Chapter 15:

The next two months went by very quickly. Ginny was now eight months pregnant, and both her and Lupin were loving married life.
They had been inseparable after the wedding and had not left each others sides since.

Tonks and Harry were much the same, there was never a moment where you saw them more then an arms width apart from each other, they spent most of their spare time planning what they were hoping would be the best wedding ever, the one and only day that they would get to tell, and show, absolutely everyone they knew just how much they loved each other.

The Weasley family had come to accept that Ginny and Lupin were together and were going to stay that way for as long as they lived. Ron, however, still could not accept either relationship. Tonks and Harry, and Lupin and Ginny just were not right when it came to how Ron thought and felt.

Hermione was spending a lot of time with the happy couples, she saw them as hope. She too hoped to be that happy one day, even if she had to go through all the hard times that they had gone through, she would, to get to this particular place in life.

It was now midnight in the shared house of the Lupin and the soon-to-be Potter families and the house was quiet and dark. Both couples had turned in hours before hand, wanting to get an early night.

Suddenly a scream was heard echoing within the once quiet house.
Ginny awoke screaming in pain, clutching her abdomen; all that was going through her head was that it was too soon.

Lupin woke to her screams and put his arm around her, he switched on the bedside lamp and asked her what was happening, but before Ginny could answer Tonks and Harry walked in just as Ginny let out another scream, clutching at her abdomen again.

Lupin helped Ginny out of bed as the pain started to dull, even though Ginny knew that it would be returning shortly, but as they moved a gasp was heard from Tonks, who had spotted a small pool of blood in the bed when Ginny had been pulled from her spot.

Before anything could register in the brains of the rooms occupants, Ginny collapsed to the floor, hanging slightly off Lupin as he was holding on to her waist.
Everyone panicked, and after a minute went by, the suggestion to get her to St Mungo's was taken. They walked out of the bedroom and grabbed a few things; including the bag Ginny and Lupin had packed to go to the hospital with. The trip there was short but uncomfortable, Tonks had tears in her eyes as the woman that had become her best friend was unconscious and bleeding, and the man she had known and been friends with for quiet some time was trying to comprehend what was happening.

When they arrived at the hospital they walked straight up to the desk, and without even saying anything were pulled into a room and seen straight away. Lupin was asked to wait outside with Tonks and Harry as the doctors got a better idea of what was wrong, or of what was happening. Everyone just kept repeating, "But she isn't due for another month."

After an hour of pacing up and down the corridor outside Ginny's room, where her condition was unknown to anyone outside her room, a doctor walked out and asked to speak to Lupin. Lupin stood and asked that Harry and Tonks stayed, as anything that was told would be needed to be repeated to family members and such after it was announced anyway.

They all stood close to the doctor as he told them the diagnosis. Lupin was staring blankly into space as the doctor walked back into Ginny's room, Tonks and Harry helped him to a seat and looked at each other with blank stare, neither knew how to help their friends.

The only thing that was now going through Lupins head was to see Ginny. When the next doctor came out they told him he could see her, but it could only be one at a time, due to the exhaustion of the patient. Lupin walked in and went straight up to the side of Ginny's bed; he sat down on the edge and scooped Ginny up into a hug, not saying a word, just being there.

While Lupin was in with Ginny, Tonks thought it might be a good idea to ring the family and let them know what had been happing during this very long night.
They walked out of the small waiting room, but before they got to the phones they had decided that they would tell them in person.

They apperated to the burrow and let themselves into the kitchen with the hidden key. They switched on the lights and were amazed at the fact they didn't even need to go up and wake anyone. Before they had even got the door closed a congregation of Weasley's stood before them. Tonks and Harry ushered them to sit at the table, and after every last person was sitting, they slowly told them what had happened.

How Ginny had woken up during the night screaming, and how the doctors had come out and told them all that Ginny was fine, but that she had lost the child she was pregnant with.

Lupin and Ginny had decided that even thought their baby was never born, they would honour the life they had wished for it, they made their way down to a small tree shaded area at the back of the house. It was far away enough from the lake, but even so, you could stilt smell and hear the water, as a breeze picked up.

It had been a few days since Ginny had been allowed out of the hospital, she and Lupin had talked a lot and had decided that this might give not only them closer but also let their babies spirit and soul move on to what they hoped would be a better life.

They had come to accept that the baby may have been just away of fate pushing them together, and that taking that fate away from them might just be a test of how strong their relationship really was.

A few chairs lay empty but the largest percent of them were filled with family and friends, even a few people from the hospital were seated, they had gotten to know the couple so well that they were classed as friends to many.

Tonks and Harry had delayed any plans for the wedding until they could see how everyone was coping with the sudden loss of a life that would have been a joy for all and maybe even someone that had sewn up the small drift between families.

A soft mellow musical tune was floating of the witches and wizards that were morning, it was Fawkes, he had accompanied Dumbledore, he was flying around the large group, and he could feel the pain of the people gathered there and in a way was trying to sooth them and himself.

A name rested on a small tombstone, where the body was buried now, the baby had been of the male gender and had been named by his parents before that dreadful night. Benjamin Arthur Lupin. A small message placed under the name said, an angel that will forever have hold of our hearts.

Ginny dropped to her knees and ran a finger across the engraved name, a tear falling from her open eyes, as she mouthed the words, I love you.

Lupin got on his knees, behind Ginny, and put his arms around her, his face tear stained, he kissed Ginny's head, and placed a flower on the grave, trying not to give into the tears that threatened to emerge at anytime now.

The only thoughts were of staying strong for Ginny, she needed him, and he knew that he would get the proper time to grieve later but for right now, Ginny was the only thing he was concerned about.

Even after everyone left, Ginny and Lupin were still knelt down by there unborn child's grave, the thoughts and feelings going through there heads, were unbelievable and unknown to the other.

Just one thought of love, a memory, something else they have had to over come in the short amount of time they had been together.

And a feeling of being overwhelmed, not knowing why they could not bare to stand up and walk away from what they had created, almost as if it would then become a reality, that he was gone, the one good thing that was created amongst all the madness from the past few months.

As the sun started to fall, the sky blackened, and through the tears that were still falling a few shining stars came out, as if it was a sign that it was time to have faith and a time to get up and move on, as if the sky had told them that there are lots of beautiful things in this world and most of them are still a mystery, but the one thing that is for certain is that life does not get better and people do not get stronger unless they pick themselves up when they fall and move on, to be apart of the beauty and mystery that the world and the sky represent.

In the background a whistling of birds and a soft wind blowing, signalling that it was time, Ginny looked at lupin, he moved his hand around to her face and wiped away the last tear that had just fallen from her eyes, he helped her onto her feet and turned her to face him.

"It's time to go inside now my love, but we will never forget, this is a memory that will stay with us and help us grow stronger, just remember that." He said as he leant down and kissed her fore head.

Ginny looked up at him and nodded; she leant into him, placing most of her weight against his body. "Please don't ever leave me Remus."

Lupin smiled half heartedly, "what gives you the impression that I'm going anywhere Ginny?"

"Just promise me, I don't ever want to feel this pain again, I just don't know what I would do if I ever lost you as well."

"I promise sweet heart, I don't want to go anywhere, I am exactly where I want to be, right here with you and the future we have together." He replied.

Lupin and Ginny started to walk back into the house, as they got to the door, they turned, and Lupin whispered, "Goodnight my little man, we will never forget you." A single tear escaping, he pulled Ginny in close and helped her further into the house, they closed the door and made there way inside, both thinking of the good memories they had together, both very glad that they had each others love and had each other to lean on and talk to.
