Chapter 11: Their Father
Ginny was home the first time in four days. Caring the twins up to her room, where one of her family members had set up the cribs. Ginny took the twins out of their carrying baskets and slipped them into the cribs. The twins where asleep, she was home, she was not hungry; she was not tired, there was no laundry to be done. There was nothing to do.
'Now this does not happen very often.' Thought Ginny. 'Now what am I going to do?' she thought, then she remembered that she had not gotten the mail yet. So walking out the door and to the mail box, Ginny took out her mail, and walked back in the house. She flipped threw the mail, trying to see if there was anything important.
'Bill, bill, bill, and a manila envelope form the hospital,' she thought, sitting down at the table she paid the bills, and then she grabbed the envelope from the hospital. She opened the top and pulled out the papers. Looking at it, it looked like a bill, so checking it she made sure she was going to pay for everything she had gotten. Everything checked out until she came to the end:
Father conformation DNA test
'What? I didn't ask for that,' so she checked the rest of the papers and so there was one. 'Might as well look at it,' so Ginny looked it over,
Children in Question:
Cecilia Ann and Charles William Weasley
Possible Fathers:
Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy
Confirmed Father:
Draco Malfoy
"Oh my God," said Ginny, 'Harry really isn't the father…I am have got to call Hermione,' picking up the phone Ginny dialed Hermione's number and let it ring.
RING
She really had not thought about it since the she realized the twins had blond hair and blue eyes, and when she had told her parents, but it would make sense.
RING
If someone in her family had had blue eyes, but blue eyes was recessive, the only way the children could have blue eyes was….Ginny grabbed a pad of paper to work out a Punnet Square.
RING
Draco had blue eyes, so he is pure breed recessive…so in order for her kids to have blue eyes she would have to be a carrier of the trait.
RING
There was no way the kids would have gotten mixed up? No there was not, they had not been taken far before they came back. Percy's child had blue eyes as well, but, Fred and George's kids did not.
"Hello," came Hermione's voice,
"Hermione?" said Ginny,
"Ginny, I was just about to call you I have something really important to tell you,"
"Well so do I," said Ginny
"Well you first," said Hermione,
"Hermione….Harry isn't the father," said Ginny her voice almost cracking, this was going to kill Harry when he found out.
"Well that was what I was going to tell you to," said Hermione, "Caitlyn is not Ron's, I just got a DNA test that confiermed it," Ginny mulled this over for a while.
"Who is it then," remembering the list they had come up with.
"Ginny I am so sorry, but,"
"Who is it Hermione?"
"Harry, Ginny, Harry." Hermione started sobbing and Ginny joined in after a bit Hermione asked.
"Who is Cecilia and Charles father?" she asked
"Draco Malfoy," said Ginny. Then there was a dial tone, Ginny hung up the phone as well and went and laid down in her bed. Just then one of the twins started crying and before bussing her self with the child she thought.
'How am I going to tell Harry?"
Harry had not even seen his children yet. He did not know what they looked like, if they where boy or girl, or even if they where alive. He did not know about Hermione, he had not even been at work. When he had gone for a walk around the hospital, it had gotten late so he went home had dinner, took a shower and went to bed. Forgetting about Ginny entirely he had not been able go get himself to work, he did not want to hear congratulations, he did not want to see his children.
'I am going to Ginny's,' he decided. Getting himself out of the house and into his car he drove all the way to her house
Knock, knock, knock,came the door. Ginny put Cecilia down in her crib and got the door.
"Hello, Ginny,"
"Oh Hi Harry," said Ginny, "Do you want to come in?"
"Umm, no Ginny I wanted to say something and then get going." Harry said.
"Okay," said Ginny "I have something to say as well," she said boldly.
"Alright you first," he said
"Harry, the children….aren't…..yours," said Ginny breaking up as she talked. Then Harry taking a deep breath said
"That gives me all the more reason to do this," said Harry, handing her a note "Open this tomorrow morning, with this," he said handing her a small box.
"Alright Harry," said Ginny taking the box and the note they said good bye and Harry walked to his car and drove away.
Ginny took the note and box inside and put them on the table. She made herself dinner, fed the babies took a shower and went to bed. The whole time wondering what was in the box, and what Harry was planning to do.
Ginny woke up to the sound of crying. "Alright Mommy is coming," she said getting out of bed and walking over to the crying child. It was Charley. Ginny checked to see what the time was. Seven in the morning according to the clock, 'not to bad charley,' thought Ginny; her alarm would have gone off soon anyway.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, it went so she went over and turned it off, and started nursing Charley.
Once she was finished nursing the twins she went down stairs to the kitchen. The first thing she saw on the table was the box and the note. In Harry's handwriting the envelope said 'Open first' so she did,
Dear Ginny,
If you are reading this now, I have left you. I will never see, hear, touch, or speak of you again. I was excited first about the twins, but in truth, I am not ready to be a father. I do not want that kind of responsibility. I am now working at another hospital, I was considering leaving Dragon Care in the first place, but then you started to work their. I should have never talked about you at the office. But I am rambling and you probably have no idea what I am talking about so I will tell you in some simple bullets.
When we first started dating I really liked you
I told everyone in the office about you
Showed your picture to everyone
Malfoy jr. seemed to interested in you for my comfort
I decided to quit, move and work else where
But you got the job at Dragon Care so I stayed.
Now you have twins, some one else likes you and it is to competitive.
Bye forever Ginny
Harry Potter
Ginny started sobbing as she then opened the little box. Inside where little silver bootees connected with a satin ribbon. Another note was there,
Ginny,
These are for you congratulations of the twins I hope they grow up like you,
Harry
Ginny's tears continued as she took a seat at the kitchen table.
Harry had left her, just like that. No real good bye, no chance to get him back, he was just…gone. Not that this would have been a supirse, if he had left after she told him, but this...this had been planed out, he was going to leave her, no matter if the twins where his or not. Then a knock came at the door.
'Just go away, go away,' but the knocks just became more persistent so wiping her tears; she went and got the door.
"Hello Ginny," he said. "Can I come in?"
