Dadswell: Thanks for reviewing!
Outlawed-little-angel: No, Callie isn't in the wedding party; I really couldn't think of a way to fit her into the wedding party but she will be involved in the ceremony. I'm glad you don't want to see the paper; it's got some unresolved issues.
Atomic Elf: Thanks! It's a challenge; I'll tell you that.

Mrs.HarryPotter12: I'm so glad you found the story. Yeah, Ginny/Oliver is great. I love writing it. Thanks for reviewing and thanks for being my beta.
Okay, so the next chapter is the wedding. This story is going to go until the birth of Ginny and Oliver's biological first child together and then I'll probably write a sequel. I'm so glad people are checking out It's Only You Tonight. That makes me happy. This chapter deals with the days leading up to the wedding and the birth of Oliver's sister's baby.
By the way, Oliver is going to do something with Callie at the beginning of the chapter that I have to explain. My boyfriend and his younger brother were playing with my baby sister today and that's what Ben was doing. It's going to seem weird but hey, it was really funny to watch Ben and Joey do it. (But I must say I hope that Oliver has a better voice than Ben does. I love him, but voice lessons, sweetheart!) And yes, this is the song from Miss Congeniality but hey, it was funny! (And don't ask me how my boyfriend saw Miss Congeniality; he has a sister, but she's twelve, so...)
Oliver scooped Callie up and swung her around. "You're one in a million, my little princess," he told her, kissing her forehead. Then he began singing, "You're one in a million for the rest of your life. You made me discover what life is about. You're one in a million, Miss Calandra Rose…" his voice trailed off as Ginny walked into the room.
She shook her head. "You do realize that you're crazy, don't you?"
He kissed her cheek. "I'm just spending some quality time with Callie."
"And singing strange songs from Muggle movies," she added. "Honestly, some days I wonder what I'm doing with a guy like you."
"You love me," he replied, kissing her.
"Hey, not in front of Callie! I actually came in here to tell you something."
"And what was that? Did you come to tell me how much you love me?"
"I love you more than words, but that's not why I'm here. Your mother just sent me an owl; Helena's in labor at St. Mungo's. You should go there."
"But what about packing?" They were preparing to move from Hogwarts to Oliver's house just outside of London. Ginny wasn't crazy about the idea of living with Oliver for the next week before their wedding but staying at Harry and Hermione's flat or the Burrow was simply out of the question. The Burrow was filled with last minute preparations for the wedding reception and all the clothes for the wedding party were all over Ginny's old room at Harry and Hermione's place; also, Hermione had a newborn baby and didn't need any more stress on her hands than she already had.
Ginny put her hand on her fiancée's shoulder and smiled. "I'll take care of it. I'm sure I can get your grandparents to help me take our things to your flat. Your sister needs you, especially if we're going to adopt her baby."
"You really want to do that?"
Ginny shrugged. "Oliver, the baby will be your niece or nephew; he or she will need their family and we're the closest that baby will be able to get to Helena."
He nodded. "I'm worried about Beatrice," he confessed suddenly.
"Why?"
"I don't think she's learning her lesson."
Ginny nodded and stroked Callie's head as the little girl leaned her head against Oliver's shoulder, trying to comfort him. "You think she's being too pampered by staying at home?" He nodded as she went on. "I thought your mum was going to home school her and keep things as strict as she could."
"She was, but it's kind of hard to be that strict with her when she's not being that strict with Helena and Viola. So next year, Mum and Dad are shipping her off to Beauxbatons in France. Hogwarts won't take her back. My dad's sister, Marianne, is married to a Frenchman and they both teach at Beauxbatons."
His fiancée nodded. "And your parents are hoping this will inspire a transformation in her behavior?"
"And if it doesn't, they're hoping my uncle Francois will straighten her out. Mum and Dad are mad at Helena and Beatrice. Ophelia and I were never like that."
Ginny nodded. "You were good?"
He grinned like a little boy. "Well, I'd better get going. I'll see you girls soon." He handed her Callie and kissed both of them. "I love you, Gin. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. This past year, changing careers, watching this mess with Bea and Helena unravel, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been standing next to me supporting me, telling me everything would work out."
