Chapter 2

Ginny POV

"Ron, open up!" Ginny pounded on the door. She waited for all of ten seconds before blowing it off its hinges.

Ron was lying on the couch, "Gin?"

"You're drunk!"

"I always drink when I lose the love of my life."

"Get up!"

"Why?"

"Hermione sent me to tell you that you are a father-to-be."

"I know that."

"Then get up!"

"Harry would never take me back."

"Yes he will," Ginny said confidently and then punched him in the arm, "After you sleep off three bottles of champagne."

Harry POV

"How do you feel?" Hermione asked, handing him a glass of water.

Harry took it from her, "Nauseous."

"That's from drinking last night. From now on, no alcohol or caffeine for you. Can you tell what it is?"

Harry concentrated, "I think it's a girl."

"Yeah, congrats mate," Fred walked in carrying the twins, James and Jesse.

"Hi Uncle Harry," James said reaching out to him.

"Hi James," Harry took him from Fred as Hermione did the same with Jesse.

"Hello Handsome," Hermione kissed Fred on the cheek.

"Hi Honey."

Harry stood up and set James on his chair, "Bye everybody. Thanks for letting me impose on your hospitality," he walked out the front door, followed by a chorus of goodbyes.

Hermione POV

Fred looked questioningly at Hermione, "Why didn't you tell him you sent Ginny to get Ron?"

Hermione stared out the window, "I'm not bailing Ron out again."

Ron POV

Ron stood in almost the exact position Harry had stood in only hours before, the doorstep of number twelve. He knocked loudly.

Remus opened the door.

Ron coughed, "Entertaining?" he asked, eyeing Remus's boxer shorts and bare chest with amusement.

Remus blushed, "Something like that."

"Is Harry still here?"

Remus shook his head, "He went to see 'Mione."

"Can I use your fireplace?"

"Sure," Remus stepped back to let him by.

Ron brushed into him, "Nice abs," he whispered teasingly.

"Right," Remus pushed Ron's hand away.

Ron held up a hand to block his vision, "Hi, Tonks."

Tonks laughed, "You can look, Ronnie."

Ron moved his hand to see Tonks fully dressed.

Tonks winked, "Just beating Remus at Strip Poker."

"Hasn't he won anything?"

Tonks shrugged, "He got my shoe."

Ron smirked at Remus, "Can I play later, Remmy?"

"Not bloody likely."

Ron laughed and then threw Floo powder in the fire. He stepped in and called out, "The mansion on the hill."

Harry POV

Harry rang the doorbell.

Joshua Bennett, Ginny's American husband, opened the door, "Can I help you?"

Harry sighed, they'd gone over this before, "Cut it out, Josh, for the last time, I am gay, I don't love your wife, and now I'm pregnant."

"Come on in, Harry."

"Thank you."

Ginny came around the corner, "Harry! Congratulations!" She took him by the hands, "Do you know what it is?"

Harry smiled, "I'm pretty sure it's a girl."

Ginny squealed, "I'm going to be an Aunt!"

"I don't know about that, but…"

Ginny turned to Joshua, "Speaking of children, I was thinking about..."

Joshua turned ash white, "Gin…"

Harry laughed silently, "I'm sure you don't want me around for that discussion. I'll be at the Burrow," he turned on his heel and walked out.

Ron POV

Ron landed in Fred's lap. Basically.

Hermione helped him to his feet, "It's nice to see you, Ron," she slapped him across the face, "Never do that again!"

Ron rubbed his cheek; "I'll get him back when I find him."

"Good!"

"So…where did he go?"

"Ginny's place."

Ron threw more Floo powder into the fire, stepped inside and said, "The mansion in the woods."
