Chapter 4: Impossible
It's impossible
It's impossible to love you
If you don't let me know what you're feeling
It's impossible for me to give you what you need
If you're always hiding from me
"Impossible" by Christina Aguilera
There was an explosion of green smoke from the fireplace and Molly Weasley heard the familiar pop from the kitchen. She rushed madly into the living room, hoping to see exactly who was standing there.
"Virginia! We've been so worried!" Molly grabbed her daughter up quickly, enveloping her in a bear hug that likely killed Ginny.
"Calm down, Mom. Everything's fine…" Ginny could barely breathe and hoped her mother wasn't hurting the baby. She managed to escape her mothers' death grip and look around the very unusually vacant room.
"Mum, where is everyone?" Ginny asked curiously.
"Everyone's outside watching and playing Quidditch. Waiting for the family picnic to begin," Molly laughed as the same pop reoccurred and the man with unruly black hair and lopsided glasses appeared.
"Harry!" Molly hugged her son-in-law in the same manner she had Ginny and hurriedly took the luggage from his hands.
"Hello, Mum," Harry started. He sent Ginny a charming smile and grabbed her hand, following his mother-in-law into the kitchen.
"You kids go on outside now, join the rest of the family. I'm sure they'll be just as happy to see you alive, Virginia." Molly put the luggage down by the door and began to finish preparing the meal.
Harry led Ginny outside onto the huge wooden patio where there were there were thirteen Weasleys' sitting, their back facing where Ginny and Harry had just entered.
"Go, Fred, Go!" Angelina yelled as Fred smacked a bludger hard toward his brother.
"George, Watch out!" Katie freaked out as a the large, heavy ball hurdled towards her husband.
Harry let out a laugh and Percy turned around to see who it was.
"Harry! Virginia!" Percy said excitedly, hurriedly leaving his seat to embrace his only sister and brother-in-law.
After that, Harry and Ginny's names were echoed throughout the whole backyard as everyone grounded from the game and hugged Ginny and Harry tightly one at a time.
"It's great to see you back, Gin," Everyone remarked.
The welcome home was interrupted as Molly Weasley made her way towards the crowd and ordered Bill and Charlie to set out the picnic blankets.
"Here's the food!" Molly magiced the baskets full of food onto everyone families' blanket.
Percy and Penelope with their four children Elizabeth, Emily, P.J., and Penny sat on their own large blanket; Charlie and Amelia with Oliver and Rachel sat with Fred and Angelina, and their kids, Fred, Marinda, Katherine; Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Harry, and James sat together; Of course Bill and Fleur had to have their seven children with them: Alura, Aurora, Zenith, Catrina, Cilia, Ben, and Cal; George and Katie were with their three Christopher, Jonathan, Matthew and Molly and Arthur.
"Well, Ginny, what was wrong?" Fred asked curiously after everyone stuffed their mouth full of the hot steaming food in the basket before them.
Ginny looked at Harry quickly for approval. He nodded, smiling.
"I'm pregnant," Ginny said loud and clear, exuberant.
"What?" Everyone exclaimed in unity.
Ginny and Harry nodded to reassure everyone and everyone immediately stood and gave Ginny hugs and Harry handshakes.
Little James tugged on his father's pants eagerly.
"Yes, James?" Harry said scooping the young boy up into his strong arms.
"Does this mean I'm going to have a little brother or sister?" James' eyes got bigger as his excitement grew.
Harry flashed his son a large smile. "Yes, it does. Aren't you excited?"
James nodded furiously and smiled back at his father.
After the excitement of the news had died down, everyone was having quiet conversation while munching on the last little bits of food.
"Yes, I hope it's a girl," Ginny said quietly as she discussed the new baby with Angelina and Katie.
Harry wasn't paying much attention as he watched Ron try to stroke Hermione's hair back. Hermione flinched trying to get away from Ron's hand. Harry found this behavior odd, he continued watching.
"Hermione," Ron was going to say something but Hermione turned away quickly, and pretended to watch all the children playing tag at the other end of the yard.
"Hermione, you're going to have to say something to me eventually," Ron started but Hermione cut him short.
Harry nudged Ginny quickly, trying to get her to witness the scene between their two best friends, but Ginny was too deeply engrossed in her conversation with Katie and Angelina, she just shrugged her husband's hand off.
"Ron, leave it alone." Hermione knocked the hand he had outstretched to play with her hair with and walked into the house at a quick pace.
Ron looked around for a minute before following her into the house.
To Harry's luck, no one noticed as he, too, followed close behind them.