She kissed his cheek. "I love you. You've been there a lot for me, too. You're the best and I'll always love you the best."
They kissed even though she was holding a squirming Callie. Then he stroked her auburn hair. "I'll see you soon, darling."
She smiled as he walked out of the room, the taste of his lips on hers. In two weeks, they would become husband and wife. "Callie, that is the most amazing man in the world," she whispered as she turned back to the things she needed to pack.
Two hours and hundreds of spells later, all the boxes from Oliver's quarters and Ginny's quarters were scattered across the floor of Oliver's living room. Ginny had to get her things into the room she would be sleeping in until the wedding, Oliver's things needed to be in his room, and Callie's needed to be in the nursery. But right now, Callie was hungry and Ginny had a headache, make that a migraine. All she wanted to do was curl up and go to sleep but first she needed to feed her daughter. Thank goodness Callie was eating solid foods now; breastfeeding would have been impossible just then.
She fed Callie quickly and then lay down on her bed with the baby in her arms. She intended to just sleep for a few moments, but when Oliver got home six hours later, that was how he found his fiancée and her daughter. Ginny was strewn across her unmade bed with Callie snuggled in her arms. Oliver smiled as he saw them. "I'll just get to work on unpacking and let her sleep," he whispered. "She needs her rest."
And it was in Callie's room that Ginny found him at ten o'clock the next morning, snoring loud enough to raise the dead. She smiled as she saw the boxes surrounding him, some of them unpacked, others still waiting for their turn. She adjusted Callie on her hip. "I'll let him sleep and work on giving this house a woman's touch. Come on, Calandra, let's go make this house a home."
"Daddy!" Callie squealed.
"Shh, no sweetie, let's give Daddy a chance to sleep. He's had a long night; he needs his rest."
"Daddy!" the little girl shrieked. "I want Daddy!"
Before Ginny could shush the little girl, Oliver stirred. "Daddy's awake!" Callie squealed.
Ginny sighed as Oliver mumbled, "Let me sleep, Mummy."
"See, Callie? Daddy wants to sleep," Ginny told her daughter, softly. "Let's go downstairs and eat breakfast. Then we'll make the house nice and pretty for Daddy."
"Daddy!" Callie squealed.
"Shh," Ginny whispered, pressing her finger to her lips.
"Shh!" Callie yelled, practically spitting all over her mother and trying to mimic her mother's motion.
Ginny shook her head in exasperation and started walking downstairs. Just then, Callie yelled out, "Daddy!"
"What?" Oliver moaned from the bedroom.
"Go back to sleep!" Ginny yelled as she walked down the stairs. "You deserved it after last night."
Oliver quickly caught up to her. "No, this little alarm clock woke me up well and good," he said, kissing the top of Callie's head.
"So, how's Helena?" Ginny asked.
"Wonderful, she and the baby, our new baby, are both in good health and doing fabulously."
"Son or daughter?" Ginny asked.
"Daughter," Oliver said with a smile. "A beautiful baby girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes named Anna Sophia; she looks everything like Helena and nothing like Ed. The doctors say we can bring her home in a week."
Ginny smiled. "Can we go see her later today?"
"If you want to, although we'll have to leave this little loudmouth with Harry and Hermione," he said as he tickled Callie's feet. "Do you want to stay with your favorite godparents?"
"Mama!" she babbled, kicking her little feet.
Oliver shook his head. "She's hopeless, Gin. You're all she thinks about."
"Oliver, I'm her mother and she's fourteen months old. What do you expect her to think about?"
"Me?" he replied hopefully.
"No, sweetie, that's my job," Ginny said. Then she kissed her fiancée.
A few hours later, Ginny and Oliver were at St. Mungo's in the maternity ward with Helena and baby Anna. "So you two are going to adopt Anna?" Helena asked, concern filling her eyes.
Ginny nodded. "We're going to give her the best life we can."
"Can I see her sometimes? Like, can I visit her on weekends or something?"
"Of course," Oliver replied. "We want you to be involved in her life." But out of the corner of his eye, he could see hesitation in Ginny's eyes and he decided to talk to her when they got home.
