Chapter 16: All Is Well That Ends Well

The next few weeks were very quiet on the home front. Ginny and Lupin spent there time trying to get over the depression of loosing someone that was close to there hearts and Harry and Tonks kept away, knowing that they needed there time, together so that they could heal properly. At times the quiet felt more depressing then the sock of the actual lose, things were not going to go back to normal for a very long time, and everyone knew it.

It had now been a two weeks since the death of their child and it would have been two more weeks before they would have been born, if they had been on time.

When Ginny suddenly started having pains, everyone said it was most likely a phantom pain, her body still not coping or not realising that the baby was no longer there, they still took all the precautions though and took her to the hospital, due to the recent disaster.

When Lupin, Ginny Harry and Tonks all arrived at the hospital, they were directed straight to an empty office. They sat there and waited for a doctor to arrive, Ginny was having stronger pains now, almost mimicking the pains she had, had that dreadful night that everyone wished they could forget about and move forward from.

It took the doctor a whole ten minutes to see them and if they did not know any better they would have said that he only came in due to Ginny's high-pitched screams.

He got Ginny to lie down on the bed and asked for everyone else to wait outside, Lupin refused on the spot saying that he had not been in the room the last time she had been in this amount of pain and had promised her that he would not leave her again. The doctor argued with him but eventually gave in, Harry and Tonks waited outside wondering what was going to happen this time.

While outside, they could still hear Ginny's screams and the worried voice of Lupin continuously asking what was wrong with his wife.

But the doctor never gave an answer, they had been sat outside now for an hour, two more doctors and two nurses had joined the couple inside, and still no news about what could possibly be wrong, or even happening with in the four walls surrounding Ginny and Lupin.

A few diagnosis had been made inside the room by now but none of them explained the pain that Ginny was in or why it kept getting worse, then they reviewed her chart and realised that there was only two things it could be, but they had a hunch, the doctors asked lupin what had happened almost a year ago, when Ginny was brought into the hospital with a broken heart. Lupin explained exactly what had happened and asked what would happen if she did have another broken heart, the doctors told him that, knowing that this one could not be fixed due to the reason it was broken; it was most likely that she would not make it through the night.

Lupin let Ginny know that he was not leaving, that he was just going to go and let Harry and Tonks know what was happening so that they could call her parents and family, to let them know what was happening. He swore to her that he would be back in a few minutes.

He left the room after placing a kiss on Ginny's hot red face, he whispered in her ear that he loved her, and finally left the room.

When Harry and Tonks saw the door open, they raced to there feet and waited for news. Lupin closed the door behind him and sat down on the closest chair, he placed his head in his hands and begged himself to hold it in, to keep strong, he could not show Ginny or anyone else just how much his insides were slowly dying, one by one, piece by piece, he did not know how he was ever going to cope without the woman that he loved.

He asked them to sit down and took a deep breathe as he told them the doctors diagnosis, he asked them to make the appropriate calls and to ask her family to get here as soon as possible, the doctors did not know how long she may last.

Tonks could not move she could not keep her emotions at bay and broke down in tears as Lupin had told them she may not make it through the night, Harry on the other hand had dealt with death a lot in his life and knew that he could keep strong, until after the moment, he could then take all the time he needs to break down, but right now, Tonks needed him and so did Lupin, Harry could see that Lupin was trying to be brave and strong and admired him for that, because he knew that even as strong as he is being now, if it had been Tonks in that bed, he would have been a bumbling mess by now.

After a few minutes of silence went by, Lupin got up and told them he had to go back to Ginny, he could not let her go without a fight, and he would appreciate it if they made the calls, Harry nodded his head and told Tonks to stay here in case there was anymore news, she agreed silently and watched as both Lupin and Harry walked out of the room she was sat in.

Lupin walked back into the room Ginny was in, he sat in the chair closest to the bed and took her hand as she screamed in agony, he could see she was exhausted, and he held her hand tight.

He pulled the chair closer still and leant over to whisper in her ear.

"Ginny, listen to me, hold on, don't leave." He whispered as a tear fell from his eyes.

"Sweet heart, I can't let you leave me, I need you, Ginny I love you more then life itself, and If you leave me I don't know what I will do."

By this time Lupin was on the verge of breaking, his voice was cracking as he drove back the tears and continued, but this time he was not talking to Ginny but what ever higher power there might be watching and waiting.

"Take me instead he cried, I cant live with out her, and her family needs her, she is so young, please I beg of you take me instead." He placed his head on the edge of the bed and sobbed, he just could not fight the tears any longer.

