Ginny had hardly slept a blink that night. Thoughts of the day's events were rolling through her mind like a movie and she was going through them over and over and over again as if she had not quite gotten everything yet. Had she been dreaming of everything so far in her life? Everything just felt unbelievably real yet unbelievable untrue. Did Branimir Zabini-Konstadinov actually exist? Had Blaise actually had a conversation with her at the Krum's mansion? THE KRUM'S MANSION?! Was her beautiful baby Gary and everything all just a dream? If it was, this was definitely the longest dream she had ever dreamt. It was beautiful in a way because not everything had turned out to be that bad, but it still had its problems...

She pulled at her pillow to straighten it up as it had been moved from her tendency to toss and turn in bed before finally closing her eyes. Sleep hardly crept up on her and all she saw instead of the blackness and sparks were images... memories... and... dreams? She opened her eyes again and sighed as she saw the familiar white ceiling.

Feeling her sweat start to trickle from the heat produced by her covers, she kicked off her blanket and walked over to her mirror to find herself greeted by the most ugliest person in the world. She screamed for a moment before realising that it was in fact herself and laughed. She had never seen herself look so hideous before and it surprised her. Not having slept for a day had resulted with big panda eyes and a very, very swollen face.

"Is something wron-" Hermione asked as she came into her room before gawking at her face and trying not to burst out laughing. "Ginerva Grace! What have you done to yourself?! I thought you were attacked or something!"

"Haha. Couldn't sleep, that's all." Ginny mumbled after a yawn.

"Hmmm. Been staying up all night thinking about the Zabini Brothers?" Hermione asked as innocently as possible.

"Yeah." Ginny said without thinking. She noticed a hidden smirk on Hermione's face and rolled her eyes as it slowly revealed itself. Hermione was finding something very amusing... "'Mione. You know what I mean."

"Of course I do."

Ginny felt her cheeks burn slightly from an unknown embarrassment. "I'm serious." she said.

"Of course you are." Hermione muttered, still grinning.

Ginny threw a pillow at Hermione, who in turn threw one back. It soon turned into a childish pillow fight. It didn't really matter if the pillows tore... Magic was there to fix it...

________________

"Did you guys agree on a specific time to meet?" Hermione asked after finally finding a way to get rid of the panda eyes on Ginny's now much better looking face. The pillows were perfectly stitched back together with the use of magic and the feathers had been cleared away. The childish fight had taken some of the stress that Ginny had been feeling out so there was no regret on the fight.

It was near the hour of twelve now and the toddlers were at the peak of their activeness. They could be heard running, screaming and banging into things through the echoing around the halls of the mansion. "WAHHHHHH!" "AHHHHH!" "WAHHHHH!" could be heard echoing over and over again. The voices could not be mistaken for any other child's, they were the voices of Gary Angelus Grace and Viktoria Jane Krum. Miro wasn't up to much fun... In Ginny's point of view. Being too much like his mother, he had his nose under a book and... reading you could say. Did he even know how to read?

"Not really... No. But I think he'll be fine with whenever I drop by, not really bothered to call him." Ginny said, half saying her thoughts out aloud. "I think it would be better if I go in an hour or so. I can't go to that island with Gary all hyper. He might get hurt of something."

"Are you going to meet up with Blaise anytime soon?" Hermione asked, completely changing the topic in a way.

Ginny sighed. "He doesn't seem to be interested in Gary or being part of his life..." Ginny felt a small tear to her heart as she said that and tried to ignore it. It was hurting her to talk about what she felt about how Blaise felt for some reason. "I'll meet up with him some other time. I just want the potion to be quickly done with. Finding out who Gary's father is is the most important right now."

"And I thought you never wanted to find out who Gary's father was?"

"Why do you always answer or say anything with a question?" Ginny asked.

"Just making conversation..." Hermione muttered much to herself.

The next two hours were made up of calming the kids down and feeding them. Ginny had managed to steal some time for herself to get ready but it hadn't been any longer than fifteen minutes in all. Since having Gary, she hadn't really cared about how she looked which was quite unnatural in a way as she hadn't had been like that at the peak of her teenage years. Make up here, make up there, skirts and tops on, skirts and tops off to the dump... It was completely not there for her anymore.

Picking Gary up into her arms she walked over to the fireplace and prepared to floo. Before getting ready, she saw a whole-body reflection through the mirror and wondered if her red tank top and shorts were all right. She suddenly felt her heart quicken in pace and wondered why she was feeling so. Viktoria looked rather upset at not being able to play with Gary anymore but forgot that she had been feeling upset as soon as she smacked her brother in the head. Ginny felt sorry for Miro as he had done nothing but read a book.

