And once again I must apologize for making you wait ten forevers for me to update. I lost this chapter at least twice, maybe more, and my frustration led me to put it away for a while. What's worse is that I had about half of it written and so losing it meant losing a lot. But as usual I missed it too much to put it away for too long so here it is.(:

She woke up to the feel of warm, strong arms wrapped around her. She snuggled closer for a moment, absorbing the feeling that she got from being so close to him, and then moved away and softly stepped out of the bed. Feeling the draft she pulled her robe close around her and walked into the kitchen. Absolutely famished Ginny began making breakfast, already knowing that Harry would wake up grumpy because of his empty stomach.

Humming to herself as she fixed the meal she didn't notice someone else enter the room. Harry's arms encircled her tiny waist and kissed her collarbone lightly. Startled, she jumped a little, but none too much as Harry wrapped his arms tighter and spun her around so she was facing him. Her arms went to his neck and she stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. As her hands went up, the light caught the three diamonds in her ring and she couldn't help but smile against his lips.

"You know we have to go to my house soon," Ginny said as the couple sat at the breakfast bar eating.

"I know. Teddy's there so we'll have to pick him up."

There was a silence enveloping the room. Neither of them wanted to say what they were going to have to do out loud.

"We'll have to tell my family," Ginny said finally.

"I know." Harry sighed. "It's not your parents I'm worried about though."

"He'll get over it. And who knows; maybe he'll react differently than we think."

Half an hour later they had both showered and dressed. Ginny was in an above the knee, high-waisted, white, pleated, cotton skirt, red tights, grey uggs, a long sleeve, grey fitted shirt, and a red scarf. Harry wore a grey collared shirt, a black leather jacket, jeans, and his grey pumas. They grabbed hands and apparated to the steps of the Burrow.

"Let's get this over with." Ginny mumbled, knocking on the door.

A smiling Mrs. Weasley opened it and ushered them inside.

A small boy was crawling at top speed towards Harry, who immediately scooped him up and gave him a huge hug.

"Teddy!" Harry exclaimed.

He beamed at Harry and then held his arms out; asking to be passed into Ginny's arms. As she stretched her arms out towards him the light from the room glinted onto her newly acquired ring; giving everyone something to stare at. There was a quiet moment in the room before it broke out in chatter.

"Ginny do you have something to tell us?" Ron's slightly angered voice asked.

Mrs. Weasley's face was one of awe and excitement. She looked as if she could cry. Her hands came up to her mouth and after a moment a smile broke across her face.

"Oh darling. I'm so excited for you!" Mrs. Weasley said embracing her only daughter in a warm, tight hug. She gave her one last squeeze before embracing Harry in a welcoming hug; a hug that truly brought him into the family.

"It is Harry right?" George joked.

"Of course it is!" Mrs. Weasley snapped; not even giving Ginny a chance to answer. "We'll have to let everyone know and plan a date and talk about decorations and such," Mrs. Weasley said; suddenly flustered. "There's so much to do. It's going to be great. I'm just so happy for you two."

Ron was looking a little sullen; standing off to the side of the room. Hermione was rubbing a hand gently up and down Ron's back murmuring to him softly.

She left him though and came towards Harry and Ginny beaming.

"Ginny I'm so happy for you." She embraced her in a warm hug and did the same with Harry. "Good for you," she told him; giving him a quick wink.

Ron had followed Hermione and stood behind her.

"I'm happy for you," he said stiffly.

"Ron," Hermione said in a threatening tone.

His cheeks reddened a little and his face tensed. He pushed his lips together; trying to hold back the words that ran through his mind.

Harry, knowing that Ron was about to explode, nodded his head towards the door asking if he wanted to step outside for a minute. Ron again nodded stiffly and followed him out the door.

"That's my bloody sister," Ron said through gritted teeth.

"That's the girl I'm in love with Ron," Harry said.

"How can you be in love with my sister? You're marrying her. Marrying her, Harry. So help me if you hurt her. You do understand what marriage is right? It's a commitment for life; the rest of your bloody life, so you had better not back out."

Harry didn't say anything; knowing that Ron wasn't done yet.

"She's my sister. She's only seventeen. And she's getting married; at seventeen."

"Ron, I've been in love with your sister for a long time. I love her. I'm not going to hurt her; or leave her. I love her. You're my best friend mate; please try to understand that."

Harry looked up. A few of the blinds were pushed aside; leaving room for eyes to peer out at them and their private conversation.

"We've got company," Harry murmured.

Ron, understanding what he meant, turned to go back inside.

He looked over his shoulder for one fleeting moment and muttered to Harry, "I just need a little time."

-----

"That wasn't so bad, now was it?" Ginny asked.

"No. All in all it went well."

They were sitting on the couch in Harry's living room; hands entwined. Teddy was watching the television and Harry and Ginny were discussing their day.

Ginny wasn't surprised at Ron's reaction. She knew that he'd be upset; but for Ron he contained himself rather well.

"Mum was really happy Harry. I haven't seen her that happy in a while."

"I know. I'm glad we were able to put a smile on her face. She deserves to be happy."
