Chapter 2: Helpless

The last thing Ron remembers was fainting after the news.

He awoke later, when the sun was setting (or rising, he couldn't tell) and had thought, or maybe hoped, that it was all a dream.

No such luck.

"Ron, are you ok?" Luna asked him gently, dabbing his forehead with a wet sponge.

"You're joking right!" Ron laughed and sat up. "You honestly ask me if I'm alright when you've just told me I am to father a baby!"

"Ron, I told you over three hours ago. You've been out for a while," she stated

"Oh" was the only noise that issued from his mouth. "Luna, what are we going to do?"

"I know one or two things. One, I want to keep it. Ron, I'm sorry, but I just can't have one of those muggle abortions. What about the child? It hasn't even been given the chance to live!" she announced to Ron.

He sighed, then he got onto one knee in front of Luna.

"Luna-"

"Ron, stop. That comes to number two. I don't want to marry you. Heck, I know you would be making a huge sacrifice on your behalf. I don't want you to sacrifice you're life just because we had some fun."

Ron sat back down.

"I'm not saying you can't have any part in you're child's life. I wouldn't do that, and I know that this child would want to know both her parents. I just want you to live you're life with Hermione and let me with this child. You can always visit," she added.

Ron put his head in his hands.

"I know this is a huge shock-"

"No, it's not that. Well, yes it's that, but there is more to it. Its just that, how will I break this to HERMIONE!"

-:-

'Knock Knock'

"Hello? Mrs. Weasley?" a voice called through the Weasley's kitchen door. Mrs. Weasley went over to answer it.

"Hermione!" she squealed "What a surprise! We weren't expecting you for dinner. Oh well, there's always room for more at the Weasley table. Do come in, I'll set you a place next to Ron…"

Ron, who was in a deep thinking trance, was suddenly broken out of it by the sound of his name. He looked up and saw Hermione standing at the door with his mother and saw her heading over to him.

"Oh crap!" he said under his breath.

"You ok Ron? You look a little pale?" Hermione asked as she sat down.

"I thought so to dear. Are you sure everything's alright," Mrs. Weasley asked over her shoulder as she prepared the dinner.

'No!" Ron felt like screaming 'Looney Lovegood is having my love child! Of COURSE I'm not ok!'

But he didn't. Instead, he just mumbled something and started playing with his fork.

"Ron," Hermione said sharply. He raised his head ever so slightly.

"Ron, do you mind taking a walk with me while dinners getting ready?" she asked him as she stood up. She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the door and into the garden.

Once outside, they were in silence as they started walking. A few minutes later, Ron looked up and found himself with Hermione in the apple orchard, where Luna had given him the dreadful news.

"Look, Hermione… I need to tell you something,"

"Thought so," she said and sat down on a boulder at the side of the orchard.

"Looneylovegudshavinmybaby"

"Ron, you need to learn to open you're mouth more! Honestly, no one can understand you when you talk like that!"

"Hermione, Luna's having my child!" he yelled when she had finished. She fell of the boulder.

"What the hell!" she yelled at Ron.

"Luna Lovegood is having my love child!"

"Why, Ronald Weasley, that is the lamest piece of crap I ever heard off. If you want to break up with me, why don't you just say that to my face?"

"Hermione! I don't want to break up with you! I swear! I love you, I wouldn't have it any other way!"

"Then why are you making up this crap that you got Luna pregnant?"

"Because its true!"

"It's ridiculous! I know you would never cheat on me, especially with Luna!"

"But I did! The night of the Ministry of Magic ball! I went home to her apartment and we both got really drunk and one thing led to another and I ended up waking up in her bed the next morning…"

All the remaining colour in Hermione's face drained away. Then her cheeks went bright red. Then

SMACK

She slapped Ron, right across the face.

SMACK

SMACK

She slapped him again and again. Then she ran across the orchard towards the Burrow

Ron disapperated from where he was and apparated just in front of Hermione.

"RONALD WEASLEY! HOW COULD YOU!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Gee, Hermione, do you think you could have screamed it any louder?"

