Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter but I do own this fic and I do own a couple of ragged copies that have been over read.
A/N: first I want to thank all of you guys who reviewed on my author's note and really cheered me during the hard times. I'm really relived to say that a ceasefire has come upon us in northern Israel, and let's just say that Pease is bliss. Anyway, still trying to get back to my day to day schedule with work and everything it took almost two week since the ceasefire has been declared to finish this chapter and finish working on a one-shot I began to write during the war. My plan was to upload the one-shot first and then finish this chapter but I felt that it wouldn't be fair for all of you who waited patiently and were really understanding about the situation and everything around it. So really this chapter is dedicated to all of you because I wrote for you and because of you.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Chapter Seven
Time for a Shower
Ginny stood in front of her mirror her belly all round and full and her hands caressing it as she looked at her reflection. Maybe it wasn't going to be so bad after all, she secretly hoped.
"What are you doing?" Jonathan asked as he entered her bedroom eating a sandwich.
"Nothing," she said and pulled out her pillow that was under her dress. "Just imagining what it would be like to be pregnant." She lied.
"Why don't you marry first and then about it." Jonathon laughed and took a bite from the sandwich. "Besides, I can't see you as a Mum."
"You don't?" Ginny asked and set down plopping the pillow back to it place.
"not really, I mean right now you're way in to the magazine and you really young and please don't take the wrong way but I know you have a couple of nieces and nephews and one of them is even staying here and you watch him whenever you get but being the cool aunt and being a Mum?" he said and rubbed her knee. "Sorry, Gin, I just have to say that I don't think you made up to become one."
"Well, you know…" Ginny said, feeling really hot all of a sudden. "I like kids but to have one of my own? It's rather silly if you think about it."
"You see?" Jonathan wrapped his arm around her. "Don't bother yourself about that now, Bunny. You should worry about what dress to wear." Ginny buried her head as stroked her hair.
"I have to do something." Ginny called and got up from the hug. "I still have a week off work, I can start now."
"Be my guest but please don't go into the living room for the next ten minutes."
"Why not?"
"Because Hermione's there."
"So? What if she's there?"
"She's not alone."
"WHAT?" and with that she scuttled to the apartment's living room. "Hermione Jane Granger-Weasley I am appalled!" she then stood rooted to the floor and her face turned red beet.
"Surprise!" at least twenty people called in unison.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Told you she'd freak out." George whispered to Hermione as Ginny began to hyperventilate. "Well?"
"Well what?"
"Bloody hell Hermione, don't just stand there! Help her!" and he pushed Hermione to Ginny's direction while the guests began to mingle and ignore Ginny's catatonic state.
"Ginny dear, why won't we get you a drink?" Hermione took the redhead's hand and led her to the buffet where the drinks waited to be drunk (and so were a few of the gussets.).
"Sure why not?" and she took one of the champagne glasses and then looked at it and put it back on the table. "On second thought, I'd rather stay sober tonight." She said and picked up a finger sandwich.
"Ginny Weasley giving up a drink?" Jonathan called in mock awe. "You're not pregnant are you?"
Ginny chocked on her finger sandwich and began to chough as bites of it flew on George's shirt. "Sorry." She coughed and picked a glass of cold pumpkin juice.
"Only you can chock on the mention of having children!" Hermione said and they all laughed, well all beside Ginny, of course, whose face turned the deepest shade of red.
"Have you tried these finger sandwiches? No? You should!" She force fed Hermione with three cucumber sandwiches.
"Is someone having cold feet?" Jonathan taunted.
"No," she said, "but someone's having sore feet." She stomped on his right foot. "Oh! I'm sorry Johnnie, did I hurt you foot?" she then asked sweetly.
"Not you," he said as he tried to rub his foot. "Just you're fat leg!" and he jumped his way to the sofa escorted by half amused half worried George. "How much did she gain since her return from the hospital?" she heard him say from the sofa.
"Oh dear!" shrieked Hermione and moved behind Ginny. "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!"
"It's not nice to make fun of the bride's weight at her bridle shower, y'know!" Ginny cried to the crouching Hermione. "I mean, alright, so I gained a little but treating me as if I'm a huge tree trunk you use to play hide and seek, really offends me."
"I'm not making fun of you, Ginny!" Hermione hissed.
"Then what the hell are you doing?" Ginny turned and looked down at her.
