Chapter 10:
When Lily and Ginny got home, they found the house very quiet. Lily gave Ginny a hug and returned to her own house. When Ginny went upstairs, she found everyone asleep. She kissed the top of Eve's curly head before slipping into her own room. Harry was fast asleep by the time she got to bed. Ginny had changed into a green silk cami and matching briefs. She immediately fell into a deep sleep the second her head hit her pillow.
Harry woke up the next morning and found Ginny asleep next to him. She had a red mark on her back from where he had shoved her. He gently brushed his fingertips over the red circle. Ginny shifted slightly, but she remained asleep as far as Harry knew. Harry kissed her cheek and ran his fingers through her fiery red hair.
"Ginny," he murmured in her ear. "Ginny, I'm sorry I overreacted last night. I was completely out of line. Harry thought that his wife was sleeping, but in reality, she heard every word that he had said. Harry went to kiss her jawbone, but Ginny rolled over so his lips came crashing down on hers. Harry seems surprised at first, but they were son locked in a passionate kiss. Ginny rolled on top of Harry, and they both stopped, gasping for air. Ginny ran her fingers through Harry's hair and smiled down at him.
"Rose's coming over this afternoon," she said quietly. Harry began to look nervous. "Don't worry, she's really nice."
"It's not that. I just don't know what to say to her." Ginny chuckled.
"The famous Harry Potter who came face to face with Lord Voldemort six times is afraid to meet his twin sister?" Harry rolled over, pinning Ginny under him.
"You're mocking me, Mrs. Ginerva Weasley, and now you're in trouble," he said, struggling to keep a straight face. Ginny looked at him with her large brown eyes. Harry hung his head in defeat. "I should go and shower now," he said loosening his grip on Ginny. She pouted.
"Five more minutes?" she asked. She used a small voice, so she sounded like Noel begging to stay up later. Harry brushed his lips past Ginny's.
"Okay," he agreed. "Just five more minutes."
After five minutes, Harry got up and took a shower. Ginny got dressed and went to get Eve. Eve had pulled herself into a standing position and started bouncing up and down when she saw Ginny enter her room.
"Hi cutie," Ginny cooed as she picked Eve up. "How long have you been up?" she put Eve down who immediately began to crawl around. "And where do you think you're going, young lady?" She swept Eve up over her head and set her down on the changing table. Eve grabbed her small, bare feet and began to rock back and forth. "I don't know what's with you today," Ginny sad a she tapped the top of Eve's head with her wand. "You're bursting with energy." Eve was now wearing a plain light blue dress. Ginny picked her up. "Come on, let's go get breakfast." She carried Eve down to the kitchen.
Gabrielle was already downstairs by the time Ginny and Eve got there. She was pouring over her book.
"Good morning," Ginny sighed as she strapped Eve into her highchair. "Sleep well?" Gabrielle got up and handed Ginny a cup of hot coffee and nodded.
"I'm surprised that you didn't make Harry sleep on the couch last night." As soon as Gabrielle said that, she realized what she had said.
"How did you know that we were fighting?" Gabrielle looked at her cup.
"I heard Lily and James talking. I didn't mean to pry or anything."
Don't worry about it. I was really worried that the twins had heard us fighting, but Lily put a silencing charm up." Ginny waved her wand and ingredients flew all around the kitchen.
Harry came downstairs and gave Ginny a kiss on the cheek before pouring himself a cup of coffee.
"Morning," he said to Gabrielle as he took a seat at the table. "What time do you think Bill and your sister will be back?"
"Around mid-morning," replied Gabrielle. The soft patter of feet indicated that Andre and Noel were awake. noel scrambled onto Gabrielle's lap while Andre climbed onto Ginny's.
"Did you guys sleep well?" Ginny asked Andre who nodded excitedly.
"We're hungry!" Noel announced. Ginny got up to make breakfast. It was then that she realized that she had no clue what to make for dinner that evening.
Around three twenty, Harry wandered into the kitchen. Ginny was busy overseeing the preparations for dinner.
"Why don't you take a break?" Harry suggested. Startled, Ginny jumped. "You've been working nonstop all afternoon." Harry sat at the table and gently pulled Ginny onto his lap. Ginny rested her head on his chest. She could hear his heart pounding in his chest.
"Don't be nervous," she assured. "Rose's a really nice woman."
"Says you. You weren't lied to by your parents!" Harry pointed out hotly. Ginny ran her fingers through his wild hair.
"I know, honey, I know. You have every right to be mad at your parents but don't take it out on Rose…or anyone else for that matter." Harry leaned into Ginny's loving touch. A knock on the door caught their attention. They looked at each other; it was now or never.