"You going already?" Hermione asked.

"Already?" Ginny asked. "It's two something in the afternoon already. It will be Gary's bedtime in five hours."

"Do you really need to take that long?" she asked.

"Just in case Brani is Gary's dad... I want them to bond a lot before time."

"What if he isn't Gary's father?" Hermione asked.

"Stop asking questions! I thought you were meant to answer them!" Ginny joked, desperately trying to change the topic. She didn't want to think or make up conclusions as to what to do if Branimir wasn't Gary's father. There was always Blaise... And if he wasn't- she preferred not to think about it.

Hermione laughed and chuckled before taking her wand out rather threateningly. It surprised Ginny for a moment and took some time for her to figure out that Hermione was only joking.

"If you're not going to floo already, I might as well hex you to it." she said with a smile on her face. "You're wasting your precious five hours!"

"Oh fine, fine, fine!"

Getting back to the island and getting hit by the wonderful smell of the sea made Ginny smile. She could see the smile on Gary's face too and she suddenly felt rather at home. Home... It was a rather awkward word for her now. Although she had been living at the Krum's mansion, it was a place that Ginny would call a place to stay, rather than a place called home. Her true home had definitely been when she had been living with the Weasley's, they were her family, or should she call ex family? Hermione was like a sister to Ginny, an older sister, but she felt bad to be staying and living off the money she earned as she hadn't really done anything to deserve so.

The sudden squawking of seagulls brought Ginny back to Earth and she felt surprised that she suddenly felt a body pressing against her back, a rather chiseled chest... She turned around to find just the person she was looking for, it looked like she didn't need to go around looking for him or stop by his place.

"Ginny Grace?" Branimir said with a handsome smile. His hand was placed on her shoulder making her feel rather nervous in a fluttering-butterflies-in-her-stomach way.

"Branimir," Ginny said, a bit too breathlessly. She was beginning to rather be bad at keeping how she felt or thought to herself thanks to Gary...

"Going to hang out with me now?" Branimir asked in a rather cutesy childish voice.

Ginny wondered what up with his sudden change of mood and voice and was about to answer him when she realised that he had been talking to Gary after hearing the gurgling of her son. She could hear Gary continue to gurgle and giggle and suddenly felt her heart grow warmer. The sudden breeze caught her breath and she watched as the wind played about with Branimir's short and gentle wavy hair. Suddenly, everything felt perfect, life felt perfect, and she wanted nothing to change.

"HEY YOU!" a rather vexed voice called out rudely. "Get off of the floo you little ginge! There are people stuck on the floo system waiting to get here! You too!"

"Vatch your manners old man! I own this island!" Branimir suddenly growled furiously. "If you vant to keep your job I suggest you treat this 'ginge' nicely. And I vould also prefer it if you used a nicer term for this beautiful young lady."

"Sorry, sir," the much older man mumbled.

Ginny knew that she was blushing when Branimir had called her beautiful. She had used to been able to control her feelings but now a days, it was getting really hard.

Branimir turned back to Ginny and smiled at her and offered both of his arms out. "Let's go for a valk? I vould like it very much if I may hold my... son."

The last two words were like heaven singing into Ginny's ears. Everything was just way too perfect all of a sudden it seemed impossible. She immediately put Gary into Branimir's arms and she smiled as she watched Branimir cradle him.

"Let's start valking now. The people stuck on the floo vaited long enough."

_______________

Ginny watched from her seat at the beach side cafe and took a sip of her coconut drink as she watched her son run for his life with a scared yet excited expression on his face. He looked like he was having a rather scary adventure. Ginny had nothing to worry about though as it was just Branimir running after him. The two had really bonded over the last four hours and there was just an hour left before it was time for Gary to sleep. She had never seen Gary so happy before so Ginny was going to have a hard time bringing him back 'home'.

"Hey Branimir?" Ginny said when Branimir was running close enough to hear.

He stopped running for a while and looked over to Ginny with sweat droplets running over his cheeks. The sunlight hit his olive skin and soaked into it making him look rather... hot? What the hell was Ginny thinking about?

"Hey Ginny." he said.

"I think it's time for us to go now." she mumbled, feeling an impending feeling of sadness coming to her.

"Us? Me too?" he asked, obviously joking.

"As in Gary and I. It's almost his bedtime." she said.

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Okay."

"Right."

"Can he stay for dinner?" he asked.

"Sorry." Ginny mumbled, finding it hard to speak properly. "He has a special dinner every night."

"Allergic to something? Special diet?" he asked, now looking worried.

