CHAPTER 12: Why Is He Here?
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER
"Well, I wanted to know if you wanted to go out with me after the appointment next week. After we find out the gender of the baby, I mean. Maybe go shopping?" Scorpius asked. "You shopping? Are you feeling okay? All you want to do when we go to Hogsmade is sit at the Leaky Cauldron and talk. Never once have you wanted to go shopping." Rose said. "Well, I have something to do and I want you to come with me." Scorpius said. "Well, this may be one of the few times I might actually get you to go shopping with me so I will take it."
Scorpius nodded. "I knew you would." He said kissing her. "The headmistress only gave me a half hour love. I have to get back." Rose kissed him back. "Wait, why were you talking to my dad?" Rose asked. "Patience love. Patience. You will find out soon enough." Scorpius said kissing her forehead, before kneeling down and pressing his lips to her small growing belly. "Now, you be good for mummy now ok?" Scorpius said kissing her stomach. "I will owl you tomorrow love. I promise." Rose nodded. "I'll be waiting."
Rose smiled and waved as he walked back into the floo and disapperated. Rose walked back downstairs, with her dinner. "So? What took you so long?" Ron asked smirking. "You knew he was here the whole time?" Rose asked. Ron just nodded. "I did indeed." He said still smirking. "I have a feeling something's going on because he wants to go shopping with me next week after the appointment." Ron let out a cough. "Well don't look at me I can't tell you anything strict orders from young Mr. Malfoy." Hermione looked at him. "Rose obviously you are planning a lot right now. However, I know you aren't planning to live with us the rest of your life. But what are your plans after the baby is born?" Rose sat down and signed. "I haven't really thought about that yet. I know that you said it would be best to stay here for a few months just until I can get an apartment and a job. Scorpius wants to help too but he will be with his parents. And obviously I am trying to do a lot right now and keep myself from stressing out."
"I know dear that's why your father and I think its best you stay here for a while longer than a few months. Let us help you with the baby. You are going to need sleep and need us to help you with some things." Hermione added. "That being said I am starting a nursery for my grandchild. No ifs ands or buts about it." Ron added. Rose nodded silently, there was no stopping him from doing so and if that's what he wanted that's what he got. Rose smiled and hugged her parents. Then as they did when she was a child the three of them sat on the couch, her in the middle and in the embraces of her parents the three of them watched a movie.
