Hey everyone! Sorry it's been awhile since the last time I updated but I have two other stories besides this one that I've been trying to update. But don't worry I haven't forgot about you guys! Hope you enjoy! And I can't remember if I told you or not, but thanx to a review 'Little Harry' is now Jack.

Chapter Nine: Good-bye?

I believe I left you guys with Harry and Hermione sitting in the dinner hall, wondering about the baby, Jack. Arthur and Molly Weasley were in the waiting room with Ginny who was still in tears. And the doctors were inside with baby Jack, trying to work without magic, since they had to use muggle machines to save the baby…is that right? I hope…

Hermione and Harry were heading back up stairs when Ron came running toward them.

"What is it? Is something wrong?" Harry asked, looking worried.

"I'm not sure, but they said it wasn't looking too good and you guys should get in the room right away." Ron said.

"Thanks for the talk Hermione. I have to go." Harry shouted and he went running up ahead.

"What's wrong? Do you know?" Hermione asked, as they walked back upstairs.

Ron looked over at Hermione with a depressed look in his eyes… "They don't think Jack will make it through the night. He's just not breathing on his own." Ron sighed.

Hermione bit her bottom lip, trying to hold back some tears. "Does Ginny know?"

"No, they haven't told her. They think she's going to take it really bad, and they don't want her to give up hope yet." Ron said as they rounded the corner of the hall. They could now see some doctors running in and out of Jack's room.

"Ginny's going to be devastated. With all that's been going on with Jack she hasn't stopped crying, she hasn't slept, and she hasn't even asked about Sophie or Charlie. All Ginny can think about is baby Jack." Hermione sighed. In the mean time, Sophie and Charlie had been going between Hermione and Ron to Molly and Arthur Weasley.

"I know."

"Is he going to be okay? What's going to happen to my baby?" Ginny practically yelled as a nurse pushed her out of the room and into Harry.

"I'm sorry, but we can't have anyone besides the doctors in here right now."

"But that's our son in there. Is he going to make it through the night!" Harry asked, getting madder and madder.

It was now almost past 11:30pm and they still hadn't been informed about anything. And things were starting to get crazier and crazier.

"The doctor will be out here in a minute to speak to both of you. He'll explain everything. But for the moment we need some space." The nurse repeated.

"Come on sweetie. Let's go sit down." Harry said and took Ginny by the hand and into the waiting room.

"What if something's wrong in there?" Ginny asked.

"Calm down darling." Molly said stroking her daughter's hair. Hermione and Ron had taken the other kids back home and Arthur and Molly had stayed.

"Look here comes one of the doctors." Arthur pointed out. They all sat up, eager to hear what he had to say.

" Good evening." He said in a deep voice. "I'm Dr.Chester, and I've been the leading doctor that has been watching over your son."

Every one nodded, not really caring, until they got to the part with Jack in it.

"So? Is my baby going to be okay?" Ginny asked.

"Okay, I know this might be hard for you to hear and understand, but…We don't think he'll pull through the night." He said softly.

Ginny broke into soft quiet tears and leaned into Molly's lap. "Are you sure?" Harry asked.

"We're almost positive. I'm so very sorry, but he's just not breathing on his own. The machine the muggles use is the only thing that's really keeping him alive. Without it, he would probably already be gone. If it's your wish, you can go see him once in private, then we can take him off life support?" he asked.

Harry looked over at Ginny who looked back at him.

"If we keep him on, will there be a chance of him living?" Ginny asked.

"No, I'm very sorry. But all we'd be doing his keeping his lifeless body plugged into a muggle machine. And that way, we wouldn't be able to use magic and take care of the other patients."

Ginny nodded mournfully.

"Okay, I guess we'll go say good-bye now." Harry said taking Ginny's hand and heading into the empty room.

"Hey Jack. Poor baby. I love you very much." Ginny whispered as they sat next to him. She caressed the top of his head gently. "I love you so much. And I will always miss you."

"I guess I'll never see my little boy play Quidditch." Harry said with a little laugh. You could see his eyes start to water as he held Jack's little hand. "You know your mom and I will always love you, and never forget you. And Sophia and Charlie's won't have as much fun around the house with out you any more." Harry sighed.

Ginny started crying even more. "I'm going to miss you so much!" Ginny sobbed harder. "I'll never get to hold you, I'll never hear you coming running into my room in the morning shouting, 'mummy, mummy' I'll never see you receive your Hogwarts letter…" and the rest faded out as she leaned her head on the edge of his bed.

"Listen, I want you to be looking down on us and watching. And you have to say hi to Uncle Sirious and Dumbledore for us. I know they'll take good care of you, were you're going. Your brother and sister are going to miss you. So will Uncle Ron, Auntie Hermione, Gramma Molly and Grampa Arthur." Harry bent forward and kissed his son's forehead. "I love you."

"I love you too baby." Ginny whispered. And she kissed his soft cheek.

"Is it time?" the doctor asked.

Harry nodded and stepped away from the bed as the doctor and nurse moved in. They slowly unplugged the machine and instantly baby Jack's chest stopped moving up and down, and they all knew that he had left them.

Ginny turned to Harry, slid her arms up around his neck, and began to cry softly into his neck. He didn't know what to do, what to say, or how to react. All he knew was he just lost one of the most important people in his life…once again.

"It's done. Let's go home." Harry sighed as they walked out of the room.

Molly started crying and Arthur just put his arm around her. "Everything's going to be all right." He said, trying to comfort her.

Harry sighed. "I just don't know how Hermione, Ron, and the kids are going to take this."
