Spells, Charms, and Babies? Oh My!

 

Chapter 3

 

Ron looked at Hermione with serious eyes and took her hand in his. Hermione trembled with all the bottled up emotions and stress she held. She gave him a weary smile that looked much more like a grimace. Silently, he opened his arms and brought her to bear against his chest. He, himself, leaned back until he rested against the head board of his bed.

 

“Ssh, Hermione,” Ron murmured rubbing her back, “I know I'm a twit sometimes. I'm sorry. It's just… I thought we were using protection. I can't believe… You told Harry before me? Why?”

 

Hermione sniffled and looked up at him, “I… Ron, you're my boyfriend and my best friend. Harry, on the other hand, is the best friend I have when I'm too nervous to discuss something with you. I told Harry because… well, I didn't know what to expect from you. I know I should have trusted you a lot more. I'm just… just… I'm scared.”

 

Ron kissed her thick bushy hair and hugged his arms around her tighter, “I get it now. You know what… I haven't told you this and I had planned on it today.”

 

Hermione looked up at him seriously, “Please tell me you're not breaking up with me? Of all the most insensitive… jack-ass…. THINGS, a person could do!”

 

Ron shook his head laughing, “No, no, no! Hermione calm down… Jeez, you must be pregnant. I've never heard that language from you before or seen you angry that quickly. You know, it's kind of hot.”

 

Hermione hit him on his chest. The hit was only half serious but still packed enough of a punch to make Ron give a muffled `umph'. Ron chuckled and kissed her lightly on the lips. Hermione sighed and nuzzled against his neck afterwards. Curious though, she leaned up to look him in the eyes.

 

“Well, what was it that you wanted to say?” she demanded softly.

 

Ron smiled and rubbed his thumb against her cheek, “I love you, Hermione Granger. That's what I wanted to say. I wanted to tell you before… but then we got carried away and I always got lost in you. I just want you to know. I always felt it Hermione. I always loved you.”

 

Hermione felt a few tears slip down her cheeks and a true smile fitted her face. She leaned in to kiss Ron and wrapped her arms around his neck. Ron grinned just before their lips met. The chaste kiss quickly became deeper and the couple was soon giving off moans and groans of pleasure. Ron and turned over so that Hermione lay beneath him. It was at this time; a pillow flew and smacked Ron upside the head.

 

Hermione giggled as Ron turned to glare at the culprit. Harry gave a grin and turned back over. The pair blushed as their friend spoke.

 

“I told you to keep it in your pants. I'm trying to sleep and you keep interrupting a good dream with the `mmmm's and `ahhh's. If you are trying to make me sick, you're doing a good job. If not… find a different room,” Harry chuckled after speaking, telling his friends he was joking, partly at least.

 

Ron looked at Hermione and gave a charmingly sheepish grin, “I guess we'd better back off.”

 

Hermione nodded, “I'm sorry. I just couldn't help myself. Oh, dash it all, Ron?”

 

Ron looked into her eyes. His gaze held a bevy of worry, love, and passion in their depths.

 

“Yes?”

 

Hermione smiled, “I love you too.”

 

Ron chuckled and gave a quick, albeit passionate, kiss. He moved to lie on his side and rested his hand of the bit of Hermione's stomach that had revealed itself during their battle of passions. He looked up at her as he rubbed his hands over the place that might hold a child… their child. Carefully, he reached a spare hand into the pockets of his pants.

 

“Hermione,” he started of slowly, seriously, “I love you. I know this wasn't what we planned but you must know that I will never leave you to bear this alone. You're the reason I wake up in the morning… well aside from breakfast.” He laughed as Hermione hit him lightly, “I want you to know that I had planned on asking this soon and I'm not just asking because of our current situation.”

 

Hermione watched as he pulled a box out of his pocket. The tiny box was covered in a black velvety fabric and Hermione's brown eyes widened at the sight. Her hand covered her mouth as Ron started to speak again.

 

“Hermione Granger,” Ron murmured, “Will you marry me?”

 

Hermione coughed lightly and could only nod as her powers of speech were ripped from her. Ron chuckled and kissed her softly, while placing the simple platinum band with a small heart diamond on her finger. Hermione started crying with happiness as they kissed, leading Ron's caring fingers to wipe them away. When they pulled apart Hermione could only stare at the ring on her hand. It was simple but it was beautiful and she smiled up at Ron.

 

“Oh Ron, it's wonderful,” Hermione murmured, “I love you.”

 

“I love you,” he grinned, “and I'm going to kiss you how I want to and `Mr. Can't Get Laid' can shove it because I love you and you're my fiancé.”

 

Harry chuckled quietly and murmured quietly, “Tell the `Mr. Can't Get Laid' crack to Ginny. I'm sure she'd get a good laugh at that one.”

 

Ron chose to ignore whatever Harry had said as he kissed his bride-to-be. Hermione smiled and tunneled her fingers into the flaming hair of her fiancé. The two kissed voraciously until they remembered air was necessary for life. They parted gasping and Ron rested his forehead against Hermione.

 

“So, do you know how we're going to tell Mum?”

 

 

To be Continued…

 

(A/N: Uh-oh. I wonder how Mrs. Weasley is going to take the news. I'm sorry this chapter got a little more serious but I needed it to. Ron and Hermione's relationship needed to develop. Trust me; there is more comedy to be had, and also more serious moments in the future. Plus, they still don't know for sure if Hermione is pregnant. Sigh, Drama, drama, drama. Thanks to my awesome reviewers, connieewing, Ginny PoshSpice, sarah-keyko, and fliengdolphine. I am so glad you enjoy my story and I thank you for the wonderful reviews. Until next time, please continue reading and reviewing… May your lives be blessed.
