Next to Harry the covers were pushed back, and the bed was cold, Ginny hadn't lain there in hours. Scanning the room, he pulled himself out of his bed and opened the curtains. He smiled down at the buildings and ground covered in snow, and at the Christmas lights that were still flashing from beneath the blanket of white snow, that would turn into sludge as the day wore on.
Harry checked the clock on the wall wondering if Ginny had spent the morning doing a last minute search for his stack of presents that he had hidden from her and everyone else, who had all tried and failed at attempting to discover what he had bought them. Hearing a sound coming from the bathroom he smiled to himself, he hadn't hidden them in there.
"Still haven't found them then?" Harry said smugly as he walked towards the bathroom and pushed open the bathroom door, revealing Ginny sitting in front of the toilet, her face wet with sweat and her head slumped over the side, she was wrought with tiredness.
"Ginny!" Harry exclaimed rushing forward, Ginny looked up at him, giving him a weak smile before he dropped to his knees in front of her. "Are you okay?" he asked, his worried eyes scanning her body.
"Just morning sickness again." Ginny answered, as she tried to fight back a yawn.
"Oh of course." Harry exclaimed, his eyes lowering to her stomach, looking at the bump, their baby was growing in side of her. "Well.." Harry started as he moved his arms to wrap her into a hug and kiss her, but she pushed him back with the palm of his hand. He gave her a questioning look, before she turned to face the toilet and threw up.
Leaning forward he gathered her hair up into his hand and stroked her back as she continued.
"I think I'm done." Ginny said weakly as she flushed the toilet and slowly rose from the ground. As she cleaned her teeth, Harry sat on the floor leaning against the wall in shock, in a few months he would be a father. He was overwhelming happy and excited but also overwhelming worried at the same time.
"It's still a pain not being able to drink, especially today and New Year's." Ginny said as she placed her toothbrush back besides Harry and he stood up to face her.
"Merry Christmas." Harry said, pulling her into the hug he wanted to give her minutes ago, then kissed her deeply before looking down at his watch, they were running late.
"This is our last Christmas alone." Ginny said a smile etched onto her face as she imagined a baby giggling, chuckling and smiling at the Christmas lights. Not just any baby, their baby.
