. After their first names they will get a middle name," she answered.
Draco nodded his head.
"Do you have any suggestions?" she asked.
Draco was writing some names down and scratching them off as well.
Again Draco thought about it and came up with, "Jane?"
"Uh huh it reminds me of Tarzan and Jane," she said.
"Who and what uh---" Draco was again confused.
"Never mind it's some muggle legend Hermione told me about once but no, I don't like Jane," she retorted and laid her head back on the sofa.
"How about Narcissa?" asked Ginny.
Draco smiled and liked the idea of one of his daughters being named after his mother as well and said, "I love it, but how about we use that for a middle name?"
"Ok sounds good."
"Elizabeth?" he asked.
Ginny shook her head, "Too common. What about Jessica or Jennifer?"
"Gin those names are more common than Elizabeth!" he exclaimed.
"Oh alright, calm down. Hmm," she thought some more.
"Do you like Rose?"
Draco stuck his tongue out in disgust and Ginny slapped him playfully on the arm
Draco suddenly smiled which sent a shiver up and down Ginny's spine, "What are you thinking about?"
"How about Ginny? I love the name Ginny."
Ginny had her mouth in an 'o' shape and said, "Absolutely not! We are not naming any of our daughters after me, that's just ridiculous."
Draco glared at her, but quickly got over it and said, "What about Tiffany?"
Ginny gasped and exclaimed, "I love that name. Okay we'll go with Tiffany as a first name and Narcissa for the middle name."
Draco stared at the fire and said quietly, "Tiffany Narcissa Malfoy."
"Malfoy?" she said.
Draco turned and looked at her stunned, "Why are you calling me Malfoy again? I haven't done anything to you!"
"Oh that's not what I meant Draco, I was just thinking about the babies' last names."
"Well it would be Malfoy of course," he answered.
"But we're not even married," she said and tears started to come.
"What now? Ginny is not a big deal okay they won't have a Malfoy last name," then the realization hit him. Not a Malfoy but there has to be more little Malfoys running around the house. 'Tiffany Narcissa Weasley,' okay that doesn't sound right but then he thought of, 'Tiffany Narcissa Weasley-Malfoy,' that sounds pretty good I like it, we can combine our last names.'
"Ginny baby stop crying I have the solution," he said and walked up to her, to which she was currently standing in front of the fireplace with her back facing him.
"W-what?" she stuttered and faced him then she brushed away her tears.
"Tiffany Narcissa Weasley-Malfoy."
Ginny smiled and nodded.
"Okay good now lets find another name for the other little girl," he said and grabbed her hand and walked back onto the couch.
Ginny's sobs disappeared, she cleared her throat and said, "I want something that starts with a 'T'. That will sound cute having two girls with names with the same letter."
"Okay," said Draco and thought about some more names.
"Tara?"
Ginny shook her head and said, "Sounds like tiara."
They both thought some more and once again Draco suggested, "Tania?"
"Nope," answered Ginny. They both grunted and both put their heads back on the sofa.
"How about Taylor?" he asked.
"No it reminds me of the guy version of that name; Tyler."
A few silent minutes passed then Draco gasped and said, "Tamara? Tammy for short."
Ginny thought about and said, "Tamara Weasley-Malfoy."
Ginny smiled and said, "Awe I like that a lot now how about a middle name."
"Molly," Draco simply answered.
They both said it at the same time but mainly to themselves, "Tamara Molly Weasley-Malfoy and Tiffany Narcissa Weasley-Malfoy."
They looked at each other and Ginny said, "It's perfect."
"Yeah it is, just like you," he said and captured her lips in a loving kiss. Draco broke the small kiss and looked at the clock, "It's eight o'clock. Let's have some dinner."
Ginny nodded, Draco put out the fire by casting the aquamenti charm and they went into the kitchen.

A/N: Even though I haven't updated in awhile please review! So what do you think of the names? I also apologize for anyone who has the names I suggested for the babies that I sort of insulted, I just wanted to make the chapter more interesting.
