POV:Scorpius

Rose shook me awake. I could see the red lights of the clock blinking 2:00am, 2:00am.

"Rose, what's up?" I asked still half asleep.

"Scorpius, there's something wrong." Before she spoke, I hadn't noticed the tears running down her face. When I heard the fear in her voice, instinct took over. my still half asleep body.

"Okay, what's wrong?"

"It h-h-hurts." She struggled to speak. "It's not supposed to hurt Scorpius!"

Oh shit, this couldn't be happening. I didn't know how much time we had. I pulled her out of bed.

"Listen to me Rose. It's okay, we'll go to St.M's. I'm here, okay. Hold on to me, it's going to be fine. Everything will be fine."

She grasped my arm tightly, and nodded.

After apparating us there, I signaled the closest healer for help.

"Sir, come with me. What's the problem?" she asked as she sat Rose down in a chair and started jogging down the hall.

"She's about eight weeks pregnant. She's had one miscarriage, she said she was experiencing pain. Our healer is healer Brown. Oh god..."

The healer nodded and started yelling out directions. "Get me Healer Brown, we'll be in Maternity 1, tell her this is," she looked at me.

"Rose Weasley."

"Rose Weasley! Get Brown here fast! Sir, I know you want to be with her, but I think you should stay out here. I promise I'll get you as soon as there is any news."

I stopped and watched as Rose got wheeled away. My brain kept telling me I should be running after her, that I should be next to her, holding her hand. My feet stayed glued to the ground. Seconds later Healer Brown ran past me. When she saw me, she turned around.

"I'll take care of her Scorpius." I knew she would, I knew she would do anything she could, the question was whether or not that would be enough.

I covered my face with my hands and sank into the closest chair I could find.

"Scorpius." I heard someone call, and practically jumped out of my seat. Healer Brown had just come out of the room Rose was in.

"She's fine."

I breathed out a sigh of relief.

"And the baby?" I asked, dread creeping into my stomach.

"They're both fine. It was just cramps. Bad ones! I completely understand Rose's instinct. But some people have them, other's don't. We gave her some potions for the pain. We checked up on the baby, it's doing fine, just about eight weeks now. You can go in and see her now."

"Thank you so much, Healer Brown. Oh thank god she's okay." I crushed her into an embrace. Startled at first, she relaxed and patted me on the back.

"You know I'd do anything to keep them safe. Go see Rose now, I'd imagine she wants you by her side. It was quite the frightening experience for both of you."

As I made my way to the room, I ran my hands through my hair. It had all happened so fast this morning. Thank god Rose was fine, but I couldn't help thinking what if she wasn't? What if it had been another miscarriage? We weren't through the woods yet, we still had a month until she was "safe". It could still happen. Pulling the door open, I saw Rose sitting up in the hospital bed, just like a few months ago. Today though, Rose held her arms out to me.

"How are you feeling?" I squeezed her tightly.

"Better now. With you here." she sighed, and squeezed me tightly. "I can't believe it was just cramps. That's so embarrassing! I should have known the difference. All it was, was cramps for god sake. I've had cramps before!"

"Hey," I chuckled "Healer Brown told me they were bad ones, she said it was good that you came. I mean it's better to be safe than sorry."

She blew a raspberry with her lips. "Okay. I just can't help feeling a little silly. I mean the healer that brought me in here, she was terrified that there was something wrong with me, because of the way I was crying. And then when Healer Brown checked me out, and said it was just cramps, she just gave me this look, like I had been causing a big fuss over nothing, like I had just made up everything about the pain."

"Oh come on, there are always going to be people like that. They just can't wrap there heads around stuff sometimes. The name James Potter comes to mind..."

Rose giggled, a smile spreading across her face, just what I had wanted to see.

"Don't worry about what other people are saying, or thinking. All that matters is you. I'm just happy you're safe." Rose leaned her head on my shoulder as I sat down next to her. "Healer Brown said we could leave whenever you were ready. What do you think?"

She sighed. "I'd like that. I'd like to be home. I've had enough hospitals for a lifetime."

POV:Rose

We had gotten home from the hospital yesterday afternoon, and the rest of the day was spent lying about. This morning, I had gotten up early, due to the crazy amount of rest time I had gotten yesterday.

"Ohmygod Scorpius!" I yelled from the kitchen. The new daily profit resting in my hands.

"What's up?" Scorpius came in, a towel wrapped around his waist, another towel drying his hair. I couldn't conjure up any words to describe what I was seeing. I just handed him the paper, my mouth still trying to form a sentence.

Scorpius gave me a quizzical look, until he saw what the paper said. The towel he had been using to dry his hair fell to the floor and his mouth kept opening and closing. His gaze traveled to mine, I figured the confusion written in his eyes, mimicked my own.

