Chapter 21: Hawaii

This chapter is dedicated to one HarryPotterTwilightlover, my bestie. I luv ya! Enjoy, Halie!

Your Pregnancy: Week 26

Don't panic if your uterus suddenly starts tightening and relaxing - Braxton Hicks contractions often begin around this time. They're simply your body's way of practicing and preparing for labor. (If the contractions are regular or particularly painful, call your doc just to be sure it's not the real thing.)

Baby's now the size of an eggplant!
Baby's soaking up your antibodies, getting her immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and she'll soon be practicing the blink...perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.

It was the Wednesday after Padma and Anthony's wedding, and Harry came home looking very excited. Ginny tried to prod it out of him, but he insisted that it was going to be a surprise. He was jittery during dinner, and when dinner was finally over, Ginny couldn't take anymore.

"Okay, what's the surprise?" Ginny asked after dinner. "I can't take anymore!" Harry chuckled, and he led her into the family room off of the kitchen.

"You know how we've always talked about going to Hawaii?" Harry finally asked when they had sat down and were comfortable.

"Yeah…" Ginny's voice held confusion.

"Well, I scheduled us a trip. We're leaving on Sunday." Harry broke the news, and Ginny shrieked.

"Really?" Ginny asked excitedly. She now sat on Harry's lap, straddling him.

"Yeah," Harry chuckled. "I knew you'd be excited." Ginny then proceeded to kiss Harry passionately.

"This is so exciting!" Ginny squealed when they broke away from their kiss. "Where will we be staying?"

"We're going to stay at a Muggle resort," Harry told her. "But we will be getting there by wizard means. I just thought that since we are both well known in the wizarding world, we wouldn't want to stay somewhere where everyone would know us."

"That's smart," Ginny kissed him again. "You really thought of everything, didn't you?" Harry chuckled.

"I at least tried too." Harry and Ginny chuckled.

"Oh, we need to start packing," Ginny quickly got up, and rushed upstairs.

Sunday

They had taken an international portkey to Hawaii, and had arrived late at night. The day had been long and their bodies were jetlagged. At one a.m., Hawaii Time, Ginny was still awake. Harry had fallen to sleep much earlier, and Ginny found that his almost silent snores, that usually didn't bother her, were keeping her awake. As was a beating feeling in her stomach.

She couldn't figure out what she was feeling, so she got out the pregnancy book. After flipping through it for a while, and much consideration, she realized what it was. James was hiccupping.

"Harry!" Ginny exclaimed and she shook him awake.

"What is it?" Harry mumbled, obviously still deep in sleep.

"Harry!" Ginny exclaimed even louder, and this time she gently slapped his cheek.

"Huh?" Harry quickly sat up, and reached for his wand on the bedside table.

"Harry," Ginny turned to him. "I can feel James, and he's hiccupping. It's so sweet. The book said he's also most likely yawning, and blinking!" At Ginny's words, Harry smiled.

"That's amazing!" Harry exclaimed, and he claimed Ginny's lips in a searing kiss. She moaned, and when they pulled apart, she started to undress him.

"I don't wanna sleep," Ginny mumbled as she finished undressing Harry, and he did the same to her.

They didn't end up sleeping until a few hours later, and lots of love making later.

Monday

Monday morning started off with a lie-in, for they had gotten little sleep the night before. When they did wake up, they took a long soothing shower together, and then ordered room service breakfast. They were happy to try the new, native food. After breakfast, Harry told Ginny of the things they could do.

"Okay, we can go and relax by the pool, we could go out on the beach, we could just hang out here, we could go shopping, go for a boat ride…" Harry voice trailed off. "We could pretty much anything."

"Hmm…" Ginny looked thoughtful. "I just kinda wanna relax today, just chill. We have all week, plus I've been having a bit of a stomach and back ache."

"Okay, we could sit on the beach." Harry suggested.

"That sounds wonderful," Ginny smiled. Harry stood up and then helped Ginny to her feet, and they both changed into their swimming suits. Ginny had a two-piece, non-bikini, with a maternity dress on top, and Harry wore swim trunks and a white v-neck t-shirt.

"Ready?" Harry asked when they were both dressed.

"Yep." Ginny nodded, and she grabbed her bag of things. "You'll have to help me put on sunscreen." Ginny told him. Ginny, being super pale, was easily effected by the sun, if not covered up.

"Okay, sounds good." They left their hotel in no time, and were setting up chairs on the beach.

"It's so beautiful!" Ginny gushed. "I love it!" The sun shown beautifully, and the water sparkled. The weather was very nice, and Ginny was looking forward to the beautiful week.

