Chapter 11:
Mr Weasley walked through the noisy rooms of St Mungo's, he stopped as he saw his family sitting around quite a large table, each of them with a refreshment in there hands, they did not seem to be talking about anything, in fact they all seemed to be in deep thought, most likely trying to figure out who the father of Ginny's baby was and how they could of missed all the signs.
Mrs Weasley saw her husband continue to walk towards the family with a smile on his face; she waited patiently to hear what he had to say.
She did not know how she was feeling or what she actually wanted to hear come from his mouth, all she knew was that she wanted the knot in her stomach to go away, and for the night to come to an end, so she could start tomorrow fresh.
"Molly we should go home and fill everyone in on the situation, I also have some more details to discuss with you and would prefer it if we talked in the comfort of our own house." Mr Weasley insisted.
Mrs Weasley nodded her head and took the initiative to stand, everyone else followed suit except Tonks and Harry, who told them they were going to go and find out what changes need to be made to the house to help Ginny over the next few months.
Mr Weasley nodded and thanked them for taking care of those particular things.
Mr Weasley also invited them to join the family for dinner the following night if they were not too busy, it had been pretty exhausting with everything that had been happening and he wanted to get back to some version of normalcy.
They both agreed to the diner invitation and walked away once all the Weasley's had disappeared from the room, they continued to walk until they reached the door to Ginny's room.
Ginny was sound asleep, and Lupin had seen a shadow appear under the door, realising someone was there he moved Ginny's arm off of his chest and slid from the bed trying not to wake her, he then walked across the room and opened the door before Harry had had chance to knock.
He walked further out the door and closed it quietly behind him with one finger to his lips, letting Harry and Tonks know to be quiet.
"Ginny's sleeping, how is everything?" Lupin asked.
"Well it's good she is able to get some rest, I don't think she has been sleeping much you know since she had to leave." Harry replied.
They discussed what was going to happen next, and even made a joke about cutting a hole in the mattress so that Ginny could sleep on her stomach as the time went on.
Lupin informed them that she would be permanently living with him and that he would like it very much if Harry would move back to the house.
Lupin was shocked when Harry refused and said he had a better idea, he did not think that Grimuald place was good enough for them all to live in with Ginny in her condition and had a plan, that he would share with them over the next few days.
Tonks and Lupin wondered what he was up to and stared at him.
"Remus, where are you?" Ginny's voice came from inside the room.
Lupin smiled and opened the door, gesturing for Tonks and Harry to follow him inside.
"I was just outside beautiful, Harry and Tonks wanted to know if they could do anything to help." Lupin responded.
Ginny sat herself up and asked Lupin to get her a drink, then they all sat down and talked about everything they could possibly think of.
"What gender do you want the baby to be?" Asked Harry.
Lupin and Ginny looked at each other and smiled, Ginny got her answer in before Lupin had even opened his mouth.
"I want a boy, but most of all I just want it too be healthy and happy."
Lupin looked at Ginny and smiled he resumed his spot on the bed next to her and kissed her fore head.
"Well all I hope is that he or she is as good looking as you." Lupin laughed.
Over the next few hours they went through baby names and the dreams they had for the not yet born child.
They came to the conclusion that he or she would go to Hogwarts when the time came and that they would be home schooled until then, they would excel in their studies and love playing Quidditch, and that they would have a hidden passion for mischief. They all laughed for some time, when the doctors came in and told them that both Ginny and the baby were fine, and that they think the pain was from stress that was on Ginny's body.
They told them she was allowed to go home but had to come back every few weeks for a check up.
Ginny and Lupin agreed and started to get there stuff together, then they all apperated home where they sat around the kitchen table, everyone but Ginny drinking fire whisky to toast to the new baby, and the beginning of something new.
The following few days went rather quickly, Harry was not around much and just said he was going shopping when he was asked about his time away.
Tonks and Harry had gone to the Weasley's as planned for Dinner the night after Ginny had gotten out of the Hospital, most of the night had been quiet and the only person really making any conversation was Mr Weasley, Mrs Weasley just nodded at the appropriate times and they Weasley boys were discussing the joke shop business and Quidditch.
Tonks and Harry had not yet decided on wether they would get back together or not, in fact when ever Tonks and Ginny were left in the house alone they talked about everything, Tonks had continuously told Ginny that she was waiting for a sign to tell her that it was meant to be, and would wait for as long as she needed too for that day to come.
Ginny and Lupin spent a lot of there time trying to catch up on the time they had lost while they had been apart.
They talked about all sorts of things, Ginny told Tonks one day that it was like it had been just after they had discovered thee feelings for one another, they shared everything, there hopes and dreams and everything in between, sometimes till the early hours of the morning.
"Let's talk about names for the baby Remus!" Ginny said one cold wet night, it was quite late when they had last looked at the clock, they were snuggled up in bed under blankets, it looked like two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly with each other, lupin had his arms around Ginny, she had her back towards him, his knees were tucked in behind hers and his head just above hers, every now and then he would blow a strand of hair away from his face so that he didn't need to move any other part of his body.
"Ok Ginny, but I think we should start concentrating on names when we know if it's a he or a she." Lupin said smiling.