"How?"

"I don't know." I choked back in response. "I-I guess there was some arse there who saw us or heard us or something and went to the profit." I sunk down into a kitchen chair.

"Are you okay…?" Scorpius sat down across from me. He looked at me cautiously, preparing for me to burst into tears.

"Yeah, I'm alright, well, I mean, I'm kinda pissed off." He opened his mouth to say something, but I kept going before he could. "Well, actually, I'm a lot pissed off. Can't these people mind their own damn business. Do they really have nothing more interesting in their lives than other people's problems! Seriously get a life." I blew my breath out in frustration. Scorpius was looking at me, surprise written all over his face. I guess he hadn't really seen me get aggravated in a long while.

"Okay...so you're good?"

"Yes Scorpius,I'm fine." I snapped. "I just don't understand. Don't these people have their own families to take care of?"

The minute those words left my mouth, Scorpius' eyes went wide, realization dawning on his face. "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. Mum. My mum is going to kill me." Scorpius buried his face in his hands.

A giggle escaped my lips. Scorpius looked up at me. There was dread written all over his face. I tried to hold it in, I really did, but the look he had on his face was so pathetic, so scared, I just couldn't help it.

"Are you laughing at me?" he asked.

I nodded, trying to hold it in. I couldn't stop, I just couldn't. "I'm sorry." I laughed.

Scorpius just stared at me like I was insane. Then he joined me. We must have looked like the craziest thing in the world. The two of us just sat there at the kitchen table, no talking, just laughing.

We were interrupted by a loud crack. My mother was standing in the middle of the kitchen. The smile on my face vanished.

"Mum? What are you doing here?"

"What? You think I'm going to see a picture of you and Scorpius at St.M's on the front of the daily profit with the headline 'ROSE WEASLEY:PREGNANT(again?) Will the baby be okay?' and I'm not going to come visit you? You are my daughter. You knew that I knew about you being pregnant again, or you had a very strong suspicion. Why would you not tell me that you were in St.M's again? What am I supposed to say to the family? Why wouldn't you come straight to me to tell me what was happening. "

"Because nothing was wrong Mum!" I got up from her chair.

"Well that's not how this picture makes it look." My mum thrust the paper at me.

I'd seen it, but I hadn't really looked at it. It was quite an unflattering picture. Tears were running down my face, as Scorpius was frantically yelling at a healer.

"Ohhh." I grimaced. "Ok, I guess this looks worse than I thought. But what do you want me to say Mum? I am sorry, but I am 21 years old. I've been an adult for quite a while now. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but did you expect me to know this article was going to be in the profit? I'll never understand why people enjoy publicizing other people's lives. You shouldn't have come here today to yell at me. You should have come to see if I was alright. You think I want the entire wizarding community to know that I had a miscarriage and could possibly have another any day now? No. Hell, I didn't even want to tell my parents. I wanted to spare myself the sympathetic glances and the heartache of having to face all of you and act like I'm fine. I'm scared Mum. I'm terrified. You don't know what it's like to lose a baby. It's the worst possible feeling in the world. And, I just wanted to spare myself a little more pain if it happened again this time. So sorry, but really, I'm not sorry. I stand by my decision not to tell you that I was pregnant or that I had been to St.M's. If there had actually been something wrong, and I needed your support, maybe I would have come to you. But, judging that I was perfectly fine, I decided it wasn't worth it."

"Rose, I'm your mother. Nothing you say is going to change that. I am your mother, and there are certain things children must always tell their mothers. This is one of them." With that, mum turned on her heel, and apparated away.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, turning to Scorpius. My mum had just walked out on me. Mum was never one to walk away. Finally Scorpius just shrugged his shoulders. "You know, if you'd like to repeat that speech when my mum gets here, I'd totally be okay with you taking the reins." He stated, no joking in his eyes. Scorpius was terrified of his mother. I mean they loved each other dearly and all, but she could be quite the terrifying woman when she wanted to be. I had seen the way she could go off on him when she got mad.

"Nope. That'll be all you." I smirked.

His face fell, "Dammit. I was really hoping that wouldn't be the answer."

It had been three days since the article in the profit had come out, and Astoria Malfoy still hadn't shown up at our doorstep.

I had to admit, I was quite surprised. Astoria was one of those women that did't take shit from anyone. When she wanted something done, she got it done. When she wanted something done her way, it was done her way. Especially when the person she was up against was her husband or son. Scorpius had been going mad the past few days. He couldn't decide if he should go see her, or if she would eventually just come to him, or, his most hopeful thought, maybe she hadn't read the profit because she had decided to isolate herself from the wizarding world. It was made perfectly clear this was not the case.

