It didn't took too long this time, did it? LOL!! Tell me what you think!
Chapter 19 continue
"Why can't we see mum yet?" Albus asked his brother for the third time.
"The healers are still with her; they let grandma in but they're not gonna let us", James replied patiently.
"Is she gonna be okay?" Lilly asked as she was lying next to her father with her hands around his waist and her head on his chest.
"Yes, she'll be fine", James said reassuringly.
"What about the baby?"
"The baby...the baby will be fine too", said James after exchanging a look with Albus; the truth was that they still didn't know anything about the baby.
"Do you promise?"
"Lilly...maybe you should get down from dad's bed", James changed the subject. "The nurses won't let us in again if they see what you're..."
"It's my fault daddy got hit", the girl sobbed as James helped her down the bed.
"It's not your fault Lil", he told her. "The Death Eaters are the only ones to blame".
"They still don't know what's wrong with him, right?" Albus asked James again.
"No, they don't. Al, stop asking me the same things over and over", James said.
"I'm just worried...and I don't understand. He seems fine", he said looking down in his dad's face. "Why isn't he waking up?"
Just when he finished his sentence Harry groaned. All the three kids fell silent and looked at him after looking at each other. Harry let out a sigh and then blinked. He looked at the surprised faces above him and sat up.
"I'm back in my body?"
"Dad?" said James hesitantly. Harry smiled.
"Hey", he said.
"Daddy!" squealed Lilly and within seconds she had climbed the bed again and was hugging him tightly. Albus looked at James, who shrugged and then they fell on him too.
Nothing and no one, not the healers, not Ron and Teddy, not the nurses could stop Harry from getting up and going to Ginny. For a man that was unconscious for apparently six hours, though it seemed way less to Harry, he went from one side of the hospital to the other really fast.
He turned a corner and saw Molly and Arthur talking to a tall man in a white, healer's robe outside from a room that Harry could easily guess that it belonged to his wife. Molly was sobbing but Arthur seemed relieved and happy so Harry guessed that the news was not bad.
"Harry!" said Arthur as he approached them hurriedly. "Are you okay?"
"Never mind me", he said shaking his head and turning to the healer. "How's my wife?"
"Mister Potter, I understand you were in a rather critical condition yourself. Maybe you should lie down and..."
"How's my wife?" Harry demanded again.
"Mister Potter..."
"That's it!" he said and pushing the healer out of the way he opened the door of the room and walked in.
There she was lying against the pillows. She had her eyes closed but she opened them when he came in and a broad smile appeared on her tired face when she saw him.
"Hey, Gin", he grinned relieved and crossed the room to hug her.
"Oh, God, you're okay", she said holding on to him. He kissed her neck and her cheek and then he placed his hands on her face and looked at her. Her lips and her whole face were rather pale and she seemed pretty exhausted but other than that she was looking at him blissfully.
"Are you okay?" he asked her and she nodded slowly.
"Yeah, I'm fine", she said and Harry sighed, then he dragged one of his hands from her face to her stomach.
"And the baby?" he asked her concerned.
"The baby is fine too", Ginny replied. Harry smiled relieved and kissed her.
"That's great, Gin", he said and a few tears of relief escaped his eyes. She wiped them away and run her hand down his face and rested it on his chest.
"Harry, what happened to you?"
"I'm not so sure either, honey", he shrugged.
"But...that curse that hit you...what did it do?"
"Apparently it separated my spirit from my body".
"Huh?"
"The point is that I'm back", he said and now it was her turn to kiss him. "And that you and our baby are okay", he added when they broke apart.
"Yeah but still..." said Ginny hesitantly. "About that book...?"
"There's a traitor in the Ministry, Gin", Harry whispered. "But I'm gonna find who it is and kick..."
"I bet it's that girl!" said Ginny widening her eyes.
"What girl?"
"That blonde one...what was her name? That Artemis!"
"Don't yell", Harry whispered calming her down. "Why do you think that?"
"First of all she appeared when everything started, second she knows all the information the Death Eaters have mysteriously gotten and more importantly...she's blonde!"
"And that's important because...?"
"Because I don't like her!" she said making big efforts to keep her voice down.
"I don't know..." said Harry uncertainly.
"Oh, come on! It's obvious she's up to something!"
"Well, maybe", Harry shrugged.
"You're not convinced", she said; it wasn't a question, it was a realization.
"It's just..." Harry mumbled; he looked at her hesitantly. "Honey, are you sure you're not just picking on her because blonde hair don't fit you?"
She punched his arm.
