Chapter Six - She Heard You Right

Rose and Ron were really close to each other and Hermione can't deny it. She knew deep down inside that her daughter was longing to have a father. They were always together, they were always happy, even though Hermione won't admit it to herself. But she knew in her heart that Ron completed her life again.


One rainy evening, about 10:00 pm, a loud knock woke her up. She turned on the lights and went on the front door. She opened it and it revealed Ron. He's really wet and shivering.


"Oh gosh Ronald Weasley! Come in!" Hermione hurriedly went in her room and pulled a huge bath towel and Ron's old shirt and pants for him.


"Ron, dry yourself up and change your clothes. You'll get sick. I'll make you a hot chocolate." Hermione handed the towel and clothes to Ron. He just smiled to himself when he realized that Hermione still kept his shirt.


Hermione brought the hot chocolate in the living room where Ron was.


"Thank you Mione." Ron said, while sipping the drink. Hermione just smiled. She was about to get up when Ron held her hand and pulled her to sit down. When she was sitting, Ron hugged her tightly. Hermione felt warm but suddenly, she was shrugging her shoulder. She was trying to escape because she didn't want Ron to know she still have feelings for him. She was afraid she'll let herself be fooled by Ron.


"Could you please let me go?" Hermione protested.


"Why would I? I missed you Hermione, I'm so sorry for what I've done four years ago. I was just—I was just afraid and confused." Ron replied.


Tears were streaming down on Hermione's face making Ron look at her.


"Sssh... Don't cry Mione. Don't cry."


"Why would I stop? You hurt my feelings, REAL BAD, and now you're here, saying sorry? What do you expect me to do? Forgive you? Yes, I'm not able to erase the fact that you're Rose's father but don't you ever tell her!"


"Rose has the right to know Hermione! She's my daughter!"


They never knew Rose was wide awake listening to their conversation.


"Mister Ronald Weasley, you're my daddy?" Hermione and Ron looked at her, shocked.


"and mommy, you never told me he's my father?! You two don't love me." By that, Rose ran quickly outside. Hermione wasn't able to finish what she was explaining and they realized Rose disappeared. The two ran quickly outside so that they could catch Rose, but the girl's not in sight.


"Rose! Baby! Come back here!" Ron shouted.


"Baby! Come back here... Please Rose, mom's really worried!" Hermione's voice was shaking.


"I know where she is." Ron held Hermione's hand and they walked towards the Deli's Ice cream shop. 'Ron is a good father.' Hermione thought to herself. It was raining cats and dogs when they found Rose sitting and leaning against the big statue of Ice cream shop. Hermione walked in front of her and faced her daughter.


"Hey baby." Hermione said.


"Mommy, is Mister Ron my daddy, for real?" Rose asked.


Hermione just nodded as tears dwelled up on the sides of her brown eyes. Ron popped beside Rose and carried her.


"I think we should go. You're gonna be sick if we stay here."


Hermione followed them while walking.


"Mister, you're my real daddy, so can I call you daddy? And my surname will change into like yours." Rose giggled.


"Yes, you may." Ron smiled. Hermione smiled too 'cause just seeing her daughter happy makes her happy too.
