Expecting Ginny

Sorry about not updating for like forever. I went out of town for a few days, didn't have access to a computer, and then got sick as a dog.

To Hannah : As for the Ginny/Harry thing I forget all about that since I'm not a big fan of the couple. Sorry! I'll work that in right away. Lol. I think Arthur does have a thing for pregnant women. I never really thought about that one.

To Experience My Dreams : yea I moved it because I didn't really think it was Ginny/Snape fic anymore.

Ginny was surprised to find herself alone in her parent's bedroom. It took a while for her to remember how she had gotten there in the first place. She remembered that there had been a nightmare but she couldn't remember what it had been about. She knew it had been about the rape but she couldn't remember any details. That was the way Ginny liked it. The last thing she wanted was to remember the rape.

She was climbing out of bed when there was a knock on the bedroom door.

“Who is it?” Ginny asked turning her eyes to the door.

“It's Harry,” a voice answered. “I just wanted to talk to you.”

Ginny looked down at her thin nightgown and blushed at the thought of Harry seeing her like that. The thought was embarrassing but appealing at the same time.

“You can come in,” she said sitting back down on the bed.

The door opened and Harry walked in. A blush crept across his cheeks at the sight of a half naked Ginny lying in her parent's bed. He couldn't help just standing there and staring at her. After a few minutes it started to make Ginny feel uncomfortable. It was reminding her of something but she didn't know what.

“Yes?” she asked breaking the silence.

“I...” he said looking blank for a second. “I just wanted to talk to you about the kid.”

“Oh,” Ginny whispered looking down at her hands.

When the med-witch told Ginny who the father of her baby was she figured her chance with Harry was gone. There was no way he was going to raise Snape's child. Harry silently walked over to her and sat down on the bed next to her.

“I still want to be with you Ginny,” he said putting a hand on her shoulder. “What happened to you was horrible and it wasn't your fought. Snape might have got you pregnant but I'm going to be this kid's daddy.”

Ginny' couldn't stop the tears that filled her eyes and slipped down her face. It was more than she could have ever hoped for. Not only was Harry going to stay with her he was going to raise the baby like it was his own.

“Thank you!” she cried throwing her arms around him.

“It's alright Ginny,” Harry said hugging her back.

The two of them just sat there for what seemed like forever holding each other. For one moment everything for perfect and they were both determined to make the moment last as long as it could. It was finally broken my Mrs. Weasley calling them for breakfast.

“I guess I should go to my room and get dressed,” Ginny said with a giggle when she pulled away from Harry.

“Yea I guess so,” Harry said blushing slightly. “I'll just head down to breakfast.”

Ginny waited until Harry had left the room and had walked down the hallway some before she let out a long happy sigh.

“This is great,” she whispered to herself before climbing out of bed.

She walked down to her to find Hermione had already headed down to breakfast. Ginny pulled on a pair of jeans and t-shirt before heading downstairs. She was glad it would be a while before she would have to buy new clothes and wasn't sure how she was going to pay for them when it did come time to buy them. Hopefully Harry would help out.

Ginny walked into the kitchen to find everyone but Arthur, Bill, and Fleur sitting at the table. Bill and and Fleur had been missing a lot lately. Ginny knew that they were finishing up the wedding plans. She sat down in the empty seat next to Harry.

“Do you kids have plans for today?” Molly asked pushing a plate of food in front of Ginny.

“I thought we'd go out back and play some Quidditch,” Ron said digging into his food.

“I think I'm just going to sit and read today,” Ginny said eating a bit of her food.

Her stomach had felt fine but the second she had put food down it started to cramp. Molly must have noticed her discomfort because she gave her a concerned look.

“I'm fine Mum,” she said pushing down a little more food. “I just feel a little sick.”

“It's just I have to go out and help Bill and Fleur finish their shopping and I hate to leave you in the house all by yourself while everyone is out playing,” Molly explained sitting down across from Ginny.

“I was thinking about going and visiting Remus today,” Harry said quickly. “I feel bad that he has to sit there all day while Tonks is at work. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I bought Ginny along.”

“That's a great idea,” Molly said smiling. “I've been telling Remus that he is always welcome here but he is so stubborn.”

Ginny smiled widely for two reasons. One of the reasons was the fact Harry wanted to spend time with her and the other was that she was going to get to see Remus. She didn't get to see him much.

“I'm going to go take a nap,” Ginny said pushing her food away. “Call me when you're ready to head out Harry.”

“But you just got up,” Hermione said looking just as concerned as Molly had a few minutes ago.

“I know,” she said with sigh. “But I didn't sleep great last night.”

