Author's Note: So, here is the next chapter! Since it was requested that the chapters be shorter, there is only like 2 more chapters after this I think. Sorry guys! Anyway, I probably won't update after this for like a week because I have band concerts and stuff ALL week long! I'm going to be one busy girl, so I won't have time to update. Sorry again! Enjoy the chapter, and as always, review, favorite or both!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I don't own characters, but I do own the plot of this story. That came straight from the old noggin.

Chapter 2: 9 months later

"Why are they always late?" Ginny complained as she climbed down the stairs with James in her arms. Harry walked towards the stairs and took James from Ginny and helped her finish down the stairs.

"Well, Ginny, maybe this is an indication. Maybe it means this baby is a boy!" Harry said. Ginny smiled.

"Speaking of gender, we need names." Ginny said. "I assume that Lily Luna is still our first choice for a girl?" Ginny added. Harry nodded. "So, for a boy?" Lily added.

"Arthur. . ." Harry began.

"No." Ginny said. "I don't like the name Arthur Potter." Harry nodded and went deep into thought. "What about Albus?" Ginny suggested. Harry thought about it for a second then smiled.

"I like it. Albus Potter." Harry said.

"But what about the middle name?" Ginny asked. Harry was once again in deep thought. He walked into the kitchen and opened the cabinet to find a bunch of potions books. He closed that cabinet and opened the other cabin. He found his old potions book in the cabinet with the cookbooks, so he picked it up to move it. When he did, the front cover flopped open and he saw "Property of the Half-Blood Prince" written on the inside. Harry turned to Ginny, who was currently playing on the floor with James.

"Severus." Harry said.

"Pardon?" Ginny asked.

"The middle name. Severus. Albus Severus." Harry said. "Two of the bravest headmasters that Hogwarts has ever had. They both played a key role in my life and Snape is a key piece of my mum's past." Ginny thought about it for a second, then Harry continued. "Plus, both of James' namesakes were Gryffindor's. Even though we are a Gryffindor family, it shows our kids that we don't care what house they are in." Harry explained. Ginny nodded.

"So, if it's a girl, Lily Luna. If it's a boy, Albus Severus." She said. Harry nodded and pulled out a cookbook to make dinner. Once he had started dinner, he enchanted it and joined Ginny and James on the floor.

"Daddy!" James shouted.

"Hey, Jamie!" Harry replied. James ran over to his father and Harry stood up holding James above his head. "It's the flying baby!" Harry said. Ginny laughed. Then, she pulled out her wand.

"Levicorpus." She whispered. Harry went to sit back down with James, but as he tried to lower James, he realized he couldn't. He stared at James in confusion. Then, he turned to Ginny and saw she had her wand out. Harry lips pursed.

"I thought it was accidental magic. You tricked me!" Harry said.

"Auntie Mione!" James shouted, cheerfully. James ran up to Hermione and hugged her legs. Ron bent down to James' level.

"What am I, chopped liver?" Ron said. James giggled and ran into Ron's arms.

"Uncle Ron!" Ron wrapped James in a hug and stood up with James in his arms.

"Where Rosie?" James asked Ron. Ron pointed to the three month old baby in Hermione's arms. The baby's name was Rose Weasley and she, like her father, had a layer of red hair on her head. Rose was dressed warmly in her very own Weasley onesie. It's a pink onesie and had a black letter 'R' on it. James peered over Hermione's arm and at the baby in her arms. Rose had blue eyes like her father, but her face and resembled Hermione. Ginny leaned into Harry and Harry put his arm over her shoulder.

"Remember when James was that tiny?" Ginny asked Harry. Harry nodded.

"May I hold her?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded and handed Rose to Harry. Rose stared at Harry with an uneasy look on her face then she eased up and giggled. "You look like your mummy when you laugh!" Harry said. James stared angrily at Harry. He told Ron to put him down and walked over and grabbed Harry's leg. He pulled on Harry's pant leg and Harry looked down. Ginny picked James up, but he stretched his arms out to Harry.

"I think James is jealous!" Ron said, taking Rose from Harry. Harry grabbed James and turned to Ginny.

"Hopefully this isn't a hint to the future." Harry said. Ginny shrugged. "Ok, I'm going to get James ready, and then we can go over to the burrow for dinner." Harry said. "If you need to change Rosie, you can use the changing table in the new nursery." Harry said. Ron nodded and carried Rose upstairs.

Harry, Ron, George, Charlie, Percy and Bill were all out on the lawn talking over some butterbeers when Hermione ran out and stood in front of Harry. "Harry," She began. "It's Ginny. She's having the baby." Then, Hermione ran back into the house. Harry dropped his butterbeer and ran after Hermione into the house, as did the rest of the Weasley brothers. Ginny was sitting on the couch and James was sitting in Mr. Weasley's lap crying loudly.

"Daddy!" James cried. "Mummy!" He added. Harry sat down next to Ginny and he apparated with her to the hospital. After they apparated, the rest of their family, including James and Rose, came in right next to them. Once Ginny was in her room, Harry took his usual spot next to her bed, but this time he had James sitting on his lap. James had finally stopped screaming when Harry held him, but now he was staring at Ginny. He could see the pain on her face and he wanted desperately to be in her arms. Harry had tried sitting James on the bed next to Ginny, but it didn't turn out to well. Like when James was born, Ron thought it would be a bright idea to take a walk through St. Mungo's.

"You know, Ron," Harry said. "I'm not a huge fan of these walks you take me on." Ron shrugged as the entered Ginny's room again. Now, James was the quietest he had been all day and Harry was very thankful. When the healer came in, she told everyone that Ginny needed to push soon. This meant that all the Weasley brothers, Rose and James stood out in the hallway outside the room. Once the Weasley brothers left, Harry heard a scream from the hallway and then he saw James banging against the window. Harry sighed and cast a silencing charm. The last thing Ginny needed right now was a screaming child. Then, 5 minutes later, there was a head.
