Chapter 2- Unexpected love

Ginny lay awake early into the morning. She woke when Harry had gotten up for work, and was unable to fall back asleep. It was still early, around 7 and she knew Kat would be waking up soon for her morning feeding. She turn on her side and stared at the baby monitor that sat on her night stand table. She heard nothing but the occasional intake of breath from the baby.

She thought hard about the past two weeks. After bringing Katrina home, Ginny's family threw her a welcome home party. Three hours of hugging, cooing, and kissing was slowly surpassed before Harry and Ginny finally brought their new bundle home. Until the new house was finished, they had to stay in Harry's small condo in London. She thought about Harry, and how happy he's been. It's everything he's ever wanted. Ginny felt the slight stab tear at her heart again, and was just about to get out of bed when the phone rang. She walked over to the phone, and let it ring. She knew she shouldn't pick it up. She knew it was only going to make her more miserable. Slowly she picked up the receiver.

"Hello?" Her voice was soft and timid.

"I got them. We can be out of here by tomorrow morning." Ginny's hand tightened it's grip.

"It's too soon." She heard a loud sigh coming from the other end, and she sat down on the side of the bed.

"Gin, I thought we agreed to give it two weeks...Two weeks Ginny! That's what you said to me."

"I know Dean but I can't! It's too soon. I didn't know that I'd have to breast feed for at least the first year."

"THE FIRST YEAR!" Small amounts of liquid were beginning to pool in her eyes.

"Yes the first year. I can't leave her Dean...I can't leave them. Not now." There was silence, and Ginny knew she had made the wrong move. "Dean please say something. Please don't be angry."

"I am Ginny. I can't believe this. You told me you were going to leave Harry after he killed off You-Know-Who. You said you were going to end it. Then you get pregnant...ok so I wait for you to have this baby. HIS baby. And in the mean time you get married! And I take that too, because you promise me that soon, we can be together..."

"He needed me." Was her reply. A big lump was beginning to form in her throat.

"He could have found someone else..."

"He needed to produce and heir, without one the whole world could have fallen to the Dark Lord...You know this Dean, you stood by Harry. You fought with him! For heavens sakes YOU WERE HIS FRIEND!"

"I'll never deny I was his friend. I love Harry too Ginny, like a brother, he was always nice to me. But when he took you that was too much. You loved me Ginny."

"I loved him too..." On the verge of hysteria, Ginny's heart sank when a small cry from the next room interrupted her conversation.

"Look's like your daughter needs you. You'd better go tend to it." Dean said in an icy tone.

"Oh stop it you idiot! Just stop it! I'll go! I'll go with you Dean. OK? Are you happy!"

"Be at the train station at 8 am tomorrow. Meet me there."

"I'll be there." And without another word Ginny slammed the phone down, and walked to Katrina's room. She picked her up and sat in the rocking chair that was placed by the window. After adjusting Kat so she could drink, Ginny began to rock slowly and hum under her breath. She sat for what seemed like hours, staring into space. Thinking of Harry and Katrina.

"Oh god what kind of person am I?" Looking down at Katrina she went on. "Look at you, you're so beautiful. You have my face and hair. Beautiful hair, such a deep auburn, maybe darker than mine. But your eyes..." Tears filling her eyes again, her mind wondered back to Harry. "You have his eyes. Those eyes that will haunt me forever! Oh please don't look at me with those eyes. Please, know that I love you. You are mine, and I will love you always. And your father. I loved him...oh I still do. I still love him just as much as you...maybe more. But Dean...oh god..." She let herself cry, and after some time she forced herself to stop.

She looked down at Katrina, who had fallen back asleep. After laying her back down, she crawled back into her bed...Their bed, the bed they've shared so many times, and cried again, until Katrina awoke for her afternoon feeding.

Harry arrived home shortly after 5 o'clock. After putting his coat away, he proceeded to walk into the kitchen. There he found a smiling Ginny, holding out a glass of wine.