Oliver walked into Ginny's bedroom after dinner that night. "What's wrong? Something was bothering you at the hospital. Come on, sweetheart, tell me what's wrong."
"Helena," she mumbled.
"Helena?" he asked. "What's wrong with my sister?"
"I'm not sure I want her around Callie and Anna."
"But she's Anna's mother!"
"Michael Corner is Callie's father but I don't want him near her!"
"But Anna will never know Ed! Why should we take Helena out of her life too?"
"I'm not trying to take Helena out of Anna's life!"
"Then what are you trying to do?" Oliver bellowed.
"I'm trying to protect her from the confusions of growing up in a family where she has a set of parents she sees every day and another woman who comes to visit on weekends. She'll wonder why Helena comes by and then we'll have to deal with everything years early than we would have otherwise. I just don't think giving your sister free reign in Anna's life is the best idea." At the end of her long rant, Ginny stood breathless, staring at her fiancée.
Oliver looked at Ginny almost as if seeing her for the first time. At the same time, he saw the sense behind Ginny's words. He loved his sister very much, but he saw his fiancée's point. It would be confusing for Anna to have two people who were her mother. He rested his head in his hands and shook his head. Then he sighed and looked up at Ginny again. "You're right, Gin," he said slowly. "It would be hard on Anna to have Helena coming and going from her life. Helena's going to be in France for the next two years and it just wouldn't be fair to Anna to have Helena coming and going from her life like she would. Helena and Anna will have the normal aunt-niece relationship until we decide that she is read to know the truth about Helena. We're going to raise Callie and Anna as a team; we're going to do this together."
Ginny squeezed his hand. "Together, Oliver and Ginny, we'll be making the decisions together."
Oliver kissed her. Then he said, "Just think, in a little under two weeks, we'll be married and I'll have officially adopted Callie."
"Oliver and Ginny Wood and their daughters, Calandra Rose Wood and Anna Sophia Wood," Ginny whispered with a smile. "We'll all be a real family."
"And that is something all four of us need. Anna needs a family; I need a family."
"Callie and I need a family. And best of all, I get to marry a man I'm madly in love with." Ginny kissed Oliver and then smiled. "You and Callie are the best things that ever happened to me and Anna only makes things better. I can't wait until the wedding."
Oliver smiled as she kissed him again. He loved her so much; she was so wonderful to him. She was willing to adopt Anna even though she clearly disliked Helena. Just then Callie started crying. "I should go to her," Ginny whispered.
Oliver nodded but made no move to release his fiancée. "Oliver, she needs me," Ginny whispered.
"But so do I," he moaned.
"She's my daughter."
"You're my fiancée."
"I'll be back soon,' Ginny promised. He let her go and she went to Callie's room.
A week later, Oliver and Ginny brought Anna Sophia Wood home. Ginny was sitting on the couch holding Anna while Callie sat in Oliver's lap and looked at her new sister. "Baby," Callie said, pointing at Anna. "Mummy, Daddy, Cawwie, and baby!"
Ginny smiled. Her daughter recognized that they were becoming a family. The wedding was just a few days away. At the Burrow, the Weasleys were frantically preparing for the wedding reception. In Scotland, the Woods were preparing the church for the wedding. And at The Rose Cottage, Oliver and Ginny's house, Hermione and Ginny were trying to make sure Ginny's gown and the bridesmaids' dresses would be ready for the wedding.
The night before the wedding, Ginny took Anna and Callie and went to the Potters' flat. She'd wanted to spend her last night as a single woman at the Burrow, in the room where she'd grown up but the house was full of pre-wedding mayhem, so she chose to spend the night with two of her best friends. Lily and James were four now, Sirius was two, and the new baby, Sarah, was six weeks old.
Hermione was as happy and bustling as ever, trying to keep her family satisfied. At dinner, Ginny watched with something akin to envy as Hermione listened to Lily and James chattering, supervised Sirius as he ate his chicken and green beans, and held a sleeping Sarah in her arms. Sure, Ginny was helping Callie eat and holding Anna in her arms, but Mione had Harry to help her. Ginny couldn't wait until her wedding when she and Oliver would be raising Callie, Anna, and any other children they might have together. She couldn't wait until tomorrow morning.
