A/N: Sorry it took so long to update guys. Everytime I went to write this chapter something would keep me from writing it so it took longer then planned. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.
Hermione woke up and yawned as she looked around her. It was dark, as expected. She knew she was still underground hidden. Last night she had remembered falling asleep as she cried to herself.
Though it was still hurting her to not have told Ron about the child she'd have soon. It was hard but with the war going on, she knew why he couldn't know. All she could do was hope Ron wouldn't be mad and would still love her. That was all she could do until the war ended.
Quietly she walked out of her room and saw Ginny in the kitchen but wasn't sure what Ginny was doing where there was no food. "Hey Ginny."
"Well hello sleepy head. You slept almost all day. I was able to get us some food. It is a little after noon. Want some eggs? It isn't much but it has to be finished today because we have no way to keep if fresh." Ginny said as she put some of the eggs onto her plate then looked at Hermione. "Sound good? Oh and I got bread too. Also some other little snacks that will last a while."
Hermione just nodded and took the plate that was empty and held it out for Ginny. "Thanks Ginny. I am sorry for sleeping in so late. I should have been helping you get food." She watched Ginny put the eggs on her plate then sat down at the table.
"It is okay Hermione. I don't mind going out to get it," Ginny replied as she sat down next to Hermione. "Trust me, it is alright."
Hermione nodded and ate quietly for a few minutes before speaking, "Ginny, I am sorry about last night."
Ginny stared at Hermione confused, not understanding what had happened that Hermione was sorry about. "What do you mean Hermione? I don't quite understand."
"For crying like that."
The two girls sat in silence for a few minutes before Ginny looked up at Hermione. "It is alright Hermione. I understand. You are scared and worried about yourself, Ron, and the child. I would have been crying to."
Hermione looked at Ginny and said nothing then got up from her seat. "I feel like an idiot Ginny. I should have told Ron before he left."
"No!"
Quickly Hermione turned around and saw Ginny standing behind her. "Do you know what would happen if Ron was tortured and he gave out that you where having his child? That would bring so much danger to both you and the child."
"What happens when he comes back and finds a child Ginny? What will he think? He'll hate me! He'll think it is someone else's kid!" Hermione shouted, the tears coming back to her eyes. "He'll think I betray him and I wouldn't do such a thing."
Hermione stood there trying to control the tears and her anger at the same time wondering which would win. She noticed Ginny move closer to and put a hand on her shoulder.
"It is alright Hermione, calm down. Everything will be fine," Ginny told her friend, trying to get poor Hermione to calm down.
"How? Ginny, he'll come back to see me with a child most likely. What do you think that first thing he'll think when he sees?" Hermione said, still obviously angry and mad at the thought of this.
"I don't know but we'll explain to him that it is his child and that he has no reason to be mad," Ginny said, trying to keep Hermione calm but knew it wasn't going to go well at all.
"Ginny! Have you met your brother?"
"I'm pretty sure since I grew up with him," Ginny answered calmly.
Hermione moved away from Ginny and looked at the ground trying to control herself. "When has he ever listened to me? I told him that Viktor and I were only friends and he continued to believe I was lying when I wasn't."
Ginny sighed and walked over to Hermione slowly but kept a little distance. "Hermione, Ron knows you love him now and I am sure he'll believe you. You've got to believe that, you really do."
The two stood in silence then Ginny sighed walking over to the kitchen leaving Hermione alone. Hermione laid down on the couch and curled up staring at the floor. It was going to be hard to deal with the thought, not knowing what would happen.
It was quiet for a few hours. Hermione continued to lay on the couch staring at the floor thinking. She did not pay attention to Ginny or anything else so she really had no idea where or what Ginny was doing while she was on the couch.
Hermione watched as Ginny put a plate on the coffee table in front of her then walked away leaving Hermione by herself again. Hermione looked at the plate with a sandwich on it and picked it up and nibbled on it.
The whole place was silent as it had been for hours and seemed to be staying that way. Both girls hadn't said a word and obviously no one was going to break the quietness. Hermione could hope now that it wouldn't stay this way for the rest of their time here but obviously Ginny was afraid to say anything else at the moment.
When Hermione finished her sandwich she got up and handed the plate to Ginny quietly then walked back to the couch. It wasn't the most comfortable couch Hermione had to admit that but it worked to just lay there staring on.
"Hermione, come on. I have to teach you how to get in and out of here," Ginny finally said quietly as she kneels down by the couch to look at Hermione. "Just promise no running away."
Hermione looked at Ginny and sat up on the couch. "Why would I run away? Where would I go?" she asked Ginny quietly.
Ginny shrugged, not really having an answer. "Not sure but just making sure. I don't want to wake up one morning and find you ran off to find Ron." She stood up and headed towards the door into their hideout and Hermione quickly followed.
"I wish. I can't go out there though," Hermione whispered and then sighing as she looked at the ground. "Ginny, what is something goes wrong? What if someone finds this place?"
Silently Ginny came to a stop and then looked at Hermione. "What do you mean Hermione?"
"Well, what are we going to do if the Death Eaters find us or find out about the child?" Hermione asked quietly as she looked at the ground, not wanting to look at Ginny. She was worried about herself, Ginny, and the child she'd be having. That is if the war went on so long she ended up having the baby before it ended.
"No Death Eaters will find this place and no one but the two of us know about the child so I am not sure how they will find out. So don't worry at all about it Hermione," Ginny said quietly as she walked closer to Hermione and put her hand on her friend's shoulder. "The only people who will find this place is Ron or if my family figures out this place exists then they will know but that is all."
Hermione slowly looked up at Ginny then nodded her head quietly. "Okay, let's go. I want to learn how to get out and how to close the door," she whispered quietly though she didn't think she'd be leaving often.
Ginny smiled a little and went back to leading Hermione to the entrance of their hiding spot. She went over to the ladder and lead Hermione over to it as well since it was darker and hard to see. "Okay Ron and I figured this out ourselves because we didn't know the spell for it. I don't think I ever learned it but if you know it, feel free to use it. Right behind the ladder here it a pulley that will pull the rug back over the door. You can close the door by yourself, pretty simple." Carefully Ginny took Hermione's hand and put it on the pulley to show where it was.
"How do I know it worked?"
"Pull up, the rug will sort of move out of the way enough to get out. Pull down it will cover the door," Ginny explained then looking at the door above her. "You will know the rug is over the door when you can't pull down anymore."
Hermione looked up at the door above them as well and then at the ground. "Thanks Ginny. I will go get food whenever you want me to. We should take turns going out to get it though."
"I'll go tonight Hermione. I really think you should rest. Please for me Hermione," Ginny said quietly, giving Hermione a slight hug then letting go. "I promise tomorrow night I'll let you go just please get rest Hermione."
Quietly Hermione watched as Ginny opened the door and climbed out then closed it. She stared at the close door for a few minutes before walking back towards their living room and to her room. Though she wasn't tired she saw nothing wrong with lying in her bed for a while until she did fall asleep.
She closed the door to her room and lay down on her bed and sighed quietly. Everything that could go was going through her mind. So much could go wrong so many things could happen and she hoped it would. The one thing she feared most of all was Ron hating her for not telling him about his own child.
That didn't seem like something Ron would do but it bothered her. After all this was his child and she hadn't told him as soon as she had found out. He would think that she cheated on him. That was a way Ron was capable of thinking but it wasn't true. She had promised that she loved him and him only and that wouldn't change ever. All she could do was hope Ron remembered and believed that.