Hermione nodded knowing that Ginny had woken up from a bad nightmare last night. Ginny got up from the table and headed up to her room. She was a bit tired but she didn't really want to sleep. She just wanted to read a good book and think about her future.

Harry stuffed down a piece of bread and grabbed a handful of floo powder. He had wanted to go to Remus' before lunch so that he could have lunch with him but time had flown by. He stepped into the fire, shouted 'the den', and disappeared. Ginny grabbed a hand of powder too and did the same.

She hadn't wanted to go by floo because she remembered how sick she had gotten the last time but she didn't have much choice. Ginny would have fallen on the floor if it hadn't been for Harry. He must have known that she was going to get sick because he had his arms out.

Ginny blinked looking around the room they were in. She had expected to be in a living room or kitchen but instead found herself in a bedroom.

“You think we got the wrong place?” Ginny asked in a confused voice.

Harry didn't answer her. He walked past the large water bed in the room and over to the nightstand. Next to a bottle of what looked like personal lubrication was a picture frame. He picked up the picture frame and looked at it. It was Remus and Tonks hugging. Harry was surprised to see it was muggle photo and didn't move.

“This is the right place alright,” Harry said setting the photo back down. “We just ended up in the bedroom. It might be the only place they have fireplace.”

The two of them tried the only door in the room to find it was the door to the hallway. The stepped out of the bedroom and into the hall. They could hear voices coming from down a flight of stairs.

“Do you think he has company?” Ginny asked raising an eyebrow. “Or maybe Tonks got out of work early.”

The two of the edged closer to the steps. The two voices were louder now and Harry and Ginny knew both of the voices. One voice belonged to Remus and the other belonged to Arthur.

“What's dad doing here?” Ginny asked.

“Sh,” Harry said putting a finger to his lips. “I got a feeling we should listen.”

“I can feel it,” Remus said. “What is it?”

“Ginny is growing up,” Arthur's voice came. “When I look at her I don't see my little girl every more. I see a grown woman when I look at her. Yesterday and this morning I...I had these thoughts.”

“Are they sexual thoughts?” the other man asked.

Arthur didn't say anything but Harry and Ginny guessed he had nodded because of what Remus said next.

“You have nothing to be ashamed of. Here let me help you up.”

The two of them talked for a few more minutes about how what Arthur was feeling was natural and as long as he didn't act on his actions everything would be fine. Ginny couldn't listen anymore. She put her hands over her ears to block out their talking. There was nothing natural about a father lusting for his daughter.

After another minute or two Harry reached up and pried Ginny's hands from her ears.

“It's ok,” he whispered. “Your dad left. Do you want to just go back to the borrow?”

“No,” Ginny snapped. “I have to talk to Lupin.”

Harry raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth to say something but didn't. He didn't see any point. Once Ginny got it in her head to do something there was no stopping her. Maybe that was why Harry liked her so much.

There was silence from downstairs and then the sound of a Television. Ginny, sure that Remus was alone again, walked down the stairs and into the living room. Harry ran to catch up with her.

Remus was sitting in a chair puffing on a cigarette hard and watching what looking like a program on British History. He looked at Ginny and Harry with a surprised look on his face.

“Who the hell do you think you are?” Ginny damned.

“Ginny calm down. You're just...” Harry started but the only girl in the room cut him off.

“My father is lusting after me and Remus tells him it's ok!” She yelled. “I don't have to calm down.”

“Stop!” Remus said firmly pointing his free hand at her. “You sit down and listen.”

For some reason Ginny found herself calming and sitting down on the couch. Harry sat down next to her surprised by her sudden change.

“Now you listen to me,” Remus said shaking a finger at her. “You are going through a lot right now. Arthur told me about the pregnancy and rape. You are really confused and so is your father. You're turning into a woman and that's a big change for him. He is just going to need some time. I'm sure at some point you were aroused by him or one of your brothers.”

Ginny looked down at her hands as a feeling of shame of came her. She remembered seeing Fred naked once and then masturbating afterwords. Oh Merlin, she was being a bit of a hypocrite.

“It's ok,” Harry said patting her back. “Nothing to be ashamed of. Everything has to go through puberty and changes.”

The girl felt like crying. The last couple of days had been so hard on her. She had already cried heavily at the hospital but she felt like crying again. She didn't realize she had started to cry until Remus started to make soothing noises.

“Do you have any tea?” Harry asked looking up at Remus. “I think we could all use a cup of tea.”

“Of course,” Remus said before walking off into the kitchen.

None of them knew that fifty miles away a muggle man had just gotten a notice from St. Mungo's. The black haired man tossed the note angrily to the ground before stalking off to find his wife.
