Chapter 15: Wave to Mommy

"Okay, we can do this." Scorpius held Rose's hand tightly before they walked into her family's sitting room. She had just gotten done with lunch with Scorpius and her parents, and things had gone fairly well—at least, better than Rose had expected. One particular episode had put Rose on edge, but Scorpius had managed to get through it unscathed. Scorpius had made a joke about Rose going through a rebellious phase, and while her mother had laughed lightly, her father had not been at all amused.

"Yes, some would call it rebellious," he began. "Others would call it stupid and potentially dangerous." Hermione shot her husband a warning look, and Rose said, "Dad!" But Scorpius had held his ground.

"Dangerous, sir?" he asked simply.

"Don't think we've forgotten who your family is, Scorpius," Ron said in a threatening tone. "Your grandfather was a Death Eater. Your father was a Death Eater. Your grandmother, your great aunt, and countless other members of your family were Death Eaters," Ron continued on and narrowed his eyes. "My wife and my brother-in-law may have forgiven and forgotten, but I'll never forget that my brother is dead because of the likes of people like your family."

Rose clenched her jaw and for a moment, she thought Scorpius would simply give in, but after a few seconds, he spoke quietly.

"With all due respect, Mr. Weasley, I am not my family, and we are not our mistakes."

Scorpius said nothing more than that one sentence, and Ron said nothing else. Rose contained a smile, and Hermione nodded. After that, her father made no more snide comments about the Malfoys or about anything else regarding his past experiences with the old family. Scorpius may have been able to hold his ground, but his heart was racing, and while Ron held his tongue after that, his hands were trembling slightly with anger. He would never forgive or forget, but for his daughter, Ron would try his hardest to accept Scorpius while he was still in his daughter's life.

After lunch, her parents had retreated to the other room, and Scorpius had given Rose a pep talk to prepare her to tell her parents about her condition and their future plans.

Rose and Scorpius walked into the sitting room, and Ron and Hermione Weasley both stopped talking immediately and looked up at them. It was clear to both Scorpius and Rose that the other couple had just been talking about the two of them. Rose stood in front of her parents with her feet planted to the ground. She decided to just say it. She knew that if she didn't just get it out that she would never be able to. Rose took a deep breath before she said, "Mom. Dad. Scorpius and I are getting married… and I'm pregnant." Ron dropped the glass he had been holding and it shattered on the ground. Hermione fainted.

One year and five months later

"Oh, look who it is, Kennie. Wave to mommy!"

Scorpius Malfoy held his daughter, Kendra, in his arms on Platform 9 ¾ at King's Cross Station. He held up her hand and waved it in the direction of Rose Weasley-Malfoy, who was stepping off of the Hogwarts Express. When Rose spotted them, she screamed and covered her mouth before she ran over to them. As soon as she reached them, she took Kendra out of Scorpius's arms and swung her nine month old baby around above her head. Kendra laughed and screamed in delight in her mother's arms. Rose brought Kendra back down as she leaned in to kiss her husband.

"Merlin, I have missed you both so much," Rose said as Scorpius wrapped an arm around her. Rose nuzzled Kendra and held her closer as Scorpius held them both tightly. The crisp December air was biting at all their faces as the small family held each other at the beginning of Rose's winter holiday time off from her seventh and final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For the past several months, Rose had been away at school finishing out her final year at Hogwarts, and during this time, she had been separated from her husband and child. Rose had missed them desperately, and she was not sure how she would be able to say goodbye at the end of the holidays. Now, however, she could not think about that. All she could think of how Scorpius's arms felt around her and how sweet the sound of her daughter's laughter sounded in her ears.

"You better get that baby out of the cold," Rose heard a voice say happily behind her. When Rose turned around she saw her mother and father standing behind her smiling. It had taken some coaxing and some getting used to, but Ron and Hermione had finally warmed to the idea of Rose marrying Scorpius. And when the baby had been born, all doubt had flown from their minds the moment they had seen their granddaughter's face.

Hermione walked closer and scooped Kendra out of Rose's arms, and Rose hugged her father. "Hi, Rosie," he said into her hair as they hugged. Despite the fights they had gotten into over the last year and half, it still felt good to be held in her father's arms. After they pulled out of the hug, Ron and Scorpius shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.

"Oh, I can never get enough of Kennie's beautiful face," Hermione said as she held Kendra in her arms and laid several kisses on her cheeks. Ron smiled and tickled Kendra playfully as Hermione held her and Kendra screamed with laughter. Ron kissed Kendra on the forehead right before her brother Hugo, her cousins, and her Aunt Ginny and Uncle Harry walked over to them. After each of them kissed, hugged, and took turns holding Kendra, a voice sounded behind them.

"Let me hold my granddaughter." Everyone turned around and faced Draco Malfoy, who was standing slightly behind them. Scorpius whispered to Rose that Draco had driven Scorpius and Kendra to King's Cross, and Rose nodded and smiled happily. Draco smiled as Lily placed Kendra in his arms. "Man she's beautiful," he whispered as he looked at her. When he finally looked up from her he nodded towards Harry, Ron, and Hermione. He extended a hand to Harry and Ron, and while Ron was still slightly cold to Draco, he did take his hand with an element of warmth. Then he leaned in and placed a kiss on Hermione's cheek.

Everyone took a few minutes to catch up, and then Rose and Scorpius announced that they needed to be getting Kendra home. Before Draco, Rose, Scorpius, and Kendra walked away, Hermione asked, "You'll be joining us for dinner on Christmas won't you Draco?" Draco had recently divorced his wife Astoria, and Rose had asked her mother to invite Draco to Christmas so that Scorpius would not have to leave his father alone. Draco had been hesitant about agreeing to join them when Hermione had first invited him, but after some convincing on behalf of Rose and Scorpius, Draco had finally agreed. Now, Hermione was just giving him a friendly reminder of her invitation.

"I wouldn't miss it," Draco said with a smile.

When everyone said their goodbyes and Draco finally took them home, Rose and Scorpius were finally able to relax in their London apartment after putting Kendra down for a nap. Rose curled up and laid her head on Scorpius's lap.

"I'm never going to want to go back," Rose said. She sighed contentedly.

"Well, we're not going to want you to go back," Scorpius said.

"I love you, Scorpius."

"I love you, too, Rose. Now and forever."
