A/N: I am so, so sorry this took so long to get out, real life decided to cause major disturbances and I've only just been able to get things back to normal. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

'What? So I'm a whale? Is that it?'
The screech reached Harry and Ginnys ears before they even crossed the threshold. They paused for a moment outside the open back door, exchanging an amused glance as they recognised Rons voice trying to stutter a reply.
'You're not a whale! I didn't say that! I just said you looked good pregnant!'
'You said I had more meat on me! You think I'm too skinny normally don't you?'
Hermione sounded nearly hysterical, and they didn't need to see Rons face to guess he was at a loss and probably a little hysterical himself.
Ginny handed James to Harry and cautiously stepped inside.
'No! No you're not too skinny! And you're not fat either! You're perfect! Perfect, Hermione!'
'Don't lie to me, Ron! I know I'm a hideous whale!'
At this point it sounded as though Hermione had broken down into tears. Ginny disappeared around the corner, Harry caught the sounds of her apologising for interrupting, Ron stuttering incoherently in relief and Hermione sniffling as Ginny led her away to freshen up.
Harry couldn't help himself but burst into laughter as Ron came into the kitchen looking utterly bewildered and not dissimilar to the time Hermione set a flock of canaries on him.
'It's NOT funny.' Ron sat at the kitchen table, pale and shaken.
Harry managed to stop laughing long enough to sit down opposite him and shift a bewildered James onto his knee.
'Man, you told me Ginny was bad, but… man I never realised they could turn y'know… evil!'
Harry wiped a tear away as he reigned in his laughter and gave Ron a sympathetic look.
'I warned you, mate. I was afraid it might be worse this time, what with them both having one at the same time, but thankfully Ginny seems more sane this time around.'
'Oh really?'
Both males visibly winced. Harry looked up, giving a sheepish smile to Ginny who was stood in the doorway with a none-too-happy looking Hermione behind her.
There was a moment where no one spoke, Harry waiting to get yelled at, Ron looking like a rabbit in headlights.
But instead of blowing up and much to the males relief Ginny simply sighed, marched over to relieve Harry of James and informed them She and Hermione were going to have a nice relaxing stroll around the garden, whilst the boys cooked dinner.
Harry and Ron, pleasantly surprised not to have been berated agreed wholeheartedly that that was an excellent idea. Ron was also pleased to find that Hermione didn't ignore him or hit him when he planted a kiss on her cheek in apology for earlier.
As Harry and Ron started looking for what to make for dinner, they exchanged a glance. 'How long do you reckon it'll be before it's safe to say something without getting our heads bitten off?' Ron whispered conspiratorially.
Harry laughed. 'In my experience? Not until after the birth.'
Ron let out an exasperated sigh. The sound of James giggling floated in from the back garden.
Harry smiled gently. 'But it's worth it.' He added.

A/N: As always thanks so much for taking the time to read this, and thanks even more for taking the time to review. More chapters on the way and don't worry to the people who made suggestions, your suggestions are going to get written it's just a case of which order to do them in. Shouldn't be such a gap until the next chapter, again, sorry for the delay and I hope you all enjoyed! Personally not my strongest Chapter I think, but I blame real life. P
