Ginny woke up the next morning trying to figure out if the previous day had all just been a dream or if it was reality. She sat up in the bed and had to shield her eyes from the sunlight pouring through the small window to her left. She got out of the warm bed and winced as her bare feet touched the cold wood floor.
Hearing noise in the kitchen she headed out to the kitchen, convinced that it had all been a dream. Standing in the doorway to the kitchen Ginny watched as Harry moved around the kitchen making coffee and grabbing the Daily Prophet to read. He turned from the counter to head to the wooden table when he saw Ginny. Smiling Harry said, "Good morning."
"Good morning. You'd never believe the dream I had," Ginny said.
"Was it that you are pregnant?" Harry guessed.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" Ginny asked shocked.
"Because it wasn't a dream. You really are pregnant and we're going to be parents," Harry smiled.
"I can't believe this is really happening," Ginny smiled taking a seat across from Harry.
"Me either."
They sat there in silence for a few moments as Harry read the paper and Ginny thought. Then Ginny realized, "So, I guess we're going to have to tell my parents."
Looking up from the paper in front of him Harry replied, "Yeah we will."
"You know my mum is going to be so happy about this," Ginny remarked.
"Even though we're not married?" Harry wondered.
"I really don't think she'll care Harry. We've been dating for over five years now, it was bound to happen sometime," Ginny said.
"I guess we'll find out soon, won't we?"
"Yeah, we should probably stop by today," Ginny suggested.
"Sounds good," Harry agreed.
They both fell silent again as Ginny tried to figure out how to tell her parents the news. She was almost positive that they wouldn't be mad, but then again who knew. It was Harry, it wasn't like it was Malfoy's baby or anything. Don't even think that Ginny! You're supposed to forget about him!
She had been doing so good forgetting Malfoy with everything else going on. Anyway, there was no place in her life for him instead she needed to focus all of her energy on this baby. She knew her parents wouldn't be too terribly upset if they were at all, but she would soon find out for sure.
Later that day Ginny found herself standing at the front door to her childhood home, she reached out at knocked on the wooden door. Seconds later the door was pulled back to reveal her mum who looked surprised to see both Ginny and Harry. "Ginny! Harry! What are you doing here?"
"Am I not allowed to come visit my Mum without a reason?" Ginny joked.
"Of course you are, but I know you Ginny," Molly smiled.
"What does that mean?" Ginny laughed.
"You never come without a reason," Molly smiled.
"You know me too well," Ginny laughed.
"I know. So why don't the two of you come in and we can talk," Molly suggested stepping back to let them in.
The three of them filed into the kitchen and took seats around the picnic style table. Ginny looked around smiling, not much had changed since she left home. It was still cluttered and chaos, but and organized chaos. She really missed it. This had been the place where so many memories had taken place.
"What do you need?" Molly asked pulling Ginny from her reminiscing.
"Oh, umm…we have something to tell you," Ginny began.
"What would that be?" Molly asked.
"Is dad going to be home soon?" Ginny asked.
"He owled and said he'd be late tonight," Molly informed.
"Oh, okay. I guess I'll just tell you then," Ginny said.
"Tell me what?" Molly asked again.
"Well, we have news and I think it's good news," Ginny hesitated.
"Are you two getting finally married?" Molly asked excitedly.
"Sorry Mum that's not what we're here about," Ginny said.
"So are you two going to get married soon though?" Molly persisted.
"Mum!"
"Actually Mrs. Weasley I'm hoping we are," Harry interjected.
"What!" Ginny exclaimed.
"I want to marry you Ginny," Harry simply stated.
"Let's not talk about that right now, we have other news," Ginny avoided the topic; she didn't want to do this in front of her mum. It's not like she was going to say no or anything, but she wanted to do this later.
"Okay, sorry Gin. I got ahead of myself," Harry apologized.
"It's okay."
"So you are getting married!" Molly exclaimed.
"Mum, we'll talk about that later. I have bigger news now," Ginny said, ready to tell her mum about the baby.
"What is it?"
"Mum, I found out yesterday that I'm pregnant," Ginny informed.
Molly paused, she didn't know how to react. She wanted to be mad because her daughter wasn't married, but then again it sounded like Harry was going to propose soon and she really did want grandchildren. "Mum?" Ginny tired.
"That's great," Molly finally got out.
"It doesn't sound like you're too excited," Ginny pointed out.
"I'm just shocked. I wasn't expecting this, but of course I'm excited. You're giving me a grandchild," Molly smiled.
"So you're okay with the fact that we're not married yet or even engaged?" Ginny asked skeptically.
"Yes, actually I am Ginny. As long as you're happy I am too," Molly smiled.
"I am Mum," Ginny smiled. This had gone well. She was so excited for all of this and she knew she'd need her Mum on her side when the baby came.
"Take care of her Harry," Molly said.
"Trust me I will," Harry promised.
They then sat around for a little while talking about what would need to be done and how excited they were. Ginny had never been this happy, but soon she would be even happier.
Later that night Harry and Ginny were laying on the big comfy couch that sat in Harry's apartment, they were just sitting there in silence. Harry was running a hair through Ginny's fire red silky hair, staring at the angel laying there. The lights were all dimmed and the stars could be seen in the midnight blue sky through the glass sliding door at the back of the apartment.
Ginny was close to sleep when Harry whispered, "Ginny, I love you so much."
Smiling, Ginny replied, "I love you so much too." She was awake now and she had a question she'd been dying to ask since that afternoon at her parents. She finally got up the courage to ask, "Harry, what did you mean when you told my Mum you thought we were going to get married soon?"
Harry thought for a moment, never breaking their eye contact and then replied, "I meant that I want to marry you Ginny."
"I want to marry you too Harry," Ginny smiled, finally letting herself admit what she was feeling inside. She wanted to be with Harry for the rest of her life, well at least since she found out about the baby she did.
"Well in that case…" Harry started and then silently summoned something from the bedroom. A small black box came whizzing through the air and landed gracefully in Harry's palm.
Ginny gasped at the realization of what was in that little box. Harry slowly flipped the box open to reveal a diamond ring that sparkled in the dimmed lighting. "Ginny, will you marry me?" Harry simply asked.
Ginny didn't need to think, she simply answered, "Yes!"
Harry smiled and pulled the ring from the box and slid it onto Ginny's left hand ring finger. This moment was perfect; it wasn't overdone or too planned out. It was just flat out perfect.
"I didn't plan it this way Gin," Harry whispered.
"I know, but it is perfect. I wouldn't change it for the world," Ginny assured as she leaned in and captured Harry's lips.