We were snuggled on the couch, watching a TV show when we heard a pounding on the door.

"SCORPIUS HYPERION MALFOY! YOU OPEN UP THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!" Scorpius cringed as he heard Astoria screaming. When he pulled the door open, Astoria marched past him, and turned. She proceeded to yell at Scorpius, saying almost the identical thing that my mum had. When I finally got tired of watching Scorpius try to mumble out an explanation, I interrupted.

"Astoria, listen. I'll tell you the exact same thing I told my mum." And, I proceeded to do exactly that. When I was done, Astoria stared at her son, "You married a smart girl Scorpius. And you better treat her right, cause she knows how to save your ass better than anyone else ever could." When I giggled, she turned on me. "Rose Weasley, you know I love you to death, and I can see you got your mother's logical way of thinking. Just try to see things by her point of view, and I will be expecting updates from now on. Don't make me come banging on your door to get them next time." Suddenly her voice completely changed, it was sweet and weirdly angelic. "By the way, I thing a congratulations are in order." She winked, and strutted out the door.

Scorpius stared at the closed door for a moment, "She's mad. That woman is bloody insane." He came behind me to wrap his arms around my waist. "Thanks, by the way" he whispered in my ear. I turned in his arms so that my face was inches away from his. I shrugged. "It was nothing."

"No, really, my mum's right. You are an amazing woman. And I'm so happy you decided to be mine. I really don't know what I would have done through the years without you. Sometimes I can't remember why you decided to be with me in the first place, but I'm bloody thankful for whatever it is," I could tell a blush was creeping onto my cheeks. "I feel like I don't tell you enough. You really are the most amazing, loving, crazy, fun, beautiful person I know."

I leaned towards him, I could feel his breath on my face. His lips were soft against mine. They moved gently. I could feel my heart beginning to pound faster and faster in my chest. At the same time that I pulled myself closer to him, he was pressing his body against mine. He hoisted me off the ground then, his arms under me, my legs straddling him. He walked us over to the kitchen counter, and sat me on it. My fingers were intertwined in his hair, and his hands were on my back. Pressing me into him, however close we got wouldn't be close enough. I started unbuttoning his shirt. And that's when he stopped. He pulled away.

"Rose," he whispered. I looked into his eyes searching, and that's when I knew that's as far as we were going to go tonight.

"Why?" I whined. "I just want,"

"I know-" he interrupted me. "I know what you want, and believe me I want it to. But, not yet. Just a few more months, until we're in the all clear."

I nodded. I understood, I really did. I didn't want to do anything that would cause any harm to the baby. And, just like exercise, this was one of the things the healers had warned me off of, for the first few months. But, it was so hard. I missed sex. I really missed sex.

"I feel like a weird celibate couple," I pouted. "like we have to wait for some sort of special date or something."

Scorpius laughed. "You just know that It'll all be worth it. We'll have crazy sex after the first trimester."

"This is why." I gazed up at him.

"Hmm?"

"You wonder why I chose you. This is why."

"Because I'll have crazy sex with you…?" Scorpius gave me a look as if I had gone crazy. "I guess you're more sex-crazed than I thought." He raised his eyebrows at me.

"No stupid! Because you know exactly what to say and when to say it. Other guys would jump at the chance to get at their wife who they've been deprived of for _ weeks. But not you. That's what I love about you. You said I was loving? You're one of the most caring people I know. And I love you so much for it. I know you'll always be there for me, even through the toughest times. That's why I chose you." He placed a soft kiss on my lips.

"Not to mention the fact that I'm completely gorgeous, right?" he asked raising one eyebrow at me.

I giggled and bit my lip. "Not to mention that you are completely and utterly gorgeous." I laughed and pressed my lips to his again.

The next morning, I actually sat down to read the article about Scorpius and I in the profit. It read

It was about two o'clock am yesterday morning, when Rose Weasley and her husband of three years, Scorpius Malfoy, apparated into St.M's. When the couple arrived, as shown in the picture, Rose was in tears and our witness says Scorpius yelled out that she was eight weeks pregnant and experiencing pain in her abdomen. It was made clear why the couple was so frantic when he mentioned her having already had a miscarriage. After looking at some hospital records, we found it has been about eight months since the incident. This may explain Rose's drop-out from interning as a healer earlier this year, as well as why she wasn't seen around London until she publicly reappeared at her cousin Lily Potter's marriage to Nate Crawford four months prior. This brings up other questions in our offices. Why did Rose have a miscarriage? And has the new baby gone the same way as the first? Or are mother and baby healthy at home?

This news also brings up more questions. Are there other things the precious golden trio and family are hiding from us, and how far will the wizarding world go to find out.

God, people could be so dramatic sometimes.
