"She'll be alright, just not tonight."
~ Her Diamonds, Rob Thomas.
Ch 2.
Broken
"Ginny, is she alright?"
'Yes, Harry, she's fine. Call Ron and Hermione."
"Alright, love."
I opened my eyes and looked around. I was at 12 Grimmauld Place. I turned my head a bit and saw Aunt Ginny sitting next to me.
"Rose, sweetie?" she said softly, patting my head, "are you alright?"
"What am I doing here?" I asked, confused at how I had ended up here and not at Mum and Dad's place, or Dominique and Albus'.
"Well," Aunt Ginny began, "I think you meant to send your patronus to your Mum and Dad, but, you mistakenly sent it to me. Never mind though, I called your parents and they'll be here—"
Just then Mum appeared in the fireplace, followed by Dad.
"—in a second," she finished, awkwardly.
Mum ran straight over to me.
"Oh love," she cried, "what in the world happened?"
"I-I left him Mum," I said, smiling weakly.
"Wait a second," Dad cut in, sounding like he couldn't believe his ears, "you left him?"
"Ronald," Mum chided softly, before turning back to me.
"Why'd you leave him, Rose? I thought you were happy."
"So did I, but, I guess when Dom wrote me that letter saying, well, everything everyone else was to scared to, my life went into perspective. I don't want to talk about it now, maybe in a few days, when I feel better," I told her.
I didn't want to talk because I was afraid I would break down in front of everyone, actually, I was surprised I had kept my cool so far.
Mum's eyes watered.
"Rose you've got to talk to me," she said hopelessly.
Dad walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Come on 'Mione, she'll talk when she's ready," he said soothingly.
"Okay, well, maybe we should go, are you going to come Rosie?" she asked, not really looking at me.
Aunt Ginny stepped in quickly.
"No, you're all staying here tonight," she said sternly, "we've got more than enough room to accommodate all of you."
Mum looked around at her, "thanks so much, Gin, we'll just have to owl Hugo to let him know."
"Well, you go do that, and I'll make up your beds," Aunt Ginny said, bounding out of the room.
I had to hand it to my aunt, she was really fit, but she was so tiny at the same time. Looking at the build Uncle Harry had worked up from being an Auror, I'm surprised he didn't crush her.
Aunt Ginny came back in with a pillow and some sheets.
"Is there anything you need, Rosie?" she asked, smiling warmly at me.
"Dominique," I told her.
I realised I needed Dom right now. Needed to tell her everything.
Aunt Ginny smiled even wider.
"I'll owl her."

I was lying in Albus' old room when Dom walked in. She immediately ran too my side.
"Oh, Rosie baby," she cried, getting tears in her eyes as she took in the sight of me.
I was wearing an old sweatshirt of Ginny's, that strained over my stomach, which had grown sickeningly out between my hips. I had some pyjama shorts on, my hair was knotted, my face was tear stained and I was nearly bone white.
"Rose," she sobbed, "you're my best friend. And, I'm not going to lie, you look dead. You look like he's taken your life, like that baby still is. We have to take you too a hospital, tomorrow morning."
I didn't know what to say, I felt hopeless. But words just escaped my lips, out of my control.
"Dom, we c-can't be apart, I-I can't be away from him."
"Rose, you can't go back there, I wont let you."
"He won't want me back, he doesn't love me."
I broke down completely now. I cried for what seemed like hours, with one hand in Dominique's and one on my stomach.
"Dominique?" I asked softly, later on.
"Yes Rosie?" she replied.
"They won't take my little girl, will they? They won't take Lyra from me?" I asked desperately.
I didn't care if I died, I didn't care if I never saw Scorpius again. As long as my baby stayed alive and lived a happy life. I'd give anything.
"Rose," Dom said uneasily, "is Lyra as in Lyra the constellation?"
"Yes," I said defiantly, "she is a Malfoy, Dom."
"A-a Malfoy?" she asked, then seemed to swallow, "but hasn't the first born Malfoy been a boy for generations now?"
"Yes, but I know she's a girl. I know it," I told her.
I could picture it now. I pictured a tiny, female Scorpius lying in my arms. With pearlescent grey eyes and white-blonde hair.
I looked out of the window to see the sky a dusky sky outside, the sun was rising.
At that exact moment, Mum came bustling into the room, closely followed by Dad and Hugo.
"Hello Mum," I said pleasantly, "Dad, Hugo."
"Rosie," Hugo breathed, "you alright?"
"Oh, never better!" I told him sarcastically, as he grinned at me.
Just then, I noticed a black haired someone standing near the door, Albus. I jumped out of bed and ran, or toddled, rather, over to him.
"Albus!" I cried, throwing my arms around him, "I've missed you so much!"
"Oh, Rose," he said, pulling back and smiling sadly, "you look like hell."
I attempted a weak giggle, as he looked at me reproachfully. God, someone has grown up a lot.
"Yes, she does!" said Mum, stepping in, "which is why we were seeing if you were up, as we are off to St. Mungo's."
"Mum, you really don't-" I started, but she cut me off.
"Yes, we really do, you are so unwell," she said sternly.
And, with that, she grabbed my hand, turned once on the spot and disapparated with me in tow.
So this was a TERRIBLE chapter, since I wrote it in pieces, so I apologise. Next chapter will be up ASAP! xo