"Don't make me knock you out again!" she said outraged. He chuckled rubbing his arm and ignoring her lethal look he kissed her lips tenderly.
"What would I do without you?"
"Rust in hell for all eternity", said Ginny narrowing her eyes. Harry narrowed his eyes too grunting and tried to kiss her cheek but she pushed him away. "Don't kiss me; I don't like you!"
"That's nonsense! You swore to love me, remember?"
"I might love you but it doesn't mean I have to like you!"
"Oh, you might love me?" he repeated taking an offended look. "Okay, you know what? I don't like you either!"
She gasped and then she picked a pillow and hid her face in it.
"Nice job, Potter! First you get a woman pregnant and then you tell her you don't like her!" she said sobbing in her pillow. Harry looked at her alarmed.
"No, Gin, I'm so sorry! I was joking! I can't believe you'd actually cry over a joke!"
"And I can't believe you fell for it!" she chuckled throwing the pillow at him. He looked at her exasperated as she laughed at him.
"Hmmm, that was a good one!" he said ironically. "And I thought that James got his teasing habit from my father! But what a surprise! He inherited it straight from his mother!"
"Oh, come on, Harry! I'm in this room for six hours; I'm bored!" she said taking her sweetest look. "Plus you're so cute when you're angry!" she added and kissed his cheek.
"Well, that doesn't change anything", he said pulling a serious face. "I still don't like you and you can cry as much as you want!"
"What if I tell you something you don't know? Will you like me then?"
"What don't I know?" he asked her suspiciously.
"Let's just say that if my mother wants to start knitting clothes for our baby I know what color they should be", she said smiling.
"What...? Wait...you know...? You know the sex of the baby?" Harry asked her widening his eyes. She nodded. "So what is it?" he asked impatiently.
"I don't know if I should tell you because you said you don't like me".
"Oh, come on, love, you're my favorite woman in the world, you know that! What's it gonna be?"
She bit her lower lip smiling.
"What do you want it to be?"
"I...I don't care...as long as it's healthy..." said Harry and Ginny's smile widened.
"Well, no need to worry about that; the healers said that if I'm a little careful there's no need for her not to be a healthy baby".
"Her?" Harry repeated thrilled. "It's a girl?" Ginny nodded and Harry gasped and hugged her. "That's so great! Now we're gonna have two of each!"
She laughed with him and he kissed her again. The door opened just as they broke apart. All their three kids followed by Ron, Molly and Arthur came in. Ginny smiled and opened her arms and soon Lilly was in them.
"So mum you okay?" Albus asked her as he sat on her bed next to his father.
"Yeah, Al, I'll be fine", she nodded.
"What about the baby?" James asked approaching them.
"Well", smiled Harry, as James sat on his other side. "You'll be happy to know that you're gonna have another sister".
"What? It's a girl?" Molly exclaimed excited. "Why didn't you tell us before if you knew?"
"I wanted Harry to be the first to know", Ginny shrugged and her mother run and hugged her.
"Okay, one more person on that bed and it's gonna collapse", Ron pointed out.
"Don't be negative Ron", his father told him.
"Mum, it's true? I'm gonna have a sister?" Lilly asked her. Ginny nodded.
"Oh, thank God!" Albus exclaimed. "Another sister I can handle but another one like him..." he said pointing at James. As the others laughed James leaned over his father to smack him or he would have if Harry hadn't grabbed his hand.
"Okay, come on, Ron is right; we're gonna break the bed", he said and he got up dragging his sons with him.
"Harry, you should probably go back to your room and get some rest", said Ron but his friend shook his head.
"Nah, I'm fine", he said. "Hermione isn't back from the Ministry, is she?" he asked then.
"No, she's not", Ron replied. "It's kind of disturbing she's not though; she called five hours ago from the mirror and she said that she'll be here soon".
"Yeah and when she brought me here she said the same thing", James added.
"Have you tried calling her on the mirror again?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, she's not answering".
"Oh,come on Ron, don't worry; I bet she's just busy at the Ministry" said Ginny and her brother sighed.
"Something that should worry me", Harry added tiredly.
"Oh, no mister, you don't!" Ginny exclaimed. "You're not going back to the Ministry; not today at least! You're hurt!"
"I'm fine", Harry sighed. "And I don't really have a choice. I have to go".
"Oh, come on!"
"I'm gonna stay until they let us take you home, but then I'm gonna have to go, Ginny. I'll check on Hermione too", he added turning to Ron.
"Fine", Ginny gave up."Just don't get hit by another curse again".
"I'll try", he smiled. "Just don't get attacked by more Death Eaters again".
"I'll try".
