Before I forget: I own only what you don't recognize. ( Makenna,

Several Nights Later
"Now we want the two of you to go. to. bed." Ginny stated emphasizing the last three words. "Daddy is going to Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione's. I am going to floo home to get us some more clothes. Because face it Boo," She grabbed Griffin, tickling him, "You stink."
"Mummy!" Griffin shrieked in surprise and laughter. Makenna laughed and nodded.
Harry just shook his head and picked Griffin up from Ginny's lap and dropped him onto his cot. "You," Harry pointed attempting to look menacing, "Stay in bed. And. Go to sleep. Got it?"
Griffin nodded smiling.
"A'right, see you later munchkin. Love you" Harry leaned over and kissed his son's head.
Ginny was having the same conversation with Makenna, she to kissed her child's head. Ginny and Harry then switched placed and repeated the process all over again with the other child.
Leaving they stopped by the nurses station.
"Aurora." Ginny spoke, "Could you possibly keep an eye on the twins. Just make sure they don't leave the room or anything? You know, like burn the place down, things like that."
Aurora laughed at the young woman, "Sure thing m'dears. I'll keep a watch on them for ya."
Harry and Ginny thanked them and continued to the apparition point. Once there, Harry kissed Ginny and agreed to meet back in two hours. With two loud pops, they were gone.
As they made their way back down the hall, Aurora walked up to greet them.
"Now. I never saw either of them leave the room. But I'll bet money that they aren't asleep yet." The three of them laughed and Harry thanked her again.
Walking back into the room, each carrying large bundles of either food or clothing, they stopped just inside the door. Harry and Ginny couldn't help but laugh. There before them was Griffin talking animatedly, standing on the foot of Makenna's bed. Makenna sat Indian-style at the head of the bed.
Ginny smiled softly. Oh Boo. I love you. No matter what you can always make her smile. At least the pain potion is working.
Harry cleared his throat, snapping Ginny out of her thoughts. He had obviously caught the attention of the children too because Makenna stopped laughing and Griffin froze. But, see as he was at that moment, balancing on the foot board, he lost his balance and fell onto the bed where he looked at his parents guiltily.
"Griffin." Ginny called out warningly. "Bed. Now."
Griffin jumped up and returned to his spot.
"Makenna Natalie Briar." Harry started, crossing his arms. The little red head looked up innocently into her father's eyes. Harry stared straight back into a mirror image of his own eyes. Eyes that were once full of life and shining but instead he saw the dull emerald they now were.
"You are suppose to be asleep," he glared playfully. "Not watching your brother make a monkey out of himself."
She laughed.
The four repeated their goodnights. Harry covered Makenna and sat in a chair set beside her bed. "Night Mac B." She giggled, "Night Daddy."
"Mummy. Will you sing?" Makenna called to her.
"Sure thing bug." With that Ginny settled into her own chair and began to sing. She continued to sing until both children and Harry were asleep. Then she trailed off, thinking. Hours past, then she stood and walked to her place from previous nights, before the window. She looked up into the sky and prayed.

Hello God, it's me again
2 A.M. Room 304 Visiting hours are over Time for our bedside tug of war This sleeping child between us May not make it through the night I'm fighting back the tears as she's fight for her life. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
Tears fell as she continued
*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
Well it must be kind of crowded
On the streets of Heaven So tell me what do you need her for Don't you know one day she'll be Your little girl forever But right now I need her so much more She's much to young to be on her own Barely just turned seven So who will hold her hand When she crosses the streets of heaven *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
Stopping Ginny thought back through the years. She remembered the day the twins were born. She remembered the final battle. She remembered all the times they had at Hogwarts and how Harry proposed one night at the Burrow and they were married shortly after she finished school.
