After several hours, Luna finally cam out of the bathroom. George wasn't there. She quickly went to lock the door and charmed it just in case. That is when she saw a note sitting on her bed.
It was from George. He apologized and explained himself, but the thing is, Luna wouldn't have regretted. Of course George Weasley would never understand that. He would never think of Luna wanting to be with him or him wanting to be with her. It hurt Luna even more how sweet he was trying to be because it made her want him that much more. Luna climbed into bed and dreamed of George. In her sleep, wrackspurts said love was soon to come. Luna had never doubted a wrackspurt before, but now she was starting to. She knew that couldn't be possible. With her luck, she would probably never be with anyone ever again.
She slowly got up and tip-toed to the kitchen. George wasn't there.
"George?" Luna called out. No reply. Maybe he was downstairs, in the shop.
Luna pulled on some jeans and a sweater. She knew it wouldn't change anything, but she wanted to look nice for George. She didn't want to just wear some ratty pajamas. She skipped down the stairs, but there was no one there. A woman outside knocked on the window outside the shop and motioned for her to come over. Luna unlocked the door and opened it up.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think we are open today," Luna said kindly.
"Oh, I understand, but I was on the phone with Mr. Weasley the other week and he told me to pick up a package today. The name's Opal," the woman informed her.
"Oh. Alright. Come on in," Luna said. Luna went to the back and sure enough, there was a package for a Ms. Opal Ritersworth.
"Here you are," Luna was saying handing her the package.
"Thank you so much," the woman said as something in her bag started ringing. The woman dug through her bag and pulled out a cell phone. Luna knew what they were because many people at the University had them. The woman started to leave the shop and waved goodbye to Luna, but not before Luna heard the start to the conversation.
"Henry!" The woman exclaimed. Luna felt her heart being tugged. She hadn't heard or said the name. She could feel the tears coming.
"Yes. I got you wand repaired....Sure, I'll meet you. I'm just leaving the Weasley shop," the woman continued to talk as she went through the door, but Luna could no longer hear her. Of course, it wasn't her Henry, her Henry wasn't a wizard. She had never told Henry she was a witch. She was going to tell them after the marriage, but...
Luna felt the tears running down her cheeks. She quickly brushed them off with her hand. Ginny was coming by for lunch, she needed to be under control.
Luna sat in the shop thinking for hours until Ginny walked through the door. Again, smashing her in a bone crushing hug. They headed down to a new restaurant that Ginny had heard good reviews for. /They had just begun to talk and eat when Harry burst into the restaurant.
"Hermione's gone into labor! We're going to meet Ron at the hospital. They asked us to watch Rose. Luna, come too. Hermione would love to have you come see her. It would make her so happy," Harry told them.
Shortly after, Luna was in the hospital with Harry, Ginny, Rose, James, and Albus. The rest of the Weasley's arrived only a few minutes later. The waiting room was packed. Ron came out to tell everyone what was going on. Ginny was so excited and all the chaos was making her anxious. Harry tried to coax her into sitting and resting because she shouldn't be doing so much in her ninth month. He even tried to convince Ginny not to go out to eat with Luna and just have Luna come over for lunch, but Ginny was stubborn. Nearly ten minutes later, Ginny started having contractions and the nurses wheeled her off. There baby, like Ginny, was stubborn and the doctors couldn't stop the delivery. So Ginny was going to have her baby two weeks early.
Harry was panicked, "Oh no. Can someone take the kids back. I can't watch them now!"
Of course everyone was trying to help Hermione and Ginny. Hugo was officially born and was healthy. Everyone had crammed into the room to see him. Ron and Hermione couldn't be happier. Hermione and Ron had to stay longer just to be safe.
With everything so chaotic, Luna volunteered, "I can watch them Harry. It's no problem."
Harry thanked her and Luna decided to take the kids back to the shop. She had to watch James, Albus, and Rose. It was only for a couple hours. She would be fine. First she took them upstairs and made them food, then they wanted to play. The three of them were running wild, and Luna kept finding them doing dangerous things. She found James throwing knives at apples, Albus was painting flowers on George's living room walls, and Rose decided to clog the sink and run the water so it was spilling over the edges, then all three of them found one of George's new inventions, and needless to say, all hell broke loose. Maybe, Luna thought, this is harder than I thought.
