Epilogue
A/N: I was going to wait until I got more reviews, but I'm going on vacation tomorrow and I'm not bringing my computer. Hope you enjoyed the first two chapters and keep reviewing!
3 years after the proposal
Harry couldn't believe he was holding his own baby. His own flesh and blood. And he couldn't believe how much Ginny and him loved this little being who had only been alive for minutes. James Sirius Potter. His own child. Just a few hours ago he and Ginny were walking along a Muggle beach in Manchester, holding hands.
"So, when this little guy chooses to come and meet us, what do you think we should name him?" Ginny asked.
"I thought we were going to wait with names until he was born." Harry responded.
"I know, but I just want to see him so much, so talking about it helps." She said, and smiled. "You know, this could be one of the last days we don't have kids. Just us." She kissed him, which was hard considering her belly had gotten so big.
They kissed for awhile, until Harry realized that it was a public beach.
"So, about names." Harry interrupted.
"Right, names." Ginny said.
"Do you want to name him something original or after someone we know or knew?"
"I don't know, maybe if the person we know had a good name and was a good person." She said.
"Ok, what about David?" Harry asked.
"No, I don't like that." Ginny responded.
"Ok, um, James." Harry said.
"Maybe. I don't know Harry? Do you really want to name our son after your dead father? I feel like that does have its upsides, but also might just cause too much pain." Ginny said.
"Ok, you know honey, I think we should just drop it until he's born." Harry said.
"Ok." Ginny said, and kissed him again. They continued to walk until Ginny suddenly stopped. "Harry! I think my water broke! I'm going into labor! Get your ass to the car and take us to St. Mungo's!" She yelled and tightened her grip on his hand.
"Honey, we are too far from St. Mungo's. We need to go to the nearest hospital. The one I stayed in 4 years ago when I was hurt. The car's right there, let's go!" He yelled, trying to stay calm.
"Obviously he really listened to me!" Ginny said in pain. "Baby, it's really nice that you are following directions and coming out of me, but can you make it hurt less! We love you!" Ginny said to her stomach.
They rushed into the hospital.
"My wife's going into labor!" Harry yelled. The receptionist looked at them.
"Ok, one second we'll get you a wheelchair. Do you belong to this hospital?" she asked.
"No, we don't. We took a weekend trip up here." Harry responded. The wheelchair came.
"Ok ma'am can you please get in the chair. We'll make sure everything is fine." A man said to Ginny. Ginny sat down in the wheelchair and was wheeled off to a room.
A few hours later, after a lot of pain and squeezing of Harry's hand, the baby was born. Harry owled all of their family telling them Ginny had the baby, and that they could come to the hospital then. Harry walked into the room to hear Ginny talking to the baby.
"James, this is your daddy. He is an auror, and he saved the world. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with him." Ginny said to James.
"James?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, when I saw him, I knew he was a James. This way Harry you'll always have a James Potter in your life. Is that ok?" she asked.
"Yeah, that's fine. Since I picked his first name, how about you pick his middle name." Harry said, and then picked up his baby.
"Ok. James what do you think about James Albus Potter?" Ginny asked. James started to cry. Harry handed him back to his mother who started to comfort him. "No, you don't like that. What about James Sirius Potter?" she asked. He made a gurgling noise and opened his arms up across his body. "I think James decided it Harry." Ginny said. "James Sirius Potter." she said.
A woman walked into the room. She was wearing a blue sweater. "So what should I put down as his name?" she asked.
"James Sirius Potter." Harry said. Ginny smiled and looked up at the woman.
She recognized her.
"Ok. Excuse me, but about 5 years ago did you come up to my desk and start yelling at me because you wanted to see this man?" She asked. Ginny smiled.
"Yeah, I did." She said. The woman smiled.
"Well it's nice you made the distance. Now if he ever gets hurt and ends up here, you'll be allowed in." she said. Both the parents smiled and looked at each other. They were both thinking, 'so many things have happened in hospitals. The proposal, and the birth of the most wondering person in their lives. The hospital rule had bothered both of them at one point, but now, four years later they end up in the same hospital as the first time. Married, and with their baby. They'd gone full circle, and had loved every fraction of it.
