Chapter 4:
"Welcome home, Lily!" Ginny cooed. Lily looked up at Ginny and smiled.
"Here," Harry said, grabbing Lily's baby carrier. "I'll take her and you can look everywhere for our party." He knew they would be somewhere weird. After all, when Albus was born, they had a party set up in Ginny and Harry's bedroom. It was George's idea of course. Ginny nodded and went into the house with Albus and James.
After ensuring Harry that the house was safe, Harry brought Lily in and took her to her room. It was big and later they would charm it to be pink. For now, it was just white, but magic could change that. The room had a bassinet in the corner, but Lily wouldn't sleep there for a long time. For now, she would sleep in the one in Harry and Ginny's room.
"Daddy," James said. "Can I play with Lily?" Harry laughed.
"No, Jamie, I'm afraid Lily is just a little too young for playing. Just wait, in a year, she'll be good to go." Harry said. James nodded and ran to find Albus. He almost mulled Ginny down in the process too.
"Wow, slow down speed racer!" Ginny said. "So, how's my little princess?" Ginny cooed.
"She's just heavenly." Harry said, smiling.
Ginny motioned for Harry to hand Lily to her and he did so. Ginny sat down in the rocking chair in the corner and stared down at her daughter. Lily had Ginny's brown eyes and a small hint of red hair on her head. Ginny had secretly hoped for a child that had a little less resemblance to her and Harry. She always loved how Bill and Fleur's daughters had long, beach blonde hair. Ginny always thought that it would be nice for her daughter to look like that, but now that she looked down at her daughter, who was gurgling and staring at her mother, she knew that no child could ever be more beautiful than her daughter and her two sons. Ginny kissed Lily's forehead and looked up to see that Harry was no longer there. She sighed and looked back to Lily. Lily looked up at Ginny and gurgled some more. Ginny laughed and started to sway Lily back and forth.
"Hey Ginny," Harry said. Ginny looked up and saw Harry. She smiled. "Why don't you come downstairs? The boys have a surprise." Ginny smiled and nodded. She stood up carefully, trying not to jostle Lily too much. Harry reached out to take Lily and Ginny reluctantly handed her over. When she got downstairs, her jaw dropped. Albus and James were covered in icing and smiling proudly behind a cake. Well, it was more like half a cake. They had taken the cake that had been on the counter for days and Harry wrote, "Welcome home Lily!" The boys decorated and put candles in. Ginny smiled and walked over to hug her boys.
"Thank you so much boys! Oh, I love it!" Ginny gushed. Both boys smiled and Albus reached down to grab a chunk and shove it in Ginny's face. James laughed and did the same. Ginny smiled and grabbed Albus on the waist, blowing raspberries on his belly. James giggled and jumped at Ginny. Harry stood in the corner smiling and murmuring to Lily.
"Welcome to our crazy family, Lily." Harry said. Lily stared at her mother and brothers in amazement. Meanwhile, James whispered something into Ginny's ear. Ginny thought for a second and nodded. James went to the ake and took a little bit of icing and ran over. Harry knelt down and James put the icing on Lily's forehead. Harry laughed and walked over to the cake.
"I'm going to eat the cake!" Harry said. He put Lily in her baby carrier on the counter and went to get cake. However, when he did, his face was met with the remainder of the cake. Harry smiled devilishly and rubbed his face on Albus' hair.
"Bad daddy! It's on!" Albus screamed. Harry smiled as he ducked a cupcake.
"No more, Harry!" Ginny said, yawning. "I can't take anymore kids!" She said. Harry smiled.
"I agree. Three is plenty for me." Harry said, as he pulled cake out of his hair.
"You know, I liked this party a lot more than any of the others!" Ginny said. Harry nodded in agreement. After both finished pulling cake out of their hair, they put Lily to bed and got into bed. Right when they both finally started to fall asleep, Lily let out a huge wail.
"So it begins!" Harry said.
