So Beautiful

Harry looked down at Ginny lying in the bed. Her hair was pulled back in a rough ponytail. Stray strands were laying about here and there, most plastered to her face which had rivulets of sweat streaming down her cheeks.

She was also quite flushed, her cheeks a deep red where the rest of her face appeared quite white.

His eyes drifted further down, taking in the little bundle she was holding. He looked on in awe as his son, James Sirius, latched onto Ginny's breast and began to suckle.

Ginny was staring at James with a look of such pure love, it made Harry's breath hitch in his throat.

Hearing him, she lifted her tired eyes, meeting his, smiling in spite of the ordeal she had just been through.

Instinctively he reached out and tucked one of the strands of hair behind her ear. "You are so beautiful," he whispered huskily.

Though she knew she must look a fright, the sincerity and love she saw, let her know that right now in Harry's eyes, she was.
