More Surprises!
" Pregnant ? " stuttered Harry.
But Ginny didn't get a chance 2 respond to Harry as Ron had pounced onto Harry , like a lion pouncing on his prey. Ron raised his fist but Hermione grabbed him and pulled him off Harry.
" RON , Harry is your best mate and you want to punch him ? what is wrong with you ?" shouted Hermione.
Ron looked down at his feet and then looked up at Harry.
" You said you hadn't got her pregnant. Why did you lie ? " asked Ron
" Well yesterday I didn't know that she was pregnant and I didn't do this on purpose , I'm just as shocked as you are ! " answered Harry holding his arms up in defence.
" He's right Ron , I only just found out myself !" said Ginny , trying to prevent her brother from beating up Harry.
" Oh , well , I'm still mad you though Harry but I don't think beating you to a pulp is the answer " said Ron , looking really confused " I think I need to lay down. "
Ron walked out of the living room and went upstairs.
" Well I better go and make sure Ron's ok " said Hermione . As she walked passed she whispered to Ginny " Good Luck " and went upstairs to check on Ron.
Ginny sat down on the couch and just stared at her feet.
" So , when did you find out you were , you know ? " asked Harry , still unsure of what was happening.
" About two days ago " said Ginny
" Oh , do you want to keep it ? " asked Harry again.
" Harry that is a stupid question , of course I want to keep it , whether you want it or not " said Ginny firmly.
Harry sat down next to Ginny and took one of her hands in his.
" I love you so much and to know that your carrying my child makes me the happiest man alive. " said Harry.
" So , you want to keep it ? " asked Ginny
" Of course I do " replied Harry with a great big grin on his face.
" Do you want to come with me to St Mungo's tomorrow ?" asked Ginny
" Yeah , sure. " replied Harry.
About an hour later Ron and Hermione came downstairs and the four of them watched television until they went to bed.
The next morning Ginny woke up to wonderful sunshine streaming into her and Harry's bedroom. She looked at her clock and saw that it was 9am. She rolled over and found Harry smiling down at with his head propped up on his hand.
" Morning sweetie ! " said Harry , in a cheerful voice.
" Happy birthday ,sexy " said Ginny in the most cheerful voice she could muster at that time in the morning. She opened her drawer in her bed side table and pulled out a picture she had gone to lot of trouble to get.
"Here , sorry its not wrapped." Said Ginny.
"You didn't have to get me a present. Having baby is the present." Said Harry , then he looked at the picture. The picture was him and his parents on the day he was born , by the looks of it. Tears started forming in his eyes.
"It's not much but I knew it would mean a lot to you." Said Ginny , thinking he didn't like.
Harry gave Ginny a sweet kiss on the lips and stroked her hair.
" OK what's wrong ? You don't usually give this must attention in the mornings. " asked Ginny , bemused by Harry's attention to her.
" Well , its not always my birthday and your not usually pregnant ! " was Harry's reply.
" I think it should be your birthday every day and I should be pregnant more often. " laughed Ginny.
Harry was about to give Ginny a huge bear hug but Ginny quickly slipped out of the bed and headed towards their bathroom to have a shower.
Once she was out of sight Harry sighed a huge sigh. She always did that. He knew she was doing it jokingly but just one day he wanted her to let him cuddle her for ages in the morning before they went downstairs.
Harry hadn't slept much in the night as he was still overwhelmed at the fact that he was going to become a father. Yet , he could hardly wait.
He got out of bed and grabbed his dressing gown. He walked into the steamy bathroom and washed his face .
" I'm going downstairs now Gin , I'll see you down there." Said Harry.
" Ok Hun " replied Ginny , from the shower.
Harry walked into the kitchen. Ron was already sitting at the table. He was reading the daily prophet.
" Hey Ron." Said Harry cheerfully.
Ron mumbled something that sounded like 'morning'. Ron still wasn't talking to Harry properly and Harry wasn't going to let him carry on.
