"Harry you may want to sit down," Ginny said softly. She was truly afraid of telling Harry what the healer told her. Never in their ten years of marriage had they talked about the possibility but there were more important matters that needed to be attended to before that subject. Harry sat down on the swing and wrapped his arm around his wife. Ginny smiled, she loved moments like this with Harry when it was indeed the two of them, "Harry you know I love you right?" Harry nodded and kissed her forehead, "When I went to the St. Mongo's well…" Ginny paused and looked into Harry's green eyes, "We're going to have a baby."
Ginny stared into Harry's eyes waiting for an answer. She waited and the longer she waited for a response, the more tears began to fall from her face. Harry still just stared at her, was falling out his trance when Ginny ran back in the house sobbing hysterically.
'I'm going to be a father.' This thought echoed through his head. 'Ginny's carrying my son or daughter.' The thought stopped echoing as he heard the kitchen door slam shut, "Ginny!" He ran to chase after her. Harry ran through the house, Ginny was nowhere to be found. She wasn't on the couch or in their bedroom. 'Way to go Potter. You just found out your going to be a father, and now you've lost Ginny and the baby.'
Ginny fell out of her eldest brothers fireplace crying. Bill had hurried over to see what the commotion was that disturbed his quite life style. "Gin, what's wrong?" Bill asked as he helped her out of the fireplace and held her close. He led her over to the blue green sofa and had her sit.
"I'm pregnant," Ginny said through sobs.
"That's great Gin… But why are you sad? A baby is a wonderful thing to happen for you and Harry."
"I don't think he wants it." Ginny said.
"And what makes you think that?" Bill asked.
"He didn't respond. He just stared at me when I told him." Ginny started crying again. Bill summoned some tea and made it the way Ginny liked it.
"How do you always remember?" Ginny asked softly.
"Well as I do recall," Bill said, "I was there the first time you had tea."
Ginny smiled as she took a sip, allowing the warm drink calm her down. Bill looked at the living room window when he heard a pop noise. He saw Harry. Bill decided he wasn't going to hurt Harry just yet, he'd wait and see how Ginny is going to react and if she forgives him. Ginny glared as she knew the knocking on Bill's door was Harry. Bill got up to answer it.
"Bill have you seen…" Harry started and saw his wife on the couch. "Ginny" He ran over to her. Ginny put the tea cup on the coffee table and folded her arms stubbornly. "Please Ginny forgive me? I was scared for a minute. All I could think of was our family and then you carrying our child. A baby is just brilliant. Ginny I will always love you."
"Why didn't you tell me that while we were at home?" Ginny asked almost hatefully.
"Ginny I've never had a family, I'm scared I'm going to be a horrible father. What if the baby doesn't like me?" Harry asked.
Ginny smiled at Harry, unfolded her arms and held his hand, "Your going to make a wonderful father Harry. And why wouldn't the baby like you?" Harry shrugged and smiled knowing him and Ginny were at peace. Bill smiled knowing that the young couple was happy with each other again but he was worried about those death eaters that were still at large and why Harry hasn't mentioned them… yet…
Ginny looked at Bill and asked, "Bill will you keep this a secret at least until tomorrow?"
"Going to announce it at dinner?" Bill asked, since their mother had died in battle, the Weasley children would go and have dinner with their dad at least once a week. Ginny nodded. "Ok."
"Thank you Bill," Ginny said and hugged her brother, "Harry and better be going now seeing as we've got to start planning for three." She finished with a grin and placed a hand on her stomach. Harry nodded and grabbed Ginny's hand so she could side-a-long appearate back home.
