Yes. I know. Everyone is mad at me. However, you might be a bit pleased about how this chapter ends. Someone dies.

Anyways, I think that by the end of this chapter, you all will see a bit of a conclusion, however there WILL be a sequel... one which will make up for all of the Harry/Ginny fighting that was in this one.

So, here you go! The last chapter of A Blossoming Romance

Chapter 26: Four Born, Completely Divided.
A few months passed. Ginny had skipped town with her parents and Ron and Hermione. Hermione had just given birth to her and Ron's first child, a girl named Cora Jayne. She was a little over three months old. Ginny was two weeks overdue with her and Harry's twins. The Weasleys were now living in Edinburgh, Scotland. James had just celebrated his first birthday. It had been a quiet affair, with only the Edinburgh Weasleys and Bill and Fleur and Fred and George present.

Ginny rested one hand on her large stomach and sat down on the wicker sofa in the sunroom. Hermione walked in with Cora in her arms.

"So, how much longer do you think I'll be?" Ginny asked Hermione as she tried to get comfortable.

"I don't know. It seems like those babies are never going to be born," Hermione said, smiling.

Ginny smiled. "I know. You know, if one of my babies is a girl, I was thinking about naming her Lily..."

"You still love him, don't you," Hermione said softly.

"How can I stop?" Ginny asked. "He was my first love... my only love."

"What are you going to name the babies if they're boys?" Hermione asked, trying to change the subject.

"I really like Benjamin Samuel. Or Zachary Ryan..."

"So do I," Hermione said enthusiastically.

"It's just--"

Ginny paused.

"What is it?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing," she said, frowning. "I just thought..."

"Contraction?" Hermione asked in concern.

"Maybe."

"Maybe you should talk to your mum. She'd probably be able to perform some kind of spell..."

"Hermione, I'm 2 weeks overdue. If she does some kind of spell, I'm probably NEVER going to have these babies."

Hermione giggled in a way Ginny had never heard her giggle. Hermione wasn't really a very gigglyish person, anyway. She couldn't help but laugh.

"Ummm... Hermione, we might need to go to the hospital. I think I did just have a contraction."

Hermione was on her feet in an instant. She bustled into the dining room where Mrs. Weasley was busy polishing silverware.

"She's going into labor," she said simply. Mrs. Weasley dropped a candelabra right on her foot.

"Oww! All right, dear. I'll be right there."

Mrs. Weasley grabbed Ginny's traveling cloak off of the cloakrack and headed to the sunroom.

Ginny was standing in the middle of the room, one hand over her large belly. Hermione was nowhere to be seen, so Mrs. Weasley hurried over to the fireplace in the next room and called for Ginny to come with her. She helped Ginny into the fireplace and threw a pinch of Floo Powder into it.

"St. Mungo's Maternity Ward!" she boomed.

With a flash of emerald smoke, Ginny was gone. Mrs. Weasley followed her.

Ginny regained her balance as a woman with dirty-dishwater-blonde hair came over to her.

"Ginny! How are you?"

Ginny was quick to overcome her shock of seeing her old friend.

"Luna. I just went into labor," Ginny said.

"Come on, Ginny," Luna said, conjuring a wheelchair.

Luna wheeled Ginny into a nearby delivery room and helped her into the bed. She pointed her wand at Ginny's stomach and frowned.

"What?" Ginny asked, panicking.

"One of the babies is in a transverse position. We're going to have to do a magical delivery."

Ginny fell backwards into the bed, groaning.

"You've got to be kidding me," she said, covering up her face in frustration.

"I'm serious," Luna said. She ran into the hallway and came back with two other nurses, one with red hair and a kindly expression on her face and one with brown hair and rosy cheeks.

The two nurses began setting things up for the delivery.

"Okay, Ginny," Luna said. "You're going to feel a bit of pulling and stretching but it shouldn't hurt too much. I'm going to give you a bit of extra pain medication, just to make sure it doesn't wear off. You should be glad you're having twins instead of just one baby!" Luna said, grinning jovially.

Grateful as she was to have Luna attending to her, Ginny couldn't help but want to smack her.

Luna pointed her wand at Ginny's stomach. She felt her stomach grow even harder (if that was even possible) and then loosen somewhat. Luna picked up her wand and to Ginny's amazement, Luna pulled back her wand. Ginny felt a pulling and stretching sensation as her baby was pulled through her stomach wall.

She closed her eyes until the baby was completely out. When she opened them, she saw a head of black hair.

"It's a boy!" Luna said, handing the baby to the brown haired nurse. She began cleaning him while Luna adverted her attention back to Ginny.

She pulled her wand down again and Ginny closed her eyes, knowing what was going to happen next.

The same pulling and stretching sensation happened again and within a minute or so, Ginny's second baby was born.

