Chapter 7: Work

Buzz, buzz, buzz,

'What is buzzing?' though Ginny peaking open an eye.

"Snicker doodles and carpet bags!" Ginny called. It was the alarm clock; she started to hurry getting dressed quickly and tied her hair back. Before she went down stairs she looked at the clock again.

7:30 am

'Wow record timing getting dressed,' calmly she went down the stairs, and walked down the hall of her flat to the kitchen taking a quick look in the mirror. She was in her usual pale green nurse's suit. The pants where tight around the middle as she was starting to show a bit.

'Little odd though,' thought Ginny. 'Oh well I'm going in for an ultra sound today we will see then,' Grabbing some fruit, bread, and peanut butter she went on with making breakfast for herself. Putting the bread into the toaster, she turned and started to cut the fruit when the phone rang. Putting down the knife Ginny walked over and picked up the phone.

"Hello, to whom do I have the pleasure of conversing with?"

"Hi Ginny!" came a male voice "It's your brother Bill!"

"Hi Bill!" this was odd Bill hardly ever called unless something important came about.

"Ginny guess what!" said Bill, what ever it was he was really excited about it.

"You won a million dollars and you are going to share it with me?"

"No,"

"I can be hopeful, then what?" asked Ginny

"Fleur and I are going to add two feet to the house!" Fleur was Bill's wife that he met while working at the bank in France; they had gotten married a few months ago.

"Two feet? But you guys live in an apartment?"

"Yeah I know we will have to move out and get a bigger house-"

"Then why would you be adding two feet to your apartment." Then Bill started laughing hysterically in the background she could hear Fleur "Shzee does not get it, no?" with her French accent.

"I thought you where smarter than that!" said Bill. Ginny thought about it, 'Two feet, Two feet, Two feet?'

"Two ha ha ha feet Ginny, Two ha ha ha baby feet," said Bill threw his laughs. Ginny smacked her forehead and laughed to.

"Great Bill, where did you learn that one?" asked Ginny

"When the twins had their kids."

"Oh," Fred and George where also married, Fred and Angelina had twin girls Maggie and Stacy. George and Alicia had gotten off with just one boy, Arthur.

"That is how they told me, oh by the way sis?" Bill said.

"Yeah?"

"How are you and Harry going, if you don't mind me asking?"

"No wedding bells Bill,"

"Not that when I told Ron about me and Fleur, he said something about you and Hermione." panic stripped threw her like a freshly sharpened saw goes threw a twig. "Then he stopped and tried to change the subject, I couldn't get anything out of him."

"Oh," said Ginny thinking fast. "That was probably about the patient we are both treating, he might not have felt right telling you about it when Hermione and I could probably do it better,"

"Okay…" said Bill, it did not sound like he was buying it. "By Gin,"

"Bye Bill." and the line went dead. That was close. Hermione, Ron, Harry and herself had all agreed to wait until they went to the Weasleys Christmas for (which was fast approaching) and make the announcement of Hermione and Ginny's pregnancy.

Ginny finished cutting the fruit, and grabbed the toast that had popped up and spread the peanut butter on. Snacking on the fruit as she put the stuff away when again the phone rang.

"Hello, to whom do I have the pleasure of conversing with?"

"Very Funny Weasley," came a voice. 'Shit,' Ginny thought 'It is Malfoy shit!'

"I'm sorry Dr. Malfoy," said Ginny.

"Apology accepted, but I would suggest that you would get Caller-ID so that this does not happen again." he said

"Thank you sir,"

"Now Ginerva," Ginny stuck her tongue out at the receiver. No one but him called her Ginerva; well take that back her grandparents did, but they where all six feet under ground now. It was either Ginerva or Weasley more the latter though form Malfoy. Never had he called her Ginny, everyone else did, but him, but then he was like that. He was formal with everyone. Ginny had never heared him call an employee by their nickname, and rarely by their first. Hermione said it was a sign that something was up if he called someone by their first name. What it was Hermione would not say, but Ginny thought it must mean that she was asked for a lot or something and he was actually able to memorize her name.

"I would like you to come to my office first thing after you check in, alright,"

"Alright," said Ginny.

"Good Bye"

"Good-" then the dial tone hit. 'That was kind of rude, not letting me say good bye. Oh well.' She managed to finish her breakfast and brush her teeth and go into the car by eight. Driving was boring just listing to the songs on the radio.

Listen to your heart

Listen to your heart

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.

I get a notion form the look in your eyes, yea.

You've built love but that love falls apart.

Your little piece of heaven turns to dark.

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you

Listen to you heart

There's nothing else you can do.

I don't know where you're going

And I don't know why,

But listen to you heart

Before you tell him goodbye-

Ginny pulled up into the parking lot and turned off the car. 'Best not keep Malfoy Junior waiting' she thought getting out of the car she managed to make her way to the font desk.

"Hello, Lavender!" said Ginny.

"Hey Gin?" replied Lavender "How is the baby?"

"Doing fine, I got an ultra sound after work so we will see how it is doing." Even though the family did not know about Ginny and Hermione's pregnancy the whole Hospital knew, the next day when Ginny came in.

"Congrats Ginny!" said Lavender when Ginny came up.

"Thanks?" said Ginny. "For what?" she asked confused.

"Aren't you pregnant?"

"Yes…Who told you?" asked Ginny.