Ginny sat down on the chair, and pulled out the sunscreen bottle, and she handed it to Harry.

"Cover everywhere," Ginny instructed him, and he started to lather it on. He started on her legs; slowly rubbing it on her shins, and then up to her thighs, and getting close to her swim bottoms.

"Watch it, Potter," Ginny moaned out. "We're on the beach." Harry chuckled.

"Of course, dear." Harry chuckled, before he then started on her arms.

Soon enough, he had covered her whole body. He then put some on himself, before he took a seat.

"Aww…" Ginny sighed after a moment. "It's too hot."

"Well then lets get in the water," Harry suggested.

"Go see if it's cold," Ginny pointed to the ocean, and Harry got up from his seat. He jogged over to the water edge, and close enough to feel the water. It was nice and refreshing, and a bit chilly, but he didn't know if it would bother Ginny or not. Harry came back to her, before speaking.

"Well, it's kinda chilly, but I don't know if it'd seem chilly to you, come see." Ginny nodded her head, and let Harry pull her to her feet.

They walked to the water, and were soon where they feet could touch.

"Just a little chilly," Ginny commented. "But it feels good on my feet."

"Yeah, it does." Harry agreed. They stood there for a moment, before Ginny spoke.

"I don't wanna stand anymore, it hurts my back." She told Harry.

"I'm sorry, love." Harry kissed her. "I'll go get the chairs." He ran up the beach, got the chairs, and brought them back down. He set them up, before helping Ginny ease to her seat.

"Yes, this is better," Ginny leaned her head back, and closed her eyes. Taking the chance, Harry kissed her neck, eliciting another moan from Ginny.

"Harry," She moaned, as he continued to kiss her neck. "Later."

"Promise?" Harry asked, and Ginny couldn't help but chuckle.

"We did it all night," Ginny pointed out.

"You didn't seem to complain then," Harry said.

"I didn't say I didn't want to later," Ginny assured him. "I was merely pointing out that we've done plenty." Harry then chuckled.

"You know you want to, Gin." Harry said as he kissed her neck once more.

"Of course I want to!" Ginny exclaimed. "I'm relaxing right now, though."

"Okay, so later?" Harry asked, his hand moving to rub gentle circles on Ginny's baby bump.

"Yes, later." Ginny agreed. "And that feels wonderful," Ginny said, referring to him rubbing her belly.

"I can feel him," Harry said softly.

"I can, too." Ginny said. "He's quite active right now."

"It's amazing to feel him," Ginny admitted. "I love it."

"I love it too," Harry agreed. "And I love that you're carrying our baby."

"I love you," Ginny said as Harry continued to rub her tummy.

"I love you, too, baby," And before Ginny knew it, she was fast asleep.

She awoke hours later, to find herself lying in their hotel bed, in her nightgown.

"Harry!" She called, and Harry was soon at her side.

"Good to see you're up," Harry chuckled as he kissed her cheek.

"How long was I out for?" Ginny asked, as she rubbed her eyes, and then her tummy. "And how did I sleep through James." Harry chuckled.

"About three hours," He told her.

"Oh," Ginny yawned. "Well I feel much better."

"Good," Harry chuckled and he kissed her nose. "So, what do you want to do now?"

"Take a nice tub," Ginny said. "But I want you to join me."

"A tub," Harry raised his eyebrows. "Or a tub."

"Hmm… definitely a tub." Ginny said as she sat up in bed. "Carry me, Harry." Harry gladly picked her up, and carried her to their bathroom, whilst peppering her neck and face with feather light kisses.

"Harry," Ginny moaned as he undressed her. "Faster." Harry moaned and continued to undress her, before finishing himself.

After the bath, it was time for dinner, and Harry and Ginny decided to try one of the restaurants on the boardwalk. Ginny wore a maternity, light blue, sundress. It was a tank top, but wasn't too revealing, and went to about her knees. Harry wore a green polo, and khaki shorts, and they both wore sandals on their feet.

"So, are you enjoying Hawaii so far?" Harry asked conversationally as they walked to the boardwalk.

"Yeah," Ginny grinned, slightly out of breath. She stopped walking, and just breathed for a moment.

"You okay?" Harry asked with concern.

"Just outta breath," Ginny assured him. "Completely normal, though." She assured him.

"Okay," Harry smiled, although we still looked slightly concerned. "Maybe we should take a break from all of the love mak-" Ginny cut Harry off.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence, Potter!" Ginny exclaimed. "It has nothing to do with our love making. Okay?" Harry nodded his head.

"Okay," Harry took Ginny's hand, and kissed each knuckle. "If you're sure."

