Chapter 10
After Lizzy showed everyone her necklace, Ron and Hermione apologized for having to leave. They were starting their honeymoon. They were going to be gone for two weeks. They assured Ginny and Lizzy that they would send them pictures when they got back. They said their goodbyes and disapparated. The rest of the family enjoyed playing games of Operation and exploding snap. Harry and Ginny sat on the couch and watched as Lizzy enjoyed her new family.
After several games, Ginny noticed that Lizzy was yawning and nudged Harry. Harry picked up on what Ginny saw and said, "I think it is time we be get you home and into bed Lizzy." Lizzy looked up at him and said, "Ahh, but dad, I don't wanna go yet. Please just one more game." Harry smiled, how could he say no to that. "Okay but just one more game, and if I catch you yawn again, we are leaving." Lizzy jumped up, gave him a hug and said, "Okay dad." After about fifteen minutes Harry realized while talking to Ginny and Molly, that he hadn't heard Lizzy. He looked over at her and found her sleeping on the floor.
Molly sighed and said, "You know Harry, you are going to have to learn to tell her no sometimes." Harry laughed and said, "I know, it is still all so new. Plus, when she calls me dad, I just go to mush. I know I am going to have to get over that too. I don't think it will hurt to spoil her a little now." Molly smiled and said, "Why don't you just take her up to Ginny's room. As long as you and Ginny behave yourselves you can stay in there too. Lizzy can sleep with Ginny on her bed and you can take Hermione's." Harry smiled as he stood up. He kissed Molly on the cheek and said, "Thank you Molly. We will be good."
Harry went and pick Lizzy up off the floor. He carried her upstairs and placed her in Ginny's bed, while Ginny was saying good night to the family. When Ginny came into the bedroom, Harry was sitting on Hermione's bed starring down at Lizzy. Ginny walked over and sat next to him. He turned and gave her a kiss. "You are so wonderful, you know that?" he said. Ginny smiled and leaned up against him and said, "Yeah, but I still like to hear it." Harry let out a quiet chuckle and squeezed her in a hug. "I love you" Ginny looked up at him and said, "I love you too. Now we had better get in our own beds and go to sleep. Otherwise Lizzy might wake up, or mum will come in and wake her up, while yelling at us." Harry smiled and said, "I suppose you're right. Goodnight." "Goodnight Harry." With that they climbed into their separate beds and went to sleep.
Lizzy, Ginny, and Harry all woke up the next morning, to a baby crying. They all went downstairs to see McGonagall holding the baby, while Molly was fixing a bottle. Harry walked over to McGonagall and asked, "Baby Becca?" McGonagall nodded. Harry held out his arms to take the baby and said, "Can I hold her?" Becca was handed to Harry. Almost instantly Becca stopped crying, and Harry was talking to her. All four females in the room said, "Whoa" at the same time. Harry looked up and said, "What" Molly walked over to him and handed him the bottle. She said, "I have never seen a man have that kind of response from a baby so instantly. Go ahead and feed her while you got her." Harry looked at the woman like she was out of her mind. "What? No, I can't do that, she needs to be bonding with you not me. I just wanted to hold her." and he tried to hand Becca back to McGonagall, but she refused. Harry turned to Molly and said, "Please, I only wanted to hold her, I am not ready to feed her. She is your daughter now, she needs to bond with you." Molly smiled and said, "Alright, but you will be getting your share of helping with her. You are the one who helped her to find us, and you Uncle Harry are going to do just fine." and with that she took Baby Becca and began to feed her.
