Birthday Surprises Chapter 37

Ginny and Harry stayed out by the lake talking for a long while, and Ron was getting thoroughly impatient.
"What's taking so long?" He demanded.
"I don't know, do I?" Hermione replied shortly.
"No. Sorry. I just..what are they doing?"
"They have a lot to talk about, don't you think?"
"Yeah, I suppose. C'mon, let's go and see my nephews and niece." Ron grinned, and Hermione plastered a grin to her face - now she really was the outsider.
"Yeah." She said, half-heartedly.
***
Ron saw Ginny and Harry from the window of Harry's room - they were hugging.
"'Mione, come and look at this." He said. Hermione's mouth curved into a smile as she watched them.
"That's so sweet." She mumbled.
"What's he doing?"
"They're talking." Hermione said. She watched as Ginny looked up into Harry's eyes, smiling a little. "She's not upset anymore."
"Well that's a good thing. I honestly don't know what I said to upset her so much. Honestly!"
"You expected her to be all happy and excited - she was scared." Hermione said.
"Harry took it all right though. He was happy."
"Harry had time to get used to the idea - he had been looking after them beforehand. Ginny hadn't been."
"I wonder what's going to happen now."
"I don't know."
***
Harry glanced up at the window and saw Ron and Hermione watching them. He bent his head to murmur in her ear. "We're being watched."
"By who?" Ginny asked, looking around.
"Ron and Hermione." Harry said, grinning. "Ron's probably checking that I'm not snogging you senseless or something."
"Oh, honestly. We have children together - you'd think he'd leave us alone."
"Yup. So, what do you want to do now then?"
"Go and see our children?"
"Sounds good to me."
"You never answered mum's question earlier - do you want to invite my brothers round to meet their nephews and niece?"
"Only if you want to - oh, yeah, and as long as you can guarantee that I'll still be in one piece when they leave."
"Well, seeing as neither of us had much to do with their making, I'd say you're pretty safe."
"Yeah. Ok then. Do you want to?"
"Yeah." Ginny said decisively. Harry grinned at her. "You do realise that you're stuck with us now? The Weasley's, I mean. You'll never get rid of us now."
"Wouldn't dream of it." Harry said, his eyes were dancing happily, and Ginny couldn't help but mirror his grin and wave up to Ron and Hermione.

Molly was still in the kitchen when Harry and Ginny walked in, laughing at something. "Their faces." Harry choked out. Ginny giggled.
"I thought Ron was about to explode!"
"Just as long as he explodes without too much mess." Harry replied. Molly cleared her throat, and both blushed slightly.
"Why did your brother look as if he was going to explode?"
"Because he was seen. He was spying on us, and we saw him." Ginny explained.
"By the way, mum, we've decided that it's a good idea to invite everyone over. We have some new members of the family to introduce."
"Oh darling." Molly said, pulling her into a large hug. "Are you sure you're ready for this?" She looked between Harry, who was smiling just a little, and Ginny, who was grinning.
"Yeah. I am." She said decisively. Molly nodded before walking away, sniffing loudly. "Are you all right mum?"
"All of my babies are all grown up." Molly said, pulling both Ginny and Harry into a hug.