"Positive," Ginny assured him.

"Good, because I don't wanna stop." Harry said with a chuckle, and Ginny giggled.

"Such a boy." She said with a shake of her head.

They got to the restaurant soon after that, and were soon seated. They ordered burgers and fries; something hadn't ever tried. They were both excited to see what they tasted like. Soon, they were served, and both were nearly jumping out of their seats. The waiter gave them a funny look, before Harry said.

"We're from England," At this, the waiter laughed.

"I see," He said before walking away.

"Here we go!" Ginny exclaimed and she took a bite of the huge burger filled with meat, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, mayo, ketchup and mustard. "This is so good!" Ginny exclaimed through her full mouth, although it sounded more like, 'ziz iz zo goob!' Harry just chuckled.

"This is really good." Harry agreed, before he tried the fries. "Mmm… this is good too!"

"Yes, nice side," Ginny agreed.

After dinner, they walked across the beach, until Ginny decided it was time to get back. Back at the room, they didn't have any time to do anything, for Ginny fell to sleep easily.

Tuesday

Tuesday, Ginny slept in quite late. Harry had gotten up, and made a list of things he wanted to do while in Hawaii, and Ginny could do the same, and then they could plan out what they wanted to do for the rest of the week. Harry wasn't sure what they could do, since Ginny was pregnant, but they could try to do as much as possible.

Harry's list read,

-try surfing

-hang out on the beach some more

-check out more food

-try golfing

-go clubbing

-see a Muggle movie

-go boating

-swim

-buy souvenirs and gifts for the family

-sight see

-chill

-more love making

Harry knew Ginny would get a kick out of the last thing on the list, and now he was anxious to get started. Soon enough, Ginny awoke, and Harry greeted her with kisses.

"Harry," Ginny moaned.

"Good morning, beautiful." Ginny giggled.

"Morning, Harry," Ginny stretched her arms above her head, and Harry tickled her. "Harry!" She shrieked, and Harry chuckled, before giving her a wet, slobbery kiss.

"Love you, baby." Harry said.

"I love you, too. Did you sleep well?"

"Of course," Harry said truthfully.

"Good," Ginny sat up, and yawned. "I'm hungry." Harry chuckled at her bluntness.

"Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"French toast… with…." Ginny looked thoughtful. "With… mustard."

"Mustard?" Harry asked quizzically. "Do you mean syrup?"

"No, baby, mustard." Ginny nodded her head. "Go on, order room service." Harry kissed her nose.

"Okay," He went over to the phone, and ordered Ginny's breakfast.

"Did you already eat?" Ginny asked when he came back to the bed.

"Yeah, I've been up for about two hours," Harry explained.

"Aw, so what have you been up too?"

"I wrote out a list of everything I want to do this trip," Harry told her. "I was thinking you could do the same, and then we could make sure we do everything."

"Oh, that's a good idea," Ginny nodded her head. "I love it."

"Okay, I'll get you pen and paper." Harry got out of the bed again, and got her supplies, before the room service arrived. Harry collected the food, and brought it also to the bed.

"Ewe, not mustard." Ginny looked disgusted at the food in front of her, and she plugged her nose. "I think I'm gonna puke!" Harry quickly took the mustard away and gave her a funny look.

"Why'd you ask for it then?" Harry asked her.

"I don't know, it sounded good at the time, I guess." Ginny shrugged her shoulders. "I'd just really like some syrup." Harry chuckled, and reached for the syrup packets on the nightstand.

"Good thing they brought up some syrup." Harry commented.

"Good thing," Ginny agreed, and then she ate her breakfast in no time.

"Okay, on to the list!" Ginny said when she finished eating. She quickly jotted down some things on a paper, before handing it to Harry. He read over it before laughing; hard. The list read,

-relax

-make love

-go to the beach

-make love

-eat good food

-make love

-be with you

-make love

-swim in the pool

-make love

-see dolphins

-make love

-go do something fun in town

-make love

-see something beautiful

-more love making

"Do you like my list?" Ginny asked when it seemed Harry had finished reading it, and he was laughing quite hard.

"Of course I love your list," Harry kissed her. "You wrote it."

"May I read yours?" Ginny asked with a smirk, and Harry handed it to Ginny. She quickly read over it.

"Well, I think we'll have a great trip." Ginny commented when she finished reading. Harry snorted.

"Oh yes," He agreed. "What shall we do first?"

"I think I know," Ginny said, before straddling Harry, and passionately kissing him.

After more of yesterday, they both showered, and decided to hit the town, and see what they could do. The hotel was on the beach, so they took a bus over to the town, and soon found many things to do.

