Chapter 14 Life Goes On

Ginny awoke on the Tuesday morning in her own bed. And not just her own bed, her own bed with a peaceful Harry in it. She crept out of the bed, and went to the toilet. Once she had been, she could hear James crying.

Ginny entered the nursery Harry and Ron had created the day before and peered down at her sleeping son. He looked just like Harry, his body sprawled across the mattress in the crib and his mouth slightly open showing a cute expression. But as she was watching, the screams became louder and louder. She picked up the baby, rocked it gently before heading to the kitchen.

She made breakfast while preparing James' bottle. It was Harry's favourite: pancakes with coffee. Once the bottle was ready, she propped James up in her arms: "There you go you little hungry mite." while she stroked his already uncontrollable hair flat.

"Morning" Ginny jumped to see Harry leaning against the doorway: "I smell pancakes Gin, you know me way too well."

"Well since it's your first morning home, I've decided to treat you." She pouted, which was a sign for Harry to kiss her, which he did:"Ew Harry, you have really bad morning breath, here take James, these pancakes need tossing."

"Ok, can I go and put him in the living room, I've set up the carry cot, did it after you went upstairs to sort him out and get him to go to sleep." Harry asked his wife.

"Yeah sure, just make sure you do it carefully, I don't want his neck broke." Ginny replied.

Harry placed his son in the carry cot before returning to the wrapped his arms around Ginny, hugging her waist tightly while she was trying to cook. Harry then gently kissed right down her neck whispering: "I love you."

Ginny giggled like a ten year old girl: "Urgh, Harry you're distracting me, I'll burn your pancakes."

"You better not, I'm starving!" He stretched showing his toned torso.

"You always are" Ginny laughed again, "Your son takes after you too, he was screaming for a feed this morning. Now I have two hungry men to feed."

"I know, oh and that looks done Gin." Harry told her. She plated up the breakfast, and her and Harry sat down. Harry shovelled down the pancakes, but Ginny ate hers slowly while stroking Harry's leg under the table: "Gin, please stop, if you do that anymore I won't be able to control myself, and I really don't want another James yet."

"Ok, but I like doing it, here's Nutmeg with the mail." Ginny smiled sweetly.

Harry opened the new Arrival cards one by one. They had come from all over, some from people he knew, some from total strangers. Then he found the Daily Prophet.

"THE NEW ARRIVAL OF BABY POTTER.

Exactly one year after the war, eighteen year old Ginevra Molly Potter gave birth to a baby boy, which the couple have named James Sirius Potter after Harry's father and Godfather.

We had been watching St Mungos for a few days now, but it came to light this morning when we saw Ron Weasley and his partner Hermione Granger as well as some other Weasleys entering the hospital. But it became clear when Mr Potter himself arrived at St Mungos. As they returned with the baby in arms, we managed to get one question out of Harry about his new found fatherhood: "He's my son, and he means the world to me." But is Potter really ready to become a father?"

Harry looked at the smiling picture of Ginny and him with James, and he had never realised this, but they looked surprisingly like James and Lily, his parents. He was holding James outside of the hospital, and he had his arm round Ginny.

"Our boy made front page love." Ginny snatched the article from him, and gave a mischievous smirk in his direction. She smiled when she saw the picture.

"For a woman who just gave birth, I really don't look bad." Ginny told Harry.

They both directed their heads at the living room when James started wailing again: "You finish your coffee Harry, I'll sort him." Ginny sighed and entered the living room, "Ew, I can definitely smell shit!"

She heard Harry's laugh from the next room. Great, his sarcastic remarks and mocking her had returned. Even though it was only for one week, Ginny had missed having the house to herself. "Potter, do want to do this?"

"Not particularly, I think James wants you to."

"Thought so, so shut your mouth while I do this horrific deed." Ginny shouted back at him.

Ginny returned fifteen minutes later while Harry was reading the rest of the paper. She leant against the worktop, twirling her red hair. "Oh, hello Mrs Potter." Harry whispered in his sexy man voice.
Ginny strolled over wiggling her hips and sat on his lap.

"Hello to you too, Mr Potter." Ginny replied.

"Why, I do think you think you make one yummy mummy." Harry murmured.

Ginny slapped him, "Harry James Potter! Having a baby does not make me immediately thirty!" she said: "And weren't you reading that paper?"

"Stuff that!" Harry threw the paper on the kitchen floor and grabbed Ginny into a passionate snog. He rubbed her cheek: "Only you could get talcum powder on your face Ginny!"

"You better watch out Harry, with those Aran jumpers, you're heading for a mid-life crisis." Ginny giggled.

"Right that's it Ginevra Molly Potter, I'm off to my office." He kissed her once more before he jokily stormed out the kitchen and before he left the door, he stuck his tongue out at her. This was the Harry that made her uncontrollably smile.
