Ron POV
How did this happen?
"Well, Ronald when two people get together and have sex." I most have said that out loud. "Sometime it can result in a baby." Hermione was still talking.
"Hermione stop." I looked into her big brown. "Hermione, that not what I meant at all." I took her face in my hands. "I meant how did this happen?" I place a hand on her stomach.
I loved the kiss that she gave me in the Room of Requirement. When I saw my brother's dead body fall on the floor, I felt lost. I could not talk to Hermione about the kiss. I spent most of the time in my room after the funeral, by the time I came out Hermione was at Australia with her parents. When Hermione got back she went straight back to Hogwarts without a word to me. Harry and I got accepted into the Auror Department training. We were going to be gone for the next year and a half. I sent Hermione a letter to tell her I was okay. When I got home it felt like things had changed between us. We were just friends.
After Harry and Ginny's wedding, when I dropped her off, I took advantage of her kiss goodbye. When she lean up to kiss me on the cheek, I turn my head to catch her lips and it felt amazing. After she threw her arms around me and led into her flat. The next morning before Hermione woke I watched her sleep. She looked so peaceful sleeping there. Her hair was fan out against the pillow, the sheet covering just above her breasts. She looked so beautiful, I didn't want her to wake and regret what we did together. I got out of bed slowly without waking her and I found paper and a pen in the drawer in the table next to the bed. I wrote her a note and put my clothes back on. I left as quietly as I left the bed.
The next two weeks, all I could think about was how Hermione felt under me. Every dinner at my mother's Hermione would look at me and all I saw was her naked. Her flush skin after we were done. Her lips all plump from all the kisses I gave her. I could not take it anymore I corner after dinner one day and told her that I could not take it anymore. We quickly made it back to her place.
Every morning after we were together, I would leave because I didn't want to look into those big brown eyes and tell her that I love her. I didn't want to see her smile and tell me that she didn't love me. Then it would be awkward and we would never speak again. I like having this friendship with Hermione. I didn't want to ruin our friendship. So every morning for the last three years, I would leave before Hermione would wake up.
Now we are going to have a baby. A little redhead with the biggest brown eyes ever. This baby was going to have both Hermione and me in it. How are we going to raise this baby together? I want to be there for everything from the morning sickness to the three in the morning feedings. I want to see it first steps. I think we should take the next step in our relationship. I really love Hermione. There was only one thing to do.
"Marry me, Hermione." I grabbed her hands. I looked into her eyes and begged. "Please."
Hermione let go of my hands. She took my head in her hands. "Ron, I'm not going to marry you because we are going to have a baby together." She kissed me.
"No, I don't want to marry you because of the baby." I wrap my arm around her waist. "I want to marry you because I love you and I want to spend rest of my life with you."
There were tears in her eyes. "You love me." I nodded. "Do you really love me?" Hermione asked.
"I love you since I was fourteen and we had that fight after the Yule Ball. Your tears pulled at my heartstrings and I knew then that I was never going to be the same. I treasured the time we would alone together without Harry. I love you, Hermione Jean Granger. Marry me and let me show how much I love you."
Tears were falling down her face. "Yes. I'll marry you. I love you, too." She pressed her lips against mine.
I broke the kiss after a few seconds (minutes). "Lets do it now. I have a friend who came marry us now." I smiled.
"Ron, don't you want your family there when we get married or my family?" Hermione asked with her arms around me.
"Hermione, have you meant my mother." Hermione looked at me questionably. "First we tell her that we are going to have a baby. She going to ask how, when we have not been dating. We tell her that we been sleeping together. My mother's head would explode and she would yell at us to get married." There was a smile on Hermione face. "So we can get married and tell my mother that we are married and pregnant in a month or two. Or we could tell them when the baby is born. Then she will be happy and won't ask questions."
Hermione laughed. "All right. Let's do this." We left soon after that. I grabbed Hermione's hand and disapparted. We arrive at my friend's house. I knocked on the door and it was shortly open by my friend.
