For the next six or seven months, it had been a while since Teddy had seen Harry and Ginny. They owled him once a week with a picture to tell him where they were, whether it was a Muggle wonder or an extravagant Wizard castle. Teddy missed his godfather and Ginny very much over that time. When they arrived back to Droma's home, they brought wonderful news.
"We are finally getting married!" Ginny gushed, flushed and brilliant.
Droma grinned over her teacup. "Its April! One month early, Ginny!" Droma looked at Harry. "Just couldn't wait, you two, could ya?"
Harry beamed.
Teddy smiled. To him, it wasn't much of a change except for what jewelry they wore now, because he had grown his whole 5-and-three-quarters-(thankyouverymuch)-year-old life with Ginny in it.
Ginny looked down at her white blouse, making Droma think Ginny was already dreaming of wedding bells…though quite the contrary.
Harry urged his wife, "and what else…?"
Ginny blushed. "And I am pregnant."
Droma squealed. "Any more news I should know about, you two?!"
Harry shook his head and put his arm around his soon to be wife.
Droma sighed and shook her head happily. "How great. Now I have a god-daughter! And soon a god-grandchild! Do you know if it is a boy or girl…what are you gonna name it?" Teddy was grinning from Droma's lap. His eyes sparkled, a brother or sister!
Ginny looked at Harry and smiled somewhat coyly.
Harry cleared his throat and looked at his palms. "My—our—first son is going to be named James—"
"After your father, yes," Droma concurred.
"Our first daughter will be named Lily."
"After your mother. Oh, Harry and Ginny! I am so glad you both chose such names!"
"Any more sons, we have Albus…but I think that's as far as we got before we became distracted." Ginny chuckled.
Seven months later, Ginny went into labor. She birthed a healthy baby boy named James Remus Potter. 8 pounds 4 ounces.
Teddy walked and talked as quietly as possible when he knelt over the baby for the first time in Droma's living room. The baby was asleep, and noisy was NOT allowed in Droma's home with the baby! Teddy smiled at the squinty face. "Hi baby," Teddy breathed.
Ginny patted Teddy's back. "His name is James, honey."
"James?" He furrowed his eyebrows and then nodded with acceptance. "Does he like Quidditch?"
Harry laughed. "I hope so!"
James shoved a fist into his mouth and began sucking on it.
"What a weird baby!" Teddy giggled.
"Oh Teddy, no need to say that!" Droma scolded softly.
Teddy hung his head but watched the baby suckle at his knuckles. His brother looked so peaceful bundled up in light blue as he slumbered on the baby blanket.
