A/N: Don't kill me! *ducks behind a chair* I know it's been forever, but I've had writers block and so on. You have no idea how much I've missed all of you. I hope you all had a Happy Christmas! I know I did. I got the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD, for Christmas! If you haven't seen that movie, I am telling you, you are missing out big time! It's the best movie in the world! Anyway Happy New Year one day late! I was going to post yesterday, but my little brother had the computer everytime I thought about it, and as you can imagine yesterday was hectic what with being the first day of 2004. I watched 'On the Road with American Idol'. It was so good. I love Clay Aiken, he is and always will be my favorite. Oh man you should have seen some of these fans! This one girl started sobbing because she saw Clay Aiken, this woman tatooed his name on her back, and all these girls were throwing underwear on the stage at him. Then I watched the results show of World Idol. Kelly Clarkson didn't win, but she came a close second to the guy from Norway who did win. Anyway I need to stop talking before this A/N becomes longer than the chapter itself! Thanx to:

Chapter 2: A Shocking Revelation
Harry's mind must have been clouded, because instead of Apparting directly into his house he ended up on the lawn. He found himself looking up at the massive building. Harry tried to be modest when it came to talking about his job or wealth, but there was no point in denying that he and Ginny were a bit better than 'well off.' (A/N: In other words—they're filthy rich!)
The lawn of Potter Manor, the media's appointed name, stretched out and swung around to an enormous backyard. The house resembled a castle, with slightly smaller proportions. Harry had to admit that it certainly was a few steps up from Number 4 Privet Drive.
Harry quickly pulled himself out of his rambling state mind, and sprinted up to the front door. Within seconds he was inside. He was welcomed by the delicious smell of cooking. Only Ginny wasn't in the kitchen.
"Molly?" Harry asked, bewilderment dripping from his every syllable.
"Harry, dear!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed. She abandoned the frying pan on the stove and wrapped Harry into a warm hug.
"Hello Molly," he said after she had let him breathe. "Where's Ginny?"
Molly smiled. "Well she told me that she wasn't feeling all that well, and I offered to give her a hand."
Harry stared at her, his brain moving slowly underneath his worry.
"But where is she Molly?" Harry asked in panic.
"Oh, yes. Well, she went to St. Mungo's. She sent me an owl asking for my help and the note for you. I'm sure she'll be home soo—"
But Harry had already turned towards the door. His mind was reeling. What could possibly be wrong with Ginny?
Just before he reached the door it opened and in stepped Ginny. She looked rather tired.
"Oh hello Harry!" she said discarding her former disposition. "I didn't expect you to be home."
Harry stared at her blankly. "You told me to come home! What's the matter? Are you sick? Is it serious? Do you--"
"Harry! Calm down! I—" She stopped and turned to look at her mother, who was staring at them in bewilderment. "Hi Mum." She walked over to give Mrs. Weasley a hug. While she was hugging her, Harry heard he mutter, "Could you give Harry and me a moment alone, please?"
Mrs. Weasley looked at her daughter in confusion and then suddenly her eyes widened. Harry saw them become moist as she pulled Ginny in for another hug and left the room, sniffing loudly.
Ginny turned back to Harry who was absolutely terrified.
"Harry, perhaps you should sit down," she said easing him into an armchair.
It was more of the horror that Ginny was about to tell him something horrible than her request that made Harry sit down.
Ginny stood in front of him and he noticed she was trembling slightly.
"Well," she said wringing her hands. "Today I wasn't feeling too well, so I decided to go visit a Healer. I thought maybe they could tell me what was wrong." She sat down next to Harry and took his hand in hers. "Harry I—"
"You have Ickititis!" Harry exclaimed, jumping up from the armchair.
"What?" Ginny asked in curiosity.
"Ickitits! Luna said it was this horrible disease, and it can be fatal and, and—"
"Harry!" Ginny jumped up as well. "Back up for a minute. What the heck is Icki-whosi-whatis?"
"I told you it's a disease! Ginny I can't bear this! Luna said it can be—"
"Wait! When did you talk to Luna?"
"Today and work! But she said—"
"Why was Luna in your department?"
"I'm training her! It's my new assignment!"
