Chapter 9



6 Months later.

I couldn’t sleep all night. I felt very empty. Anything I ate the night before was completely gone. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling ridiculously sick. At about 2 a.m. I bolted for the bathroom and threw everything up. It was quite disgusting actually, but I guess that’s the reality of it. And after retching so much, I couldn’t help but notice that it left me hungrier than before.

And so I dragged myself down the stairs, looked for something to eat, and spent the rest of the night flipping through the channels on the TV. I found myself sobbing through The Notebook long after it was finished. It was such a beautiful story! I mean, when Allie finally remembered Noah, it was such an emotional moment. And when they died together in that bed, well, I was done for. I couldn’t help but think about me and Harry. I mean, if we had died together, it would be lovely, rather than one dying before the other and then dealing with the pain.

And then I felt the baby kicking. And it hurt a bit, but I just put my hand and felt where the kicking was. This baby was a part of me. Well, a very strong part of me, but a part of me nonetheless. I wasn’t quite sure whether or not if it was a boy or girl, but I loved him/her already.

So this brings me back to today. Being that I hadn’t slept all night, I could just feel the bags under my eyes. I heard Harry coming down the stairs, and I turned around and greeted him. I saw him take a step back, his eyes wide, but he recovered quickly and continued walking. I wonder what that was for.
“Morning, love. How was your night?” I asked him.

“Lovely. How was yours?” He asked, coming over to give me a hug.

“Not that great. I barely slept.” I told him, tired.

“I can see that.”

“What was that?”

“Oh nothing. Hey listen. We should get ready, you’ve got a docto’rs appointment today.”

“I will. I’ve got your tea ready for you. Oh and Harry?” I said. He turned back around to look at me.

“Yes?”

“Do me a favor and don’t faint again.” I told him.

“Oh, c’mon Gin, I only fainted once.”

“Twice.”

“I only fainted twice. I’m all good now.” He said confidently.

“I’m sure you are.” I muttered, walking away.

“What was that?”

“Nothing!”

*******

Me and Harry were in the waiting room. There were many other pregnant woman, who I noticed were staring at Harry. It must have been their first time ever seeing the famous Harry Potter in person. A brunette had waddled over with a wizarding camera.

“Mr. Harry Potter!” She exclaimed. She turned to me. “And Mrs. Potter! Oh, what luck it is that you‘re here today! I’m sorry to bother you today, but I was wondering if I could take a picture with you both?” She asked, as if she was little kid who has just met Santa. I couldn’t help but smile, and both me and Harry nodded.

“Of course! We’ll be quite happy to.” I told her. “And what is your name, may I ask?”

“Vienna. Vienna Mondry. ” She said brightly. I said hello back to her and then she took the camera and set the time. She let go of it and it floated in mid air. The beeping started slowly as we all posed and then it sped up, finally flashing, signaling the fact that our picture was taken.

We all crowded around the camera to look at the picture. I did not realized I was so big! It was quite a shocker, but Vienna was bigger. Vienna looked beautiful, and Harry looked really sweet.

“This is wonderful! Thank you so very much!”

“Oh, its no problem. The picture looks rather nice. I was wondering if I might have a copy?”

“Oh, well of course. If I might ask, how far along are you, Mrs. Potter?”

“Please, call me Ginny. And I‘m about 6 and half months.” I told her. “And what about you?”

“I’m 8 months. Just about another month and he will come into this world. He’s a kicker. Its painful.” She said with a slight frown.

“Just another month to go, and then you’re free from the kicking. My baby has just started.”

“Is it a boy or a girl?”

“Actually, I‘m not sure yet. I have not found out.”

“Then let today be the day. I wish you both luck. It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. and Mrs. Potter. You’re as lovely as they say you are.”

“And you too, Vienna. I hope we cross paths once again.”

“That would be lovely. I will send you the pictures.”

******************

Vienna had left. And what I had not noticed before was that she had another son. He was about 3 years old. And his name was Jason. He, unlike his mother, had blonde curls, and green eyes. He held the most innocent expression, and my heart just melted.

Not long after that did Dr. Vizor call us in.

“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Potter. I trust your six months have been…enjoyable?” He had asked me.

“If by enjoyable you mean retching my brains out, morning sickness and sobbing through The Notebook, then yes, it was spectacular.” I told him. Dr. Vizor chuckled. He gave the impression of being strict and uptight, when in truth, he really wasn’t. He could laugh at anything and everything if his day was good.

“Well, that‘s good. The Notebook, eh? That‘s not uncommon. Heard it before.”

“Then it won’t hurt to hear it again.”

“I suppose not.” He turned to Harry. “You are alright? No quarrels or fainting, I hope?” I could see Harry’s jaw tense.

“I only fainted that one time.”

“You did it twice actually. Once when I announced the she was having a baby, and the second time when I was giving an ultrasound.”

“Well, that will be the last time. Promise.”

“I’m sure it will.” Dr. Vizor muttered under his breath.

“What was that?”

“Nothing.” He said quickly. “Are you ready to know the gender?”

“Yes.” We said in unison.

“it’s a girl.”

And that’s when we heard a thud.


*****************

A/N: It is a bit of a short chapter. I had written it in a hurry. And although I'm really late in saying this, I was to wish all of my readers, and not just readers, but random people who have come across this story, an amazing year! May it be filled with laughs and joy! Anyways, I was trying to decide whether I wanted to stick with Lily being their daughter or not. I mean, it would not make sense seeing she is the youngest of them all in the series and all. Again, I apologize for the wait, but thank you all who has stayed nonetheless. And again, hello to the new readers! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Its not my favorite, but oh well. <3 Tell me what you think.