Hermione pointed her wand to her throat and muttered

"Sornus!"

"HOW COULD YOU RONALD WEASLEY!" her voice boomed through the orchard.

"Hermione, I had SEVEN bottles of FIREWISKEY! I was DRUNK! I didn't PLAN on sleeping with her. In fact, I don't and never wanted to SLEEP with her! Hermione, what about me? This isn't just a shock for you; it's a shock for me! I only found out an hour or so ago!"

"Ronald Weasley, I don't give a damn if you slept with Luna Lovegood! Its over! You slept in that bed and now you have to make it! Literally!" she bellowed and apparated away on the spot.

"Ron, you have more then a little explaining to do!" said his mother's voice.

He turned around and saw his whole family standing out the front of his house, and by the looks of it, they had heard every word.

"Damn Hermione and her spells!"

"Deep breath Luna. You just have to tell him, and then you can get on with your life!" Luna said to herself as she arrived at the offices of the Quibbler. She rubbed her tummy for good luck, then pulled open the door.

"Hi Gladys!" she said to the secretary. "I'm here to see my father. Its important,"

"He's in the printing room Miss Lovegood," Gladys informed her

"Ok, thank you very much," and she walked off towards the printing room.

"Hello Daddy!" she said to an elderly man who was changing the printer cartridge.

"Hello Luna dear. I'm sorry but this isn't a good time,"

"I know Daddy but the matter is much urgent!"

"Luna, dear, you know that what you just said didn't quite make sense!"

"Yes I know, but I was nervous as I need to tell you something which is very important!"

"Ok then, tell me while I walk,"

"Daddy, I'm pregnant!"

Her father froze in his tracks and spun back around to face her.

"Luna, dear, I think all the knowledge you possess has gone to your head. Or perhaps its you divinations skills, but Luna, I'm sorry dear but you don't have a boyfriend, nor a husband so it would be quite impossible for you to become pregnant!"

Luna gave a sad sigh, thinking how naïve her father was.

"Daddy, I got drunk with a friend of mine and one thing lead to another and you know the rest,"

"Well that settles it Luna. You definitely aren't pregnant!"

"What makes you say that?"

"Why Luna, you don't have any male friends!"

"Daddy, of course I do! Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Neville Longbottom!"

"Ok then, which one is the son of a Bludger that did this to you!" her father said, cracking his knuckles.

"It was Ronald Weasley, but he is as much to blame as I am!"

"Ok, Luna. You're pregnant and out of wedlock. You must get rid of the baby!"

"I could never do that!"

"I'm sorry Luna. I refuse to let you give birth if you aren't married. You can get rid of the baby or marry this Ronald fellow. You're choice!"

"But they are both ghastly choices!"

"You should have thought of that before you got yourself a child!"

"What if I refuse?"

"Then I shall do what a father has to do. I shall disown you!"

A tear ran down her cheek before she turned and left her father standing there alone.

-:-

"Now Ron, are you sure she's pregnant?" Mrs. Weasley asked

"Of course! You know Luna Ginny! You know she wouldn't make something like this up!"

Ginny nodded her head with agreement.

"Luna would never pull a stunt like this. It would of have to the truth,"

"Ok then just checking," Mrs. Weasley said before they all sunk into silence.

POP

"Who's gone?" Mrs. Weasley asked as she heard the noise of a disapperater.

"No one, Molly dear. Someone must have arrived,"

Mr. Weasley stood up and walked towards the door and peeked outside.

"Quick Molly, come here!" he said urgently.

Mrs. Weasley flung from the table and opened the door wide.

There, on the back steps, she found a body laying there all crumpled. She ran over and gently placed the person's head on her knees and gasped.

"Luna?"

"Please, I have no where else to go! Please don't make me get rid of it!"

A/N: Ok, I'm really sorry but this story is going to be slow at updating! I'm sorry! I've been really busy with helping my sister with her story! But if no one wants me to continue, I won't. But if you do, please review!
