Chapter 3: The next morning
The next morning Harry and Ginny woke up more in love then they had ever been. This is what happened to them every time they made love to each other. Harry stretched, the kids weren't up just yet. Harry kissed his bride of 4 years to wake her up. She did with a smile on her face. They were just leaning into each other when the door burst open and two kids came bouncing on the bed. Everyone laughed.
"Well, I was wondering when you two were going to get up, you decided to let us sleep in this morning did you?" Harry said and held his daughter up.
"Grandma Lily and Grandpa James told us we should wait a few minute and let you sleep just a little bit longer." Lily smiled at her mum and dad.
"I think those two are a bit of a busy body this morning. Let us up so we can get dressed then I'll make breakfast all right you two?" They both nodded and got up went into the living room and started playing.
Harry and Ginny kissed once then got up and started to dress. They both heard heard Lily and James yell "PAPA PADFOOT" Harry and Ginny looked at each other and smiled and shook their heads. Sirius was always an early riser. Today would be no exception to that rule.
Hey guys, where's mama and papa this morning?" Ginny and Harry could hear everything they knew he was there so the kids would be fine, not to mention that Ghost Lily and James were in there playing with the kids already.
"They are gettin' dress papa Padfoot, they will be out in a minute." Just then Harry came walking out and sitting on the couch to put on his shoes, he had practice again today but not until 10 that morning, it was only 8 so he had some time to kill.
"Hey Sirius, what's up? A bit early this morning aren't you?" Harry asked.
"Nothin' much just wanted to play with my favorite kids on the planet before heading out to watch you play Quidditch."
"Daddddyyy" Started James and Lily.
"Ask Padfoot, if he will watch you, you can come. I won't have time to watch you guys, I have the big game in two days." Four eyes started to burn a hole in Sirius' head.
"Yes, I'll watch them, are Robin and Billy coming too?" Sirius asked.
"No, Hermione is saying home today." Ginny said as she walked up behind Harry and wrapped her arms around his back and kissed the back of his shoulder. Harry grabbed her wrists and squeezed them as she hugged him.
"Now what time are the twins getting here?" Sirius asked.
"In about an hour Sirius, it's still early yet, they more then likely aren't even up yet." Ginny said. "Good, that gives me time to play with the kids." Sirius said and sat down on the floor to play with James and Lily.
The next hour passed quickly with a lot of idle chit chat nothing major at all. Unknown to everyone was that something was still watching Harry. This something that was watching was still getting happier with each thought Harry had.
The twins showed up just as they were supposed to and ate breakfast When they were done Harry, Fred, George, Sirius and James and Lily all flooed to the Quidditch pitch floo point. It was about 10 yards off of the main entrance to the building just outside the pitch itself. Sirius took the kids to the stands while Harry and the Weasley twins went and changed into their practice robes.
James and Lily were thrilled with being at Harry practice. They loved to be there. They were not disappointed at all. They were in fact practicing hard for the game on Saturday. They had pulled in the reserve team and were playing hard against each other. Harry was still the first to get the snitch. he really didn't understand why he had to practice so hard. But he did anyway. Before practice was over Harry caught the snitch three times. He had been spending most of his practices perfecting the Wronski Feint. He had it just about perfect by now with all the practice he had had. Four hours later Harry, the Weasley twins and Sirius and the kids all headed back to Godric's Hollow.
When they got there Ginny was positively happier then she had been in the last 4 years, Harry looked at her, it almost reminded him of when she told him she was pregnant with the twins. After everyone was welcomed home, Ginny pulled Harry off to one of the three sitting rooms on the first floor. She pushed him down onto the couch and started walking around in front of him. Harry watched.
"Ginny something is going on, you know what it is, so tell me." Harry said, he wasn;t mad but he was impatient about it. Ginny sensed this and sat on his lap startling him. One knee was on each side of Harry's hips and she was nose to nose with him. She kissed him gently on the lips and pulled him into a hug and whispered in his ear.
"Harry, I'm pregnant. I love you!" Ginny said and pulled away from Harry. She looked in his eyes. He was happy and shocked all at the same time.
Harry put his hand on her tummy and rubbed lightly. "Your sure? You really are?" Harry asked not sure if he really believed it. Ginny nodded and kissed his forehead.
