Part Four
Twenty minutes later I was sitting in the same chair my mum had been sitting in before with my dad sitting across from me. I can't tell you what he was thinking because I had never seen that look on his face before. He wasn't mad, but he certainly wasn't happy either. We had been like this for a while now, him just staring at me that way. Finally he spoke.
"You love him right?" There was no emotion in his words, and to be honest I was the scariest I had been in my life. My dad and I had been rather close when I was little. Although I was always told that I had my mum's spirit, I never really got along with her. We always fought, but my dad was the one that pick me up when I was crying, and I did a lot of it. Wither it was one of my stupid older cousins trying to prank me, or even Hugo being a prat, he was the one I ran to crying until he told it was going to be okay. Eventually I got older and we drifted apart, but there was still a bond between us. At least I thought there was once.
"I don't know why…" I wasn't going to cry in front of him, no matter how much I felt like it at the moment.
"Just answer the question." He replied in the tone.
"Yes."
It was silent for a moment before my dad sighed, now looking about to cry. "I guess there's nothing I can do, is there? If I say no, then you'll hate me forever, and I can't live with that, Rosie."
"I'm not sure what you're trying to say…" I muttered, my hormones acting up again, my words were probably wobbly.
He smiled, "You're always going to be my little girl. I can't keep refusing to believe that you're not old enough for this. I still believe I'm too young to be a grandfather though."
"Dad…"
"Just give me a hug," He muttered, and the minute his arms enclosed my body I couldn't help not crying. I could have sworn he was crying, and when we broke apart he rubbed his eyes. "Go talk to him."
Scorpius was outside of the door looking more nervous then I had seen him in the four years I had known him. Dad nodded at him, and I glanced at both of them, but I had no idea what it was about.
"Ron, are you crying?" Mum muttered and course my dad said no rather too quickly so we all knew he was lying.
"Rose, I need to ask you something." Scorpius whispered. "And before you get the wrong idea, I was going to do this before you told me about the baby."
"What are you talking…."?
But he was already kneeling on the ground, my family, Mum, Hugo, and me all gawking at him. My father, however, didn't look at all surprised. "Will you marry me?"
In all reality all I could remember about the next a couple of minutes was,
"Ron! You ARE crying!!"
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
"Wait… He asked Ron for her hand and Ron told him it was okay?! Are you sure?"
"I DON'T WANT A BROTHER-IN-LAW! ESPECIALLY NOT HIM!"
"Hugo, I swear this won't hurt you!"
"I'm NOT CRYING!"
"So, I wasn't expecting that."
"James Potter, if you try to get me to eat another one of your stupid hexed candies again, I will shave off all your hair while your sleeping, burn all of your collectable firebolts, and attach a permanent pigs tale to your arse!"
I guess Hugo had finally blown his fuse, as he was standing in the middle of the room his face bright red. Thankfully everyone was too busy looking at Hugo deciding if they needed to take him St. Mungo, so I pulled Scorpius up off the ground, who had been kneeling the whole time, and probably freaking about the whole time too.
"Are you okay with the baby thing? We never really talked about having kids before… but I think, no I want it. It…"
"Of I course I bloody want it! If I didn't do you think I'd still be here? Granted I hope it doesn't have my nose and Rose, I…"
I cut him off, snogging him completely forgetting that my family was still in the same room. "Yes."
And to top off one of the most memorable Weasley Christmas was when Gram walked into the room, took one look at Scorpius and me and nearly dropped the rack of cookies she was carrying and said, "Um… dessert anyone?"
