She fell asleep with a lot on her mind. Though she slept a full eight hours, she didn't get any rest. The man she loved was sleeping next to her, and he held her. She wondered about the missed call Harry got. Why would he get a call from Cho? After all this time? It just seemed very strange. She got up and ran her fingers through her hair.
Ginny couldn't shake the feeling of dread and uncertainty growing in the pit of her stomach. The funny thing was, though her emotional state was a bit shaky, she still didn't feel guilty from last night. For some reason it sort of excited her. It almost overpowered the nauseous feeling in her stomach. Almost. She wish she asked her mom if she knew of a potion to stop the morning sickness.
She ate breakfast, showered, got dressed, brushed her teeth, did all the normal things she did. Everything felt different, yet the same. It bothered her. Harry still hadn't gotten up yet, and she was annoyed. With one thought erupting in her brain like a volcano, she apparated back over to Draco's.
She knocked on the door. Draco answered a few moments later, all dressed and ready for the day. She half expected him to be in his pajamas.
"What are you doing here? I thought we had everything sorted." she shoved past him ignoring his comment. He shut the door.
"It is all sorted. Except for the fact that I...really need to do something. To get it off my chest."
"Oh really, and what would that be?" he folded his arms while he waited for her reply. She rushed over to him and closed the distance between them fully with her lips meeting his. At first, he tried to pull away, but her persistence and her tongue convinced him otherwise.
He slammed her up against the wall and she grabbed fistfuls of his hair and pulled hard. Ginny hastily unbuttoned his jeans and Draco swatted her hands away. He yanked down her panties and forced himself inside her hard. He placed his hands over her arms so she couldn't move. With every motion, she got louder and louder until she couldn't take anymore. She moaned his name in his ear while she came, and he released her arms. When he did, she grabbed onto his hair which made him finish inside her. After a few moments, they collapsed onto the ground in a heap of sweat.
"What the fuck was that?" Draco asked, out of breath.
"Amazing, that's what that was! Even though it was a quickie..."she giggled.
"Why did we just do that?" Draco asked.
"Well, I started it, but you finished it..."
Draco stood up and zipped up his jeans. He sighed, and shook his head.
"You...are...just...Ugh!" he said as he walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Ginny stood up and pulled her underwear back on.
"I...I don't know what I should say at this point." she said.
"Ginny, you're married!"
"It's not like you stopped me!"
"So this is my fault?"
"No! I just know that it was amazing and...wrong, and...exactly what I needed." she finally said. This made Draco unable to figure out what to say.
"I mean...I'm not saying it wasn't fucking perfect, okay? It was just...not right." he told her.
"I know..."
"So what are we going to do about it?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are you going to leave Potter?" he wondered.
"Why would I do that?"
"So, you're saying that it meant nothing to you, I was just someone to fuck you when you needed it?"
"I'm going through a tough time."
"Don't fucking tell me about a tough time. I've been lonely for years, My family has been the scorn of every witch and wizard in England. I met you and you sort of jump started my life. You sort of inspired me to better myself. I started to care for a you a little bit. You know, isn't this usually the other way around? Whatever, I guess I never was one to fit into stereotypes."
Ginny was speechless.
"So, Ginny. You better go back to your swine of a husband. Just know that he doesn't see you. I see you. I saw you when you were most vulnerable. You saw me when I was such too. So...Bye, I guess. Thanks for the fuck."
By this time, Ginny was sobbing. She looked at the ground and apparated back home to the bathroom. Luckily Harry wasn't in there. She cleaned herself up and looked in the mirror. Why was she confusing herself? She was just digging herself into a hole. She wasn't sure if she had feelings for Draco. She knew she cared for him, and he was a really good fuck, but she didn't realize the depth of the impact she had on his life.
"Gin, are you in there?"
"Yeah. Gimme a minute."
Maybe she needed more than a minute. She placed her hands over her stomach. There was Harry's child in there. An innocent bystander...She sighed. She wished her mental capacity was the same as when she saw Harry after the battle. The time of innocence. He saved so many people's lives and he had been through so much. How could she do this to him? She let a tear fall down her cheek. Harry opened the bathroom door.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I think I am." she turned around and hugged him tightly.
"Did you know that you're going to be a father?"
"It's weird, isn't it? I'm kind of scared."
"I have to tell you something, Harry." He rubbed her back delicately.
"Sure, what is it?"
"I...had sex with Draco."
"What do you mean, like, I'm not the father?" he backed away from her.
"No, you are. I mean, like...I just had sex with him."
"Just now? What?" Harry almost whispered., "I can't believe this...I know you've been a bit bipolar lately, but this is just a little extreme."
"I know. I am sorry. I realized just now that I want you. I want this family with you. We've been through so much."
"How do you expect me to forgive you for this?"
"You slept with Cho!"
"That was a long time ago, and I was drunk. Nothing happened. What is this, tit for tat?"
"No. I was just really confused and I thought it was what I wanted."
"So, all of a sudden, right after the act, you have an epiphane and you expect everything to be all hunky dory again?"
"I just want to work through this." Ginny said with tears pouring out of her eyes.
"Don't talk to me." Harry turned away. Ginny knew what she was about to do was wrong, but she needed to do it to fix everything. She pointed her wand at Harry and whispered.
"Obliviate." She cast it gently, as to erase these past few minutes from his mind. She then turned her wand to herself and erased the whole visit at Draco's.
She shook her head. For some reason, she didn't remember getting up or going to the bathroom. Harry was right outside the bathroom door.
"Are you okay, Ginny?"
"Yes, I think so." She looked at her wand and put it away. She wiped her eyes and looked at her husband. He hugged her tightly. It felt awkward a bit for some reason. Like it was very out of place. She just knew that she wanted this. Wanted this family with the man she loved.
"I'm thinking it's a boy." she said. He placed his hands on her stomach. He kissed her cheek and a final tear rolled slowly down her cheek.
