So I wrote this really quickly, the past two chapters I had planned out for a while, but now I'm just kind of writing off of the top of my head ... oh well, I hope it's still of half decent quality! lol :) Thank-you for all of the reviews/favorites/follows ... I really appreciate it! Let me know what YOU want to happen in the story ... I am open to suggestions. Also if you have any baby name ideas let me know. It's still a little early to start thinking baby names, but I could use some ideas. :)

I don't know how long we stayed there on the bathroom floor like that, me crying, and Scorpius doing his best to comfort me. But at some point I fell asleep in his arms, my head nestled between his chest and his chin. You know that extreme exhaustion and complete weariness that envelops you after the final sobs of a long, hard cry subside? That's what happened, and I simply couldn't fight it. I was sleep deprived and both mentally and physically exhausted. Scorpius, however chilly his personality could be, was a warm and inviting pillow.

I was awoken by Scorp whispering in my ear "Rosie, you've got to wake up". He kissed the top of my head and attempted to maneuver my body off of his.

I stirred, my brain still foggy with the bliss of sleep, gripping his shirt. "mm" I muttered, "don't wanna".

Scorpius snickered at my state of grogginess, but quickly sobered, "Really though, I'm going to be late for my Arithmancy Test" He said shaking my shoulders a bit.

I groaned as I slowly maneuvered my way off Scorpius and into a slightly unsteady upright position. "What time is it?" I inquired groggily.

"10:30" he replied smirking, only 15 minutes to get to class, he knew that would spur me into motion.

"Oh my god, I need to go, I have herbology." I exclaimed bringing my hands to my mussed up hair and trying to tame it with my fingers. Scorpius gave me an odd look, herbology was a bit of a joke throughout the school. Despite it's laughable reputation I really enjoyed working with the plants, it was peaceful. The real reason I was so panicked was because Professor Longbottom, the head of Gryffindor house and the Herbology teacher, was very good friends with my parents. If I showed up late to his class, he would know something was wrong and unlike most teachers, he wouldn't hesitate to confront me about it.

"I have to go" I stated again, backing away from Scorpius towards the door, I wanted to avoid any further questioning - at least for now.

"Wait - Rosie", Scorpius exclaimed, using my nickname as though trying to soften my resolve. "Shouldn't you be going to the hospital wing? You're not exactly a picture of health at the moment."

"No, I am just fine" I retorted, rather defensively. "It was probably just something I ate." I could tell he was worried about me, but I didn't have the time or the energy to explain myself.

"I wouldn't call this just fine". Scorpius said gesturing towards my disheveled and somewhat sickly appearance. That was the issue with Scorp, he could never seem to let anything go, he was just far too pushy for his own good.

"Look, I'm fine, I just need to get to class, I'll go see Madame Pomfrey later ... OK?" I included this tiny lie. I obviously wouldn't be going to see Madame Pomfrey, she'd know what was wrong immediately. Madame Pomfrey although more than a little eccentric in her old age, could practically diagnose a patient simply by being in the same room with them. I'd seen it first hand when Albus had strep throat, she didn't even need to examine him - she just knew.

We fell into silence as we made our way out of the washroom, but before we could go our separate ways Scorpius grabbed my arm. "We really do need to talk" he spoke quietly, his hand grazing the small of my back, before letting me go and disappearing into the crowd of students. I attempted to calm my unsteady breathing and the fluttering in my stomach without much success. The way Scorpius affected me was insane, I couldn't seem to stay calm and collected around him. Just as I was about to head on my way, I caught Elena Martin staring at me with a look of complete and utter disgust, she must have seen Scorpius and I leaving the washroom together. I stared right back at her, as though daring her to accuse me of something I hadn't been doing, well at least not on that occasion. I did realize however how compromising the situation must have looked to an outsider. I held my head high and made my way down the crowded corridor, out of the castle and towards the large greenhouses.

I scanned the grounds for Alice, we had herbology together, much to my relief. You'd think it would be awkward since her Dad teaches the class but they had that rare, oddly close father-daughter relationship, so somehow it wasn't uncomfortable at all.

I finally caught sight of her just outside of the 7th year greenhouse sitting on one of the benches with Albus. I rolled my eyes, they had been getting much closer lately and I suspected something a bit more than friendship was going on. "Hey guys", I said brightly, forcing out a tight-lipped smile.

"Rose, where were you!" Cried Alice, "I was so worried about you."

"Yeah cous", Albus chimed in, "that was some show you put on in Potions."

I glared at Albus, he could be the sweetest person you'd ever meet at times, but at others he was just plain god damned annoying.

Alice smacked his shoulder to reprieve him, but more playfully than for any real punishment.

"If you must know, I was simply composing myself after the incident." I mumbled, cringing inwardly at the thought of my barfing debacle.

"Don't worry about it Rosie, Alice said lightly, getting up and walking with me towards the greenhouse, "It happens to the best of us, Remember the time I barfed all over the place during our first year quidditch lesson?"

I couldn't help but smile at the memory. There was a big difference between the two occurrences though, Alice only puked because her broom had a mind of its own and decided to start doing flips, while I was puking all over the place because I was pregnant.

As soon as we sat down at our work table she turned to me, her light brown eyes serious. "Are you sure you're OK Rosie? I felt so awful, letting Scorpius take you, I should've offered to go, I know things have been tense between you guys lately for whatever reason." She glanced at me knowingly and then looked away quickly.

I could tell she already pretty much knew what was going on, Alice had this incredible intuition, but she rarely acted on it. She was like a wise, slightly eccentric owl.

"Alice", I sighed, "Scorpius is the father." I winced at my own words, I hated saying this stuff out loud, it made it all seem much too real for my liking.

She nodded her head solemnly, but didn't say anything. I was right, she'd already figured it out, typical Alice.

"He doesn't even know, and I just don't know how to tell him, every time I try I just keep thinking about how much he's going to hate me."

She smiled slightly as though what I was saying was funny in some way, "Rose, he won't hate you. He might be a bit shocked, but he won't hate you. You two have always had the hots for each other anyway" She giggled a bit, still smiling. "You worry too much, what will be, will be."

It was then that professor Longbottom walked in, clapping his hands together to get the classes attention. "Alright my plantastic students, time to tend some to some shrubs!" He announced enthusiastically. I giggled, Professor Longbottom got way too excited about herbology. I began to calm down as I tended to my flutterby bush, Alice was right, I just needed to relax.

Thanks for reading! :) 6 more reviews & I'll post the next chapter! :D
