Hermione's POV
Waking up in my bed a wave of nausea hit my stomach, jumping up I ran to the bathroom and fed the toilet. Today was the hogsmead trip, today I tell Ron about the baby. I was so nervous and scared, it did nothing but add to my already upset stomach. I walked over to the sink to rinse out my mouth, and then began to draw myself a hot bath. Slipping into the tub, I felt the warmness wrap around my bare body. Laying there as I was relaxing I began to wonder, wonder what will happen, will Ron lash out and that be the end out it, everyone would see and Fred and I could live happily, as a family? Will he act excited and hit me later? Will I make it through this? How am I going to have check-ups? My train of thought got interrupted just as there was a knock on the door.
"Yes?" I spoke.
"Hermione, is that you?" called Ginny's voice.
"Yeah its me."
"Oh good, just making sure you were okay, I'll talk to you when you get out, I'll just wait out here."
"Alright, thanks Gin,"
"No problem."
I finished washing and got up from the tub and wrapped myself in a nice big towel and wrapped my hair up as well. I dried off a bit replaced my towel with my robe and slipped into my slippers. I opened the bathroom door to find a much energized Ginny on my bed reading a magazine.
"ah-hem," I attempted to clear my throat.
"Oh Hermione," she spoke startled removing herself from my bed, "I didn't hear the door."
"Sorry."
Ginny took a good look at me, "How are you?"
"Could be better, but I'll be fine." I stated as she gave me a hug.
"Well, as soon as you get dressed will go, just meet me down in the common room."
"Okay see you then." I said as she left shutting the door.
Just as I finished dressing, the door creaked open and a voice spoke, "Hermione"
I jumped at hearing my name, "Fred doesn't do that, you scared me!" "and what if I wasn't dressed yet?" I pointed out.
"Nothing I haven't seen before," he smiled, as my checks grew warm.
"Aww 'Mione I love it when you blush." I just looked at him smiling.
"What if there were other girls in here?" I argued.
"Well theres not," he stated walking closer to me, grabbing my hips and planted a small kiss upon my neck. "I just wanted to see you before you go." He said into my neck.
"Fred," I breathed.
"hmm?"
"Im scared," I admitted, he just looked up at me with worry filled eyes.
"Mione, im going to get get you out of the mess okay…..Okay?"
"Okay," I whispered as a tear streamed down my check and Fred lifted his thumb up to whip it away, and gather me into a hug.
"I love you so much I hope this baby is mine, I'm going to take care of you for the rest of our lives."
"You mean that?"
"Yes I do, now I'm sorry but I should be going." He said kissing me one last time before he slipped out of the door.
I came downstairs ready and dressed, I had butterflies I didn't have a clue of how today was going to go and that certainly didn't help my bad case of morning sickness. Also there was a plan that Fred and George would be close by. It was a couple days ago that Fred had told his twin. George was a bit upset at first, but anger towards Ron took over quickly. "Hermione!" Ginny startled me getting up from the couch near the fire place, "Ready to go?"
"Sure let's go." The whole walk there I was a wreck, I didn't let it show of course. I wanted to tell Ginny everything, honestly. I just couldn't, she wouldn't believe me anyway. It takes a whole lot to convince her of anything.
"Hey it's snowing," Ginny pointed out to me as I broke away from my constant thoughts.
"Oh it is," I smiled looking up with my hands out, "try to catch a snowflake on your tongue!"
Laughing Ginny yelled of excitement, "I got one, Ah it's getting cold, c'mon lets hurry up so we can get some butterbeer."
We soon walked into the Three Broomsticks; Ginny grabbed my hand and squeezed it. "It'll be alright," she whispered. Ron was sitting at the back by himself, walking over to him he stood up to hung me and kiss me. I had to be careful I had gotten quite use to kissing Fred all the time that I forgot it was normal to kiss your publicly known boyfriend. I took the seat next to Ginny when I sat down.
"So Hermione dear, what is it you need to talk about?" he asked.