"It's another boy!" Luna said. She put the nearly identical baby next to his brother. She pointed her wand back at Ginny's stomach and Ginny gave an involuntary shudder and her stomach tightened back to reveal washboard abs.

"Geez... I should get pregnant more often!" she said, looking down at her stomach.

Luna smiled. She picked up one of Ginny's babies and handed him to her.

"Have you decided on names?" she asked.

"Well..." she said, thinking back on the names she had mentioned before she went into labor. "I really like Benjamin Samuel... I guess I'll name the oldest one that. And I'll name the other one... Zachary Ryan."

"Are you sure?" Luna asked.

Ginny nodded.

"Can you bring Mum in here?" she asked.

"Of course. Anything else?"

"No. I think that'll be all."

The redheaded nurse brought Ginny's other son back to her and she cuddled her newborn twins.

A couple of months passed. Harry knew Ginny must have given birth to the twins by now. He tried to make himself comfortable with Chivan and the prospect of starting a new family with her. But it was hard. He had loved Ginny with all of his heart and he knew that cheating on her was the worst thing he could have ever done.

But Chivan thought Harry loved her unconditionally. Their baby was due in a little over a month. Chivan had thrown herself into planning every detail for their daughter's birth and Harry seemed to just be along for the ride.

But Chivan figured that Harry would warm up to the new life they had created for themselves once their daughter was born.

"Harry!" Chivan called.

Harry didn't even stir. He didn't want to get up out of bed at all... it had been a long night at the Quidditch field after the game and Harry just wanted to sleep in.

A loud crash racked the house and Harry bolted out of bed.

He rushed down the stairs to find Chivan in the kitchen, her lifeless form collapsed in the middle of the floor.

He tried to revive her, but to no avail. He picked up her small, lifeless body and Apparated out of the house.

He arrived at St. Mungo's a split second later. A nearby Healer came over to him and was shocked to see Chivan in his arms.

"What happened to her?" the Healer asked as they rushed up the stairs.

"I don't know... I just heard a loud crash and she was in the kitchen... on the floor. And she wouldn't wake up."

"Mr. Potter, I think it would be best if you would just stay out here," the doctor said, a grim expression on his face. He placed Chivan on a stretcher and Harry was left sitting in the waiting room.

Harry waited for what seemed like hours.

"Mr. Potter?" a small voice echoed.

Harry looked around. A small short nurse smiled up at him sadly.

"Is she okay?" he asked, fearing the answer.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Potter. We couldn't save her..."

"And the baby?"

"Come with me."

Harry followed the nurse into the nursery. She led him into a small room, where four tiny babies lay. The nurse walked over to one of the incubators and lifted out a tiny baby girl.

"Mr. Potter, meet your daughter," the nurse said.

"Wow..." Harry said. The baby was so small. She had Chivan's almond shaped eyes, lips, and high cheekbones, with a full head of black hair. She had Harry's nose and face shape. Harry thought she was beautiful.

The nurse handed the baby to Harry.

"I'll give you some time to get acquainted," she said.

Harry gazed down at his infant daughter.

"Rose," he whispered to her.

Six months passed.

Harry was at Rose's six month check up. He bounced her on one knee. She giggled shrilly and smiled.

A little boy toddled over to Harry. His messy black hair looked so familiar...

"James, come here," a woman's voice called.

It was Hermione. And the little boy was James. His James.

"Hermione?" Harry called. Hermione froze.

"Harry?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said.

"I can't believe it's you!" she said, smiling brightly.

"Is that...?" Harry asked, not daring to finish.

"Yes... this is James. Look, Harry. I've got to go. James is supposed to be back home at 3:00... Ginny's waiting with the twins..."

"The twins? Were they boys? Girls?"

"Harry... I can't do this... Ginny should be the one to tell you. Where's Chivan?"

"She died, Hermione. I'm all alone..."

"Oh... I'm sorry. Look, ummn... would you like me to give Ginny a message for you?"

"Just tell her I miss her. And that I still love her..." Harry said, choking up.

Hermione hugged Harry quickly.

"Look, Harry... here's my number. Just call me later... I've got to get back to the house..."

"Hermione?"

"Yes?" Hermione paused, picking up James.

"I'm sorry... for what all happened. Can you make sure Ron knows that?"

"I can try... But Harry, I'm the only one that forgives you for what happened. I'm not sure trying to get him to forgive you is such a good idea...

"Look, you should go... Your daughter..."

"Her name is Rose," Harry said, smiling.

"She's beautiful. I'm sure that she'll have just as much fun at Hogwarts as you did... and maybe she'll meet her brothers there..." Hermione gave a surreptious wink.

"Bye, Hermione, James..." Harry said, as they walked out the door. And out of Harry's life completely. At least for the time being.

Hopefully that was a good enough conclusion. The sequel should be up soon. I figured this was a pretty good story, overall. Anyways, please review!!!!
