I don't own Harry Potter apparently. :P Reviews Please.
The love of Harry's life sat on the hospital bed. Her once swollen stomach was now just a tiny bit of fat. Her flaming red hair was tied in a ponytail and damped with sweat. She looked beautiful to Harry. She was just amazing. Harry paid small attention to Ginny though. Right then, his emerald green eyes were fixed on the small infant wrapped up in a sky blue blanket. A tight, matching, soft hat was firmly placed on the baby's small head. The baby's eyes flashed open quickly letting Ginny and Harry both know that their second son had Harry's one of a kind eyes. A miraculous feeling swarmed through Harry. He didn't understand why, but with the flicker of his son's eyes Harry's heart melted.
"Harry, he looks just like you." Murmured Ginny softly. She placed her lips lightly on her son's head and smiled.
"I-I guess so…" said Harry as her watched his son move his arms around a bit.
"I've always wanted a son with your eyes, Harry." Ginny grinned up at Harry. "They are truly one of a kind." She added as she locked eyes with Harry.
"I don't understand why that is." Chuckled Harry as he sat himself next to his wife on the bed.
Ginny shrugged and held their newborn son out towards his Daddy.
"Wanna hold him, dear?" Ginny asked not taking her brown eyes away from Harry's.
Harry nodded and took their second child in his strong, muscular, arms and cradled him. He made sure his hand supported the baby's head. Infants didn't have enough neck muscles to hold their own head up. If a head or arm wasn't there supporting the head then the neck would simply break. Neither of the parents wanted that to happen to their new son.
A small giggling sound except the baby's mouth as he moved around uncontrollably. The boy didn't have control over his arms or legs yet. It didn't bother his parents though. It was just the way of life. As weird as that was.
Harry chuckled as the baby let some bubbles of saliva escape from his tiny mouth. Harry turned his head towards Ginny and grinned broadly.
"You did great, love." He complimented kissing Ginny's forehead.
A sweat taste entered his mouth from his kiss. He didn't complain. Ginny had a right to be sweaty after thirteen hours of labor. It just made the moment even more special. Harry didn't understand why, it just did.
"Thank you. But really, even if I didn't do anything, I think he'd still of came." Ginny laughed lightly.
She looked over at her new son and grinned before looking back up at Harry's face.
"Love, you may name him." She grinned. "I'm to tired to think of anything." She told him as she rested her head back onto her pillow. She took a deep breath as she watched the wheels turn inside Harry's mind. She knew it would be most likely a name from someone who died as they were helping Harry defeat Voldemolt. She honestly, didn't care. Those people deserved to be recognized.
Harry opened his mouth slowly and said his son's name for the first time.
"Albus Serverus."
Ginny's jaw dropped for moment. He was actually naming their son after Snape? Ginny would've liked different but she said he could chose.
"You sure?" She asked a bit shocked.
"Yeah. The whole time I thought Snape was trying to hurt me- kill me- but in reality he was trying to protect me and help me. Even though he hated my father he loved my mother and I was my mother's descendant so he wanted to help me. Then he died because Voldemolt needed the Elder Wand but really it wasn't his to start with. So he died for no reason. He deserves this." Harry explained to his wife.
Ginny grinned as he finished and nodded her head, "That does make it so he needs to be remembered." She smiled in agreement.
The sat in silence for a bit before Ginny said, "How about you give me Albus back and then let in the family. I'm sure they are dying to meet the newest member. James is probably dying to see us too." She stated.
Harry agreed and handed her little Albus Severus Potter back. He then got up and walked to the door of the room and opened it. As he opened it all the conversations ended outside of it. It became sort of like a silent movie. Harry grinned as he stepped into the room full of Weasleys.
"So?" Ron was the first to speak. Harry could always count on Ron to be the breaker of the silent.
"Boy." Harry grinned. "Albus Severus Potter." Harry stated.
An awkward tone scattered through the crowd of family. The adults were all trying to find a reasonable reason why they chose that name for the child. They tried to make it so harry couldn't tell what they were thinking, but he knew exactly what they were thinking. Everything fell an awkward silence until a one-year-old with black messy hair and chocolate eyes burst through the crowd and tackled Harry's legs.
"Daddwy!" He yelled merrily.
Harry grinned down at his oldest son and picked him up. "Hey James." Harry said kissing the boy's forehead.
"Were Mommy?" James asked cocking his head to the side.
"She's resting with you're new brother." Harry sad calmly.
"Me big bwothew now?" James exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes you are! Wanna meet your brother?" Harry asked.
James nodded and laid his head on Harry's buff chest. Harry gazed around the room at everyone else.
"I'll explain the name later. Ginny wants to see you guys right now." Harry laughed lightly shaking his head as the lot nodded and followed him into the room.
"Mommy!" James yelled in glee as he saw Ginny. He looked up at his father and said, "Down."
Harry and Ginny caught eachother's eyes and chuckled lightly at their oldest son. Harry did as James wanted and placed him on the ground. James immediately ran to Ginny's bedside and began trying to climb it. Only being one the kid had troubles.
As all this ciaos was unfolding, Molly and Arthur, Bill and Fleur, Charlie, Percy and Audrey, George and Angilina, Ron and Hermione, and all of James and Albus's cousins scattered into the cramped room and began to awe over the tiny Albus Severus in Ginny's arms.
Molly was the first to say something about her new grandchild, "Oh, Ginny, he is so precious!" She clasped her hand to her mouth as she spoke.
Hermione who was holding her first child, Rose, who was born only a month earlier grinned, "He looks so peaceful."
Ron looked at Albus then turned to his own wife and daughter and asked, "Hermione why can't you have me a son? Harry already has two."
Hermione raised her eyebrow.
"I'm not the one who decides the gender. You do." She snapped.
Being a new mother for only a month Hermione still had some hermone problems.
Ron laughed and grinned; "I'm just joking babe." He kissed the top of Hermione's head and took Rose from her arms. "I love Rosie." He assured Hermione.
Hermione gave him a weak smile and kissed him on the lips gently.
"Speaking of daughters, where's Victoire?" Bill asked looking around. Fleur shot him an if you lost her again I'm killing you look.
"Daddy, I'm right here." Five-year-old Victoire giggled.
"Oh okay, Princess." Bill grinned at his oldest daughter.
"Ofoo." James yelped as he hit the floor on his butt. He was still on the mission of climbing the bedside.
Harry chuckled and picked James up and placed him next to Ginny. Ginny greeted James with a small kiss on his head. James didn't really notice his mother's kiss. For the first time in his life he laid eyes on his younger brother. James poked the baby who was stirring in his Mother's arms. Being poked a bit to hard Albus let out a long cry. James back away from the baby with his eyes huge.
"James." Ginny said weakly. She bounced Albus lightly in her arms until he stopped crying. She then turned to James. "You have to be gentle with Albus. He is little and you can hurt him." She told him.
James nodded and looked at Albus again. James didn't like the noise he made. He cupped his hands to his ears and mumbled, "Mommy, Awl is too woud!"
Ginny let out another chuckle and kissed James again. "That will change with time."
"Gwood." James said.
Harry smiled and picked James up into his arms. James wrapped his tiny arms around his father's neck and laid his head on his Dad's shoulder. He yawned slowly and let his eyes close slightly. It was around his naptime. James finally fell into a sleep and Harry placed him next to Ginny again.
