Why this must be read: This fic goes down as a classic in my book! Ron and Hermione have welcomed Harry into their home and their bed, but the war and loss of Ginny have made Harry way too insecure and broken to be sure of his place in their relationship, impending fatherhood, and his general sanity. And I'm really not doing full justice to the plot with my clunky description, it's really moving and interesting. Major Harry angst ahoy! The characterization is great, love the writing style and the heartbreaking angst.
He heard them whispering, and tried to walk away. Find somewhere to not be intruding.
"We are going to have to talk about it, Ron!" Hermione hissed.
He stood, frozen - listening despite himself. I’m pathetic, he thought.
"Why?" sighed Ron wearily. "Can’t we just let it be? It is what it is. We are both okay with it. Don’t make it more complicated than it is already."
"But it IS complicated!"
"No. It’s simple. We’ll do whatever it takes. We’ll give whatever we have. I know that. You know that. And I think Harry knows that."
Funny how to Ron it really was that simple, thought Harry.
There was a pause. Harry heard a muffled sniff.
"Come here," said Hermione more gently. "Are you sure you don’t mind? Are you sure we can make it work?"
"I’m sure." Ron sighed again deeply. "So sure. Except for one thing."
"What is it?"
"Babies."
Silence.
"I don’t know if I could handle you having his baby."
A chair scraped gently.
"I won’t."
"How can you say that? How do you know?… You wouldn’t…!"
"NO, Ron. I wouldn't!" Hermione drew a deep breath. "…Ron…"
Her voice sounded so small. Harry found himself straining to hear the next husky phrase.
"It’s a bit late to be worrying about that...really. There’s... there's already one there. I… I didn’t know how to tell you… I thought you’d be cross…"
"CROSS!!!!"
"Shhhhh! Well, frightened…"
Somehow, Harry knew that Ron was smiling.
