A/N: This story is fem-slash (Hermione/Ginny) so if this isn't something you like to read stop now. But hey even if you don't you should give it a try.

Italics are thoughts and Flashbacks.

Sorry it took so long for this chapter. I'm in college and I just finished midterms which made me make this chapter kind of short but I will be posting a much longer one tomorrow.

Thanks again to all of my reviewers!


Chapter 4- You Called Me Baby

Hermione looks up to Ginnys face. "What do you want to happen?"

"I mean…I don't know… I do know I like you, Hermione. I do know I want to be there when you need me. Not just as a friend, but more than that. I want to be with you. That is… if you want to be with me?" Ginny said timidly.

"Gin, you are the most incredible girl I have ever met. You are perfect in every way and I couldn't imagine not being with you." Hermione said.

Ginny leaned down and kissed the top of her head. "Hermione, would you be my girlfriend?"

Hermione, giving no answer, sat up slightly. Looking intently, her eyes moved to memorize each freckle, every color that made up Ginnys stunning eyes. Her eyes then drifted towards the other girls delicious lips. She bent forward and captured them one more time. She pulled back slowly almost as soon as the kiss started and looked back at Ginny.

"I would love to be your girlfriend." as soon as this was out of her mouth Ginny crashed her lips excitedly back onto hers. Hermione deepened the kiss opening her mouth slightly. Ginnys hand found its way into her hair. Their tongues met. Hermione moaned softly into her mouth. Without thinking, Ginny passionately pulled Hermione up so that she halfway on top of her.

"Ahh." Hermione winced, shutting her eyes tight in an attempt to stop the world from spinning.

"Hey, hey you okay? I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, baby." Ginny said apologetically. Hermione lowered her forehead so it was resting on top of Ginnys.

"You called me baby." Hermione said still leaving her eyes close.

"Sorry, I don't know why I said that." Ginny said blushing.

"Don't apologies. I love it. I think it's cute. And don't worry, you didn't hurt me. I just sat up to quickly. The room is just kind of spinning."

"How 'bout you take a little bit more potion and we'll lie down. I think you need to get some sleep. It's been a long day. And something tells me your head won't feel any better if we continue…this…no matter how much I want to." Ginny said smiling grabbing the bottle off the table.

Ginny expected some protest but Hermione just took another gulp, cringing at the taste.

She must really not feel good to not even fight me a little.

Hermione laid her head on Ginnys chest snuggling in close. "G'night, Gin. I love you." she mumbled sleepily.

"I love you too, baby. You have made me the happiest girl on the planet." Ginny said even though she knew the other girl didn't hear her because she could already hear the other girls breathing deepen.

I can't believe this is real. 'mione's my girlfriend. You know even though she scared the hell out of me today I am almost glad it happened. Otherwise I don't think I would be laying her with the most beautiful girl in my arms right now.

She kissed the top of Hermione's head one last time as she let her tired eyes close while concentrating on the sound of her girlfriend breathing.

The morning came quickly for Ginny, having only gotten a few hours of sleep. The sun was shining directly in her eyes. At first she was confused about the figure lying on her arm but her mind cleared. Ginny looked down at the sleeping girl and smiled. Hermione's hand had somehow found its way under the covers, under her tank top and was now lying on Ginnys tummy.

I think it's going to take a few more night of waking up like this to make myself believe this isn't all a dream. But if this is a dream I am going to enjoy every second of it.

Ginny was abruptly brought out of her thoughts as the bedroom door opened slowly. Molly popped her head around the door then walked in once she realized someone was awake.

Molly smiled at the sight of the two girls cuddled up together. "How's she doing?" while looking over the girl brushing her hair back to see the black and blue bruise.

"Eh, she had a rough night but I think she's doing better. I did need to give her that potion last night, mum but she seemed to feel a ton better after." Ginny whispered looking down at Hermione.

"I figured the both of you would have a dreadful night. That potion can cause some weird side effects but it looks like you guys did just fine. Why don't you close your eyes darling, you probably could use some more sleep yourself. When you both wake I'll throw some lunch together." Molly said pulling another blanket over the girls, kissing her daughters forehead. Molly walked to the door and turned around. "I'm happy you two opened your eyes." Molly gave her daughter a smile and a quick wink before leaving the room.

What?! Did my mum just say that? Wait? Did she just approve of me and Hermione? I think she did. I didn't think this could get better.

Not long after Molly left Hermione started to stir. "Hello, sleepyhead."

"Mmmm, hi" Hermione said while looking up at the girl next to her, smiling. Then she realized where her hand was. "Sorry." she mumbled her whole face turning beat red, pulling her hand back. Ginny giggled, "Its okay 'mione. I don't mind. So, how are you feeling?"

"Actually a ton better. I still have a headache but nothing compared to last night. How long have you been awake?"

"Not very long. Mom just came to check on you not too long ago."

Hermione's face goes almost as white as it had been that night. "S-she saw us toge-togeth…cuddling?"

"I know. I was kind of worried when she walked in. My plan was that if she asked I was just going to say it made you feel better. But I didn't need to. I actually think mums known we have liked each other. Probably before we did. She said she was happy we had opened our eyes."

"What? Really? I would have never thought…That's great!" Hermione said with the biggest grin on her face.

"I know, right? Though I am thinking that if mum knew that means everyone else probably did too. I think this is the first time we may have been thicker than the boys." Ginny said smiling and shrugging her shoulders.

Hermione sighed contently having found Ginnys hand. They intertwined fingers and laid there a few more minutes in happy silence.

"We should probably get up before the boys get worried. Though I'm not sure I want to move." Ginny said squeezing her fingers.

"Yeah I don't really want to move either but I feel kind of grimy and a shower sounds amazing." Hermione said sitting up on the side of the bed.

"Well lets get some lunch and we can shower after. The boys probably want to see you." Ginny said standing.

"Sp-speaking of the boys…Are we going to tell them? …About us?…are we going to tell our parents?" Hermione said nervously.

"I'm scared too 'mione but I think we should…they will understand. Something just makes me think that if mum knew the boys have to know too." Ginny said while walking up to Hermione and holding her hands.

Hermione looked up at Ginny with a smile "Yeah, you're probably right. What do you say we enjoy the day and we tell them tonight after dinner?"

"Sounds perfect." Ginny said as a loud grumble came from her stomach.

"I think your tummy is trying to tell you something" Hermione said with a giggle.

"What can I say I'm always hungry." throwing her hands up.

They walked down the stairs to the kitchen where the family was just gathering for lunch. To everyone they were just two friends, hand in hand. The two girls knew that every little squeeze meant so much more.

I will have another one finished tomorrow : )

Reviews make me happy!