"She's hiding from me." a deep voice said from behind and both Ginny and Hermione jumped. "Hullo Gin, congrats," he lifted his drink and smiled. "'Mione-I mean, Hermione." He flushed at the mention of the former pet name mistake and just nodded at her. "I'm going to say hello to George and Jonathan."
"Ron!" Hermione called after him as he walked away. "Ronald!" she growled in frustration and fallowed him. "Ron, get back here!" they began to fight in less then three minutes.
"-can't just come here and ignore me!" Hermione roared at him.
"Don't pretend you care about it, Granger!" Ron answered impatiently.
"Granger? I'm still your wife!"
"My wife would never have a go at another man." He snapped.
"I wouldn't have if you paid me a little more attention and treated me better!"
"Treat you better? What are you a dog or something?"
"Are you calling me a bitch?"
"What if I am call-"
Just then Jonathan pushed in between the two. "Ah, the married life!" he called aloud and stopped the growing row. "And thank you, Ron and Hermione Weasley for the very realistic skit of how married life shouldn't look like!" confused murmurs and looks began to surface including Ron and Hermione's. "Take a bow and guys its okay to give them your applauses." And soon the rood was feeling with cheering and clapping sounds. "We're taking five and then George and I will give a taste of alternative married life." At this a few gussets choked on their drinks.
"I have had it with the two of you!" Ginny yelled at them inside the kitchen. "This is my day, you listen? My time to be the center of attention. I'm the one who's getting married! I'm the one who you, Hermione, worked so hard to have this shower for. Why can't you for one evening focus on your little sister and sister in-low/best friend and let her be!"
"I'll tell you why-"
"Because she can't get-"
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY!" Ginny exploded at the couple. "You know what? I don't want to see you at my party. You two are going to go inside on of rooms in here and if I see either one of you out of it until I'll call you out both of you will be banned for life from this place, and yes Hermione I will kick you out with a child!" she looked at them and they looked back. "YOU'RE STILL HERE?" the two ran out of the kitchen throwing assaults and snapping at each other as they made their way to the hallway.
"Thanks again for coming, Mrs. Fundeltone," Ginny said after three hours of the most exhausting wedding shower in the entire world. "No, really you can have the tuna casserole, I'm sure Leonard will love It." she grinned widely at the mention of her neighbor's lazy cat. "It was nice to see you, bye!" she closed the door behind her. "God my face is killing me from all the fake smiles!" she declared and collapsed on the sofa next to Jonathan.
"Remind not to throw you another wedding shower, ever again." He said tiredly.
"Well, you're lucky I plan to only marry once." She said and yawned loudly. "I don't remember being so tired after all of my sisters-in-low showers."
"I'm so tired!" he cried to the air and placed a pillow on his face. "Levitate me to bed, GinBug?"
"Can't you walk by yourself?"
"It's too far!" he whined under the pillow. "I threw you this party! The least you can do is levitating me to bed."
"Alright, alright!" she got up from the sofa. "You little twat." She mumbled and looked for her wand on the coffee table. "Levicorpus!" and with that Jonathan was hung from his heel in the air. She flicked her wand once again and began to walk towards his bedroom.
"Good night, Johnnie!" she whispered as she dropped him hard on the bed. "Oops!" almost on the bed.
As she walked pass Hermione's bedroom she heard a soft cry, curious she opened the door to find the room pitch black and Daniel's small crib in the corner. She slowly walked over to the crib and saw the little toddler crying and calling for his mother. "Here we go, Danny, auntie Ginny's here." She picked him up and began to rock him in her arms. "Aren't you a big boy?" she said to the two years old. "Where's your mummy, Danny?" the baby made a sound Ginny took as saying 'don't know.' She walked out of the bedroom with him in her arms and over to her own bedroom.
When she opened the door, her room was also pitch black, but unlike the former there were sounds of soft and shallow breathing and loud snores. Walking further into the room, Ginny and little Daniel in her arms we're gritted by a surprising sight.
"Looks like you're going to have another brother or sister, Danny boy." She whispered smiling a broad smile at the kid. She walked quietly out of the room closing the door behind her just as a naked Ron turned over to hug in his sleep a naked Hermione.
"Note to self: change sheets tomorrow morning." She muttered and walked with the little tot over to Hermione's bedroom.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A/N: what will happen know? Did Ron and Hermione work out their problems? Will Jonathan be able to walk to bed by himself? What will Ginny do now she's pregnant? Wait and see it all in the next chapter!