"Ron, what are you doing here?" David asked. He looked from me to Hermione.
"I need you to marry us." I said. David smiled and led us into his house. He opens a door and we went in the sitting room. David gave me a look. "Oh, David this is Hermione. Hermione this is my friend David." They greeted each other.
"I'll be right back." He left us for a few minutes. He returns with his wife and some paper. "My wife here will be here as a witness and I'm going to need you to sign these papers to give to the ministry." We nodded agreement.
David took out his wand. "I need you put your hands together." Hermione and I put our hands together and smile at each other. David smiled at us. "Ronald, do you take Hermione as your wife?"
"I do." I looked into Hermione's eyes. David did some wand work.
"Hermione, do you take Ronald as your husband?" David asked.
"I do." Hermione whispered. David did another wand movement.
"Rings." David asked.
I took off my Auror ring. "This is the only ring I have right now." I put the ring on her finger. "I'll get you a better ring later." I whisper in her ear.
"I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." David said. I lean down and kissed the bride. I married Hermione in my jeans and tee shirts and Hermione in her old jumper and jeans. I am married to the woman of my dreams. We sign the papers and left David's house.
"Do you want to go somewhere for our wedding dinner?" I asked because I was hungry.
"Sure. Where do you want to go?" Hermione asked.
"I know this great little place." I grab Hermione and disapparted. We ended up at this Ma and Pa restaurant.
After we were seated. "Ron, can I ask you something?"
"Sure." I took a drink of water.
"Why do we keep our relationship a secret?" Hermione asked. Before I could say anything the waitress came up and asked us what we wanted. We order our food.
After the waitress left I took a drink before I answer her. "I thought this was what you wanted." I said.
Hermione looked shocked. "I thought that what you wanted because you leave every morning before I would wake up. Why did you leave in the morning?" Hermione looked like she was going to cry.
"Because if I saw you and I would tell you that I love you. I thought that you would…tell me that you didn't love me and everything would be awkward." I turned away from her; I didn't want her to patronizing me.
"Ron," She placed a hand on my arm. "Where did your Gryffindor bravery go?"
I gave her a faint smile. "I always lose it where you are concern."
Hermione gave a laugh. "So, what about that kiss during the war?" Hermione smiled.
I laughed. "Hermione it's been seven years, we are married and going to have a baby."
Our food had arrived. "Ron, we should have had this conversion then." Hermione took a bit of her food.
"We never found the time. When I came out mourning I wanted to talk to you but you were gone to Australia. So I waited for you to come back, when you came back you didn't say a word to me."
Hermione didn't look too happy. "You could have said something to me during that week. All I got is letter telling me not to worry about you. Everything I heard about you came from Harry to Ginny." There were tears in her eyes.
I leaned over and kissed her. "I'm sorry and I thought that kiss was amazing and every kiss since then." I kissed her one more time before I sat down again.
"Ron, do you want to go to my midwife's appointment tomorrow with me." Hermione changed the subject.
"I would love to." I smiled. "I'll meet you at your place tomorrow. What time should I be there?"
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Ron, why don't you move in with me."
"Oh." I could feel my face heat up. "Yeah, that would make sense." Hermione smiled. We finished our meal. I paid for the meal. "I'll meet you at your place." I left Hermione as I went back to my old place to get a few things. I get the rest of my things later.
The next day we were waiting in the Witches' Birthing Center. There were women in different stages of their pregnancy; some were reading pregnancy magazine. There were a few with their husbands. Hermione was sitting next to me reading a book. I was bored, so I picked up a magazine and started flipping through it. I flipped to the middle and there were the pregnancy stages. I made a face as I was looking at how the babies looked.
"Hermione Granger." A young woman called from the back hallway. Hermione and I got up and followed her to a back room. "Miss Granger, I need you to put this gown on and the midwife will be here in a minute." She gave Hermione the gown and left. Hermione went behind the curtain to change. I looked around the room and saw models of babies. Hermione came out and sat on the table.
"Ron can you please take a seat. You are making me nervous." I took a seat in the chair next to the table.
