Chapter One; Baby Love
"Alright Angel sit." Eve told her as the dog sat down in front of her licking her lips at the treat that she held in her hand. "Now up." She said as the dog stood up on her hind legs. "Beg." Eve instructed as the dog whimpered and placed her front paws together pleadingly. "Good girl, here's your cookie." Eve told her as she tossed the treat over to her.
"She's pretty good maybe I should enter her in a dog show." She told Ron as he entered the room.
"Big deal, so she knows a few tricks. When she learns how to drive a car let me know. Because that would actually be something worth seeing." He told her.
"There was a dog I saw on Youtube that knew how to do that. Of course they had to make it special for him since he couldn't reach the pedals." She told him.
"Yeah but Angel doesn't have time to learn all that." Harry said as he walked into the room carrying his car keys. "She's way too busy helping Tobey out. Well I'm going to work, can I have a kiss before I leave?" he asked her as she nodded and kissed his cheek as he bent down and kissed her back. "Alright, love you, have fun today." He told her as she told him goodbye before he walked out of the front door.

Harry was busy driving down the highway when all of a sudden his cell phone rang. "Hullo?" he questioned.
"Hey Harry it's me." Hermione began. "Listen Bill and Fleur are planning their second honeymoon and they were wondering if we would be able to watch Johnny for them." She explained.
"They're going on their second honeymoon already? It wasn't too long ago that they had their first one. I mean Johnny's only about a year old." He told her.
"I know, but I sort of told them that we would." She admitted as Harry hit the brakes and started slowing down before placing his foot back on the gas pedal.
"You what!?" he exclaimed.
"I'm sorry Harry but they needed our help, besides I know how much you love kids." She told him.
"Yeah but that doesn't mean that I want you to agree to something without consulting me first. Especially if I'm involved." He told her braking again and slowly turning off of the highway and onto the exit.
"Please Harry? It's only for a week." She told him as he breathed a heavy sigh and stopped again in front of the red light before hitting his turn signal and hitting the gas pedal again as the light turned green.
"Oh alright!" he exclaimed turning the wheel over to the left. "But please, next time into the future talk to me about it first." He told her.
"Alright I will. Bill's bringing Johnny over around lunchtime so he'll already be here when you get back." She told him as Harry quickly hit his brakes again at another red light.
"Alright then, talk you later goodbye." He told her.
"Goodbye." Hermione told him with a wide grin before she hung up and turned to face the others. "He said yes." She told them.
"Well that's good, considering that you already said yes for him." Ron said.
"Just as long as you all understand that I'm completely out of it. My diaper changing days are over." He told them.
"But what if you become a grandfather?" Hermione asked him.
"That's different. And that's miles and miles down the road from now." He told her with a wave of his hand before he turned around and walked away.
….
"Alright Johnny it's time to get you ready for supper." Hermione told him as he toddled over to her. She smiled down at him and hoisted him up inside her arms before placing him back inside his highchair. Once dinner was ready and the table was all set they all sat down and grabbed ahold of each other's hands before closing their eyes and bowing their heads.
"Come Lord Jesus be our guest and let these gifts to us be blest amen." They prayed as Hermione finished tying a blue bib around Johnny's neck before trying to spoon feed him some macaroni and cheese.
"Look Johnny, I've got something really yummy for you." She told him but the baby started to cry and knocked his bowl onto the floor. Angel hurried over to it and started lapping it up with her tongue as the baby continued to cry.
"You're supposed to put ketchup on it first." Harry told her before he stood up and walked over to the highchair and removed Johnny out of it. "Shh,.." he whispered as he started bouncing him up and down by his hip trying to calm him down while he started sucking on his knuckle. "Are you teething again, is that the problem?" he asked him.
"Huh?" he questioned him brushing his tears away. "What do you say that we'll go get your bottle all heated up and get you another bowl of macaroni huh? How does that sound?" he wondered as Johnny smiled at him through his tears while Harry continued to bounce him.
"Baba." He said as Harry smiled at him and kissed the top of his head. "I thought so, c'mon." he told him as he kissed him again and started carrying him away.
"I can't get over how good you are with babies Harry." Hermione told him.
"Thanks." He said while he started heating Johnny's bottle up with one hand while adjusting his grip with the other hand. As soon as his bottle was ready he carried him back into the living room and sat him down on top of his lap. "Here you go Johnny, here's your baba." He told him as he gave it to him and watched him start sucking on it. He smiled down at him while placing another soft kiss on the top of his head.
