27th March 2004

Ginny Weasley put a loving hand on her now bloated stomach, the kicking stopped immediately. She smiled, she walked slowly, and she could hear her entire family as she neared the Quidditch pitch at the Manor. She saw Harry streak above and her heart burned with momentary jealousy, she missed being up in the air. She missed flying, she missed Quidditch; she couldn't believe that she would have to wait till September to be able to join her team back.

Slowly she made her way to the stands, Teddy, Victoire, Molly, Dominique and Lucy were busy rooting for their teams. Fleur was sitting with little Louise who was around three months old and asleep. Fleur smiled at Ginny, Angelina who till now was chatting with Fleur looked up and moved to make room for Ginny. Ginny winced as she sat; Angelina smiled "I can't wait for these two to be out of me. And I don't really want to think the menace that the three of them would be." Ginny laughed. Audrey was talking to Andromeda and her mother about some new recipe that she had learnt and Hermione was sitting with her father telling him about how a computer worked, to say that Arthur was fascinated would be an understatement.

Ginny Potter nee Weasley was content, this was her happy moment. This was what she had fought for so many years ago but her happy moment didn't last long. She felt an unbearable pain in her stomach, she gasped, her hand flying to her stomach, trying to calm her child down.

Angelina and Fleur noticed her movements, "What is it?" Angelina asked laying a caring hand on Ginny's arm. Ginny shook her head and smiled, "Nothing, the baby is a little excited today." Fleur snorted, years of living with the Weasleys had taught her a thing or two. "Too excited." She said with a huge grin, "Look down Ginny, your water just broke the baby is ready to come."

The world stopped spinning for Ginny Potter, this can't be happening, the baby can't be coming now, not in the middle of a Potter- Weasley Quidditch match. Ginny thought she would faint, Angelina caught Ginny, "Ginny, you need to calm down." She whispered urgently. "It's okay; you are safe we are all here. Just calm down and we will take to St. Mungo's." Ginny nodded, her mind not really comprehending anything.

"STOP!" Molly Weasley's voice boomed from the stands, Ginny jumped and she was not the only one, the children had all scampered to their respective mothers, Teddy clung to Ginny; everyone else was frozen in air.

"WE HAVE TO GET GINNY TO MUNGO'S. THE BABY IS COMING."

Teddy looked up at Ginny fear evident in his eyes, Ginny knew that there was mad activity going around her but she looked at Teddy and smiled confidently but before she could do anything, she was put on a magical stretcher conjured by Hermione. Harry dismounted right next to her panicking. Andromeda had already taken Teddy and was calming him down but Ginny felt someone needed to calm Harry down first.

"You don't worry, Gin. We will get you to the hospital. The baby is coming, we are having a baby! Oh my God!"

Before she knew it they had all apparated to Mungo's, there was mad activity in the hospital too and all Ginny could feel was pain. She was rushed into the maternity ward, the healer had tried to kick Harry out but she had clung to him. The healer gave up, and here they were 4 hours later, holding hands as Ginny's body felt like someone was ripping it apart from the inside. She screamed again, "Almost there Mrs. Potter, one good push and the baby will be out." She screamed as she tried to push the baby out, Harry watched her with horror written on his face and then they heard the protests from a healthy set of lungs.

Harry tore his eyes away from Ginny's tired face to look at his child. "Congratulations, Mr. Potter! It's a boy. Would like to cut the umbilical cord?" The healer asked. Harry shook his head, his hand clutching Ginny's hand, he didn't trust himself with this, he didn't want to cause Ginny anymore pain. He looked at Ginny again, she was tired and almost sleepy but she smiled at him, she looked radiant with her hair sticking on her sweaty forehead.

"Ginny," Harry said, moving closer to her. "I love you and thank you." She smiled at him and dozed off; a healer pulled the sleeve of his robe. Harry turned; his hand still clutching Ginny's and looked at the bundle in the healer's arms. "Would you like to hold him Mr. Potter?"

Harry looked at his hand wrapped around Ginny's, and then at the healer who gave him an encouraging smile. Harry let go off Ginny's hand and folded his hands to make space for the baby, "Just support his neck here." The healer instructed gently. Harry looked down at his now sleepy son, with a mop of auburn hair, the baby yawned widely before sucking his entire fist, his eyes already closed.