"Everything going to be okay." I patted her knee. "I'll be right here." Hermione nodded. We sat in silence until the midwife showed up.
"Hello, Ms. Granger." An older woman came in with a smile. "And who is this?" She asked.
Hermione smiled. "This is my husband, Ron Weasley. He is the father of my baby."
"Hello, Ron. I'm Lisa Thomas." I smiled at her. "Alright, Hermione we are going to cheek on you and the baby. Ms. Thomas ran her wand over Hermione. The next thing I saw was a green bubble. Ms. Thomas looked at the baby. "Everything looks great. You are six weeks along. This is your baby." She pointed to a little peanut. I grabbed Hermione hand.
"Hermione, we are going to have a baby." I saw tears in Hermione eyes.
"Alright Hermione I going to tell you something to do." Ms. Thomas told us something to do for a health baby. "Okay, I'll see you at your appointment which you should make your next appointment at the desk." We nodded and Ms. Thomas left for Hermione to change. We made our next appointment and left.
The next month, Hermione and I were sitting on our couch. Hermione was reading reports for work. I was reading the paper, "Hermione, guess who had a baby?"
"Who, Ron?" Hermione asked.
"Draco Malfoy had a boy and they named him Scorpius Hyperion. Isn't that a funny name." I laughed. "Who names their kid that?"
"I like that name. It's better then naming him Ronald Bilius Weasley, Jr." Hermione went back to her work.
"Hey, I like that name. It would be a cool name for a boy." I flipped through the paper. I came across the classifieds.
"Ron, we are not going to name our baby that." Hermione said.
"Hermione, I think that we should move to a bigger place." I saw a few houses that would be prefect for us.
"Why?" Hermione asked. She still didn't look up.
"Well we are going to need a bedroom for the baby and this place only has one." I stated.
"Fine." Hermione said softly. I smiled because I found a four-bedroom house that would be great. A bedroom for us, one for the baby, and a guest bedroom for Hermione's parents when they came to England.
Knock. Knock.
Hermione and I looked at each other questionably. Who is knocking on our door? I got up and open the door to find Harry and Ginny standing there. Harry was holding James' carrier. "Where the Hell have you been? You missed four Sunday's dinners. And why are you here at Hermione's?" Ginny said in one breath.
"Harry, Ginny why don't you come in." I move out of the way to let them in. "Hermione, our two best friends are here." I yelled to Hermione.
"Ron, have not answered my questions." Ginny took James out of his carrier. She smiled at Hermione. "How are you feeling?"
"Good. The morning sickness is still here." Hermione smiled.
"Wait. Hermione is pregnant." Harry exclaimed.
"Yes, Harry." Ginny said. "Ron, what are you doing here?"
"Who the father?" Harry said as I said. "I live here." While Harry and Ginny were gasping, "Would anyone like any tea."
"There is only one bedroom. Where do you…." Harry started to look like a fish. "You're the father."
"What happen to Mr. Muggle?" Ginny asked. Ginny started to point between Hermione and me. She stopped at Hermione. "You been sleeping with my brother for the past three years."
James started to whine, so Harry picked him up. "How did this happen?"
"It started at your wedding and ending with us moving out of here." I said. "Oh, and we are going to have a baby."
"Let's make some tea and you two explain." Harry said. Hermione went to get the tea. Harry, Ginny, and I took a seat in the sitting room. When Hermione came back, we told them everything.
"You are married. You didn't tell me or Harry that you are married." Ginny yelled. "Let me see the ring." She grabbed Hermione's hand and saw my Auror ring. Ginny looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Are you going to get her a better ring?"
"Yes, we been looking." I glance at Ginny. I looked at Harry. "Are you okay with all this? I know we are to be best friends, but have you meant my mother."
Harry laughed. "Yeah, I'm just glad that you are together. It only took forever."
'Ha, Ha. Very funny, Harry." I said.
Harry turned to his wife. "Ginny, I think I win the bet."
"What bet!" Hermione screamed at the top of her lungs.