"Luna?"
"Yes!" Harry shouted in anguish. "And she said that you had Ickititis!"
"Harry," Ginny said obviously frustrated. "I do not have Ickititis! I'm—"
"Hello!"
Harry and Ginny turned around to see Ron and Hermione. Apparently they had just Apparated into the house. The smiles that had been plastered on their faces soon slid off at the sight before them.
"Er…" said Hermione. "Is this a bad time?"
"Well actually—" Ginny began, but she was cut off by Harry.
"Ginny's ill," he said feverishly. (A/N: Ha, ill and feverishly! Get it? Uh…ok…)
"You're ill?" Ron said in obvious concern.
"No! I'm not ill! I—" Ginny started.
"She has Ickititis," Harry interrupted.
"Icki—what?" Hermione asked confused.
"Ickititis," Harry repeated. This whole thing was getting rather frustrating. Why wouldn't anyone listen to him?
"What's Ickititis?" Ron asked.
"You should know that!" Harry snapped.
"Wait! Who said Ickititis?" Hermione cried in perplexity.
"Luna said Ginny had—" Harry began.
"Luna Lovegood?" Ron interjected.
"Yes!" Harry shouted. He was getting tired of explaining this.
"If everyone would just calm down, I—" Ginny said, in a desperate attempt to take floor, but everyone ignored her.
"When did you talk to Luna Lovegood?" Hermione asked.
"At the Ministry!"
"Why was she at the Ministry?" Ron said in pure interest.
"She's my new—Ugh! That doesn't matter! The point is she said Ginny had Ickititis!"
"Harry, you know perfectly well that Luna believes in very—ah—different things," Hermione said tranquilly.
"But Ginny shows all the symptoms!" Harry said loudly. His frustration and worry were colliding into what was making a rather messy emotion.
"Symptoms?" Ron inquired.
"Yes Ron! Would you shut up for on second?" Harry bellowed.
"Oh! Well sorry for being such a nuisance!" Ron retorted sarcastically. "I just wanted to know what's wrong with my sister!"
"Well she's my wife!" Harry yelled back at him, feeling as though his insides were being squeezed in a vice.
"So?" Ron spat.
"I'm not going to be anyone's anything if you all don't shut up for one moment!" Ginny shrieked.
At this time Mrs. Weasley has abandoned the kitchen to join the raging war in the family room.
"Ginny you really shouldn't be yelling in your current condition," Harry said, dropping his voice to a low octave.
"My condition?" she fumed.
"What in the name of Merlin is going on?" Mrs. Weasley asked, plainly confused.
"Apparently Ginny is ill," Hermione said tiredly.
"Ill?" Mrs. Weasley said her original confusion turning into utter bewilderment.
"No I'm not!" Ginny cried.
"Then would you kindly tell us what is going on, because I for one have had enough of this nonsense!" Hermione said, exasperated.
If looks could kill Ginny would have been short two family members, a husband, and a best friend, because at that moment she glared daggers at each of them.
"I've been trying," she said in a deadly voice.
"What's to try to do?" Mrs. Weasley asked practically beside herself with incomprehension.
Ginny let loose a string of swear words that made everyone in the area jump.
"Ginny!" Mrs. Weasley declared. "There is no need for that kind of language—"
"I'M PREGNANT!" Ginny shouted so loudly that Harry wouldn't have been surprised if people five blocks away heard her.
The silence that followed this outburst was lethal. Everyone stared at Ginny as if trying to make sure their ears hadn't deceived them. After a full minute of this stunned silence the audience began to speak.
"That's wonderful!" Hermione said gathering her friend into a hug.
"You're…pregnant?" Ron said slowly. It was evident that his mind did not want to handle that information.
"Well of course she is!" Mrs. Weasley still puzzled. "What else could it have been?"
"Apparently a lot of things," Hermione said with a nod. This statement made Ginny, who seemed to have brightened up a bit, laugh.
"Well it's wonderful news at any rate," Mrs. Weasley said bustling back into the kitchen.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten Harry, who was standing in the middle of the room staring at his wife feeling rather dizzy.
"Harry?"