"Yeah your right sweetie, we should wait and see." Ginny responded, she rolled over slightly and moved her lips to his, kissing him gently.
Lupin was given silent permission to deepen the kiss, he caressed her tongue with his and moved one of his hands up her thigh, the other was placed beneath her neck.
Harry was in the lounge room having a drink, he looked to be in deep thought, he had his other hand in his pocket playing with an object.
A grin came to his face and he put down his drink, he then went to the door and apperated.
Tonks walked into the lounge room and spotted the drink, she wondered where he had gone this time and thought that maybe the sign she wanted would never come.
Soft music and candle light filled the small bedroom that Ginny and Lupin were occupying, deep breathing and hearts pounding, they looked deeply into each others eyes, it was as if they could look past the person and into the depths of there souls.
"I love you Ginny." Lupin announced, his voice shaking slightly.
Ginny smiled, "I love you too Remus," she leant forward running her hands up his bare back and pulled him into a fiery, heart pounding kiss.
After an Hour or so had passed and if you opened the curtains you could see a redness too the sky where the sun was starting to rise, and begin its day.
Ginny and Lupin were asleep in each others arms, smiles burrowed into there faces as they dreamed of their life together and there unborn child growing up.
The front door of the house opened slowly, and Harry crept into the kitchen hoping no one was awake and that he would not wake anyone up with his early morning return from the unknown.
"Busted," Tonks said, she laughed when Harry jumped looking around for where the words had come from.
Tonks was sat at the table, until Harry had turned the corner he had not seen her, he smiled at her and asked what she was doing up so early.
"Well I could ask the same for you, but I know that you have not been home since last night, I couldn't sleep so I stayed up and read a little, I just put the pot on would you like a coffee?" Tonks said inquisitively.
Harry's smile broadened. "I thought you'd never ask! Why couldn't you sleep? I have been busy but all will be revealed when everyone is up and awake."
Tonks smiled and got out of her seat she walked over and made some coffee and then got a start on some breakfast, she was excited that there was a surprise and thought maybe the smell of food would wake Ginny and Lupin, Ginny was now able to smell what you were cooking before you had even started and she was using it to her own advantage this morning.
For the first time, when the smell of eggs and bacon filled the air it was not Ginny who woke up but Lupin, he slid out of bed and got dressed making sure to kiss Ginny on the forehead and then leave the room before he woke her up.
He made his way to the kitchen and was surprised to see Tonks cooking, they had always thought it would be very dangerous for her to be in the kitchen due to how clumsy she is but it looked like she was doing a rather good job.
Lupin asked her to put some on a plate for Ginny and he would take it into her, he needed to talk to her in private and thought back to something Ginny had once said not too long ago.
"Never come between a pregnant woman and her food, you will regret it."
Lupin smiled when he thought back to this, and then walked over to the small study off of the lounge room, he entered and closed the door behind him and walked over to the small desk, he got the key to the locked draw and opened it, taking something out and placing it in his pocket, he then locked the draw again and left the room returning to the kitchen minutes later.
He watched as Tonks filled two plates, she handed one to Harry and then one to Lupin filling another for herself, leaving enough in the pan in case Lupin came back and grabbed some.
Lupin said thank you and then took a deep breath. "Wish me luck," He giggled slightly.
Tonks and Harry just looked at him wondering what he needed luck for; they wished him luck anyway and watched as he moved down the hall balancing the tray on one hand and the other hand in his pocket.
When Lupin opened the door, Ginny was still asleep, he had hoped she would be so that he could get her breakfast right, he took the item out of his pocket and took a small rose from the vase near by, he placed everything on the try, he then walked closer to Ginny and put the tray down on the bedside table, he sat on the edge of the bed and ran his fingers through her hair, he then leant in to kiss her, when he had gotten to her lips he was shocked, she had beaten him to it and started to kiss him, pulling him slowly on to the bed.
Lupin pulled away and smiled at her, "I brought breakfast up, beautiful."
Ginny grinned and whispered something in his ear; Lupin gulped and went slightly red in the face, "No Ginny, I'm not on the menu this morning." Lupin replied smiling to her whispered comments.
Ginny sat up and got comfortable as Lupin put the tray on her lap, Lupin sat ready to watch Ginny eat breakfast when she looked at him and smiled cheekily.
"You can share with me on one condition!" Ginny said
"What's that Ginny?" He asked in reply
"You're on the dinner menu,"
Lupin laughed and told her she had a deal, they then sat eating and talking. When Ginny had finished the last of her breakfast she was admiring the rose Lupin had left on the plate, before she could pick it up he stopped her and picked it up instead, and smiling he got off the bed, he looked down at Ginny and handed her the rose telling her it was no where near as beautiful as she was.
Ginny blushed slightly and smiled at him, she took the rose and went to smell it, a little reflection of light from the rose made her look down, a huge grin forming on her face, she looked back up to Lupin.
"Remus…!" Ginny gasped.
Lupin got down on one knee, and smiled at her.
"I know that we have had rough times and I guarantee there will be more down the road, but I also know that as long as we stick together we can rise above any challenge put in our path, Ginny I have been waiting my whole life to find someone like you, you are the most amazing woman I have ever met and I never want to let go of you again. Ginny I love you! Will you marry me?"
