Chapter 1: My Beloved
‘Prologue’
The Weasley family and Harry James Potter were all sitting together in the Maternity Ward waiting room at St. Mungo’s, anxiously waiting for news about Ginny who had been in labor for the last 12 hours. Harry had been with her in the beginning but due to complications the Healer had sent him out of the delivery room to wait with the rest of the family.
Harry and Ginny had married a few weeks after the war ended and were very happy together. They already had twin sons, Albus Remus and James Sirius, who were almost six years old and now were having a baby daughter that they had already named Lily Marie. Ginny had trouble conceiving and they knew she would be their last child but were open to the idea of adoption in the future.
Harry stood up and started pacing nervously around the waiting room while running his fingers through his messy black hair in frustration.
“What is going on in there? Why hasn’t anyone come out and told us what is happening? I should be by Ginny’s side, not waiting out here wondering what is happening to my wife and child,” Harry growled in anger.
“Harry, everything will be alright.” Hermione Weasley stood up and walked over to give Harry a reassuring hug.
“But why did they kick me out of the delivery room?” Harry demanded with tears in his bright green eyes.
Ron had walked up and was standing behind his wife looking at Harry. Seeing how frustrated his best friend was he tried to reassure him as well.
“Try not to worry, mate. Ginny is a fighter and so is my little niece. I just know they will be fine.”
“Yes Harry, Ginny has the one of the top birthing specialists in Britain at her disposal and is getting the best possible care St. Mungo’s has to offer. I am sure it’s nothing too serious and they just wanted you out of the room so they could give her all their attention,” Hermione said, giving Ron a worried look of her own.
“I don’t know, Mione. Ginny looked really tired and she was losing so much blood. I am really worried about her. What will I do if something happens to her?” Harry whispered. “Merlin, I love her so much and my life isn’t worth living without her by my side.”
“Harry James Potter! Don’t you dare speak that way! Ginny will be fine and so will Lily Marie. You’ll see.... By this time tomorrow, you’ll be sitting by her bedside helping her feed the baby while the twins will be trying to figure a way to change her diaper,” Hermione admonished him with a small smile.
“I hope you’re right, Mione, I really do,” Harry answered. “I just have a really bad feeling about this and know that something isn’t right.”
Bill and Fleur had volunteered to watch the twins and were at the Burrow waiting for news about Ginny and Lily. While Arthur, Molly, George, Ron and Hermione came along to give Harry and Ginny their moral support. When the Healer came into the room, they all turned to face her with anxious expressions.
“How is Ginny?” Harry demanded. “When can I see my wife and baby?”
The Healer stood quietly in front of them with her hands folded together. They all knew something was seriously wrong by the sad look in her eyes. Molly started to cry and Arthur put his arm around her shoulders, giving his wife a tight squeeze.
“Mr. Potter, we’ve used every means possible to save your wife but she’s just too weak and has lost so much blood.” The Healer spoke softly while looking at Harry. “It was a very difficult birth and I am afraid that her body couldn’t handle the stress of the birth. It was too much for her. I am so sorry but she won’t make it.”
“What do you mean? What are you saying? No!..... You have to save her......please... Ginny means everything in the world to me. You’ve got to do something to help her.”
Harry cried out in anguish and fell to the floor on his knees with his head bowed, sobbing uncontrollably. Hermione and Ron tried to comfort him while trying to deal with their own pain at the news.
“There is nothing more we can do for Ginny but make her as comfortable as possible and ease her pain,” the Healer told him while giving them all a few minutes to accept the terrible news.
“What about Lily Marie?” Harry finally whispered lifting his head up to look at the Healer with wounded eyes.
“Your daughter will be just fine, Mr. Potter,” The Healer answered. “She is a beautiful and healthy little baby girl who needs her Daddy very much.”
“Is Ginny still alive? Do I have time to say goodbye to her?” Harry asked, standing up with the support of Ron.
“Yes, but she doesn’t have much time left,” the Healer answered him then looked at Arthur and Molly adding, “You may also want to go in and say goodbye to your daughter.”
“Mum... Dad... Please, you go in first.... See Ginny.... I’ll wait out here with George, Ron and Mione,” Harry told them while trying to regain his composure
When Arthur and Molly came out, George went into the room and then Ron followed with Hermione. It was finally Harry’s turn and they all hugged and kissed each other before he walked through the door to see his wife one last time.
Harry quietly shut the door behind him and walked over to the bed Ginny was lying in. Her eyes were closed and she was deathly pale but looked peaceful and did not seem to be in any pain. Sitting down on the bed beside her, Harry leaned down and kissed her on the forehead.
“I love you, Ginevra Weasley Potter,” Harry whispered, kissing her again this time on the cheek and then the lips. “You are the love of my life and I will never feel for anyone else the way I do for you at this moment.”
Ginny’s brown eyes opened and she gave Harry a weak smile. “Harry.... My love... My life....”
“Shhh, Ginny... Don’t try and talk.... save your strength.” Harry lay down beside his wife and gently pulled Ginny against him and held her soft body in his arms. He breathed in the sweet scent of her and tears filled his eyes again at the thought of losing his beloved forever.
“Harry....we don’t have much time left together....” Ginny told him while kissing him back on the lips. They were cold and Harry knew these were the last few remaining minutes they would share together before she left him forever. “You have a daughter... Lily is so beautiful and delicate.... She’s asleep in her crib.... Harry, promise me that you will never let anything happen to Lily and will do anything in your power to protect her and keep her safe.... No matter what it is..... Promise me, my love, I need to hear you tell me.”
“Ginny, you know I would do anything for Lily and our sons, no matter what it is. If something bad were to happen to either one of them, I give you my word that I will do anything in my power to save them and keep them safe. I promise you, my beautiful sweet Ginny.”
They looked into each other’s eyes one last time and Ginny spoke her final words to the love of her life. “Harry..... Don’t grieve for me..... Take care of our children and find happiness..... Live your life and find love again.... I will love you forever and all eternity. my darling Harry.... Don’t be alone and know that I give you my blessing to find another to love.... I will always be watching over you and our children.... Goodbye, my Dearest Harry.....”
“Ginny?.... Ginny....” Harry knew she was gone and gently closed her eyes, kissing them one at a time. He pulled off his glasses and wiped his eyes with his fists then turned his head upon hearing the sound of his baby crying for attention on the other side of the bed. Standing up, he walked over and looked down upon his little girl for the first time. He bent down and picked Lily up in his arms, carefully cradling her tiny body against his chest.
Smiling down at her and kissing her on the head, Harry said, “Hello, Lily Marie Potter, I am your Daddy. Your Mummy and I love you very much but she had to leave us and go stay with the angels in Heaven. I will be taking care of you from now on and very soon you will be meeting your older brothers, James and Albus, who will also protect and look out for you.”
Walking over to the door, he opened it and called his family into the room so they could all grieve together. Then the time for healing would come the next day when Harry would be reunited with his sons and they would meet their little sister for the first time.