There was a movie theatre, many shopping outlets, restaurants, a salon, a candy shop, ice cream parlor, and a few other little shops.

"What should we do first?" Ginny asked Harry.

"We could look for things for the family," Harry suggested.

"Okay, that sounds good." Ginny agreed. Holding hands, they walked to what looked to be a souvenir shop. It was lined with all sorts of trinkets, t-shirts, hats, mugs, and all sorts of things. Right away, they found something perfect for Molly.

"It's wonderful!" Ginny gushed when Harry pointed the shirt out to her. It said 'Worlds Best Grandmother!' and on the back it said Hawaii.

"She'll love it," Harry agreed and Ginny nodded.

"We should find the same thing for my dad," Ginny suggested. "Nice and easy." Harry chuckled.

"Sounds good to me," They looked through the shop, before finding an even better shirt. It had three surfboards lining the front of it, with 'Old Guys Rule!' written on the surfboards.

"We have to get it!" Ginny exclaimed, and Harry just laughed.

"We do," Harry agreed. "Do you think he'll like it though?"

"Of course he'll like it!" Ginny exclaimed. They turned the shirt around, and as with Molly's it said Hawaii on the back. They continued to look through the store, before finding something perfect for Hermione. It was a book on the ecosystem of Hawaii, and a few other interesting things about Hawaii. They knew she'd love it. They found a cute little pink dolphin stuffed animal, that had 'I {heart} Hawaii' written on it, and decided to get that for Dominique. They were making great progress. Then, they found funny hats and t-shirts for the Weasley men.

They got a hat for Bill that said; 'Hott Guy' and they thought he'd die when he read it. They were trying to get teaser things for the guys. For Charlie they got a baby pink t-shirt that said, 'Tough Guys Wear Pink'. For Percy, they got a t-shirt that had a tie on it, and on the back said, 'This IS Casual!' and a shot glass that had Hawaii written on the side.For George, they got a white t-shirt with an arrow pointing up to the person wearing the shirt. Below the arrow, it read, 'I'm With The Loser', simple and plain. They laughed at that one. For Ron, they got a bright orange fishing hat. It had tassels and everything on it. They thought they'd just write with sharpie on one side, 'Chudley Cannons'.

For the women, they got more simple, sweet things. For Fleur they got shell earrings. For Audrey, they got something called a mood necklace. The charm was in the shape of a conch shell. For Angelina, they got a cute sundress for the summer, after Fred was born, and it was striped orange, green and turquoise. It was loud and fun.

Then, they found beach toys for Teddy, and vowed that that summer they would take him somewhere fun and sunny, even if they did have a newborn infant. For Victoire, they got a cute little pink sundress, with 'Aloha' written on the front. And they even found a cute outfit for baby Fred.

"Well, we were successful," Ginny commented, before she remembered someone they missed. "We need to get Andromeda something!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Yes we do," Harry agreed, and then they searched the store. They ended up buying her a yarn braided bag, a very native thing to Hawaii.

After their shopping, they went and saw a movie, went to dinner, and then went back to the hotel. They decided to do more of what they'd done earlier, since it was obviously a top five on Ginny's to do list.

Wednesday

Wednesday was relatively boring. They both slept in, before going down to the hotel pool. Harry swam around, while Ginny sat on the lawn chair, and relaxed. After they swam, they went to a café for lunch. They tried the American version of fish and chips, and decided that they much preferred it in England, especially Hannah's; she was an amazing cook.

After lunch, they walked the beach, before they got caught up in a passionate snogging session.

"Hotel, now…" Ginny mumbled, when thing's started to get heated. Harry all but carried Ginny back to their hotel and the rest of the day was spent in bed.

Dinner was a quiet, easy affair. They ordered room service, and ate in bed. They had another tub and then were off to sleep.

Thursday

Harry awoke early on Thursday, hoping that today they could do some of the other things on his list, things that were native to Hawaii. He had even thought of another thing to add to his list; canoeing. He thought that they could try and pack in as many things as possible. Obviously, he hadn't thought much about Ginny.

When she finally awoke at 11:30, Harry was a bit miffed. He didn't want to be short, or mad with his wife, since he had no idea what it was like to be pregnant, but he had been hoping they could do something more today.

"Morning," Harry said when Ginny sat up, and rolled out of bed.

"Morning, honey." Ginny said and she came over and gave Harry a kiss, from his perch on the couch. "What'd you get up to this morning?"

"Just sitting here," Harry said simply, and he couldn't keep the irritation out of his voice.

