Harry and Ginny Pottter had been married for almost four years and life couldn't be better for either of them. Harry was steadily moving up in the Auror department at the Ministry of Magic and Ginny was doing well with her job at St. Mungos. But Ginny was afraid that all of this was about to change.
She had been very sick over the last few weeks and she couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. She had a terrible feeling that it was going to be something that was very serious. Today while she was at work she felt aweful and had some tests run just to check everything out. Now as she sat in the waiting room she felt even worse because of her fear that something was wrong.
After a few moments a Healer came in and ushered her into his office. As Ginny sat down he started, "Well, Mrs. Potter, your test results for spattergoit came back negative as well as your results for cancer which I believe were your two greatest concerns." "Yes, that wonderful!'' Ginny said. "But," the Healer continued, "we did run one other test that came back positive." "Oh no, what is it?" Ginny asked fearing the worst.
"Well Mrs. Potter, it seems that you are going to have a baby." Ginny's jaw dropped. "I'm going to h-have a-a w-what?" "A baby." The Healer said smiling. "A baby? How did that happen??" The Healer cleared his throat, "Well Mrs. Potter I thought that was kind of obvious but…." "Oh no," Ginny said, "I know how, but…..how?"
Ginny had to keep reminding herself to breathe. What would Harry say? She wasn't ready for a baby and neither was he. Ginny had always wanted to have a family, but she didn't feel like she was able to be responsible for a human life right now.
As she left the hospital and began her walk home she started to panic. What if Harry flipped out and didn't want it? They were both so busy with their jobs, they didn't have time to raise a baby. Ginny knew it must have happened a few weeks ago on Valentines day. Harry had been so romantic….she supposed they just weren't as careful as they usually were.
As she walked up to their front door she saw a letter taped to it. GINNY POTTER was clearly written on the outside of the envelope. Ginny reached up and took it down and opened it to read the letter.
Dearest Ginny,
Happy anniversery darling! I have a very special evening planned for us. You have a present waiting for you on the bed. Put it on and meet me at the park at 7:30 for a picnic!
All my love,
Harry
Their anniversery? How could she forget? She never forgot things like this. She supposed with her unexpected sickness over the last few weeks it had just slipped her mind.
As she walked into the house and into the bedroom she saw a white box lying on the bed with a dozen red roses resting on top. She walked over to it and opened it. Inside was a gorgeous, strapless, black cocktail dress. A few months ago she had seen this very dress when she was shopping with Harry. She rememebered how she had thrown a fit over how beautiful it was, and now here it is.
Ginny took a quick shower and thought about how she would tell Harry about the baby. She knew she had to tell him tonight, she didn't want to keep it from him. The whole thing made her feel as if she had a huge weight dropped onto her shoulders.
After she was completely dressed and had her hair and make-up done she still had no idea how to tell him. She pulled on her favorite pair of black pumps and put on her favorite white gold hoops and walked into their backyard. She then stopped and, shaking, turned on the spot and apparated to the park.
When she opened her eyes again she was standing in her favorite park. This park was where Harry had proposed to her and where a few months later they were married. It was an open grassy meadow surrounded by trees with a small playground over to one side and a huge hill that she loved to sit on and look at the stars.
As Ginny walked up the hill she saw Harry. He was dressed in a nice suit and tie that she had given to him for Christmas. Just behind him was a small table set for two with a white table cloth draped over it and rose petals scattered across it and two beautiful candles lit in the middle.
"Ginny, you look stunning!" Harry stepped forward and kissed her on the cheek and gave her a hug. "You're not so bad yourself!" she replied. Harry grabbed her hand and led her to the table and seated her. She looked down and saw a wonderful plate of her favorite pasta before her. "Harry, did you make this all by yourself?"
"Well, Ron helped a little bit." he chuckled. Ron had recently proven himself quite the cook since he and Hermione had been married. "Well it looks absolutely delicious!" she said and Harry smiled. "Well go ahead and tuck in!" Ginny laughed.
They made small talk over dinner and discussed their jobs and how their day had been. As Harry took the last bite of his pasta Ginny knew that the time was getting closer for her to tell him.
"Harry," she started. "No, wait Ginny, I want to give you my gift first!" he smiled. "I thought the dress and the dinner were my gifts?" "Well, just one more thing." he said. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box and passed it to her across the table. "Harry," "No go ahead and open it!" he said. She opened the box and there was a gorgeous necklace inside. It was a spiral of diamonds on a white gold chain. "Harry, it's gorgeous!" she whispered. Harry walked around to her and fastened it around her neck. "Happy Anniversery" he said. He leaned in and gave her a quick peck then walked back to his seat on the other side of the table. "Harry, I love it."
Ginny knew now was the time. She thought that maybe the sooner she told him then maybe he wouldn't be so mad. "Harry, there's something I have to tell you. Over the past few weeks, you know, I haven't been feeling very well." "Yeah, but it's just a bug or something right?" he asked. "Well, not exactly. I had some tests run today while I was at work and…" "Ginny, are you ok? Whatever it is I promise we will get through it alright?" Ginny looked at him and saw the concern etched onto his face. "No, Harry, what I'm trying to tell you is……I'm p-pregnant." She finally said. Ginny felt like she was going to cry. She couldn't meet Harry's eyes, so she just simply looked at her hands as they played with the hem of her dress on her lap.
"You're pregnant?" he asked. Ginny just simply nodded her head still not looking at him. Harry jumped out of his seat and shouted, "I'm going to be a father?" For the first time since she said it she looked at Harry. He had a huge smile on his face and his eyes were glowing. "Yes, you are." she said. Harry ran around the table and gave her a huge hug lifting her off of her chair and twirling her around.
"Ginny, this is the best gift you could ever have given me!" Ginny giggled, "Really?" "YES!" he screamed. He brought her down and kissed her so passionately it took her breath away. He gave her another hug and said, "Oh Ginny, I love you! I am so happy!" "Really?" she asked again, " You're not mad?" "How could I be mad? All I have ever wanted was to be a father! This is truly the best thing ever!"
Harry then got on his knees and placed his head on Ginny's stomach. "Hello in there! It's daddy! I can't wait to meet you! I'm going to teach you how to play Quidditch ad exploding snap…..we are going to have so much fun!" As Harry looked up and saw the tears puring down Ginny's face he said, " I hope those are tears of joy!" She nodded. "Let's go tell your parents!" He said grabbing her hands, "Ron and Hermione are there too! They will be so excited!" As he took her in his arms and started to turn to disapparate Ginny's earlier fears disappeared. She knew as long as Harry was by her side no problem was too big for them to handle and she couldn't wait to raise this child with him.
A/N Well this is the last Harry Ginny one I have written……do you think I should write more of their missing moments? And if I should what should they be about??