"Yes, I'm sure, I ran the spell today and it confirmed I am pregnant, but Harry, there is something else I need to tell you." Ginny had turned serious for a minute. Harry was worried, she had gotten like this when she got to the point of telling him it was twins.
"Ginny, is it twins again? If it is we will get through it fine and have happy healthy kids." Harry said trying to reassure her.
"Harry, I am not pregnant with twin. Twins would be easier." Harry's heart sank, he was truly scared about what she was going to say. She saw the look in his eyes. "Harry everything is alright, I think, physically everyone is healthy, it's just a little bit of a shock as to how many I am carrying." Harry gulped and wasn't sure just what he was going to be told. He closed his eyes and braced himself.
"How many?" He whispered with his hand still on Ginny's tummy. Ginny closed her eyes as well and took a deep breath.
"Harry, there are 4, I am having quadruplets." Ginny rested her head on Harry's shoulder.
"Well, I guess this means only one thing for us then. This means I need to get used to your mother over the next couple of years since she and dad will be moving in here to help out with all these kids we have." He hugged Ginny. "Are you sure your all right, are you tired, do you need to lay down? Ginny Why don't you lay down and rest. I'll make dinner. What would you like for Dinner? Anything you want is yours."
"Harry, I feel fine honestly." Ginny protested.
"Virginia Weasley-Snape, you WILL rest if I have anything to say about it, it's bad enough I will not be here the next couple of days due to practice and the world cup. When I am here you WILL rest. You will let me pamper you as you should be carrying my children. You will not over exert yourself while I am here and you won't when I'm not here either." Harry said firmly but not an ounce of anger in it. He kissed his wife. "Please let me spoil you, this pregnancy will be hard enough without any complication, and the more rested you are the better off all five of you will be. Five, of you, can you imagine four babies at once, how on earth did we manage that?" Harry was no moving into the shocked stage. Harry put his hands on Ginny's ear's and yelled "Sirius, I need some REALLY strong tea please."
Sirius came in and Ginny was still sitting on Harry's lap. Harry was white as a ghost. Ghost James and Lily came in. They looked at him curiously. They hadn't been there when Ginny told Harry she was pregnant last time.
"Harry, what is it what's wrong?" Sirius asked.
"Sirius, see if my father is in his rooms, he has Thursday afternoons off, I need to speak with him as well, as soon as we get him here then we will tell you what's going on . Please?" Harry looked at his godfather pleadingly.
"All right hang on." Sirius threw a little of the floo powder into the fireplace and said "Severus Snape" at the fire and then Severus head popped into the fire. "Severus, something is going on and Harry said he won't talk unless your here too. He is white as a ghost as well too, I think you need to get here."
"Very well, step aside I'm coming through." Severus came the rest of the way into the fireplace with a pop. Severus looked at Harry and Ginny, something was definitely going on. "Harry Ginny what is it, is everything alright?" Severus ran over to them a hand on each of their backs.
"Dad, you may need to sit down. Sirius, you too. Mum, James you need to prepare yourself for a shocking bit of news." Harry waited until everyone was sitting. Harry took a deep breath "Ginny is pregnant." He blurted out while looking into his wife's eyes. "That's not all though" Everyones hearts sank, something was wrong, they could hear it in his voice. "Ginny is pregnant with four babies." Everyone gasped. "Fred and George?" Yelled Harry, they were playing with the kids. They bounded into the room then stopped cold in their tracks when they saw everyone white as ghosts. "Get your mother here now please. Everything will be fine, but we need her immediately please." The twins nodded and Fred Flooed to the burrow. Molly and Fred were back in a matter of minutes.
No one had said a word, everyone was still in shock. "Mum sit down" Harry said. He looked at her, he had tear in his eyes, but looking in his eyes she could see no sadness or pain.
"Ginny Harry what's going on, you tell me this instant." Molly demanded.
"Mum," Ginny started. "I'm pregnant." Molly screamed with delight.
"Mum," Harry started again. "That's not it mum, she's pregnant with quadruplets." Harry said Molly's eyes teared up. She was thrilled.
"Then I am moving in to help. Ginny you need to lay down and rest dear. Harry, will you go and make dinner please?" Harry smiled and shook his head. "What Harry, what is that look for?"
"Nothing mum, I just thought you'd say that. What would you like for dinner?" Harry said with a smile on his face he really did love his mother- in-law, even if she was a little over protective of Ginny.