" Ron , we need to talk. " Said Harry
" No we don't. It's simple , you got my sister pregnant and your not going to marry her. There is nothing to talk about." Said Ron , emphasising on the word nothing.
" No , Ron it is not simple . Sure I haven't proposed to Ginny yet but who's to say I'm not going to. I don't have the guts you have Ron. I can fight Voldemort but when it comes to asking your sister to marry me , I would rather fight Voldemort 10 times. I'm worried she is going to say no. " finished Harry.
" Oh , well mate she isn't going to say no. She's loved you even before she knew you. Just ask her. " replied Ron , he then got up and put his breakfast bowl in the sink. "we got practise in 20 minutes , you going to get dressed ? "
" Oh yeah , can you tell coach that I've got a personal things to attend to ? Me and Gin are going to the hospital." Said Harry.
" Sure mate. " said Ron. "Oh and happy birthday. 'Mione's got your present."
"Thanks." Replied Harry.
Ron went upstairs. Harry ate his breakfast then went upstairs to get dressed.
When Harry got to his bedroom , he could hear Ginny throwing up in the bathroom. He walked in and knelt beside her and held her hair back. He rubbed her back. Soon she stopped throwing up and fell into Harry's arms.
" This is going to be hard , isn't it Harry ? " asked Ginny after a few minutes.
" Yes but we will get through it. " replied Harry.
Ginny got up and washed her face. She went into their bedroom.
" You better get dressed because we got to get to the hospital by 11." Said Ginny.
" Ok , just give me a minute. " replied Harry.
Twenty minutes later Harry and Ginny were in the hall putting their coats on. As they were putting their coats on , a sleepy looking Hermione walked down the stairs.
" Hey sleepy head , have a nice sleep ? " asked Harry.
" Happy Birthday , Harry. Yeah I had really nice sleep, why didn't anyone wake me ? I've so much to prepare for the wedding. " said Hermione.
" We didn't wake you because Ron thought you deserved a lie in as you didn't have work today. And after he's finished practise he's going finish up some of the things for the wedding." Harry said.
" Take a break and have a day all to your self. " said Ginny "we got to go now , we will see you later. "
"OK , I'll give you your present later Harry." Said Hermione.
With that Ginny and Harry disapparated out of the house and into St mungo's.
Ginny and Harry apparated into the reception of St Mungo's. Today didn't seem to be such a busy day. There were only few people waiting to be told where to go.
Ginny walked up to the front desk.
" Um .. I have an appointment with the head of the maternity ward. Could you tell me where I have to go ? " asked Ginny politely.
" Read the … " the receptionist stopped in mid sentence because she had just noticed who was standing behind Ginny.
" Um . um . the maternity ward is on the 3rd floor Mrs Potter. " she said after a while.
Ginny nor Harry corrected the receptionist. Instead they just walked in the direction of the stairs.
As they were walking away , Ginny heard the receptionist say : " I didn't know Harry Potter had gotten married. And it looks like they have a bun in the oven as well."
Ginny silently laughed to herself but was also mad because Harry hadn't asked her to marry him yet.
Harry and Ginny walked up the stairs in silence. They reached the 3rd floor and there were three different wards. The walked into the maternity ward.
As they walked in , the ward was long with lots of doors coming off both sides of the ward. Right at the end was a door that had Head healer of the maternity ward. Ginny and Harry walked up to the door and Ginny knocked.
" Come in " said a voice from behind the door.
They both walked in.
"Hello Miss Weasley , oh and Mr Potter has come as well " said the healer. " Well have a seat , I'm healer Keller , as you know I'm the head of this department. Now what information do you want me to tell you today ? "
" Well , I would like to find out how far along I am and to make sure the baby is healthy. I can't think of anything else I need to know." Said Ginny, while Harry sat silently next to her , looking at his hands.
" Ok , if you could lie on the bed and we can find out for you. " said Healer Keller.
