Chapter 4 Deal
Previously on Georgia Virginia, the girl who helped them all:
"I'm going to have someone else staying at my house tonight and I know she would feel best at my house." Lily wrung her hands together.
"Who?" Harry asked.
"Your Aunt Petunia."
"Aunt Petunia?" Harry asked bewildered.
"But why?" Ginny asked.
"Vernon and her had a fight." Lily explained.
"A fight. About what?" Hermione asked.
"Harry." Lily sighed. "When she came over here to see Georgia. He told her he doesn't want her anywhere around any of us. Especially Harry. So she got tired of it and she left him."
"Left him!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Oh the poor dear! She must be awfully confused and lost. Harry, Ginny maybe you should go over and talk with her to keep her mind off everything. Take Georgia and then when its time for her nap bring her over to my house and I'll watch her." Hermione suggested.
"Alright. Are you coming Harry?" Ginny stood up.
"Yes I guess I'd better." Harry stood also, followed by Hermione. They both sat their cups down on the coffee table. Ginny went to pick them up.
"Don't bother with them. I'll do it." Hermione stopped her. Ginny shrugged and went to take Georgia out of her swing. Lily, Harry, Ginny and Georgia left the room and headed towards the back door. When they left Hermione gathered up the mugs and took them to the sink. There she charmed them to wash themselves. When they were done she put them away and headed to her own house to find Ron.
The rest then entered Lily's house and followed Lily to her living room. There on the couch was a sniffling Petunia. Ginny's eyes softened even more when she saw her and immediately she crossed over to the couch.
"Aunt Petunia, look who came to see you." Ginny said referring to Georgia.
"How is the baby?" Petunia sniffed.
"Very well thank you." Ginny answered for Georgia.
"May I hold her?" Petunia asked.
"Of course." Ginny handed her daughter over to the older woman, whose face brightened immediately.
"Hello Georgia. It was awful nice of you to visit me today." Petunia cooed over the baby. Harry smiled and sat down in an armchair. Ginny and Lily silently went into the kitchen to make some tea. Lily and James' house was a little different then Harry and Ginny's. There was a kitchen on the left side of the house, next to it was a little foyer by the door and then on the other side of the foyer was the living room. Behind the kitchen was an added on dining room by the previous owners. The house was in a L shape. Upstairs were two bedrooms and a full bathroom. In the kitchen was a window type thing that faced the foyer and living room. You can open two wooden shutters and see into the foyer and when the living room doors are open, into the living room.
This was the case when Ginny and Lily were in the kitchen. Then window was open and they were looking straight into the living room, because they had left the doors open. Harry was relaxing in the armchair, half dozing off. Petunia was plying with Georgia and it looked as if she had nothing else to think about and not a care in the world.
"Georgia really has an effect on her." Lily said as she put the kettle on the stove.
:She does. I'm thinking of letting her skip her nap. Maybe take it a little later than usual. She seems to do a lot of good for her and I don't see any real harm in it."
"Why don't you and Harry go home and Petunia and I will watch Georgia." Lily suggested.
"Okay, thanks Lily." Ginny said and walked out of the kitchen to tell Harry to come on.
Harry and Ginny stopped first to tell Hermione that they wouldn't need her to watch Georgia. They decided that at around four Lily would bring Georgia home and Harry would put her down for her nap, and Hermione, Tonks and Ginny would go to Lily's for dinner. Like originally planned.
Then they stopped at Lupin's to tell Tonks that she would be staying at their house. Finally they went home. Harry levitated the crib up to their room while Ginny conjured up a cot and prepared the nursery for Tonks. When they were done they crashed onto the couch and enjoyed some alone time.
After awhile of comfortable silence Ginny spoke,
"When do you want to have another kid, Harry?" This caused Harry to sit up abruptly and Ginny had to shift to get comfortable.
"Are you serious Ginny? You really want to go through that again. Could you handle it? Another risk pregnancy like that?" Harry was very unsure of the whole idea of going through another pregnancy like the first one again. He didn't think it would be good for Ginny.
"Harry it was the best time of my life, but we have Georgia for it and I wouldn't trade that for anything." Ginny said.
"Well Gin, what if we wait a while. I mean Georgia is only a month old. We still need to adjust to parenting before we have another child. I haven't even gone back to Quidditch yet. I really think we should wait to get back into a normal routine, and let you recover from such a difficult pregnancy." Harry said sincerely. Ginny sort of agreed.
"I agree with you Harry. I didn't say I wanted to have another child right now. I was just sitting here wondering.
"Alright, so how about we wait until Georgia is at least six months old. Then by the time the baby's born, Georgia will be almost a year and a half." Harry suggested.
"Deal." Ginny said. Then she spit in her hand. Harry did the same and they shook their hands together.
"That's so gross." Ginny whined. She went into the bathroom and washed her hands. When she was done Harry did the same.
"Wasn't my idea." He said when they were sitting on the couch again.
"Well never again, okay." Ginny rested her head on Harry's shoulder.
"Okay." Harry wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
