Hey guys, sorry this took so long but I was having a bit of writer's block. Hello new readers! I hope you are all still with me. This is a bit of a slow chapter but I thought it was sweet so I kept it. Hope you all enjoy!
Love,

Two weeks after the birth:
“Harry! COME ON!” Ginny said impatiently from the front door of their home.

“Gin, it will be just one more minute. I have to send this owl to the ministry or they’ll have my job.”

“Harry James Potter! I am leaving in two minutes for our niece’s welcome home party. If you are not with me I am running off with the paperboy!” Ginny shouted at her husband.

“bloody hormones…” Harry murmured to himself as he finished off his letter and attached it to his owl.

“Take this to the minister of magic please.” he said as he fed the owl a treat and sent her out the window.

Straightening his tie as he walked down the front hall chuckling to himself lightly. “Why Mrs. Potter! You look absolutely delicious this afternoon. The paper boy would find you hard to resist, but you wouldn’t really break my heart like that would you?” He said with a crooked smile.

“Oh Harry, you’re lucky I love you.” Ginny said as she tried to tidy Harry’s messy black hair. “You are hopeless Potter. Good thing our God-daughter has no idea how proper hair on a man should look.” Giving Harry a small kiss on the cheek she smiled. “Can we please leave now?”

“Of course my love, I was just waiting for you.” He said grabbing her hand and apparating the two of them before she could protest or smack him for what he said.

They had only been home for one day and Ron already felt like he had always been a father. Setting a plate of finger sandwiches on the coffee table Ron looked at Hermione dozing with Minnerva on her chest, slowly rocking in the chair. He sat across from them and just stared. It was the most beautiful thing in the world to him. His wife and daughter had almost been lost to him, and there they were sitting in front of him with the afternoon sun glinting off of their porcelain skin. A single tear slid down Ron’s cheek as he got up to finish getting ready for the party.

A gentle knock on the back door got Ron’s attention. Abandoning the punch bowl he opened the door to find his mother carrying a huge platter of food.
“Don’t just stand there gawking boy! Take the platter before I drop it!”
“Mum! We’ve got food.” He said a bit taken aback that Molly thought they were so ill prepared.
“I know Ronald, but this is to be frozen. Trust me, neither you nor Hermione will be up for cooking for at least a few weeks! Now where is my granddaughter?” Molly asked loudly pushing past Ron.
“Mum! They are sleeping! Let them rest!” Ron whispered angrily at his mother.

“It’s alright Ron, I’m awake.” Hermione said rubbing her eyes sleepily. “Hello Molly. Minnie is in her crib upstairs.” She said giving her mother-in-law a hug.

“You sit down right now young lady! Giving birth so early is not easy on the body!” Molly said fussing briefly over Hermione before running up to cover her new granddaughter in kisses.

Ron sat down next to his wife and looked at her lovingly. “Have I told you how much I love you Mione?”
Hermione just smiled and nodded.
“Good, because when I thought I might lose you… I thought my world was going to end. If it weren’t for Harry…” Just then Harry and Ginny came in through the front door .
“talking about me again mate?” Harry said with a crooked grin.
“Yes, just telling Mione I think you’re a bloody Prat.” Ron said laughing. Turning to his sister he said, “So Oven, how’s the bun?”
Ginny gave Ron a look that could melt a boulder.
“Bloody hormones…” Ron whispered as he led Harry out of the kitchen by the elbow.
************************************************** ****************************************
After much food was eaten, and the bottles of fire whiskey were nearly empty the entire Weasley family sat in the living room looking upon the newest member of their clan.
“She’s so tiny…” Whispered Fred’s wife.
“Well she was very early.” Hermione responded indignantly.
“I don’t think she meant it as an insult love.” Ron chuckled.
Picking Minnerva up from her Bassinet Ginny smiled at her new niece. Looking at Harry she said, “It’s time.”

Harry came up next to her and spoke softly to the baby, but loud enough for the family to hear.

“Minnerva Molly Weasley, today is the first proper day you have spent in your home. It is only proper for you to be surrounded by the ones who love you most in this world. I am your uncle by marriage, but your god father by choice, and by fate. You are this family’s newest blessing and I promise to care for and love you as you were my own.” Taking Minnerva from Ginny’s arms he kissed the baby lightly on the forehead.

Ginny looked upon her niece with tears glistening in her eyes. “Minnie, my little love, I am so glad you made it to us. You are such a blessing . You’re going to have a difficult life growing up with that one as your father, so always know that you have a place to run.” Pulling out her wand Ginny waved it once over the baby’s head showering silver glitter over Minnie’s face. “ You will always be surrounded by magic in this family, but more importantly you’ll be showered with love. I am proud to be your god mother and so happy you will be there to show your future cousins their way through life. I love you Minnie Weasley, and I pledge that I will be there for your always.” Ginny said lightly kissing the baby’s cheek.

Minnerva slept soundly that night surrounded by the sound of her family talking and laughing late into the night.