Ginny got on the bed and lifted up her top so the healer could do the tests she needed to do. Healer Keller got her wand out and waved it over Ginny's abdomen. A screen appeared beside the bed. The image on the screen looked like a big blur to Harry and Ginny. The healer studied the screen for a few minutes.
" Miss Weasley , does multiple births run in your family ? " asked Healer Keller.
" Um .. I have twin Brothers. " replied Ginny.
" Well , it looks like you are carrying triplets." Said Healer Keller.
" Triplets ? " Said Harry , speaking for the first time since they had been in the room.
" Healer Keller , are you sure ? " Added Ginny.
" I am very sure." Replied the Healer.
" So how far along am I ? " asked Ginny , steering to conversations away from there being triplets.
" Well your 1 and a half months along. And all three of them are healthy as can be at that age. " Said Healer Keller. She then laughed to herself.
Ginny and Harry looked at her.
" Oh just ignore me. I'll give you a few minutes to discuss the things I have just told you. " the Healer said. She left the room.
" Well , what do you think about triplets ? " Ginny broke the silence , that had slowly crept upon the room.
" Triplets ? Triplets ? How can we afford triplets ? How will we manage to look after them ? " Said Harry in one breath.
Ginny jumped off the bed and sat in the seat next to Harry. She put her hand in his.
" We will manage because I have 6 brothers and they will be more than happy to help. And the money problem , well there isn't one. You and I bring in enough money a month." Ginny said.
" Triplets ! We're going to have three children in one go. That is amazing. I can't wait to tell everyone. " Said Harry sounding really excited.
" Wait a minute. We're not telling anyone , other than Ron and Hermione, about this. Not yet " said Ginny in a stern voice.
At that moment the Healer popped her head round the door.
" Is ok to come back in ? " she asked.
Ginny nodded. Healer Keller walked in and another Healer walked in behind her. He was a tall , thin man but looked very young.
" This is Healer Lowe , he will be working along side me , throughout your pregnancy. He is a trainee so please be patient with him " Said Healer Keller.
" Hi , nice to meet you and you can call me Ryan ! I hate formalities! " said Healer Lowe. He sounded very enthusiastic.
" Hi ,you can call me Ginny and this is Harry. " said Ginny , pointing to Harry.
Harry smiled and so did the Healer.
" Well , that's all for today. In 4 weeks time you will have an appointment with Healer Lowe as I will be away." Said Healer Keller.
They left the office and went to Diagon alley for lunch.
Harry and Ginny were sitting at a small table at the back of the Leaky cauldron. They were looking at the menu , deciding what to have for lunch.
" I don't want anything , just reading the menu makes me feel sick. " announced Ginny.
" You have to eat something. Your eating for four now , not one ! Just have a little bit of mine. " said Harry. The look on Ginny's face told him she didn't want to. " Please , for me ? " He gave her, his adorable , hard to resist puppy dog eyes.
"Ok , but only a little bit. " said Ginny.
Harry ordered his meal. While they waited for it to arrive , they discussed the fact they were having triples.
" So , do you want girls or boys ?" asked Harry.
" um .. it would be nice to have two girls and one boy. But I'm not that bothered as long as their healthy. " replied Ginny.
" I agree , but it would be nice to have all boys." Said Harry , smiling.
" BOYS ! I grew up with boys ! I don't need anymore boys in my life. But I did say I don't mind so I will shut up." Replied Ginny.
At that moment Harry's lunch arrived. He had decided on fish and chips.
Ginny decided to just have a few chips.
Ginny arrived home at 2 o'clock that afternoon. Harry had gone to see his coach straight after they had finished lunch. Ginny had gone to Fred and George's shop for an hour and then decided to go home.
Ginny went upstairs to do some washing. She emptied the laundry basket in her and Harry's room. She checked the pockets of all the clothes. When she got to Harry's jeans she found a tiny box. A Ring box to be exact.
Should I open it or not ? , she thought.