"What's all this?" He asked, examining her attire. She wore a fitting black sweater with a knee length black shirt, and matching heels that Harry thought showed off her lean legs perfectly. Her hair was down and she wore a touch of blush that brought more color to her face then ever.

"This is dinner." She replied simply. She walked through the open archway and into the dining room, glancing back as she turned the corner. Harry followed, mesmerized by her glow. Harry didn't eat much, too excited of what was to come later.

"Where's the baby?" He asked as Ginny got up to pour him more wine.

"Mom and Dad wanted her for the night, so I let 'em have her." She said walking back to her seat.

"But Ginny, what if she needs..."

"Harry stop it. This is our night." And without another word Harry went back to his meal. He was interrupted again however at the phone ringing.

"I'll get it." Ginny said jumping out of her seat.

"No need." Harry replied already up and half-way to the phone.

No, no, no!

"Hello?"

Oh god, please not now.

"...hello?..." Harry hung up. "Nobody there."

"Harry I need you." Ginny said standing up. Harry gave her a quizzical look. She could see his eyes blazing in the candle light.

"Uh...right now?"

"Yes!" She said walking over to him.

"We should probably clear the..." But before he could finish Ginny had already waved her wand and everything on the table disappeared.

"Harry...I need you."

"How much?" He asked, enjoying watching her.

"Don't play games."

"So kiss me then." He smiled and her heart melted. Obeying him she jumped into his arms and kissed him. Kissing him over and over, deeper and deeper.

"We should take this upstairs." He said into her lips. She nodded and they fumbled for footing. They got out of the dining room, still clutching each other they made their way to the stairs. Ginny tripped, causing them to fall into the wall. There Harry stripped Ginny of her shirt, and kicked off her shoes. Hands shaking Ginny tried desperately to undo Harry's shirt. Wanting to feel his skin, hot against her hands. Harry, being very inpatient pick up Ginny and carried her upstairs. When he got to their room, he tossed her onto the bed, shut the door, and began finishing the job on his shirt. Inpatient as well, Ginny jumped up and undid his pants, pulling them down to his ankles.

"Jesus Ginny." He said breathlessly and Ginny captured his mouth for another kiss.

"I need you." She whispered into his ear.

"Obviously." He said, pulling down her shirt and slip, leaving just a pair of lacy panties. "Those look familiar." He said kissing her neck and moving down her body.

"You should know them by now." She said, running her fingers through her hair. When he had reached the panties, he pulled them slowly down her legs, not taking his eyes off hers. When they were off he took them in his hands and flung them to the other side of the room.

"I need you Harry." Ginny moaned.

"So you've told me." Ginny moved to take off his boxers, and did so, also flinging them across the room.

"No." She said pushing him down on the bed and crawling on top of him. "I need you now." And with that Ginny lowered herself down gently. Letting him into her warmth, and began moving slowly. He moaned out with pleasure, and she claimed his lips again, then traveling kisses down his jaw and the spot on his neck.

"Ginny...are you...trying to kill me?" He said, unable to stand the slow pace any longer. He needed her now too, more then ever before.

"No Harry...I want you to remember this...forever..." She said kissing him more. "I want you to remember me...right now...forever." Harry was unable to say anything, his muscles began to tighten in his groan, and he was approaching release. Ginny screamed out as she reached heaven and Harry followed her, and slowly they both came back down to earth...together.

Ginny lay awake, exhaustion claiming her. She knew she couldn't sleep. She wouldn't wake up in time. So she lay there wrapped in Harry's arms, in his love, and listened to his stagger breathing. Nothing could tare her away. Except the light that slowly crawled up from darkness. The morning tore her away. From the warmth and love of him. She knew she could never feel the same way in anyone else's arms the way she felt in Harry's. But as she showered and dressed, she couldn't help but feel excited. After kissing Harry one last time, she shut the door, and left.
