DISCLAIMER: Nope, don't own them, only in my wildest dreams.


"What?" Ginny hissed and Harry could safely say her quiet tones were freaking him out.

"Ginny," Harry drawled, "you heard what I said and you know what I want."

"I never thought you'd be the man, Harry Potter, the one that took someone's life away. A child Harry, a baby," Ginny said, her voice gaining volume with every word.

"No Ginny, no... I'm not doing this," and with that Harry left the room, racing down the stairs.

"Not doing this! Not doing this Harry! You're the one who started this, whatever this is!" Ginny yelled as she thundered down the stairs after him. "You want me to kill a baby! Don't make me seem like the bad guy!"

"The bad guy Ginny! This isn't another bloody war, this is our life!" Harry yelled back, his voice shaking from suppressed anger.

"Yes and I want to live my own life," Ginny stubbornly replied, her hand moving protectively towards her stomach, cradling it.

"Live your own life fine, but know that you have others who depend on you too. Others who you have to put first," Harry's cool-and-collected manner had come back to him and it was Ginny who was red in the face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't get the notice that said saying 'I do' was really restricting my life and making me some sort of nanny!"

"You're a mother, or have you forgotten that," was Harry's snide remark that brought tears to Ginny's eyes.

" How dare you Harry James Potter! You have no right!" Ginny screeched, pointing an accusing finger in Harry's face.

"What, so now I have no right to say what's best for my children? They're my kids too Ginny. They're my kids and I will not stand here and watch their mother put herself in danger."

"In danger Harry? I'm doing the same thing you did all those years ago. Or have you forgotten? Remember Harry, you left me, all alone, broken hearted," Ginny mocked, knowing it was a touchy subject for him.

"What you are doing is not the same thing I did! I had to do that, to protect everyone that I loved! All you're doing is leaving your sons motherless, your parents without a daughter, your brothers without a sister and me without a wife."

"So this is what it's about? Some selfish reason to keep me all for yourself?"

"Don't twist my words Ginny! I never said that!" Ginny didn't seem to care for the hurt expression on Harry's face, or for the fact that he looked dimply drained.

They were both silent. Ginny's chest heaving up and down, while she tried to slow down her breath. A small voice broke them from their thoughts.

"Mummy? Daddy?" a small boy stood in the doorway, clinging onto an old stuffed bear. "Mummy? Why are you crying mummy?"

But Ginny didn't respond, she merely turned away from her son.

"Daddy?"

"Go back to the kitchen James, daddy will be there soon," Harry said, hoping the fear would leave his sons eyes. He watched James small figure retreat back from where he came, and only then did he see little Albus standing behind him.

Harry slowly walked forward, crouching in front of Ginny. She flinched when he touched her and Harry mentally cringed.

"I'm going to go drop the boys at the burrow, then I'll come back, yeah?"

"Just go Harry," Ginny's voice cracked on the last word and she twisted so that she wasn't facing him anymore.

"Okay," Harry stood, and left his wife there, crying on the settee. He stopped in the doorframe when he heard her voice, soft and pleading. It sent chills down his spine.

"I don't want to do this anymore."

Harry wasn't sure if she was taking about fighting, or if she was referring to him, she didn't want to be with him anymore.

"I love you Ginny."

And with that Harry took James and Albus and flooed to the Burrow. Not feeling at home, even though he was surrounded by all his family, all the people that he loved.

No, not all, Harry thought with a stab to the heart.


A/N:

QUESTION TO ANSWER IN REVIEW! WHAT DO YOU THINK TEDDY LUPIN'S LIVING ARRANGEMENTS ARE? I always imagined that he lived with Andromeda but also had a room at Harry's. In my mind it was sort of like a divorce couple, they both got Teddy equally. What do you think? I love hearing your opinions!

Okay so this one is longer than chapter 4(teaser) but not nearly as long as chapter 1. Just to clear up some confusion GINNY IS PREGNANT. AND yes there is something wrong with the pregnancy. Harry is not a cruel person and he only wants Ginny to be safe. I know that i've only given you half of what I promised you in chapter three...sorry! I plan on having it in the next chapter (which may or may not be posted tomorrow). I will say right now that you shouldn't expect any updates this weekend. My cousin is getting married! Whoo! And my out-of-state cousins are coming for the weekend. Also it's going to be my dads birthday(same day of wedding, 9-10-11, cool right:) so maybe Sunday night. I'll probably update on Friday though so it shouldn't be so bad.

I post as I write, so no I do not have chapter six (or 5 if you don't count chapter 4 teaser as a chapter) typed yet. I also do not write drafts so maybe one day I'll go back and make this story better as a whole.

Wow. Long A/N? Hopefully I haven't bored those who actually stayed to read this:)