"Why the father of course!" Just then Harry came up and put his arms around Ginny.

"How's the baby?" asked Harry.

"Harry can I speak to you…alone?"

"Sure Ginny," turning the corner Ginny looked him in the eye.

"Harry, why did you tell everyone?" asked Ginny

"Because you're pregnant?"

"Yeah but what if…" Ginny trailed off

"What if what?"

"It turns out in a miscarriage?" said Ginny. "I would have preferred to wait a few months before we told everyone."

"Right sorry Gin,"

"It is okay just no telling the family."

"Alright Gin,"

"Oh yeah Ginny?" called Lavender

"Yeah?"

"You know Malfoy wants to see you right?"

"Yep he called me at my house to tell me." Said Ginny and she started her way to Malfoy's office. Going up the stairs and threw the hallways finally reaching the landing where his office was. She walked down the hall to the door and stared at the combination lock on the door.

It had numbers on it, like a phone that when you pressed the right combination they unlocked and let you in; but there was a problem. Ginny did not know the combination. So she tried opening the door. It was locked. So she knocked, no one answered. So she knocked again.

"Hello Ginerva," came the voice. Ginny jumped, startled by the voice.

"The combination is 2273," he said. Pressing in the combination in, a beep came from the door, then a click. "You can open it now," he said. So Ginny opened the door and held it for him. Once they where both inside she saw her boss. He was dressed in black slacks and a blue shirt, covered by a white lab coat. He also had on his stethoscope and his badge around his neck. He was carrying a cup of coffee and a water bottle and some how managed to hold some files.

"Ginerva," said Malfoy taking a seat. "Take a seat." So she did, Malfoy slid the water bottle down the table and Ginny caught it, "I called you here to talk about Kyle."

'Okay,' thought Ginny. 'I would think you would not have to call me to your office but okay…' "What about him?" she asked.

"Well," he said, "I wanted your estimation on his progress." Ginny felt rather flattered that he wanted her opinion.

"The tumor is shrinking at a fine pace and I would think that he would be completely cured of the tumor within a few weeks."

"No, no, no Ginerva," said Malfoy. "Sorry I should have been more specific, I mean with speech, reading, writing, arithmetic, basic skills, ect, ect,"

"Well," Ginny took a moment to think, opening and taking a sip form the bottle. "His speech is fine, but the three 'R's could use some work but he should be caught up with that soon and…basic skills, he seems to be doing fine on," Taking a drink form the water bottle.

"Thank you Ginerva," said Malfoy

"Why do you ask Malfoy?"

"Well um, Kyle's Parents seem to think that the medication that he is on is causing him to lose parts of him so to speak. Such as speech, motor skills, stuff like that."

"Well the medication could be doing that but then so could the tumor."

"Exactly," said Malfoy, "I just finished looking at it and it is true for all the patients with cancer that we are treating." Sliding the file towards her so that she could look at it, and taking it up Ginny did. All the charts showed dramatic losses in the tumor density, and the skills that had slowly started to shrink.

"It could also be that the body is so used to having the tumor there it has yet to get used to it."

"Another good point,"

"So what are you going to do about it?" asked Ginny.

"Well I was thinking about, therapy, physical and mental." Responded Malfoy Ginny nodded to the statement,

"Well if you don't mind me Malfoy, I should be going to check up on the girl we just go in from the car crash last night."

"Alright Ginerva." Said Malfoy, Ginny started to make her way out the door when Malfoy called, "Ginerva?"

"Yes?"

"How are the babies?"

"It is good," said Ginny, walking out the door. Just as she was about to shut it she asked. "You do know it is just one right?"

"Oh sorry I have been listing to Kyle to much,"

"What do you mean?" Ginny asked.

"It seems like Kyle is just set on the idea that you are having twins when I talked to him earlier." Malfoy replied

"Oh…" said Ginny 'I have told him about Fred and George, maybe that is why, but I am pretty sure that I am only having one this time around.' Thought Ginny shutting the door and walking out.

Ginny finished up drawing the girl's blood and setting the sample into a container to be tested.

"You're good at that; it didn't hurt as much as last time." Said the girl.

"Thanks, I try." Replied Ginny.

"Nurse Miss," said the girl.

"Yeah?" said Ginny

"How are the babies?" smiling Ginny replied,

"It is fine," said Ginny "Who told you I was pregnant?"

"Kyle, we where playing chess together and he told me about you,"

"Well how did you know it was me, and not another Doctor or Nurse?"

"Because Kyle said that his doctor had pretty red hair and a bit of a tummy because she was pregnant with twins!" Ginny laughed and replied

"Well I am the only nurse here with red hair but, I am not having twins,"

"Really? Kyle said you looked like his mommy did when he was pregnant with his twin baby sisters." She said.

'Kyle is an older brother?' "He never mentioned having siblings." Said Ginny.

"Ooops…" said the girl "I wasn't supposed to tell. Could you please not tell any one that I told you that?"

"Why?" Ginny asked

"Because, they lost the babies,"

"Well what is your name?" Ginny asked.

"Kaitylin Conslora,"

"Well Kaitylin, I swear I will not tell anyone," Ginny said, then looked at the clock. "Well I have to get to my appointment I will see you tomorrow Kaitylin,"

"Okay, Bye!"

"Bye!" and Ginny walked out of the room and down the hall way.
