Chapter 1:
"I really wish that this baby would come out already!" Ginny whined. Harry frowned. Ginny was due over a week ago and even though she tried not to complain, she was getting very irritated. Harry spent everyday at home with Ginny now because she was due any second. Ron had agreed to take over all of Harry's cases temporarily until the baby was born. "Ginny, the remedy is almost ready. I'm going to go to Gringotts quickly and when I get back, it should be ready." Harry said. Ginny nodded and said good-bye to Harry before he apparated to Diagon Alley. Ginny waddled into the kitchen and stared at the caldron Harry had on the counter. Inside was a magic remedy that is used to induce labor. The minute Harry told Ginny about it, she wanted him to make it. Ginny absent mindedly rubbed her belly. "I can't wait to meet you, baby Potter." She whispered to her belly.
Harry arrived home from Gringotts about 30 minutes later with a pouch full of Galleons, Sickles and Knuts. He walked into the kitchen and put a scoop of the remedy into a bowl for Ginny. He set it on the table and walked upstairs in search of Ginny. He walked into their bedroom and found Ginny asleep on the bed. Harry smiled wide. Ginny hadn't slept well in the last week. Harry tiptoed down the stairs and put the potion back in the cauldron. Out of fear of waking Ginny up, he just sat at the table and read the Daily Prophet and the Muggle Newspaper. After an hour, Harry heard movement upstairs and made his way upstairs quickly to check on Ginny. She was currently leaning over the toilet bowl, puking her guts out. "Hey, Ginny. Are you ok?" Harry asked. It seemed like a foolish question to ask, but he had no clue what else to say. Ginny ignored this comment and Harry was thankful for it. When she finished, Harry said, "If you think you can keep it down, the potion is all ready." "Okay, thank you Harry. I'll be down in a second." Harry nodded and shuffled down the stairs to scoop out some potion for Ginny. After putting the bowl on the table, he noticed Ginny waddling down the hall. She saw the bowl and sped up. She ate 3 spoonfuls and then ran to the bathroom. She started puking again and yelled for Harry. Harry ran down the hall to the bathroom. "What's wrong, Ginny?" Harry asked. He knelt down next to Ginny and rubbed her back as she continued to vomit. After Ginny stopped throwing up, Harry led her over to the bed and gave her some pillows to lean on. Then, he went and got her a drink that Muggles use to calm an upset stomach: A ginger ale. "Here, Ginny," He said. "This will help settle your stomach." Ginny smiled at Harry and took the glass from his hand. She took a sip and looked at Harry in disgust. "What is this?" She asked. "It's a Muggle drink called Ginger Ale. I remember the Dursley's used to give it to Dudley when he had an upset stomach." He explained. "I know, it's not very good, but it will help." Ginny nodded and continued to drink the soda slowly.
Harry stayed at Ginny's side the rest of the day. Then, at 8:00 pm, he went into the baby's nursery. They painted it green and it had a black crib on the far wall. In fact, all the furniture is black. Next to the crib is a toy chest that says _ Potter on it. (Once the baby is born, the first name will be filled in.) Inside the chest were multiple stuffed toys and blankets. Among the stuffed toys were a stuffed dog, a stuffed wolf and a stuffed stag. Mrs. Weasley had seen these and given them to Harry and Ginny as a shower gift. Harry loved it and Ginny thought it was a great idea. It was a good way to connect the baby to James, Sirius and Remus. Harry was sitting in the rocking chair staring at those three toys when he heard Ginny scream out in pain.