She decided to open it. She opened the box and there was a engagement ring sitting in the middle of the box. The centre diamond was a emerald green , it was in the shape of a heart , on both sides of the diamond were two tiny diamonds and the band was silver. Inside the band , Ginny noticed there were inscriptions that read Ginny and Harry forever.
" Anyone home ?" called Hermione's voice from downstairs.
" I'm in my room. " Replied Ginny , still holding the ring box in her hand.
Hermione walked in and sat on the bed.
" What's that ? " she asked pointing to the box.
" I think … I think it's an engagement ring. " said Ginny , handing Hermione the box.
" OH MY GOD ! its gorgeous. I think this was Lily's ring. " said Hermione , admiring the ring.
" Should I tell Harry I found it? " Asked Ginny
" I think you should put it back and just wait for him to ask you . He will ask you when he is ready." Advised Hermione.
" Ok , I think that is the best idea. " agreed Ginny.
" So how did it go with the Healer ?" asked Hermione.
Ginny sat on the chair next to her dressing table and laughed.
" Well , the baby is healthy and I am a month and a half along. The shocking part was I am carrying triplets. " Ginny said , then laughed.
" Are you serious ? " Asked Hermione.
Ginny nodded.
" So who is your Healer ? " asked Hermione.
" Full of questions today aren't you ? Well , I have two Healers. I have Healer Keller and Healer Lowe or Ryan as he asked us to call him. They both seemed really nice. " said Ginny.
" I know Ryan , I usually eat lunch with him. Once you get to know him , he's really funny. " Hermione said.
" Good because I like people who make me laugh. " said Ginny.
Hermione and Ginny laughed. Ginny walked over to her wardrobe and took out a big photo album.
" What's that ? " asked Hermione.
" It's the photo album Hagrid made for Harry after your first year. Me and Harry have added to it over the years. I thought we could look at it and laugh at how silly we all looked. I could do with a laugh. " answered Ginny.
Ginny sat next to Hermione and opened the book over their laps. On the first page was a moving picture of Lily and James.
" Aw , they were so sweet. " commented Ginny.
" It looks like you and Harry. " said Hermione.
They looked through all the pictures of Harry , Ron and Hermione's first year. Then they looked at the next two years. They then came to the year of the triwizard tournament. There was a picture of all them in a group. Including Neville , Viktor , Parvati and Padma.
" Look at Ron , he looks like he got slapped by a fish." Laughed Hermione.
" He was just jealous you had gone to the ball with Viktor. " said Ginny.
They carried on through the book. They got to the year Harry defeated voldemort. The picture was of Harry, Ginny , Hermione and Ron at one of the parties that happened afterwards. They all were smiling and waving.
" I remember that night. It was the first party we had after the downfall of Voldemort. Everyone was so happy and it was nice sight to see. " commented Ginny.
" Yeah it was " agreed Hermione.
The next pictures were fairly recent. They were from Hermione and Ron's engagement party. The first picture was of Ron and Hermione. The next one was of Ginny and Harry with Fleur and Bill's children. Ginny was holding Lizzie in her arms and Harry had Laurent and Lewis on his knees.
" You and Harry are going to be great parents , that picture just proves it. " said Hermione.
The next few pictures were of the Weasley family and then a few more of Ron , Hermione , Harry and Ginny. They got to the end of the album , when Ron and Harry arrived home.
"What are you doing up here ?" asked Harry
" Just looking at photo's !" said Hermione.
" Can we look as well ? " asked Ron.
" Of course you can. " answered Ginny.
Ginny sat on Harry's lap and Hermione sat on Ron's.
"Harry , add the one of you and your parents." Suggested Ginny.
Harry reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out the picture Ginny had given. He flicked to the back of the book and magically glued the photo in.
"Oh and this one." Said Ginny , also reaching into her pocket. She pulled out a magical sonogram from the hospital. She then glued it in as well.
They all looked at the photos and enjoyed the rest of the day as four best friends.
