I felt put back together. Everything was coming in to place. We held each other in silence for a while, each relived that the other was breathing.

"I have someone I need you to meet. I pulled away, looking him in the eye.

"Ginny, can it wait?" Ron asked.

"No. It can't. Harry come with me." I motioned for him to follow me.

"How about the rest of us get in the cottage, have some beverages or something." Lena cleared her throat awkwardly.

They all went in the house, Ron protesting all the way.

I knocked on the shed, "it's me. Boys why don't you take your brother and sisters in to Grana's. Bethy, can you bring her to me?"

The door creaked open the reveal Daniel, carrying a sleeping John. David followed suit with Lydia, and finally Elizabeth came out, with my daughter clutched in her arms.

I took my baby, still fast asleep, into my arms, and turned to Harry. His eyes were wide in shock.

"This little girl, is why I left." He ran his hands through his hair nervously so I rushed on, "I'm sorry Harry. I know it was hard, but I had to.."

He silenced me with his lips on mine.

Finally we broke apart. "No Gin. Thank you." He smiled and looked down at the baby between us. "You kept her safe all this time. I'm sorry you had to do that. But I am so glad you did."

He brushed his finger along her face in awe. "What's her name?" He asked as she puckered her lips in her sleep.

"Aurora Jameson Luchane Potter. I hope you like it, I had to pick one on my own. I tried to find something nice, to honor our parents while making her name her own." I looked at him, trying to gage his reaction.

"Perfect. It's perfect. I'm sorry I missed it." He sniffed "She looks just like you. You did such a good job, she is beautiful."

"She has your eyes." I smiled "want to hold her?"

Harry shifted nervously "Can I?"

I handed Aurora over to her father, hearing a familiar shutter noise. "Of course you can hold her Harry, she is your daughter. I heard you Lena!" I raised my voice, hearing her giggle and the door close.

"Hello Aurora." He whispered "I'm your daddy."

I stared at the two of them feeling joy I could never imagine, our little family together. Aurora had her mummy and her daddy, alive and well. My heart could burst.

She made a few little noises and yawned before opening her eyes and looking at Harry. "Hello beautiful girl." He almost cried.

"Are you ready to share her?" I pulled him from the trance our daughter seemed to have him under.

"Never." He wiped his eyes. "But I will bring her in so Ron and Hermione can meet her."

Harry carried her in with such pride, I watched as Ron's eyes went wide and Hermione sprung from her seat to meet our child. Ron was wary but excited, happy that I was alive and had good reason to fake my death. I think he was even more excited that he had bragging rights that he was the first uncle to meet his niece.

As Ron cradled my child for the first time a knock came from the door. Cassandra stood on the porch with none other than Draco Malfoy standing next to her. I walked up to the open door and stared at him. After a moment, I embraced him. Draco patted my back awkwardly for a moment.

"Okay Weaslette. That's enough now." He went limp.

I stepped back and pointed at him "I'm not going to apologize for that. You saved my daughter's life, and I can never repay you for that. Thank you." Harry came up behind me with a hand on my shoulder and extended his other hand.

"I know we have never met eye to eye, but I appreciate whatever you did for me, and for protecting my family." He shook Draco's hand and squeezed my shoulder.

Draco cleared his throat, "okay, well. Cassandra if you would care to escort me to the other refugees, that would help me quite a bit."

"Potter, Weasley." He nodded at us before leaving the porch.

"Well that was, strange" Ron said from the rocking chair.

As the sun rose there was hustle and bustle. Packing my bags, convincing Lena to pack her bags, and the passing around of Aurora.

I left when it was still early enough for the children to be sleeping. I could see no sense in waking them when I would be seeing them in a few days. Harry took Aurora, Ron took my hand, and Lena and Hermione joined hands. We all Aparated back to Ottery St. Catchpole.

It was utter chaos. People running about my parents' yard. I tried to plow through it all as fast as I could, dragging Harry along behind me. The back door was open, and Fleur stood in the doorway gaping at me.

"Ginnee?" She gasped.

I hugged her quickly, "where's Mum?"

"Up zee stairs! Hurree!" She swatted me away fanning her eyes.

I took off, passing loads of people, but looking for my mother. I came to my own bedroom to see her peeking into a pram with her back to me.

I stepped in carefully and quietly. "Mum?" I whispered.

"Just a minute dear." I heard her sniff and saw her wipe her eyes, gathering herself together. "Okay, what can I get you-" she turned and faced me, frozen.

"Hi mum." I kept my voice cracked.

"Oh my Ginny. Is it really you? My heart just can't take it if it's not." She placed a hand over her heart.

"Yes Mum. It really is me. I'm alive." I walked towards her slowly.

She grabbed me up and squeezed me half to death. "Oh my baby. Your home. Oh your home." She cried.

I thought I missed my mum before, but now, in her embrace, it hit my full force. Her scent filled my nose and I felt like I was home.

"Arthur! Come here! Our baby is home! Hurry!" She shouted.

That is when Harry came around the corned with our baby in his arms.

"Mum, this is-" but she had already rushed forward.

"This is why?" She burst with a fresh set of tears. "I'm a grandmother?"

"Yes Mum." I came up behind her and watched my daughter wake up from yet another nap.

"Molly, meet Aurora Jameson." Harry passed her to my mother just as my father walked in.

There were more tearful reunions but it came to a screeching halt when crying erupted from the pram.

"Teddy!" Harry rushed to our Godson and lifted him from his bed. "Hey buddy."

"Oh Harry. I meant to tell you" my dad started to say.

"I know. Remus, Tonks." Harry cradled Teddy in his arms.

"Andromeda too. Harry, you are all he has left." My dad came to him slowly.

"And Ginny, and Aurora. He has a family still. We have enough love to go around." He looked down at our Godson, "Here I am Ted, how do you feel about being a big brother?"
