"Gin, you ok?" Harry asked,seeing her holding her stomach with an expression of pure surprise on her face.
He kneeled by her feet and looked her face, she smiled and he sighed in relief.
"I think it just kicked"
"Really?"
"Yeah.Wanna feel?"
"Huh...."
"Give me your hand" she took his hands and placed them so they were palms flat on her stomach.He smiled when he felt the baby kicking, but a thought entered his head.He remembered he wasn't the father of her child, and he took off his hands to sit besides Ginny on the couch.
"Gin, we have to talk."
"About what?"
"Who's the father?"
"A one night stand guy"Ginny lied.
"Gin?Tell me the truth, I know you."
"Its no one's, okay?" said Ginny, as she got up from the couch, clearly angry.
"I don't wanna talk about it more"
"So you're gonna raise this baby by yourself?"
"Yeah.I'm a big girl, I can take care of my baby."
"But I'm sure if you tell him he's gonna be a father, this guy will come back and stay with you."
"No, Harry, he's in love with someone else, not me"
"Ginny, who cannot love you?You're smart, cute, you have a great smile, and right now you're beautiful, you're glowing"His mind cliked as he realised something.
"Well he doesn't, ok?"
"Glowing, Gin, you were pregnant at the try out at the bridal shop,weren't you?"
"Yeah"
"OMG Why didn't I see this before?I even told you you were glowing, that you were more womenly,with beautiful curves.What a jerk!! I didn't even realised you were pregnant.I'm doing an excellent job as your best friend aren't I?"
Ginny blinked back tears as she listened to him, she thought he realised he was the father of her baby, but he was more dense that she thought.
"Listen Gin, you know I'll be with you every step of the way,ok?I'll even come with you at the lamaze classes, and the doctor appointments."
"Harry you don't have to, just go back to Julianne and your life, I'm fine.I've got Hermione.In fact, I'm better than fine, I am great." Ginny said with a small smile.
Harry just looked in her eyes, and kissed her but Ginny pushed him away.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm kissing you" he said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Why?"
"Because, Gin, I love you.I just can't sit back anymore and see you as my best friend, without taking you in my arms and kissing you senseless."
"Harry, don't.I don't want to hurt like last time"
"Gin, it won't be like last time, I love you.I wanna be with you.I pushed you away because I was scared of my feelings, scared that I would loose you if it didn't work out between us.But now I know that there isn't anyone more perfect for me, as you."
"What about Julianne?What about she's the one for you?she's your soulmate and everything?"
"I lied Gin, I lied because I wanted you to react, to yell that you loved me and wanted to be with me.But when you didn't, it hurt me and I thought "Well maybe she isn't in love with me finally"But now I know that I do and I'll fight for you, I just hope you love me too"
"Harry, when you pushed me away it hurt, really.But then the baby came along, and I just focused on my pregnancy, I avoided you as much as I could, because my love for you wouldn't vanish.I love you, so so much."
Harry just smiled and took Ginny in his arms, kissing her until they were both out of breath.
"Gin, Will you marry me.I love you more than anything in the whole world"
"Yes, but on one condition"
"Everything, just name it, and I'll do anything for you"
"Never tell me that you love me, just show it."
Harry whispered "okay, I'll show you" in her ear, then took her in his arms, and layed her down on the couch,
"Now sleep, tomorrow's a new day"he whispered.She just smiled and nodded,falling asleep.
That night Harry and Ginny shared the couch, and Ginny slept peacefully for the first time in 4 months.
The next morning, Ginny woke up with the sound of ruffling from the kitchen.She got up and entered the room where Harry was cooking breakfast, composed with waffles and cookies.
"Morning" he smiled as he saw he enter.
"Morning" she smiled back as she sat and helped herself.
He went over to her and kissed her tenderly, making her smile as he refused to break the kiss.
"So, Harry what are you gonna do about the wedding?" she asked.
"Just come with me after breakfast and you'll see." he winked.
He caressed lovingly her stomach and sighted softly.
"I'm so happy, we'll be a family soon.Even if this baby is not mine, I'll be her daddy.And maybe we could give her some siblings later?"
"Sure" lied Ginny, preferig not to say more.She still haven't told him about the baby being his.
Later, Ginny and Harry took a portkey for Harry's house and immediately, Hermione spotted them holding hands.She smiled widely and jumped into Harry's arms
"I knew you would come to your senses, Harry"
"What are you going to do about the wedding?" asked Molly
"Well I was on my way to talk to the "bride"" Harry excused himself, then kissed Ginny, before going over to the bridal room.
"Jules?Harry called as he entered the room.
"Yeah?"Julianne was a beautiful women, she was a tall raven haired girl with big chocolate eyes with a warm smile."What are you doing here, love?The groom shouldn't see the bride before the wedding"
"Jules, come with me for a walk?"He offered his arm.
She smiled and took his arm, following him in the garden.
"Jules, we have to talk.See, last night I've done some thinking, and well I just came to a conclusion about my feelings.You know that I love you, but I love you like my friend.And I think you love me the same way.Of course between friends a wedding is preposterous.And I found my real love."
"I know.It's Ginny, isn't it?I saw you when you see her it's like your face is illuminated.Your right, it's been a long time and I really think our love feelings are gone and only friendship is left between us."
"We're ok, then?"
"Yeah We're ok."
"Good,"Harry kissed her on the cheek and squeezed her hand, smiling softly at her.
Harry ran to Ginny and put his arms around her from behind, startling her.
"Hey" he called in her ear.
"Hey" she smiled as she put her head on his shoulder.
They kissed sweetly and Harry took her hand,"Ready to go home?" he winked at her.
She nodded and they walked out of the house, eyes widened as they spotted a brand new couple kissing on the street, Julianne was in the arms of a blonde guy they both knew well.
Haryr couldn't believe that her ex-fiancée was kissing Draco Malfoy! But he had to admit that they formed a cute couple.Since Draco helped arresting his father Lucius, he became an auror and often worked with Harry.
Later, Harry and Ginny were laying in her bed, in each other's arms.
"I missed you" whispered Ginny."I missed you, too" he whispered back.
Harry looked at her, and smiled softly,
"You've never been more beautiful than right now."
This made her blush, and it seemed that she had more freckles than before.
He kissed her tenderly, and kissed the top of her head.
"You look like a lioness, I never seen you looking like that, not even when we-you know-.When was it?5- 6 months?it seems like eternity."
"Yeah it seemed like eternity to me too."she lied.
"Good night, baby"He kissed her once more.
"Good night, love" she said before they falled asleep together, imagining their future life together.
