A/N: Yes! My writers block is finally gone! Here is the long awaited chapter 8. I don't really like the first half of the chapter. I reworte it at least 10 times. I know it is really boring, but just bear with me because this chapter is really important to the rest of the story. Enjoy! (although I don't think you will).

Chapter 8: A New Day

Friday morning dawned, clear and cool. It was early October after all, and even though they lived in San Francisco, California it was still early in the month.

The first rays of the morning sun warmed the two sleeping couples. Ron and Hermione stayed asleep, however, but Harry and Ginny woke. "Good morning, love," Ginny said, as she yawned and stretched. He sat up and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Morning," he replied. She got up off the bed and walked to the closet, where she pulled out a pair of her favorite jeans and a nice, white blouse. He joined her there and took out jeans and a Hawaiian print shirt.

"Where's my hair brush?" Ginny called from the night stand beside the bed.

"In the bathroom, I think," Harry replied, buttoning up his shirt.

"Right." She left the room in search of her hair brush.

Meanwhile, in Ron and Hermione's room, the sunlight woke them. "Morning, Ron," she said, sitting up, but using the sheet to cover herself.

"Morning, love," he replied, kissing her softly on the lips. Their kiss broke and he pushed the sheet off, so he could get out of the bed. Ron walked over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of jeans and a shirt from his closet.

"I'm going to go and take a nice hot shower," Hermione said, from the bed. She too threw the sheets off herself, and got up. She grabbed Ron's robe off of the closet door and left for her room. Sighing, he grabbed his hair brush off the dresser and combed his bright red hair, before leaving the room.

Ginny entered the bathroom and found what she was looking for on the sink counter. She pulled her hair into a ponytail and was just finishing applying some light makeup when Hermione walked in. "Morning, Hermione," Ginny said.

"Morning, Ginny," Hermione replied, "I was just coming to take a shower, but if you need the bathroom then I can wait."

"No, it's alright," she said, "I was just finishing up when you came in anyway." She left to go downstairs. Hermione set her clothes on the counter top, hung her towel over the shower door, turned on the water, dropped her robe and stepped into the warm rushing water.

Harry was the first one into the kitchen; he went to the fridge and pulled out the carton of eggs and some bacon. Turning the stove on he pulled out a couple of frying pans and began to cook.

Ron entered the kitchen smelling the bacon. "Umm, what's for breakfast?" He walked over to Harry and looked into the frying pans on the stove.

"You know what Ron?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow. "I don't believe you've ever cooked for us before."

Ron snorted, "You don't want me to cook for you, trust me."

Harry laughed, "You can' be that bad, can you?"

"Last time I cooked, I almost burnt the house down!" Both men laughed as Ginny walked in.

"Umm, its smells awful good in here, please say that you're the one cooking it dear," she said going over to Harry and hugging him form behind.

"Of course," he replied, flipping an egg. "Ok, it's almost ready. Where's Hermione?"

"In the shower," Ron and Ginny replied at the same time. Ron blushed and looked at his sister.

"How did you know that's where she is?" he asked.

"She came in the bathroom as I was leaving," she responded. And went over to the cupboard to get out four plates. She set them down at the table along with forks, knifes and cups. Harry brought the food to the table and Ron got the orange juice and milk from the fridge.

"Morning, everyone!" Hermione cheerfully said from the entrance to the kitchen. Ron looked up and smiled at her. She returned it, sitting down as the others returned the greeting. The others were just sitting down too, as the phone rang. "I'll get it!" Hermione grabbed to phone off the wall and answered it. "Hello?"

A woman at the other end politely said, "Hello, are you Mrs. Virginia Potter?"

"No, but she's right here."

"Can please talk to her?"

"Of course." Hermione called Ginny over to the phone and she picked it up.

"Hello?" Ginny said.

"Hello, Mrs. Potter," the woman said. "I'm calling from the Hospital that you had some tests done yesterday."

"Oh, did you get the results?"

"Yes, we did." The tone of the woman's voice changed at the moment. It went to a more sympathetic tone.

"Well? Can you tell me what you found?"

"Your white blood cell count is way below normal. We don't exactly know why that is."

"Why not?" the information that she was given didn't really concern Ginny for the simple reason that it sounded like something that could be cured easily.

"Well, there could be several reasons why. Although with the symptoms that you had our doctors believe it could be leukemia." At these words Ginny suddenly felt dizzy, without saying goodbye she hung the phone up, her eyes met Harry's just before she lost consciousness.

A/N: Sorry about the cliffhanger! But I won't take a long time to update. Anyway, please review and look for the next chapter. If it's not up tomorrow it'll be up within the next week.
