"Harry? Where are you?" Ginny walked though the house holding the hand of the small two year old next to her. "Honey? We're home! Harry?" Ginny picked up Teddy, placed him in the play pin in the living room, and ran up the stairs of hers and Harry's home. When she got to the landing on the second floor, she called out for Harry again. Nothing. She walked down the hall and pushed open the door to their room. Her hand flew to her mouth as she muffled the cry that echoed through the room. On the floor, Harry laid, pale, unmoving. She ran over to him and pulled his head into her lap."HARRY!!!"
Harry ran into Ginny's room and shook her awake. He heard her cry out as he was coming up the stairs. "Ginny, baby, wake up! It's just a dream!"
Ginny sat up with a start, tears falling down her face. She looked at Harry and buried her face in his chest. Harry wrapped his left arm around her while still cradling Teddy in his right. Ginny kept whispering Harry's name, rocking back and forth, sobbing.
After a few minutes, Harry calmed Ginny down enough for her to stop crying. He convinced her to go and take a shower and meet him in the kitchen when she was through. After she agreed, Harry kissed her head and walked out of her room and down the stairs. He walked into the kitchen and started a pot of tea. He placed Teddy in a bassinet in the corner of the kitchen and sat down at the table with his head in his hands.
Hermione and Ron sat there looking at their friend with concerned eyes for the second time that day, but knowing their friend, stayed quiet. After a few minutes, Harry looked up with pleading eyes. "Ginny is still having nightmares. I heard her screaming when I went to wake her up. She was so upset. I don't know what it was about, but I told her to go shower and to meet me here afterwards. Guys, I hate to ask you, but can you please take Teddy for the day? I really need to talk to her…"
Hermione reached over the table and put her hand on Harry's. "We defiantly will Harry. We're your best friends for a reason. Look, you and Ginny haven't really had time to really talk since the war, and that is important. We'll take Teddy for the night too; we'll bring him back in the morning. Harry, it's ok. Just take care of yourself and Ginny. She needs you. The floo network is still hooked up to my parents' fireplace so if you need us you can reach us there."
Ron put his arm across the back of his girlfriend's chair. He nodded his agreement to Hermione's statement. "Harry, you have been through this war, you have lost so much, you have to take care of what is close to you. I know that you want to have Teddy here so you can watch him, but it will be fine. Just let us take him, just for the night. Now that we're back at Mione's parents' house, we can come around a lot more. You know that we are here for you. You and Ginny."
Harry looked over at his friends with grateful eyes. "Thank you."

Shortly after Hermione and Ron left with Teddy for the Granger house, Ginny came down to the kitchen. Harry smiled when he saw her. Her hair, long and flowing, cascaded down her back in red waves. She had put on a pair of orange Chudley Cannons sweat pants and one of Harry's old forest green sweatshirts. She walked around in socks and no make up; Harry had never seen her so beautiful.
He handed her a giant mug of tea and kissed her on the forehead. Ginny squeezed Harry's arm and sat down at the table. After a comfortable silence, Ginny looked at Harry with confusion all over her face. "Where is Teddy?"
Harry looked up from his paper to look into Ginny's brilliant brown eyes. "Ron and Hermione came by this morning and took him for the day and tonight. They are going to bring him back in the morning."
"Oh, ok."
Harry looked at her for a moment longer before going back to the paper. He had been known Ginny long enough to know that she would talk when she was ready. Pushing her would only make her upset, and wouldn't help anything.
"I dreamed that you were killed. I always dream about you, and Teddy, and my brothers and parents. I know that the war is over, but for some reason, my mind won't stop coming up with all of the ways that I can loose you all. Normally, my dreams start out with something happy like our wedding or Teddy's birthday, and then things happen. I'm sorry I didn't tell you."
Harry looked at her. She wouldn't look at him in the face; her head hanging down in shame. Harry folded his paper and set it aside. "Gin, come here."
Ginny got out of her seat, padded over to Harry, and sat down in his lap. She buried her head in the crook of his neck as he through her hair. "I'm so sorry." She whispered.
Pulling her face up so that he could look into her eyes, Harry shook his head. "Don't apologize. I dream too. I think that we have all been so afraid for so long, that it is just hard to believe that we don't have to worry like that anymore. We're ok. You're ok. Ginny, I'm not going to leave you, and nothing is going to happen to me. You are the best thing in my life, and as long as I have you and Teddy, I'm ok. Baby, Don't worry, please."
A tear rolled down her cheek. "I love you Harry. With all of my heart, I love you."
"And I love you."
Please review. I would love to hear your opinions and what you think will or should happen. thanks mon amis!