"No... No- No. He's not allergic to anything. He's just... well... a picky eater." Ginny wondered what kind of thoughts were going through Branimir's head. Did he think that being a picky eater was a bad thing? What if he suddenly didn't like Gary at all?!

Branimir smiled to her relief. "He most definitely must a Zabini," he said. "He likes expensive food? Food of fine quality?"

Ginny blinked though not with surprise. She was smiling now. "Yes."

"Definitely a Zabini boy den." Branimir said smiling proudly.

Ginny decided to leave out the part where Gary would eat whatever his 'crush' would eat. Branimir didn't need to know about that... right?

Gary ran over to them after realising that Brainimir was not going to chase him anymore. He hugged Branimir's leg and grinned showing all of his milk teeth.

"Hello Zabini boy." Branimir said with a chuckle.

Ginny quickly picked Gary up and carried him in her arms. She gave him a kiss and told him that they were going to leave now. Gary... did not look too happy about it.

"Going to miss me, Gary?" Branimir asked with a handsome grin. "I'm going to miss you too. But do not vorry.. Ve vill see each other tomorrow again?"

"We are?" Ginny asked.

Branimir blinked as if not understanding what Ginny had said. "Vhy of course." he said in a matter of fact way. "Ve shall be seeing each other everyday." He obviously meant Gary... right?

"I'll see you soon then, Branimir?" Ginny said, suddenly finding herself smiling again.

"Please, call me Brani."

"Well, what was he like?" Hermione asked as they ate their dinner in the dining room.

Ginny took a bite of her bread as she wondered how to answer Hermione. She looked at Gary for a moment who had just fallen asleep and smiled as the day's memories flowed through her mind. Today had been a good day.

"Brani was nice," Ginny said, before quickly adding. "To Gary of course."

"You call him Brani now?" Hermione said, giving her a teasing smile.

"Oh shush. He's only being nice to me because of Gary. He'd probably just go after getting into my pants if Gary wasn't his possible child."

"If you insist..."

"Seriously."

________________

For the past four weeks, Ginny had taken Gary to Konstadinov Island to visit Branimir everyday and things started to get even better. Branimir and Gary were inseparable now and were enjoying ever hour... minute... second together. Gary had even stopped calling Viktor 'Daddy' now.

"Go beach!" Gary said with a toothy grin. He gave Ginny and Branimir, who was standing by his bookshelf, a pleading puppy dog look which neither could resist.

Branimir looked at Ginny and gave her his puppy dog look. "Gary vants to go. Ve might as vell take him?"

Ginny smiled. "Let's go then."

It took less then a second to get to the beach as apparating was involved. Ginny could see so many pretty witches everywhere and wondered if Branimir would ditch her for them. Ditch Gary, she meant... Why would Branimir ditch her- and Gary, right?

"Merlin! He's a happy boy now!" Branimir said as Gary bounced about in his arms, moving his arms about. "Vant to go svimming, Gary?"

A sudden glimmering and certain girly giggle caught Ginny's ears as she felt the familiar tingle of annoyance travel around her skin. She had not heard the person's giggle in ages but the resentment for her was still there. Although they hadn't bumped into each other more than four times, Ginny didn't like her one bit. She could feel a sudden anger boil in her and she tried to control her temper. She had a feeling something bad was going to happen...

Turning her head around, she saw Gabriella Delacour. She was beautiful, she had to admit. She was wearing a hot pink bikini, which gladly showed off her long veela legs and lovely curves. She saw that most of the wizard's at the beach had their eyes on her but was thankful that Branimir wasn't look at her... yet.

"Did a pretty girl catch Gary's eyes?" Branimir suddenly said chuckling as he looked at Gary.

Ginny felt a sudden tinge of jealousy as Branimir now saw her. She couldn't believe that the quarter veela had even caught the attention of her son! She was surprised to see a glare fill up Branimir's eyes as she continued to watch the veela. Something about her was disgusting him and his anger started to show even more as he started to tremble.

"Something wrong?" Ginny asked, emphasizing her moment of victory.

"My brother..."

A question mark scribbled all over her face was the reaction of Ginerva Grace. Where did 'my brother' come from? It was just Gabriella Delacour there- who happened to be the fiance of BLAISE ZABINI. Merlin, damn it! Of course he had to be here!

"I'm sorry little vone, ve von't go to beach for today." Branimir muttered, the caring voice now replaced with maliciousness. "Let's go now Ginny. Now."

It was too late to do anything as Ginny felt two- four eyes look their way. She felt her heart start to pound faster as the two pairs of eyes continued to stare at her. Not only had Gabriella Delacour potted them but... Blaise Zabini had too. What were they going to do?
