Harry came into the house and all was quiet. He had come home early, wanting to be with his family. Harry proceeded into the living room to find his wife asleep on the couch with baby James in his playpen next to her, looking up at Harry happily. Harry smiled at his son then lifted his wife off the couch. She stirred a bit and mumbled, "You are home. That son of ours has been causing trouble," Ginny whispered not even opening her eyes.
"You need to sleep love. I will take care of James," Harry told her as he laid her in their bed and covered her. Harry kissed her on the forehead and then walked back to James. Who was looking up at Harry with a mischievous smile on his face, he was just starting to sit up now and he could mumble.
Harry picked up his son and kissed James' head. "Have you been causing trouble today James?" Harry asked his son. James was a character, he was sweet but he also was a trouble maker. James somehow already hid Harry's wand (which they found under his crib) and he had just yesterday climbed out of his bed and filled the bathtub overflowing the bathroom. At eight months old, you would think these things would be difficult, but not for James.
Harry sighed and looked down at her precious son. He had grown so much, his hair was so messy, he has had several haircuts already but it just grows back. He was wearing a shirt that said 'Mommy's Troublemaker' it used to say 'Mommy's Angel' before Ginny charmed it. But he was a little boy that you could fall in love with easily, he had a laugh that was contagious, and eyes that get you every time, just like his mother.
Harry decided to take his son out; he was probably bored of being in the house so much. Harry left Ginny a note assuring her they were okay, she was really tired lately, and was throwing up this morning, she needed to rest.
Harry took James to a muggle park around the corner from their home, where he enjoyed his first tastes of ice cream. Which he slurped happily, with a smile on his face. Harry let his hold the cone, which was a mistake because James shoved it in Harry's face. "Da-da!" James said for the first time as he laughed at his father being covered in ice cream.
"You said da-da!" Harry said as he picked up his son and spun him around. James just laughed which caused Harry to laugh. Harry really did love these moments with his son, in a way, he was getting his own childhood back through James.
After an hour, somehow reporters started to show up with cameras, and Harry decided that it was best to leave. Harry and Ginny did not want James to grow up around all the publicity. So, Harry left the park and went back home with his son. When they arrived there was a scream coming from the bathroom, Harry ran forward with panic.
James was still in his hands but looked frightened. Harry entered the bathroom where he heard the scream come from; he was Ginny sitting on the floor holding something in her hands. "Ginny! Are you okay?" Harry asked frantically.
"Harry James Potter!" Ginny yelled with fierceness. Then slowly, she held up a stick, the same stick she held almost a year and a half ago, and it said the same simple word: PREGNANT.
Harry stood there for a second in shock, another child so soon? James was not even one yet. But the past eight months had been the best of Harry's life, regardless of the diapers and the bottles, he loved watching his son grow. "This is wonderful," Harry told her excitedly.
"Wonderful for you! You don't have to go through the mood swings, being as big as a house, being in pain, giving birth!" Ginny said, she obviously did not feel the same way as Harry.
"Actually, sweetheart, I do have to deal with the mood swings. Oh common, another baby you have to admit it is pretty wonderful. You know what James said today? He said da-da," Harry told her as he sat down next to her sitting James on his lap, who looked at his mother curious.
"Ma-ma!" James said for the first time pointing his little finger at Ginny and smiling.
With that Ginny took him into her arms and kissed him. "You know, maybe another baby is a good thing. He needs someone to grow up with," Ginny told Harry and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Harry laughed. "You and Hermione will be having babies at the same time now," Harry reminded her of Hermione who was five months pregnant with Ron and Hermione's first.
Ginny laughed and nodded, she whipped away her tears. Harry put an arm around her and kissed the top of her fiery head. Together they looked at their son who was still smiling brightly to his parents. "Another baby," Harry said happily.
"Another baby," Ginny replied.
