Review: I think maybe you could have Ron and Astoria involved a little more. Maybe Lavender getting bashed too. Just a few ideas. Thanks for replying to the earlier review.

Reply: It's no problem! And don't worry. They'll be in some chapters but my main people/couples that I'm focused on is Ginny/Draco and Harry/Hermione. Sorry!

Onto the story!

Chapter Eighteen

Good and Bad Surprises

Ginny shivered even though she was cuddled up in five thick blankets and a heater was beside her on her face. Though she shivered, she was not cold. She was burning up on the inside. Her face, legs, arms, everywhere just felt too hot.

The hotness was making it hard to breathe so she took a lot of breaths and she was beginning to get really dizzy from how much effort it was taking. It was giving her major headaches from the lack of oxygen she was receiving.

She was laying on the couch in the sitting room because she couldn't stand to move or sit up. It hurt her joints and bones too much. And she was crouched in fetal position a lot because she was having abdominal pains all the time.

The abdominal pain was making close to impossible to eat anything. She tried to eat some soup but ended up throwing up. She gave up on eating because it didn't even seem that appetizing anymore. She guessed she had lost around 15 pounds in the last two days. (Can you guess what she has yet?)

Draco was constantly checking up on here, making sure she was comfy, checking her temperature constantly, which stayed around 40 degrees Celsius but dropped to 39 degrees at the lowest.

He rubbed her back and shushed her when she whimpered in pain but when he came back and saw her with silent tears rushing down her face, he rushed her to St. Mungo's. Period.

They ran multiple diagnostic tests on her but none of them came up with anything. So he took her to a muggle hospital hoping that they would have an answer. And they did. Though it wasn't anything they were expecting.

Leukemia.

Draco nor Ginny had no clue what this disease what but were shocked with what they learned. Leukemia was the cancer of the blood or bone marrow. Apparently, Ginny's blood cells were damaged in some way and they don't die easily, so they occupy more and more space. There is less space for her normal blood cells so she became sick because, more damaged cells were occupying her body than normal cells were.

And she had Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). This disease is not treated in the wizarding world. The reason why she had caught it was simply, genetic predisposition. Where her mother had twins, it did something to the blood in her body.

They prescribed her Gleevec, which blocks out the BCR-ALB cancer gene. She would take these pills everyday until she got a bone marrow transplant, which took place here in two weeks. She had to come in every two days for a check-up, because something wrong could easily happen.

They were both in shock. Not only because she was diagnosed with Leukemia. But for something else too.

She was pregnant. Four weeks along.

Hermione retched loudly into the toilet. Astoria had her hair pulled back and was rubbing her back. Hermione sobbed a little and settled her head on the toilet.

"I don't know what's wrong with me!" Hermione groaned.

Astoria cleared her throat. "Hermione, maybe you need to use this." Hermione looked behind her to see a pregnancy test in front of her face.

Her eyes got wide.

"No. No. No. I can't be."

*Four hours earlier*

Hermione was getting ready in her room when Astoria entered the room.

"Hiya Hermione!" Astoria said brightly.

"'Ello Asto-!" Hermione was cut off as she felt bile rising to her throat.

"Hermione?" Astoria asked as Hermione ran to the bathroom and knelt down in front of the toilet to throw up the entire contents she had ate for breakfast. Astoria rushed into the bathroom and gasped, then held up Hermione's hair.

As Hermione finished throwing her guts up, she got up and brushed her teeth vigorously.

"Ugh" She braced herself against the sink counter and gathered her mind together then walked back to the center of her room.

"What was that, Hermione?"

"Stomach-bug. It's been happening for a while." Astoria eyes had a certain gleam to them but Hermione decided to ignore that.

"Are you sure?" Astoria asked, rocking back and forth on her heels.

"Yes. This always happens to me around this time of year usually."

Astoria made a noise in the back of her throat and they went about, getting ready to eat lunch with Ron and Harry.

Hermione rolled her eyes. So what if she's been getting sick for a week. It always happens to her. She finished getting ready, with her black skull sweater, light blue skinny's, and black supra's. She applied very minimal make-up, wing earrings, a three part necklace, and a studded black bracelet.

Astoria was wearing a Five Seconds Of Summer Crop Top, jean shorts and full black high top converses. She was also wearing small earrings that had the word 'Radical' written on them. She wore a infinity symbol ring, a heart necklace, and black ring.

As they went downstairs, the smelt the aroma of recently cooked food scented the whole level of the floor. Hermione and Astoria both followed the scent of the aroma to the new repaired kitchen.

The entire counter was full of different types of meat, vegetables, fruits, grains, juices, wines, and any type of dessert you could think of. Hermione and Astoria both dug into the food, as the boys were already eating away to their heart content. Halfway through the meal, Hermione felt a tingling in her stomach.

She hastily excused herself from the table and ran from the kitchen, noticing footsteps behind her.

Hermione burst open the bathroom door and got on her knees in front of the toilet and threw up all of the contents she had just consumed.

Hermione retched loudly into the toilet. Astoria had her hair pulled back and was rubbing her back. Hermione sobbed a little and settled her head on the toilet.

"I don't know what's wrong with me!" Hermione groaned.

Astoria cleared her throat. "Hermione, maybe you need to use this." Hermione looked behind her to see a pregnancy test in front of her face.

Her eyes got wide.

"No. No. No. I can't be."

"Better to be safe then sorry, Hermione. I'll give you a few moments." Astoria left the bathroom and Hermione stared at the test for a few minutes and decided to take it. It was better to be safe than sorry.

Five minutes passed. She had already taken the test. But she was afraid of the result. Her hand shaking, she lifted up the test and looked at the word written on the test.

Positive.

Shaking her head, she stood up and opened the door and put the test in Astoria's hands before running up the steps, shutting her door and locking the door.

This was supposed to be a good thing. But she hadn't wanted kids for another couple of years at the earliest.

How did this happen?

They had always been so careful. Hermione searched through her mind for anything that might of happened and she remembered that, two weeks ago, Harry had cast the contraceptive charm, but it only lasted for two hours and they spent well more than two hours making love. She smacked her head against the door and groaned.

How could they be so stupid?

"Hermione? Are you okay?" A knock resonated at the door and Harry's voice came traveling through the door. It was muffled but she could still hear it.

"Hermione?" The banging got louder.

"Yes?" She yelled, her voice muffled by her head tucked between her knees.

"Can I come in?" She stood up, opened the door then went and laid on her bed on her back.

Harry stepped in the door way and shut the door, then laid beside her and pulled her against him.

"What's wrong Mione?" He asked, smoothing her hair down with his hand.

"I'm sick, Harry."

"What do you mean? We need to get you to a doctor then!" He stated and rushed to get up. She pulled him back down.

"Its a long term sickness. It last for nine months Harry." Harry froze and looked at her.

"Nine months? Do you mean...?"

"Harry...I'm pregnant." She expected silence, and that was it.

But she did not expect him to swoop down, kiss her, and pick her off the bed to spin her.

His eyes were brightened. "You're pregnant. We're going to have a baby." Then he kissed her again and she thought, 'Maybe getting pregnant sooner wasn't that bad of a thing after all.'
