My Better Half

6 - Not What I Expected

- Scene from Grey's Anatomy that I do not own the copyrights to

I knocked on the door and not even 1 minute later, Derek appeared on the other side. As soon as he saw me, his face grew a huge smile.

I looked at him and my eyes watered.

"Hey, D." I said as my voice cracked.

His smile slightly dropped as he noticed my change in demeanor.

"E, what's wrong?" Derek asked me.

I walked past him and into the house, stupidly cursing myself that I left my coat. He opened this arms and softly wrapped me in a hug.

I wiped my eyes as we walked into the living room. I sat in the sofa and smiled at him.

"I've missed you, D." I told him as he rubbed my back.

"I've missed you too, E. You didn't answer my question though. What's wrong?" Derek asked me.

"I just got home a few hours ago. I was with Ron, I was happy. Then everything went to shit. I swear, we argue about the same fucking stuff." I said as I rubbed my temples.

I felt a flutter in my stomach and my whole expression changed. I began to chuckle and put my hand on my stomach.

"What? What happened?" Derek asked.

"One of the babies just kicked. I think it was Elizabeth." I said, reaching for Derek's hand.

I dragged his hand across my stomach and I laid back as we waited for the baby to kick.

I felt another flutter as I moved Derek's hand to the spot. It cluttered again and I giggled.

"Do you feel that? I think that's Robbie." I said, as a huge smile tugged at my lips.

"Yeah, I felt that. You're naming your kids Elizabeth and Robbie?" Derek asked.

"Yeah. Elizabeth after me. Robbie after Ron. We were also thinking of Elliot and Robin. It'll come to me when I give birth." I said with a smile.

Ron's POV

I tried to go back to sleep after Elena left but it didn't work. I got up and walked over to the wall. I began crying. I don't cry.

Lenie's stupid pregnancy hormones rubbing off on me. I really messed up. I always do this. I don't know why, I'm not an insecure person.

It's just been like that ever since Lenie left for college. And then she met Lip, and he's a good looking guy.

What if she leaves me? I can't survive without her. That was proven during the war.

"Fuck!" I shouted.

Before I even knew what I was doing, I punched a hole through the wall. I pulled my hand out and it was covered in paint dust and cuts.

I winced as I pulled my pants on. I tugged on my jacket and my shoes as I stood to my feet. I apparated out of Lenie's room and into the living room at Grimmauld Place.

I was greeted with a shocked Derek as he sat up, Lenie asleep on his shoulder.

"Hey. May I?" I asked, pointing his seat on the couch.

He nodded as held Lenie's head while I took his spot. Derek left the room as I rested her head in my lap.

I ran my fingers through her hair as she balled up a little.

Elena's POV

I woke up and my head was in someone's lap. I discreetly looked up and saw Ron sleeping peacefully. I lifted up and slightly shook him.

"Ron."'I whispered.

His eyes fluttered open and he looked down at me. I smiled at him and reached for his hand. He gave it to me and we disapparated from Grimmauld Place, appearing back in my room.

"Be my fiancé. Take off your clothes, get in bed, and hold me." I told him.

I walked over to my bed and when I turned back to Ron, he was still standing in the same spot. I scoffed and walked back over to him.

"I don't know what you're so mad about and I don't know what you're scared of , because, you won't talk to me! But I'm scared too, Ron. And I-I can't-. If you won't-. If we're going to have any chance at a life together, I need you. Please." I said as I reached my hands to cup his face.

He caught my hand in the air and scoffed. We stared at each other in an awkward silence.

"You died in my arms. You died in my arms! You fucking died, and now you're living across the world, pregnant. You want to know what I'm scared of?" Ron said, slightly raising his voice.

I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out.

"I'm scared of everything! I'm scared to move, I'm scared to breathe, I'm scared to touch you. I can't lose you, I won't survive." Ron continued.

The room fell silent again as he rubbed his temples.

"You made me love you. You made me let you in. And then you go and die in my arms?" Ron queries.

I reached up again and cupped his face in my hands. I brought his head down to mine as our foreheads touched.

I ran my fingers through his hair, drawing circles on his scalp. He breathed out shakily as his eyes met mine. I stood on my toes and planted a soft kiss on his lips.

He leaned down and scooped me up as I laughed.

He laid me down on the bed as he snuggled in behind me, his arms wrapping around me, pulling me closer to his chest.

I felt his heartbeat on my back and his breath on my neck as I drew on his hand with my finger. He nuzzled his face into my head as he planted a kiss to it.

I whispered to myself and Ron squeezed my stomach a little.

"I love you. I can't lose you. I'll back off. You're allowed to be friends with whoever." Ron whispered.

"I know I can. I love you, too." I replied as Ron softly bit on my ear.

My life isn't perfect but my love for him is.
