July 9, 2004
Out of all the times Harry was sent on an auror trip- it just had to be this week. This bloody week; the week that marked the beginning of Ginny's second trimester.
It also marked the day when Ginny's jean shorts stopped buttoning.
"What the-" The redhead spluttered , trying to pull the fabric together while examining herself in the mirror. She didn't look any fatter; no baby bump yet. But there was no denying it- she was thicker.
Sighing in defeat, Ginny abandoned the denim for a pair of soffe shorts, pulled a black tank top over her head, and headed out for her appointment.
"Good morning, Ginny! " Draco Malfoy seemed too enthusiastic for 9am. Scratch that, he was too enthusiastic for Draco Malfoy. "Might I ask where Harry is?"
"He's away with work." The Young adult replied, evidently wishing her husband was here.
"Okay, well first thing we do today is talk." Malfoy sat in the chair that would have been occupied by Harry and faced the woman on the exam table. "How are you feeling?"
"Loads better, actually."Ginny responded with a grin. "I've been throwing up it seems all the time up until about a week ago."
Malfoy nodded, now writing something down on his clipboard. "Any cravings or anything weird?"
"No…" was said after a moment of thinking.
"Okay, good! Now we have to take your weight." Malfoy jumped out of his chair.
"Excuse me?"
"Mrs. Potter, this is so we can make sure that the baby is the right size and that you're still healthy and don't gain too much weight during the pregnancy. It's standard procedure with muggles, too."
Ginny huffed in annoyance and made a move to stand up.
"Oh, no need to get up! I can do it with my wand." He pointed his wand at the woman before returning to his clipboard, "122 pounds…"
"I gained 2 pounds!?" Ginny exclaimed in surprise. How did she gain weight when she was constantly upchucking?
"So would you like to see the baby?"
Ginny stared at the blonde man, "O-of course!"
Malfoy smirked and performed the same spell he did last time, only this time a projected screen appeared along with a beating, "This is my favorite part of the job."
There, in the screen, was a little gray baby connected to a cord. Of course, it didn't look like a newborn, but…. It was her baby. Inside of her. The redhead couldn't help but feel a burning sensation at the back of her eyes while her mouth stretched into a smile.
"The baby can open and close their fingers now." Malfoy informed his patient softly.
Ginny stared at her hand now, opening and closing it. It's amazing how such a small action can seem so big, so significant when being able to do it for the first time.
The screen and heartbeat disappeared as Draco handed her a photograph.
"So Harry can see it too." Ginny looked down at the photo and saw that it was of the baby.
"Thank you." She said genuinely. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, the Potter returned home.
!
"Ginny!" Heavy footsteps sounded in the upstairs hallway as Harry's figure appeared at the top of the stairs. His face fell. "I missed the appointment then?"
The young woman nodded as Harry made his way down the stairs. "Look at this." She handed him the photo.
Harry examined the picture. "Is that…?"
"Yeah." Ginny laughed with a watery smile. When Harry looked back up at his wife his eyes were also tearing, although he was not smiling.
"Gin… I have some bad news…."
They were in the living room; Ginny on the sofa with her knees pulled into her chest, Harry pacing in front of her.
"What do you mean your trip wasn't with the auror department?" Ginny questioned her husband, anger evident in her voice.
"Well, it technically was- it was just top secret and no one but Setter knew about it."
A look of confusion crossed the redhead's face. "Isn't it for the department if your boss sent you out?"
Harry stood in front of his wife. "Setter didn't send me. They sought me. They- They may need help. It's not even technically the Auror Department of the American Magic Association, it's a branch off of that. This project is top secret. You can't tell anybody, Gin. Not your family, not even Ron and Hermione. You can't."
Ginny felt a trickle a fear go through her chest. Harry hadn't spoken like that since the day he defeated Voldemort.
"Wh-Why not tell Ron and Hermione?"
Harry gave his wife a grave look. "If they know about it, there is a chance they'll be targeted. And I wouldn't be here to help them."
"So why tell me?"
"Well, you might think it's a little strange and get angry at me if I randomly disappear without a trace."
"But so will they!"
"That's why Setter knows. He'll plant a fake story that I'm on a mission." The raven-haired man now joined the 22 year old on the couch, "You're my wife, Ginny. I promised you in my vows that I would always be truthful to you. This is the truth. And… I was kind of hoping you might like to come to America with me?"
Ginny looked into his green eyes with utter shock. Just twenty minutes ago she was smiling and looking at her future child and now…
"When do you leave?"
"I… I don't know."
"How long would you be staying?"
"I don't know." Harry took a deep breath. "It all depends on him. When he attacks, what he does… They could call me any time from tomorrow to years from now. As of right now I'm unsure of how they plan to defeat him and how long it'll take. It could be two weeks. It could be two months-"
"It could be years." Ginny stated, feeling a tear roll down her cheek. "Who is he?"
Harry took his glasses off and rubbed his eyes. "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that." His voice sounded as though he was about to cry.
"Harry…" Ginny wrapped her arms around him, each person leaning their forehead on the other's shoulder. In a soft whisper, Ginny said four words that Harry will forever appreciate:
"I'll come with you"
Harry Potter's life is never calm :) Please review!