A few minutes went by and Lupin lifted his head, he placed a small kiss on Ginny's dry lips, "I tried sweet heart I really tried, please I love you don't go away, I can't do this alone."

Ginny asked him slowly to come a little closer, Lupin moved in as he strained to hear her words.

"I love you Remus, never forget that, please I don't think I have much time left, I want you to do something for me, after I'm gone, I want to be next to our son, I will always watch over you my sweet, and I will never forget the love we have."

Before Ginny could hear the words coming from Lupins Mouth everything went dark.

Lupin saw her eyes close, he kissed her hand, "I promise sweet heart, I love you, I will miss you, Goodbye." He got up and placed a small kiss on her fore head before falling to the ground and breaking down in tears...

When Ginny's eyes opened again, a bright light made her squint; when her senses adjusted she could hear the cry of a baby and the sound of a man whispering a lullaby.

A flash of memory came upon her, as a tear came to her eye, when she thought of leaving Lupin and her family, but she was happy that she at least got to say goodbye. Then she heard a voice whispering to her.

"Sweetheart, open your eyes, and see what you did." The voice whispered.

Ginny felt a warm sensation as someone kissed her forehead.

Ginny opened her eyes wider, the light was almost blinding, they adjusted to the light quickly, when she took a better look around she could make out a few objects and soon realised that she was still in the hospital.

Lupin was stood beside her and he was holding something, when she got a better look at what he was holding she realised it was a baby, bundled up in a blue blanket, the infant was sucking on a bottle, and crying in between sucks. Ginny really thought she must have been in heaven, but then the doctor walked in and started to check her out. She knew it was going to sound silly, but she asked the doctor anyway.

"What happened, am I dead?" Ginny asked.

"No Mrs Lupin far from it actually."

"It seems you passed out from the pain, it can happen, we have seen a lot of women pass out from the pain of child birth." The Doctor continued.

Ginny looked at him, confused.

"But I lost my baby, a few weeks ago, what do you mean?"

The doctor looked at Ginny and smiled, "Well as far as we can tell, when you were pregnant, you were actually having twins, when you bled out though, only one of the babies actually died, but at that time we did not realise you were having twins and assumed that you were no longer pregnant."

"Then last night you went into labour with your surviving child, but we did not realise that that was the cause of your pain, due to the fact we did not know the baby existed."

"I know it is a lot to take in, but the shortened version is, you are your husband are the proud parents of a perfect baby boy." The doctor finished.

Lupin walked over to Ginny smiling, "so do you want to hold our son Ginny?" "I know he has been dying to meet you."

Ginny smiled at Lupin, she still could not help but feel like she was dreaming, everything that had gone wrong over the last few months and now for the first time in a long time, everything was just the way she had imagined it, she was with the man she loved, and they now had the most beautiful baby boy.

Lupin placed their new baby in Ginny's arms. He was small but perfect, he had little red tuffs of hair, and brown eyes, when he looked up at Ginny he smiled, and grabbed her finger. Ginny laughed and a tear escaped her eyes, she was just so happy.

After a few minutes, Lupin asked Ginny with a broad grin on his face, if she was up to a few more visitors, Ginny agreed and Lupin walked over to the door, when he opened it and he told everyone outside of the room to come on in.

Ginny's eyes lit up as her whole family, Harry, Tonks and Hermione all piled into the room, shouting their congratulations, they all had balloons, flowers and gifts that they had most likely bought from the hospital shop, but Ginny didn't care about the gifts, having her family there smiling and speaking baby, to her new son, was enough of a gift.

"So Ginny, what's his name?" Fred and George asked.

Ginny looked over at Lupin, "We actually haven't named him yet." Lupin responded.

They sat there thinking for a while when Ginny and Lupin piped up. "We have a name for him." Lupin said while smiling.

Ginny looked over at her anxious family. "His name will be Patrick Remus Lupin, after his father..." Ginny responded.

Lupin went red, "that was not the name I thought he was going to have Ginny." He said trying not to sound so excited at the prospect that his son was being named after him.

Ginny smiled, "well I can change it if you like Remus." She replied in a teasing voice.

Lupin and Ginny along with everyone else in the room laughed.

Lupin sat on the bed, and put his arms around Ginny who was still nursing Patrick, he looked down at his son. "Welcome to the family mate." He said as Patrick took his finger as well, gripping it tight.

He then moved his head closer to Ginny's. "We did it sweet heart, thank you for giving me everything I ever wanted, thank you for loving me. I love you Ginny." He whispered, so that only Ginny could hear.

Ginny looked up and kissed him passionately. "No Remus thank you, I love you too."

Ok now for something I have always wanted to do….LOL.

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER……………THE END…
