Chapter 14A long night

Harry watched horrified as he saw his wife fall down the stairs. He had tried to catch her but he wasn't quick enough. As soon as she hit the last step he came out of his frozen horror and rushed down the stairs after her. When he got to her she was unconscious. He picked her body up off the floor and apparated to Saint Mungo's.

When he got to the lobby the secretary took one look at her and immediately conjured up a stretcher for her. She rushed away with Ginny leaving Harry there with the instructions,

"Stay in the waiting room please sir."

Harry walked over to the fireplace by the desk and flooed to the Burrow. He stumbled in and he was so distraught and worried that he he didn't even try to stay standing. He fell flat on his face with a loud THUMP. Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen with her back to the fireplace and when she heard the thump she spun around.

"Harry!" Then he got up slowly and she saw the look on his face. "What's wrong!"

"G-Giinny-fell-stairs-St. Mungo's-so sorry-my fault." Harry sputtered. Fortunately Molly was able to figure out what he meant.

"GINNY!" Molly screamed and apparated to the hospital. Harry was left alone and so he apparated to his parents house.

In the living room was James, Sirius and Remus. Lily and Tonks were in the kitchen making a late snack. When Harry popped into the living room he landed fine but then fell to his knees.

"Mum! Dad!" Harry yelled. The men weren't sure how to react at first but as the women came in from the kitchen they ran over to Harry who was now wide eyed and glancing from each person wildly.

"Harry what is it?" Lily asked gently kneeling down in front of her son.

"I came home from practice and Ginny was at the top of the stairs and I went up to talk to her but she was mad at me. We got into an argument and she went to hit me and I stepped out of the way and she lost her balance and she fell down the steps and went unconscious and now she at St. Mungo's and I can't see her and I'm so scared and its all my fault." Harry rambled on and on to his mother who even though her son was twenty-two years old pulled him into her arms and rocked him back and forth.

Sirius went to Ron and Hermione's flat to tell them, while James went to the Ministry to catch Arthur before he went home. Remus went to Bill's house and then Charlie's and Lily took Harry back to the hospital with Mrs. Weasley and then went to the Twins flat.

Soon all the Weasleys were at the hospital, waiting. Finally a healer came to them around four in the morning.

"Mr. Potter. We were able to stabilize your wife in time to save the baby. Something else extra-ordinary was that we were able to keep the baby in your wife. We didn't have to have her give premature birth, which probably helps both in the long run too. The baby will have a better chance at living while still developing if its not born premature. Also your wife might not have lived through the birth in her state. But we don't need to worry about that yet. I'm not saying they are in the all clear because they are both at a huge risk still. We will be monitoring them very close for the next few weeks. I'm not sure when your wife will be able to go home yet." The healer then walked away. Harry sank into a chair and put his head in his hands.

Lily walked over to her son and wrapped an arm around him.

"Let's get you home Harry. You need sleep." Then she apparated them both to Harry's house.

So this is short but this is my second update in one day and this is just because I'm nice and didn't want to leave you hanging for a while. Please tell me if the healers explanation made sense and if you liked it.
