Chapter 6: Telling the Family
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER!
Even when the children were at school, the Weasley family still got together every Sunday. The rest of the family knew Rose was home they just did not know the reason why. "Rose!" Molly Weasley said hugging her granddaughter. The rest of the family followed the matriarch's lead. Rose looked at her mother, she and her parents agreed to tell everyone after dinner. Hermione and Ron sat next to her and did their best to hide their worry. Once everyone was full and sitting in the living room, Ron stood. "Okay, so now would probably be the best time to tell you why Rose is home so early." Ron said looking at his family. Rose stood next and let her father sit with her mother. "Well one, Scorpius and I are no longer together, two it's not because of what you think, three I'm not sick, and four...our family is going to have a new addition in five months." Rose saw all of her aunts and uncles and her grandparents turn their attention to her mum. "Mum isn't the one who is pregnant. I am." Rose said. No one said a word; they all just stared in complete and utter shock. Rose could not help but break into tears. Hermione walked over and lead her back to the sofa.
Ron took this as a signal to finish. "When she told Scorpius he pushed her away and told her he wanted nothing to do with her or the baby. That he didn't care about them." Ron turned to Harry and Ginny, "He's now dating Lily. Hugo told us earlier this week." Rose nodded. "Petal, it's okay love. We've got you, ok? We're going to get you through this just like we did your mum and dad understand?" Bill said pulling her into one of his hugs he had for her and only her. "All of her aunts and uncles nodded. George came next, "Bud, I know it's hard now but Lils is insecure that's why she went out with him. He will miss what he had with you and regret anything he said." George said. "Slow down, there little brother," Charlie said. "I think we should give him room to apologize to our Petal first." He added. Harry sighed, "I agree with George, Lillian was wrong to do so. I think Gin and I need to go have a discussion with our daughter about this." Harry added talking Ginny by the hand and disapperating. After receiving short pep talks from all of her aunts and uncles as well as her grandparents, knowing Harry and Ginny would give her one later, Rose began talking to her aunts about things for the baby and Hermione was talking to her parents who had just arrived. Claire Granger and Timothy Granger had walked in only to hear their only granddaughter announcing that she was pregnant. Claire was immediately at Rose's side. "Oh sweetie, it's going to be okay. I promise, how did your appointment go?" Immediately all of the head s in the room shot up when Rose mentioned that she got a picture to keep. Soon enough Ron pulled his copy out his brothers, father, and father in law crowded around him. Rose did the same and her aunts and grandmothers, did the same. "Oh sweetie, so everything is good?" Rose nodded. "Yes Nana everything is great. We get to know the gender in two weeks." Rose added. George spoke "Where the bloody hell is the git? Was he there? Has he come to his senses? Men I say we go kick the bloke where it hurts!" Molly Weasley stopped her son. "George Weasley you will not do such a thing. Rosie will need him soon and hopefully he does come to his right senses."
