Chapter 10 –
Lindsey awoke to see Merisol and Allegra already awake. Little Jessica was sitting at the end of the bed wearing her pink PJs and she was playing with her rag doll who was wearing the dress that Harry asked Mrs. Weasley to make for Jessica's doll. Lindsey sat up in her bed and her brown curls fell over her shoulders.
"Morning Sis." Allegra said happily as she walked went and opened the bedroom door where two little children walked in. A boy with short brown hair and a girl with straight stringy brown hair. Lindsey smiled at her niece and nephew.
"Hi Trent and Taylor." Lindsey said as she smiled at the children.
"Nate dropped off Taylor this morning." Allegra said as she sat the kids on her bed. "He and his fiancé are spending the weekend in Australia." She said with a strong sneer.
Lindsey inhaled the air and closed her eyes for a moment. "Mmm I already smell breakfast." She said as she opened her eyes and slid out of bed. She strode over to her trunk where she had clothes already prepared for herself and for Jessica. She picked up the clothes in one hand and used the other to pick up Jessica. She had Jessica dress first and then she dressed.
Once finished she looked unto the mirror as she prepared to put on her make up. She smiled at her reflection and ran her hand over her soft cheek. When Jesse had died she noticed herself looking run down and ageing quickly. She wasn't up to getting dressed up to go anywhere and she paid no attention to how she looked because Jesse was the only man that she would love and ever truly loved until she met Harry. Just in these past 4 months she stopped looking like she was 35 and began to look her true age of 22. She smiled at herself as she looked at how youthful she had begun to look. Her completion was back to its normal glow of happiness and peace and her eyes glowed with the joy of love once more.
"Linds are you coming to breakfast!" yelled Merisol from the bedroom. Lindsey quickly, but carefully placed on her make-up and left the bathroom. She and her sisters departed from the room together and walked down to the dining hall where Harry was already sitting with her parents eating.
"Up early?" questioned Lindsey as she sat in the chair next to Harry and kissed him on the cheek.
"Yes bright and early. Good Morning Sweetheart." He said as he smiled at his beautiful girlfriend. "And Good Morning to you." He said as she looked down at Jessica.
"Morning DooDoo." Jessica said as Harry lifted her onto his lap.
"So what would Princess Jessica like for breakfast?" he asked as she picked up a plate for Jessica.
"Umms – I yiks umms toasts and den somes ummms." She sat looking at the many breakfast foods in deep thought. "Eggs and somes bacon." She said happily. Harry filled the plate with all the things that Jessica had desired.
"Well I better get going. The entire family will be here within a matter of hours and everything must be ready. Nice chatting with you Harry." Haden said as she stood and walked out into the gardens where house-elves were rushing around setting up for the family picnic.
"So you had a chat with my dad?" Lindsey asked and she turned and looked at Harry.
"Yeah you know about Quidditch and stuff." Harry said as he poured Jessica some orange juice.
"I'm so glad you two are getting along. When I first started dating Jesse my dad gave him a really hard time." Lindsey laughed. "But I guess it was because we were only 15 when we started dating."
"LINDSEY!" screamed a voice. Lindsey turned to see her favorite cousin Mildred running unto the dining hall. "Linds it has been forever. You look great!" Mildred said as she grabbed Lindsey into a bone crushing hug.
"I've so missed you." Lindsey said as Mildred let her go. A little boy who looked to be about Jessica's age followed Mildred and he was holding the hand of a little girl who was about 2 years old. "Oh your kids look so cute." Lindsey said as she bent down and hugged the kids.
"Hi." The boy said.
"What your name?" Lindsey asked.
"Jay and this me sister Ally." The little boy said.
"I'm cousin Lindsey and over there are cousins Harry and Jessica." Lindsey said with a smile. She stood up and hugged Mildred once more. "I want you to meet someone Milly." Lindsey walked Mildred over to where Harry was sitting with a bubbly Jessica on his lap.
"Mildred this is the love of my life Harry Potter. Harry this is my all time favorite cousin Mildred." Lindsey said happily.
"Oh goodness Harry Potter!" exclaimed Mildred.
"Umm yes." Harry said as she sat Jessica in the chair that Lindsey had once occupied.
"It's so fabulous to meet you." Mildred said. "Well I better put the kids upstairs for a nap. While coming in James saw Carlos so you know they've gone off together." Mildred then gathered her two children and left the dinning room Harry, Lindsey, and Jessica all finished their breakfast and Lindsey took Harry on a tour of her parents land.
"We are just outside San Francisco." She said as she walked along the stretch of beach that belonged to her parents. "I've lived here my whole life."
"Better than where I grew up." Grunted Harry.
Lindsey hugged him. "Mmm – At least you were able to survive. From what you told me about then not giving you meals for a week sometimes. You could have died from malnutrition."
"Yeah, I'm extremely glad I lived." He said. "I would of never met you." He said with a smile. Lindsey stepped up on her toes to kiss him.
"Hey Lindsey!" yelled a voice. Lindsey turned to see Javier's wife Gemma.
"Hi Gem!" she yelled back. "That's Javier's wife." She told Harry. "So did my brothers give you a hard time last night?" she asked.
"No not really." He said with a smile.
"Well my sisters kept asking a million questions a minute." She laughed. "But I had perfect answers for all. Especially the ones about how much I love you."
"Mmm – I was-." But then Harry was cut off by the voice of Haden.
"Lindsey dear and Harry come the picnic has started and the entire family is here." Lindsey held onto Harry's hand as they walked back up to the garden to where there were large tables set up and there were people filling all of them. She looked and saw Jessica and a shorter table with all the children. Harry and Lindsey took a seat next to Mildred and James.
At once there was the sound of Haden clearing his throat. Everyone looked up at Lindsey's father who was dressed in emerald green dress robes. "I'd like to welcome everyone who are descendents of the Carte Family here to our families 500th year celebration. I'm sure Uncle Willbert remembers the first celebration as he does all." Haden said as he nodded toward a VERY old wizard who smiled with pride. "There are lots of new faces since the last reunion 10 years ago. Many of those faces are of my grandchildren Jessica, Trent, Taylor, Kelly, Jenny, Rick, Emma, Toby, Jimmy, Paige, Ashley, Zach, Heather, and Matthew. They will be the next ones throwing this celebration along with their parents: Lindsey, Allegra, Merisol, Marvin, Javier, Gemma, and Carlos." The entire family went into applause. "Now if anyone would like to say something they may."
Out of the blue Harry stood up. "Umm – Hi Everyone. I've only known this family for a day and I've felt completely welcome. As some of you may know I am here with Lindsey who has shown herself to be the most amazing woman I've met. I love you Lindsey and I was polite and talked to your father this morning." Then he went on one knee. "Lindsey McGrains since the moment I met you there was something in your spirit that took me away. I know you've been suffering and so have I and if there is anyone who I'd like to spend the rest of my life with. It'd be you. Lindsey will you marry me?" he asked with the biggest smile on his face.
"Yes!" screamed Lindsey who threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. Harry pulled a velvet box out of his pocket that contained a beautiful diamond ring. He slipped it on her finger while she cried. "I love you so much." She whispered.
"Well we have much more to celebrate now. It's not just the Family reunion celebration but an engagement party as well." Haden said as he smiled down at his youngest daughter.
"I'm glad to see her happy again." Felicia said as she hugged her husband.
"I know I've been waiting to see her smile like that for a long time." Haden responded.