Harry walked out to the waiting lounge; the entire Weasley clan including the children were waiting for him. Teddy, Victoire, Dominique and Molly were having a spirited discussion while Lucy and Louise were sleeping their mother's arms. The rest of the Weasleys and Andromeda were sitting around each other chatting amicably. However, they stopped when Harry walked in, he looked dazed. "It's a boy." He said dazedly, and walked over to where Teddy was sitting. He sat on the bench behind Teddy; Teddy didn't need telling twice, he got out of the chair and clambered on to the bench, sitting on his knees next to Harry, peering curiously at the baby. "So, big guy." Harry said quietly, "Say hello to your little brother." Teddy peered in curiously and smiled at the baby. "Dad?" he asked excitedly, "Does this mean I get to do all big brother things with him?"

Harry laughed, "Yes, you will have to look after him and-"

"And teach him how to fly, and play Quidditch and teach him about girls." Teddy added.

"Girls?" Harry asked.

"Yes, I heard Uncle Ron say once, that his elder brothers never taught him about girls; that's why he was such a whoozy in school."

"Thanks Teddy!" Ron said blushing deeply.

"Really, Ron!" George chirped, "You would have been a whoozy despite our efforts. We gave you the bible and you still messed up."

"I wish I could care more about this bible that you are talking about." Mrs. Weasley said after giving them meaningful looks. "But I can't care less. Now move over and let me meet my grandson. Harry how is Ginny though?"

"She is recovering beautifully, Molly. They have just moved her to the room; we would be able to go meet her in a few minutes."

"Oh! I can't believe this, my baby girl, gave birth to her baby now." She whispered as she took the baby in her arms.

"You know we have to give him a name." Ginny said, as Harry shut the door behind Mr. and Mrs. Weasley; the last visitors to leave. Harry looked around, Teddy was still peering in the baby's cradle making funny faces at him and Andromeda was reading a magazine.

"I already told you, Gin. You gave birth to him, you get to name him. I only want to name our daughter Lily."

"Hey dad!" Teddy called from the cradle, "We can call him Robin or Eagle. And then I can be Batman and he could be Robin."

Harry shook his head. Teddy was advanced for his age and was already reading muggle comic books and he was obsessed with Batman. Andromeda and Ginny laughed.

"Well, Teddy." Ginny said, "Do you know that it's Uncle Prongs' birthday today?"

Teddy nodded, "I wished him this morning, like you and Gran asked me to."

Ginny smiled, "And is your Uncle Prongs a superhero too? Like Batman?"

Teddy nodded excitedly, "Yep, and Uncle Padfoot and Auntie Lily and Dora Mum and Moony Da and you and dad and everyone else too."

"So, how about we name him after two heroes? Like you?"

Teddy gave her a quizzical look as Harry watched this exchange with a sense of mad love for Ginny burning through his body. She had not only given him his son, but she was naming the son after his father.

"Teddy, you have been named after your grand dad and Moony da right?"

Teddy nodded.

"So, let's name him after your Uncle Prongs and Uncle Padfoot."

Harry was rooted to his spot, he wanted to rush over and kiss Ginny. He wanted to cry, he wanted to thank Ginny over and over again. "Is James Sirius Potter a good name?"

Teddy smiled. He immediately turned to the baby and asked him "Hey, what do you think? Is James Sirius Potter a good name for you?" The baby gurgled, shoving his foot in his mouth.

Teddy turned back and beamed at everyone, "James says, he likes it."

Harry was still staring at Ginny who was watching Teddy and James. Andromeda tactfully reminded Teddy that they need to go home to sleep. Teddy pouted but relented, he walked and gave a quick kiss and hug to Ginny before trailing behind Andromeda.

"You know you could say something Harry." Ginny said looking at him.

Harry did not have enough words; he crossed the room and kissed Ginny. "Thank you." He whispered again and again, in between kisses. Ginny laughed, her moment of perfect happiness was back again.

So, yey! James is here. I would really appreciate it if I get some reviews on this. But anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Happy Reading.

Much love