"What's wrong?" Ginny asked, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Oh, nothing," Harry said, but the tone of his voice said that it was much more than nothing.

"I know that tone," Ginny said. "What's wrong, baby?"

"Don't worry about it, Gin." Harry said again. "Just get ready to go."

"Go where?" Ginny asked.

"Out. I was hoping we could do some things today." Harry told her.

"Well, don't I get a say in this?" Ginny asked.

"We've been doing what you want all week." Harry snapped.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ginny shot back. "It seemed liked you were quite enjoying most of the activities this week. Everything we did was on your list!"

"We've done barely anything!" Harry exclaimed.

"Well excuse me!" Ginny fired. "I didn't know that I was being such a burden! By all means, leave!"

"I don't wanna go alone!" Harry exclaimed.

"Too bad." Ginny snapped, before going to the bathroom, and locking herself in. Within seconds, Harry heard the tub turn on. Harry let out a loud sigh. This is not how he had planned today to pan out.

Harry walked to the bathroom door, and knocked.

"Go away!" Ginny yelled from inside. "Go do what you want!"

"Gin-" Harry started, but Ginny cut him off.

"Go!" She yelled, and Harry could tell she 100% meant it. Harry sighed in defeat and decided to go, and leave her to herself for a little while. He got a few things, before leaving the hotel. He decided to go check out what water sports he could. And once he got started, he didn't realize how much time had passed.

Six hours later, Ginny hadn't heard a word from Harry, and she was freaking out. He hadn't told her where he was going, how long he'd be gone, or anything else. Ginny felt bad for what she'd said, but Harry had started it, and Ginny had no pity for that. If he was stupid enough to pick a fight with a Weasley woman, while she was pregnant, it was his own fault. But, that didn't keep her from worrying and loving him more than ever.

Ginny hadn't left the hotel all day. She'd had a nice, long, bubble bath, before she'd called for room service. After a big, yummy lunch, she went down to the spa and got a special maternity massage, and then she had taken a nap. After the nap, she awoke, realizing she hadn't heard from Harry all day, and here she sat.

After a half hour longer, filled with Ginny pacing, Ginny sitting with worry, and then Ginny crying, the hotel room door opened.

"Harry!" Ginny shrieked, and she raced to him. She threw her arms around his neck, and peppered his face with kisses. "I love you, I love you, I love you!" Ginny exclaimed, and Harry instantly felt bad. When he'd gotten out of the ocean, he realized what time it was, and that Ginny was most likely worried. "Where were you?" Ginny exclaimed again.

"I love you, too." Harry said, ignoring her last question, and he gave her a long, searing, loving kiss. "I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry too, Harry, I didn't mean anything I said!" Ginny promised, and they shared another searing kiss.

"Come on, love." Harry picked her up, and carried her to the bed. The rest of the night, aside from their simple dinner, and a few catnaps, Harry and Ginny made love.

Friday

Friday was much like the night before. Harry and Ginny ate simple meals, a few snacks, took a bunch of lazy naps, and made love. They took tubs, and made love on the couch, and in the bed. And when they'd finish, they'd take a nap, and when one would awake, they'd awake the other with kisses, that would quickly led to more love making.

All in all, Friday was a very relaxing, lazy, loving day, and Harry and Ginny enjoyed every minute of it all.

Saturday

Saturday, they spent no time in Hawaii doing something. They woke up, packed up, and portkeyed home. They were sad to leave the warm beach, and sunny weather, but were also glad to be getting back. Saturday they unpacked, and lazed around the house, preparing for the full week ahead of them. Hawaii was much fun, but they were both excited to get on with their lives.

-READ THE AUTHORS NOTES PLEASE!-

A/N- I have no excuse for why this took forever, except I was on vacation. I've been putting it off, and doing other things, so please forgive me! Chapter 22 may come sooner, as in this week, though if you all REVIEW! Please!

Forgive me if this was horrible! I have never been to Hawaii; I've only been to four states (California, Nevada, Arizona & Utah), and nowhere else, kinda pathetic, so bear with me, lovelies!

I read The Notebook! It was SO sad! But SO sweet. I don't think I've ever cried that much, nothing compared to when I read 'The Last Song'. If you've read it, let me know, and we can have a little chat. And then I watched the movie, and it is now my FAVORITE movie EVER!

One other thing. Has anyone seen 'Dear John'? What do you think? Me and bestie are thinking of watching it (Halie) but I wanna know if it's any good? Any opinions? Thanks!

Last thing, when should Harry and Ginny's anniversary be? Like an actual date. I say Harry proposed to her when she finished Hogwarts, so what day, what year? I NEED your help ASAP! PLEASE!
