Author's note: SNOW DAY!!! I am so excited. Also this is a fluff piece. I was feeling fluffy after playing in the snow. We made a Hindu Snowman complete with 6 arms and a dot on the forehead. Oh yeah. She was pretty cool, and I'm not even Hindi. :)
Please RRR (RELAX, READ, REVIEW)
Harry's heart almost melted as Teddy snuggled up against him, ready for his bottle. Harry was again on the couch, the warm leather feeling good against his back. Teddy's head was in the crook of his elbow, and he fit perfectly. Actually in this position Teddy actually made Harry's chest very warm so the melting of his heart was actually a very probably outcome.
The baby reached up toward the bottle, arching his back making a clicking noise with his tongue. Harry laughed at his godson, and brought the bottle closer to his mouth. He wasn't sure if he would do this right, but so far Teddy looked like this was a familiar exercise.
Teddy began to suck greedily on the bottle, one hand clutching at one of Harry's fingers. His eyelids fluttered as the warm milk spilled down his throat, casting long mottled shadows across his cheeks.
Harry marveled at how perfect Teddy was. Sure he was making funny little snorting sounds as he breathed around the bottle. Yes, he had a very strange choice of hair color. And sadly yes, he probably would be better off in the hands of his own parents, but the kid was just so adorable.
Harry had once seen a movie at the Dursley's about one mom having like six kids. It was truly a nightmare, and Harry remembered vowing that he would never, ever, get anyone pregnant.
And so far he had kept that vow- AND he had gotten a wonderful baby anyway.
Teddy got to the end of the bottle, and cuddled up against Harry's chest, rustling his fine turquoise hair.
Maybe the night wouldn't be too hard. He looked out the window as Teddy sank deeper into sleep. The sun was making its ways past the London skyline, casting shadows through his window that stretched sleepily across the floor.
He yawned and scooted further down the couch, propping his feet up on the coffee table. If he could just sleep for a little while, then he could go fix some dinner. The warmth of his latest joy lulled him to sleep as he cuddled his precious godson.
With a start Harry jerked awake noticing at once how cold his arms were. He looked down in alarm realizing that Teddy was nowhere to be found. He jumped up knowing that if he had actually dropped Teddy then that would be the end of his parenting career right there.
"Teddy!" He said not finding the infant anywhere.
"Shhh!" He heard a voice say from behind him.
He whirled around and caught sight of beautiful red hair flowing down and mixing with blue. Ginny grinned as she measured her boyfriends reaction. He first looked started, then happy, and then there was something else on his face. She didn't know what it was, but it made her stomach flutter. She blushed as he walked over to her and stroked his godson's head.
"If you're not careful, you'll wake him up." She said, but she was happy that they had already made a connection. Teddy was just so cute that she couldn't think of a life without him. She smiled up at Harry through her long lashes and he blushed.
"When did you get here?" He asked, leaning down for a kiss. She brushed his lips, trying not to jostle the sleeping baby.
"Just a few minutes ago. I couldn't wait to hold him- he's just too adorable." Harry proudly smiled down at Teddy, who's tiny face was at peace.
"You guys look good together. I mean you and a baby do." Harry realized what he had said and blushed furiously, "Uh, I mean- you know… he's really cute… and you are too, so you know… I meant it like"
Ginny was chuckling softly, "If you like it then you should-a put a ring on it." She winked at him, making him blush even more.
"It's okay to say that though, Mr. Potter. I'm planning on having children some day so it's a compliment."
He smiled at his girlfriend. She really was an awesome person. Just then Teddy woke with a start and realizing that he was in the arms of a stranger he began to wail.
"Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh." Ginny soothed him as she rocked her body back and forth. Harry stuck out a finger and Teddy's little fist clasped onto it. With a few hiccups the infant soon calmed down and stared up at Harry and Ginny who were both making the cooing noises at him.
Without another sound he turned and buried his nose into Ginny's chest, snuggling down for another nap.
"Well, that was easy." Ginny said, leaning up to kiss Harry's protesting mouth. How had it been that easy for her?! It wasn't fair!
"Anyway, my mom wants you and Teddy to stop by for dinner. If that's not too much of a problem?" Ginny asked, batting her eyelashes at him.
"What? You're mom's cooking being a problem? I don't think so." Harry chuckled and started to go get his shoes, "Oh! I have to make another bottle of formula for later. It'll take me a while- why don't you sit down with Teddy and I'll get ready?" She nodded and followed Harry to the kitchen, positioning herself in her regular chair, trying not to wake Teddy.
Harry prepared the bottle of formula (it really wasn't that hard. Okay yeah it was hard but with Ginny watching he was trying really hard too.) Every time he looked at her he blushed remembering his blunder. Hadn't he just been saying that he would never get anyone pregnant! The idea of Ginny pregnant with his child sent his mind reeling, but he guiltily felt really pleased at the same time.
He shook the thought out of his mind and focused on finishing the formula. It was a powder kind (obviously a muggle product) you pretty much just added the powder and some water and BAM! Nutrition for baby. It was pretty simple, and Harry finished it quickly hearing his stomach rumble. He was anxious to get some of Mrs. Weasley's AMAZING food into himself, so he hurriedly stuffed the bottle into the fridge, and sprinted upstairs to get Teddy's stuff.
Along with his diaper bag, Andromeda had one of those neat Muggle baby carriers. It was a really cool one. Green with paw prints on it. It really matched Teddy.
He grabbed bag and carrier and within the next few minutes Teddy, Harry, and Ginny were huddled by the fireplace- ready for food and friendship.
Author's Note: OOOOO I haven't updated this in so long, but we had a snow day today and after playing for a few hours I was cold and came in to write! Sorry to everyone who was waiting. I'm just busy and the other stories I'm writing are so cool I can't choose which one to focus on!
Oh the horrors of teenage geek life!
