Hey! Sorry it has been so long, I hate revision and my first exam is a week on Thursday nooooo! Anyway I apologise for the slow pace of this story, I wanted to return to the family theme this chapter before carrying on with events and the plot. This chapter will lead on to just a Harry and Ginny chapter, which I'm looking forward to writing!
Sorry for any grammatical errors, please read!

Chapter 29
Harry woke up feeling fresh after yesterday's antics. Ginny was still fast asleep with her ginger straight hair flowing freely down her back. She looked so peaceful and beautiful, and this was what made Harry feel so lucky to have her. It was hard to believe that a stunner of a woman could have fallen for a humble man like him. "Harry, stop stroking my hair." Ginny murmured in her sleep.
"But it's so soft." Harry replied continuing to drift his fingers through the strands.
"Urgh Potter, I hate it when you watch me sleep. It's why I always get up before you." Ginny sat up and stretched: "Come, we've got to be a St Mungo's in two hours and there's the boys to sort."
"Right ok, I was thinking Gin, could the boys sleep at the Burrow tonight?" Harry asked her.
"Why?" She darted a glance at him.
"It's awhile since we had some time to ourselves, and I was thinking that it might be fun to do something." Harry leaned forward and kissed her cupping his hands in her cheeks. She embraced herself in him and Harry slid his hands down to her waist. Ginny ruffled his hair and grinned: "What's so funny Gin?"
"I'm sure you mutter spells of destruction while you're asleep, your hair is sticking up in every direction possible." She giggled and gazed into his emerald green eyes. He gazed back into her chestnut brown eyes and the corner of his mouth rose: "Let's not do this now, we have a schedule."
Harry woke up Teddy and got him dressed while the toddler groaned and yawned: "Harry it's too early, too early for me." Harry chuckled and pulled his sweater over him. It was routine now for Harry to dress Teddy, while Ginny dressed James: "You can sleep at Grandma's house?"
"Are we going to be there all day?" Teddy asked.
"No Buddy, Gin and I have a special treat for you and James this afternoon, but we need to go out this morning." Harry said guiding the toddler down the stairs.
"Can we come with you?" Teddy asked him.
"No, we're planning a very special surprise for you and James in a few months time." Harry said.
"Cool!" Teddy ran to the kitchen and took his usual spot next to the high chair. Ginny was serving James porridge and trying to teach him how to feed himself, although he had got the hang of covering himself in it. "Here you go Teddy, dragon toast." Teddy smiled and stared and the dragon shaped pieces of toast. Harry pulled up a chair and sat down with the Quibbler, he had already automatically binned the Daily Prophet but it felt wrong not to read something.
An hour later Harry flooed the two boys over to the Burrow and then set off with Ginny to the hospital. The last time they were there was when they left with James. Today though, there was no sea of reporters or cameras, just them and the building.
"Hello, Ginny Potter here to see a healer." Ginny said at the front desk.
"Go right ahead." a voice spoke from beyond the desk and the couple left for the maternity ward. Ginny clenched Harry's hand but Harry let go and wrapped his hand around her. "Ah, Harry and Ginny, good to see you again, what can I do for you?" Cho Chang spoke up as soon as they entered the room.
"Hello Cho, and I have a feeling I may be pregnant again." Ginny said.
"Ah ok, well we'll prop you up on this bed and find out!" Ginny clambered onto the hospital bed and Harry on the chair next to it with his hands clasped. Cho grabbed a few things from across the room: "Ok, this is a charm that will detect a heartbeat. But first I need you to drink this so it will ignore yours. If the ball of light burns blue, you're pregnant." She handed Ginny the vial and she downed the liquid in one, then Cho whispered the charm.
A white ball of light appeared just above Ginny. It turned red and Harry sighed but Cho told him to wait a minute. It evolved to pink, then to purple and Ginny jumped in glee when it became blue: "Oh my Godric Harry, we're having another baby!"
"That's fantastic Gin, three children!" Harry leant over kiss her lovingly. They were barely adults, but the thought of another child was not daunting for them. They loved their family and wouldn't have it any other way. It had become now a trend for witches and wizards to marry younger due to Harry and Ginny tying the knot two months after the war. Harry though didn't regret it now, he knew that Ginny was the one because she was all he could think about in the Forbidden forest. "Thanks Cho, oh and I hope everything works out between you and Blaise Zabini." Harry said as they prepared to leave.
"It's been a pleasure, and I hope so too, I think he may be possibly the one for me." Cho said.
"Well if he is, then my advice is not to wait around, I mean if I had left it up to Harry he would still be only flirting with me." Ginny laughed.
"I will never understand males." Cho laughed and waved the couple off. They flooed back to the Burrow.
"Hey Mum, Harry and I have the afternoon off work do we've decided to take the boys out." Ginny said. Her and Harry had decided it would be best for them to cover up what they had being doing, they would announce when it was more obvious that Ginny was pregnant.
"Hey Mum and Dad." Teddy ran into the room with James toddling behind.
"Dad? You've never called me Dad Teddy!" Harry was startled by Teddy calling him Dad.
"Well you are my parents now, so that makes James my brother and Ginny my mum and you my dad." For a four year old, Teddy was clever for his age.
"I guess it does, now how does the park sound for this afternoon buddy? We could get ice-cream?" Harry asked him.
"Yey! Bye bye!" Teddy ran out the door and the adults laughed.
"Mum, any chance of the boys staying here tonight?" Ginny asked picking up James and trying to force his shoes on although the one year old wasn't having any of it. "Yeah sure love, we'd love them, what are you two doing tonight?"
"Harry has plans." Ginny said smiling at the fact she was spending the night with just her husband. Arthur and Molly smiled as they waved the couple off, their daughter was so happy.
The young family had a great afternoon. Harry had chosen a muggle park so their faces would not appear on the front of the Daily Prophet the next day. He also noticed that Teddy was acting like a big brother to James, by helping him up to steps to the slide under Ginny's supervision and cheekily pushing him down the slide into Harry's arms. They then went for ice creams, although James wore his like a face mask and Teddy's ended up in Harry's face. Ginny cleared up her husband and the four headed back to their home. "Ok Harry, I'm going to have a shower while you pack the boy's pyjamas, and then get ready yourself." She pecked him on the cheek before sweeping off to the bathroom.
Hope you enjoyed that little family chapter. I think it's cute how Teddy is calling Harry Dad now! Anyway, sorry for the crap pregnancy thing, it sounds really cheesy. I wanted to pair Cho Chang with someone, but I didn't know who. Although now I think her and Blaise make quite a sweet couple. Anyway, suggestions for any future chapter and comments on the story so far are welcome in the review section!
Thanks for reading, please review!
