A/n: Ok well I hope you guys liked chapter 13. I was just off the top of my head and I usually don't work that way. I have a note book that I write my chapters down in, and when I type them I add stuff, and change stuff. Ok so here is chapter 14. It's the original 13 & 14 combined!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. If I did I'd be filthy rich, but considering I only have about $755 in the bank, apparently I do not own him. Although I can still dream, can't I?

Dedicated to: JillyWillyBean. (I doubt she reads this but its still nice.) I got my line about the knickers from last chapter from her fic, and I thought she needed proper recognition.
Title: Confessions
They continued small displays off affection here and there, or the next few weeks. Eventually the entire school found out. Harry even swore he saw Dumbledore give them a wink as he passed them in that hall hand in hand. But still at the same time both felt very sad, that they thought the other was only faking affection.
For the last few days, however he had been thinking, what the hell am I doing? Am I ready to be a father? He was getting very sick of fighting with himself.
Ginny seemed happy, thought. For all she had been through she held her head high, as she had before, but now with Harry by her side, she felt even better. She had mentioned there 'relationship' casually in a letter home and Mrs. Weasley was ecstatic, and according to her so was Mr. Weasley. She hadn't told them she was pregnant, as was the plan.
Harry felt very bad about the fact that Ginny might not feel the same way, but he kept it up because he loved being in her presents, it made everything seem ok. No matter what.
Then it hit him. In the middle of teaching the 3rd years that wolfs bane has no effect on Werewolves what so ever. He was thinking about Ginny, (which had nothing to do with Werewolves) and where he should ask her to dinner the next evening. He loved her. He not only liked her but he loved her. He couldn't imagine life without her now. And he had to tell her and soon. That's why he had wanted to help he so badly. He hadn't known it, at the time. That's why it felt so good to be around her. Tonight at dinner, he thought to himself as the bell to end classes rang.
He was about to go find Ginny to invite her out to dinner when an owl swooped down and dropped a note on the desk.
Harry, get ter St. Mungo's! Olympe havin' the baby!
Hagrid.
Harry was in St. Mungo's before you could say Hogwarts. He asked the Healer at the desk where he could find Hagrid and Olympe. She told him they were still in the delivery room, but the others were waiting in the recovery room.
Harry found his way to the room the lady Healer had directed him to, and found Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Draco, Evalynn, and Dumbledore waiting in the room. When he entered he was greeted by everyone.
They waited, and waited, for close to two hours. Dumbledore took his funny watch out of the inside pocket of his robes.
"I'm terribly sorry everyone, but I must be off. Tell Hagrid I'm sorry and my best wishes. I'll come see them later, would you Draco?" He asked looking rather disappointed.
"Sure thing!" Draco replied.
With a small pop Dumbledore disapperated.
Suddenly the door was flung open and a towering Hagrid came pushing Olympe in a wheelchair to the oversized bed.
"It's a girl!" He exclaimed, as a he helped his wife into bed, taking the bundle of pink blankets from her.
"I'd like to introduce you all ter Kyria Annabelle Hagrid." He said beaming.
Everyone took turns holding Kyria and when it was Harry's turn to hold her he was scared out of is mind. Ginny stepped closer to him.
"Harry." She said quietly. "What if I'm not a good mother?" He could tell she wanted an answer.
To stall he played 'coo-chi-coo with Kyria. Which Ginny thought was adorable "Ginny. You'll be great. After all you learnt from the best didn't you?" He said tucking some loose hair behind her ear. "Can I hold her now?" she asked fearfully.
He handed Kyria over to her. Immediately Kyria looked at home. She placed her head on Ginny's breast and Harry suddenly found himself wondering if they were as soft as they looked. He shook himself back to reality and excused himself to the loo.
When he arrived in the loo he splashed water on his face. Come on Harry snap out of it. You're ganna go nutters if you don't tell her soon. He stood there thinking for a short while when I realized what he had to do.
Harry arrived back at the room and everyone was saying there goodbyes to the new parents.
As they were leaving, Harry walked up beside Ginny, "Could I interest a certain young lady in dinner, here in London?" He asked slipping his hand into hers.
"If that certain young lady happens to be me, then yes. If not, kindly remove your hand from mine." She joked.
They entered a small restaurant down the street from St. Mungo's. They were immediately seated, and ordered. Harry had insisted that they sit on the deck even though the sun was beginning to set (which was one of the reasons why).
"This is beautiful." Ginny said looking up at the stars that were starting to show in the pinkish/purple sky.
Then they both spoke at the exact same time. Harry said, "Ginny, I gotta tell you something." And Ginny said "Harry, I gatta tell you something."
"You first Harry." She said with a nervous laugh.
"No, no. Ladies first." He said in the same nervous tone. This was it.
"Ok, well.." She started. "Well I've been thinking. You know, about the future. And I don't know how this 'being together' thing is ganna work after my baby's born." She said suddenly interested in the patters on the cutlery. "We can't keep this up forever, Harry. You have to live your life. We have to stage a kind of break up." She said rather sadly.
"No we don't." Harry protested.
"Yes, Harry. We do. You have to live you life, there is someone out there you really truly love and you need to find her rather than trying to help me."
"But Ginny, I've already found her." He said holding back a grin.
"See Harry, you'll…" But she didn't get a chance to finish because Harry had leaned over the table and kissed her.
"Ginny its you. I love you. I realize now that I have all year." He said sitting back down, and smiling.
Ginny was in shock. Had she heard right? He loved her? She sat there quite for a while until a lone tear rolled down her cheek.
"You don't have to love me back, Gin. It's ok. I just had to get it off my chest." He said as he cursed himself. This was not going well.
"Harry…I…I…love you too." She said sniffing.
"Then why are you crying?" He asked, putting his hand on hers on the table.
"Because Harry, no one has ever told me they loved me before. Other than family, but that doesn't count."
"Well that amazes me. You, Virginia Marie Weasley are beautiful, smart, funny, strong, and pretty goddamn sexy when you look at me like that." He said with passion.
Ginny was laughing now. It was surreal to her. Her dream had come true.
Then the waitress brought them there food.

A/n: wowies! I'm feeling Muy genorosa (very generous, in Spanish) this week. Two chapters! I hope you like them. So anyway…I think I had them admit there love kinda soon, but I didn't wanna deal with all the mushy gushy crap that would be in the middle, sorry if you wanted that. Also REVIEW! One of the reasons I usually don't do two so close together is because people don't review. (and extra happy bonus points aka: dedications to those who review both!)
