After a week's worthof sex and relaxation in the South of France, Harry and Ginny returned to their new home.
"So…What should we do?" Ginny asked as they walked into the living room and deposited their luggage near the stairs.
"Well…we haven't christened this room yet." Harry said with a smirk as he stalked toward Ginny.
"You are insatiable!" She exclaimed before he pounced on her.
"…then we can put up streamers and balloons all around the…Ron, are you listening?"
"Hmm? Oh, yes of course I am, dear."
Ginny awoke to the sound of her sister's-in-law and brother's voices. Her eyes widened in realization that they were heading toward the living room where both she and her husband were lying naked on the couch.
"Shit," she whispered. "Harry, wake up. Wake up." She urged.
"What? Geez, Gin, I was having a nice dream."
The voices and footsteps were drawing nearer.
"Harry, we have to run up the stairs now. Hermione and Ron are headed towards the room. Go! Hurry!"
They were half way up the steps when they heard Ron exclaim, "My eyes! Oh Merlin, my eyes! Ew, ew, ew. I did not want to see that. Who runs around their house naked?
"You two are disgusting!" He yelled up the stairs.
Hermione, meanwhile, was cracking up laughing.
"Hermione! This is not funny. I have been scarred for life. I just saw my little sisters butt."
"Oh Ron, stop being so immature. Just be glad we didn't walk in sooner, eh?"
At that, Ron turned a nasty shade of green. "Do not even think that!" He said before making a few gagging noises.
"Are you two coming back down?" Hermione called.
"We'll be down in a minute!" Harry called back. "Just sit down and make yourselves comfortable."
Ron eyed the sofa warily before he plopped down on it. Hermione rolled her eyes before doing the same.
Soon enough they heard the telltale sound of Harry and Ginny coming down the steps. They looked surprisingly composed for having just been caught running naked up the stairs.
"I thought you two wouldn't be home until tomorrow." Hermione said while furrowing her brow.
"Oh? Is that why you are in our home? You like to sneak in here while we aren't home? Really, Hermione, Ron that is quite rude. And what exactly do you do here while we are away?" Ginny said in mock annoyance. "No…I'm just kidding. You are welcome here whenever you want. Just please knock or something before you do come. Why were you here though?"
"Well…" Ron began, "We wanted to throw you a surprise housewarming party. I guess it's not really a surprise anymore. We're still going to have it though. It's tomorrow at 1 P.M."
"That sounds really nice. Thank you guys." Harry said.
Ginny looked as if she was about to cry. "That is so nice of you! I can't believe you would do that for us!" Ginny exclaimed before she hugged her brother and sister-in-law. "Thank you so much."
"It's no problem really, Gin. We were happy to do it. No need to cry." Ron soothed.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me."
"Hormones I'd say. Women tend to get very emotional during pregnancy." Ron said. Everyone looked at him like he had grown another head. "What? I read." Ron defended.
They all snorted in response.
They spent the next few hours decorating and preparing for the party. When Hermione and Ron left, Ginny and Harry cuddled up near the blazing fireplace on a blanket. Ginny's shirt was up and Harry's hands were caressing the small bump that was there.
"What do you think it will be?" He asked.
"Human?" Ginny answered like it was a question.
"No," He laughed. "Do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
"Hmm… I don't know. What do you want?"
"Both." Harry smiled. "That would be nice. I don't have a preference though. I'd be happy with either."
"Yeah, me too. Do you want a big family, Harry? We never really talked about it."
There was a short pause and then: "I think I would like a big family. I never really had one when I was younger. Not until I met you and your family. So, yes, I think I would like a big family."
Ginny smiled. "I would like one too. I would love to see our children running around the house."
"That would be nice."
They stayed up talking most of the night until they fell asleep by the dwindling fire.
A/N: It's been a while and I'm sorry for that. School's a (insert bad work here). I had projects upon projects. I promise at least once a month updates though.
On a happy note...my birthday is in 2 weeks!