"Um well you see-"
"Hello, Im Linda I'll be your waitress is there anything I can you to drink?"
"Just three butterbeers." Ron ordered.
"Coming right up."
"So you were saying?"
"Right, well a…Ron I'm pregnant."
Ron sat there looking at me, no a slightest expression on his face, just blank. The waitress soon sauntered over. "Here you go; three butterbeers let me know if you need anything else."
"Ron? Hello?" Ginny spoke waving a hand in front of his face attempting to get his attention back.
"Ron say something." I said
"Pregnant?" he repeated
"Yeah, with a baby," I replied softly, at first I thought maybe he won't lash out, but I was wrong and spoke too soon. I watched him as his knuckles turned white from his grasp on the mug.
"Ron! Are you okay?" Ginny asked concerned, maybe she saw the tension in him too.
"No Ginny I'm not okay! Hermione you little bitch!" he spat between clenched teeth.
"Ron!" Ginny whispered furiously shocked.
"I thought you were smart Hermione, so this sort of thing doesn't happen!" he raised his voice pointing his hands towards my stomach.
"This Ron, is a child, a life I don't think you are capable of fathering!" I begane to argue, I LIKED THAT Ginny was there I felt stronger to actually get out what I wanted to say.
"No, it's a mistake, nothing but a little baster child!"
"RON, that is enough," Ginny scolded.
"Stupid bitch," he said standing up and raising his hand.
"Ron, please" I cried, "Don't do this." I looked around noticing the glances of the people around us, I also spotted Fred and George who must have grabbed a seat during all this commotion. I turned just to see Ron's hand come close to my face. Hearing the chair stir next to me Ginny got up and chanted "Petrificus totalus" Ron fell limp and dropped to the ground. Fred and George walked over.
"Nothing to see here, go back to your smoke pips and fire whisky," George said as he removed Ron from the floor and threw him over his shoulder.
"Hermione?" Ginny spoke.
"Gin, I'll explain later," I told her taking her hands, "I promise" we followed the twins out of the Three Broomsticks.
"Oh, I'll be right back guys, I gotta pay for our bill," Ginny announced. George layed Ron down on the ground and sat down.
"Hermione," Fred spoke turning around to look at me, "Honey." He took my face with his hands.
"I'm tired of all this." I explained as I felt a tear roll down my cheek. He wiped it away. "Hermione look at me, something needs to be done fast, do you understand that?" he whispered. "I know Fred, I know." He hugged me tight just as Ginny walked outside.
"Okay someone explain, now! She yelled, "Hermione what the bloody hell was that?"
"God Gin, we now you're confused and lost, but chill you don't need to yell at her." George implied as she walked over and sat down near George on the grass. "I'm sorry, I just..why?"
Fred and I joined them on the grass, "Ginny I need to believe me when I tell you."
"Okay, I will."
"Ginny, Ron has been abusing me for the past 4 months. I've been kicked, slapped, punched, thrown against walls, you name it. I have to use spells, make-up, and everything else to cover the evidence. Fred was the first to find out, he was there from me. He was caring and gentle and well he still is. I'm sorry Ginny that I didn't say anything sooner, I was just afraid. Fred found out on his own I didn't say a thing."
I explained as more tears were brought to my eyes.
"oh 'Mione I had no idea I'm so sorry," she sobbed throwing herself at me wrapping her arms around around me. "Wait! So the baby is Ron's?"
"Well no, I don't know that's just the thing, the baby could be Fred's. I'm hoping he's the father." I told her.
"Me too, think it's time we find something out, time to visit madam pomfrey." She suggested, "He needs to go there anyway.
"No no no I can't!"
"Hermione, you need to, this baby needs check-ups." She ordered, "I'll be there with you I promise I won't leave."
"Alright, Alright I'll go, but what if she sees bruises?"
"We'll come up with an excuse if that happens."
"Mione, It's the best thing to do," Fred said taking my hand.
"I know, well then let's go."
