A/N: Alrighty, I know some of you are like, "What the hell? What about What A Day?" I know, I know, I'm working on it. Anyways, this is something completely different from my other story What A Day, so if you like that one, you might not like this. It's not fluffy, it's not happy, and it made me cry while writing it. Just so you're warned. It's sort of AU, Ginny and Harry, and Ron and Hermione are together, and James is 5, Albus and Rose are 4, and Lily and Hugo are 2. Anyways, enjoy!

There had been a breakout at Azkaban prison early that day, and Ron and Harry had had to go with two other Aurors and find him before he hurt anybody. It was now almost midnight, and Ginny and Hermione were sitting up waiting for them. Ginny had invited Hermione and the kids over for dinner, and the kids had fallen asleep in James' room sometime around 9:00, so they just let them sleep. Hermione had left a note on the front door for Ron, and they were now waiting anxiously for them to come home.

"Do you think they're alright?" Ginny asked, after about an hour of silence.

"Of course they are. It was just one man, and they went with those two Aurors. I'm sure its just taking a little longer because…" Hermione trailed off, not able to think of a reason why it was talking them so long.

Just then, they both heard a loud pop outside. They both looked at each other, and ran to open the door.

"Ron!" Hermione screamed and jumped into his arms. Ron nuzzled his face in her neck and kissed her, while Hermione kept mumbling how stupid he was and how he would never be allowed out of the house again. Ginny was still standing in the door way, looking way out in the darkness for any signs of Harry.

"Ron, where's Harry? Wasn't he with you?" Ginny asked.

Ron stepped back from Hermione and looked at his baby sister with sadness etched on his face. Ginny knew what Ron was about to tell her, but she refused to believe it. She had had nightmares about this since before she even realized she liked Harry.

"Gin, Harry-"

"No! Don't say it Ron! Just don't," She said through her tears.

Ron walked over and wrapped his arms around her. Her whole body was shaking, and Ron feared that her legs would not soon hold her up, so he walked her over to the couch and sat down, till holding her tightly, whispering things to her about how it would all be alright, even though he didn't really believe it himself.

Her crying must have carried through the house, because James walked in and stopped in the doorway. "Mummy, why are you crying? Where's daddy?"

"James sweetie, its way past your bedtime, you should be asleep." Hermione walked over to him, tears running down her cheeks, and tried to pick him up, but he jerked away.

"Where's my daddy Uncle Ron? He went with you."

"James, c'mon, let's go to bed-"

"No! I want my daddy! Where's daddy!" James started screaming. He ran over to where Ginny and Ron were sitting on the couch, and Ginny took him in her arms. They were both crying. No one knew what to do. Hermione said she was going to go check on the rest of the kids, and ran off barely holding back her sobs. Ron stood up, leaving Ginny and her son, who looked so much like Harry, crying on the couch. Ron ran outside and started kicking and punching everything he could get his hands and feet on. He cursed out loud, screamed, and finally succumbed to the tears that had been threatening to fall for hours now.

A/N: One more chapter to go, I think. It's not gonna be anything super long, and this and the next chapter are all I have in my head for right now.