Harry snapped his head in the direction of the voice and his eyes fell on Ginny's face. She was looking rather concerned. "Are you alright?"
Harry continued to stare his mind reeling. Ginny was pregnant? What was going to happen now?
"Harry?" Ginny tried again to get his attention. "Is this okay? I mean…well…"
Harry stared into her brown eyes. (A/N: It never says what color Ginny's eyes are, but in most references they're brown, so there you go!) They were filled with worry and puzzlement. But deep in the back of them, where no one who hadn't studied them for long enough would see, there was the tiniest glimmer of sadness. It was that that possessed Harry to grasp Ginny into a hug and hold her for what seemed like an eternity.
When he finally did draw back from her he was grinning like a mad man. "Is this okay?" he repeated back to her. "It's more than okay, it's fantastic!" He then swept her up in another hug, laughing. He captured her lips in a kiss and let go of her again.
Ginny's eyes were glistening with happiness. "Oh thank God."
"What did you think I was going to do?" he asked her softly, his hand cupping her face.
Ginny smirked shyly. "I don't know. I'm just glad you're happy."
"Ginny," Harry said stroking her cheek with his fingers. "I love you more than anything in the world. I would never be upset about something like this. This is our kid how could I be?"
Ginny grinned and leaned in to kiss him. Harry was surprised to feel the same electricity flow through him as it had when they had first kissed under the mistletoe, nearly four years ago.
"Hem hem."
Harry jumped when he noticed Ron and Hermione were still standing in the room. They were both smirking.
"As much as I hate to break this tender moment," Ron said but he never got to finish because the room erupted into laughter.
****************************************************************************************************************
Within the hour every member of the Weasley's immediate family, plus some of the closer friends, had heard the news. A non-stop stream of people popped in and out of Potter Manor for an hour afterwards. They were wishing Harry and Ginny the best of luck, giving heartfelt congratulations, and hugs and kisses.
"You're going to be a dad, Harry!" Mr. Weasley had said giving Harry an extra hard thump on the back.
After the activity had stopped and all the Weasleys had gone home, and Hermione had gone back to her flat, Harry collapsed on the couch. Ginny sat down next to him and rested her head on his shoulder.
"It's a tad unnerving isn't it?" she whispered.
Harry nodded. He was deep in thought. Mr. Weasley was right. He was going to be a dad. Harry felt his stomach lurch at the reminder of it. What if the baby didn't like him? What if he was a horrible father? Ginny seemed to sense his fears and squeezed his hand reassuringly.
"Don't worry, Harry," she whispered. "I know it's a huge step, but we'll get through it together."
Harry nodded and smiled. He brought his and Ginny's interlocked hands up to his face and kissed her fingers.
"I didn't think I would have another adventure," Harry began, "After Voldemort had been defeated."
Ginny chuckled. "Although I don't you'll need to know curses and defense for this one."
Harry grinned. "Oh I don't know, Gin," he said in mock concern. "Kids can be pretty evil sometimes."
Ginny laughed and hit his shoulder playfully. She rested her head on Harry's shoulder again and closed her eyes.
Harry smiled as he watched his sleeping wife and soon he was asleep also.
A/N: Surprise! Actually it wasn't much of a surprise for most of you. I found it funny that half of you said they knew and wouldn't say so they wouldn't ruin it for anyone and the other half just spelled it out! I was laughing. I thought it would be funny to have it be so obvious so that the whole arguement was as funny as possible. I think it's hilarious when I know what's going on, but the characters are too dense to figure it out! LOL! Anyway the results of this week's poll are...9 people participated and 5 people said R/H and 4 people said H/G. I was surprised at how close the vote was. As for me, I think H/G will get together first, because Ron and Hermione are going to take their sweet time! Goodness I wish they would just figure it out! Anyway my New Years Resolution is to try and update more reularly. Fridays starting now! I'll do my best, and tune in next time! Hopefully next Friday unless I get writers block. Oh yes and the poll for this week is not Harry Potter related...IF YOU WATCHED AMERICAN IDOL WHO WERE YOU ROOTING FOR? CLAY AIKEN OR RUBEN STUDDARD? Give me your answer in your review! Later y'all!
